正印是正派的意思。所以日主有正印在天干会表现得正气。

Literal Translation:-

Primary Resource Deity connotes decent & upright. Hence, if Primary Resource Deity appears in the Heavenly Stem, we can conclude that one's appear to be righteous & fatherly (or motherly).

要是财坐空亡，别人跟你借钱，你通常是拿不回的。

Should the Wealth Deity is sitting above the Star of Void (空亡), one may have difficulty in receiving the money back from loan.

月柱为兄弟宫，月支被冲则表示与兄弟（包括姐妹）的关系不佳。

Literal Translation & Elaboration:

Siblings can be represented by the Month Pillar. The destructive & controlling relationship between the month pillar & the other pillars (namely the Year &/or Day Pillar) connotes the relationship with the siblings.

In the event of the clashes with the month pillar, the relationship with the siblings may be poor.

Since the month pillar also represents the parents, the same principle can also be applied when ascertaining the relationship with parents.

I would like to express my sincere appreciation to those who involved in the search for the so-called 'correct' academic explanation.

I would like to share with you on my approach & analysis for your consideration.

First of all, I feel that it is important to fix a 'point of reference' to represent my mom. Automatically, my instinct told me to choose Day Stem Jia (of 25 Nov 2009) to represent my mom.

It was coincidentally that the Jia wood happened to be the Primary Resource of my DM - Ding. This raises my confident level greatly, but also causes me to have neglected some other even more important aspect (see below explanation).

After chosen the Day Stem (Jia) to represent my mom, I need to select another important variable to represent my mon's house. Naturally, the Resource Deity to Jia wood (i.e. Hai water) became my choice.

Besides being the Resource Deity, Hai water is also the Growth Stage (长生) to Jia wood. The growth stage represents original place of birth, hence I concluded that my mom was at the old home. But, it was WRONG! My mom was at the new home :-(

After some deep thoughts, I found that I have entirely overlooked the existence of Yi wood in the month stem.

It is without doubt that Hai is the Growth Stage to Jia (i.e. my mom), BUT it is also the Secondary Resource Deity to Jia wood, representing connection but not too close.

Hence, my (reversed engineering) interpretation revealed that the original place of living (Growth Stage) have now became not so close, so I shouldn't have concluded she was at old home.

Instead, the Yi wood (of month stem) is sitting directly above the Hai water (month branch) which is also the Growth Stage to wood, but the relationship is now closer as it is the Primary Resource Deity. Also, not forgetting the fact that Month Pillar represents Parents Palace.

Sanjay viewed it from the perspective of Xu - the fire pool (that represents my original place of birth). However, point have to be taken that the SUBJECT in question is my mom, NOT ME! So, should have used her original place of birth or stay as a reference.

Sanjay had made an interesting observation that the Resource Deity is sitting on the Traveling Horse, hence movement is inevitably. Well Done, Sanjay! My mom had to move quite a lot to shift some of her own stuff. For your information, she is going to Malaysia for an holiday on 28 Nov 2009.

I also tried to reason out, academically, what attributed to my wrong interpretation. I thought it could have due to the clash between Wei & Xu earth, whereby both the Ding fire (my DM) underneath the earth are being affected.

One last interesting observation that I have discovered is that both the Wood (Jia & Yi) is sitting on Hai & Xu. Accordingly, Hai & Xu represents Qian (乾) trigram and, hence, North West sector. My mon is shifting her home within the West to North-West sector of Singapore.

Reply to Sanjay's Posting :

Fm : Sanjay …. Your DM is Ding Chou. Jia is your Primary (Direct) Resource, which also represents your mother.

Both Yolanda & you have approached it correctly, i.e. to link my DM with the Day Stem of 25 Nov 09.

Although it is not necessarily to make such a linkage, but doing so would facilitate our analysis.


Fm : Sanjay … Xu has Ding as a minor Qi -- this palace also represents your home. Therefore, on Nov. 25 your mom was in the home where you grew up -- i.e. your old home.

I like your imaginative mind by associating fire pool (i.e. the grave) to represent my home. However, I committed similar mistake when making such deduction to locate my mom.

To : Yolanda

...Jia direct resource sitting on Xu earth.... she has moved and settled in new home.

In term of the approach & methodology, you are getting closer by connecting the Day Stem (25 Nov) with my DM (i.e. Ding fire).

