Classics: ZPZQPZ Example 2

Another example from ZPZQ. The script says: -

"戊癸相合，而癸水通根，泄气太重，以戊土扶身制伤为用。此为实业家洗冠生造"

ShiXiang aka BaiMa translated as: -

"... Wu and Gui combined, with  water rooted as qi leakage (self weaken) is too strong, thus Wu earth which can support self is used to counter hurting officer (gui water)..."

This Geng person is classified as a weak chart. Gui combines Wu has the tendency to form Fire. However it is implied that fire cannot transform. The classical rationale as Output rooted thus weakened the weak chart further has no bearing whatsoever to its ability of the output star to combine with the resource star to form fire. It suggests, it is better that such transformation does not occur so that resource star can keep the output star in control. No fire was mentioned in this phrase and Yin combines Hai is kept silence for unknown reasons.

Classics: ZPZQPZ Example 1

SiXiang has done a remarkable job attempting to translate  ZiPing ZhenQuan PingZhu (子平真诠评注) and thus spark some interest in us to understand the substances of such classics as with one example given, it states that: -

"... 丙辛相合，而官旺通根。此为官多同煞，以丙火制官为用也。此为安徽主席刘镇华之造 ..."

It translates to: -

"  Bing and Xin combine, the Authority is prosperous and rooted. Such is known as "Too strong of Authority equals 7Killings". Bing fire is used to control Authority..."

Strange, Bing and Xin is not even side by side. How to combine? Second, this is a Direct Authority structure and where do we find Seven Killing? Fire to control Metal, yet fire is not even rooted and how possible can it controls metal which is rooted in the seasonal branch? Better, using imagery method, where do you find the "Sun" Bing fire in the wee hour of the morning, Yin? Now, this is the problem with reading the classics and I liked the idea that this classic is written for the experts of that time in order of the Qing Dynasty. It is assumed that readers are well versed with the fundamental of BaZi. 

Our humble opinion, One way to read this chart is that the Jia Day Master born in You month (Autumn), untimely, supported only by Yin branch and Gui stem is technically a weak chart, favoring Self, Resource and Authority. The Authority is absolutely strong and wouldn't this be favorable? However, contrary to popular believes, Earth is the arbitrating element but was unfortunately not protruding in the chart. So, the next choice in line would be naturally fire. In a weak chart, wouldn't fire and earth be the negative gods and yet it is said to be the useful god instead? However, that doesn't mean Earth is not important and will be dormant forever or this person would need to live in the Sahara for his lack of Earth in the stem.

Another postulation is Authority is rooted in the month pillar making the structure of this chart as the Direct Authority structure, it can be said that the Direct Authority becomes so strong that it takes the traits of a Seven Killing (7K) natures – “Abundant of officer equals 7K”. Another way of saying the stubborn Direct Authority structure is negative, implying that this Jia person would do things by the book without compromising is equally bad as a person who would do things without boundaries – The Extremist. This is only true when Earth as an arbitrating element is missing. By saying Fire is used to counter Authority, it implies Fire is used to produce Earth. This is as though using money to buy officer – Bribery! At the end of the line, your Officer (Authority) would listen to you, a typical suggestion given the background context of the Qing Aristocratic Society.
 

Now, is that exactly the Classics try to tell us?

LiChun 立春 Has Arrived - Got Lucky Anyone?

LiChun has arrived. The question is how to make sure you are lucky in XinMao 辛卯year. That is a tricky part in the generic reading. 

Know who you are, is the key to being lucky. Having Xu 戌, Hai 亥 and Wei 未 in the branches, with Mao 卯, can a combination take place? Will the combination be favorable? So, it is very unlikely to assume all combination with Mao 卯 is liked having the grand duke to back you up. Having Xu 戌, Hai 亥and Wei 未 will benefit from Mao 卯 if the charts allowed.

Know your annual affliction, is the key of not offending the TaiSui. Having You 酉, the potential of offending the grand duke is viable. BaZi is instrumental in showing you which part of your life had been hampered by the offended grand duke. Similarly it will tell you how to go about it and PiYao is absolutely out of the equation. Having You 酉 with property sitting You 酉 facing Mao 卯 are volatile of offending the grand duke. To know more read HERE.

