"Excess Code" in Bazi “多”字诀

The "Excess Code" in Bazi summarizes the potential consequence of an excessive transformation star or "10-gods" in a Bazi chart. "Excess" means three or more of a certain star showing up in a chart.

Below is the code:

财多愚，才多劳；

Excessive -wealth (pian-cai) = stupidity
Excessive +wealth (zheng-cai) = working hard for money

官多贱，杀多死；

Excessive +power (zheng-guan) = humble/low life
Excessive -power (qi-sha) = illness, injury or even death

印多孤，枭多凶；

Excessive +resource (zheng-zin) = loneliness/ alone
Excessive -resource (pian-zin) = ominous

食多愁，伤多害；

Excessive -output (shi-shen) = worrisome
Excessive +output (shang-guan) = troublesome/ harmful

刃多残，劫多败，

Excessive yang-knife/ -peer (jie-cai) = disability/ handicap
Excessive +peer (bi-jian) = failures

禄多贫；马多奔波，

Excessive +peer (bi-jian) = poverty
Excessive travelling horses (yin, shen, si or hai) = running about, toiling

冲多不安，合多热情；

Excessive clashes = instability, insecurity
Excessive combinations = warmth, passionate, sociable

阳多坦荡，阴多深沉；

More yang than yin pillars = open, honest and non-calculative
More yin than yang pillars = sullen and introvert personality

墓库多克六亲。

Numerous tombs/storages (chen, xu, chou and wei) = jinxing close relatives

Like most codes in Bazi and Feng Shui, this code does NOT give the context or conditions for application. But it is not difficult to figure out because there are likely only two possibilities-- whether the star is favorable or not favorable.

Street fortune-teller secret codes for marital predictions 江湖看婚姻秘诀

In traditional or ancient China, many street fortune tellers were illiterate or blind or both. How did they learn Bazi or 4-pillars reading?

They had learned the trade by reciting poems or "trick songs" like the ones presented below. The poems are mostly based on empirical experience in the field and not may not based on Bazi theory or logic.

These poems predict marital situations based on the day pillar of a client. The stem of a day pillar represents the daymaster or the chart owner. Day branch is the spouse palace representing the wife or husband of the daymaster.

BAZI POEM ON MARITAL SITUATIONS

男骑白马走天下，女骑白马犯桃花。Male riding a white horse travels the world. Female riding a white horse violates peach blossom. (White is metal color. This means Geng-wu day-pillar. Both male and female with this day pillar are prone to peach blossom or affairs).

男骑红马犯重婚，女骑红马要三婚。Male riding a red horse commits bigamy. Female riding a red horse will marry thrice. (Red is fire color. This means Bing-wu day-pillar. Both male and female with this day pillar are prone to marital disasters).

男骑黄马要离婚，女骑黄马犯多婚。Male riding a yellow horse will divorce. Female riding a yellow horse will marry multiple times. (Yellow is earth color. This means Wu-wu day-pillar. Both male and female with this day pillar are prone to marital disasters).

男骑青马过朝庭，女骑青马挤破门。Male riding a green horse will become a government official. Female riding a green horse breaks the family door. (Green is wood color. This means Jia-wu day-pillar).

男见青牛想情人，女见青牛多郎人。Male with a green ox thinks mistress. Female with a green ox has many lovers. (This means Yi-chou day-pillar).

男捉黄蛇恋二婚，女捉黄蛇主重婚。Male catching a yellow snake will marry twice. Female catching a yellow snake commits bigamy. (This means Ji-si day-pillar).

男打黑鼠想女人，女打黑鼠爱别人。Male beating a black rat thinks about women. Female beating a black rat loves outside men. (Black is water color. This means Ren-zi day-pillar).

男养青狗克妻子，女养青狗克丈夫。Male raising a green dog jinxes wife. Female raising a green dog jinxes husband. ( This means Jia-xu day-pillar).

男养黑鸡防婚变，女养黑鸡再嫁人。Male raising a black rooster should beware of marriage upheavals. Female raising a black rooster will marry again. (This means Gui-you day-pillar).

