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!
