Here we see the way the energies of Nine Star Ki work for double number months and years. Lets take the example of February, 2025 last month we had 2/2 CCC at the centre which puts double numbers in the rest of the positions for the whole month. So 2/2 at centre, 3/3 in NW, 4/4 in West, North East position holds the number 5 and for some reason I have a desire to leave it empty. Then 6/6 in South, 7/7 in North, 8/8 in S.W. 9/9 in the East and finally 1/1 in S.E. So a good month for wealth and prosperity as number 1 is happy in the 4 position. 6/6 in South not so comfortable although I often think of the alchemist when you put fire and metal together. In the South West we have 8/8 Earth energies so a good position here. 9/9 in the East is also a good position although Fire can be a drain on Wood energy for obvious reasons perhaps it is creating ash to feed the Earth at centre so not so bad after all. 4/4 in the West not so good you can imagine that axe comiing down onto the wood and drastically changing it or could it merely be a prune which makes sure the wood stays in great shape. 3/3 in North West again a metal/wood scenario. Then 7/7 in the North is another good positioning metal supports and creates water so it is conducive to harmony. Finally we have 2/2 at the centre which is a comfortable position for Earth to be and as we see all 8 numbers are turning their energies outwards whereas 2/2 at the centre has its energies turned inwards.
2/2 here looks like a pretty parcel gift wrapped even the edges are as you would cut a ribbon on a gift so perhaps this is a month when everything turns inwards and recharges the gift of a life returning full of energy. There are only two months of a 2 year that have 2/2 centres and that is February and November.
Number 5 is not a number in The I Ching at all so I treat it as another number 2 when I have to but ideally I think in this circumstances we should treat it like the game of 8 squares you have to move around to get them in different positions. 8 squares on a grid of nine and you can play that game by leaving out the number 5. Sometimes called the 9 square game or the 8 square game. Note also that the 2/2 square at the centre has now become an image of a diagonal square rather than a vertical and horizontal one. Enjoy your thinking. X