Know your peach blossom, is the key of your romance and your noblemen. Mao 卯 is a peach blossom star to Fire Frame. Having Mao 卯 with property sitting Yin 寅, Wu午and Xu 戌 are likely to be affected by the peach blossom star as it is the peach blossom location. If they know how to activate it, it will bring good tiding in one’s romance life and great help from noble people. 

Having Zi 子 in the chart, is having the peach blossom luck in the year of Mao 卯. Having peach blossom star and peach blossom luck is totally two different things altogether. Take the instance of a Wu 戊 male having Zi 子 as his day pillar, This Wu 戊 person is sitting on wealth, among others his spouse star. Mao 卯 arriving, his spouse star is activated. If he marries in this year with the arrival of a supporting month, then his marriage is made in heaven. Same apply to female Bing 丙 person with Zi 子 as her spouse star. 

For a married man, does it means to say he will divorce and remarry again? Mao 卯 and Zi 子 is called uncivilized punishment. Perhaps the notion of “acts against one will” warrants another throughout investigation? If the luck pillar is RenWu 壬午, tendency of destruction in a relationship is obvious compared to GengWu 庚午. 

Know your boundary, is the key of not getting into trouble. People with Chen 辰 has the tendency to be harmed with Mao卯 in legal entanglement. The degree differs depends on each individual charts, especially when the authority star is revealed. Legal entanglement does not begin within a short period of time. The seed may have been planted long ago for it to materialize when the Mao comes in. Being harm, it is all hidden deep within the branch. 

XinMao 辛卯 year is also about JingShui DuoQing 金水多情. While writing about its dynamics with the affected stem branch, we heard sad news about 2 suicides due to relationship matters reported over the media and lots more face saving delirium with the Malaysian socio economics. Among the Mao, XinMao 辛卯 is quite annoying to begin with. 

Likewise, is the birthday of the Human being today, Happy Birthday Everyone… HUAT AH!

XinMao Face Value Malaysia KanaSai!

KanaSai! (Like Shit)! 

Tommorow is already the first day of Chinese New Year. Went to the bank to change some new notes and was told that they had ran out of new notes. Just a couple of day, one Yang Berhormat  from the MCA (Make Chinese Angry) trying to save face by touring local banks to check on the availability of new notes to be told it is sufficient. Bullshit! Saw an old lady beg the officer to spare her some new notes for HungBao money just to be sent away. What is freaking wrong with our Central Bank? Insufficient funds to save grace for the 1 Malaysia? KanaSai!

Went to Tesco and Carrefour to do some last minute shopping. Went to the cooking oil section just to find that it is empty (yeh!, only that the premium sun flower oil is available because the assumption is all Chinese are wealthy)! WahLau eh! Remember that the government has promised that stocks are sufficient for the up coming Chinese New Year celebration. KanaSai! what sort of promise is that? Government is trying to tell lie to the Rakyat (People) and treat them liked fools. Another face value antic for the 1 Malaysia? KanaSai!

We knew that XinMao has not arrive, yet we see some signs of it. Perhaps Namewee lastest Chinese New Year songs are best, represents the KanaSai sentiment of our beloved Malaysia.

HUAT AH!

Annual BaZi Forecast - To Catch A Golden Rabbit

XinMao Year, an astonishing year with Seven Killing (7K) reveals! 7K is the Qi representing among others, piercing wind and in this context it is all about face value. So significant that the chart is overshadowed by Metal and Water Qi displaying bountiful of loves and lusts - JingShui DuoQing. No wonder it is always mistakenly taken as a display of lust and it should not be seen as a fortification of the female gender as sex object, just because it is a Yin pillar. Contrary, it is a vision of a male reproductive organ being nipped off instead! With the mushrooming of “PianMen” business especially in the East (Mao), STD widespread is significant. Gentlemen, please take note.

