Ki System

Natal Year number: 6
With a strong sense of responsibility for his family and close friends, Samuel has a tendency to blame himself if anything should go wrong, even if it is clearly not his fault. He will work long and hard - perhaps too hard for his own good - and unless he is careful his life may lack the fun, humour and social activity that would force him to be more outward looking. This in turn makes him careful with money in the sense that he will apply funds only to those things that are of the utmost importance to him. He holds strong views from which he will not easily be moved.

Natal Month number: 5
A realist who brings a practical approach to problem solving, Samuel's confident outlook will soon lead him to a position of leadership. Because he has developed fixed views on the important things of life, Samuel has an inner core of confidence that will at times make him appear stubborn. Yet such a trait is so well balanced with the gentle side of his nature, that his personality appeals to a wide audience.

Natal House number: 6
With an analytical brain, and holding strong views, Samuel may appear to be somewhat stubborn. He is likely to have a particular interest in technological matters, and will work long and hard to master the skills needed to put that technology to good use. Family-orientated and good with money, he will work best with a small circle of like-minded colleagues.

Comments based on Western Grid

1

Although Samuel may be reasonably talkative in public, he finds it difficult to express personal feelings to those closest to him. In employment terms, this inhibition is of little consequence.

22

Highly intelligent and acutely sensitive, Samuel is a good judge of other people's motives and character. He enjoys high intelligence, and with a number 7 (in the Western Grid) he would be suited to a vocation in the priesthood. Sensitive to the needs of others, Samuel should be employed to the benefit of those who lack the advantages enjoyed by others.

5

Well-balanced, with an understanding and compassionate nature, Samuel is a natural leader who can inspire others. But he needs a certain amount of freedom at work and at home. With a compassionate and caring nature, and with the ability to get on well with others, Samuel will be a strong member of any team and will provide solid inspiration and support to his colleagues.

7

Samuel will find life's lessons hard to learn. He will suffer from loss (of possessions or those he loves) before questioning the cause of that loss. It is likely that Samuel will develop a faith of some sort, and although it need not necessarily be a religious faith, it will nevertheless be something that he holds onto against all the evidence. Potential employers need to find out what that faith entails.

8

Good with details and with a methodical approach, Samuel nevertheless is someone who enjoys constant new challenges to maintain his interest. He is a methodical individual with attention to detail, but is inclined to leave tasks unfinished if his active mind alights on something of greater interest. Routine tasks that fail to challenge his intellect are at greatest risk, so Samuel needs a job that offers variety.

9

Ambitious to improve his lot, Samuel will constantly push forward to achieve something in his life, yet this ambition will be balanced by humanitarian ideals that will lead him to support causes that may demand self-sacrifice.
[The Arrow of Activity: the numbers 7, 8 and 9] Enjoying the outdoors, Samuel is someone who will perform best by being busy. He dislikes confined spaces, and needs both physical and mental exercise. A good walk in fresh air is an intellectual catalyst like no other to Samuel, whose need to be constantly occupied is an asset to any employer.
[The Arrow of Determination: the numbers 1, 5 and 9] Determined and persistent, Samuel has the patience to wait until he has achieved his goal. He enjoys a progressive and enterpreneurial approach, and as such, will be an asset to any employer. If the number 4 (in the Western Grid) is missing, he will be inclined to lose his temper on occasions.
[The Arrow of Emotional Balance: the numbers 2, 5 and 8] Understanding and compassionate, Samuel is well-balanced. He possesses sound leadership qualities that are of use in a wide variety of jobs. With an understanding and compassionate nature, Samuel can appreciate the views of others, and thus gain the respect of the community in which he lives or works.

Comments based on Chinese Grid

11

Samuel will be reasonably successful in financial terms, and enjoy a degree of luck.

5

Emotionally well-balanced, Samuel is not too intense, and will reach the right decisions. However, with the numbers 2 and 3 in the Chinese version, the balance may be upset.

88

Samuel has sound business acumen with an analytical brain, and the capacity to seize the opportunity when it appears.

9

Although Samuel is ambitious, his ambition is tempered with humanitarian ideals.
[The Arrow of Willpower: The numbers 1, 5 and 9] Samuel is somewhat stubborn and very determined. Holding strong opinions that he will voice without reservation, he will nevertheless reach his goals through persistent hard work.
[The Arrow of Apathy: Lacking the numbers 2, 6 and 7] Samuel lacks the will to succeed. Somewhat indecisive, he will miss opportunities and avoid risk. Samuel needs to recognise that life's chances must be grasped with both hands when the opportunity arises.
