Bazi Luck reading is based on a 10 years pillar cycle derived from your Month of birth pillars. Our 10-Year luck pillar is also influence by annual zodiac year.

Our life events unfolds when 10-year luck pillar vis-à-vis with Annual Luck causing a 刑冲破害 effect with our Day Master. Understanding our future help us to prepare. As the saying goes, luck is “preparation meets opportunity”. 

Bazi luck reading depends on:

a. Day Master

Competitive advantage in life 

A good read on our bazi help us to take advantage of our future. A positive person will make preparations when the future is bad while a negative person will complain and do nothing about it. In today’s competitive global environment we could use some help by understanding our future to gain a competitive advantage to advance our career, relationships, businesses or investments.

Chinese birth reading shorten your learning curve

An in-depth birth profile analysis will reveal the type of person you are, your inert talent, personality, strengths & weaknesses We are unique and owe it to ourselves to know. Take for example, bazi reveals that you are a political animal then working in a bureaucratic environment suits you. Or you are good with ideas, creative-solving skills, therefore working in a highly fluid organisation fits. It is a revelation on what you do best based on your strengths, weaknesses, personality and passion.

Some birth profiles work well in a Big Company while others small outfit. To some job-hopping is the only way to get promotions and advance your career. These insights saves time and unnecessary effort.

What makes us tick

Chinese luck reading help us to understand what motivate us. Strangely it is not always about money, to some power is everything, while others seek job security etc. Chinese bazi reading help us to understand ourselves 知命 and make it work 立命. Confucius quote 不知命無以為君子,  不知命就不會去修命，不修命就無法安身立命, it means if we don’t really understand who we really are, how can we improve and be better.

There is this famous chinese wisdom that goes like this:

一命 Destiny or Fate  二运 Luck 三风水 Feng shui 四积德 Doing Good 五读书 Study 六名 Name 七相 Facial 八敬神 Respect God 九交贵人 Networking with the Right People 十养生 Self-preservation

Chinese Bazi reading accounting your assets and liabilities

Here is an example of bazi chart and it’s relationship with 10-year luck pillar. Day Master Weak Geng Metal and favourable elements are “wet earth” and water.

One year of  Bad Luck and left with nothing 

Life has it’s ups and downs. A person can enjoy 20 years of good fortune and only takes 1 year to lose everything. Some examples are 制殺太過反為兇, 天克地冲 財破印 從殺格因大运不从 and many others.

What to do when your life is in a dark hole

1. Make hay while the sun shines
Check the highs and lows of your 10-year luck. Capitalise on your high, save and reinvest. Buffer your lows with secondary plans. Take for e.g. your 10-year luck reveals losing your job, then pick up a new skill before the time comes. Stay in touch with your networks.  Seek out your bazi nobleman or benefactors but it still depends on your bazi useful elements. Most important keep calm. Bad times bring out the best in us.

Try appreciation. Some are born without eyes or limbs? i am not suggesting mediocracy, just be more thankful to live life as it is. If we learn to see the beauty, big or small, we learn to live a life of gratitude.

2. Increase your vitality through bazi lucky element

All of us have experienced challenges or ‘bad’ things in our lives. As we get older, this can considerably burden us with fear, decrease our vitality and create diseases. Consider taking up exercises that suits your bazi 5 elements.

Do exercises and go to places that are favourable to your elements using qi men dun jia or other feng shui formulas to improve your luck no matter how small it is. There is no point whining or complaining.

3. Create abundance

Gratitude decreases ‘brain noise’ we create from continually reliving old negative scenarios in our mind of anger or pain. i believed you heard about the laws of attraction, stay positive. Futhermore when we are grateful, our thoughts automatically make us feel more abundant, more fulfilled and more lovable. This, in turn, will attract more of the same in our lives.

4. Charity 

Get involve in charity works. Look after those that are more unfortunate than you.

5. Don’t waste your money buying Annual feng shui products

Trust me it does not work. i have gone through that learning curve during the first 3 years of my feng shui exploration. Most of the things we need in life are already build into our system. 

