Luoshu 洛書, also known as Chinese square of nine, mewa in Tibet, is probably one of the oldest mysteries. What does it actually mean? How is it derived astrologically? Why does Xuankong Fengshui玄空風水, one of most sacred Fengshui emphasis on it so much? These are the answers I can’t reply.
But there is one thing I am certain, the current luoshu is wrong. The path or the sequence also known as Zi Bai Fei Xing紫白飛星- purple- white flying star is incorrect. If you look the trajectory of so-called luoshu, it is made up of straight line and sharp turn- that is nowhere in resemblance to any astrological trajectory.
What, then, is the correct luoshu? Well, I think if Luoshu does reflect astrological bodies; it supposes to move in circular motion, and luoshu should reflect angle, not trajectory. Oh yeah! It turns out it is possible and the diagram looks like this. In another word, between each numerical sequence there is 135º angle difference, that is, between each number, the angle is the same.
So you may ask what about between 3,4,5,6,7. Well, between 3 and 4, and between 6 and 7, the angle is 45º plus 90º vertical-you have to think 3D- yes135º again. And 5 is just a dividing point of Bagua. That is another secrets linked with fengshui.
