The Birth Chart and the 8 Arrows

Reading the Pythagorean 3×3 grid: which numbers you have, which are missing, and the Arrows of Pythagoras.

6 min read · Phuong Guru

01The 3×3 grid

Your Birth Chart is a 3×3 grid holding the numbers 1 to 9. The left column is 1-2-3, the middle column 4-5-6 and the right column 7-8-9, with the smaller numbers at the bottom. Each digit in your date of birth goes into its own box; zero has no box.

Example: 15 August 1994

  1. The digits of 15 · 08 · 1994: 1, 5, 0, 8, 1, 9, 9, 4
  2. Box 1: twice · Boxes 4, 5, 8: once each · Box 9: twice
  3. Empty boxes: 2, 3, 6, 7

= A box with several digits shows plenty of that energy; an empty box is a lesson to build on

02The three levels of the chart

RowNumbersWhat it points to
Mind (top)3 · 6 · 9Thinking, memory, imagination
Soul (middle)2 · 5 · 8Feelings, intuition, inner balance
Physical (bottom)1 · 4 · 7Action, the body, hands-on experience

03The 8 Arrows

When three boxes in a straight line all have numbers, you have a full arrow, a line of strength. When all three are empty, it's an empty arrow: an area to pay attention to and practice. The names below are the ones used in your report.

Did you know?
