This week, we continue our discussion of the nine ki numbers. We’ll start with number 5 which denotes earth.

Number 5: The ki energy of number 5 belongs to the earth. It is the most powerful of all energies. Since it is located in the centre of the magic square, all ki energies pass through it to reach each other. This number has the power to influence and control the surrounding ki energies.

An individual having ki number 5 is very powerful and often in the centre of activities and attention. Such people interact well and have no problem in understanding others who have other ki energies. They can easily convince others, though at times they can be aggressive and argumentative. Since they win easily, they make their opponents uncomfortable.

Though they love to be stable, these people undergo many changes in their lives. They make good politicians and spiritual leaders and are often surrounded by people.

These people often go through a phase of life when nothing much happens and makes them feel stagnant and isolated. They should be careful about their weaknesses and not take their friends for granted. Number 5 is also related to soil, which is an element of stability. Career-wise, they become politicians, members of religious orders, farmers, builders, architects and construction workers.

Number 6: This number is related to the heaven ki energy in the north-west direction. People with this key number are wise and well-organised. Metal is their element, which makes them solid, strong, stable, responsible and dependable. They are able to achieve high levels of self-discipline and have good control over themselves. If they are provoked, they are deeply offended. They are honest and loyal. Being blessed with metal energy, they value material wealth and feel insecure if they are not provided with financial security.

People with this number are futuristic and work methodically for long-term goals. If they meet hardships and difficulties, they easily overcome them with hard work and dedication. Since heaven is their symbol, they are intuitive, spiritually inclined and at the same time have dignified and respectable personalities. They make good teachers, healers, excellent managers, consultants, administrators and engineers, as they are blessed with leadership qualities.

Number 7: According to Feng Shui number 7 represents creative energy of the western direction. People possessing this ki number represent metal, and are very creative and imaginative.

Their sole aim is to enjoy the pleasures of life. When they feel low, they need immediate motivation. If they do not have enough money, they always find some way to earn it.

They are materialistic people and strive for comforts in life. Being a metallic person, they get easily attracted to material things like precious metals and jewels. People of ki number 7 are stylish and appreciate beauty. They suffer from mood swings and become aggressive when upset.

They are extremely charming and successful people. By nature they are playful and full of energy.

They are blessed with light-hearted ki energy. They do well in careers that are related to counselling, banking, accounting, stock-broking, entertainment and jewellery business.

Number 8: North-east is the direction that relates to the earth energy of number 8. People possessing this energy are blessed with deep inner knowledge, which makes them intuitive. They have qualities which enable them to make hasty decisions and grab opportunities before others can react to them. They are always striving for new openings and are self-motivated. They are hard-working and once they take up an assignment, they make all efforts to complete it, often leading to overwork.

Being associated with the soil, they can be compared to a seed that takes time to grow, spreading its root firmly. Similarly, people of ki number 8 have a fighting spirit and establish themselves through strong will and motivation. They are outgoing, social and in extreme cases, greedy and calculative. Faced with difficulties they do not try to solve problems but try to change the situation.

People of ki number 8 seem stern and hard outwardly but are actually soft, and give in easily. They are playful and can charm others. As a result, they are easily spoilt. They have good prospects as financial market traders, property developers, professional sportspersons, traders, businessmen, public speakers and actors.

Number 9: South is the direction that relates to number 9. People with number 9 as their ki number have the energy of fire. They are sociable, expressive, witty and emotional.

Their bright, fiery characteristic makes them public figures. Blessed with a sharp wit, they react to ideas promptly, intelligently and impress others easily. People of ki number 9 become successful at middle age. They are recognised for their work and become famous in their chosen career.

They concentrate on work that makes them feel good but find it difficult to continue if they do not feel satisfied emotionally.

Their energy also fluctuates like fire that at times burns fiercely when ignited, but dampens when cooled.

Similarly, when they are influenced by the right people, their energies increase, but in the company of the wrong persons, their energies dwindle. They lose their tempers quickly, which leads to occasional outbursts.

They often worry unnecessarily about trivial matters. Being social and outgoing, they are good at public relations, and make successful salespersons and actors.

They have lucrative careers as lawyers, salespersons, advertising executives, fashion designers, public speakers, comedians, actors and are good hosts of social events.
