How to find your three Nine
Star Ki numbers
Please
note that Nine Star Ki is a Japanese system that, except in the case of 5
Earth, does not distinguish between Numbers for men and women.
Here, the system strictly differs from the Chinese Ming Gua system
typically used in Xuan Kong Feng Shui. The Ming Gua system distinguishes
and differentiates between men and women. In the Ming Gua system, only
during a 3 Wood year will men and women have the same first Number.
Both systems use the Chinese solar calendar and agree that a year starts
at either 4 or 5 February of a year, right through 3 or 4 February of the
following year. If your birth falls in the Gregorian period of 1 January
to 4 February, you are considered as having been born in the previous
year.
Finding your first Number
Before we show you a
simple equation, you may use this table to find your first Number.
|
Finding Your First Number
Simply look up your year of birth in this table.
A
year starts at either 4 or 5 February of a year, and runs right
through 3 or 4 February of the following year.
If your birth falls in the Gregorian period of 1 January to 4
February, you are considered as having been born in the previous
year.

Finding
your second Number
After you found your first Number, use this table to find your second
Number. This Number comes from your month of birth.
|
Finding Your Second Number
To find your month Number you need your first Number.
When this first Number is either 1, 4, or 7 check second column.
When your first Number is either 3, 6, or 9 check the third column.
When your first Number is either 2, 5, of 8 check the last column.
Go to the column that has your first number and look up your month
of birth. Cross both and find your second (or ‘Child’) Number.
Please note that, like Nine Star Ki years, months never start on the
first. If your day of birth falls between 1st and 9th of a month,
chances are that you have to adopt Number of the previous month.
When in doubt, contact via private e-mail. I will tell you your
numbers.

Finding your third Number

Finding Your Third Number
Finally, take your first and second Number and find your third
Number here.
Then read emotions belonging to your first two Numbers.
Your third Number is not used for character and emotions, nor is it
used for divination. |

Beside these three Numbers given by Nine Star Ki, there is yet
another magnificent system given out by author Robert Sachs
in which you arrive to a different third Number. Robert Sachs is one
of our appreciated list members and can be asked questions through
our NineStarKi list. See booklist at the end.
Also, master Joseph Yu published a book on Nine Star Ki,
restoring the system back in its original Chinese form, where the
third Number is the Qi of your day of birth. Master Joseph Yu can be
also contacted through our NineStarKi list.

Calculating first Numbers for men, women and years in Nine Star Ki
Both men and women calculate their first
(annual) Nine Star Ki Number, or the Number of any year AD for that
matter, using the following equation:
Add all
four Numbers of the year concerned, reduce to 1 digit and deduct result
from 11. Examples:
|
1973 |
1
+ 9 + 7 + 3 = 20 |
2
+ 0 = 2 |
11
- 2 = 9 |
Number 9 |
|
1997 |
1
+ 9 + 9 + 7 = 26 |
2
+ 6 = 8 |
11
- 8 = 3 |
Number 3 |
If the
outcome is 5, then men adopt Number 2 and women adopt
Number 8. The system is based on Trigrams from the Yi Jing (I Ching or
Book of Changes). Number 5 belongs to the center and does not have a
Trigram.
However, in addition to the adopted Numbers, both men and women
also stick to the Number 5 to find Nine Star Ki character and emotions of
5 Earth that – although 5 has no trigram allocated to it - are quite
specific indeed.
Women Numbers in Chinese Gua System
Women
use another calculation. The resulting Number is called Gua, but used for
Feng Shui purposes only, not for Nine Star Ki.
Note
that women use this for applications of compatibility and
directionology
in Chinese Feng Shui, but still refer back to their Numbers given by the
‘male’ equation for Nine Star Ki purposes.
This
may be confusing at first, but you will find that using female Gua for
Nine Star Ki purposes – description of character and in applying
directionology - is highly inaccurate.
There has been so much interest in both Feng Shui and Nine Star
Ki in recent years, that you may wonder why you are a certain Number in
one system and another Number in yet another system. Let us not add to the
confusion and give you the equation used for women in Ming Gua.
Note
that women use this for applications of compatibility in Chinese Feng
Shui, but still refer back to their Numbers given by the ‘male’ equation
for Nine Star Ki purposes.
Again,
add all Numbers of the year concerned, reduce to 1 digit and add 4.
|
1973 |
1
+ 9 + 7 + 3 = 20 |
2
+ 0 = 2 |
[add 4]
2 + 4 = 6 |
Gua 6 |
|
1959 |
1
+ 9 + 5 + 9 = 24 |
2
+ 4 = 6 |
[add 4]
6 + 4 = 10 (1 + 0 = 1) |
Gua 1 |
If the outcome is 5, then men adopt Number 2 and women adopt Number 8.
The system is based on trigrams. Number 5 belongs to the center and does
not have a trigram.
Here is a much easier list to find Numbers for years, males and
females. Note that the male cycle is yang – descending – and the female
cycle is yin – ascending – and that both cycles coincide at 3 Wood.
