Directions & Tonkou
Tonkou (The Magic Square)
(Tonkou)The systematic movement of the Nine Stars across the 3x3 grid, governing the flow of time and energy.
Tonkou refers to the complex mathematical formula by which the Nine Stars 'fly' or move across the nine grid spaces (the Lo Shu Square).
This movement happens continuously on a yearly, monthly, daily, and even hourly basis. By tracking this movement, astrologers can pinpoint exactly where a specific star is located at any given moment.
When your Principal Star moves into the center of the grid, it indicates a year of massive, unavoidable change (the 'Happou Fusagari' or blocked year). Understanding Tonkou allows you to forecast your exact personal biorhythms and time your major life decisions flawlessly.
