Influences of unfavorable element in Bazi 八字忌神

In Bazi, unfavorable element or "annoying god" (ji-shen) refers to for an element that is detrimental to the person or "daymaster" (DM) of the natal chart owner.

Unfavorable element causes "imbalance" in a chart that may create misfortune, sickness and disasters.  One of the goals of Bazi reading is to find out one's unfavorable element and make preparations and remedies to mitigate its effects.  

The negative influences of unfavorable element can be observed from the ten transformation stars or "10-gods" representing these elements:

1.  Zheng-cai or +wealth star is unfavorable:  low wealth luck and salary or income, work/ career problems; high work output or effort with low return.

2.  Pian-cai or -wealth star is unfavorable:  poor luck in non-regular income, likely to lose money in gambling, speculations, stock and investments

3.  Zheng-guan or +power star is unfavorable:  problem getting promotion in career or official position; unlikely to work for government;  hard to rise through the ranks even if working for government.

4.  Qi-sha (pian-guan) or -power star is unfavorable:  Qi-sha represents "mean people", back-stabbers, illegal groups; prone to getting involved with Mafia-type people or being bullied; feeling pressure or being prosecuted; also lacking performance or achievement in career.

5.  Zheng-yin or +resource star is unfavorable:  stands for low academic background and performance; +resource star also represents helpful mentor or nobleman;  this person lacks helpful mentor and must be self-reliant to achieve success.

6.  Pian-yin or -resource star is unfavorable:  This represents the senior relatives of chart owner are not healthy and is prone to being dragging down or implicated by them.  This also means lacking relationship or communications with family members.

7.  Jie-cai or +peer star is unfavorable:  This stands for disharmony with siblings.  This person appears to have many acquaintances but few real friends.  This also means s/he tends to overwork.

8.  Bi-jian or -peer star is unfavorable:  This stands for siblings are likely financially unstable and not helpful to this person.  It also means s/he is likely implicated or dragging down by his/her siblings.

9.  Shang-guan or +output star is unfavorable: This person is prone to quarrel, dispute, gossip or scandal and likely to have sex scandal.  +Output star also stands for mental fatigue and tough working conditions.

10.  Shi-shen or -output star is unfavorable:  This stands for depression due to no one recognize or hire one's talent.  This could also mean one's thought is out of reality or unrealistic.

Meaning of star combinations in Bazi

 "Stars" here mean "transformation stars" or "10-gods" in Bazi.  When stars within the natal chart and/or from luck period combine, it could be positive or negative depending on the final product is favorable or unfavorable to the chart.  By checking these combinations (and also clashes, not covered here) from annual and 10-year-lucks, we can predict what events are likely happen to the daymaster (DM or chart owner).

Below are meanings of these combination of 10 transformation stars:

1. Male DM (daymaster) combines with +wealth star (zheng-cai) = husband has good relationship with wife
2. Female DM combines with +power star (zheng-guan) = wife has good relationship with husband
3. Wealth star (cai) combines resource star (yin) = DM's parents have good relationship
4. -Power star (qi-sha) combines with DM = DM befriends people with bad influences
5. Male DM's +wealth star (zheng-cai) combines with -peer star (bi-jian) = wife has lover/s (affairs)
6. Female DM's +power star  (zheng-guan) combines with -peer star (bi-jian) = husband has mistress (affairs)
7. Male DM's wealth star (cai) combines with resource star (yin) = wife has good relationship with mother-in-law.

There are conditions or environment to meet for two different elements to combine.  Some teachers consider these conditions "top secrets".  My Bazi course manuals has detailed info on this topic.

Secret of Mind-reading in Bazi

It is not unusual to see a Bazi reader taking a quick glance of a Bazi natal chart and spelling out some characteristics and life events of the client without thinking.  Is this Bazi reader a mind-reader?

The trick is to memorize the simple info below.

