    The 9 Houses of I Ching Astrology

    I Ching Astrology not only looks at your own horoscope, in terms of the
    Stars and Elements and Trigrams that form your special profile, but also
    looks into which position your Star rotates to within a nine-year, nine-month
    and even nine-day, cycle.

    This pattern of 9 can be seen below in the Lo Shu Square diagram.

    Legend has it that a Chinese sage contemplating the meaning of life noticed
    a turtle emerge from the River Lo, with these numbers depicted as dots
    within each section of the shell on its back.  Later, given the name of The
    Magic Square – because every which way you add up the rows of numbers,
    they come to 15.  This pattern in early Chinese civilization was seen as how
    elements moved through time.  It’s important to note that south (Fire) is
    depicted at the top with the 9 position, whereas north (1) is positioned at
    the lower part of the square, east with the three dots on the left-hand side,
    and 7 from the west on the right-hand side. 
    The inter-cardinal directions of south-east (4), north-west (6), south-west
    (2) and the north-east (8), can all be seen ‘flying’ around the central T’ai Chi
    position of the 5 Star.
    In Feng Shui this pattern is often known as the Bagua, which literally means
    the 8 Trigrams. 
    Do remember that the 8 Trigrams are all positioned in the outer part of this
    Magic Square, whereas the 5 T’ai Chi Star in the centre is simply the axis
    around which all the other Trigrams and Stars rotate.
    Each section of the Square is known either as a House or a Palace.  The
    pattern by which the Stars rotate or ‘fly’ forms the basis not only of I Ching
    Astrology, but also the Flying Stars used in Feng Shui, for looking at how
    energy patterns move within properties over 20-year cycles.

    Your Birth Star will also rotate through these different Palaces year by year
    and month by month, by knowing which Palace you ‘borrow’ it can help a lot
    in terms of making decisions and forward planning.
    The summary of these 9 positions is as follows:

    1 Water House (Planning)


    2 Earth House (Germination)
    3 Thunder House (Sprouting)
    4 Wind House (Rapid Growth)
    5 T’ai Chi House (Rebirth and Change)
    6 Heaven House (Prosperity and Harvest)
    7 Lake House (Celebration and Joy)
    8 Mountain House (Stillness and Contemplation)
    9 Fire House (Fame and Recognition)

    For example, if you discover that by the year you are borrowing the 6
    Heaven House, remember that prosperity and harvest means that there is
    the possibility that you will reap what you have been sewing in recent
    years.  On top of that, remember that the 6 Heaven Star belongs to the
    Father in I Ching.  Therefore, while you pass through the Father’s House,
    you’re likely to take on his chi or energy.  This means that you’re likely to be
    taken seriously, that you may become very moral, very focused, or even
    become a natural leader within your particular sphere.  This often accounts
    for why even a youngster within a family can suddenly become the boss by
    the year or the month or even the day!
