Nine Star Ki Cibes to Crucifix

 Try to imagine each number of nine star ki as a cube that is part of 6 cubes that make up all six sides of o box. When the box is opened out we have a crucifix. 

The first image shows the crucifix’s or cubes for a chart based on having number 5 at its centre….


So we have 4, 9 and 2 across the top, 3, 5 and 7 across the centre line and 8, 1 and 6 across the bottom. Imagine the centre of each of these crucifixes has a nine number mix for nine star ki……..in the same way the colours of the cross denote those numbers. 

The centre image shows the colours of the numbers as they meet up in the crucifix a yellow line for example connects the number 2’s, red number 7 etc.,

No matter which cross you go to and match up the numbers you will always get the same pattern of lines they will just change colour. Its easier to denote what numbers go where once you realise no matter the number its position in the cross is what matters most. 


Each nine star ki cube has a number position which connects…….so no matter what number is in say the North it will repeat in the East and those in the East will connect with the North. The same rules apply with West to South and South to West. The directions show the partnerships no matter what number is at the centre it makes it much easier to fill in the missing numbers of a full crucifix. 



So now that you know how to fill in the gaps see how long it takes you to fill in this puzzle. Enjoy your thinking. X 





Nine Star Ki Patterns for Odd and Even Numbers




 Here we have a nine star ki 9 x 9 pattern for the Number 1 at the centre. The Pink areas contain all the odd numbers …the 9 dots around the centre are for the Number 1…number 3 is a green cross…5 is a gold star…7 is a red heart…9 is a lilac cross. All even numbers are ignored as this is based on an odd number at the centre. Within the pattern we can create 3 crosses two vertical and one horizontal. The pink odd numbers areas does not create any crucifixes. 


This is for the number 2 at the centre. The White areas denote the odd number 1,3,5,7,9 ad the yellow denote the even numbers. The nine dots around the centre are the number 2…4 is a tree…6 is a spiral…8 is the Infinity symbol. This pattern gives us a vertical upward crucifix, a vertical downward crucifix and one horizontal crucifix. 

This is for the number 4 just odd numbers denote 2 as a square…4 as a tree…6 as a spiral…8 as the infinity code…with just one small crux style cross no crucifix here. 

This gives you a few examples of how you can play about with nine star ki to create art. Enjoy your thinking x
