Babies with a 4-rabbits chart

Babies born in this upcoming March 10 from 5-7am (2023) will have a quad-rabbits chart (click pix to enlarge):

Chart with 4 identical branches has a major or even fatal disadvantage-- when one branch is clashed by a luck period, like in this case, when rooster or You year arrives, all branches will be clashed and shaken the chart to the core.

When all the branches of a chart are clashed, it implies major misfortune or even death.

Mao-you clash usually involves negative romance or sexual scandal.  If not, traffic accident or surgery due to wood and metal battling.

4 rabbits or Mao-wood has an additional major disadvantage that may be worse than mao-you clash.  When rat or Zi year comes, 4 zi-mao penalties will be formed which is one of the 3-penalties, known as "Penalty of Ingratitude".  Some teachers think this penalty is more severe than clashes.

Is the Year of Rabbit dangerous for you?

This question can be answered by checking your Bazi chart.  Year 2023 is the year of water-rabbit or Gui-mao.  If your chart has a pillar that is antagonistic or opposite to Gui-mao, it means you are battling the rulers of the year-- Gui-water is the "Year ruler" (歲君) and Mao-rabbit is the Grand Duke of the year.

Charts with the following pillars have the greatest "danger" because they are battling with the the year ruler and Grand Duke:

• Ding-you  (fire-rooster)
• Ji-you  (earth-rooster)

If any of these pillars is your day-pillar, it means the clash is on you or the daymaster!  This could mean serious illness, injury or even death.  You should very worry and careful if you are currently in-between 33- 48 years old.

If any of these pillars is your year-pillar, it means your parents or senior relatives may have issues this year. 

If any of these pillars is your month-pillar, it means your siblings or parents may need to be cautious this year.   If you are over  60 years old, clashing the month pillar is not a good sign because is considered as "the dam" of your chart.

If any of these pillars is your hour-pillar,  your children may be in trouble.

Please check this link for the meanings of mao-you clash:

Ken's Cyber Cave: What Happens when Rabbit clashing Rooster 卯酉冲 (kenlaifengshui.blogspot.com)

Charts with the following pillars have the great "danger" because their branches penalizing Grand Duke and forming the infamous "Penalty of Impertinence"-- one of the three penalties.  This penalty may involve disasters or losing wealth due to lust or improper relationship. 

• Jia-zi  (wood-rat)
• Bing-zi  (fire-rat)
• Wu-zi  (earth-rat)
• Geng-zi  (metal-rat)
• Ren-zi  (water-rat)

Bazi Characteristics of Psychics, Mediums and Metaphysicans

If you have one or more of the following characteristics in your Bazi chart, you could become a psychic, medium, metaphysics person and the likes easily.

Bazi charts with:

1. Zheng-yin/ pian-yin (resource stars):  People with resource stars in both stem and branch level are likely to have psychic ability, studying and practicing religions/ metaphysics related careers.
2. Mao-you clash:  People with this clash in their chart has strong intuition and sixth sense.  My own "psychic antenna" suddenly turns on when I have a mao-you clash luck period. 
3. 4-cardinal elements:  zi, wu, mao and you is the 4-cardinal elements with relatively pure and strong water, fire, wood and metal energies.  These elements also represent north, south, east and west 4-cardinal directions. They are also the 4-peach-blossom elements.  Hence it is not uncommon to hear sex scandals in these circles. 
4. Strong shi-shen/ shang-guan (output stars):  Output stars represents intellect and intuition.  People with strong output stars are sensitive to different frequencies of energies. 
5. Strong pian-yin (-resource):  Resource stars stand for reception of signals from the universe and knowledge.  Zheng-yin (+resource) stands for main-stream signals and religions.  Pian-yin (-resource) stands for non-traditional signal and religions.   
6. Jia-wood and ding-fire in stem level:  Jia-wood is the first element of the 10-stems.  Ding-fire stands of starry light.  When ding-fire meets Jia-wood in a chart, it will brightly lit up Jia-wood for a long time. 
7. Gui-water daymaster (DM):  Gui-water is the yin-est element of the 10-stems.  Yin element is associated with supernatural ghostly/ psychic events.  Gui-water DM usually is soft-spoken, passive and sensitive to yin elements and supernatural phenomena.    
8. Yin-day and yin-hour birthday:  These are people who were born in yin days/ hours.  Yin days/ hours are days/ hours with yi, ding, ji, xin, and gui stems and chou, mao, si, wei, you and hai branches. People born in yin day/hour can easily attain psychic ability.  If all the 4 pillars in a chart are yin, this DM could be a spokesperson for deity or spirit.  
9. Huá gài shen-sha (Loner-talent 华盖):  Hua-gai is the symbolic star for someone interested in metaphysics and religions.  People with this star are usually religious, intelligent but non-sociable.  Most metaphysics students, including myself, have this star in their charts.   Check below to see if you have this star:

