No digging zones in 2023

 
Year of Tiger will end in two months.  Next year will be the Year of Rabbit with its own "no digging or construction" zones that may be still "diggable" before Feb. 4, 2023.

Below is a quick review of "no-digging zones" for 2023 Year of Rabbit:

1. East or Mao mountain is the Grand Duke location
2. East or Zhen palace is the location of 2-black sickness star
3. West or Dui palace are the locations of San-sha (3-killings)
4. Northwest or Qian palace is the location of 5-yellow disaster star

In short, do not dig in the East, Northwest and West sectors in 2023 or serious disasters and misfortune may strike.  There are some Feng Shui and date-selection methods to circumvent it.  

You either dig these locations before the end of this Tiger Year or consult a Feng Shui practitioner if you will dig these locations next year.  Here is a reminder of the "no-digging zones" for current year: North, Northeast, Southwest and center palace.

Date-Selection and Russian Attack on Ukraine

Earlier this month I have written about major events are likely to happen in the month of tiger (Feb. 4 to March 5, 2022) and month of monkey (August 7 to Sept. 6, 2022).

Ken's Cyber Cave: Will history repeat in the Year of Water Tiger? (kenlaifengshui.blogspot.com)

Russia attacks Ukraine today (Feb. 24, 2022) month.  This could be a major event in world history with far reaching significance. 

One striking characteristic of today in terms of date-selection is:  the day is very inauspicious!  It is a Wu-shen or earth-monkey today.  Monkey clashes tiger in the Chinese zodiac.  Tiger is the Grand Duke or ruler of current year.  Coincidentally,  current month is also a tiger month.  So today is:

• a year-breaker day (Sui-po)-- today clashes the year ruler
• a month breaker day (Yue-po)-- today clashes the month ruler
• Wu-shen day fan-yin or battles both the year and month pillar

A day with these many "violations" is definitely not ideal to start a war.  The likely effects of using this day to start something are:

·        Frustrations. Things do not flow.
·        Arguments and conflicts.
·        Business negotiations will be unsuccessful.
·        Contracts and marriages are unsuccessful.

Let's wait and see if this day will work against Putin or not.

Will "Year of Water Tiger" good for you?

Year of Water Tiger (ren-yin) has arrived.  Will it be good to you? 

EFFECTS OF YEAR OF WATER TIGER ON INDIVIDUALS

In terms of energy, water-tiger means strong wood energy.  Bazi astrology categories people in five energy profile groups-- metal, wood, water, fire and earth.  An individual's up and down or luck is the results of interaction between these primal energies and annual energy.  Below are luck predictions for these 5 groups of people for the year. 

Please check the appendix below if you do not know your energy profile or daymaster (DM) element.

LUCK PREDICTIONS ATTRIBUTED TO STRONG WOOD ENERGY

1.  Metal daymaster:  Wood to a metal DM are wealth, father, wife/ mistress (to male).  Strong wood energy, if favorable to the chart,  means better wealth and romance luck; if negative, means losing wealth/ father, affair, wife or girl friend being "snatched" away by close friends.

2.  Wood daymaster:  Wood to a wood DM are siblings, peers, friends, partnership, cooperation and competitions.  Strong wood energy, if favorable to the chart, means better wealth luck and cooperation; if negative, means sickness, losing wealth or wife.

3.  Water daymaster:  Wood to a water DM are talent, IQ, junior generation, subordinates, expression, showmanship, wealth source and children (to female).  Strong wood energy, if favorable to the chart,  means better artistic/ self-expression/ wealth/ mentor/ culinary luck, using one's talent to produce wealth,  if unfavorable,  it means losing husband (for female), poverty and sickness.

4.  Fire daymaster:  Wood to a fire DM are mother, senior generation, academic achievement, protection, nurturing, real estate, reputation, and document,  Strong wood energy, if favorable to the chart,  means better mentor luck, buying real estate and academic advancement; if unfavorable,  it means DM toiling with no leisure time.

5.  Earth daymaster:  Wood to an earth DM are superior, senior generation, career, power, fame, restriction, punishment, lawsuit and husband/ lover (to female).  Strong wood energy, if favorable to the chart,  means better career luck,  better romance luck for female; if unfavorable,  it means losing job, lawsuit, sickness and affair (for female).

Consult a Bazi reader or take the following course if you want to know if wood or any element is favorable or unfavorable to you.

“4-Pillars Forecasting Bootcamp+ 2022 edition” with 18 hr. video

The above predictions are "generic" in nature because a more accurate prediction needs to take in the consideration of other elements of individual Bazi chart. 

Now comes to more serious problems that some people may have.  If your Bazi chart has the following pillars in any position:

• Bing-shen
• Wu-shen

These 2 pillars are "fan-yin" on battling with current ren-yin year of water tiger.  These are serious clashes especially if it is your day pillar (this means YOU or your spouse get the hit!).  It will be 3x negative if your chart also contains Si-snake (forms Yin-si-shen 3-penalties).  I suggest you go get the advice of a Bazi reader or take these courses:

“Destiny/Luck Mgmt. 2: Basic Bazi Therapy w/18 hr. HD video
“Destiny/Luck Mgmt. 3 w/ Advanced Bazi Therapy w/18 hr. HD video

WHICH MONTHS ARE MORE CRITICAL?

