The 10-Second “Lo Shu’
Personality Exposer!
by Blair GormanIntroduction
Karmic Numerology is said to be one of the oldest
recorded methods of divination. It appears to have been
developed independently in Ancient China and Ancient
Greece at about the same time
Pythagoras popularized the system in Ancient Greece, and
it is sometimes called the Arrows of Pythagoras. In China,
itis called the Lo Shu Numerology
This method of Numerology is very easy to do and can be
very accurate, It allows you to build a complete picture
of a person by simply knowing their date of birth. And,
unlike Astrology, you don’t require their time of birth nor
are there are any complicated calculations to perform.
Try it!
