A Lost Of A Master

One of my masters in DaoFa (The Art of Mountain) has recently passed away. I owed much to him for the last favors he rendered were to initiate one of the altars for the Bodhisattva Manjushri and Samanthabrada, besides all the methods of ShenDao (Daoist Practice) he bestowed upon me. The initiation is an event worth remembering as the arrival of the spirits is reflected in the Xiang or imagery similar to the signs of QiMen, not able to be fabricated by man. Indeed, it was a great lost to myself and many more others, whose lives, he has helped to change for the better.

 

Death can occurred in the Good Luck pillar. The indications were a completed clashed or combined away of the useful Gods. In these instances it was a combination factors. For his fake following chart, when the combinations transformed into his self element, nothing is there to protect him, not even his protective Gods. The acute lopsidedness happened at the time of JiaYin, imagery foretold a ladder to heavens. He has a peaceful passing moment and he shows no sign of fatigue the very night before, while enjoying his last moment with the company of disciples and friends over supper. Combinations indicate among others, a peaceful passing away.

 

We prayed for him to attain the bliss of Nirvana and our condolences to his family and disciples at large. May he enjoy in the merits of our knowledge sharing, practice of Dao and good deeds. May all beings be well and happy, Sadhu, Sadhu, Sadhu.

The Reaper And The Chart

Death can occur during Good Luck, this is NOT a Fallacy.

The protective element of the chart is REAPED off.

The useful god is DEAD!
The Self is vulnerable for attack.

BaZi Diary has notify us about his lost of a partner. We are sorry to hear that. As his partner's chart was put up, it will be an opportunity to see, for real case, as how the reaper works on the chart. The Ding self is strong, making resource and self as his vulnerable elements. This is elementary. A deeper look revealed that this chart is rather lop sided, being too many fires. So, output to him becomes important, his life source.

Comes Xin Chou, his guardian angel revealed. How bad could it be? Heaven and Earth are his favorable elements. He is destined for GOOD LUCK. Since metal is not in his natal chart, he has no affinity with this guardian angel. This is the first cut.

FanYin with three pillars! Not enough? Removed away all his useful gods, when Chou year comes in with a revealed Ji, Ding is no longer a strong chart. The clash of the graves with lure and support by season also pulled the Ding into his own grave making it a grand finale. The self finally was broken.

On a XuanKong level, there will also be a FanYin in the abode of his residence and I reserved such discussions for another blog on another day.

So, quickly scan through your own chart and if preventive is not an option, then lived life to the fullest! On a lighter note, since BaZi Diary has gone professional, an investment of USD 38 is a good bargain for this piece of information. Liked the saying goes, preventive is always better then cure, so hurry up.

A Family Chart With Disciplinary Problem

Seldom do we discuss the BaZi of the entire family. So, I took the liberty to put forth a family chart for discussion. Qian represents the father, Kun the mother, Xun the elder daughter and Li the youngest daughter of the family of four, living in Europe. Let just not complicate matters, how would a FengShui master goes about it putting the tapestry of these charts into a collective whole?

Among others, the predicaments of this family are as the followings: -

Qian’s career is static, it is difficult for him to achieve his goals as an electronic engineers. In fact, he is a bit fed up by electronics and would like to go back to his real interest: mathematics.

Qian and Kun have a very bad relationship with their eldest daughter who is 15 this year and impossible to manage, giving eventually way to bouts of violence against her father, and breaking things in her bedroom where she locks in when in wrath.

The assumptions are Hour of birth for the Kun is unknown as she has difficult family history with unknown parentage and some violence.

Qian, technically a fake follower undergoing JiaShen or YiYou luck, risked of being just a weak chart instead. Daughter palace indicates elemental producing in, so it is auspicious. In the context of a fake follower chart following wealth, then wealth which is auspicious and thus, weakened. Then, why would there be bouts of violence from his daughter instead? Is she not her biological daughter? So, my take it cannot be a follower chart but just a weak chart. There is where the father spoilt her daughter by over providing her. Again, this is another problem with a lousy officer star.

Career palace of Qian revealed an elemental clash between his resource and output. That is where he is not feeling that his goal has been achieved. With the authority with no root, things may be a little difficult for him. So, as a note, he has authority issue which not keep tab may ended up with legal matters.

Kun, technically a weak chart, with the correct element at the correct daughter palace, things should not have been difficult for her. So, the hour pillar may have been wrong. In terms of disciplining her daughter, without resource, authority for her is unfavourable and beside, authority does not revealed at all.

However, another school of thought provided that the self is a stubborn fire pillar supported by wood season and strengthened by another fire at the side. So this could well be a strong chart. She too has a lousy authority star to start with.

Xun, technically a strong chart as there is a fire frame supported by season and lure. With the absent of the father’s star, she may not have the affinity with her biological father and could that be the case? If not then the father only acts as a material provider for her. A palace elemental revealed that a producing out into her authority star which is revealed and yet weakened by the resource which happened to be the mother, then her authority star is indeed a lousy one. It all boils down to disciplinary matter and the sources are her parents. Over provisions can some times be a harming factor.

So, if one is auditing the FengShui of the house, from the readings of the charts, one could zoom into the officer issues either there could be mismatched in water flowing out of the officer palace or there is a ShaQi located at the officer’s location. That will be the tale for another day.

