Top Secret Bazi Laws: Numerous vs. None

Today is your lucky day to see the last batch of top secrets of the year. 

Below are some secret Bazi laws that masters use to do quick reading:

八字定律:
命局财多愚,才多劳,官多贱,杀多死,印多孤,枭多凶,食多愁,伤多害,刃多残,劫多败,禄多贫,马多奔走,冲多不安,合多热心,阳多坦荡,阴多深重,墓库多克六亲,无财不真实,无官少压力,无印少福分。

Note:  If you are not familiar with the terminology used here, check this link:

Chart with numerous (3+)
  1. +wealth (zheng-cai):  Daymaster (DM) is likely stupid
  2. -wealth (pian-cai):  DM likely works too much
  3. +power (zheng-guan):  DM is likely a lower class member/ depressed 
  4. -power (qi-sha):  DM is likely to die prematurely
  5. +resource (zheng-yin):  DM is likely alone/ solitary
  6. -resource (pian-yin):  DM is likely a vicious person
  7. +output (shang-guan):  DM is likely a disaster/ arrogant
  8. -output (shi-shen):  DM worries too much/ likes eating
  9. +peer (bi-jian):  DM is likely a failure/ fantasizes too much
  10. Yang-knives (+peer):  DM likely has disability
  11. Lu (-peer):  DM likely lives in poverty
  12. Traveling Horses (yin/shen/si/hai):  DM travels a lot/ mobile, can't sit still
  13. clashes:  instability and insecurity for DM
  14. combinations:  DM is enthusiastic and sociable
  15. more yang than yin pillars:  DM is open and honest
  16. more yin than yang pillars:  DM is not open and suspicious of others
  17. tomb-storages (chen/xu/chou/wei): DM is likely jinxing close relatives

Chart with NO:
  • wealth star:  DM is "not real" (everyone needs wealth to survive)
  • power star:  DM has less pressure
  • resource star:  DM has shortage of blessing

Of course, you also need to read other parts of a chart before you giving out comments based on above laws.  There are always exceptions such as special profile charts which may give totally opposite meanings.

As you can see, a tiny paragraph written in  Chinese takes almost one page to translate in brief.  It would have taken another 2 pages if I explain what these mean in details.   

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

The animal sign with violations are pig, snake and monkey.  House facing NW3 or hai mountain may need some remedies.

For details on house Grand Duke violations, check this post:
http://kenlaifengshui.blogspot.com/2016/12/what-is-house-violating-grand-duke-in.html 

GRAND DUKE TALISMAN OFFERS
This year we use digital delivery of Grand Duke Talismans because "snail mail" is slow and prone to losses.  Ken Lai will create a GD Talisman with user name, city and country imprinted, bless and "activate" individually on screen digitally.  This unique activated GD file will be emailed to you.  You can print as many copies as you want (but for one unique-named person only).  In this way, you can replace soiled or damaged talismans yourself.  You can carry one talisman in your wallet and post one in your home and/or office for Feng Shui remedy.  You get more "mileage" from a single donation this way.

The offer is the same as previous years: your charity donation of US$30 or more to any legitimate local or international charity will get you a specially blessed Grand Duke talisman with your name inscribed (see below for special rate for countries with lower annual income per capita).    Here are some sample charities suggested in the past drives:
  • homeless shelter
  • Save-the-Children (www.savethechildren.org)
  • UNICEF (United Nation Children's Fund)
  • Smile Train (www.smiletrain.org)
  • children hospital
  • food shelves/soup kitchen
  • Red Cross
  • animal shelter/ humane society
  • Doctors without border (https://donate.doctorswithoutborders.org/onetime.cfm)
Donation made to help alleviate an urgent human/ animal need or suffering (e.g., feeding the hungry, tornado/ typhoon victims or homeless) gets you more "pain" or "misfortune" removed from you than donation for public good or improvement of public life like church/ temple or public radio/TV.

