Bazi questions on changing luck pillar

Note:  Below are some questions from "4P Bootcamp" discussion group.

Is the age in which the luck pillar changes Chinese age or western age?

It is based on solar calendar.  To calculate the first 10-years-luck (10YL), yang male/ yin female (based on birth year) count the number of days and hour from birthday/hour to next solar terms (3 days= 1yr, 1 Chinese hour= 10 days).  Yin male and yang female count the number of days and hour from birthday/hour BACKWARD to previous solar terms.  For detail calculation, consult your basic Bazi textbooks.

Some say Chinese and others say western (age). That can make a significant difference sometimes.

It is always presented using the stem of the first year of one's 10YL.  For example, my 10YL starts at every jia-year.....  This confusion is due to the way traditional Chinese method of counting age is different from westerners.  Chinese baby is already one year old when s/he is born.  Hence in some Chinese Bazi software, the year daymaster (DM) clashing Grand Duke is 12x+ 1 whereas Bazi software written by westerners is 12x.  Chinese way of counting the age of a dead person is even more bizarre-- the dead guy gets 3 bonus years-- one year each from heaven, earth and himself.  So if a person is dead at 68, his reported age of death would be 71 by the funeral home.

In the year of change, if it happens to be in the middle of the year, do the old/new pillar switch off/on or there's a mixing of energy for the whole year?

You separate the year, so you may have half a year in the old 10YL and another half in new 10YL.

When 10YL switches, good or bad things are likely to happen, especially if the switch is from one region to another or "changing corner luck" (from hot to dry, for example, from wei to shen (fire to metal region)-- if the new region is favorable (great!), if unfavorable (pray or take my "Destiny and Luck" course)

Events are more likely to happen in the beginning or end of a 10YL.  There is a saying about 10YL, "男怕交运，女怕脱运. Male is afraid of changing 10YL.  Female is afraid of the end of a 10YL."  

How soon will the new luck pillar be felt before the actual change takes place especially corner luck?

This is hard to say, but it is pretty common to see someone suddenly dies/suffers major mishaps or become filthy rich/ famous overnight when the annual luck or 10YL switches.   10YL is the "big environment".  Annual luck is the trigger.  Activation depends on, I guess, the differentials in strength between favorable/unfavorable elements.  If there is an overwhelming imbalance and/or 3+ branches got clashed, events may happen faster.

Checking the year of luck period switching is one way of looking for "actions" or possible fortune/ misfortune event that may happen.

Why check Bazi before doing Feng Shui?

We have a saying in this business-- "A Bazi reader can get by without Feng Shui knowledge.  But a Feng Shui practitioner must know Bazi."

Feng Shui practitioners need Bazi knowledge because:

1.  Matching clients to practitioner himself
--  to make sure client's Bazi chart does not clash the practitioner's chart.  This is to ensure a happy and smooth working relationship  (also to filter out "difficult" clients).
2.  Securing results
-- by checking the client's current luck information on various aspects of life, the practitioner can pinpoint what can be done and what cannot be done.  If client is in bad wealth luck period and requests wealth enhancement, the practitioner cannot do much with Feng Shui.
3.  Doing Feng Shui enhancements and remedies
--  it is more effective to design Feng Shui enhancements (like wealth/career formation) and remedies (like sleeping direction)  when the energy-preference (favorable elements) of client's Bazi chart is decoded.
4.  Date-selection
--  Application of Feng Shui enhancements and remedies will be more effective when date-selection is made with consideration of client's Bazi.

Many schools offer endless "modules" of Bazi or 4P courses that many Feng Shui practitioners may not have the time or resource to take.

While I taught a Feng Shui seminar in Los Angels in 2003, a student had asked me if I could create a comprehensive Bazi course for Feng Shui practitioners.   "4-Pillars Bootcamp" was created in 2005 and remains a top seller for me.