男养白猪情人多，女养白猪婚变多。Male raising a white pig has many lovers/ mistresses. Female raising a white pig has many marriage upheavals. (This means Xin-hai day-pillar).

男养黄猴多情人，女养黄猴没郎人。Male raising a yellow monkey has many lovers/ mistresses. Female raising a yellow monkey has no husband. (This means Wu-shen day-pillar).

男养青兔要变婚，女养青兔要离婚。 Male raising a green rabbit has marriage upheavals. Female raising a green rabbit will divorce. (This means Yi-mao day-pillar).

男养白鸡爱别人，女养白鸡爱情人。Male raising a white rooster loves outside woman. Female raising a white rooster has lovers. (This means Xin-you day-pillar).

男捉黑蛇风流人，女捉黑蛇再嫁人。Male catching a black snake is flirtatious and romantic. Female catching a black snake will marry again. (This means Gui-si day-pillar).

男养白猴难成婚，女养白猴婚难成。Male raising a white monkey has problem getting married. Female raising a white monkey is difficult to get married. (This means Geng-shen day-pillar).

男打白鼠伤妻子，女打白鼠另嫁人。Male hitting a white/metal rat hurts/jinxes wife. Female hitting a white/metal rat is difficult to get married. (This means Geng-zi day-pillar).

男驾青龙妻克夫，女驾青龙夫克妻。Male riding a green dragon gets a husband-jinxing wife. Female riding a green dragon gets a wife-jinxing husband. (This means Jia-chen day-pillar).

In general, people born with the above day pillars are more "likely" suffering marital setbacks and problems. It will be more serious if their natal chart composition is less than satisfactory, with problems like bigamy, multiple marriages, divorce, life and death separation, affairs, dumping the spouse or being dumped.

The above 17 day-pillars out of a possible 60 are mostly involving Zi, Wu, Mao and You day-branch or rat, horse, rabbit and rooster animal signs. This is because Zi, Wu, Mao and You are the peach-blossom or romance elements in Bazi.

"Ghost"-- Cat Edition

My 12 year old ginger cat Tiger had crossed the rainbow bridge a few weeks ago. I had buried him in my backyard under a small tree. This tree becomes his memorial.

I took out garbage at midnight yesterday because I forgot the follow morning is our weekly garbage collection day. While I had pushed the garbage container to the curb side, I heard some faint meow noises from the backyard.

The meow sounds became louder and louder. I had looked toward the sound source with a little apprehension. Suddenly I saw a ginger cat showing up from darkness.

My heart had almost stopped and felt chills in my spine. My first thought was "Tiger comes back? Cat ghost?"

This cat had stared at me and followed me into my garage.

He looks like Tiger in terms of fur color and physical size. He had walked around and "inspected" the garage. I got some cat food for him to eat.

He did not eat much. Unlike a homeless or stray cat, this is a clean and well-fed cat.

I had read stories about heart-broken pet owners getting a replacement pet out of the blue after their pets had passed. They attribute it as a "gift" or reincarnation of the deceased pet. Is this my turn?

While I was pondering should I let this cat meet my resident cat in the house, I had discovered that he has a red collar around his neck with a tiny pendant.

I took out the collar and read the pendant. "*PUMPKIN* Outdoor Cat 123-456-7890"

The area code of the phone number is my district. This is a neighborhood cat named Pumpkin!

Pumpkin had rolled on the floor for tummy rubs and petting. It had played with me for a few minutes.

Then Pumpkin had stared at the garage door.

I opened the garage door to let Pumpkin go. He had looked at me for a few seconds and disappeared in the darkness.

I guess my cat Tiger had taken over Pumpkin's body to see me one last time before moving on. He had passed while I was sleeping.

RIP Tiger

Ken

UPDATE: May 11, 2025

My son returned home around mid-night today. A ginger cat had followed him into our garage. It was Pumpkin again-- almost at the same time 1 year and 1 days ago. He seems to recognize me. I had played and petted him for around 10 minutes and let him go. Is this another sign from Tiger?