I like the concept of Jia wood sitting (i.e. settling) on Xu earth.

... Jia is next to Yi indirect resource ... was she in the company of a close friend or relative?

This is a very interesting observation & valid deduction. Theoretically, it is perfectly sound to make inference that she was being accompanied by a close friend or her siblings (i.e. about her age). My younger niece, however, was with her that day.

Yolanda, you have expanded my scope of view by considering the people that was with her. I thank you for that.

Reply to MB's Posting :-

Fm MB … highlighted in red Jia and Hai as a hint

You are playing cheat :-)


However, the highlighted one was not intended to be the hint in anyway.


Fm MB … Jia (Yin) – Hai combines to form wood, or ; Jia (Yin) – Hai forms destruction relation


I have not heard of the above theory. Hence, no comment!



Fm MB ... can the combination or destruction happen between Stem and Branch….
Normally, we do not consider the destruction relationship in that manner (i.e. between stem & branch). I would rather view it as the ‘impact’ they have on each other.

For instance,

甲
寅　　　　 The strength of the Jia is being reinforced by the Yin.

甲
庚　　　　　The strength of the Jia is being ‘diminished’ by the Shen metal.

As for the combination between stem & branch, it is the theory that has been tested as usable. However, would not like to introduce further for the fear of causing confusion.


Fm MB ... I read somewhere (too many where, I cant remember clearly now where!)…

That is the common problem faces by many bazi enthusiasts. Don’t just read, make a note & try to understand the concept. It would be more constructive.


FM MB ... earth clash can mean moving… already in her new home….


I would rather view the clash as the ‘changes’ that had taken place. But, I don’t really see the link between the clash and the shifting.


Note :


As I am having some personal commitment for the present moment, the reply (to various answers posted) shall be made as and when I am available.


I would like to invite more postings for this ‘guessing game’ that I, myself, interpreted incorrectly.

Bazi Daily - 27/11/2009

Just received a SMS from Fengshui 316 (as below) :-

命局内有寅、戌组合的人，容易被狗咬。

(That is : The existence of Xu & Yin combination in the natal chart carries the implication that the DM has higher chances of being bitten by dog [as Xu represents Dog])

He asked me on my opinion on the above.

Practically & realistically, we have to ask ourselves where the person is living. If he/she lives in the urban area, the chances of being bitten is much more lower then those stay in the 'kampong'.

Then, we may argue that how about being bitten by the pet dog. If that is the case, theoretically, I would deem that the chances is higher as the combination (between Xu & Yin) implies intimacy.

If the resultant element (of such combination) is favorable to the DM, the bite implies intimacy between the pet and the owner. If it is unfavorable, the bite would be severe & harmful.

Cat & tiger (Yin) refers to same grouping in term of animal classifications. We can further expand the possibility from the above deduction to include being bitten by Cat and, perhaps, tiger :-)

If you wish, we may even further include those indivduals that are born in the years of dog & tiger...

The deductions mentioned above add more fun to our study, though it is not the main dish.

Foretelling Daily Activity

I did mentioned in one of my postings (please refer to Bazi Daily - 13/11/2009) that my mother is going to shift her house.

Below is the bazi chart that I have erected for the day of 25 Nov 2009 (Wednesday) whereby I visited her.

辛　甲　乙　己
未　戌　亥　丑

Though, like all of you, I am a true lover of Chinese Metaphysics, I don't normally erect bazi chart for my daily activities as it would be very troublesome and 'restrictive'.

The reason for me to erect the chart was that I couldn't get in touch with my mother where she is (old house or new house) as the home phone has already been cancelled.

The purpose of erecting the above chart is to try to 'predict' where my mother was. Can you tell where she was - at the old house or new house - from the chart?

Bazi Daily - 26/11/2009

Freedom Fighter vs Restlessness vs Movements

I have touched on the subject of restlessness that is due to the strong presence of Implicit & Explicit Talents (please refer to the Bazi Daily – 25/11/2009).

Today, I shall continue the subject by introducing some other factors that associate with movement & restlessness.

1. The presence of Traveling Horse (驿马)

The term itself is already self explanatory – it denotes ‘movement’, search for freedom & seldom stay at home.

