Bazi of DSK - Completing the picture

.
I know many bazi enthusiasts have been discussing intensely over DSK and I am also flattered to know that my recent blog post on him has triggered some debates in the forums. That is a humbling experience for me. Unfortunately, I did not sign up the forum earlier and could not share some of my views - which would otherwise help me to complete the picture of my analysis. But luckily, I have the chance to read some good arguments and valid points put forward by some bazi practitioners in the forum (I did not contribute anything so I am not able to see too many things).
.
In my journey of bazi, I have learnt from several bazi masters and I have realised that almost all of them have different school of thoughts. Each has its own system and level of accuracy on certain aspects of analysing bazi. I have experienced shen sha system, pictorial system, zi ping system, divinative bazi system and etc. You then judge for yourself, through many many bazi analyses and research, which methodology gives you the highest level of confidence. I am lucky I have found something I am very comfortable with.
.
One of you asked me if he can fit into Wealth creates Sha category. My answer is yes you can use the Xin Si hour pillar - as long as the heavenly stem (in my opinion) is not water. But for me, I choose to have fire revealed based on certain experience. I just hope DSK can come to my dream later and tell me. But I learned from my french friend that they do not have the hour on their birth certificate. They got to ask their parents - provided they can remember :)
.
If water reveals, then DSK will become 财多身子弱. And he cannot then be so rich. Then water element will be his favourable element which to me does not make sense for him to have suffered such ill fate this time. The effect of fan yin will also be reduced. Shouldn't favourable water resource star bring him more luck? Again, the principles are based on what I have inherited from my teacher and my experience with such bazi.
.
In the bazi system I use, I have never neglected Luck cycle. This time round DSK has. like one of you also rightly pointed out, 破格 as water is negative god for a follower chart. Plus, his self element is rooted too this year. The last water cycle was not so bad because Gui water was combined ("hamstrung") by the Wu earth and hence its effectiveness is reduced.
.
"Follow the wealth Daymaster" to me is not a formation like Eating God Controls 7 Killing. It is a category of where your strength of the bazi fits into. Either your bazi is weak, strong, vibrant or follower. Of course to complicate matters a bit, you have fake vibrant and fake follower charts too.
.
The luck cycle of DSK since young is very good as all his positive elements revealed on heavenly stems. Some practitioners look at earthly branches only but I focus on stems on my reading. This is probably why some students feedback "new school of thoughts". I do not think it is new as the principles I followed are from classics. It is probably a different perspective.
.
I look forward to exchanging more tips with you in the future.

Bazi of Dominique Strauss-Kahn

.

This is the bazi of Dominique Strauss-Kahn (aka DSK). A french man who was heading the IMF till the day he was arrested for sexually assualting a hotel chamber maid on 14 May 2011.

An economic professor and lawyer by training, DSK has held positions as Minister in the government throughout his illustrious career path. He is also closely watched as one of the potential presidential candidate for France 2012 election.

In my opinion and from my experience, this is a bazi that belongs to the special category of Follower chart. Specifically, this is a "follow the wealth" structure and the fire element is the Useful god or yong shen for him.

What I would like you to pay a bit more attention to is that this year, his day pillar is having a Fan Yin relationship with the annual luck pillar Xin Mao. Fan Yin or some called it inverse siren implies an event that will cause great emotional upset to the person. In terms of 5 elements relationship, there are clashes between the heavenly stems and earthly branches. This is also known as a betrayal clash.

Fan Yin, is, in my own opinion, in a way more controllable than Fu Yin. You can actually see it coming. If you want, you can prevent it.

The 10-God involves basically DSK's 7 Killing star and Friend star. As he is going through his negative resource luck cycle, 7 Killing star turns from positive to negative. In terms of 10-God attributes, this refers to people who dislike him, drop in reputation, legal suit and lost of self control.

Why does it only happen this year? My answer is because there is a fan yin which triggers it.

Bazi Practical Workshop on 14 & 15 May 2011

It was such a wonderful moment getting to know bazi enthusiasts coming from different schools sharing their experience and asking very valid questions.
.

Besides the .real life cases that I have prepared, participants were also eager to share interesting bazi charts belonging to monk, lady who cannot conceive, fake follower and etc for discussion to see what are the tell-tale signs.
.

Although the topic of useful god or yong shen and how to grade the quality of it is meant for professional level, I have decided to talk about it so that participants can appreciate the meaning. I have also introduced some major bazi formations mentioned in bazi classics such as 食神制杀 (Eating God controls 7 Killing) and 伤官佩印 (Hurting Officer accompanies Resource) hoping to trigger students' interest to read up more on chinese classic.

.

Do you have the elements or stars in your bazi to study feng shui and bazi? Check out Taiji Gui Ren star and Tian Yi star in your bazi. Don't have? No worries. You still can do very well if either one of your 2 thinking 10-God is present and is prominent.

Understand the Implication of Fan Yin and Fu Yin

.
Do you want to fill up the blanks in this page?



There is a saying in Chinese bazi classic that if you encounter Fan Yin or Fu Yin in your bazi, you will experience a crying event.
.
Some people translate this to Siren and Inverse Siren. For example, if you are Xin Mao daymaster, this year you will experience crying event because 2011's annual luck pillar is Xin Mao. On the other hand, if you are Ding You daymaster or Yi You daymaster, it will be a year of fan yin.
.
Is it true that you will always experience sad event? When can it be a double happiness? What happens if the annual fan yin and fu yin is on your other bazi pillars besides your day pillar? What about internal fan yin and fu yin in your bazi? What do all these implies?
.