Peach blossom star for the year of Mao rest in Zi, which is nowhere to be found whereas Mao itself being a peach blossom to fire frames is significantly straddle in the year pillar. FengShui wise, for the property conforms to such structure; care must be taken if there is any violation to ground breaking and activation of killing Qi. Then the above predictions will be very true! An annual audit is specifically to tailor suit for such an account based on the resident’s BaZi and it is also one good reason why FengShui has to be done with BaZi as well. Likewise, it is not wise to actually count the number of peach blossom stars and conclude it is going to be a lovey-dovey year instead.

No doubt that GengYin is about to be expired, its presence are felt within the FuYin (repeated pillars) between the month and the day pillar, among other signifying blunders between the government and the people it governs. FuYin may not necessary be bad. In this case, governments will be seen putting lots of effort to save grace and face value. So, expect some kind of drama within the local political scene where dirty politics will be unfolded, report cards and goodies would be dished; more trouble makers would be book to court and many more scandals involving politician may surface especially when the general elections are inevitable. The undercurrent is again, very unpleasant. One cannot put 2 tigers in the same mountain! In this case, monetary issue. No matter who wins, the people would be the casualty, same sort of imagery of GengYin, dry broken tree, brought forward from the Tiger year. Consumer price index if continuing to rise, buying power is going to deplete, reserves fall shorts, subsidies cut and many more creative ways to “fill back what has been taken out” especially when a country is run by a corporate advisor. Ability to forge better governance may not materialize when all is just a display of face value.

One single arbitrating element is unfortunately dormant! Wisdom and fundamental value is the key success in this very volatile year. Corporate restructuring, merger, delisting of company, consolidations, prioritizing of core business, investment into strong fundamentals are still the best policy in this trying time. Whatsoever lures, lusts, bubbles are just mirage so enticing to trap the greedy, hit and go attitude another outlook of JingShui DuoQing! If you are in earth trade like bonds, properties and insurance, continue to prosper!

HUAT AH !!!!

Cai GuanYin Fascinations ...

I gathered a number of emails pertaining to the topic of Cai GuanYin and I took the liberty of saying it is quite a number of fans for Cai GuanYin. One question remains, is Cai GuanYin a perfect chart? Along our experiences of reading charts we found that profiling Cai GuanYin to the profile of a Tycoon is rather misleading. There is a subtle different between a Cai GuanYin chart of a rich guy with the Cai GuanYin chart of a poor one. Rooted-ness and Stem-liness are just one of the criteria and there are many more to come.

Our student of BaZi workshop has so much knowledge regarding such to take home as one of them was saying, "I thoroughly enjoyed Master Ng's Bazi class. His easy style of teaching made learning fun and naturally, encouraged students participation. All questions were answered. Unlike other masters where some answers would only be made available at higher modules. Most importantly, he offered a different perspective to Bazi reading and his interpretations and disclosures were striking. Those three days of learning had been very enlightening. Thank you Master Ng and your organizing team, David and Lenny".

As for the new year 2011 to come, we are planning for another workshop stretching for at least 6 days for our students covering both BaZi and FengShui simultaneous applications. Our students knew well the depth we had covered in our preparatory workshop and there is much more to come, to gear up one to be a competent practitioner.

Back to Cai GuanYin, one email we received was quite fascinating as an Indonesian Chinese was thinking along that he has inherited a Cai GuanYin formation and being a weak day master, he would had benefited from it. The following correspondence with him would had shed some light into the nature of Cai GuanYin.  As his BaZi has been made available in other blogs, we had taken some steps to keep it anonymous.

Please feel free to comment if you have any doubt.

J: I always wondered what's with the fascination with the structure of "Cai GuanYin" ? Excuse me, let me introduce myself. My name is J and I know BaziDiary and have met him one time in Penang and talked Bazi over Soft Drinks in KFC. Anyway, I have heard that the structure of Self, Output, and Wealth is better than "Cai GuanYin". What are your thoughts on "Cai GuanYin" charts? Pleased to meet you. P.S. My chart is also "Cai,Guan,Yin" with all elements rooted as well as self and a weak DM. I am trying to learn more the nature of this interesting yet peculiar structure. 

