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.

Breast Cancer

This is the chart of a 50 years old lady who was diagnosed with cancer of the breast in this ji-chou year.

She has undergone an opeartion and is being treated with chemotherapy. Can you see the image of an operation from the chart?

She entered into her present geng-chen LP in 2003.

This is a strong geng DM. So, the negative stars are the fire, earth and metal stars. As you can see, the earth and metal stars are strongly rooted and the end product is a very strong presence of metal stars in the chart.

What happens when she moves into the geng-chen LP?

Obviously, the chart will be overload with metal stars as chen-you combines and transforms into metals stars with geng protruding. The strongly rooted earth stars from this ji-chou year is the final blow.

Can you see the consistencies in the charts of people who have serious health issues?

Therein lies the POWER of BAZI. There are so much more.......

Let us pray and hope that she too will recover.

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 Fake Follower ?

It was quite strange that when I started yifengshui.blogspot.com, I met bazidiary.com whose blog has been dedicated towards applying the art of BaZi to his daily appetites. Then it was an appetizer that has sparked many interesting ideas to come. Especially associating with a Ren personality with many ideas that can potentially be monetized, as he said. Then it came ShiXiang from artoflifez.blogspot.com that made the entrée with deliciously translated BaZi literatures from various sources to the otherwise English speaking communities that solely depended on books by currently 2 most prolific writers whose work only acts liked a teaser to the highly priced live courses to come. Hats off to him as he is assembling the entire rule base of BaZi from various schools and non biased compared to myself, although the adverts on his blog is some times, quite annoying. As for yibazi.blogspot.com, it will be another platform to spur discussion making it as dissert. Almost liked a salad bowl that makes the three comes together. Liked I always say, the SanYuan began with the three. So, with this blog, I received many queries ranging from reading a chart to identifying a structure especially pertaining to identifying the strength of the Self or the day master. Similarly to the fake follower chart of Miss Blue River, another lady by a pseudonym of CWC has the following request to make,

"... I have been following your blog with much interest. Since I am intrigued by Bazi and have been reading on the subject, your sister blog YiBazi came on timely and with much information too especially on determining the strength of the DM. I am a self-taught Bazi enthusiast and so far knew only that season determines the strength of DM as was given to understand in the books I read! Hence what I learnt from your blog actually overturns what I knew and which means I am not too sure about my own DM now. Could you enlighten me on the strength of my own DM and my favourable and unfavourable elements?

I am a female with this BaZI elements:

Year : Ding Hai
Month: Ji You
Day: Ji You
Hour: Ren Shen

Now, I interpret myself to be very weak, even perhaps a fake follower chart....

1. Not supported by the Season
2. No root in the branches
3. Only a resource Ding in the Stem of Year Pillar.

Thanking you in anticipation. Also thank you for sharing your knowledge so freely with people like me who is interested in Bazi but couldn’t afford the hefty fees to attend the classes offered…”

To start the ball rolling, my take is this is not a follower chart. It is just another weak chart. If recalled, ShiXiang did mention the followings: -

In determining the strength of the day master, The Three Main Rules are

1. The Season

2. The Ground

3. The Heaven

Here, Ji earth born in You month where metal is strong and water is prosperous, earth is however, weakened. Therefore, Ji self is not born in season. Second, one do not view on ground as just as just root. When there is no other earthly branch that support the self liked fire or earth (root) one can conclude it is not supported by Ground. Thirdly, the heaven. Here it is a little complicated as Ren and Ding may combine and transformed into wood. The question is will this transformation take place? Here, again ShiXiang has written a good piece of guideline as it states,

八月节（酉月）,丁壬不化

The eight month of rooster, Ren Ding does not transform.

When this transformation does not take place, it will render the chart as a weak chart. One has a self element and resource to break, even a fake, follower chart structure.

Therefore, in reading a weak chart, its favourable elements are earth, fire and in this case, even wood. Again, why is there a tendency to combine Ding and Ren when they are so far apart? Perhaps ShiXiang can write a piece of work on this.

Chart of Tiger Woods

This is the chart of one of the most successful golfer in the world. Of course, this chart belongs to the one and the only Tiger Woods. He is a weak geng DM and he has his positive resource, officer and wealth stars all protruding in the stems. On top of that, his useful god, the earth stars are strongly rooted. His wealth stars, which are the wood stars are also rooted.What a fantastic chart!

Lwee.