According to my practical experiences, movement can refer to either :-

- physical movement (i.e. move from place to place, company to company, etc) ; &/or
- psychological movement (unsettled mind, i.e. the mind can wander around without noticing)

2. Clashes between pillars, stems &/or branches

Clashes will change the property of the involved elements (stems & branches).

For instance, if the wood is being clashed / conquered by the metal, the energy of the wood will be weakened. That is to say, there is a CHANGE due to such a clash.

Hence, too much of clashes denotes instability and, therefore, contributes to restlessness.

Bazi Daily - 25/11/2009

凡是八字食伤旺盛的人，容易忙忙碌碌。

Literal translation:-

According to TH Teo, strong presence of Implicit & Explicit Talent denotes movement & restlessness.

Have you ever wonder why?

Individuals with strong Implicit & Explicit Talent are normally a person that is full of curiosity. They get excited easily with new things, matters, objects and, even, people.

They are very keen & enjoy exploring new experiences. Once the current one is satisfied, they will look for some other ‘newer, exciter, fresher...’ activities.

It is no wonder they are always seem to be so busy.

Alcoholic…. Are you the potential one?


Are you the potential candidate that can be addicted to alcohol?

My apology if the term used sounds too strong to you. However, from the perspective of bazi chart analysis, there are some obvious telltale signs that indicate the DM could be the ones that ‘enjoy’ alcoholic drink.

Below are the some for your information :-

1. The chart is too hot & water (i.e. liquor or wine) is needed to cool the chart (i.e. body) down ;

2. Strong presence of Earth (especially DRY earth) and water (i.e. alcohol) is needed.

3. Strong presence of Wood to ‘suck’ the water (alcohol)

Bazi & Diet

Bazi is an effective tool not only in deciphering a person's behaviour &, hence, destiny. It can also be used in knowing an individual physical surrounding, health...... & even the eating habit.

Spoken to a lady recently after the seminar & she mentioned that she can't take 'pork' (FYI, she is a Chinese, not Muslim). She will either vomit or experiencing indigestion after taking the pork.

This excite me & arouse my interest in scrutinizing her bazi :-)

She is a Yin Earth person, born in the month of Wei (earth) & the hour of Mao (yin wood). To me, the answer is very clear......

I would like to invite you to furnish & share your view point & answer to the above question :-)

要是财被印合去，可以代表花钱去买资料、学习的用品。



Literal Translation:-

Like all of you, I am a true lover & serious enthusiast to the science & art of Chinese Metaphysics.

Also, like you, I have spent substantial amount of my 'hard earned' money in purchasing books & attending courses.

After reading the abovementioned tip contributed by Feng Shui 316, I, then, being enlightened that it is already reflected in my natal chart :-)

According to Feng shui 316, whenever the Resource Deity is being combined 'away' (合去) by the　Wealth Deity, money will be spent on courses or course materials / books for learning purposes.

If we were to further expand our understanding, it could also apply to our luck cycle (大运) or our annual luck cycle (流年).


For instance, if the Resource Deity (印星 - representing learning) appears in your natal chart and is being combined by, say, your annual luck cycle (流年), we can conclude & deduce that a portion of your will money will be allotted for the purpose of learning (such as attending courses, buying books) on that particular year.


Thank you, my dear friend, Feng Shui 316. I have learnt one more new idea from you :-)

Yin & Yang vs Health

Yin denotes the energy that is flowing downward and is, normally, represented by Metal & Water. Hence, when there is abundance of unfavorable yin energy in the chart, the possible ailment that DM may suffer is normally related to the lower part of the body.

Yang, on the other hand, denotes the energy that is flowing upward and is, normally, represented by Wood & Fire. Hence, when there is abundance of unfavorable yang energy in the chart, the possible ailment that DM may suffer is normally related to the upper part of the body.

Decoding the relationship between the DM and the Parents

Generally speaking, the relationship between the kids & the parents can be described as good, poor or neutral.

Today, I am going to share with you on how to decode this different layer of relationships.

Since the main concern now is on decoding the relationship with the parents, we have to FOCUS our analysis on the favorability of the Resources Deity (representing mother) or Wealth Deity (representing father).

Below serve as a quick guide for your analysis:-

If the deity concerned is favorable 　　= 　the relationship is good

If the deity concerned is unfavorable 　= 　the relationship is poor

If the deity concerned is neutral 　　　= 　the relationship is neutral

For instance, the Resources Deity is most needed when the DM is weak. Hence, we can conclude that the relationship with the mother is close & good.

