THE MODERN DRAGON FENG SHUI

Discovering and understanding your personal Trigram reveals valuable insights into your unique energy and how it influences a human's character, strengths, and challenges. 

Instructions

To calculate your trigram, please follow the instructions for your gender, as the ancient calculations are different accordingly. If you do not identify with your birth gender, calculate both and decide which one you resonate with the most. 

Male Trigram Calculation

1. Add ALL of the digits of the birth year (the year only, not the day or month) until it reduces to a single-digit number

2. Subtract (1) from the birth year if born between January 1st and February 4th or 5th

3. Subtract this single number from (11); the result is your personal trigram number

4. If the result is (5), the trigram becomes (2) since there is no (5) trigram.

Female Trigram Calculation

1. Add ALL of the digits of the birth year until it reduces to a single-digit number

2. Subtract (1) from the birth year if born between January 1st and February 4th and 5th

3. Add (4) to this single-digit number; the result is your personal trigram number

4. If the result is (5), the trigram becomes (8) since there is no (5) trigram.

Discovering your Trigram empowers you to make choices that nourish and support your energy while avoiding colours that deplete it. For example, consider painting the front door in a feeding colour that enhances the energy of the primary breadwinner, selecting a purse or wallet in your elemental colour, or choosing a car in a feeding or elemental shade to align with and sustain your energy.
