Lo Shu Grid Calculator by Date of Birth
Your birth date placed on the 3×3 Lo Shu square: which numbers you have, which repeat, which are missing, and the planes they form. Worked out in your browser, nothing is saved.
How to calculate your Lo Shu grid: a worked example
Example date of birth: 14 August 1990 (14-08-1990).
- Write down every digit of the date and drop the zeros: 1, 4, 8, 1, 9, 9.
- Mulank (driver): day 14 → 1 + 4 = 5. Because the day has two digits, 5 is added to the grid.
- Bhagyank (conductor): 1+4+0+8+1+9+9+0 = 32 → 3 + 2 = 5. The conductor is always added.
- Numbers placed: 1, 1, 4, 5, 5, 8, 9, 9. Repeated: 1, 5 and 9 (twice each).
- Missing numbers: 2, 3, 6 and 7. The Will plane (9-5-1) is complete; the Action plane (2-7-6) is empty; the Metal element (6, 7) is missing.
Lo Shu grid: common questions
What is a Lo Shu grid?
It is the classical 3×3 magic square (4-9-2 / 3-5-7 / 8-1-6) where every row, column and diagonal adds up to 15. In numerology, the digits of your birth date are placed on it to show which numbers are present, repeated or missing.
How do I calculate my Lo Shu grid from my date of birth?
Take the non-zero digits of your date of birth, then add your Bhagyank (sum of the whole date reduced to one digit) and, for two-digit days, your Mulank. Place each number in its box. This calculator does it for you.
What do missing numbers in a Lo Shu grid mean?
A missing number points to a quality you may need to build consciously. The calculator lists a simple traditional remedy for every missing number.
What are the planes, Golden Yog and Silver Yog?
Planes are the rows, columns and diagonals of the grid. A full line (such as 9-5-1, the Will plane) is read as a strength. 4-5-6 is called Golden Yog and 2-5-8 Silver Yog.
Is my date of birth saved?
No. The grid is worked out in your browser and nothing is stored.
