This series will introduce you to a new divinatory approach in 9 Stars and Luo Shu analysis. With exception of the basic Magic Square of 5 Earth (left), each Luo Shu produces – what we baptized – a Reversed Luo Shu Axis. Technically, Reversed Luo Shu Axis be instigated by the Star that appears opposite its original Luoshu Palace, so that the Reversed Luo Shu Axis is the directional axis in Luo Shu where energies may be deemed ‘off’ or uncharacteristically ‘going nowhere’. Now, for reason that annual Star 7 Metal arrives opposite its native Luoshu Palace for 2009, the year’s Reversed Luo Shu Axis appears East-West. If we then ‘freeze’ the annual Star configuration and limit to just the yearly progression of monthly Luo Shu, either one of your personal 9 Ki Stars be stepping onto the Reversed Luo Shu Axis, such a couple of times in 2009 or any other year. Consequently, this may affect both personal fate progression and global news events. If at this time you are not aware of your personal Stars in Nine Star Ki astrology, you may go read the free online course 9 Star Ki Prediction – Personal And News Events by Heluo. Meanwhile, let’s here introduce and examine a new approach to 9 Stars and Luo Shu analysis, whether used for purpose of 9 Star Divination or Flying Star Feng Shui.

Basically, for sake of your personal fate progression – and here for the 9 Fire year of 2009 -, you’d be looking at either two situations occurring for your personal 9 Ki Stars. Since the Reversed Luo Shu Axis for 2009 be occupied by annual Star 2 Earth in the West and annual Star 7 Metal in the East, then of course, if you are a 2 Earth native or a 7 Metal native from birth, the portents may apply to you for the duration of 2009.
It may be even that your Stars are either 2.7.x or 7.2.x, in which case both your birth Stars be on the Axis for the full year. If neither Star 2 or Star 7 is at your Ki map, whatever then your personal Stars, your Stars be at one point still arriving on the East-West Luo Shu Axis for a month, or even a day.
Ok, let’s study and if you take notes, you’ll be sitting on strong new Luo Shu syntax for your divination of personal fate progression and news events, while naturally, the occurrence applies past, present and future, so you may go ahead and pull your life chronology to see how the Reversed Luo Shu Axis had perhaps manifested for you 9, 18, 27, 36 years ago.
If we look at the Magic Square – as used for purpose of Nine Star Ki astrology, 9 Star Divination and Flying Star Feng Shui – as if it is a huge battery, we may say it distributes its magnetic energies over the cardinal and subcardinal directions, just as if it would be a compound of batteries, with all the plus and minus poles duly in place. As a consequence, neither single Luoshu Palace just lives on its own, on the contrary, whatever event occurs for a Star in one Palace will be greatly affected by the Star and Palace to its opposite direction.
It so happens that, with the exception of the basic Luo Shu of 5 Earth, each 9 years, months and days one particular Star will appear opposite its original Luoshu Palace.
If you refer to the basic Luo Shu of Star 5 Yellow to the left, you will see Star 7 Metal in its native Palace in the West. If we look at the Luo Shu on the right, we see that 2009 is a 9 Fire year, so that Star 7 has migrated to the East in the annual Luo Shu, usually home to the 3 Wood Star. We note how Star 7 Metal has moved opposite its original Luoshu Palace for 2009.

