Book Recommendations For Luo Shu Astrology

I have received several e-mails inquiring about the recommendation of books on Luo Shu Astrology (9 Ki). I can think of 4 that are valuable.

1. The Ki (Takashi Yoshikawa). This is the best book I've seen on personality
analysis. The second part of the book on directionology is not completely
accurate in my opinion. He uses the 60 degree segments for the
diagonal directions and 30 degrees for the cardinal points, which can create
problems. There are a few other questionable areas also. If it is character
profiles you are interested in, however, then this is a very good book.

2. The Nine Ki Handbook (Gagne and Mann). This one has been out of print
and may be difficult to find, but it does give a good basic understanding on
the subject. Be careful with the day star numbers in the book as they are
completely inaccurate. When I spoke to Mr. Gagne about it he told me that
the editors printed it completely wrong when the book went to press. When
he talked to the publishers about it, they never corrected the problem.

3. Nine Star Ki ( Michio Kushi).

4. Practical Feng Shui Astrology (Simon Browne). I believe this is the title.
At one point it carried another title.
