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.

Quantifying level of husband-jinxing

Hi guys!  Today is your lucky day.  This article may save your happy or miserable life. It helps you determine if your potential wife will just irritating you or jinxing you to death.  This is done by reading the Bazi birth chart of your potential mate.

In Bazi, power star or zheng-guan stands for the husband in a female chart.  Shang-guan is the star that "hurts" or jinxes her husband.  To check the level of husband-jinxing is to look at the balance between power and output star in a female chart.

To help you understand the dynamics, here we use an earth female daymaster (DM) as example.  Her husband star is wood element and output star is metal.

LEVEL OF HUSBAND-JINXING
1. Both power and output stars are about equally weak:  This means both wood and metal are weak.  Metal can only pokes at metal from time to time.  Wife irritates husband with verbal attacks or behaviors  Husband puts up with it but dissatisfaction accumulates over time.
2. Output stars are weaker than power stars:  This means metal is weak and wood is relatively stronger.  Metal still instigates wood, but wood will not put up with the skirmishes and strike up.  Wife would irritates and picks on her husband.  Husband does not put up with her and result in quarrels and fights. 
3. Both powers and output stars are about equally strong:  Metal and wood are equally strong and in balance.  Wife has a good grasp of husband's weakness and can effectively keep husband at bay and no funny business.  This combination keeps the marriage stable.
4. Output stars are about above 100% but below 300% stronger than power stars:  This means metal is much stronger than wood.  The reality becomes:  husband is prone to illness, injuries, disasters, obstacles in life and the couple is prone to separation or divorce. 
5. Output stars are above 300% stronger than power star:  This means wood is very weak.  The reality becomes:  husband is prone to premature death.

If unfortunately your current wife falls into #4 or #5 of the above,  pray or run or hopefully you have a wife-jinxing chart to neutralize the other party's husband-jinxing.  If you do not have a wife-jinxing chart, you may take the courses below for help:

Self-penalty according to Blindman Bazi

Penalty topic is one of the most read in this blog.  Below is how Blindman Bazi School 盲师 perspective on self-penalty.

The implicit meanings of self-penalty 自刑 are:

• feeling of being trapped or alienation
• getting upset for nothing 庸人自扰
• self-inflicted pain-- either physical, emotional or financial
• indecision or lacking direction or belief in life
• individual or familial stagnation
• sickness, accident or disaster

Classic self-penalty categories:

• Hai-hai 亥亥:
  hai is water; hurt by water (suicide by drowning) or liquid (alcoholism or drug abuse)
• You-you 酉酉:
  you is metal; hurt by sharp metallic objects like cutting one's own veins
• Wu-wu 午午:
  wu is fire; hurt by fire like suicide with burning coal in an enclosed area
• Chen-chen 辰辰:
  chen is earth; hurt by earth like suicide by jumping off a building

But Blindman School also feels that Shen-shen 申申, Yin-yin 寅寅 and Si-si 巳巳 could also be self-penalties. 

SELF-PENALTY TYPES AND EFFECTS
1. Self-penalty exists in natal chart: 
Stands for the chart-owner (daymaster) feels trapped, indecisive, marrying late, physically weak with chronic illness throughout his life.  Serious cases would be the daymaster will not succeed in any endeavor in life.

2. Self-penalty formed with 10-year-luck period:
Means the daymaster has more failures than successes during this 10-years period.  He also feels trapped or depressed with conflict with his family.

3. Self-penalty formed with annual-luck period:
Stands for stagnation and blockage within the year.  Daymaster is indecisive and depressed.  There may be signs of losing wealth, sickness and accident.

4. Self-penalty formed with current month: 
Stands for obstacles and blockages within the month.  There may be signs of losing wealth, sickness and accident.

"Is there any remedy for self-penalty?"

There are some remedies available in my "Destiny and Luck Management with Bazi" video correspondence courses.