X　甲　癸　X

X　X　X　X

Food for thoughts:-

Below is also an instance whereby the Resource Deity is favorable to DM. However, the position of Yin Water (i.e. the Resources Deity) is located elsewhere:-

X　甲　X　X

X　X　X　癸

Can you detect any differences in term of the relationship?

Kinship & Relationship with Family Members
(Part 03)

I have listed the full representation of 10 deities to different family members. It is normally referred to as the 'star' (星).

Other than the star, the other equally important aspect that we need to consider or evaluate is the status of 'Palaces' (宫). Technically, in Chinese, the term is referred to as 星宫同参 (read & pronounce as Xing Gong Tong Can in Chinese), meaning we have to consider (or take reference) both the Star & the Palace.

Below are the Four Pillars & Family Relationships

Year Pillar　　　Palace of Grandparents / Parents (祖父母宫／父母宫)

Month Pillar　　Palace of Parents / Siblings (父母宫／兄弟宫)

Day Pillar　　　Palace of Spouse (夫妻宫)

Hour Pillar　　　Palace of Children (子息宫)

In the coming postings (on the subject of Kinship), I shall elaborate further details on how to integrate both the star & the palace.

APEC Singapore 2009 & Life Analysis

2009 marks Singapore’s turn as host of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (or APEC), the intergovernmental grouping that seeks to facilitate economic growth, cooperation, trade and investment in the Asia-Pacific region.

I have the honoured to be invited by the Organizing Committee to provide Bazi Analysis to the renowned politicians and delegates from countries such as Canada, USA, Hong Kong, Taiwan, China, Australia, etc.

The response was overwhelming and the requests from the distinguished guests to have destiny read have to put a stop due to the time constraints.

Today, I would like to share with you on one of the interesting charts that I have read. From the ways peoples surrounded him showed their utmost respects to him, I believed he must be a person holding certain respectable position.

Male Chart :-

丙　 　己　　丙　　丙
子　　 卯　　申　　戌

The conversation was great & open. And, towards the end, he acknowledged (faithfully) to my analysis and promised he would observe my advice. The reason is simply that he deemed it to be extremely constructive.
.
But, just before the end of our conversation, he asked me a question : Do you think I am happy?

How would you answer?

Bazi Daily - 16/11/2009

天干比劫为忌时，表示同事、朋友关系不好。地支比劫为忌时，表示兄弟不和。


Literal Translation & Interpretation:-

We know that Amiable & Competitive Deity (比肩、劫财) can be used to represent sibling, colleagues, school mates, course mates, cousin, associates, friends......

When it is favourable to DM, all the above mentioned personnel can be helpful to the DM. However, when it is unfavourable to DM, the reverse is also true. In this situation, it can be deemed as competitors, scheming individuals.....

We may then ask, since there are so many different representations, how can we know (confidently & accurately) which individual it is referred to in term of, say, relationship with DM.

When the Amiable &/or Competitive Deity is unfavourable & is appeared in the Heavenly Stems, it connotes poor relationship. Since Heavenly Stem represents outer (as compared to Earthly branch that denotes inner), the parties involved in such situation could be individuals that is not part of the family members, such as friends, colleagues and the likes.

When the Amiable &/or Competitive Deity is unfavourable & is appeared in the Earthly Branches, it also connotes poor relationship. But, in this instance, it refers to family members (i.e. inner) such as sibling or cousin. It could also refers to close or intimate friends.

Once again, the concept of Yin & Yang applies

.... intimacy & remote

Foretelling Daily Activity

For the day of Metal

Guess what have happened to me (Ding Chou's day pillar) on 12/11/09 - the day of Xin You ([辛酉])?


Had been exchanging view points with some of the bazi enthusiasts (Sanjay & Fengshui 316) on the subject of predicting daily activity. Get really, really... excited & wanted to find out even more :-)


Erected the bazi chart for the day of 12 Nov '09 before I went to bed. Sensing the presence of strong unconventional wealth, I thought I might have the chance of meeting ex-girlfriend or, at least, to receive an email or a call from her (Oops..... hope that my wife doesn't mind).


But the relationship had already gone with the wind.... long ago......

