Yang Direction
For movement in the Yang Direction, the numbers will be filled in in increasing order. In other words, if a number is n, then the next number will be n+1, except when n=9. If n=9, then the next number will be 1, followed by 2, 3,... that is:
8 4 6 7 9 2 3 5 1
[Row 2, Column 2] = 9
[Row 3, Column 3] = 1
[Row 2, Column 3] = 2
[Row 3, Column 1] = 3
[Row 1, Column 2] = 4
[Row 3, Column 2] = 5
[Row 1, Column 3] = 6
[Row 2, Column 1] = 7
[Row 1, Column 1] = 8
The following table depicts the above Yang movement in the classical format, where "E" represents the Earth Base:
