Lo Shu Grid Calculations
Let us say the date of birth of a person is August 16, 1979.
Driver Number is obtained by reducing the birthday to a single Digit.
In this case, Day of Birth = 16 = 1+6 = 7. Driver Number is 7.
Conductor Number: Add all the digits in the date of birth and reduce it to a single number.
In this specific instance, it is D+D+M+M+Y+Y+Y+Y.
It is 1+6+0+8+1+9+7+9 = 41 = 4+1 = 5. The conductor Number is 5.
Hence, the Numbers present in the Grid are 1,1, 5, 6, 7,7, 8, 9,9.
The Missing Numbers are 2, 3, 4.
Number 0 is not considered.
Now, assign the numbers to the right places in the Lo Shu Grid.
