Nine Star Ki is an ancient Oriental form of Astrology. It is not to be compared with Western Astrology because its approach and application are very different. It is much more mathematical in formula and scientific in approach.
Nine Star Ki was originally studied and applied by the Taoist through their observations and understanding of the Northern Sky; in particular Polaris, the Big Dipper and Vega constellations. The Taoist studied not only the changing sky but also the changing seasons and peoples response to the cosmic shifts. Through their intuitive and precise observations the Taoist system of "time" and the 9 expressions arose.
The Nine Star Ki is not only a science of the Taoism healing system, but also one that can be applied to any belief system. My experience with the Nine Star Ki leads me to believe that its roots are not in any religion. It can be applied to all people, religions and medical school of practice in order to better understand and connect an individual - body, mind, heart and spirit. As well as, creating an understanding of how the environment and shifting seasons play a part in one's health and wellbeing.