Interchangeability of 10 Transformation Stars 十神变通

In Bazi, 10 transformation stars ("10 gods", "transtar" for short) represent a person's family relatives and also social relationships. Some natal charts have all the 10 transtars while others may have missing stars. How do we interpret a chart with missing transtars? If a chart has missing +resource star (zheng-yin, mother), does it mean this person has no mother?

There are two ways to handle this problem.

I. SUBSTITUTE THE ORIGINATION OF THE MISSING STAR

When a chart has missing +peer (jie-cai), substitute its origination of +resource (zheng-yin)
When a chart has missing -peer (bi-jian), substitute its origination of -resource (pian-yin)
When a chart has missing +output (shang-guan), substitute its origination of +peer (jie-cai)
When a chart has missing -output (shi-shen), substitute its origination of -peer (bi-jian)
When a chart has missing +wealth (zheng-cai), substitute its origination of +output (shang-guan)
When a chart has missing -wealth (pian-cai), substitute its origination of -output (shi-shen)
When a chart has missing +power (zheng-guan), substitute its origination of +wealth (zheng-cai)
When a chart has missing -power (qi-sha/ pian-guan), substitute its origination of -wealth (pian-cai)
When a chart has missing +resource (zheng-yin), substitute its origination of +power (zheng-guan)
When a chart has missing -resource (pian-yin), substitute its origination of -power (qi-sha/ pian-guan)

II. SUBSTITUTE STAR WITH SIMILAR NATURE

Detecting mean woman from her birthday 泼妇八字

This article lists the Bazi characteristics of mean or difficult woman. Chinese uses "pōfù" (泼妇) or "fierce and unreasonable woman" to denote this type of woman. The closest English word to match this Chinese word is "bitch". The contents here do not mean for strong and/ or career women.

This article enables you to check if someone is a mean woman by using her birthday without meeting her. This is helpful in making hiring, partnership or dating decisions.

BAZI CHARACTERISTICS OF MEAN WOMAN

1. Chart with strong +output star (shang-guan) in both stem and branch levels:

Jia-wood daymaster with strong Ding-fire
Yi-wood daymaster with strong Bing-fire
Bing-fire daymaster with strong Ji-earth
Ding-fire daymaster with strong Wu-earth
Wu-earth daymaster with strong Xin-metal
Ji-earth daymaster with strong Geng-metal
Geng-metal daymaster with strong Gui-water
Xin-metal daymaster with strong Ren-water
Ren-water daymaster with strong Yi-wood
Gui-water daymaster with strong Jia-wood

Woman with strong +output star has bad temperament, opinionated and likes to handle things HER ways. Other people have extreme difficult to sway her decisions. If this chart also have +power star, this stubborn and strong characters will be more evident.

2. Chart with yang-knife (+peer/ jie-cai) in branch level:

Jia-wood daymaster with Mao-wood in any branch
Yi-wood daymaster with Yin-wood in any branch
Bing-fire daymaster with Wu-fire in any branch
Ding-fire daymaster with Si-fire in any branch
Wu-earth daymaster with Wu-fire in any branch
Ji-earth daymaster with Si-fire in any branch
Geng-metal daymaster with You-metal in any branch
Xin-metal daymaster with Shen-metal in any branch
Ren-water daymaster with Zi-water in any branch
Gui-water daymaster with Hai-water in any branch

Woman with yang-knife in her chart has strong individuality/ personality. If this yang-knife is penalized or clashed, she is even more bitchy, confrontative and resistant. If chart has yang-knife, -power (qi-sha) and -resource (pian-yin), this woman is calculative, arbitrary and very difficult to interact with.

