Annual luck reading secrets 八字流年秘訣

How do you interpret the combinations between a Bazi chart and annual luck period? The following pointers should help you to do Bazi annual luck readings. This article assumes you have basic Bazi knowledge and will not explain the why and how.

While 10-years-luck put emphasis on the branches, annual luck reading focuses on the stems. It reflects the event types of the interactions between each pillar stem for the year.

1. Annual luck combines with the daymaster (DM, chart owner) 流年合日主: For example, Geng-metal DM combines with the annual luck Yi-wood of 2025. DM does not feel good emotionally, face obstacles and make wrong decisions. DM should be conservative and avoid new venture or take risk for the year.

2. Annual luck combines with the +wealth star (zheng-cai) of natal chart 流年合正财: For example, Geng-metal DM's +wealth star is Yi-wood, combines with the annual luck Geng-metal of 2030-- DM may suffer major wealth losses. If Yi-wood is in year pillar, DM may suffer total loss of ancestral wealth. DM's wife may have chronic illness. Single male is prone to romance failure, married male's wife may have affairs or high chance of getting divorced. Older male may become widower.

3. Annual luck combines with the -wealth star (pian-cai) of natal chart 流年合偏财: For example, Geng-metal DM's -wealth star is Jia-wood, combines with the annual luck Ji-earth of 2029-- DM's father suffers illness or DM faces major wealth losses. Young male DM may get caught with affair or losing money due to lust or sexual traps. Older DM should wary of his/ her father's health condition. He may not survive.

4. Annual luck combines with the +power star (zheng-guan) of natal chart 流年合正官: For example, Geng-metal DM's +power star is Ding-fire, combines with the annual luck Ren-water of 2032-- Male DM may suffer legal problems, single woman is prone to romance setback, married woman's husband may have affairs or high chance of getting divorced. Older woman may become widow.

5. Annual luck combines with the -power star (Qi-sha) of natal chart 流年合七杀: For example, Geng-metal DM's -power star is Bing-fire, combines with the annual luck Xin-metal of 2031-- is favorable for weak but not strong DM. Female DM with only -power and no +power star, should beware of marital problems.

6. Annual luck combines with the +resource star (zheng-yin) of natal chart 流年合正印: For example, Geng-metal DM's +resource star is Ji-earth, combines with the annual Jia-wood of 2024 -- DM should pay attention to the health of his/ her mother, including the in-law. Weak DM may have problem getting helpful mentors/ noblemen.

7. Annual luck combines with the -resource star (pian-yin) of natal chart 流年合偏印: For example, Geng-metal DM's -resource star is Wu-earth, combines with the annual Gui-water of 2033 -- DM should keep his/her idiosyncrasies or temperaments private. Weak DM is unable to get helpful mentors/ noblemen.

8. Annual luck combines with the + or -peer star (bi-jian/ jie-cai) of natal chart 流年合比劫: For example, Geng-metal DM's +/- peer star are Geng- and Xin-metal combines with the annual Yi-wood of 2025 or Bing-fire of 2026-- DM should stay away from peers/ friends to block his/ her money leaking/losing channels.

9. Annual luck combines with the +output star (shang-guan) of natal chart 流年合伤官: For example, Geng-metal DM's +output star is Gui-water combines with the annual Wu-earth of 2028 -- single female DM will not be picky as before in mate-selection. Married couple would temporary stop bickering to fix marital relationship.

When there is no interaction between annual luck and the natal chart, DM will act out the characteristics of that annual luck. However, there are 3 scenarios meriting serious attention:

1. +Output star meeting +power star 伤官见官为祸百端: "Numerous disasters created when Shang-guan meets Zheng-guan". These disasters include predictable legal, wealth-losing, life-threatening and health problems.

2. -Resource star meeting -output star 枭印夺食: These disasters include unpredictable legal, wealth-losing, life-threatening and health problems.

3. Weak DM running into -power luck: DM suffers bloody event, lawsuits, backstabbing, losing wealth, divorce, accident and the likes.

The topic on how to interpret annual luck clashing the natal chart could be a possible future topic.

