Missing Number 2 in Lo Shu Grid: Meaning, Effects and Remedies

About 1 in 3 Lo Shu Grids have no number 2 (across every date of birth from 1950 to 2009). It is a missing number only for people born before 2000: anyone born from 2000 onwards has a 2 in the year.

Number 2 belongs to the Moon, the planet of the mind and emotions. When it is missing, traditional numerology reads it as needing more conscious effort with patience, intuition and close relationships.

Effects of missing number 2

Numerologists commonly describe these tendencies when 2 is missing:

• Less patience. Wanting results quickly and finding it hard to wait.
• Weaker intuition. Not listening to the inner voice, and learning through mistakes instead.
• Less sensitivity to others. Not always noticing how other people feel, which can hurt close relationships.
• Relationships and marriage. Delays or friction in marriage and family ties are a common traditional reading.
• Admitting mistakes. Finding it hard to accept a mistake or say sorry.
• Unfinished tasks. Starting things with enthusiasm and leaving them halfway.

These are tendencies, not certainties. Other numbers in your grid, your Driver Number and your own choices shape how they show up.

Traditional health associations

The Moon is traditionally linked to the mind, sleep and the body’s fluids, and some numerologists connect a missing 2 with stress and mood swings.

Remedies for missing number 2 in Lo Shu Grid

Pick two or three remedies that suit you and follow them regularly; you do not need all of them.

Everyday habits

• Finish what you start. Traditional numerology compares an unfinished task to an eclipse of the Moon.
• Practise patience: pause before reacting, and listen fully before you reply.
• Meditate for a few minutes daily, ideally at the same time.
• Spend time with your mother and maternal relatives, and take their blessings.
• Do not waste water: fix leaking taps and do not let water stagnate at home.

Home and direction

• Number 2 belongs to the South-West. Keep that part of your home clean and uncluttered.
• Hang a picture of mountains without water on the South-West wall.

Colour, metal and what to wear

• Drink water from a silver glass.
• Wear a silver chain, a pearl string or a crystal bracelet.
• Wear white on Mondays.

Mantra and worship

• On Mondays, offer water or milk mixed with water on a Shivling.
• Chant the Moon mantra quietly for at least 10 minutes: ॐ सों सोमाय नमः (Om Som Somaya Namah).

Charity

• On Mondays, donate white things such as rice, sugar or milk to someone in need.

The thread in the wallet

On a Monday morning after bathing, take a white thread the length of your wrist, have your mother touch it as a blessing, and keep it in your wallet.

How to follow the remedies

• Start small. One daily habit and one weekly remedy, kept up for at least 40 days, is better than many remedies done once.
• Stay practical. Patience, finishing tasks and listening work directly on the traits a missing 2 describes.
• Gemstones only after a consultation. Pearl is linked with the Moon, but gemstones are not suggested without a full reading.

Missing 2 with other numbers

• 2, 5 and 8 missing: the 2-5-8 diagonal, often called the property plane, is empty. Numerologists read this as needing extra effort with property and long-term assets.
• 2, 7 and 6 missing: the action plane (2-7-6) is empty, read as finding it harder to turn plans into action.
• 2 and 6 missing together: both relationship numbers are absent, so remedies for both are often suggested together.