PostScript: Just in case, one don't know who this personality is, attached herewith is his write ups from Astro-DataBank.

American golfer who is perhaps the best young golfer in history. On April 13, 1997 he catapulted to fame when he gave a record-setting performance the likes of which golf had never seen. With a record-setting score of 270, he became the youngest winner and the first person of mixed race in the 61-year history of the Masters to achieve such glory. He followed his victory with several more. In 1999, he won the World Cup for both individual and team performance. With his eight-stroke victory at the British Open, Woods became the youngest player to complete a Grand Slam on July 24, 2000, winning all four major championships: the Masters, the U.S. Open, the British Open and the PGA. In his unprecedented career, he is the first player since 1937 to repeat a win in the PGA Championships. With his victory in Augusta, GA on April 8, 2001, Tiger Woods swept modern golf's four major championships. No one has succeeded in this sport more quickly or decisively than Woods.

Before his 1996 professional debut, he was the youngest player to win the U.S. Junior Amateur title at the age of 15 and the first to win three of them. He left his amateur status and moved on to the pro circuit on August 28, 1996. In December 1996 and in 2000, he was named Sports Illustrated’s Sportsman of the Year, becoming the first athlete to ever be accorded that honor twice. In 1997 he signed endorsements with both Nike and Titleist that were worth $60 million over five years. His coach since 1992 is Butch Harmon (born August 28, 1943 in Detroit, MI).

Woods is known as a fine man who was raised with love, rules, respect, confidence, and pride in his heritage that includes one-eighth Black, one-eighth American Indian, one-fourth White, one-fourth Chinese and one-fourth Thai, an All-American mixture. His parents raised their only child to take a productive place in society. His father Earl Woods, a retired military man, gave him his first golf club at the age of three and taught him concentration. When Tiger practiced as a kid, his dad would shout, wave things, run around and do whatever he could to distract him, from which the young Woods learned to focus. Now as a professional on the green, he will smile and wave at people, but when he turns his attention to his game, he moves into a zone that is focused. Earl Woods wrote a book about his famous son aptly named "Training a Tiger," published in June 1997.

A Buddhist, Woods confirms that he meditates, but not as much as he used to. Though his world has become a glittering succession of private jets, chauffeured limos and room service, friends say that he is still his own easy-going, video-game-loving young self. Before his 25th birthday, Tiger broke up with former girlfriend Joanna Jogoda and his dad remarked that he’d probably not marry before 30. Young Woods had other things on his mind that year, including his game. In October his book, “How I Play Golf,” was published. Showing that he enjoys a good time, he dyed his hair blond on a short-lived whim while he was partying at a resort with his pal Michael Jordan over New Year’s.

On April 14, 2002, at Georgia's Augusta National Golf Club, the golfing great captured his third Masters crown -- joining Jack Nicklaus (who won in 1965 and '66) and Nick Faldo ('89 and '90) as the only men to win back-to-back Masters tournaments. With a final round 71, Woods shot 12-under-par 276 for the tournament and collected $1,008,000. Later that year, in July, Tiger met his new girlfriend, Elin Nordegren, 22, a gorgeous blond model and nanny. On November 25, 2003, they became engaged at a game reserve in South Africa, and they married on October 5, 2004 at Sandy Lane Beach resort in Saint James Parish, Barbados. The couple said "I do" at 5:40 PM local time according to a Caribbean Broadcasting Corporation reporter quoted on CNN.

In 2004, Woods lost his #1 world ranking to Vijay Singh, but he continues to astound. By late 2004, Woods had accumulated over $53,000,000 in prize money alone. He won his first ever championship match in Japan on November 21, 2004, bringing to 10 the number of countries in which he has won a title. Still a young man, he has many more matches to win and records to break.

His beloved father and mentor, Earl Woods, died on May 3, 2006 at age 74 of prostate cancer in Cypress, CA.

On August 6, 2006, Woods won another PGA Tour championship, adding another “youngest player ever …” to his name. This win confers upon him “the youngest player ever to win 50 titles.”

On August 20, 2006 he captured his 12th major title when he won the 88th PGA Championship in Illinois.Woods took another PGA championship on August 12, 2007.

Woods and his wife welcomed their first child, a daughter named Sam Alexis Woods, born “early Monday morning” on June 18, 2007 according to Woods on his website.Their second child, a son named Charlie Axel, was born on February 8, 2009.

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.

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?
