EPISODE 105: Nine Star Ki for 2021

Every year, we talk about what you can expect from the year ahead according to your Nine Star Ki number. Nine Star Ki is a system that we use in feng shui that is also deeply connected to the I Ching and the five elements. This year’s episode is a special one, because our dear teacher and mentor Rosalie Prinzivalli is joining us to share her wisdom as well!

In this episode:

  • How to calculate your Nine Star Ki principal number (scroll down for instructions)

  • Why it’s helpful to know your number 

  • How knowing your friends’ and family members’ numbers can help you support them

  • What 2021 has in store for you based on your Nine Star Ki

  • Advice for each number to embrace this year’s energy

  • The five element relationships between different numbers

How to calculate your Nine Star Ki principal number:

As an example, if you were born in 1986:

Add: 1+9+8+6 = 24

Reduce to a single digit: 2+4 = 6

Subtract from 11: 11-6 = 5

*if you were born between January 1 and February 4, subtract from 12:  12-6 = 6

Don’t forget to listen to episode 103 to learn what 2021 has in store for your Chinese zodiac animal!

In this episode, we’re taking a moment to honor our feng shui lineage. We believe that it’s incredibly important to  honor our lineages, both our own personal cultural lineages and those of the practices we study and are drawn to. We’ve mentioned our teachers before, but inspired by the uprising against racial injustice that we’re witnessing right now, we are looking more deeply at how we are showing up in the world. While we always share our lineage with our Mindful Design students and everyone who attends our info sessions, we recognize that we can do more to honor our lineage publicly.