YiBaZi: Can you share your Bazi with us? I do not know where to start but to just say that most millionaires are this structure. There is some exceptional case which we had discussed at length during the last workshop. If you understand the significant of a weak chart, you will understand why cai guanyin is so crucial. Hope to meet you someday.

J: I was surprised that you would reply back. BaZiDiary has posted my chart on his site under "law of attraction". You might want to see that first to know his comments on my chart. No, Cai GuanYin was ever mentioned. I found out about it during September this year. By the way, I disagree on his view that my DM is strong just because it's born in the supporting season. However, I will be interested to know your views and what is not and please do let me know if you want more information to confirm with me. By the way, is my chart going to be posted on your blog? And oh yeah, I am not a millionaire YET. I want to believe the remaining LP I have will help me to achieve my dreams. One more thing about my chart, I don't know if it has any significant whatsoever, but all the right stars fall in the right palace in my chart, Grandparent star is in my year branch, mother star is in my month branch, wife star is in my day branch and children star is in my hour branch. My chart is strange. Anyway, I hope to meet you soon too if you ever come to Australia or I go to Penang again.

YiBaZi: Let me look at your chart first and revert to you for more information. Yes, you are right, my approach and BaZiDiary are somewhat different as we may be from different school.Just for curiosity, are you an Indonesian Chinese?

J: Yeh, it just made me sound desperate which I am not that kind of a person. Yes, I am a Chindo (Chinese Indonesia). BaZiDiary learn all his skills from JY and I don't really apply much from JY himself. Not saying he is bad. What I consider good is when the reading is accurate in reading future not only past. Since I have been studying my chart for quite sometimes I'm sure we can have good banter about my chart. As matter of fact let me start a sneak yet critical preview about my chart. My useful God is fire and it is in season as well as rooted. The bad thing about my chart is the FanYin involving month branch and day branch an It is quite severe one.

YiBaZi: No wonder you did not match up a Cai Guan Yin profile! You are a strong chart, my friend! So, BaZiDiary has given you a correct interpretation as to the strength of your chart. Just be a little careful when the Wei comes in.

J: Now I am a strong chart? I thought it was weak due to the fan yin involved. I might be a one of this confusing chart like Bill Gates and Oprah Winfrey charts. Why do I say my DM is weak because in year of BIngXu 2006 I was having a great year that time? If I were strong then BingXu year would be awful for me. Just out of curiousity, Cai guanyin don’t work with strong DM?

YiBaZi: Your chart is easy to read. It is not because I agree with Chris the way a chart's strength is determined only by the month, it is because of something else which I do not wish to disclose. Wouldn't it is strange when BingXu comes in; you would have screwed up, but not? Why? If you understand the rules of transformation, you will see the true picture. A Cai GuanYin is preferred for a weak chart. When the LP and AP come in, a weak chart is better in handling the 5 elements compared to the rest.

J: Thanks for your help in casting a light on the strength of my chart. I kind of understand where are you coming from now. Too bad I got all the right stars and now it is a strong chart. Well, according to ShenSha which I dun like using, my month branch is in Kong Wang but the Wei LP is already over and my life is much better now. Thanks for your help.

The correspondences continue…

My question is, Mr J has been reading more than hundred charts and yet the most profound and fundamental question of the strength of the chart is still prevailing and that has not account to, the accuracy of catching of the useful gods or YongShen. This may not be an isolated case. Unless otherwise, one speaks out liked Mr J did, one will not understand as to why after investing a fortune in BaZi courses and consultations, readings the chart is still way off the actual life events. Something must be so damn wrong, somewhere.  It proof s one thing, you are still your own best teacher. 

We would like to hear your view.

Perfect Chart?

BingBazi introduces us a near perfect chart for discussion, apparently a date selections for C-Section. Jia wood born in winter. Strong self? If it is a weak chart, then on a superficial level, everythings seems to fall into place. Perfect star in the correct palace? No clash, punishment and of the sort. Impeecable stillness. Is that really so? 

It is a blessings that the students of the currently completed workshop has an opportunity to understand more layers beyond just strong or weak. More importantly do you think this is a chart befitting an emperor?
