Bazi: Is a strong daymaster better than a weak one?

The first step of a Bazi reading is to determine if the client has a "strong" or "weak" daymaster (DM) by counting the supporting and non-supporting elements in the birth chart.  "Daymaster" is a term for describing the owner of a Bazi chart.

Unfortunately, the terms "strong DM" and "weak DM" seem to infuse value judgment to some clients.  They may think a "strong daymaster" is better than a "weak" one.

While there are some distinct personality and physical characteristics associated with strong and weak DM, they are by no means "better" or "worse" but "different". 

The ultimate yardstick to measure, regardless of DM strength ("weak" or "strong"), is if there are more favorable than unfavorable luck periods (10-years-luck) in a chart.  For example, the favorable elements of a strong metal person are non-supporting elements like fire, wood and water.  Unfavorable elements are supporting elements like metal and earth.

If this strong metal DM has mostly metal and earth luck periods, especially during his first few 10-year-luck periods, this DM will not have a good life.

On the other hand, if this is a weak metal DM, metal and earth are his favorable elements.  If his luck periods are mostly metal and earth luck, he will enjoy a good life despite being a weak DM.

Similar logic also apply to "chart quality".  One can have the chart of a king but with mostly unfavorable luck periods-- his life will not be better than a born humble person with favorable luck periods.  For examples, King Louis XVI was guillotined during the French Revolution and Tsar Nicholas II was assassinated in 1918.

"Good luck periods are more important than a good birth chart" is the saying in Bazi.

Could getting married change your luck? 结婚转运?

"Change luck" here means someone has less than average or low luck before marrying.  His/ her luck changes significantly after getting married.

In general, people who have low or below average luck during their teen and early adult life have strong unfavorable elements in the year and month pillar of their Bazi charts.  This is because year and month pillar represent these age periods and also family background.

In addition, more than likely, their first two or three10-years-luck periods are mostly unfavorable too. 

People who will get better luck after getting married IF their Bazi charts have the following features:

1.  Spouse star is favorable in the chart:  For male, the spouse star is wealth star (zheng-cai) and female is power star (zheng-guan).
2.  Spouse palace (day-branch) is favorable:  This means the element occupying spouse palace is favorable to the chart.

Of course, there are people with their luck changed for the better after marrying but does not have the above two features in their charts.  This is likely due to their 10-years-luck is favorable at time of marriage and is NOT attributed to the act of marrying.

Smart readers would figure out that the opposites of #1 and 2 in a chart mean worse (not better) luck after getting married!

Feng Shui: Wealth-losing doors 破财门

Door location and its surrounding critically affect the Feng Shui of a house, especially its wealth aspect.  Below is a list of "wealth-losing doors" based on Form Feng Shui.  How these doors affecting wealth losses is not discussed here to keep this blog short. 

WEALTH-LOSING DOORS
1.  Door facing a corridor (inside a building) or road:  this is also called "heart-piercing sha" (一剑穿心 ).
2.  Door facing a downward or upward stair:  this is called "wealth retreating stair" (退财梯).  Downward stair leaks wealth whereas upward stair loses wealth opportunities to others.
3.  Door facing an elevator:  this is called "qi or energy absorbing stair" (吸气梯).  Qi or wealth energy of a house or apartment is "drawn" away by the elevator.
4.  Two or more doors in a straight-line to end of house or backdoor/ window:  Wealth energy from outside goes straight to outside of house.
5.  Door is too narrow or small, thus limiting wealth energy flow into the house.
6.  Door is damaged, broken or has cracks:  this is called "qi-leaking door" (漏气门) and implying leaking wealth.
7.  "See-three door" (三见门):  "Three" here means seeing toilet, kitchen and mirror when entering through the door.  All are not good for wealth energy.

Remedies for these doors are mostly using screen doors.  Consult a Feng Shui practitioner or take my Form Feng Shui course for remedies.

Protection from earthquake 唐东杰布抗地震咒轮

I had planned to post this talisman yesterday but cancelled in the last minute.  Then Los Angeles has a pretty strong earthquake this morning.....

The talismans below are the color and mono-color versions of a Tibetan deity or "Maha-siddha" Thangtong Gyalpo (大成就者 唐东杰布 , 1385- 1464 ).   This talisman offers protection from earthquake.  For the life history of this deity, please check:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thang_Tong_Gyalpo

PROTECTION FROM EARTHQUAKE TALISMAN

HOW TO USE THIS TALISMAN
1.  Print out the color or mono-color talisman in whatever size you want.  For examples, wallet size for carrying around with you or page size to be put in your altar or wall facing the main door.
2.  Activate the talisman by making a donation to your favorite charity/ food-shelf or doing a good deed like feeding a homeless person or stray animal ("exchange of energy").
3.  Carry the talisman with you or put it in your altar (or wall facing main door).