For my own learning purpose, I have made a brief review. Below is the brief descriptions of the activities that had taken place and an attempt to ascertain to see is there any linkage(s) with the theory of bazi :-

Bazi for the day of 12/11/09　　　　My Day Pillar

X　　辛　　乙　　己　　　　　　　　　　丁
X　　酉　　亥　　丑　　　　　　　　　　丑

1. Went to my mother's house who happens to live in the western part of Singapore.

The answer is obviously due the presence of strong metal energy that attracted me to the west.

Month branch Yi wood is my Secondary Resource Deity (偏印). There are a few interesting observations & interpretations :-

- Secondary Resource Deity can be used to represent my 'not so-close' house as I have shifted out the house after my marriage ;

- Yi wood is sitting (or floating) above the strong water. And there is a saying : Wood floats with strong current / water (水多木漂). Since Yi (the Resource Deity) is floating and is likely to move from place to place... We can confidently make the assumption that things or matters associated with Resource Deity will move, float, relocate,....

The fact is that my mother (i.e. resource deity = mother) is going to shift (or relocate) her existing house (i.e. resource deity = house). That is the reason I visited her & her house. The house that I had stayed for at least 20 years before my marriage. I went over there to 're-collect' all my sweet memories (resource deity = thinking process, memories).

2. Visited the National University of Singapore (NUS) where I had spent a number of years there for the pursuance for my first degree.

NUS is situated just a few bus stops from my mother's house. That is to say, it is also located in the Western part of Singapore where it is dominated by the energy of metal.

Of course, we can also view it from the perspective of Compound Stars (神煞). You metal is my Academic Star (文昌) & is being combined with my day branch Chou (丑).


3. Attended my best friend's father Wake.

Chinese do believe that persons passed away will have their final home at the West (metal). Coincidentally, according to my best friend, the cause of his father death was due to the complication in his liver & stroke as a result. It is related to wood and being choked by the metal.

(Note : The activities or the places that I have visited were all unplanned for)

伤官在天干者，会发生正面冲突；伤官在地支者，则暗中报复。

Literal translation:-


Besides denoting talent & expressiveness, Explicit Talent also represents the emotional aspect of an individual.

As a guide, when the Explicit Talent appears in the Heavenly Stem(s), should there be any disagreement, the DM will fight for his/her own rights openly & relentlessly.

However, when it is only appeared in the Earthly Branch(es), he/she will still fight for his/her own right, but would choose to do it secretly & unknowingly.

In the worst scenario where it is too strong & is unfavorable, the individual may take the revenge seriously, but quietly & secretly.

Individual with abundance of Implicit & Explicit Talents in the chart, is normally the person that is smart & witty. They are open minded & is willing (or daring) to challenge the status quo and go against social norms.

They are very sensitive to external environment as well as peoples they meet. Though they are sentimental, but can be emotional at times. You can identify his/her hatred & loves easily.

Marriages ~ Blissful or A Mess

Marriage is a social union or legal contract between individuals that creates kinship. It is an institution in which interpersonal relationships, usually intimate and sexual, are acknowledged by a variety of ways, depending on the culture or demographic.

Regardless of the culture & races, we all do hope to have a blissful marriage ever….

However, there are times whereby marriages just could not work out. The trend is, in fact, getting worse.

Being one of the most effective tools in forecasting the future, bazi can readily identify (in advance) the possible detrimental factors that exist in a bazi chart.

Below are some of the factors contributed to unsuccessful marriages :-

1. Abundance of combinations (八字多合) within the chart；
2. In addition to combination, there is also presence of Flower of Romance (桃花) and/or Hong Yan (红艳) &/or Bath (沐浴)；
3. Presence of direct & indirect spouse stars simultaneously

a. for a male chart, presence of both Conventional & Unconventional Wealth deities;
b. for a female chart, presence of both Proper & Imposing Authority deities.


Individual with above configuration / arrangement in the bazi chart are normally the person that is very sociable, especially to the opposite gender (due to the presence of abundance of combinations).

They are charming, friendly, understanding and helpful (due to the presence of Flower of Romance).

Hence, they can be very popular & are most welcomed or ‘loved’ by opposite genders.

They are, however, very passionate and can, easily, get ‘touched’ emotionally & physically (Bath & Hong Yan). They don’t really know how to handle his/her emotion & affection. They can fall in love easily and are extremely weak in resisting temptation.