6. Go Overseas

Go overseas, take a break and stop worrying. Tomorrow will take care of itself!

7. Feng shui your home and office

Make use of feng shui home or office to improve your luck and balance the elements in your bazi configuration.  The lesser your luck, the more you need feng shui or qi men dun jia help.

8. Edit your name and make it lucky

Consider upgrading your Chinese name to suit your bazi luck profile. Promote your new name over social media to improve your 10 year luck.

9. Stay Positive, have Faith and Endure 

Positive thinking is a mental and emotional state that focuses on the bright side of life and expects positive results. A positive person anticipates happiness, health and success, and believes he or she can overcome any obstacle and difficulty. Likewise we are affected by the people surrounding us. Meet negative people we end up crying over each other troubles. 

10. Make Positive Affirmations a part of your life

The mind cannot tell the difference between positive or negative; It is what we repeatedly think and say is what you get. The greatness of the human mind is that it can turn thoughts and words into reality. Make positive affirmations every morning and good luck will happen in your life!

“whatever the mind can conceive and believe, it can achieve!”

Chinese birth reading is a data analysis tool to raise your self-awareness, understand your value system, motivations and present a road map consisting of opportunities, detours & road blocks.

There are 3 popular formulas to analyse our Birth Chart 子平法,  紫微斗数 and 奇门遁甲. All 3 methods utilise year, month, day and time of birth to calculate.  Here we discuss in greater details on Zi Ping bazi reading.

omg    not lucky colours or jadeite

Chinese birth reading is not some overrated get-rich-quick formula like wearing your lucky colors, jadeite or talisman nor placing some items and boom your luck improve! The reality of life is there is No Reward without effort, skill and discipline.

“Know thyself, know thy enemy. A thousand battles, a thousand victories” by Sun Tzu.

Sun Tzu believed If you know the enemy and know yourself, you will emerge victories in all battles. Although we are not at war but we have our daily monsters to deal. Stuff like lack of self-belief, confidence, purpose, courage or even as simple as accepting who we are. 

life directions, marriage, wealth, career 

Who are you? Your persona (swagger), attitude, effort, discipline, determination, education, confidence, faith, passion

Zi Ping Bazi algorithm uses the Day Master and Zi Wei Dou Shu (purple star) uses trinity of 3 palaces & 4 directions + 4 changes (三方四正, 四化) to analyse our birth chart. Zi Ping profund insight of life comes from Day Master interaction with year, month and time.

The interactions can be complementary 喜, conflicting 忌, contrasting 冲, contradictory 刑, controlling 克 and cooperative 合(日主八字用神分析), i simply call it the “6 Cs”. Here use Jia Wood-Day Master as an example.

From the birth chart we look at day master’s relationship with year, month, time & call it as 10 deities 十神. The relationships & interactions reveal our character, relationships, career, wealth, marriage, life duration and others.  Add on the variable “time” dynamic, 10-Years luck pillar and Annual Luck we can forecast our future trend see chart below.

timing – what you guys call luck

10 Year Luck pillar forecast when these events will happen in our future. The age or year shows the transition points when luck changes. When is your “bull” or “bear” run or flat line? What are some proactive actions you can do? Should you adjust your goals and expectations? How about having plan B and plan C in place.

By now you will realised that my emphasis on Chinese Birth Reading is to raise our awareness, effort and doing the right thing at the right time. 

10-year luck forecast 十年大运

Chinese bazi reading calculate 1 cycle of 10 years or 1 Luck pillar. Every duration of 10 years is consider 1 cycle and it could be good or bad depending on your Bazi useful elements 八字用神喜神. The time line for the predicted events is not 100% accurate because individual decisions & actions, country, economy, world events does make it happen earlier or later. 

annual luck reading

Some clients wanted me to do annual bazi reading and i rejected most of them. It is not constructive to micro manage your life by months. Do not allow Destiny or Fate to dictate your life. There are many things that you can change with effort & discipline like improving on your character and daily routine. Problem is most can’t accept things that we cannot change. Instead of focusing on our positives most try to change their negatives. 

which is more important Bazi Structure 命 or Luck pillars 运 

This is a common debate on birth vs luck. In my opinion i would say when a person is born (birth profile) he is endowed with certain assets or liabilities. Thus if you are a child of a billionaire you need not worried about food, water, clothing, education, money and shelter – the basic necessities of life. On the other hand if you are born from a poor family you will have to struggle to make ends meet.