• If your day-branch is:  shen, zi or chen, your hua gai is chen
• If your day-branch is:  hai, mao or wei, your hua gai is wei
• If your day-branch is:  si, you or chou, your hua gai is chou
• If your day-branch is:  yin, wu or xu, your hua gai is xu

10. Tai-ji Nobleman Shen-sha (太极贵人):  This star stands for interest in mysterious and divine knowledge.  You have this star:

• if your day-stem is Jia- or Yi-wood with BOTH zi and wu 
• if your day-stem is Bing- or Ding-fire with BOTH mao and you 
• if your day-stem is Wu-earth with BOTH chen and xu 
• if your day-stem is Ji-earth with BOTH chou and wei 
• if your day-stem is Geng- or Xin-metal with BOTH yin and mao
• if your day-stem is Ren- or Gui-water with BOTH si and shen 

You should take my Chinese metaphysics courses below if you have one or more of the characteristics listed above.  You don't want to waste your metaphysics talent.

The meanings of major branch clashes in a Bazi chart are summarized as follow:

3. Yin-shen clash:  nosy, minding/ interfering with other people's business 
4. Si-hai clash:  too eager to help; nosy
5. Chen-xu clash:  jinxing or injury to close relatives, especially wife and children
6. Chou-wei clash:  encountering obstacles all the time

4-BRANCH ELEMENTS CLASHES

• Chen-xu-chou-wei 4-storages clash:  changing job/ career but not geographical location or residence
• Yin-shen-si-hai 4-sub-cardinal clash:  changes in both residence and job/ career 

PILLAR CLASHES (fan-yin)

1. Year and month pillar clash:   leaving hometown to make a living

5. Day and year pillar clash::  little or no relationship/ karma with grandparent generations

If month pillar clashes day pillar, it is likely marriage related.  If day pillar clashes month pillar, it is likely family relationship/ harmony related.

P.S.  Someone claim the above info as "Blindman Bazi School perspective on clashes".  If one believes, one must have been born yesterday.   Similar info can be found in most standard Bazi texts written hundred of years ago.  This is a known marketing scheme in certain parts of Asia to label any Bazi info as "Blindman School" and tempt people to buy the same Bazi info again.

What Happens when Rabbit clashing Rooster 卯酉冲

2017 is the Year of Rooster.

In Chinese Metaphysics, zi-wu-mao-you (rat-horse-rabbit-rooster) are the four cardinal directions with strongest energy among the 12 branches.  Rooster clashes rabbit or you-metal clashes mao-wood.  This is a serious and high intensity clash because you has the purest metal energy and mao the purest wood energy.   

Individuals with mao-wood in their Bazi birth charts or current luck period/s, are subject to mao-you clash in 2017.  Below are a list of possibilities of what may happen.

1.  Mao stands for fists and you for knives-- fists and knives imply brawls or fighting.  Mao-you clash could mean injury (by metal object) and imprisonment.  You is the qi-sha (power star) of mao.  It has violence signal for mao.

2.  Mao stands for string and you for handcuff-- this could mean hands are tied or handcuffed.  Mao-you clash can mean prison gate is closed and locked, i.e. imprisoned.

3.  Mao stands for cars and boats, when clashed by you,  means traffic accidents.  In 2011 Xin-mao year and you-month, China and Korea had serious ship sinking incidents with numerous fatalities.