Year Pillar: changes in ancestral, grandparents/ parents
Month Pillar: work/ career changes
Day Pillar: changes in DM or marriage
Hour Pillar: changes within family or children

This is a basic "generic" annual reading outline of all 10 possible DMs without explanations. You could use the same basic format to read other years too. You or your Bazi reader would add the explanations, remedies and enhancements for the client (detail of the reading depends on how much is charged). A more accurate reading should also integrate your client's current 10-year-luck and natal chart into the analysis.

Please be aware that when adding annual luck and 10YL to the natal chart for analysis, there are possibilities that the favorable/ unfavorable elements may change for the year! For example, if fire is the favorable element in the natal chart, by change both annual luck and 10YL bring in 4 fire elements into the system, fire may become unfavorable!

Property acquisition method as reflected from your natal chart

Your birthday may have data showing how your real estate property is acquired. This is done by converting your birthday into a Bazi natal chart and check the distributions of different stars ("transformation star" or "10-gods").

If you do not know how to create a Bazi chart, you may search this blog archive or the web for
this info.

PROPERTY ACQUISITION SIGNALS IN BAZI

1. Chart with resource star (zheng-yin) and is favorable: Year and/or month pillar has resource star and DM (daymaster) also sits on a resource star; plus resource star is favorable for the chart-- DM is likely to inherit parental property OR parents take care of property acquisition for DM. Property purchasing timing likely in +/- peer luck year (bi-jian/ jie-cai year).

2. Weak DM with +/- peer star (Bi-jian/ Jie-cai) and unfavorable +/- power star (Zheng-guan/ Qi-sha): Chart with these conditions may purchase property due to peer or other pressure. DM is likely to borrow money or trying every possible means to buy a property.

3. Chart with unfavorable resource star (zheng-yin) and favorable +/- wealth star (Zheng-cai/ Pian-cai) to control resource star: Chart with these conditions may get unexpected help from "nobleman" or wealth luck to purchase property without any sweat or calculations.

4. Chart with resource (zheng-yin) and power star mutual nurturing: Year and/or month pillar has resource star with power star nurturing each other, day branch has +resource star-- DM (daymaster) may get property due to work benefit (employment/ career) or help from work.

In short, presence of resource star is a major factor in property purchase or ownership.

Marriage timing: Early or Late? 看早婚晚婚　

In the marital context of Bazi, wealth stars represent wife or mistress for male; power stars stand for husband or lover for female.

The enemy of wealth star is peer star because peer star "snatches" or steals wealth star in Bazi.

The enemy of power star is output star because output star "hurts" power star.

The above brief introduction may help you to understand the marriage timing summary below.

"Early marriage" means getting married before the age of 25.

"Late marriage" refers to marriage after age 30.

If you do not understand my version of Bazi terminology, please read the following article:

Ken's Cyber Cave: 4P/ Bazi Terminology Conventions (kenlaifengshui.blogspot.com)

MARRIAGE TIMING: EARLY VS. LATE

1. Natal chart stem level has "jealous combination", chart owner (daymaster or DM) likely has early marriage ("Jealous combination" is when two identical stems or branches combine with ONE stem or branch),

2. Natal chart has 3-meetings (San-Hui 三会) or 3-unities (San-He 三合), DM has early marriage tendency.

3. If the stem and branch of luck periods formed has 6-combinations 六合 or 3-unities with natal chart, DM will have higher probability of getting married during this 10-years-luck or annual luck period.

4. Strong male DM with strong wealth stars (Zheng-cai/ Pian-cai) but no peer stars (Bi-jian/ Jie-cai) in stem level, when running into wealth luck period (10YL or annual luck)-- marriage time.

5. Strong female DM with strong power stars but no output stars (Shi-shen/ Shang-guan) in stem level, when running into power luck period (Zheng-guan/ Qi-sha, 10YL or annual luck)-- marriage time.

6. Male DM with numerous peer stars but no wealth star (or wealth star is weak or imprisoned) and his first two 10-year-lucks are peer luck, he is prone to late marriage.

7. Female DM with numerous output stars but no power star (or power star is weak or imprisoned) and her first two 10-year-lucks are output luck, she is prone to late marriage.

8. Male DM has excessive strong wealth stars but is not qualify for "follow wealth" profile chart, is likely to marry late.