Meaning of year, month, day and hour pillar clashes in Bazi

The representation of 4 pillars in a Bazi chart:

Year pillar:  Parents/ older generations (also ancestral blessing)
Month pillar:  Siblings (also parents sometimes)
Day pillar:  Day-master (stem), spouse (branch)
Hour pillar:  Children

THE MEANINGS OF CLASHES BETWEEN PILLARS:

Year and month pillar clash
-- the person (Day-master, DM) is likely leaving hometown to make a living or career.  This also means DM has a challenging teen years and likely not doing well in school.
Year and day pillar clash
-- DM does not get along with parents or no blessing from ancestors.
Day pillar clashes hour pillar
-- DM jinxes wife and hurts children or has marital problem.
Day pillar clashes month pillar
-- DM jinxes parents and siblings.  This could also means DM has hidden illness or marital problem because day-branch is clashed.
Year pillar clashes with month, day and hour pillar clash
-- DM has fierce temper and is prone to untimely or violent death

Why Feng Shui Practitioners Need Bazi Knowledge

Why Feng Shui practitioners need to know Bazi or 4-Pillars?  See the reasons below:

1.  Maintain compatibility between client and practitioner
By comparing practitioner and client's Bazi charts to make sure they are not clashing each other.  This ensures a smooth working relationship.

2.  Filter out undesirable or problematic clients
You don't want to pick up client's karma debt by helping problematic people

3.  Find out if client's current problems are due to destiny (Bazi) or Feng Shui.
If the client's problems are due to destiny, there will not be much help from Feng Shui work.

4.  Specific applications require checking client Bazi elements
For example, it is common for client to demand Feng Shui "wang cai"  (wealth enhancement).  Practitioner should check if client has wealth elements in his chart and if he is currently in wealth luck period first.  Bazi info also help to setup Feng Shui placement for academic/ career, romance, mentor luck and etc.

5.  Use client's Bazi favorable elements info to enhance Feng Shui placement and remedies.

6.  Use client's Bazi favorable elements info to do date-selection to enhance Feng Shui results.

A Feng Shui practitioner needs to know Bazi while a Bazi reader does not need to know Feng Shui.  To get your Bazi knowledge without taking numerous courses, you may want to check out my "4-Pillars Bootcamp".  It has been around since 2003 and remains a popular course for Feng Shui practitioners.

Que Sera Sera-- "Will I be (never minding this)? Will I be rich?"

You may have heard this Doris Day's song-- Que Sera Sera:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xZbKHDPPrrc

Most of us probably have asked similar questions-- "Will I be handsome or pretty?" during our adolescence and "Will I be rich?" as we get older.

Today is your lucky day-- based on my 4-pillars readings in the past, I have found the "destiny DNA" or 4-pillars components of a "rich person".

Forget about the question of "handsome or pretty" as we have seen many instances of rich old or ugly men/ women paired with handsome/ pretty spouses.  But if there are enough interest in whether you will be handsome or pretty, I can write about it later.

Don't worry if you do not understand the terminology here.  You can simply read the appendix below to check if you have the destiny DNA mentioned in this post.

4-pillars charts with wealth elements likely will bring wealth to their daymasters (not absolute).  Charts with little or no wealth element will likely have more difficulties in attaining wealth. 

DESTINY DNA FOR VERY RICH PEOPLE
People with  "wealth-storage" element in their day-pillar have the best probability of becoming the very rich.  These are the daymasters "sitting" on "wealth-storage" elements.  People with wealth storage are able to keep (store) their wealth made without spending it away or being "snatched" by their friends.  The following day-pillars combinations can make and keep their wealth:

1. Wu-chen 戊辰 (earth dragon)
2. Ren-xu 壬戌 (water dog)
3. Ding-chou 丁丑 (fire ox)
4. Xin-wei  辛未 (metal ram) 

DESTINY DNA FOR RICH PEOPLE
People with  "wealth element" in their day-pillar have better chance of becoming rich.  These are the daymasters "sitting" on "wealth element".  People sitting on wealth element have higher probability of running into wealth-making opportunities.  The following day-pillars combinations are daymasters sitting on wealth elements:

1. Jia-chen 甲辰 (wood dragon)
2. Jia-xu 甲戌 (wood dog)
3. Bing-shen  丙申 (fire monkey)
4. Ding-you 丁酉 (fire rooster)
5. Wu-zi 戊子 (earth rat)
6. Ji-hai 已亥 (earth pig)
7. Geng-yin  庚寅 (metal tiger)
8. Xin-mao  辛卯 (metal rabbit) 
9. Ren-Wu 壬午 (water horse)
10. Gui-si  癸巳 (water snake)

If your day-pillar is one of the 14 pillars listed above, you stand a better chance of making it rich than people without this pillar.  Of course, you also need to check the combinations of other pillars in your 4-pillars chart to reach a more affirmation conclusion.  For details, you can consult my "4-Pillars Bootcamp" video correspondence course.