4.  Mao stands for eyes, when clashed by you, stands for eye illness or shedding tears.  Mao also stands for liver and you lungs.  When mao and you clash and hurt each other in a chart-- represent liver and lung sickness.

5.  The Chinese word  卯  (mao) looks like a female uterus.  So mao-you clash can also stand for uterus problems for females resulting in surgery (using knives or you-metal), especially if the mao is in hour branch.

6.  You belongs to the Dui trigram which represents young female, wine, damage, blood, sperms.... Mao belongs to the Zheng trigram which represents male, hands...  Mao-you clash has implications for affair and lust.  This clash also stands for divorce or separation between a couple due to lust/ affair.

7.  Mao-you clash also stands of killing, like the slaughtering of rabbits and chicken.

8.  People with mao-you clash in their natal charts are talkative and good at expressing themselves.  But they also like to yell at people.

"Ken, is there any remedy or cure for mao-you clash?"

House and People Violating Grand Duke or Tai-sui

This post is based on 2015 "Grand Duke Talisman charity drive" with updates for 2017.

If you have read my old message about functions of Grand Duke, you know that there are two Grand Dukes watching over your shoulder, counting the good and bad deeds that you have done and executing rewards and misfortunes accordingly. This is a major rationale that donation to get your Grand Duke talisman.  When your talisman is grounded with a charitable deed, GD is less likely to execute any misfortunes due from your karma account. Another rationale for donation is the exchange of energy-- using a charitable deed in exchange of protection energy from Grand Duke.

For 2017, I have added the topic for house violating Grand Duke, the cure is either avoiding activities/ earth-digging or using the Grand Duke talisman in the Grand Duke location.

2017 GRAND DUKE GENERAL TANG JIE   唐杰
2017 is Ding-you or year of fire-rooster. Grand Duke for the year is General Tang Jie who was a military officer in Song Dynasty (618- 907).  Tang was born with super physical prowess.  He was humble and respected by local folks.  He had passed the government military officer exam and become a military officer.   

General Tang was ordered to stop the bandit disturbance in the South.  He had neutralized the bandit chief and decapitated 58 bandits.   Local people were no longer under the threat of plunder and killing.  The government had rewarded Tang with higher rank and silver.

丁酉太歲生於唐代安鄉〈今湖北省安鄉縣〉，名唐杰，字子文。自幼練習武藝，因而身體碩壯。更有一身特殊奇大的力量，在挑擔和舉重時表現突出。然而也受嚴格的禮教，所以待人十分謙讓，為地方人敬重；遇到有人仗力欺辱鄉民時，大家就請唐杰出來主持公道，唐杰只要出面，紛爭就自然平息下去。後來唐杰順利地在科考中考上武舉人，使他出生地大感光彩。因武舉人比一般文舉人還困難，不但要考武藝兵學，也要考基本的文科。當時，南方盜寇動亂，唐杰奉旨到南方平定寇亂，斬殺為首的賊子多人，又乘勝追殺賊寇於桃花岡，斬賊首等五十八人，立了平定賊寇的奇功，使鄉民不再被搶奪殺害。因此，朝廷賜蟒服、銀兩等給與獎勵。唐杰的功勛和德行，受到普遍的推崇。

2017  GRAND DUKE TALISMAN FOR BAZI CLASHES

Ding-you or year of  fire-rooster can be challenging for people with Gui-mao or Xin-mao pillar in their Bazi charts because these pillars "fan-yin" or "battle" with both the stem and branch of the Grand Duke.  It is especially serious if your day-pillar is  Gui-mao or Xin-mao because it means something may happen to you or your spouse.

In addition, besides the year branch, if any of the branch in your Bazi chart has a mao-rabbit, that branch is also clashing Grand Duke.  The effect may be seen from the people and events represented by that branch location.  For example, if you have a mao month branch clash, the effect may happen to daymasters' parent or sibling.

 Here are the four groups of people who need Grand Duke Talismans:
 1. "Fu-yin" or same animal sign of Grand Duke 值太岁-- people with rooster sign
ROOSTER : years born-- 1945, 1957, 1969, 1981,  1993, 2005, 2017  
Symptoms: obstacles, stagnation or running "reverse" instead of forward and not suitable for travels.  Damages in career and wealth luck and relationship.  Rooster also "self-penalizing" itself when runs into rooster year.

