Bazi: Who will benefit you most?

With Bazi knowledge, you may be able to figure out who will help you or benefit you most if you know their animal signs or birthday.  The term "nobleman" is used in Bazi to represent one's helpful person, mentor and supporter.

1.  People with Chinese zodiac animal sign that combines with your animal sign
-- you are likely to get along with them easily and help each other out.   For example, if your animal sign is rat, people with ox, monkey, or dragon are likely your helpful people.  Below are animal pairs that combine with each other.

• rat and ox      
• tiger and pig
• rabbit and dog
• dragon and rooster
• snake and monkey
• horse and ram
• rat and dragon
• monkey and rat
• snake and rooster
• rooster and ox
• tiger and horse
• horse and dog
• rabbit and pig
• rabbit and ram
• tiger and horse
• horse and dog

2.  People with birth season that nurtures or enhances the favorable elements of your birth chart.   For example, if your favorable element is wood, people who were born in water or winter season or in wood or spring season, will be your "noblemen". 

3.  People who come from the direction represented by your favorable element are likely to be your "noblemen".   For example, if wood is your favorable element, people coming from east and southeast of your city (or birth place, country) are likely your "noblemen" (Note:  you need Bazi knowledge or find a Bazi reader to figure out your favorable element). 

4.  The transformation star ("10-gods") represented by the favorable element ("yong-shen" or "useful god") of your chart is your "nobleman" or helpful person.    For example, if you are a metal daymaster (DM) and wood is your favorable element-- wood stands for "wealth" for you.  Wealth also represents wife, lover and father.  So these people are likely helpful to you.  Below is the people represented by corresponding transformation stars:

TRANSFORMATION STAR (Your favorable element)	PEOPLE REPRESENTED (your likely helpful people)
ZY +resource= Zheng-yin 正印 PY –resource= Pian-yin 偏印	Old generation, teachers, mother
JC +peer= Jie-cai  劫财 BJ –peer= Bi-jian 比肩	Coworkers, competitions, friends, business partners, siblings, classmates
SS +output= Shi-shen 食神 SG +output= Shang-guan 伤官	Junior generation, students, subordinates, kids for female
ZC +wealth= Zheng-cai 正财 PC –wealth= Pian-cai 偏财	Wife/ mistress for male; father

5.  This is more for Chinese or Japanese people-- people's name with the element of your favorable element are likely your noblemen.  For example, water is your favorable element.  Someone with water prefix or element in their name will be your "nobleman".

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