Now, so far – and if you’d ask any 9 Ki adept – nothing is new and actually pretty much ‘business as usual’, but while keeping an eye out on annual Star 7 for 2009, the real focus of this series will be on annual Star 2 Earth in the Luo Shu West for 2009, because we may say that annual Star 2 will have its associations ‘going nowhere’. It is actually the annual Star 2 we wish to here direct your attention, as it appears opposite annual Star 7.
This series then not so much focuses on the ‘Star that appears opposite its original Palace’, but (bear with me here), the ‘Star that appears opposite the Star that appears opposite its original Palace’.
But we’ll be still looking into annual Star 7 a bit. The single occurrence of a Star appearing opposite its native Palace – and this is what anyone in 9 Ki already knows – would be sufficient to say its associations to reap “‘opposite result from what one had set out to achieve”.
Any Star appearing opposite its original Palace (Luo Shu House) – and by magnetic dissonance – would be sufficient to declare its portents ‘off’, but we have uncovered how the actual focus should then be on the Star yet arriving opposite this Star, annual Star 2 for 2009, which Star will then have its associations ‘going nowhere’. So, for this series, note designations such as ‘off’ and ‘going nowhere’.
This is short for saying that, due to the occurrence of Reversed Luo Shu Axis, annual Star 7 may have its portents ‘off’ for 2009, while annual Star 2 may have its portents be ‘going nowhere’ for 2009, with connotations here then mild or rather more noteworthy.
The East-West Luo Shu Axis for 2009 by itself could involve magnetic disturbances affecting health, your marriage, relationships or career, but also smaller or larger scale contracts, merges or negotiations, such then not just into the suggested East-West directions for 2009 but, as we have witnessed and as your media will show you, on account of whatever generally associates with the Stars arriving on such Axis.
Having safely gone passed last paragraph, we need to stop the clock for a moment, as you may have noticed it actually claimed how the Reversed Luo Shu Axis might involve magnetic disturbances that could affect health, marriage, even news events.
Now, as always, we need approach Luo Shu from just cold soil advance and be guarding against any active statements or any suppositions stemming from this, or if not, we’d be soon advancing into Luo Shu from all too ‘emblematic’ or conceptual notion.
Of course, there is no Luoshu – or Star or Palace there – to have been assigned singular command over fires, floods, earthquakes, accidents, health, births or deaths. However, on your quest of foreseeing tendencies either for personal fate progression or news events, you wouldn’t stand a chance if not you had some parameters to go on, let’s call it 9 Stars and Luo Shu syntax. Having said that, yes, were you to from hereon involve the Reversed Luo Shu Axis in your readings, you’d be seeing your score boost by certain magnitude.
As a round up of Part One of this series, once more note the East-West Luo Shu axis for 2009, it is the Reversed Luo Shu Axis for the year, affecting annual Star 7 and annual Star 2 and all of their associations.
If you look at annual Star 7’s position for 2009, it is in the East. It settles opposite its native Luoshu Palace, so it would be out of character there, it will have its portents ‘off’.
Perhaps a bit less obvious – but a critically more significant – scheme for purpose of this series, occurs to annual Star 7’s opposite position in this Luo Shu, involving annual Star 2 in the West. So, we may say that (mind you, once more a mouth full) the Star that appears opposite the Star that appears opposite its original Luoshu Palace be ‘going nowhere’.
What is implied here is that, magnetic energies on such Axis will not calibrate, rendering matters to no avail, or whatever other classification of sorts you may glue to the occurrence from your personal experience.
We will use Part Three of this series to show you a choice of attributes for Star 7 and Star 2, which – just as this series – be derived from our Heluo Qi Explorations class manual ‘9 Star Divination – personal and news events’ and which – besides our 4-day master classes in the Netherlands – you can obtain either as Distance Learning Support (2 months of private training with Heluo) or just as the printed book if you contact us at heluo@xs4all.nl and ask Heluo to send you the belonging pdf with details. Again, if you don’t know your personal 9 Ki Stars or for any other question, you may call Heluo in the afternoon (GMT+1) at +31 23 5333375. We will use Part Two to discuss what the Reversed Luo Shu Axis may mean to you personally.

Dear Darma,
Yes, it seems I am a blogger now and yeap, you’re the first comment.
I usually stick with the terms I’d be using in class and my manuals, but when on
www I may be using terminology alternately, in line with terms in use, so that
sometimes practitioners refer to Wood as ‘Tree’ and to Earth as ‘Soil’, vice versa.
Hope you’d be finding good use for the Reversed Luo Shu Axis thingy in your divinations and keep up the good work!

Congratulations Heluo on your new blog! I have very much enjoyed your free articles in your website and look forward to your continuing effort in spreading teachings of Chinese metaphysics.
Finally you have your own blog! Your personal Star doesn’t visit Star 8 in September for nothing!
I just have one comment on your first article. In the Basic Luoshu of 5 yellow grid, you use the terms of Tree and Soil instead of the more common Wood and Earth. In your website articles, you use the terms Wood and Earth.
Anyway, it’s great contribution to the metaphysics world, and I look forward to more articles from you! And I’m glad to be the first one to comment on your blog!
