Wireless and Qi

This is an analogy for Qi I shared during my presentation to business people at BNI network. Hope you like it :)

Marrying a Good Wife

You have heard cases that some guys immediately become better in their career and wealth luck after they got married. You also heard gossips that some guys become rich only because of their wife.

In chinese, the term is 夫凭妻贵. This means that the men becomes more affluent or gain nobility after they marry. Most of the time, they marry a wife that comes from a wealthy family background or the wife is a successful business woman.

So, what does it say in their bazi? It is about the quality of their wealth star. There are 2 layers of analysis to look at :

1. the star residing in the spouse palace

2. the wealth (spouse) star

A few possible scenarios:

i. You can marry a rich wife (good quality wealth star) but it does not guarantee blissfulness in marriage (negative star in spouse palace).

ii. You can marry a very caring and supportive wife (good star in spouse palace) that can take care of the household and render you with emotional support although she may not be financially independent.

iii. Having a successful wife who is also a friend in need to share your woes and sorrows. She is also a loving mother to the kids. This is the ideal case when you have positive wealth star sitting in spouse palace. In ancient chinese society, I believe all mother-in-laws would want their son to marry someone like this who is 旺夫益子 (prosper the husband and benefit the children).

Take a look at Hong Kong superstar Andy Lau's bazi who is a Gui-Hai Daymaster. Many would say that Robwealth star is the worst star to be inside one's spouse palace because as the name suggests, someone will rob your wealth (wife) away one day. True only if your bazi belongs to strong chart. For his case, his wife's family belongs to one of the richest families in Malaysia. She has also always been the behind-the-scene woman, quietly supporting Andy Lau for 20 over years and yet never mind that she is not recognised publicly as the wife of the superstar.

For those of you who are blessed to have such a good wife from a bazi perspective, please continue to treasure her, love her and do not take her for granted. I heard of real life stories that there were successful businessmen who experienced a plunge in career when they become unfaithful and later on divorced by their wife. One of them becomes taxi driver as a matter of fact.

PS: I am not implying that we do not then love our wife who are less than ideal - again in bazi sense. Don't get me wrong.

Extract the Yao Change the Image 抽爻换象 - Part 2a

Based on the example in my earlier post, you can see that the sitting hexagram changes from one point to another - at least a difference of 2 mountains. Does that mean that during the implementation, the tomb sitting or house main door has to be tilted to such a manner? I think if this is the case then Chou Yao Huan Xiang might not be as beautiful as it is perceived.

There are a few layers of calculation on the hexagrams respectively for Dragon, Mountain, Facing and Water before we arrive at the sitting hexagram we want to create the result.

The sitting hexagram is the crux that we do the yao extraction to change to the image we want. The numbers within the hexagram must conform to either of the following:

1. He Tu

2. Sum of 5

3. Sum of 10

4. Sum of 15

Then steps are taken to check if the same criteria will apply to inter-hexagrams.

If everything conforms, congratulation, you have hit Yi Gua Cun Qing.

Sound too simple? It is that straight forward but the challenge here is how to get a house into such a spot.

Can this method be applied for a HDB flat? Or can you create such a formation in your bedroom or office?

I believe it can.

Excuse me, how come I am still Single?

.

This is one of the frequently asked questions - from ladies.

I do not think this is something embarrasing. Women are receiving the equal treatment as men in the society and many have proven themselves to be as capable as their male counterparts - if not, better. They are more confident to speak up, gung-ho, swift in decision making, intelligent and have been given a larger role to play in the corporate and political arena.

Many women that I know of are very driven and spend long hours on their work. They do not mind putting their career first and boyfriend/husband later. And then what happens? They either cannot find someone they feel is comptible with them or their boyfriend/hubby runs away with other girl or most of the guys at their age are all taken. I wonder why isn't there a Vietnamese groom agency around. This may solve some of these social problems right? Just kidding.

Anyway, based on the many bazi that I have read for ladies who are not able to find their Mr Right or are having marriage issue, I always find a common trait. The output star or Shang Guan is too strong in the chart. Most of the time, for ladies who face challenges in their relationship, their Daymaster is also sitting on this star.