Beating Slot Machine with Imperial QMDJ-- Part 2

Note:  A few years ago, an engineering professor Smart (not real name) had purchased "Professional Imperial QMDJ" course from me.  Within a few days, he had used the Imperial QMDJ method to try his luck in a local casino.  He had just played slot machines which requires little or no skill. The email correspondence below are the reports of his casino adventure.  All the names and identifying items are changed.  Below is the continuation from previous blog post-- email from Professor Smart a few days after the previous ones.

Dear Ken,

Another good news.  this is the situation:

Today morning (Saturday, 10 August 2013, Wu-Shen Day chart #585, at 9.15 am Ding-Si Hour chart #774), I entered casino towards Southeast direction where xxxx is at the SE on day chart.  Before entering, I waited for 45 minutes outside casino at the area of Northwest (opposite Southeast).  I won USD 1800 including two MINI JACKPOTS at USD 3xx-4xx each).  

****note:   I notice that the winning is about the end of the Ding-Si hour.  Is it because the element of hour is YIN?

Sample Imperial QMDJ Smart Chart

I also put the the chart of yesterday winning:

Friday 9 August (Ding Wei chart #644) and play at 11:15-13:00 Bing Wu Chart # 763). Waiting at the west area outside casino for one hour.  Then entering casino towards east direction where xxxx is at the east on HOUR CHART). the winning was very fast within 5-10 minutes.  I got one MAJOR JACKPOT (FaFaFa) usd 2xxx. 

****note: The quick winning, is this because of YANG element of the lucky hour?

This afternoon, I will play again at 5-7 pm same SE direction (has xxxx at hour chart on SE direction).

Many thanks for your effective QMDJ :)

I like to play slot machine, but my problem was I did not know how to control myself and keep playing and lost!!! But with this QMDJ method, I know the lucky hour to get the winning and run away from casino.

Regards

Smart
==============

After 6 months, I got the short message below from Professor Smart: 

Dear Ken,

Today 27 Feb at 12-2 noon time, I bang casino in xxxxxx (city in another country)  :-)
Was waiting at the west from 11:30-12 noon, then walked to casino and attacked casino.  I played slot machine maximum bet :-)

Won a lotttt :-)

I used your QMDJ method, I won a lot last year and this year.

Worth of investment to learn QMDJ :-)

Thanks!

Smart

========================
I have not shown my answers to Smart's questions here.  He also had a loss during one of his trips to casino and we had discussed the possible reasons for the loss.  Also I have not listed an important ingredient in the casino beating formula here.  I have not told Smart but he has figured it out himself.  In fact, he had done numerous tests and integrated "Destiny and Luck with Bazi" methods into his winning formula.  I have summarized that formula in one paragraph in the "Professional Imperial QMDJ" discussion list.  If you are observant and search this blog archive, you may figure out this "missing ingredient" easily. 

I do not want to promote Imperial QMDJ or any metaphysics method as a speculative or gambling tool.  There are other factors that control one's wealth attainment capability which are beyond control.

Besides praying for rain and beating the casino, there are many other practical applications of "Imperial QMDJ", like passing exams, interviews, sales quota, collecting debts, litigation and the like.  It is one of the most practical courses in my inventory.

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

To Russia with Love?

I am surprised that Russian readership for this blog has skyrocketed in last few weeks.  Usually over 50% of my readers are from USA.  Last 7 days or so, the number of Russian readers is almost doubled than USA readers.

But Russian students in my school are under-represented.  I need to do something to increase Russian representation.

Here I offer something better than love-- 15% off my video correspondence courses ordered from Russia in May  (2016).  Shipping cost is not discounted.

This is the first time 15% discount is offered to any country since the beginning of this school in 2003.

Bazi: 3-Penalties and Self-penalties

The top two most read articles of this blog over the years were written in March 2010.  Both articles involve 3-penalties--  "The 4P Secrets of Brother Shape Fashion Icon" and "Bazi: Tiger-snake-monkey and Dog-ox-ram 3-penalities".

http://kenlaifengshui.blogspot.com/2010/03/4p-secrets-of-brother-sharp-fashion.html
http://kenlaifengshui.blogspot.com/2010/03/bazi-tiger-snake-monkey-and-dog-ox-ram.html

To thank your support here, I write a little more on 3-penalties (3P) and add something new here-- self-penalties.