The intense effects, whether positive or negative, in both societal and individual levels, are likely to surface within this current tiger month due to its concentration of tiger or wood energy (Feb. 4- March 5, 2022).  People with monkey Chinese zodiac animal sign should avoid travel and be extra cautious when driving during this tiger month.

The next intensive month is likely be Monkey month (August 7 to Sept. 6, 2022), the seventh month of the solar year.  This is because monkey (metal energy) clashes tiger (wood energy) in the Chinese Zodiac.  Year energy clashes with month energy. People with tiger or monkey animal sign should be cautious during travel or driving in this month of monkey.

Triple tigers days, Quad-tigers chart babies and saving people with monkey branch charts

 Below is an exercise for my Bazi groups.

===========================

The year of water-tiger will come in a few days.  The first month of this solar year coincidentally is a water-tiger month.

I have discovered an interesting situation-- there will be three "triple-tigers day" or "three Quad-tigers hour" in this tiger month.

Here is a fun game for you (you will run away if I say "question")-- below are the charts for both male and female babies born in these 3 days.  I already did the hard work creating the charts for you. (Click picture to enlarge)

1.  FEB. 6. 2022  YIN HOUR

Which chart is better-- male or female?

2.  FEB. 18, 2022 YIN HOUR

Which chart is better-- male or female?

3.  MARCH 2, 2022 YIN HOUR

  

Which chart is better-- male or female?

Out of the 6 charts above, which one will you choose to have your baby born at that date?

PEOPLE WITH SHEN-MONKEY IN THEIR CHARTS

How can you find if you have any monkey in your chart?  Click the following link and key in your birthday and hour.  Click the "Calculate" button.  Scroll them to check the chart at left side and look for any grey color box with "Monkey" label on it.

BaZi Calculator (bazi-calculator.com)

Now comes to the life-saving part-- if your chart has only one shen-monkey, imagine it is being clashed by 3 or 4 tigers (4 if you are stupid enough to travel at 3 am in the morning); it could be serious injury or even death!

If you have more than one monkey in your chart-- it is even worse because with more monkeys, they will not "surrender" but battle with the tigers and consequently causing more damages!  An extreme scenario is one with 4 monkeys in his chart-- all branches will be clashed and the person may die.

If unfortunately your chart with monkey/s also has a si-snake, either in the natal chart or from luck period, you hit the yin-si-shen 3-penalties jackpot-- common misfortunes are traffic accident, severe injury/ illness or losing big wealth.

3-Penalties quite often jinx daymaster's  (DM, the chart owner) close relatives (and DM too).  How do you estimate who gets hit in your family? (answer is in one sentence is in my Bazi groups discussion, but if you have read my past blogs about pillars, the answer is there).

People with monkey in their chart will be better off avoiding traveling in the "triple tigers days".  The chance of running into misfortune is high, especially if your current luck is on the low side.  If you can find a missile silo near you, hide yourself there for the "triple tigers day".

If you are a member of the positive thinking club, here is your good news--  3-penalties may bring sudden fame and wealth to people though statistically speaking, x_;_x happens more often than goodies. I shall blog about the joy of Year of Tiger in near future to keep you "positive".

Take my "Destiny & Luck Management" courses with Bazi if you want to know the remedies.

Is the death of Kobe Bryant due to Grand Duke effect?

Professional basketball player Kobe Bryant had died of a helicopter crash on January 26, 2020 at 9am+.  Here is the chart when the crash had occurred:

Year (annual luck):  JI-HAI     

Month: DING-CHOU

Day: WU-CHEN

Hour: DING-SI

Color shows the energy distribution of the chart:  yellow is earth; blue is water; red is fire; grey is metal and green is wood

 

You may notice now is still Year of Pig even though Chinese Lunar New Year has passed.  Geng-zi or Year of Metal Rat will arrive on Feb. 4, 2020.

Kobe's birthday is August 23, 1978; hour here is estimated based on his physical appearance and personality

Year:  WU-WU

Month: GENG-SHEN

D: DING-SI

H: JIA-CHEN (estimated)

10-Year-Luck:  JIA-ZI

Annual Luck:  JI-HAI

 

Upcoming Annual Luck:  GENG-ZI

Click picture to enlarge

From the detailed color-coded Bazi charts, you can tell there are many red boxes or fire elements and few blue boxes or water elements.  However, when examine carefully, there are 3 strong water formations:

1. shen-zi-chen water 3 unities
2. hai-zi-chou water 3 meetings
3. si-shen water combination

However, these combinations are not successful because there is no transformation medium ("fa-shen") water element in the stem level. 

 

There are also two serious clashes in the branch level:

1. si-hai clash in spouse palace (day branch)
2. zi-wu clash in year branch

Could the above contribute to the crash?  Probably not because Kobe was just 7 days short of making it to the Year of Rat.

 

However, helicopter crash is clearly zi-wu clash or water clashing fire.  The helicopter flew in foggy condition and had circled a few times due to poor visibility before hitting a hill.  Fogs are water vapor.