APPENDIX: how to find your day-pillar
1.  Log into http://bazi-calculator.com/
2.  Type in your birthday
3.  Click "Calculate" button
4.  Check the "Day" column of the table in the left side
5.  This column shows if your day-pillar is one of the 14 pillars shown here.

Bazi: Secret Dating Guide for Men

This dating guide shows you lists of  woman daymasters (DM or person) born in certain days of the month that men may want to think twice before taking the marriage vow with these women.  Women born in the days listed below are likely to be dominant over their husbands.  Of course, there are men who like to be directed or bossed around by their wives.  Then the lists below will be great for them.

Check the appendix at end of article for instructions on how to figure out anyone's day branch with their birthdays.

1.  DM with pian-cai (-wealth) day branch
-- Jia-xu, Yi-wei, Bing-shen, Ding-you, Geng-yin and Xin-mao days
DM with pian-cai day branch is opinionated,  practical, calculated and dislikes being directed and likes to be the boss. 

2.  DM with shi-shen (-output)/ shang-guan (+output) day branch
-- Jia-wu, Yi-si, Geng-zi, Xin-hai, Ding-wei, Bing-xu, Ren-yin, Gui-mao, Wu-shen and Ji-you days.
DM with shi-shen/ shang-guan day branch is very independent, smart, like challenges with diverse pursuits; dislikes nor accepts criticism and remembers who has "wronged" her forever. 

3.  DM with bi-jian (-peer)/ jie-cai (+peer) day branch
-- Jia-yin, Yi-mao, Bing-wu, Ding-si, Wu-xu, Wu-chen, Ji-chou, JI-wei, Geng-shen, Xin-you, Ren-zi and Gui-hai days
DM with bi-jian/ jie-cai  day branch is hot-headed, impulsive, impatient, energetic, belligerent and challenging authority. 

4.  DM with qi-sha (-power) day branch
--Jia-shen, Yi-you, Wu-yin, Ji-mao, Ren-xu, Ren-chen, Gui-wei and Gui-chou days
DM with qi-sha day branch has irritable temperament, low endurance/ tolerance and likely to handle family affair roughly or with violence tendency.  She is impatient, self-centered and not subservient to authority.  She becomes more antagonistic if husband tries to "manage" her.  She is also likely to do things without thinking about the consequence. 

"Ken, you must be kidding me.  You have listed 36 daymasters out of the 60 possible ones!  There are not too many women left to date."

Fortunately, the lists above are mostly limited to STRONG daymasters who are more likely to be opinionated.  For the weak daymasters, they are likely to compromise with their spouses.

One day, when I am in a good mood, I may show you how to figure out if a chart has strong or weak daymaster in a flash.   But until then, you may take my "4-Pillars Bootcamp" video course.

Appendix:  How to find the day-branch of a person

1.  Go to http://bazi-calculator.com/
2.  Type in the birthday and gender (F or M) in the input table in the left side.
3.  Click "CALCULATE" box
4.  Check the left color table below the input table.  See the example here:
5.  The third color column (counting from right to left) is the day branch of the person.  It is "Geng-shen" in this example of someone born in June 24, 1990.

"Brother Sharp"- Fashion Icon 2016 Updates

Note:  I had written about the 4P of "Brother Sharp" in 2010.  It was one of the most read messages in this blog.  Below are recent updates of Brother Sharp.  I have included the original message here for those who have not read it.

"Brother Sharp" 犀利哥 is the nickname given by netizens in China to a homeless man for his chic fashion taste. A photographer took his picture and posted it on the web. He becomes a fashion icon and web sensation overnight. His fame has spread to Taiwan, Japan and even UK's Independent newspaper has an article on him.

Brother Sharp has mental disorder and can barely communicate with people!

You can do a Google search on "Brother Sharp" if you want to know more about him.

Here is some life events of Brother Sharp:

• He was born in Oct. 10, 1976 in a rural area.
• His family is poor. He has a brother and sister.
• He got married, has two boys.
• He became a migrant worker in 2000. He had lost contacts with his family after 3 years.
• His father and wife had died in a traffic accident in 2009.
• He had been roaming around the street of Ningbao city, Zhejiang Province for years.
• In early March of this year, someone took his picture and posted it on the web. The rest is fashion history.

