Ok, we're only dealing with the first 2 #s of your Nine Star Ki. Your constiutional# and your emotional#.
To get the first # add together the year of your birth. Example: I was born in 1974 so I get 21. You need a # that is less than 11 so I add together 21 to get 3. Then subtract 3 from 11 to get 8. (I'm still shaky on why we have to subtract, so don't ask... just do it )
IMPORTANT POINT: The Chinese New year begins on Feb 4. So if you were born between Jan. 1 and Feb 4 please calculate your birth year as the previous year. Ex: born Jan. 9, 2002 would calculate to Jan. 9, 2001 because of the Chinese New Year.
1 = Water - the visionary
2 = Earth - the friend
3 = Tree - the initiator
4 = Tree - the philosopher
5 = Earth - the gatherer
6 = Metal - the leader
7 = Metal - the problem solver
8 = Earth - the contemplator
9 = Fire - the star
Now for the second #: emotional element:
Date of Birth.............First # is:...........................................
.................................1, 4, 7..........5, 2, 8..............3, 6, 9
2/4 to 3/5..................8 - earth......2 earth............5 earth
3/6 to 4/5..................7 metal........1 water...........4 tree
4/6 to 5/5..................6 metal........9 fire...............3 tree
5/6 to 6/5..................5 earth........8 earth............2 earth
6/6 to 7/7..................4 tree..........7 metal............1 water
7/8 to 8/7..................3 tree..........6 metal............9 fire
8/8 to 9/7..................2 earth........5 earth............8 earth
9/8 to 10/8................1 water........4 tree.............7 metal
10/9 to 11/7..............9 fire............3 tree..............6 metal
That is a copy of the chart that is in the book (I'm not sure why there isn't a row for December or January?). So: as another example: Since my first # is an 8 and I was born on June 6 (6/6) then my emotional # is 7 metal.
I'll continue this in a second post.