Hence, this is the group of individuals that can get ‘trapped’ easily emotionally. As a result, they tend to have more lovers, prone to secret love affairs and, the worse, divorce.


Is there any way to prevent the above from happening? The answer is AFFIRMATIVE!

First of all, the individual have to recognise the fact that he/she is over ‘affectionate’ & can be over ‘friendly & helpful’ (especially to the opposite gender). Then, what he/she should do is to avoid extending the helping hand on a one-to-one basis. Make it a group activity; let the entire group to show the concern to the person that needs helps.

Individual with the presence of Bath, Hong Yan & Flower of Romance simultaneously (or at least 2) in the chart is the person with quite strong sexual desires. Hence, take up more regular exercise to ‘exhaust’ excessive energy.

As for the family members (especially the spouse), we need to express our love (both verbally & physically) more frequently. The person is simple, they are affectionate and can ‘get touched’ easily.

Your Family Tie....

论六亲关系的分离、聚合，必须‘同时’观察十神所代表的六亲和宫位。

若星、宫同时动摇，则有离象（何谓动摇？冲、刑、害皆为动摇）


若星宫同时会合，则有聚象（何谓会合？干合、支合皆为会合）

Literal Translation:-

Bazi can be used as an effective tool to decipher the relationship between the DM and his/her family members. We can tell whether their relationship are close, intimate or not in harmony.


In order to do so, we need to observe & evaluate, simultaneously, the deities & palaces that represent respective family members.


When both the Deity (for example Wealth Deity - represents father) & the Palace (i.e. Month Stem - also represents father) are being clashed at the same times, the relationship is considered to be shaky.


However, when both the Deity (for example Wealth Deity - represents father) & the Palace (i.e. Month Stem - also represents father) are being combined at the same times, does the reverse apply?


I don't think so, though the author of the book had pointed out the existent of intimacy relationship due to such double layer of combinations.


My reason is simple : any form of 'combination' (be it deities or palaces) may lead to the change of identity.


What if the Wealth Deity is being 'combined away' (合去) & become some other element (or deity)? This has the implication that the relationship would change from father and son to some other relationship...

Note :

The above was extracted from a book that I have read quite sometimes back. During the process of translation, I have made some slight moderation on the portion that I don't quite agreed with. Use your own discretion to choose the one that you deem appropriate & comfortable.

Foretelling Daily Activity (流日论断)
(Part 02)

Glad to notice that some of them have applied what they have 'picked up' from this blog :-)

I would like to share with you my personal experiences as well :-

(hope that the rest may share what you have experienced for learning purposes)

I was born with a 丁丑 day pillar. Guess what happened last Sunday (8 Nov 2009)?

It was a 丁巳 day (meaning my Amiable & Competitive Deity day) and, of course, representing high possibility of meeting friends. Indeed, it was :-)

Together with me & my son, my wife (Yang fire person) organized & invited her colleague & daughter (both are fire person as well) to Singapore Jurong BIRD Park.

Analysis :-

1. If was a fire day (丁巳), hence, the trip consists mainly of fire persons.

2. The day branch (巳) combined with 丑 (i.e. my spouse palace). Hence, the gathering involved my wife.

3. If we were to scrutinise carefully, my child star (Yin Water) is hidden inside the 丑 earth. We brought our son together for the trip.

4. Another possible explanation : My 4-years old son is a Yang Water person, given that 丁壬 combined, he came along as well.


I would like to pose a question for your thought :-

Is there any 'clue' from this manner of 'reverse engineering' whereby we can reasonably explain why I have visited the Bird Park?

一个八字，如果生在大热，或大寒的月令时，先不要管日元的强弱问题，而要先考虑调候的条件。


Literal translation:-

In the evaluation of any bazi chart, the ideal chart is where : -

- the DM is neither too strong, nor too weak ; and
- the chart is neither too cold, nor too hot.

It is, however, beyond our control to have such an ideal chart.

In the event of a chart that is too weak and, at the same time, too cold, we have to first address the issue of problematic climate before resolving the 'strength' (i.e. too weak) issue.

土多的人，酒量很好。因为，土能吸水！


Literal translation :-

As Earth is controlling (or absorbing) Water, it follows that DM with strong earth in his/her chart can be a good drinker.

Combinations & Clashes - Part 07

Combinations & Clashes
Part 07

Personally, I very much enjoy studying & writing information pertaining to the subject of Combinations & Clashes. It is very fulfilling personally & theoretically.