 Here is his 4P chart. Hour unknown:
Y: bing-chen
M: wu-xu
D: yi-wei
H: (not known)

Current 10- Year Luck
Xin-Chou

Annual Luck
2009 Ji-chou
2010 Geng-yin

What do you see? Xu-chou-wei 3-penalties (3P)! Do you remember that I have written about 3-Penalies previously that it can be negative and positive? 3P also is likely to jinx the daymaster's close relatives.

Brother Sharp's natal chart and 10-year luck period form a 3P. In 2009, another Chou (ox) comes to activate the 3P--- wife and father died of traffic accident. Why wife and father got the jinx? (see the answer in 4PBC list)

Interesting thing is the suddenly fame through NO effort of his own-- also due to 3P! But why this happens in Yin (tiger) year and is "positive"? (answer in 4PBC list)

Brother Sharp before and after "cleaning up"

Because of his sudden fame, he has reunited with his family and received assistance from the government. A famous movie director plans to use his image and develop it into a movie. There are already fashion packages based on his look sold in China.

The sad thing is-- after his hair-cut and clean up with "normal"' cloths, people no longer see him as "Brother Sharp". He has lost his "chic".

Brother Sharp working in a theme park

I have tested his 4P chart using all the possible hours. All except one will give him a real or fake follow wealth chart. But reality shows he is dirt poor with a chart that is full of wealth elements. So it must be a weak chart or he would have been rich. It is a case of "failure to become a special chart" (implies miserable life!). 

BROTHER SHARP UPDATE-- Feb. 2016

Brother Sharp resumes his homeless life.

Brother Sharp was a media darling in 2010

After Brother Sharp became a "fashion icon" and famous in Feb. 2010, he had worked for a theme park as an "attraction" and also as spokesman for some products.  All marketing plans had failed due to his mental problems.

Owing to his "fame", media people got him free therapy from a mental institution 2013.  But his mental problems persists-- dislikes human contacts, does not bath or change clothing and lacking personal hygiene.  He had left the institution in 2014 and gradually lost contact with his own family members.

This iconic smoking posture of Brother Sharp 

An elementary classmate of Brother Sharp had reported seeing him wandering on the streets, picking up cigarette butts and food from garbage cans. He has not been seen for over a year.

The younger brother of Brother Sharp,  Cheng Guo-sheng comments,

" (In 2010) my brother was famous all over the country.  I was given over 100 business cards from media reporters.  But this was just a giant bubble.  My brother's internet celebrity status did not mean anything to him or his life."

Cheng thinks his brother is only lazy and lacking focus in life.

"Like a philosopher or someone who does self-cultivation, he has reached a higher level of consciousness.  But people said he is mentally sick.  Probably he has attained enlightenment and understood the meaning of life.  Maybe he wants to live his life as a vagrant."

Brother knows best about Brother Sharp.

Brother Sharp now lives the "good life" that he cherishes.  He has escaped the media circus and materialism.

Factors Affecting Wealth Potential in 4P/ Bazi

After figuring out the wealth potential of his 4P birth chart,  a new student of my "4P Bootcamp" wrote:

"Realizing that my chart doesn't have much wealth in it has been a big relief.  It's allowed me to break my attachment to thinking that I should be attaining, or measuring up to my preconceived idea.  It's been a relief to let go of the goal/judgement, and just focus on the cultivation, intention and effort of the moment."

This is real positive thinking at its best.  It obliterates the need to take any motivational seminars or buy any self-help books.  It will save him tons of money too.

However, a 4P chart with few or no wealth elements does not necessarily imply the chart-owner (daymaster) will be poor or wealth-deprived.

To honor this student with this refreshing attitude, I hereby "spill some beans" about wealth element in 4P/ Bazi.  Of course, you can read the whole thing in my "4P Bootcamp" manual and videos (Note:  one of the secrets of wealth is to get people buying your courses).

It is a common misconception that the more wealth elements a 4P chart has, the richer will be the person.

The number of elements in your natal 4P chart shows only potential for wealth and not certainty to get wealth.  Luck periods, especially 10-years luck, affect one's wealth potential greatly too.

