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.

Here's a list of the elements and their colors:

Water: shades of blue, black, turquoise and deep purples. These have a fluid quality. Water colors support 3 and 4 tree people, are calming for 6 and 7 metal people and can sometimes help to calm 9 fire people.

Tree: shades of green. These have movements and qualities of new ideas. Green supports 9 fire people, and helps 1 water people to get a move on. They can also inspire the earth personalities.

Fire: shades of orange-yellow, yellow, red, bright yellows and red-pinks. These are expansive and charging. These support 2, 5 and 8 earth people and help to re-direct tree people. They can help to warm the metal personalities.

Fire/Earth: shades of salmon, peach, pink. These colors are warm and nurturing. (I have a nice sort of clay pot color in my living room. It's very cozy in there.)

Earth: shades of brown, tan, beige, off-white with warmth. These are grounding and nurturing. Earth colors support 6 and 7 metal people, calm 9 fire people and can help refocus the water personality.

Metal: shades of white, gray, silver and metallics. These are clarifying and defining elements. These help support 1 water people and create movement for 2, 5 and 8 earth people. They can help re-direct the tree personalities.

Well, folks. That's about as far as I've gotten. Let me know what you think.

Rhiannon,

Thanks so much for posting this enlightening info. I printed it out and will work out mine. Feng Shui is cool...I've taken a few classes years ago but haven't done much with it since.

Um. I was born in 1980, so my number adds up to 9 (again, a 9!). Will I have to subtract 3 now?
