Nine Star Astrology e-book

What you will find in the e-book:

Calculation method for day Ki Numbers
No longer the best kept secret in Oriental astrology, the e-book unlocks the calculation method for Day Stars.

Your Third Number
Joseph Yu gives the Ki Number for your day of birth, which has great relevance to understand your character and destiny. If your Numbers are 9.4.1, your are born on a 1 Water day.

Life Reading
You will find yet a new – never explored before - way of interpreting the Nine Palaces of the Luo Shu which will inspire you to a new style of Life Reading, effortlessly also offering a bright look on the subject of directionology. Profound and to the point, so as to help you follow your journey through any Luo Shu configuration for any period of nine years, nine months, nine days.

Clarification: Joseph Yu restores the third Number in its original function of Day Ki influence according to ancient Chinese astrology. If 9.4.1 are your Nine Star Ki Numbers, then the third Number now signifies that you were born on a 1 Water day, whereas the Japanese style third Number carries a directional significance to the third Number, rather than the time aspect.

Back to the roots

This publication will have lasting consequence for those who have been thus far studying the Japanese version of this astrological system, regardless of level of proficiency.

With his long awaited e-book publication “Nine Star Astrology” and “Nine Stars Calendar”, Joseph Yu managed to restore what has been for long regarded the Japanese system of Nine Star Ki back to its original Chinese roots.

Many practitioners in the West and even those in Asia have acquainted themselves with Nine Star Ki in what has been referred to as the Japanese style that came about in its commonly accepted form only in 1924.

Meanwhile many have been familiar with the study of the 9 Stars and the effect of the 9 Stars on the environment and built structures (Classical Chinese Feng Shui), their influence on character, temperament and destiny (Nine Star Ki) and their deeper properties (Yi Jing).

Die-hards of the art know that the earliest titles in the English language go back to the early seventees of the last century, when this wonderful art of Life Reading was first introduced to the West by the Japanese teacher Michio Kushi.

Many fine authors since covered the subject in a fair number of recommendable titles. No any one single document can cover all there is to know about the 9 Stars and their influence on destiny, but it is clear that - even upon release date -, this e-book claims and deserves its most prominent place amongst them.

Calculation for Day Stars revealed!

Insiders know too well how the actual calculation method of Day Ki Numbers had remained one of the best kept secrets of Oriental astrology up to very recently. Not just that, different sources will produce different calculation methods and - as a result to this - different Day Ki Numbers.

Joseph Yu was already the first Chinese master ever to have shared the actual calculations for Day Ki Numbers in Heluo’s Nine Star Ki Yahoo! group,: in his e-book he goes the extra mile and unlocks the final explanation. It is done in a way that any serious student of Classical Chinese Feng Shui and Nine Star Ki will not just have access to the calculations, but now the explanation will enable you to do your own calculations independently and arrive at the correct Day Ki Star. All this is short for: as far as I am concerned, the explanation in this book - firm and handsome - of Day Ki calendric dynamics dismisses all known explanations so far.

Although it is interesting to find that all the existing Chinese and Western calendars of Day Ki Numbers produce different Day Stars, I am not satisfied with just my above statement, as a review also allows to get just a little more detailed and it permits us to also look into the why, so let’s get a little more technical here.

It is clear that the author does not merely take in yet another opinion in an already existing pool of debate, opinion, arguments and controversy, as human opinion is totally immaterial in the world of Ki. Instead, he goes on to explain how calculations where done up to recently and why those calculations were technically unsatisfactory.

Yu explains how even the most prominent sources seemed to have misunderstood terms such as Shang Yuan, Zhong Yuan and Xia Yuan. Said differently, there seems to be a widespread pre-occupation with the Feng Shui classification of 180 years divided into 3 cycles of 60 years. However, in dealing with Daily Stars we are talking about days, rather than years and here is where flaw and inconsistency came in, according to Yu.

The defect will be mended once we follow the rationale that 360 days are divided into two cycles of 180 days each, while 180 days are then further subdivided into Shang Yuan, Zhong Yuan and Xia Yuan according to the position of the sun on the ecliptic (or what the Chinese call Yellow Path).

Joseph Yu takes the reader on a journey of Jie and Qi, enabling the reader to independently find his way through the wild forest of Daily Star calculations, bringing the subject back to the shape of a nicely done landscaping, or to stay with computer terms, the discourse is like the latest update in an otherwise great computer program.