However, if too much of information were to release, this can simply cause more confusions to the beginners.

Try your best to understand the context within what were written here. Add on personal interpretation only when you have gained certain level of proficiency.

If you do not, at this moment, entirely comprehened the theory, re-visit this topic again some other times.

The concept of ‘Being Combined Away’ (合去)

Combination would affect the original identity (or nature) of the involving elements. If the condition is highly conducive for transformation to take place, the involving element(s) would change its original nature altogether to form a new identity (i.e. new element). In this situation, the element involved is being combined away (合去).

Example : Female Chart (坤造)

X　 庚　辛　丙
X　 X　 丑　子

Bing fire (the spouse star) is extremely weak in the winter season. During the process of combination with Xin metal, Bing can easily be transformed to some other element (in this scenario, water).

The conclusion, in this example, is simply the lost of husband to another woman.

Important Note :

The above is merely takes an easy way out to serve as an illustration. If, in any way, the above illustrated bazi resemble your bazi, don’t worry as there are more factors to consider before we can confidently draw such conclusion.

当官需要印和官，没有印，这个官就当不久了！官印相生，可以带来荣誉。



Literal Translation :-

To be an official, to hold an important appointment or to achieve a socially recognized reputation.... both the Primary Resources (正印) & Proper Authority (正官) have to be the favorable elements and are both appeared in the chart simultaneously.

The mere presence of Proper Authority (正官) implies that the person may be holding an important appointment, but without given actual authority.

Are you Self - Disciplined - Bazi can tell

How to tell whether a person is law obliging and is able to exercise self-disciplined?


First come into my mind is the presence of Proper Authority (正官) in the bazi chart. Proper Authority represents law obliging, able to control one's behaviors.

Others include : -

- the presence of Star of Aid (天乙贵人) ; or

- the presence of Star of Benevolence (天德贵人) & Star of Kindness (月德贵人) ; or

- the presence of favorable elements ; or

- the absence of unfavorable elements ; or

- the elements (in the chart) are harmoniously located (i.e. no severe clashes) ; or

- the list can goes no.......


Since we can tell from a chart, whether or not, a person is able to control his/her behaviours, we can also tell the reverse - such as whether a person is rebellious or not :-)

Would like to encourage you to post your comments!

Foretelling Daily Activity (流日论断)

To all the bazi enthusiasts,

Have you ever think of ways to sharpen your understanding on the concepts of 10 deities?

One of the best ways is to practice it on the daily basis. You can establish the daily (流日) 10 deities based on your Day Master.

For instance, if you are a Ding fire person and the Day Stem for particular day is Ji (己) earth, then the day is Deity of Implicit Talent (食神) to you. Anything related to the output might occur such as sudden interest in learning new skills, tasting new or good food …


The day of Amiable & Competitive Deity (比劫之日)

= knowing new friends,
= friends visiting,
= receiving e-mail from friends


The day of Wealth Deity (财星之日)

= receiving money, strike lottery
= spending, investment,…


The day of Authority Deity (官杀之日)

= receiving pressure from work
= receiving pressure from husband (female chart)
= receiving pressure from children (male chart)


The day of Resources Deity (印星之日)

= buying book
= feel like doing meditation
= visiting parents, teacher


In the event of both the Day Stem & Branch clashes simultaneously with your Day Pillar, it denotes urgent issue raise up unexpectedly that require your immediate action.

Try it :-) It is fun!

1% improvement daily

Wife asked me about the objective of sharing the knowledge in the blog daily, I told her that the reason is simply 'to learn through sharing'.

By committing myself to write daily, I am effectively learning & growing everyday. Just imagine by the end of a year from now, I would have accumulated at least 365 ideas. Agreed?

Similarly, to all the bazi enthusiasts, if you continually read the blog and/or any other book(s) on a daily basis persistently, you would have learned at least 365 new & old ideas. Agreed?


Would like to share with you another powerful statement that I have learned it from Robin Sharma :-

What you value in life increases in value. What you think about and focus on grows.

Wife also asked me on the objective of extending the invitation to readers to contribute articles and ideas. I told her the reasons by quoting the idea wrote by Robin Sharma in his book 'The Greatness Guide' :-


We are shaped by our conversations. We are influenced by the ideas we hear and the people we meet. Every person you meet knows at least one thing you don't.

