The octanalysis method revealed the effect of congenital dominance of personality instances (Fu Xi trigrams) [4], which depends on the date of birth of a person and manifests itself to the same extent throughout a person’s life.

An analysis of people’s behavior shows that the congenital dominants of the personality (congenital dominant trigrams) most often dominate in the human psyche in the process of his activity.

Octanalysis notes that a person’s personality has a five-component structure. Depending on the date of birth, two to five instances of the personality may show congenital dominance. A person perceives the congenital dominants of his personality as virtues perceives as a talent and applies them to achieve success in his activities.

People in whom only two instances of the five instances of personality show congenital dominance, have a narrow range of professions choice, and they may also have specific problems of adaptation, both social and labor. Such people need psychological support.

Octanalysis has developed an octanalytic personality formula [4], which shows which instances of the personality show congenital dominance, and also characterizes the degree of their congenital dominant activity.

The Appendix describes in detail the procedure for compiling an octanalytic personality formula by date of birth.

For example, the octanalytic personality formula for a person born on 07/2/1954,

3 lunar day / 31-Leo / 4% + / / 42-Cancer / 4-31-Horse

shows that he was born on the 3rd lunar day, the lunar zodiac sign is Leo, the percentage of illumination of the Moon in the phase “Growing Moon” is 4%, the solar zodiac sign is Cancer, the year of the Horse according to the eastern calendar.

The digits 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 in the personality formula indicate congenital dominants, respectively, instances 1-Mind/Gen, 2-Ratio/Kan, 3-Irratio/Xun, 4-Heart/Zhen, 5-Soul/Li.

The location of the digit in the personality formula (“first dominant”, “second dominant”, “background dominant”) and the repetition of this digit (for example, “four”, instance 4-Heart/Zhen, twice as the first dominant, as the second dominant and as background dominant) show the degree of congenital dominant activity of the instance.

Note that the congenital dominants of the lunar zodiac sign have a greater influence on human behavior than the congenital dominants of the solar zodiac sign.

The personality formula written above indicates the following congenital dominants of the personality and characterizes the degree of their activity:

• instance 4-Heart/Zhen (“four” as the first dominant and as background dominant);

• instance 3-Irratio/Xun (“three” twice as the first dominant);

• instance 2-Ratio/Kan (“two” as the second dominant);

• instance 1-Mind/Gen (“one” twice as the second dominant).

The octanalytic personality formula is used to analyze interpersonal communication. When studying and evaluating the psychological state of two persons who interact with each other, the octanalytic personality formulas of these persons are compared.
