My Adult Natal Number
Each KI number consists of three (3) digits. The Adult Natal Number/energy relates to your Principal Nature in KI Astrology.
This number is ascribed to a person´s year of birth and has to do with your true potentials. The natal year is all about self actualization.
It gives you answers to questions like:
WHO AM I?
WHAT ARE MY TALENTS & QUALITIES ?
WHAT MAKES ME UNIQUE?
As you become an individual in your own right, the qualities of the Natal year are suppose to become more and more apparent in your physical expression, attitudes and actions.
As we are all somehow configured by conditional patterns and ways of educational behavior from childhood you may imagine that it is not something one just falls into easily.
Often these patterns prevail very much present and your principal nature, your natal year potentials remain dormant.
Personal commitment to openness and growth, allowing the change, the transition to happen is needed to overcome challenges in life as well as the paradoxes in personality & conflicts .

How to determine?
Please bear in mind that the year is based on the Chinese lunar calendar. This means that the year begins roughly on 4 February.
Thus if you are born between 1 January and 3 February use the preceding year as the way to find you associated Adult Natal year.
Formula:
To get your „Natal“ – Number for the year of 1947 for example, take all four digits ( 1,9,4,7) and add them together:
1 +9 + 4 +7 = 21
Now take the number 21 and add its two digits together in order to reduce it to a single digit:
2 + 1 = 3
This 3 is then subtracted from the number 11:
11 – 3 = 8
This 8 is the „Adult Natal Year“- Number for the year 1947.
Another example:
1+9+8+0 = 18
1+8 = 9
11-9 = 2
Thus 2 is the Nine Star Ki number for 1980.
Let´s resume again:
- Add all the digits of the year to get a single number.
- If the number derived has one digit, leave it as it is. If it has two digits, add these two together to reduce to a single digit number.
- Subtract the number derived from 11.
- The number derived at this point is your Nine Star Ki year or adult natal number.
5 Elements & 9 principal energies
Once you have determined your Adult Natal Number let´s have a look on the basic characteristics of the nine principal energies and their qualities which are described by the elements or transformations they belong to:
There are 5 Transformations or elements and 9 principal energies associated:
- Fire – 9
- Soil – 2,5,8
- Metal – 6,7
- Water – 1
- Tree – 3, 4
Basic characteristics
Fire / number 9: This stage is best expresses full flowering of energy. Its nature is upward and outward. Fire expression is connected with our fame and outward appearance. It represents midday, summer and heat. Individuals with strong fire presence tend to be sociable, expressive, warm and passionate.
Soil /number 2, 5, 8: This stage represents the result of fire´s presence. The creation of ashes, compost and soil. Its nature is ore downward and grounding. Soil represents the energy of the afternoon and late summer and is associated with damp or humid weather. Individuals who have soil in their charts tend to be grounded, earthy, practical and like soil or compost capable of nurturing an supporting others.
Metal / number 6&7: This stage is a further consolidation of the soil element. Given time and pressure, soil transforms itself into rock and mineral. Its nature is therefore condensing, inward and consolidating. This is the energy of the evening and autumn, a time when we are more at home or begin to gather in the fruits of labor. The climate associated with this stage is dry. People who have strong metal presence in their chart tend to be clear and decisive, to pay attention to detail and tend to have a sense of natural authority.
Water/ number 1: If minerals and rocks were put under even more intense pressure they would eventually melt. Although we call this stage „water“ it could equally be seen as just fluid. This is the stage in the cycle when energy is floating and appears dormant, just as we are at night and the natural world appears in winter. People who have water in their chart tend to have a quieter, hidden expression that is deep and reflective.
Tree/ number 3, 4: Water´s nature naturally fuels the growth of plants, hence Tree in the Cycle. Its nature is associated with the upward movement of energy as well as birth and the beginning of a new cycle. It is associated with the dawn, spring and windy or changeable weather. People with tree energy in their nature tend to have plenty of ideas, energy and enthusiasm, but may lack the ability to complete their tasks.
