Lo Shu Grid Planes: The Complete Guide (Simple, Practical & No-Fear)

What are “planes” in the Lo Shu Grid?

A plane is a straight line of three cells in the 3×3 Lo Shu grid. Your date-of-birth digits fill the grid (4-9-2 / 3-5-7 / 8-1-6). When all three positions in a line hold at least one of their numbers, that plane is present. If one or more positions are empty, the plane is weak for you. If the line is full and one digit repeats many times, the plane can be over-expressed and needs balancing.

Different traditions name planes differently. We use the following practical mapping so you can take action quickly:

• Mental / Intellect Plane (4-9-2): planning, logic, strategy.
• Spiritual / Inner Work Plane (3-5-7): meaning, reflection, purpose.
• Physical Energy Plane (8-1-6): stamina, rhythms, execution.
• Stability / Habits Plane (4-3-8): routines, self-management.
• Willpower / Expression Plane (1-5-9): drive, leadership, voice.
• Emotional / Sensitivity Plane (2-5-8): empathy, bonding, regulation.
• Intuition / Perception Plane (2-7-6): pattern-sensing, wise timing.
• Practical / Doer Plane (4-5-6): systems, process, getting things done.

Tip: You don’t need to memorize labels. Simply check whether your chosen line is present, weak, or over-expressed and then run the right remedy stack.

How to check if a plane is present

1. Write your date as digits (DD/MM/YYYY).
2. Place digits in the Lo Shu layout: top row 4-9-2, middle row 3-5-7, bottom row 8-1-6.
3. For the plane you’re checking, confirm each of its three cells has at least one matching digit.
4. Note if any digit repeats 3× or more—it may make the plane “too loud.”