In general, when a client chart has numerous or none of a certain 10 transformation stars ("10-gods"), some deductions or generalizations can be made about this client.

When a chart 命局 has numerous ("numerous" means 3 or more): 

1. +wealth (zheng-cai)-- likely a stupid person 财多愚
2. -wealth (pian-cai)-- likely working hard for money 才多劳   
3. +power (zheng-guan)-- likely a lower class or humble person 官多贱
4. -power (qi-sha)-- likely dies prematurely or tragically 杀多死
5. +resource (zheng-yin)-- likely alone (widow/ widower/ orphan etc.) 印多孤
6. -resource (pian-yin)-- likely a vicious/treacherous person 枭多凶   
7. +output (shang-guan) --  likely a provocative or challenging person 伤多害       
8. -output (shi-shen) -- worries too much 食多愁
9. yang-ren (knives)--  likely has disability/ handicap 刃多残
10. +peer (jie-cai)-- encounters more failures than successes 劫多败  
11. -Luk (-peer, bi-jian)  likely living in poverty 禄多贫
12. traveling horses (yin, shen, si, hai)-- running around hectic working 马多奔波
13. clashes -- unstable/ insecure life 冲多不安
14. combinations--  a sociable an enthusiastic person 合多热情     
15. yang pillars--  an open-minded and frank person with no hidden agenda 阳多坦荡
16. yin pillars--  a sullen and calculated person 阴多深沉
17. tombs/storages--  jinxing close relatives 墓库多克六亲，

When a chart does not have a certain transformation star, it also has similar predictions made above except in different directions.  You may find out the details in my Bazi discussion group. 

Caution:  You need to read the whole chart to ascertain if the above pointers fit the person.  The demeaner, attitude, physical appearance and clothing style could also give hints if this straight deduction based on 10 transformation stars applies or not.   Another precaution is that special chart may not work with the above deductions.  For example,  it is quite common for special profile charts with 3+ of the same stars.  So the above is likely not applicable.

Bazi Characteristics of Childless Women

Below are the Bazi characteristics of women who are likely remain childless or at the most, giving birth to girls and not boys.

1.  Strong DM (daymaster, the woman) with strong resource stars (zheng-yin/ pian-yin) but no wealth star (zheng-cai/ pian-cai).  For example, strong Jia-wood DM with strong water but no earth.

2.  Weak DM with strong output stars (shang-guan/ shi-shen) but weak resource stars (zheng-yin/ pian-yin).  For example, weak Jia-wood DM with strong fire but weak water.

3.  Weak DM with strong wealth stars (zheng-cai/ pian-cai) meeting resource stars (zheng-yin/ pian-yin).  For example, weak Jia-wood DM with strong earth and water.

4.  Weak DM with strong power stars (zheng-guan/ qi-sha).  For example, weak Jia-wood DM with strong metal.

5.  Charts with any one of the following conditions:

• over-strong fire and dried earth
• strong wet earth and metal
• over-strong water floating wood
• freezing metal and cold water
• numerous resource stars
• over-strong power and wealth stars
• too many output stars

The reasons behind the above are given in my private Bazi discussion groups along with this article.  You can easily figure it out if you convert the transformation stars ("10-gods") into 5-elements relationship and yin-yang balance.

How to check marital bliss: self edition

Believe it or not, you can find out if your marriage rocks, so-so or sucks from the day-pillar of your Bazi chart.

The first part or stem of your day-pillar represents you, the "daymaster" or DM.  The second part or branch is the "spouse palace" and represents your spouse.  The "star" sits in your spouse palace will give you a glimpse of your marital bliss.

Don't worry if you do not know Bazi.  You can read the Appendix below to figure out your day-pillar using your birthday.


