4 Pillars & its Representations

4 Pillars of Destiny is formed by 4 different pillars, namely :-

Year, Month, Day & Hour Pillars.


Each of the different pillar can present different things.  For instance, 

Year Pillar      = Represents Age Range inbetween 1 - 16 year-old
Month Pillar   =  Represents Age Range inbetween 17 - 34 year-old
Day Pillar       = Represents Age Range inbetween 35 - 51 year-old & 
Hour Pillar      = Represents Age Range 52 year-old & above.  

Heavenly Stems   = represents Outer Behaviours
Earthly Branches  = represents Inner Self

The list goes on....

Appreciate if you want to share more....

The good life is inspired by love and guided by knowledge.

After stopping for a number of years, finally managed to 'move myself' for a LONG distance jog today.

I started jogging at about 3.45 pm (申hour) and stopped at 5.05 pm (酉hour).    Amazingly, after analysing my day pillar with the current Month (庚寅) and Day Pillar (癸丑), below are some of my interesting observations :-


My Day Pillar                       Current Month & Day Pillar (27 Feb 2011)
        丁　　　　　　　　　　　　癸　　庚
        丑　　　　　　　　　　　　丑　　寅


-  癸 (Water) as  my DM Imposing Authority (七杀) forces me to MOVE or taking action.

-  丑丑 presents a minor clash.   Clashes imply Movement as well (ie Jogging).
  
-  As the clashes involve Spouse Palace, my wife was not at home today.  

-  Deep inside the 丑 Earth,  we have 己，辛 & 癸 as hidden heavenly stems.
   Together with Yin (Wood) month, I was surprise to notice that the place of jogging fits nicely
   to those stems & branches.

   That is a Reservoir with Trees &, of course, water.  Ji Earth represents the small path :)

-  I ended my jogging at 酉 hour which happen to be the Death Stage of Ding Fire.

Injustice can be eliminated,

but human conflicts and natural limitations cannot be removed.

The conflicts of social life and the limitations of nature

cannot be controlled or transcended.

They can, however, be endured and survived.

It is possible for there to be a dance with life,

a creative response to its intrinsic limits and challenges ...

Different Types of Favorable Elements ~ Mediator

We have touched on the importance of Climatic Favorable Element in 'balancing' the chart. 

Today, I am going to share with you on the role & importance of Mediating Agent in balancing the chart. 

More often than not, we have been introduced to the concept of balancing the relative strength of DM & the remaining elements in the chart. 

BUT, have you ever wonder WHAT IF there is a STRONG presence of TWO (2) OPPOSING ELEMENTS (simultaneously) in the chart, such as :-  


X   庚   庚   辛
X   寅   寅   卯


In the above instance, there is a presence of TWO (2) Opposing Elements (namely, Metal & Wood) in the natal chart and causes unnecessary distrubance.

To resolve such a conflicting relationship, WATER (as a Mediating Agent) is needed.

Love life and life will love you back.

Love people and they will love you back.

Different Types of Favorable Elements

When we first started learning Bazi, we knew that Principle of Moderation is the ESSENCE of bazi.    Maintaining its Balance is important. 

Accordingly, if the Day Master (say, Wood) is too strong, we need energy to control, to exhaust the Strong DM.  In this instance:-

STRONG WOOD DM   =    Fire, Earth & Metal are needed.


The converse is also true.   Hence, when the Wood DM is weak, the above THREE (3) elements are needed to restore to its balance state. 


Yet, do you notice that when the chart is too cold or too hot, we also need to restore it to Balance State.


This is known as Climatic Favorable Element (调候用神).

Wars and elections are both too big and too small to matter in the long run.

The daily work - that goes on, it adds up.

伏吟

Other than Repetition, Fu Yin implies 'SPLIT' as well.    Hence, according to classical theory, individual with bazi that is Fu Yin are normally the person that is competitive, or not easy to get alone.

The word 'SPLIT' can also mean SEPARATION.   Hence, it could also attribute to unhappiness in marriages or interpersonal relationship.

People grow through experience if they meet life honestly and courageously.

This is how character is built.