For a friend who has asked the question as to how do we read the BaZi chart in correspond to a FengShui audit, this is an example. Ultimately, I honestly could not understand that there are respond to say BaZi is not require in the art of FengShui. Perhaps I am a little dull to see beyond that.

Cancer Of The Nostrils

This is the chart of a good friend of mine whom I knew since the schooling days. He is now 47 years of age. He was diagnosed of having cancer of the nostrils in early 2006, which was still technically yi-you year then. He entered the negative ren-zi LP since 2001.

This chart is similar to the previous eyes problem case in many ways.

We shall again begin our analysis from the strength of the DM.

1st criteria : strong - wei is summer season since ding is in the stem (month stem).

2nd criteria : weak - yin against chen and chou.

3rd criteria : strong - jia and ding (month stem) against ren.

Note that ding-ren does not transform because it is not supported by the summer season.

Overall : 2 strong against 1 weak makes him a strong ding DM.

Just like the previous chart, the chou-wei earth clash will release all the negative stars of water, wood and fire when activated since these 3 negative stars are protruding in the stems. Again, water stars strengthen the wood stars and the wood stars strengthen the fire stars which also take roots in the wei month branch. So, this chart is also overload with the end product of the negative fire stars which causes this chart to be off balance.

As for timing, you should be able to tell why ren-zi LP is bad compared to the previous xin-hai LP and all his earlier LPs. Perhaps, the 2 dings in the middle of the chart give the image of the nostrils.

I really pray and hope that he will recover soon. He has 5 children and the eldest is only 16 years old. I remember one wise man said before: "Health is the greatest Wealth; Contentment is the greatest Happiness".

A case of a very bad eyesight problem

This is the chart of a 17 years old boy who is already blind in one eye and almost blind in the other due to very high power. Normally, serious health issues can be seen in charts that are very ill balance due to the presence of a very strong negative star.

Let us analyse beginning from the strength of the DM.

1st criteria : strong - the chen month is a wood month because jia wood is protruding.

2nd criteria : weak - wu against xu and you.

3rd criteria : strong - jia and bing (month stem) against gui.

Overall : 2 strong against 1 weak. Therefore, this is a strong bing DM.

This chart is unfortunate because there is a xu-chen clash which will release all the protruding negative stars when activated. Water stars will strengthen the wood stars and the wood stars will ultimately strengthen the fire stars. So, this chart is out of balance due to the strong presence of the fire stars which are also rooted in the fire horse.

The heart, eyes and blood are the fire parts of our body.Can you see why it's the eyes from the chart?

Some people think that earth clashes will always bring about health problems. This is not true. If the clashes release positive stars that are protruding in the stems, then it can actually be favourable.

Good health to all, Lwee.

PostScript: Lwee has brought up a novel idea in the interpretation of the strenght of this chart. We are being taught all this while that Yin Mao and Chen were the three seasonal frames representing Spring seasons. The Taiwanese method further described that in the first 9 days, Chen is dominated by Yi, for the subsequent 3 days, Chen is dominated by Gui and only for the last remaining 18 days, Chen becomes a truly earth star. Counting backward, it could have been the days when Chen is dominated by Gui, therefore may be read as not in season. Although Lwee and myself do not subsribed to this method of postulations, however, it could be a worthwile topic for discussions.

Another Brilliant Bing Fire

This is another chart that shows how transformation affect the strength of the DM. Ding-ren transforms into wood stars supported by the yin wood month.

1st criteria : strong - wood season.
2nd criteria : weak - mao against hai and xu.
3rd criteria : strong - ding and ren (turn into wood stars) against ji.
Overall : 2 strong against 1 weak makes this bing a strong DM.

This is a chart of a 3rd year student in a Singapore university. He was one of my students during his pre-U years. He obtained straight As and then got accepted into the Singapore university on a full scholarship. The brilliance of this chart again lies in the rooted useful god of the earth stars. Here again, the negative wood stars are strongly rooted since ding-ren has transformed into wood stars. He has a muscular problem that caused his hands and legs to be weak. Although he is able to walk, he needs some assistance climbing up and down the stairs. Basically, growth problem is a wood problem since wood is the only star that grows.

Lwee.

PostScript (David) : This was interesting. While writing a commentary, I noticed that there may be a transformation fire structure at the Yin Wu Xu combination with lure and supported by season, although the Wu is being pushed up. If this transformation take place, it is no longer a spring season that we are talking about, but the entire fire frames composition rendering it as fire season instead. Ofcourse there is one school that state that, the season as a reference cannot change its cherecter similarly to the self reference, at this juncture the transformation is eminent. If this condition enable such transformation to take place, then the Ren and Ding may not combine and transform into wood. What is your take?

Transformation That Affects The Strength Of The DM

This is the chart of Steve Jobs, the founder of Apple Computers. The yin-mao-chen seasonal combo transforms into wood stars, supported by the yin month and lured by yi in the year stem. This transformation turns the chen earth into wood.

Here are the 3 criterias in determining the strength of the DM.

1st criteria : strong - yin month supports fire DM .
2nd criteria : strong - chen and mao against wei. (chen has turned into wood)
3rd criteria : weak - yi against xin and wu

Overall : 2 strong against 1 weak makes this a strong bing DM.

A chart that has a very strong unfavourable stars in the natal chart is very imbalance and is prone to illness. This chart has a very strong negative wood stars. The main organ for wood stars is the liver. It was reported recently that he has a liver transplant due to liver cancer.

The brilliance of this chart lies in the strongly rooted useful god which are the earth stars.