When we go deep into listening to the person we are communicating with, when we allow them to share what they know, we have the opportunity to get behind their eyeballs and learn, grow and evolve into our highest and best.

Combinations & Clashes - Part 06

Combinations & Clashes

Part 06

Just a quick recap on the information I have covered so far on the subject of combinations :-

1. the combining elements have to be adjacent ;
2. if the combination involves the Day Master, with or without transformation, the DM will still remain its original nature.

Condition 3 that I am going to share today is similar to condition 2 whereby if the combination involves the Month Branch, with or without transformation, the Month Branch will still remain its original season.

For instance,

X　X　 X　辛

X　酉　巳　丑

It is clear from the above that Si - You - Chou combined and transformed to become the energy of metal (take note the presence of Xin metal in the heavenly stem that acts as a catalyst for such transformation).

However, regardless of the newly transformed element, the DM is still considered to have born in the season of summer.

In short, both the DM & Month Branch will remain its original nature even if the transformation takes place.

正印为保护之星。因此，命中带有正印的人，较会保护自己而较少生病。


Literal translation:-

Primary Resources Deity (正印) can protect DM from negative attack by Imposing Authority (七杀), it can be deemed as the protective shield to DM.

Accordingly, a person with Primary Resources Deity in the chart is the person that will take good care of himself or herself and is, therefore, healthy.

‘女命金水旺，必生美丽容’。

金水旺，又没有土来污浊的八字（女命），多半长得漂亮、可爱，皮肤白晰诱人。


Literal Translation:-

Can we tell from bazi chart whether a person is born pretty or handsome? The answer is affirmative.

One of the configurations that I can think of is where the metal (especially Xin metal) is being polished by the crystal clear water (i.e. no earth to pollute the clarity of water & metal). It is just like the shining of the jewelry, full of elegance.

"Competitive Deity / Amiable Deity wrestles for Wealth" (比劫夺夫)

Since we are in the subject of the relationship between Competitive / Amiable Deity & Wealth Stars, I would like to continue to introduce the above subject that most ladies show keen interests in knowing more about it.

“Competitive Deity wrestles for Wealth”and“Amiable Deity Contends for Husband”refers to the situation whereupon another (or numerous) Amiable or Competitive Deity appears in one’s chart or luck cycle and competes with the DM to combine with Proper Authority or Conventional Wealth.


Example (Female chart)

X 乙 庚 乙 where 庚 is the Spouse Star


When the abovementioned configuration appears in the chart or luck cycle, this is usually related to marriages and relationships. It could be : -

- triangular relationship ; or
- the spouse star being combined (meaning cohabitation) with other element (other woman) ;
- worse situation is where the spouse star is being transformed to some other identity :-(

The Misconceptions of Strong Parallel & Competitor Deities Fighting for Wealth (比劫夺财)

We all aware Wealth Deity (both Conventional & Unconventional Wealth 正财及偏财) represents father, girl friend & wife (applicable to male chart).

We also notice that Wealth Star dislike the presence of overly strong Parallel & Competitor Deities as the energy of both the Wealth stars can be severely diminished by it. Hence, in the olden days, kids (especially female) with such a chart would be 'given away', so as to avoid the bad luck that the kid(s) could bring to the family.

Is it so ?

Personally, I do not think so!

In actual fact, from this we can make the deductions on the DM’s character as :

1． intrinsically stubborn, unreasonable and obdurate
2． individualistic and reckless
3． poor financial management and quick dissipation of accumulated wealth


On the other hand, the harmful effect of Strong Self would reduce if there is a presence of Implicit &/or Explicit Talents Deities in the bazi chart. Both the output stars helps to act as a buffer & prevent the direct clashes between the wealth star and the parallel / competitors deities. The DM would, then, be deemed as articulatory & talented.

This is the beauty of Chinese Metaphysics - the study of nothing but changes.....

Bazi Daily - 03/11/2009

天下的父母都认为自己的子女是最好的。所以正印旺的八字，其人的缺点就是只照顾自己先。


Literal Translation :-

Primary Resource can be used to represent Parents (particularly, mother). By nature, parents tend to exhibit undividing loves to their children and believe that their child is unique and is the best.

Hence, a bazi chart that is strong in Primary Resources can have such negative trait as being selfish.
