Master Chan 曾 – Birth Reading 八字用神
Chinese birth reading is a complex and intricate tool designed to understand a person’s talents, strengths, weaknesses, value system, motivations, potential etc. And plot out life’s journey opportunities, detours, and obstacles.
5 Keys to indepth analysis to find bazi most beneficial element :
子平真诠-进士沈孝瞻：八字用神，专求月令，以日干配月令地支，而生克不 同 ，格局 分焉 。 财官印食 ，此用神之 善 而 顺 用之者也 ；杀伤枭刃 ，此用神之不 善 而 逆 用之者也。当 顺 则 顺 ，当 逆 则 逆 ，配 合 得 宜 ， 皆 为 贵 格。
Structure (格局 – Ge Ju): Chart’s dominant influence E.g. Wealth Structure. The purpose is to define a person’s natural talent, career trajectory, and life blueprint.
Medicine (病药 – Bing Yao): Weighing the Birth Month into the equation. E.g. Yi Wood born in Winter no matter weak or strong needs Fire.
Climate (调候 – Tiao Hou): Calibrates the chart based on seasonal temperatures (e.g., introducing Water to cool a scorching summer chart, or Fire to warm a freezing winter chart).
Mediator (通关 – Tong Guan): A diplomatic bridge between two conflicting elements, convert conflict into harmony.
Fitness (扶抑 – Fu Yi): Assessing Day Master innate Strength against the other 7 characters of Fate.
Added on to it’s complexity, there are other structural concerns such as 空亡, 真从格, 刑, 冲, 破, 害 暗拱 夹拱 半合/会 三合/会 etc.
bazi calculator and AI
Today one can easily use the bazi calculator mobile app and online AI. The core objective of birth reading or bazi reading is understand your life’s Most Beneficial Element. I tested online, mobile and some masters bazi calculation, some use solar time and some do not.
It is confusing to know who is the real deal? Which calculator is accurate and which is not? Understand it wrongly mess up your life’s planning.
Bazi Most Beneficial Element – Life’s blueprint
Take above example. Bing Fire Day Master born in Autumn season without Wood or Fire support, most would quickly jump to the conclusion that this is a Weak Bing Fire profile and the most favourable elements are either Wood or Fire 八字用神:木火. Wrong!
First one have to understand the difference between Yin and Yang Day Master. Bing Fire is Yang like the Sun generates its own heat through nuclear fusion whereas Ding Fire Yin is like candlelight flame or laser. When come to analysing one can lump “fire” in general.
滴天髓 丙火 – 五阳皆阳 丙为最!
丙火猛烈，欺霜侮雪。能煅庚金，从辛反怯。土众生慈，水猖显节。虎马犬乡，甲来成灭。欺霜 侮雪 means in Autumn or Winter 0 °C or lower poses no problem with the Sun.
Second, Month, Day and Time roots form trilogy of Water element 申子辰 三合 壬水 七杀局 7 Killing Water structure and strong. Due to the intensity of Water, we need to find a solution within the Bazi structure that controls or reduces Water. Wu Earth is found in the Month column and rooted by Year. Earth controls Water 戊土 克 壬水.
Do Not trust AI or bazi calculator totally
So if you use chatgpt or AI or bazi app the conclusion is Weak Fire needing Wood or Fire. The analysis is wrong. This is one of my client’s bazi, most of the masters he seek got it wrong telling him that Wood is the most lucky element. In fact Wood conquers Earth so Wood is his Most unfavourable element. His most beneficial element 八字格局用神 is Earth and NOT Wood.
Therefore his Bazi Structure most beneficial Element is Earth 食神制杀.
五言独步 ： “有杀 (7 Killings) 先论杀，无杀方论用”
Equipped with this knowledge, Wu Earth his best element, one is able to predict that during Wu Earth 10 years or Annual luck cycle is favourable. Wood on the other hand is the most unfavourable element 忌神 specifically Jia Wood 甲木 because 枭神夺食, 逢枭不贫则夭 is extremely Bad!
Finding out our bazi beneficial and unfavourable elements is the Most Important aspect in Bazi reading. It provides foresight into our future helping us to navigate our life ups and downs better.
10 Year Luck pillar forecast “bull” or “bear” or flat cycle ? What proactive actions we can do? Should we adjust our expectations and goals? How about having plan B and plan C in place.
By now you will realised that Chinese Birth Reading is to raise awareness, effort and doing the right thing at the right time.
10-year luck forecast 十年大运
Chinese Bazi reading calculates one cycle of ten years, or one Luck pillar. Each duration of ten years is considered one cycle, which can be good or bad depending on your Bazi Beneficial elements 八字用神喜神. The timeline for the predicted events may not be entirely accurate due to individual decisions and actions, as well as influences from the country, economy, and world events, which can cause these events to occur earlier or later than predicted.
Don’t Micromanage your life
Sometime annual luck reading is necessary if you are in a bad spell of luck.
Micromanaging your life can lead to negative thoughts and a lack of confidence. Do not let Destiny or Fate control you. With effort and discipline, you can improve your character and daily routine. Many struggle with accepting unchangeable things and focus on negatives instead of positives.
The debate between birth and luck is common. A person’s birth determines their initial assets or liabilities. A billionaire’s child does not worry about basic needs, while a poor family’s child struggles to make ends meet.
Luck influences comes to play if we are referring to 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.
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 common feedback from bonus bazi reading tips (feng shui consultation) “even” with practical advise on character tweaking, health exercise, timing, feng shui directions/locations, education courses to take etc… most clients would still asked “so how do i improve my luck?” Most wanted a quick fix without any effort. seriously! 😀
For e.g. “tao hua” enhancement, i asked the client to engage in social dating sites on certain locations, directions and dates and if the client is not prepared to do so, what do you think is the likely outcome?
Lucky amulets
Chinese birth reading is not a get-rich-quick formula like wearing 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 with. Stuff like lack of self-belief, confidence, purpose, courage or even as simple as accepting who we are.
Law of Positive Attraction
Understanding one’s Chinese birth reading can provide insights into potential life directions. This information may be used to set intentions and make informed decisions, rather than relying on random chance.
Hence tools like positive self-affirmations, mediation, feng shui home, office, auspicious chinese name, qi men dun jia directions and others help 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 chance. Planning through Chinese birth reading, education, or other life improvement methods helps lead to a better and happier life.
