The story goes that 4,000 years ago, the Lo River in China flooded and swamped its people causing them to plead to the river god for help. It’s said that a turtle surfaced on the river and people saw a grid of nine squares on its shell. According to the story, each square had dots adding up to numbers, all equaling 15.
The diagram was called “Lo Shu”, which now refers to the Lo Shu grid used in Chinese numerology. It’s said that the turtle gave the Chinese people the Lo Shu grid which is said to represent the natural flow of chi and the elements. Therefore, it’s used as a way to interpret the energies present in your life through the lens of Numerology.
