Enter a date of birth above to draw its Lo Shu grid. The calculator places each digit of the date in the three by three square, then lists the missing numbers, the repeated numbers and the lines that are complete or empty.
The method used
The digits of the day, month and year are placed in the square, and zeros are left out. A tick box adds your moolank and bhagyank to the square as extra digits, which many Indian teachers do and others do not. No kua number is added. The Lo Shu grid page explains each position, the arrows and planes, and the points on which teachers disagree.
Reading the result
A missing number is read as a quality that asks for more deliberate effort, and a repeated number as an emphasised one. These are traditional descriptions, offered for reflection, and the grid makes no prediction about luck, money, health or marriage. Your two main numbers come from the moolank and bhagyank calculator, and the numerology hub covers the rest of the section.
Frequently asked questions
↳ Why are zeros not in the grid?
The square holds the numbers 1 to 9 only, so a 0 in a date has no place in it and is skipped.
↳ What does the tick box change?
It adds your moolank and bhagyank to the square as two extra digits. Some teachers do this, and it can fill a box or repeat a number that the date alone would not.
↳ What is a complete arrow?
A line of three in the square, such as 4, 9 and 2, in which all three numbers are present. Tradition reads it as a strength in that area.
