What is the Lo Shu grid?

A 3×3 magic square where every row, column and diagonal sums to 15. In numerology the digits of your birth date are placed onto it, and the pattern of repeats and gaps is read.

What do missing numbers mean?

Traditionally an area to develop rather than a flaw. Almost every date is missing several - a full grid is rare.

Why are zeros ignored?

The square has cells for 1 to 9 only, so a zero in the date has nowhere to go.