9. Female DM has excessive strong power stars but is not qualify for "follow power" profile chart, is likely to marry late.

"Rough destiny" or "Meng ying" 命硬

In traditional Chinese society, there is a saying of "meng ying 命硬". It literally means as "hard or rough destiny".

For examples, after someone has married, his or her spouse died unexpectedly soon after OR a new baby was born and his parents soon suffered major misfortune or even death. Consequently, this person or baby lives a miserable and lonely life. People may comment the person or baby involved as "meng ying". This implicitly accuses the person and baby "jinxing" their close relatives and themselves.

Another scenario would be: you may find some old people survive through wars, famines, severe illness/ injuries and misfortune, their family members are mostly dead, yet they still are alive but alone and may be even in destitute. Due to improvement of social welfare in modern societies, a modern version would be the same old people survive alone in institutions when all or most of their family members have died.

A more colloquial use of "meng ying" is to describe someone who escapes major disaster like being the the lone survivor of an airplane crash or battalion during wartime.

Strictly speaking, there is no such thing as "meng ying" in Bazi. The closest concept to "meng ying" is "strong daymaster with no support 身旺无依". This means a chart has a very strong daymaster (DM) with no wealth and power stars to drain it (but failing to become a special profile chart). This chart type usually associated with monk/nun/ Daoist or clergy people in traditional society and poor/ destitute people in modern society

CHARACTERISTICS OF "ROUGH DESTINY" CHART

1. The daymaster has relatively indomitable survival ability or "unsinkable"-- hard to die. S/he suffers frequent setbacks and misfortunes, but s/he usually can overcome or escape from death in catastrophes.

2. It implies "jinx", especially "loneliness jinx", jinxing self, parents and family members. DM is also likely a loner in nature. The "loneliness" here refers to the lacking of family relationship because DM's family members are either dead or separated.

There are two types of "rough destiny":

a. Solitary rough destiny (孤独命硬): This is the "strong daymaster with no support 身旺无依" type mentioned above. Summary meaning is: being poor and alone and likely with longevity.

b. Prosperous rough destiny (富贵命硬): This also has a strong DM chart but with good structure and/ or favorable luck periods. DM is alone eventually (jinxing family members) but s/he enjoys wealth and fame/ power with big ups and down in life. China's late Chairman Mao is an example of this type.

There are some methods to mitigate the negative effects of "rough destiny" Consult the course below for details:

Identify lazy people using only their birthday 懒人八字

Most people prefer not partner with or hiring lazy persons. This article discusses how to identify lazy people using only their date of birth with Chinese Bazi astrology. No probation or trial period needed.

BAZI CHART CHARACTERISTICS OF LAZY PERSONS

Chart with 3 or more resource stars (zheng-yin/ pian-yin): Resource stars represent senior generations, parental help, blessing and academic credentials. Chart with strong resource stars implies the chart owner ("daymaster", DM) is likely getting the blessing and support from his/ her seniors. S/he is prone to become dependent, lacking motivation to achieve more, conservative, traditional and physically weak. If annual luck comes another resource star, s/he is likely to be lazy and happy to keep "business as usual" and resistant to change.

Chart has NO wealth stars (zheng-cai/ pian-cai): In Bazi, wealth stars represent desires, abilities and persistence for goal attainment. People with no wealth star in their chart lacks motivation, willingness to work towards goals and look down on material gains and interests. This is like an engine without power and not moving much.

Chart with 3 or more -output stars (shi-shen): -Output star represents talent and enjoying life. People with strong -output stars in their chart thinks too much, fantasizes a lot but does little. They like enjoying life and good food. Many of them have big belly with a plump body. They are sloppy and careless at work and daily lives. This situation is especially worse if their chart has no wealth star. DM will fantasizes more and withdraw when running into difficulty.

The above situations are not absolute. We need to look at the whole natal chart to determine if this person is indeed a lazy one. For example, if a chart with excess resource stars but has at least one wealth star to control them, DM's laziness will be under control. Similar logic and interpretation for excess -output stars when resource star is presented in the chart.

Human laziness can be positive. People who are lazy but with a sense of responsibility would invent or create new methods or tools to make do things and tasks faster, so they can be "lazy" but still get the jobs done.
