Best of I-Ching numerology theory

In the context of I-Ching and numerology, selecting the "best" eight-number formation for a person can be subjective and depends on the individual's goals, desires, and the aspect of life they wish to focus on (e.g., career, health, relationships). However, one common method to find auspicious numbers involves using hexagrams that are considered particularly favorable.

### Auspicious Hexagrams

In I-Ching, certain hexagrams are often regarded as particularly favorable or auspicious. These hexagrams include:

- Hexagram 1 (Qián - The Creative)

- Hexagram 2 (Kūn - The Receptive)

- Hexagram 11 (Tài - Peace)

- Hexagram 14 (Dà Yǒu - Possession in Great Measure)

- Hexagram 25 (Wú Wàng - Innocence)

- Hexagram 26 (Dà Chù - The Taming Power of the Great)

- Hexagram 42 (Yì - Increase)

- Hexagram 58 (Duì - The Joyous)

These hexagrams symbolize creativity, receptivity, peace, abundance, innocence, strength, increase, and joy, respectively.

### Generating an Eight-Number Formation

To create an eight-number formation that reflects these auspicious hexagrams, we can combine the corresponding numbers of these hexagrams. Here’s one possible formation:

1. **1 (Qián - The Creative)**

2. **2 (Kūn - The Receptive)**

3. **11 (Tài - Peace)**

4. **14 (Dà Yǒu - Possession in Great Measure)**

5. **25 (Wú Wàng - Innocence)**

6. **26 (Dà Chù - The Taming Power of the Great)**

7. **42 (Yì - Increase)**

8. **58 (Duì - The Joyous)**

Since we need exactly eight single-digit numbers, we can break down the double-digit hexagram numbers:

1. 1

2. 2

3. 1 (from 11)

4. 1 (from 11)

5. 1 (from 14)

6. 4 (from 14)

7. 2 (from 25)

8. 5 (from 25)

Another approach is to use each digit from the hexagram numbers directly:

1. 1 (from 1)

2. 2 (from 2)

3. 1 (from 11)

4. 1 (from 11)

5. 1 (from 14)

6. 4 (from 14)

7. 2 (from 25)

8. 5 (from 25)

Thus, the eight-number formation could be **1, 2, 1, 1, 1, 4, 2, 5**. This set of numbers collectively embodies the essence of some of the most auspicious hexagrams in the I-Ching, potentially bringing about creativity, receptivity, peace, abundance, innocence, strength, increase, and joy.

### Consideration for Personalization

While the above numbers are derived from generally auspicious hexagrams, personal factors such as one's birth date, life goals, and current circumstances should ideally be considered. Consulting with an I-Ching expert or numerologist can help tailor a formation more specifically suited to an individual's unique situation.