Luck comes to play if we are referring to someone’s accomplishments. Using the same example the rich man son due to his comfort zone may party 24/7 with nothing achieved. Whereas son of poor dad, study and work hard may become the youngest billionaire!

10 years luck strategies

10 years luck forecast reveal timing of life events. Given insights to our future, we gear up life-strategies to make wiser decisions for our career, business investment, marriage, education etc. Certain long term life decisions are important to us. For instance i have a business client that started a franchise business and lost money over the past 6 months. He approached me thinking that there something wrong with shop feng shui. After going through there are no major feng shui problems. Luckily for all my clients i do provide a quick snapshot of “bazi bonus” in conjunction with feng shui audit so i tell him about his bazi reading.

Told him that his in-born personality is not suited to do business. He lacks innovation, risk averse, slow in taking actions, easy-going to the extent of gullible…so i presume you know what are my recommendations.

no rewards without effort, skill and discipline

The concept of Chinese birth reading on 10 Year Luck Pillar is to provide a general insight into our future like a weather forecast. Blue skies or stormy weather is how well we prepare, manage and embrace our future.

One odd feedback from bonus birth reading tips (feng shui consultation ) “even” with practical advise on character tweaking, health exercise, timing, feng shui directions/locations, education courses to take etc… some clients would still asked “so how do i improve my luck?”

Most wanted an instant fix without any effort like wearing lucky charms! seriously!    

For e.g. “tao hua” enhancement, i asked the client to be active in certain locations, directions and certain dates and if the client do not participate in “social” events do you think it will work?

Don’t live life to chances

The reason we should know our chinese birth reading is to see how our life is headed and which direction. This is where we exercise our positive law of attraction than leaving it to chance.

Hence tools like feng shui home, office, auspicious chinese name and others help us to make life easier. In any case if we know deep down that we do what could humanly possible and our best that we fought till our last breath and heartbeat.

We live by choice not by chance. There is no meaning to life if we live by chance alone. Sound planning through chinese birth reading, education or any life improvement methods, does help to lead a better and happier life.

An auspicious chinese name compensate inadequacies in a person’s 5-Element Birth Chart  configuration (year, month, day and  time of birth) 八字体用 & 格局 喜忌用神.

A famous chinese saying by Confucius’ analects state

名不正，则言不顺；言不顺，则事不成

Our Bazi is imperfect

These are common Bazi weaknesses:

a. birth profile that is too hot or cold
b. missing element or elements (wood, fire, earth, metal & water)
c. useful element 八字用神not found in existing birth chart
d. conflict or clashes found without mitigating element in birth structure
e. others

Parents birth profile clashes

There are some Chinese baby naming masters that required parents’ birth profiles for auspicious names for their child. Not sure why but is absolutely unnecessary.

First of all parents would have their own auspicious names that suit themselves. Why the child’s name must “suit” the parents? i suspect the reason is that they are thinking of “conflict” between them.

Over the years i have seen conflict between parents and child due to personality differences not because of bazi itself. Family conflict usually happen when members have different views or beliefs that clash or child’s growing stage of life to become an adult. Peaceful negotiation and respect for the other person’s point of view is the solution not “auspicious chinese name”.

Secondly parents favourable elements may differ from child. So do we cater to the parents or child? Who’s life are we concern about and what is the priority. Obviously is the child.

This nonsense about suitability with parents belong to China 封建时代 feudalism era. Where parents due to large number of children even disown their kids.

No such thing as Zodiac sign compatibility 

A good chinese name for baby is not based on the Zodiac animal sign on the year of birth. It is based on the entire Birth (bazi) chart year, month, day and time of birth. So there is no such thing as certain chinese characters suit certain zodiac animals.

