Secret meanings of multiple "10-Gods" within a chart 十神多重断

In traditional China, blind fortune-tellers recite the coded poems from the exclusive Blindman Bazi library to give "iron mouth no-holds-barred revelation 铁口直断" in readings.   Below are rare to find meanings of multiple identical "10-Gods" or transformation stars within a chart-- taken from this Blindman Bazi library. For example, what is the possible meaning for a chart with 6 +wealth (zheng-cai) ? 

THE AUSPICIOUS 10-GODS GROUP

1. one +wealth element means wealth  一财是财
2. two +wealth mean mistresses 二财是妾
3. three +wealth mean lust 三财是色
4. four +wealth mean greed 四财是贪
5. five +wealth mean disasters due to chasing/ losing wealth 五财聚散成灾

1. one -peer element means loyalty and kindness   一比仁义
2. two -peer mean sociable and easy-going  二比和气
3. three -peer mean fierce competitions for resources/ wealth  三比争夺
4. four -peer mean lacking profit/ interest  四比乏利
5. five -peer mean leaving hometown to survive  五比离乡背井
6. six -peer mean struggling in poverty 六比贫困无疑
7. seven -peer mean "extreme strong" profile and the person becomes famous and wealthy七比势强反成名利

6. six -output mean the person tarnishing his family name and has a short life expectancy  六食妨祖短世
7. seven -output mean "follow output" profile and the person becomes a capable official 七食花红反到治世 

THE INAUSPICIOUS 10-GODS GROUP 

• -Power (qi-sha 七杀):  this refers to unofficial power
• -Resource (pian-yin 偏印):  this refers to step mother
• +Peer (jie-cai 劫财):  this refers to sibling, friends, coworkers and peers 
• +Output  (shang-guan 伤官):  this refers to children, talent, IQ, students
• -Wealth (pian-cai 偏财):  this refers to non-regular income and mistress (partially negative)

We only disclose the secret multiple meanings of "positive" or auspicious "10-Gods" here.  The "negative" or inauspicious ones will be posted in my Bazi discussion groups.  Membership in these groups requires taking at least one Bazi course from me.

Generally speaking, +wealth, +resource, -output, -peer and +power are categorically considered  "positive" or auspicious.  -Wealth is more positive than negative because it usually involves bigger wealth opportunities.  -Resource, +output, +peer and -power are relatively "negative" or inauspicious.  But all these assigned meanings are relative and not absolute.  All could be positive or negative depending on the composition of a Bazi chart.

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!

How to determine current year is good or bad for you?

In Bazi,  one's natal chart determines the "quality" of the chart.  But it is only part of the destiny pie.  A "good quality" chart still "sucks" if its luck periods do not bring in the elements that the chart needs to prosper.

There are two types of "luck period"-- the "10-years luck" (10YL) and "annual luck" (AL).  10YL is calculated in terms of one's birth month, which is different from person to person.  10YL provides the backdrops or "climate" of one's luck within that 10-years period. 

Annual luck means one's overall luck for current year. In Bazi, everyone shares the same AL.  For example, current year 2017 is ding-you (fire-rooster) year.  Every person in the world is subject to the influences of the same annual luck of ding-you.  If fire and metal are favorable to one's chart, one will enjoy better luck within 2017.  If otherwise, one's luck will be below average.  The important thing about AL is:  Any fortune or misfortune will be triggered by AL because it brings the favorable or unfavorable elements to the chart.

In this post, we will keep it simple by focusing on how annual luck affects your luck:

1.  AL "fan-yin" or "fu-yin" 10YL:  "Fan-yin" means stem clashing stem and branch clashing branch between two pillars.  "Fu-yin" means two identical pillars.  Fan-yin and fu-yin usually are unfavorable to the daymaster (DM) and jinx his/her close relatives.
2.  Strong DM with AL brings in wealth, power and output (cai, guan and shi-shang) elements means favorable fortune for the year.  But if AL brings in resource and/ or peer (yin or bi-jian) elements, it means misfortune for the year.
3.  Weak DM with AL brings in resource and/ or peer (yin and bi-jian) elements means favorable fortune for the year.  But if AL brings in wealth, power and/ or output (cai, guan and shi-shang) elements, it means misfortune for the year.
4.  10YL is favorable with AL brings in zheng-cai (+wealth), zheng-guan (+power), zheng-yin (+resource), shi-shen (-output), and/ or bi-jian (-peer),  means current year fortune will be enhanced even further.  If AL brings in jie-cai (+peer), qi-sha (-power), pian-yin (-resource) and/ or shang-guan (+output), means current year fortune will be mixed with both good and bad fortune.
5.  10YL is unfavorable with AL brings in zheng-cai (+wealth), zheng-guan (+power), zheng-yin (+resource), shi-shen (-output), and/ or bi-jian (-peer),  means current year fortune will have minor fortunes but major mishaps.  If AL brings in jie-cai (+peer), qi-sha (-power), pian-yin (-resource) and/ or shang-guan (+output), means current year fortune will be very bad.
6.  AL stem/ branch combine with day pillar is generally considered good luck for the year.  AL fan-yin  (clashing stems and branches) or fu-yin (identical pillars) day-pillar is generally negative for DM because it affects DM and the spouse palace directly.  Usually this means something going on with marital relationship or personal sickness/ disaster.
7.  The stem and branch of AL are favorable elements ("yong-shen") of the natal chart would imply the year will be auspicious or fortunate.  If unfavorable ("ji-shen"), the year will be below average or unfortunate.

Anyway, the above is a rough guideline for making annual luck interpretations.  You still have to take the whole chart and both luck periods into consideration to make more accurate predictions.

Bazi: 10 transformation stars ("10 Gods") on void 十神空亡

This time we discuss application of the "void" concept in Bazi.  It's void theory is based on the pairing of stems and branches and not borders between two mountains or palaces as in Feng Shui.

10 heavenly stems and 12 earthly branches are the "ABC" of Chinese metaphysics.  So almost every subject like Bazi, QMDJ, date-selection, divination and etc.,  have something on "void branch" due to the imbalance of this "10 stems" vs. "12 branches".  Two of the branches will be left out with no stems to pair with them.  These two branches are called "void branches".

There are 60 binomials (pairing of a stem and a branch of the same polarity or gender) categorized into 6 groups or "Xun".  Each xun has 10 binomials.  Members of each of these 6 groups have the same two void branches.  For example, members of the Jia-zi group ( Jia-zi, Yi-chou, Bing-yin, Ding-mao, Wu-chen, Ji-si, Geng-wu, Xin-wei, Ren-shen, Gui-you) have the same Xu and Hai as their void branches.

"Void" means nothing or disappeared.  The effects of a branch sitting on void is usually minimal or discounted by over 50%.

Void branches are classified in terms of:
--  year, month, day and hour branches
--  10 transformation stars
--  5-elements
--  "breaking bridge"
--  "horseback"
--  "mutual exchange"
--  and more

Here we just cover the 10 transformation stars or "10 Gods" on void.  For further info and remedies, please consult my "Destiny and Luck Management with Bazi" courses.  The following table is an excerpt from this "Destiny and Luck Management" course manual. 

TRANSFORMATION STARS AND VOID

Another way of looking at void branch is to check the branch in terms of the transformation star it represents.  For example, if the star is zheng-yin (resources) sits on void branch, it stands for lack of help or relationship with mother or older females or lack of or reduced academic progress for that period represented by the pillar.

Transformation star in void:	INTERPRETATIONS
Jie-cai 劫财 +peer	sibling rivalry; no or little help from siblings; problem accumulate wealth; easily over-spending/wasting money
Bi-jian 比肩  -peer	Male jinxes wife; female has poor spousal relationship; few siblings; sibling rivalry; no or little help from siblings
Shang-guan 伤官 +ouput	Orphan; marital discords or divorce; easy to miscarriage for female
Shi-shen 食神 -output	Likely to die prematurely; can mitigate the negative effect  with clash or combinations
Zheng-cai 正财 +wealth	Little or no relationship with wife; failures and rough life during old age
Pian-cai 偏财 –wealth	Little or no relationship with father; father is of little help or die prematurely; does not have “non-regular” wealth luck (like gambling, stocks and shares)
Zheng-guan 正官 +power Qi-sha 七杀 –power	Male has few or no sons; female has poor relationship with spouse; Can’t excel in careers; avoid public positions (government jobs); destined to leave hometown
Zheng-yin 正印 +resource	Problem to have academic success or power (authority); poor or no relationship with mother
Pian-yin 偏印–resource	Suffer obstacles in school or academic career; diffcult to achieve success; jinxing step-mother