If you are worried about privacy issues and future solicitations-- please be assured that I will not email you in the future. You will send me NO money. You send your money directly to your favorite local or international charity.  You do NOT need to purchase any additional item from me or anyone else. No future solicitation of any type will be sent to you.  This offer is for people who have no access to Daoist temples.  Please support your local temple if you have access to one.

If you need more than one Grand Duke Talismans, here is the discount schedule:
 --one talisman US$30 donation (US$5 if you are unemployed/under-employed)
 --two talismans US$50 donation ($10 if unemployed /under-employed )
 --three talismans US$60 donation ($15 if unemployed /under-employed )
(you may go to www.xe.com to calculate the equivalent of US$30 to your local currency)


NOTE:  People from countries with annual personal income per capita income below US$8000.00 can use the "under-employed and unemployed rate".
 
Talisman that is grounded with a charitable event works more effectively because it has an exchange of one type of energy for protection energy.

To claim your talismans and application instructions, please forward your donation receipt with the talisman recipient names and address to kenlai88@yahoo.com with the following info:

 
1.  user name:

2.  gender (sex): 
2.  city:
3.  country:

Get your Grand Duke Talismans before Feb. 3, 2019 if possible.  Year of Pig will start on Feb. 4, 2018 (11:16 am).  Your individually consecrated digital talisman will be emailed to you  or in about 1 week (
after January 1, 2019) after receiving your proof of donation.

Thank you for participating in this charity drive.

Do you jinx your children? 克子女八字

Your Bazi natal chart can reveal a lot about you--  your spouse, your wealth luck, your parents,  your family background, if you are an angel or an ass, and even if you will jinx your children or not  (time to take a Bazi course!)

People with the following Bazi characteristics in their natal Bazi chart may jinx their children:

1.  "Children palace" location is occupation by unfavorable elements (ji-shen).  Hour pillar is the children palace location.  This means children is not good for the daymaster (DM) or they are just "average" and not doing too well.

2.  Children palace is seriously clashed or penalized.  This means children has little or no relationship (karma) with DM. live far away from DM or die prematurely.

3.  Children palace sits on void branch.  "Void" means nothing.  DM may not have any children or children has little or no relationship (karma) with DM or DM cannot rely on them for old age support.

4.  Children palace is occupied by output stars (shi-shen/ shang-guan) for male DM.  Power stars (zheng-guan/ qi-sha) mean children for male.  The arch enemies of power stars are output stars.  Hence when children palace is occupied by output stars implies jinxing children for a male DM-- children do not like staying at home or have poor prospect or simply being "average".

5.  Children palace is occupied by resource stars (zheng-yin/ pian-yin) for female DM.  Output stars (shi-shen/ shang-guan) mean children for female.  The arch enemies of output stars are resource stars.  Hence when children palace is occupied by resource stars implies jinxing children for a female DM-- children do not like staying at home or have poor prospect or simply being "average".

If you are smart, the same analytical technique can be applied to other pillars to examine other family relationship, like month pillar for parents or sibling relationship.  This is equivalent to reading 1 article and get 3 free.  Life is good for you.

12 Worrisome Birth Months of Chinese Zodiac Animals 属相十二愁月

In Chinese astrology, everyone is assigned an animal sign from a pool of 12 animals based on the birth year.  This article discloses a rarely taught secret of "12 worrisome birth months".

People who were born in their "worrisome month" of their own specific birth animal sign likely to have the following characteristics:

Personality:  worrisome, gloomy, grumpy, down, pessimistic and feel disaster coming anytime, self-defeatist, "shooting oneself in the foot" type.

Life chances and social interactions:  not getting along with neighbors and family relatives, loner and quiet type, lacking friends, marital problems and career problems. 

HOW TO CALCULATE YOUR WORRISOME MONTH
Worrisome month is calculate in terms of solar months (it is about a month slower than western month).  The easiest way to calculate it is to use the bazi-calculator link below, key in your birthday and check the left side table as shown below:
https://bazi-calculator.com/

The example below is to check someone with December 4, 1980 birthday was born in his worrisome month or not.  The birth animal sign is monkey for the person and birth month is pig or hai.