For example one website stated that person born in Year of Ox required grass 草 部首的字 e.g. 艺, 艾, 苗, 華 because cow feed on grass. i am thinking if tiger feed on meat 肉部首 e.g. 肚, 肝, 胎, 胖. As for dragon not sure what is the menu?

Auspicious Chinese Name is to find a bazi solution

A person’s birth profile is broadly classify as “Standard” or “Special”.

Standard bazi classification reduce Day Master’s strength when it is strong and enhance it when weak so as to achieve balance. Special bazi classification is direct opposite to standard correction formula.

Sometimes it is not about evaluating a strong or weak day master but measuring the “temperature” of a person’s by birth month. For instance a Fire day master born in summer (Jun) is too hot and Water born in winter (Dec) is too cold. Imagine a “metal” person born in summer, it melts and freezes in winter. Hence the selection for an auspicious baby name is to mitigate the situation.

Sometimes the character selection for chinese name is to find a “mediator” between 2 conflicting elements. E.g. the clash of Fire and Water needed “wood” to correct the conflict.

Bazi life aspects falling short

In any birth structure all important aspects of life are represented e.g. health, relationship, career, wealth, parents etc. Sometimes a favourable element may fall short or destroyed entirely by another element. An auspicious chinese name fill in the void.

Take for instance below is a strong “water” person and does not possess sufficient wood which are “talents” OR fire represented as “wealth”. This will impede the child’s life when he or she grows up.

A well known chinese saying goes like this, “Instead of giving your child gold, teach him a skill. Instead of teaching him a skill, bestow a good name upon your child.”
(“赐子千金，不如教子一艺。教子一艺，不如赐子好名。”).

Instant Computer-generated Chinese Name

There are some express auspicious Chinese Name service where turnaround time is within an hour that is “mass-produce” from computer-generated software. The software is based on a fixed algorithm to match auspicious numerology sequence 三才五格. It provides no help because the program does not analyse your child’s bazi lucky or unlucky elements.

Getting an auspicious name is one of the great Chinese wisdom to give your child a headstart in life. Since we can’t alter our bazi and change our luck, don’t deprive your child from this lifetime gift. He will appreciate your unconditional love when he grows up.

An Auspicious chinese name last a life time

A person’s name is like a brand. Choosing an auspicious Chinese name is a very personal thing. If your name is not done accurately, it does not sound good and it makes things difficult for your child to have a smooth journey in life.

One’s destiny depends on the birthday and the name represents one’s vitality. A good name invites praises and good feeling from others. It will cut down some unnecessary troubles, unhappiness, calamity and further improve your baby’s health and stability.

There are 2 popular formulas to calculate birth profile, one is Zi Wei Dou Shu (purple star) birth reading and the other Zi Ping bazi. Let’s explore Zi Wei birth reading methodology as Zi Ping bazi is covered in previous articles.

命由天定，运由己造

ZiWei stage of life

Our parent give birth to us – destiny palace, having brothers & sisters, got married and have children see the transition palace in anti-clockwise direction. Zi Wei uses the trinity of 3 palace plus the opposite call 三方四正 to analyse aspects of our life.

Let’s use Destiny palace as an example. When we were born we came to meet the outside world-External, needed money-Wealth and as life progresses we need to earn a living. Destiny palace analyse who we are, our abilities, talents, intelligence and value system. Career shows our attitude to work, working conditions and job satisfaction.

Wealth palace is our view with money, the way we manage, sources of income and how we spend it.  External palace refers to  the outside world such as working environment, how people perceive us and how we view the world etc.

Zi Wei supplement your life directions

ZiWei Birth chart is static. Technically no good or bad chart. A good zi wei purple star chart can go bankrupt and a bad natal chart can also be rich and famous, it depends on how we manage our life breaks and falls i.e timing.

Once life journey begins our birth chart becomes active. As we move through life different stages Zi Wei call it 10-year 大限, 1-year  小限 and current zodiac year 流年. Then we encounter good or bad years. How we respond and how we act affects our future. What makes Zi Wei unique is 12 palaces respond on different aspect of life at the same time line. By having a road map of your life, you can anticipate and prepare what is ahead.
