Why Bazi reading 子平法
An individual Bazi reading is based on the analysis of Year , Month, Day and time of birth. The Bazi reading system consist of 60 甲子 Jia Zi, comprising 10 stems 天干 and 12 roots 地支.
Interpreting your Destiny profile provides insights to your personality, health, relationships, character, career, wealth and “likely” future outcomes.
Bazi reading helps to manage your life better NOT LUCKY COLOUR OR TALISMAN
Why “likely outcomes”?
because one can manage your life’s path better by improving on your character/characteristic/personality and traits. It requires a change in your attitude, education, discipline and effort. This will result in changing of habits and lifestyle which can be an unpleasant experience. Bazi reading reveals your future directions, is up to you to make the best out of a good or bad situation.
Another obvious aspect is education through self enrichment such as reading, learning experiences from others etc etc
It is NOT using feng shui to find your lucky home or lucky office or lucky colours or wearing lucky charms! Feng Shui and Bazi Reading are 2 different formulas and applications! Don’t be misinformed that lucky colours and directions can “transform” bad luck into good luck.
What Bazi can’t do
Just like any studies, Bazi has it’s own limitations. If you look at Bazi Classics the main topics of key concern are wealth and status (fame & fortune). For instance, bazi reading is unable to offer a solution to “emotional relationships” because it is personality clash. One of the many ways to avoid quarrel is to walk away from the argument and cool down.
Just like any other aspects of life. For e.g. “Health”, bazi reveals the most vulnerable part of your body, you have to make a personal effort to improve your diet, lifestyle, habit and exercise. Unlike what you were told, bazi reading is not wearing lucky charms and your health will miraculously improved!
Don’t micro manage your life
Besides understanding our real self. Zi Ping Bazi reading provides insight to counter imbalance in our Day Master & structure:
- find out 八字格局 体用 bazi structural life directions
- 10 years luck pillars + annual luck – prizes or price to pay?
- strengthen or subdue 5 element imbalance 用神 扶抑, 顺用, 逆
- harmonise with the 4 season solstices 调候
- mitigate conflict/s between opposing element e.g. water vs fire 通关
- missing element 五行缺一 or 二 is it needed?
- others which are too technical to explain in a few sentences
A “self-awareness” & “self-actualising” program
It is through “awareness” that we know our character strengths & limitations. Chinese Birth reading is like a “lever”, using a lesser amount of time to find out more about ourselves and with the right fulcrum i.e. bazi chart useful elements, we make positive changes.
You can make a difference in your life
It is you to take “pro-active” actions to make a difference.Bazi reading does not transform life from bad to good but give insights to your future so that you can prepare and do something about it.
It help us to realize our underlying issues that hinder us from reaching our goals. Obstacles can be our character or the path taken wrongly. More often than not it is not because there are no solutions to our bazi limitations but we do not want to change!
Goals means different things to different people in different stages of life to some is wealth, others a fulfilling life helping the needy, health, marriage, family, career etc.
We can use Bazi reading to formulate “10-Year luck pillars” to forecast a “general trajectory” of where our life is heading in the future. It is like “google map” showing you different routes and the best route to to reach your destination. Obviously if you are a non-believer, you can still insist on your routine and meet with traffic jams.
Rediscover & ReDefine your Destiny 知命 而 改善 不是 改变 命运
The concept of Chinese bazi reading help us to “take charge” and “take action” and focus on things that matter. Please allow me to explain. For example Mr A birth structure shows that he is a very creative and intelligent person but poor in Math and Science. Then he should divert his talents in the artistic arena, perhaps by going overseas.
Through birth reading we focus on our strengths and play down on our weaknesses. Chinese birth reading helps us to understand our “destiny” we need to make wise decisions and actions to act on it 知命而 改善命运 . In the above e.g. Mr A still requires to sharpen his creativity through education & experiences if not it will be day-dreaming, working on ideas that will not work.
Some pessimist will view bazi reading as 宿命論 “fatalism”, because if the reading is negative, they will lose sleep and get stress up. Why not adopt a “positive mental attitude” to turn things around instead of giving up to fate because you already have the “unfair” advantage to know how bazi works and how your life’s directions is going to unfold in future.
Bazi 10 Year Luck period is like weather forecast
To quote Benjamin Franklin “By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.”
Using an analogy, 10-Year Luck Pillar is like “weather forecast”. It gives you a general idea about your future inclinations. Is your future going to be sunny, stormy or fair? It is improbable to change the weather tomorrow but you can prepare by doing something positive to make things happen.
Take charge of your own Destiny
The truth is not all of us is Mr. Bernard Arnault “billionaire material” or Taylor Swift, if not the whole world will be in chaos. Some are good in providing support, while others are die hard analytical and some live by instincts and gut feel. One can’t say who is more important or better because it depends on the situation or problem to solve.
There are causal laws govern by the Universe, one make wiser decisions by acknowledging and applying what we are good at and taking advantage of certain timings or people in our life. Some call it “luck”, i called it “being prepared”. It is this “self-awareness” and “taking charge & action” that make us where we are today.
Before you seek consultation in bazi reading, do accept who you are and prepare to make changes to your personality, habits and lifestyle. i am a candid person so sometime it may not be pleasant to hear shortcomings and hard steps to take about changing your life!