Then we check the list of worrisome month in terms of birth animal sign below.  The worrisome month for monkey sign is pig or hai month.  Hence this person was born in a worrisome month  (potential client for psychologist). 

The followings are worrisome months based on Chinese zodiac animal signs: 

RAT (years born: 1948, 1960, 1972, 1984, 1996, 2008, 2020, 2032, 2044) 
Worrisome month:  rabbit or mao (second solar month)

OX (years born: 1937, 1949, 1961, 1973,  1985, 1997, 2009, 2021, 2033, 2045) 
Worrisome month:  dragon or chen  (third solar month)

TIGER (years born: 1938, 1950, 1962, 1974, 1986, 1998, 2010, 2022,  2034 ) 
Worrisome month:  pig or hai (10th solar month)
 
RABBIT (years born: 1939, 1951, 1963, 1975, 1987, 1999, 2011, 2023,  2035 ) 
Worrisome month:  horse or wu month (fifth solar month)
 
DRAGON (years born: 1940, 1952, 1964, 1976,  1988, 2000, 2012, 2024, 2036) 
Worrisome month:  ox or chou (twelfth solar month)
 
SNAKE (years born: 1941, 1953, 1965, 1977, 1989, 2001, 2013,  2025, 2037) 
Worrisome month:  tiger or yin month  (first solar month)
 
HORSE (years born: 1942, 1954, 1966, 1978, 1990, 2002, 2014, 2026, 2038, 2050)  
Worrisome month:  rooster or you month  (eighth solar month)

RAM (years born: 1931, 1943, 1955, 1967, 1979, 1991, 2003, 2015, 2027, 2039 )
Worrisome month:  dog or xu month (ninth solar month)
 
MONKEY (years born: 1944, 1956, 1968, 1980, 1992, 2004, 2016,  2028, 2040)
Worrisome month:  snake or si month (fourth solar month)
 
ROOSTER (years born: 1945, 1957, 1969, 1981,  1993, 2005, 2017, 2029, 2041)  
Worrisome month:  rat or  zi month (eleventh solar month)
 
DOG (years born: 1934, 1946, 1958, 1970,  1982, 1994, 2006, 2018, 2030, 2042)
Worrisome month:  ram or wei month  (sixth solar month)
 
PIG  (years born: 1935, 1947, 1959, 1971, 1983, 1994, 2007, 2019, 2031, 2043 )
Worrisome month:  monkey or shen month  (seventh solar month)

"Ken, can you explain the rationale behind these worrisome months?"

This will take 12 letter-sized pages to explain.  Most of you will have no patience to read and me no time to write.  For the intellectually curious-- this has something to do with the interactions between the hidden elements inside the animal signs and the "12 life stages of stem" theory.

Now psychologists have one more tool to diagnose depression-- to check if the patient was born in a worrisome month.

Get-rich-quick with your own "Annual Feng Shui/ Luck Predictions" seminars?

Have you ever attended some inexpensive live seminars for "Annual Feng Shui/ luck Predictions" and ended up purchasing a few thousand U.S. dollars' worth of Feng Shui remedies like white pagoda, Jurassic animals and/ or courses?

Do you want to do these seminars yourself and get-rich-quick like those "masters"?

Today is your ultra lucky day if your answer is "yes".  This article discloses the little not-so-dirty secret of how to make annual predictions. 

ANNUAL CHARTS
In Li-qi or formula Feng Shui systems like Purple White, Flying Star, QMDJ and the likes use an "nnual chart" to calculate the change of energy or qi distributions of 8 major directions.

This annual distribution of energies is determined by the star "flying" (or "rotation" of 9 different stars) into the center palace.  The movement of these 9 stars follows the Lao-shu pattern.  Hence, once we know the center star of each year, we can draw out the annual chart of that year and make your own "annual predictions" easily using the nature of 9-stars and your own imaginations.

