Create Highlights A and D.[3]
As I outlined in my post about Feng Shui numerology, the numbers 1 – 9 are associated with specific areas of the Bagua in the Lo Shu, or “Magic Square.”. The square is known as Lo-shu Grid in Chinese Numerology. The Lo Shu Square 3x3 is a magic square. Chinese literature dating from as early as 2800 BC tells the legend of Lo Shu or 'scroll of the river Lo'. In ancient China, there was a huge flood.
If you tried to add up your columns, rows, and diagonals right now, you’d notice that they don’t yet add up to your magic constant. You have to swap some boxes between the top left and bottom left quadrants to finish your magic square. We’ll call those swapped areas Highlight A and Highlight D.- Using a pencil, mark all the squares in the top row until you read the median box position of Quadrant A. So, in a 6x6 square, you would only mark Box 1 (which would have the number 8 in it), but in a 10x10 square, you would mark Boxes 1 and 2 (which would have the numbers 17 and 24 in them, respectively).
- Mark out a square using the boxes you just marked as the top row. If you only marked one box, your square is just that one box. We’ll call this area Highlight A-1.
- So, in a 10x10 magic square, Highlight A-1 would consist of Boxes 1 and 2 in Rows 1 and 2, creating a 2x2 square in the top left of the quadrant.
- In the row directly below Highlight A-1, skip the number in the first column, then mark as many boxes across as you marked in Highlight A-1. We’ll call this middle row Highlight A-2.
- Highlight A-3 is a box identical to A-1, but placed in the bottom left corner of the quadrant.
- Highlight A-1, A-2, and A-3 together comprise Highlight A.
- Repeat this process in Quadrant D, creating an identical highlighted area called Highlight D.
