Subtlety

What keeps me so interested in bazi is not just entirely on the predicting part but it is about learning some of the nuances.

Personality analysis based on bazi (not DISC or MBTI) is one of my favourite subjects. But you need to really have an intimate knowledge of the 10 Gods followed by frequent corroboration between the bazi and the person to know some of the subtle differences among the stars – particularly the behavioral part.

If your boss is born with a negative output structure, and you did not meet her expectation, she will blatantly tell you into your face "Did you not use your brain?"

However, if hers is a positive structure, then she will tactfully tell you "I think you could have done better if you have factored in this or that. Kindly review your work and see me again tomorrow. Thanks."

Say you make a grave mistake and your boss decided to fire you. If he is a 7 Killing structure, you will hear him yelling at you "You have made a very big mistake and I need you to get lost within 24 hours."

If he is a direct officer structure, he will say "Under section 2 paragraph 1 of the employment agreement, we would need to terminate your service with us as you have caused the company to suffer losses as a result of negligence which is defined as ….."

Next, do you want to learn from a teacher who is using hurting officer or direct input? Frankly, it depends on your personal preference.

H.O. teacher will tell you "I will teach you how to fish and not fish for you. Now, buy my book on how to fish."

D.I. teacher will elaborate on the various methods to fish, the benefits and go the extra mile to cook the fish for you."

Imagine you plan to go to a posh restaurant with someone you are dating. Would you choose to go with a guy with positive wealth star or negative one?

The former will happily foot the bill and tell you dinner is on him while the latter will tell you this time round is on him FIRST!

For the same scenario but at a buffet, a positive friend star guy will be happy if his partner had enough for her dinner while a negative friend star guy will be happy if his partner can also help him hide some food in her handbag for supper later.

No offence guys. Just for laugh.

 

 

 

Just for Laugh

1. Fortune Teller : You have dark qi on your life palace. Come, let me read your fortune.

2. Fortune Teller : Hmm, looks like you are one of the victims in this financial crisis.

3. Fortune Teller : Hey, stop! You have not paid me and you want to walk away?

4. Old Master Q : Can't you tell from my palm that I have no money in my pocket now?

Moral of the story? You tell me :)

DIY Wedding Date Selection

Dear all,

I intend to conduct a 1-day workshop to teach ethusiasts like yourself and even people with not much knowledge of chinese astrology on how to pick an auspicious date for wedding. It is a life skill and you can help your friends to do it next time. The workshop will introduce you to basics of chinese bazi, chinese calendrical and date selection systems. I will then teach you a simple step-by-step wedding date calculation sytem adopted from the famous classic known as Jia Qu Sui Jing Fu 嫁娶碎金赋.

The workshop will be held in Singapore (likely after World Cup because I am going to lose sleep over that too :) ) and it is probably the first-of-its-kind program to be lanched here.

Do email me at destinyasia@hotmail.com to indicate your interest. For those that email me before 30 June 2010, the fee is only $98 per pax instead of $128. For those that bring a friend, it will be $88 per pax.

I hope I can have the chance to meet up with some of you. Cheers!

Officer or Ghost? 官鬼?

.

In bazi, the Direct Officer or Indirect Officer (7 Killing) is a double-headed snake.

When it is positive, it is known as Guan (government official) but when it turns bad, it is known as Gui (Ghost). The Ghost does not mean spirit but it implies petty people who have agenda or people who are plotting against you.

It is not true that when you are a strong Daymaster, the positive stars are naturally Wealth, Officer and Output. This is over simplistic.

On the flip side, when you are a weak Daymaster, it does not mean you cannot use Officer star or such star is definitely negative.

Officer star is the only star among the 10 Gods that has this dual characteristic that can alternate and portray good and bad attributes at different points in time or luck cycle. That is the reason why some wholesome public figures made some silly mistakes and have to end up in jail for misappropriating company's fund. Or some highly respected politicians got into trouble because of molestation.

As a bazi consultant, you need to know when the Direct Officer or 7 Killing star will turn good when it is originally bad in the natal chart and when it will turn bad when it is originally good in the bazi. By knowing just this, you will be able to help your client to predict and avoid major issues and advise him on the best timing to ride on the wave of success.

So, what actually determines when the Officer will become Dr Jekyll or Mr Hyde? The crux and the "million-dollar" secret formula is in the position of the "child star of the Officer star".

You know what I mean ya.

The Art of Extrapolation 移宫换星秘法

People ask me why I like to reveal "secrets" which some people pay thousands of dollars to get. Why am I making it so readily available? I think it could be in my bazi. If I or my counterparts do not share, then I think the knowledge of feng shui and bazi may just die in our generation. And I am talking about authentic stuff that my masters have generously shared with his students. Well, I could have kept all these secrets and make alot of money for myself (which I must admit I do wish to have a better quality of life for my family) but sometimes, money-making is not everything. I think each of us has a purpose in life. I have my mission (使命) too.

During a recent advance bazi sharing session for practitioners in USA, I did not manage to go through this case due to a little poor planning from me - I covered too many advance topics and ended up there was not enough time to go through this special technique. Ya, I guess I was too excited in trying to download as many things as possible to the particpants. Bad habit.

I coined the term as Bazi Extrapolation. Simply put, for instance, you are able to read your mother-in-law's bazi from your own. Sometimes, you can read your neighbour's bazi from yours too (within 1 minute). You probably already know this technique through the 10-God application. There are a few ways to do it and I will just briefly touch on a couple of the techniques that I frequently use.

The chart belongs to a male that has a mistress. The question asked is "Is the mistress pretty?"

There are 2 Yi woods up there. You take 2nd Yi wood as the mistress. She is sitting on peach blossom star. So, we deduce that the mistress is pretty.

The next question asked is "Do you think the son is influenced by the father and he might also have more than one wife?"

The DM is now "moved" to Month Stem. Yi Wood is the father. The focal point of whole bazi changes. The father is a weak DM born in dragon year. Peach blossom star is at hour branch. We call this PB outside the wall. Very appealing to opposite sex. There are also 2 direct wealth stars at the branches. Based on this, we can infer that he has more than one woman.

When will the father be rich? It is when his son (original chart) goes through water and wood luck pillars.

Alot more questions can be asked but you got to be specific in your questions.

Feng Shui and Bazi can be Independent

.

No doubt Feng Shui and Bazi are very intimate cousins, but I seriously think that one does not need to read the bazi to diagnose the issue first and then prescribe Feng Shui solution to address the problem.

In fact, you can SKIP the bazi part (unless client would also like you to read his or her bazi as part of the value-added service) and directly use Feng Shui to diagnose the event in the house.

Whatever problems surfaced in your house fengshui will also be indicated in your bazi. For example, if the bazi of the person reveals that he will suffer from cancer on that year, the fengshui of the house will also say the same thing. And vice versa.

This is the amazing thing about Xuan Xue (玄学). Every thing is connected. Face reading will also tell you the same thing.

On a side note, Flying Stars chart in your house can be read like a bazi when you incorporate the concept of 10 Gods in the stars. One of the older famous HK masters is quite skillful in this.

Bazi is a diagnosis but at the same time, it can also serve as a presciption.

What you may have heard may be just an opinion, a personal belief. A belief however does not necessarily be a fact.
