The Cube of Nine Star Ki associated with the number at Centre Feng Shui

Nine Star Ki Cube

with 5 at the centre

In this image we see three faces of a cube with 5 at its centre and the three faces of the cube from the rear. We do not see the base of the cube but we can see the numbers all around its edges and we know 5 is at the centre throughout so we can create the base plate easily.

There are 27 cubes in each set......in this image 5 is at the centre so there is a cross throughout the whole cube containing 7 cubes the most used number in the pattern. We can see the 6 cubes at the centre of each face and the very centre is also a number 5.

 All six faces work on the principle of these directions the Centre is the Heart of the cube North is at the bottom South at the top etc., You can work out the placements of numbers for each face when you know the Nine star ki number position....no matter what number is at the centre the next number is N.W. Then W. then N.E then South then North then S.W then East then S.E and back to centre. The numbers flow in this same manner no matter what number is at the centre. So you can create a face with any number and then you have to work out were the numbers go in the other five faces making sure each face shows all nine numbers.

 

Now you have one face you can work out what the other faces read.

The directions may seem like a distraction.......you may find it easier to work with the numbers.......or the colours of the bricks.........I find a combination based on directions is quickest.

If we look at the 5 based centre at the top of the page number 1 is in the North position, it is in the South on the next face to the right........it is then in the West position on the face after that........this puts it in the East position on face four and then it returns to the North on the first side again. So only 3 cubes of the number 1 are required.

Then move onto the four corners and place those same numbers in opposite diagonal lines creating an X through the cube. All four corner numbers appear only twice. Making 2 off each number 2,4,6,8.

We can see number 3 in the East on the face now moves to the North, South and West positions.........and number 7 in the West moves to North, South then back to West. Again only 3 cubes are required for the number 3 and the number 7.

So with this simple direction route you can make up the nine star ki cube with all 9 numbers on each face within seconds.

Number Element Number Required when 5 is at centre

1 Water 3

2 Earth 2

3 Tree/Air 3

4 Tree/Air 2

5 Earth 7

6 Metal 2

7 Metal 3

8 Earth 2

9 Fire 3

As we can see above when the number 5 is at the centre Water and Fire are equal in measure with 3 blocks each. In all other number based centres they dominate with 3 or are sub dominants with 2. Earth has 2, 7, 2 a total of 11 cubes of Earth and by the fact that there are always three Earth counts it always dominates here 5 is strongest and 2 and 8 are equal........in all other numbers dominance changes. Number 3 Tree/Air has 3 blocks and number 4 only 2 so the number 3 type of tree/air is the strongest variety here. Number 6 Metal has 2 blocks and number 7 has 3 so number 7 type of metal dominates here.

There is a flow to the best energies and it can be read thus.....

Start at number at centre in this case 5....

5 6 7 8 9 1 2 3 4

+ - + - + + - + -

This sequence of positive and negative remains the same yes, no, yes, no, yes, yes, no, yes, no............just start at the beginning with the number at the centre of the cube.

In this case numbers 5, 7, 9, 1 and 3 are happy enough when 5 is at the centre but the numbers 6, 8, 2, 4, are least happy. You may observe from that being on the corner of the cube is the place where you are most likely to get knocked off whereas the cross of cardinal points N.S.E.W and Centre are safer. Perhaps why a suitcase has reinforced corners.

So work out what your cube contains and work to your own strengths. For me as a One Water ….

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9

+ - + - + + - + -

My corners or less positive areas are 2, 4, 7 and 9 and my most positive attributes are 1, 3, 5, 6, 8.

So Earth energies 5 and 8 are good for me, 1 Water is my dominant, 3 is the best tree/air energy for me and 6 metal energy is my best choice. Interestingly 1 supports 3 and 6 supports 1.

So my talents lie in being supported and thus becoming more than I could be with the support of number 6 I then have the energy required to support and be creative through the number 3. 1 Water is the outlet so career and work is strong for me. I can go it alone if required.

If you look at the face of the cube and travel clockwise )left from North, East which is also West and then to South............ you see why is is called News.

In this year of 3 at the centre we start with............

Now you can easily (well....) work out what is good for us to focus on in this 3 year ….....we know at a glance now that 2, 9, 6 and 4 are at the corners so not such a great year for them.........so it must be a good year for 1, 3, 5, 7 and 8.

Make the most of the qualities available for me it is a time for new ideas, ancestors, genetics...........you don't say.........enjoy finding out more about yourself.
