The He Tu (River Map) and Luo Shu (Luo River Writing) are two of the most profound symbols in Chinese metaphysics, forming the foundation of numerology, Feng Shui, and destiny analysis. Together, they are known as the Fate Matrix, revealing the hidden order of the universe through numbers, directions, and elemental interactions.
The He Tu illustrates the cosmic balance of Yin and Yang with numbers 1–10, while the Luo Shu magic square represents harmonious energy flow and cycles of time. By studying the He Tu–Luo Shu Fate Matrix, one can uncover life patterns, destiny paths, and the influence of natural
forces on personal growth, wealth, relationships, and spiritual development. This ancient
system continues to guide practitioners in understanding destiny, making better life decisions,
and harmonizing with universal energies.

The Technique of the He Tu–Luo Shu Fate Matrix
He Tu (River Map) ● Luo Shu (Magic Square) ● Matrix Construction & Practical Use
1. Foundation – The He Tu (River Map)
The He Tu represents the cosmic order of Yin–Yang and the Five Elements (Wu Xing).
Numbers are paired in complementary opposites:
1–6 (Water)
2–7 (Fire)
3–8 (Wood)
4–9 (Metal)
5–10 (Earth)
These pairs show how energies are balanced in the Universe.
In destiny work, they are seen as root forces shaping a person’s innate energy blueprint.
2. The Luo Shu (Magic Square)
The Luo Shu is a 3×3 magic square where numbers 1 to 9 are arranged so that every row, column, and diagonal adds up to 15.

9

8

6
Each number corresponds to:
A direction (N, S, E, W)
An element (earth, water, air, …)
A life aspect (career, wealth, health, relationships, etc.)
In metaphysics, the Luo Shu shows dynamic flow and timing.
3. Matrix Construction – Merging He Tu and Luo Shu
The Fate Matrix is built by overlaying:
He Tu = static core
your innate destiny pattern (like DNA).
Luo Shu = dynamic cycles
the way your life energy shifts through time (luck cycles, opportunities, challenges).
Identify core numbers from He Tu pairs (birth info or numerological mapping).
Plot them into the Luo Shu square, matching with directions and elements.
Analyze balance and imbalance → check which elements are strong, weak, missing, or excessive.
Map life areas → each Luo Shu position corresponds to life domains (career, family, relationships, health, wealth).
Track timing → apply time cycles (annual, 9-year, or 20-year Feng Shui cycles) to see when life areas are activated or challenged.
4. Practical Use of the Matrix
Personality & Destiny: Reveals inborn traits, strengths, and challenges.
Life Path Guidance: Shows favorable directions, opportunities, and obstacles.
Timing of Events: Used to read major luck cycles and important life phases.
Feng Shui Alignment: Helps synchronize personal destiny with environmental energy.
To summarize
He Tu = the blueprint (your fixed nature, destiny code).
Luo Shu = the flow (life cycles, changes, external influences).
Matrix = the integration (how your fixed code interacts with shifting universal energies).
