The Hidden Meaning of 'Burial/Grave'


Student called to ask about the term 'Grave (墓)' (also known as Burial) that was being mentioned in the Bazi Daily (dated 14/10/2009).

The term Grave / Burial (can be used interchangeably) sounds so negative that it seems to associate with life & death of the Day Master. Without doubt, the enquirer's bazi chart do carry a number of Burial.

Burial is nothing more than one of the stages in 12 Natural Stages of Heavenly Stems (天干十二长生) which is being used to assess the relative strength of the DM (as well as Heavenly Stems) in relation to the Earthly Branches.

Literally, what does the word 'Burial / Grave' refer to?

Yes, it means retract, man / object is buried in the coffin, unclear, hidden, not obvious ......

Needless to say, the supporting strength of Burial / Grave to DM is minimal.

Other than approaching it from the perspective of assessing the relative strength, we can also enhance our understanding by expanding the literal meaning of the word 'Burial / Grave'.

Comments on the above are most welcomed!