There are only 9 flying stars and hence 9 possible annual charts.  This means after you have done 9 annual predictions, you can claim to be an environment conscious person by recycling the old charts, predictions and cut down your workload. Hopefully your past attendees have forgotten that they already have paid for the same info once or more (Disclosure:  This is how I do my annual "minimal Feng Shui guide".  Sorry, no return or refund for your "clicks").

There are a few methods to calculate the center star based on different centuries.  Below is one simple method.

Year 1900 to 1999:  Use 10 to subtract the total from the last 2 digits of the year. For example, Year 1989= 8+ 9= 17; 1+7=8  (reduce the total to a single digit number); center star for 1989= 10 - 8 =2
Year 2000 to 2099:  Use 9 to subtract the total from the last 2 digits of the year. For example, Year 2019= 1+ 9= 10; 1+0=1  (reduce the total to a single digit number); center star for 2019= 9 - 1 = 8
Year 2100 to 2199:  Use 8 to subtract the total from the last 2 digits of the year.
Year 2200 to 2299:  Use 7 to subtract the total from the last 2 digits of the year.

How about the center stars of previous centuries?

Year 1800 to 1899:  Use 11 to subtract the total from the last 2 digits of the year.
Year 1700 to 1799:  Use 12 to subtract the total from the last 2 digits of the year.
Year 1600 to 1699:  Use 13 to subtract the total from the last 2 digits of the year.
Year 1500 to 1599:  Use 14 to subtract the total from the last 2 digits of the year.
Year 1400 to 1499:  Use 15 to subtract the total from the last 2 digits of the year.
Year 1300 to 1399:  Use 16 to subtract the total from the last 2 digits of the year.
Year 1200 to 1299:  Use 17 to subtract the total from the last 2 digits of the year.
Year 1100 to 1199:  Use 11 to subtract the total from the last 2 digits of the year. 

"Ken,  we were not born before year 1100 and most of us will not live through 2100, why bother giving us so many centuries of calculations?"

The ones for year 1100 to 2000 are for you to do historical Feng Shui audit/ detective work.  For example, you want to check a major historical fire of 1777 of an ancient palace was related to Feng Shui or not.  With its sitting and facing direction, you can generate its Feng Shui charts and tie to the annual chart of 1777 when the fire had happened.   Year 2000 to 2299 data is to protect our descendants for generations to come from "annual prediction" marketing because they can DIY.

Fertility Bazi: Women with problems giving birth

Bazi characteristics of women with problem giving birth:

1. Chart with strong resource stars (zheng-yin/ pian-yin):  Output stars (shi-shen/ shang-guan) represents children for a female.  Resource stars are the arch-enemies of output stars.  For example, the output star of a female Jia-wood daymaster (DM) is fire and resource star is water.  Water extinguishes fire.  Hence if a chart with strong resource star will be unfavorable for child-birth, especially if the resource star is in the hour pillar (children palace!)

2. Chart with daymaster sitting on "yang-knife":  Chart with yang-knife on day-branch is prone to abortion, miscarriage or uterus surgery.  Women with the following day-pillars are sitting on a "yang-knife":  bing-wu, ding-si, wu-wu, ji-si, ren-zi and gui-hai.

3. Chart with day-branch clashing hour branch:  Hour pillar is the "children palace".  When it is clashed means instability, damaging, obstacles in giving birth and also prone to miscarriage.  Here are the potential day-hour branch clashes:  yin-shen, mao-you, chen-xu, si-hai, zi-wu and chou-wei. 

4. Chart with children star in void:  Void means "void branch" here.  Void means "not there" or nothing.

5. Chart with children star entombed:  "Entombed" means hidden or lacking relationship with children.  For example, water is the children star for a female metal DM and there is no water element in her chart except a hidden gui-water in the Chen water tomb.

"Ken, my chart has some of the characteristics listed above.  Is there any remedy or things that I can do to increase my chance of conceiving a child?" 

