Natal Trigram

Natal Trigram (skyes spar)

• To calculate the natal trigram (skye spar) which is associated with the mother's luck element, subtract the age of the child from that of the mother, and add one to the remainder. Then, starting from Kham, count anticlockwise through to the current trigram of the mother corresponding to that number, and it will be identical to the child's natal trigram. On this calculation, see Part II, pp. 000-000. In Part IV, pp. 000-000 specific readings are given for each of the eight natal trigrams in the context of natal horoscope, while Part V, pp. 000-000 outlines the importance of the natal trigram for marital compatibility, and Part VI, pp. 000-000, refers to the impact of the natal trigram in the divination of obstacle years.