A chart with strong or numerous wealth elements (2+) can be a poor person if the daymaster is weak. This is called "poor person living in a grand mansion".  He could be a servant in the mansion or a teller in a bank.  He will get even poorer when wealth luck period comes.  This is called "weak daymaster cannot handle wealth".  His wealth luck will soar when running into peer luck (bi-jian) periods because his daymaster becomes strong (and has the energy to pick up the wealth).

A chart with few or no wealth elements (zheng-cai/ pian-cai) may get wealth when the daymaster runs into 10-years and annual wealth luck periods for strong daymaster and peer luck periods for weak daymaster.  However, to make meaningful or substantial wealth, one needs to have at least a 10-years wealth luck period and preferably two consecutive 10-years wealth luck period.  Annual wealth luck will be likely "money-comes-money-goes" scenarios.

There are more finer points about wealth potentials, like charts with strong daymaster and few wealth elements are likely to jinx wife and father, weak daymasters with numerous wealth may be beaten up by wives and who can or cannot keep the wealth.........

Life and Death in 4-Pillars

Recently a student wants to know if my "4-Pillars Bootcamp+" course covers "life expectancy" topic.

Here is my answer, "The topic is not covered directly. It is hidden under the chapter on health and sickness.  I don't want students to scare people predicting when they will die.  A few weeks ago I have written about how modern technology screws up Bazi's/4P  predictions of death in the 4P-Bootcamp discussion list.  Many sickness that were once not curable 40- 50 years ago are now 'easy fixes'".

The student has replied, "But let me be more precise what I'm looking for. In the book 'Sanming Tonghui'  book 7, the chapter 4 is about: 'analysis of long lives and early deaths'. I saw that referenced in another book, but I neither have that ancient book nor could I read it as it is in Chinese. Do you maybe have that translated somewhere ? Or the approach referenced or explained ?" (Note: "San-ming Tong-hui" is a 4P classic written in Ming Dynasty or 1700's)

I have checked this ancient book.  It has only a few pages on the topic.  The author had referenced other books of the time (1700's) using non-standard methods such as na-yin of the year pillar.  No wonder it is not referenced much in modern 4P literature because it is not logical.

4P view of long life and few sickness is pretty simple:  When a 4P chart has all the five elements and the flow of qi is smooth, the person will likely live a long life.  Of course, this does not take into consideration the effects of karma debts and other factors like geographical locations, which may explain why people with the same birthday live different destiny and died earlier or later.

People with lots of clashes and penalties in their 4P charts are likely to die prematurely.  People with strong day-masters are likely to die outdoor (accidents) and weak day-masters are likely to die indoor (sickness).

This student wrote back. "I'd be interested not in an event based 'when which things will happen' approach but in addition to that something more to the point of life expectancy.

In the last few years I had 2 friends who survived a heart attack due to modern emergency medicine. However, 3 month later they died from a completely different, but terminal disease.

Another friend also had a heart attack with temporary death and already survived for a long time. I believe that the length of life is somehow predetermined and if it is your time to go, it is your time to go. You can only extend it by a rather small time (like the first 2 friends I'm referring to)"

Yes, when it is your time to go, you can't escape.  There are many stories in Buddhist literature about people who were supposed to die young but not-- because of the good deeds they have done.

"If you can share with me as a bonus how to at least roughly determine the life expectancy, that would be much appreciated ?" The student asked.

This is probably not necessary.   Life expectancy is the underlying implication on every 4p reading.  You just look for years when "things" will happen.  This includes death.  But a responsible 4P reader will not say "death" but "hurdle" or "major obstacle in life".  So as not to incapacitate or scare the client to death and make it into a self-fulfilling prophecy.  After all, 4P is not 100% accurate (or it is a science and not metaphysics).  A good 4P reader is to make negative predictions "inaccurate" by steering his clients away from the energies that will make negative predictions happen (this is what my "Destiny and Luck Management" course does mostly).

Birth chart is like your "pre-heaven" blueprint that may not necessarily materialized completely as planned.  4P reader has no control on what you will do with your life (and affects the original blueprint).

Years ago I had a strange business idea of advising life insurance companies to examine insurance policies based on 4P check of likelihood to die young. They will take only people who will be likely to live long and rarely get sick, so that the company can offer good pricing to them.  But this is "discrimination" and cannot be practiced in USA.

I would like to quote a famous Chinese saying to end this discussion:

"How can one understand death when living is still a mystery?" (不知生, 焉知死)