Yes, there are some simple  things that you can do.  Please refer to these:

Reality follows Mind vs. Mind follows Reality

In simple terms, "reality follows mind" (境隨心轉 jìng-suí-xīn-zhuǎn) implies one's perception, intention or thought controls one's own reality and affects how one acts and behaves.  "Mind follows reality" (心隨境轉 xīn-suí-jìng-zhuǎn) means one's perception is dictated or manipulated by one's own reality and becomes a slave of this reality.

This topic may sound "sleepy" to you.  But if you grasp the concepts behind, you will have one foot stepped inside "Club Enlightenment".

To make these concepts easier to understand, please watch a 98 seconds video below about a 11 years old boy who had failed his exams in China, the land of "tiger moms":



The boy and his father
The video may run too fast.  Let me recap the contents for you:
1.  This 11 years old boy got 7 points (out of 100) from a school exam.  A Chinese boy with this low and failing score is very likely scolded or beaten up by his parents.
Academic failure is a cardinal sin in the mind of traditional Chinese parents.
2.  Surprisingly, his father was very happy to see his boy get 7 points.  He had even bought a car-load of fireworks that costed him US$160 to celebrate the boy's exam result.
3.  It is because this boy had zero scores in his previous exams.
4.  After this incident, this boy has a change of attitude towards school works and become self-motivated to study.
5.  He got 57 points in an exam held a few days ago.

Originally I have planned to explain the dynamics behind.  But I don't want to sound like a preacher.  So I let you figure this out and make your own judgement.

Happy thinking (and weekend)!

P.S.  Consult "Diamond Sutra" if you want to know more about "reality follows mind".

How a disabled member affects Feng Shui

Earlier this month, the story of a 63 years old Brad Weldon and his 90 years old blind and immobile mother refused to evacuate from the Californian wild fire in his Paradise neighborhood grabs my attention.

https://www.ctvnews.ca/world/angels-were-here-to-watch-us-man-and-his-mother-survive-california-wildfire-1.4177913

Their house is the only house left surviving the fire in the neighborhood.  According to news report:

Brad Weldon and his 90 years old blind mother
".... the flames came so close that Weldon laid down on the ground and turned the hose on himself – just hoping that the water would be enough to keep him alive.....Weldon says that with a change of wind, and 'angels here to watch us,' he and his mother escaped death........The fire has killed at least 50 people. More than 100 others are missing -- all of them from Paradise."

Over the years, some Feng Shui practitioners and me have observed an interesting phenomenon that a family with a disabled member (esp. if s/he cannot self-care), is more likely spared from major natural or man-made disasters.

A Taiwan master had observed a street sits on void line (bad Feng Shui) has all shops closed down except one that has a disabled member in the family.  In other words, a disabled family member can override negative Feng Shui.

I have also observed from my own relatives to people from other social circles that families with disabled members usually will survive in almost any economic condition.

This is based on a heaven or universal rule of "averaging"-- avoid granting too "perfect" or "imperfect" destinies to earthlings.  The common image of this phenomenon is seeing rich people with poor health and poor people with good health or rich people with no heir and poor people with many kids.

There is a saying in Chinese with similar meaning about this universal rule:

"Heaven would not fail a person.  Find one's way out from an impasse."
-- "天無绝人之路"

Hence, if your family has a disabled member, s/he probably is your Feng Shui insurance for avoiding catastrophe and economic hardship.  If you feel your current situation is less than satisfactory, it could be worse without this disabled member!

Bazi: Predicting Career or Job Changes

In modern age, few people stay in one job or company for life.  Most of us would change careers, jump to another company, getting promoted/ fired/ relocation or start our own business.  One may want to predict when such change is likely to happen-- consult your own Bazi chart and luck period.

Below are what to check for career changes in one's Bazi chart:

Year that -power star (qi-sha) shows up:  +power (zheng-guan) stands for stable job.  -power stands for innovation, new career, new plan or new business.  Hence annual luck that brings -power usually signifies changes in one's career.