THREE PENALTIES
3-penalties are derived from the interactions between 3-unities (San-he) and 3-meetings (San-hui).   See the table below:

Formation:	Column 1	Column 2	Column 3
SAN-HE	SHEN	ZI	CHEN
and	penalizes	penalizes	penalizes
SAN-HUI	YIN	MAO	CHEN
SAN-HE	YIN	WU	XU
and	penalizes	penalizes	penalizes
SAN-HUI	SI	WU	WEI
SAN-HE	SI	YOU	CHOU
and	penalizes	penalizes	penalizes
SAN-HUI	SHEN	YOU	XU
SAN-HE	HAI	MAO	WEI
and	penalizes	penalizes	penalizes
SAN-HUI	HAI	ZI	CHOU

From column 1, we can derive:
a.  Shen-yin-si 3-penalties
b.  Hai-hai self-penalty

From column 2, we can derive:
a.  Zi-mao/ Mao-zi 3-penalties*
b.  You-you self-penalty
c.  Wu-wu self-penalty
* Some schools consider zi-wu-mao as a 3-penalties and not zi-mao

From column 3, we can derive:
a.  Chen-chen self-penalty
b.  Xu-chou-wei 3-penalties
 
STATIC vs. ACTIVE 3-PENALTIES
A "static 3P" is formed when a natal chart has all the 3 components of a 3P.  "Static" means little or no negative effect showing up yet.

A natal chart has only one or two components of a 3P and when luck periods bring in the remaining 3P component/s, the chart will have a "active 3P".  "Active" means the effect of 3P in action.

A static 3P becomes an "active 3P" when luck period/s bring in any one of the 3P components.  Effects of 3P (negative or positive depending on the chart) may occur to the person/ event represented by the palace/ star being clashed by the 3P luck element. 

Yin-si-shen: Penalty of Ingratitude 无恩之刑

People with yin-si-shen 3-penalties in their natal charts are likely rebellious, defiant and resistant to authority and discipline. The effects of this 3P are traffic accidents, surgeries, injuries, losing wealth, imprisonment and sickness. 

Xu-chou-wei: Penalty of Upper-hand Bullying 恃势之刑

This 3P is not as serious as yin-si-shen because it is all earth elements coming together.  Males with this penalty are mostly involved in imprisonment.  For females, xu-chou-wei 3P within natal chart means a tortuous life.  They are likely neurotic, superstitious, not too smart (due to too much earth), jinxing close relatives and prone to surgery and miscarriage. 

Zi-mao: Penalty of impertinence 无礼之刑

Zi is water and mao is wood.  Zi and mao are both "peach blossom" elements.  This 3P may involve disaster or losing wealth due to lust or improper relationship.  It may also be an over-protective parent spoiling her child ("too much water rotting/ floating wood") or a child demands too much from his parent ("too much wood dries up water").  Translating to reality, this means one's well-intended assistance may not be accepted by other party OR the other party takes one's help for granted and asks for more.  I also find people with this penalty in their chart are likely be blamed for whatever nice things they do for others instead of getting appreciation.

Negative effects of 3P can be mitigated if there are "Nobleman" (symbolic stars) like Tian-yi Nobleman within their charts.  My "Destiny and Luck Management with Bazi" courses also have methods to neutralize or reduce the effect of 3P.

 Self-penalties  (自刑) “zi xing”

This is based on the principle of same polarity repels. The following are self-penalties:

--Wu and wu

--Chen and chen

--You and you

          -- Hai and hai

People with self-penalty are stubborn, cannot let go and like to dwell on trivialities.  They are likely "shooting themselves on the foot" type and have depression tendency.