MARITAL BLISS IN TERMS OF DAY-BRANCH

1.  Male day branch with zheng-cai or pian-cai  (wealth star)
Day Pillars:  Yi-chou, Yi-wei, Bing-shen, Ding-you, Wu-zi, Ji-hai, Geng-yin and Ren-wu.  乙丑，乙未，丙申，丁酉，戊子，己亥，庚寅，壬午
-- Wealth is the wife star for a male daymaster.  Wealth sits in spouse palace for a man is called "Star and palace in the same place" 宫星同位.  This usually stands for a happy and perfect marriage.  If wealth star is also favorable, it means this man getting rich through wife or enjoying wife's wealth. (Rating: Best)
 
2.  Female day branch with zheng-guan or qi-sha (power star)
Day Pillars:  Jia-shen, Yi-you, Ding-hai, Ji-mao, Geng-wu, Xin-si, Gui-chou and Gui-wei. 甲申，乙酉，丁亥，己卯，庚午，辛巳，癸丑，癸未
-- Power is the husband star for a female daymaster.  Power star sits in spouse palace for a woman is called "Star and palace in the same place" 宫星同位.  This usually stands for a happy and perfect marriage.  If power star is also favorable, it means this couple love each other deeply and enjoy fame and wealth. (Rating: Best) 

3.  Both male and female day branch with zheng-yin or pian-yin (resource star) 
Day Pillars:  Jia-zi, Yi-hai, Bing-yin, Ding-mao, Wu-wu, Ji-si, Geng-chen, Geng-xu, Xin-chou, Xin-wei, Ren-shen and Gui-you 甲子，乙亥，丙寅，丁卯，戊午，己巳，庚辰，庚戌，辛丑，辛未，壬申，癸酉
-- Resource stands for mother or older generation.  Resource star sits in your spouse palace means your spouse is like your mother nurturing and pampering you.  A Chinese saying goes "Marrying a mother-like wife or father-like husband" 娶妻像娘，嫁夫如父 .  This usually stands for a happy marriage.  It would be perfect If resource star is also favorable.  (Rating: Good)

4.  Daymaster sitting on Shi-shen or Shang-guan (output star)
Day Pillars:  Jia-wu, Yi-si, Bing-chen, Bing-xu, Ji-you, Geng-zi, Xin-hai, Ren-yin and Gui-mao. 甲午，乙巳，丙辰，丙戌，己酉，庚子，辛亥，壬寅，癸卯
-- For male, output star nurtures wealth or wife star. So even output star is not the right star to sit in spouse palace, it still enhances wife star.  This situation will be good for strong male DM that favors wealth star (means a good marriage), but unfavorable for weak male DM (implying a disharmonious marriage). (Rating: OK)
-- For female, output star controls power or husband star. So not only output star is not the right star to sit in spouse palace, it further hurts husband star.  This usually means a less than satisfactory marriage if not jinxing the husband. (Rating: Bad)

5.  Daymaster sitting on  Bi-jian or Jie-cai (peer star)
Day Pillars:  Jia-yin, Yi-mao, Bing-wu, Ding-si, Wu-xu, Wu-chen, Ji-wei, Ji-chou, Geng-shen, Xin-you, Ren-zi and Gui-hai. 甲寅，乙卯，丙午，丁巳，戊戌，戊辰，己未，己丑，庚申，辛酉，壬子，癸亥
--Peer star stands for competitions, friends and siblings which will "snatch" wealth away.  When it sits in the spouse palace, it means competition to take your spouse away if not jinxing the wife! 
-- For male DM, with peer instead of wealth star inside spouse palace, it is the "sign" for wife being "snatched" away.  This means marital disharmony and affair. (Rating: Bad)
-- For female DM, with peer instead of wealth star inside spouse palace, it is the "sign" for husband being "snatched" away.  Wealth nurtures power (husband) in Bazi.  But peer "snatches" wealth away and weakens the husband.  This means marital disharmony and affair.  This also has a relatively higher divorce rate. (Rating: OK)

This is a quick-and-easy way to check one's marital bliss.  A more accurate reading would be taking into consideration of other stars and not just the star inside the spouse palace.