Year that +power star (zheng-guan) combines with daymaster:  Examples are: yi-DM with geng power star; ding-DM with ren, ji-DM with jia.  When a luck period brings a +power star,  it usually has something to do with career, especially if power star is favorable to the chart.  When power star combines with DM, it is likely related to promotion or new opportunities.

Year when power stars (zheng-guan/ qi-sha) is clashed or combined:  Power stars represent work, position, duties and etc. Interactions with power star usually signifies changes in one's career.  If luck period has interaction with the power stars in natal chart, it will also brings changes in one's career.  If the interaction is from 10-year luck period, it means these changes could last for 10 years (or means frequent changes).

Year when resource star (zheng-yin/ pian-yin) is clashed or combined:  Resource stars represent contracts, documents, regulation, power, order and etc.  It also represents living and working environment.  Hence when annual luck clashes or combines with resource star, will likely prompt changes in career, including relocation of residence.  If annual luck creates "power and resource mutual nurturing 官印相生", DM is likely to have promotion. If the interaction is from 10-year luck period, it means these changes could last for 10 years (or means frequent changes).

Year with strong +output (shang-guan):  Strong +output will make DM think of changes and likely feel dissatisfied with current career or  cause disharmony in interpersonal relationship.  This could result in changing career due to DM's state of mind or simply pissing off the boss (and get fired).

Year with "traveling horse star":   "Traveling horse star" refers to the propensity to travel or moving (check below for details).  When annual luck brings a traveling horse star, DM is likely have changes in career.  If the star is from 10-year luck period, it means DM is prone to career changes or relocation in this 10 years.  Below is how to calculate your traveling horse star:
  • year or day branch is yin, wu or xu, your traveling horse is shen
  • year or day branch is si, you or chou, your traveling horse is hai
  • year or day branch is hai, mao or wei, your traveling horse is si
  • year or day branch is shen, zi or chen, your traveling horse is yin

Note for females:  Power stars mean husband or lover for female. So when power star is clashed, combined or showing up in your chart,  besides career changes, it could also mean something happens in your relationship department-- marriage, divorce, separation, lover, mistress and etc.

Bazi Characteristics of Poor People 窮人八字

People with "poor" profile Bazi charts usually work hard for money and live in challenging conditions.  If they run into accidental or unexpected wealth, they have problem keeping the wealth or even endangering their lives.  There are cases of poor people winning lottery and ended up poorer or even death.

Click the following link if you want to understand the Bazi/4P terminology used here as compared to yours:
http://kenlaifengshui.blogspot.com/2011/05/4p-bazi-terminology-conventions.html

Below are Bazi characteristics of people who are poor (check the diagram at end of article to DIY explanations) :

  1. Chart with few output stars (shi-shen/ shang-guan) and no wealth stars (zheng-cai/ pian-cai)
  2. Chart with few wealth stars (zheng-cai/ pian-cai) but too many +power stars (zheng-guan)
  3. Weak DM with with many +output stars (shang-guan) and shortage of resource stars (zheng-yin/ pian-yin) for DM support and control of output stars
  4. Weak DM with numerous wealth stars (zheng-cai/ pian-cai) with no peer stars (jie-cai/ bi-jian) to handle wealth
  5. Chart with few wealth stars (zheng-cai/ pian-cai) and no output stars (shi-shen/ shang-guan) to create wealth, but too many peer stars (jie-cai/ bi-jian) to snatch wealth
  6. Chart with too many wealth stars (zheng-cai/ pian-cai) and power stars (zheng-guan/ qi-sha)

If a chart with any one of the above conditions, DM is likely to have problems getting rich during his lifetime.

"Ken, my chart meets one of the conditions listed above.  What should I do?"

A chart usually has both good and bad luck periods.  You either seek the help of a Bazi reader or take my Bazi courses (especially "Destiny/Luck Mgmt. 2" and "Destiny/Luck Mgmt. 3 " to determine your good luck period, earn as much as you could and save for rainy days.  With DLM2/ 3 courses, they help you to create opportunities instead of waiting for mercy.