 2. "Fan-yin" or "clashing" the animal sign of Grand Duke 冲太岁-- people with rabbit sign
RABBIT: years born-- 1939, 1951, 1963, 1975, 1987, 1999, 2011  
Symptoms: big fluctuations in luck, wealth, career, relationship and health; traffic accident, hurt by metal object, sickness, surgery, losing competitions/wealth, moving, death,  negative romance, quarrels and etc.
SPECIAL NOTE:  Mao-you clash is a powerful clash involving wood and metal battling-- negative romance causing serious financial loss or even death or traffic accidents and surgery (injuries by metal).  If your chart has zi-rat, it will get even worse.  If your chart has both zi-rat and wu-horse, pump up your life insurance policy because you have all the 4-cardinal clashes elements-- zi, wu, mao and you.

 3. "Hai" or "prosecuting" the animal sign of Grand Duke 害太岁-- people with dog sign
DOG:  years born-- 1934, 1946, 1958, 1970,  1982, 1994, 2006  
Symptoms: backstabbing at work, bad interpersonal relationship, jealousy from others, emotional problems, success slips away in the last minute and low Feng Shui luck.

 4. "Po" or "damaging" the animal sign of Grand Duke 破太岁---- people with rat sign
RAT:  years born-- 1948, 1960, 1972, 1984, 1996, 2008
Symptoms: interpersonal relationship problems, negative romance, marital problem, backstabbing, skin and nervous system problems-- due to over-confidence and extreme/ radical positions.

 GRAND DUKE TALISMAN FOR FENG SHUI REMEDY
1.  House violating Grand Duke

Click to enlarge

In 2017 ding-you year, if your house faces You-rooster mountain or W2 (262.5 to 277.5 degree, west) direction, your house is said to be "violating Grand Duke."  House violating GD will affect the overall luck, health and well-being of the people living inside.  The remedy is either avoiding movements, construction, earth-digging and demolition there or put up a Grand Duke talisman facing W2 direction.  The opposite side of Grand Duke is Year-breaker (Sui-po, E2 or east).  This location should avoid digging and activities too. 

Even with the GD talisman, if you need to do construction, you still need to do a date-selection for an auspicious date and start digging on a non-GD direction and finish last on the GD direction.  I have checked through the year of Rooster and compiled a construction calendar with dates that can over-ride the effect of Grand Duke, San-sha and 5-yellow star.  Please look for info in this blog in the near future. 

2.  Desk violating Grand Duke 
If your desk or wherever you sit for an extended time faces You-rooster mountain or W2 direction, you can put up a Grand Duke talisman there for protection.  It is not auspicious to face the Grand Duke direction.  It weakens your competition power in business/career and examinations. However, if you arrange your seat so that W2 will be at your back (and put a Grand Duke talisman there), you will get Grand Duke as support and is good for competition and business. 

3.  Moving direction violating Grand Duke
If you move to a new house or residence, the relative direction from your old house to the new house is facing W2 grand Duke direction, you are considered "violating GD".  Remedy will be choosing an auspicious date to move or at the least, choose a different route of traveling, like driving to a different direction in the beginning, take a break for 15 minutes or more and then to the final destination.  This will convert the original GD direction to a non-GD direction. You may carry a GD talisman too. 

4.  Marriage direction violating Grand Duke
If you get married and the relative direction of your new marital residence to the old residence is facing SW2 grand Duke direction,  you are considered "violating GD".  Remedy will be choosing an auspicious date to move or at the least, choose a different route of traveling, like driving to a different direction in the beginning, take a break for 15 minutes or more and then to the final destination.  This will convert the original GD direction to a non-GD direction.  You may carry a GD talisman too.


 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.  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 karma credits 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.  city
3.  country

Get your Grand Duke Talismans before Feb. 3, 2017 if possible.  Year of Rooster will start on Feb. 3, 2017.  Your individually consecrated digital talisman will be emailed to you in about 2 weeks after receiving your proof of donation.

Thank you for participating in this charity drive.