Shang Guan, or some masters coin it Hurting Officer (HO), is a star that counters the Officer star, which is also the husband star for a lady. Bazi talks alot about balance. Any star that is overly strong in the chart will upset the whole eco system in the bazi. If Shang Guan is too prominent, then the husband star will inevitably be marginalised. In real life situation, this means that the woman has a louder voice or wear the pants at home. She is argumentative and love to challenge the hubby/boyfriend. She flares up pretty easily due to her quick temper and the words she use can be quite hurting. The above scenario is typical of a lady who has negative hurting officer structure. If you think that man has the biggest voice and ego, this is because you have not got it from a HO lady.

Shang Guan also talks about one's talent, creactivity, entrepreneurial spirit, ability to express and convince people. It is a career star. Thus, women who have more of such star in their bazi are intrinsically propelled to want to make a difference in their lifetime. They are not satisfied with status quo. In fact, many outstanding singers and stage performers are using Shang Guan. When a lady spends a huge portion of her time on career, she naturally does not have time for her man. Sometimes, she is so focus on her career that she forgets the way to the man's heart. Over a period of time, the man may get frustrated and cracks start to surface in the relationship.

Besides the presence of strong HO in the bazi, direct clash or punishment onto the spouse palace is another strong tell-tale sign of why a lady is not able to get married. A clash or sometimes a combination between spouse palace and adjacent palace is a time-bomb of divorce waiting for the annual luck pillar to trigger it.

Does this mean all HO ladies are doomed when romance is concerned? Not really. In my humble opinion, to keep your man, there are 2 possible avenues:

A) Practise self mastery to control the explosive side of you [using Resource element to control]

B) Reward them [using Wealth element to arbitrate]

Different folks different strokes. But I would always advise my clients to go for option A and adopt a "3-Less" approach - less impatient, less egoistic and less blunt.

Extract the Yao Change the Image 抽爻换象 - Part 1

.

I have been hesitating for quite a while whether I should talk about this topic in a public domain because again I might be ruffling some feathers. Many chinese books out there wrote about it but I just find that few people have contributed articles written in English to share this very advance and intriguing concept. There is this shade of mystery that I hope to unveil and discuss openly about it.

The enigma is further compounded when many people start to associate this method with Xie Zi Fa. Some masters firmly believe that this is the closely guarded secret of Xie Zi Fa. True or not? Only Zeng's son will know.

In my own humble opinion, I find that this 抽爻换象 or Chou Yao Huan Xiang secret is over-hyped. It gives an impression to many enthusiasts that this is such a powerful trick that will create prosperity overnight. No, I am NOT condemning this concept. I believe it is effective too.

I also practise and research on Xuan Kong Da Gua. So, how can I go against something that I breathe and live and see it working for me. What I am trying to say is that in the study of Xuan Kong Da Gua Feng Shui, please appreciate other sister techniques as well. If you are just focusing on this in your entire pursuit of Feng Shui, then I am afraid you are missing the big picture.

The purpose of this blog post is for me to share a bit more about the meaning of Chou Yao Huan Xiang and how it is applied. I will break this up into 2 parts so that it is more digestible.

A hexagram is made up of 2 trigrams. There are 6 lines (solid or broken) altogether and each line is also known as a Yao. Chou Yao Huan Xiang simply means you select one of the yaos (example solid line) and replace it with broken line. By doing this, the hexagram image will transform. Why do we want to do this? Basically, we want to create a very prosperous fengshui set-up or in technical term 一卦纯清格局 (One-Gua Pure Formation).

Take a look at the example below.

The dragon (龙) and water (水) position cannot be changed. So, we have to change our house or grave sitting to suit the landform. Therefore, just by extracting the 3rd yao of the sitting (山) hexagram, it gives you your desired hexagram (as shown below). The question to ask is "how do we know what is the desired hexagram?". I will talk about this later. This is normally not disclosed.

This is the first step. The reason why we want to chou yao huan xiang is to make sure yin and yang gua must make love all the time.

You will notice that there are 2 numbers in red attached to each hexagram. They play an important role in making sure we achieve the One-gua Pure Formation.