3. Chart with mixing of + and - power stars (guan-sha mixing up) and DM is strong:

Jia- or yi-wood daymaster with Geng-metal and Xin-metal in stem level and Yin-wood and Mao-wood in branch level. Birth month is Yin, Mao, Hai or Zi.
Bing- or Ding-fire daymaster with Ren-water and Gui-water in stem level and Si-fire and Wu-fire in branch level. Birth month is Yin, Mao, Si or Wu.
Wu- or Ji-earth daymaster with Jia-wood and Yi-wood in stem level and Chen-, Wei-, Xu-, Chou-earth, Si-fire and Wu-fire in branch level. Birth month is Chen, Wei, Xu, or Chou.
Geng- or Xin-metal daymaster with Bing-fire and Ding-fire in stem level and Shen-metal and You-metal in branch level. Birth month is Chen, Shen, You, Xu or Chou.
Ren- or Gui-water daymaster with Wu-earth and Ji-earth in stem level and Hai-water and Zi-water in branch level. Birth month is Hai, Zi, Shen or You.

Woman with this "guan-sha mixing up" in her chart has no principle and plays tricks. It is difficult to get rid of her once she "attaches" to you.

4. Chart with numerous + and - peer stars (bi-jian/ jie-cai):

Jia- or yi-wood daymaster with numerous Jia-, Yi-, Yin- and Mao-wood
Bing- or Ding-fire daymaster with numerous Bing-, Ding-, Si- and Wu-fire
Wu- or Ji-earth daymaster with numerous Wu-, Ji-, Chen-, Xu-, Chou- and Wei-earth
Geng- or Xin-metal daymaster with numerous Geng-, Xin-, Shen- and You-metal
Ren- or Gui-water daymaster with numerous Ren-, Gui-, hai and Zi-water

Woman with numerous peer stars in her chart lacks reasoning, thinking/ planning, is impulsive and likes to do things rashly.

Don't get mad if your chart matches one or more of the above features. One should look at the WHOLE chart and not just the features above to determine DM is a mean person or not. Very often, the presence of certain star can turn these mean features into advantages. For example, a chart with numerous peer stars but also with at least a power star to keep peer star in check, DM can accomplish great feats.

Finally, women have no monopoly of being mean. Men could also be mean and hideous. But the male version of Bazi characteristics are different to certain extent.

How to check one loves his wife or mistress more?

There is a saying in Taiwan about the nature of man-- "Nine out of ten men cheat. The 10th man is impotent."

While this may be a sweeping generalization, but it is pretty close to the truth or world population would have been much smaller.

In this article, we utilize the power of Bazi or 4-pillars astrology to find out if a man loves his wife or mistress/ girl friend more by examining certain feature in his birth chart. "Mistress or girl friend" here is defined as a woman who have repeated sexual relationship with a married man. This does NOT include the one-night stand affairs.

BAZI FEATURES OF MAN WITH MISTRESS/ GIRL FRIEND

1. Chart with -wealth star (pian-cai) stronger than +wealth star (zheng-cai): -Wealth star represents mistress and +wealth star wife for a male chart. When -wealth star is stronger than +wealth, it implies his mistress is more capable than wife. Hence this man tends to prefer or love the mistress more.

2. Chart with -wealth star (pian-cai) exposed in stem level and +wealth star (zheng-cai) hidden in branch level: -Wealth star showing up in stem level means mistress is visually seen in public with this man. This also means husband interacts with mistress more in public. This may also be a type of showing off. +Wealth star is hidden in stem level means husband rarely goes out with wife. He may be uncomfortable to show off wife in public with him. In short, this implies mistress has higher priority or status in this man's mind.

3. Chart with +wealth star (zheng-cai) "gaining position" 妻星得位 and strong: In Bazi, "gaining position" happens when a +wealth star sits in spouse palace or day-branch. If a husband chart with +wealth wife star gaining position or with nurturing by other star or with multiple +wealth stars, this means wife is strong, capable and intolerant of a mistress. This husband is also likely a "wife-fearing" person or even bullied by his wife.

4. Chart with multiple -wealth stars (pian-cai): This means -wealth mistress star is strong and with stronger karma connection with husband. He is likely to love the mistress more than the wife. He may even have no love or feeling for wife.

The above info is useful for any woman to weed out potential unfaithful partner before investing too much energy and resources on the guy.

Bazi can also predicts who will win in a love triangle like 2 women fight for a husband, 2 men fight for a wife, who will cheat in a marriage plus many other life events and even Feng Shui and date-selection!