 

Kobe was a strong Ding-si fire daymaster and had died in a Ding-si fire hour! 

The interesting thing here is:  Hai Grand Duke is about to leave and Zi Grand Duke will come in February 4.  I have observed that it is not uncommon for people suffer major mishaps when there is a switch of new Grand Duke  (annual luck) or new 10-year-luck, especially the new one is unfavorable.  It seems the changing of annual energy is not overnight but gradual---  for example,  Geng-zi year has not arrived yet but its influence is already felt.  Geng-zi is strong water energy.

 

In Kobe's case, I suspect Geng-zi energy begins entering the earth already and reinforces water energy to battle fire energy in Kobe's chart, such as two zi-water to clash one wu-fire.  Unfortunately, the helicopter had flown in strong fire hour of Ding-si which further intensified the fire-water battle.  I wonder if the accident could be avoided if the flight was in a non-fire hour.

In this example, it does not matter if fire or water is favorable or not.  When two antagonistic elements with strong intensity exist in a chart, they will battle and create hardship or even death for the chart owner.  In Kobe's case, there is a jia-wood "mediator" in the chart, so that water will nurture wood and wood nurtures fire to avert the battling  (Note:  there is a geng-metal in the natal chart, but it is surrounded by fire and rendered it ineffective).  But when Geng-zi year arrive (in this case, it has not arrived yet), geng-metal chops jia-wood, the mediator is gone resulting in fire and water battle to death.

RIP Kobe

Minimalist Feng Shui for 2018

This is a "green" article recycled from last year with updates.  If you are darn lazy, simply read the following picture and go back to your sweet dream.

No digging/ movements in regions with blue arrows:

• Region between 142.5- 217.5 degrees  (San Sha and 5-yellow locations)
• 247.5- 292.5 degrees (2-black star)-- use metal cure
• 292.5- 307.5 degrees (Grand Duke)
• 112.5- 127.5 degrees (Sui-Po or year-breaker)

"Minimalist Feng Shui"  here fixes only 2-5, 5-5, and 9-5 star combinations in regions with activities.  You don't need to put up remedies or Feng Shui monsters in all 9-palaces of your house, especially in region with no activity like storage room or guest room.

This year Sui-po (year-breaker) is in the 8-wealth star region.  Be very careful with the location where you put your water-fountain or other wealth-enhancement monsters.

You should do a good date-selection if you need to do construction in any of the above locations with blue arrow (mountains/ palace).  San-sha and 5-Yellow star share the same location this year.  Make sure you do not provoke their "anger" by digging and movements there.

People with dragon and dog zodiac signs should avoid seeing corpse being put into a coffin or burial for this year if they don't want bad luck and sickness.

Yang nobleman sign for this year is Chou (ox).  Yin nobleman is Wei (ram).

2018 Wu-xu Feng Shui year will start on February 4 @ 5:30 am.  Remember to move your Feng Shui monsters/ remedies before that time.  Do a house-cleaning/ cleansing on Feb. 3 if you have suffered misfortunes during 2017 ding-you year.

6 Types of annual luck that can make your life miserable

In Bazi or 4-Pillars, there are six types of annual luck that you should pay close attention to.  It is because major events-- pleasant or unpleasant, are likely to occur within those years.

1.  Violating Grand Duke (日犯岁君)
Grand Duke means the current year pillar "fan-yin" (opposite of) your day-pillar. For example, current year (2015) is yi-wei. Yi-wei is the Grand Duke of the year.  If your day-pillar is ji-chou, you are "violating Grand Duke".  This is inauspicious and stands for disaster, sickness or accidents.

2.  Real Grand Duke (真太岁)

"Real Grand Duke" means the one's year pillar "fu-yin" (is identical to) current year pillar or annual luck.  This will happen once for every individual when he turns 60.  For example, current year (2015) is yi-wei, people who were born in 1955 will have their year-pillar fu-yin to current year.  If  the day-pillar and 10-year luck pillar of this person do not clash, harm or penalize Real Grand Duke,  he will be all right.  If otherwise, disasters or misfortune may strike.  

3.  Day-pillar and Annual luck pillar are identical (日年相齐)
This means day and annual luck pillars are "fu-yin".  If birth hour and annual luck pillar do not clash, penalize or "harm" each other, then the person will be all right.  For people with low quality 4P chart or vicious symbolic stars,  they will likely to suffer mishaps.  For those with high quality charts, they are likely to be promoted and running into good luck.

4.  Annual luck and 10-year-luck pillar are identical (岁运并临)

This means annual luck and 10-years-luck pillars are "fu-yin" or identical. If the stem and branch of these luck pillars are unfavorable, the person will suffer mishaps.  If favorable, double the benefits or blessing.

5.  Annual luck and 10-year-luck pillar are clashing (运岁冲克)

This means annual luck and 10-years-luck pillars are "fan-yin" or clashing. For example, yi-wei annual luck with ji-chou 10-year-luck.  This always stands for losing wealth, accidents or funeral.

6.  10-year-luck period switching to Jia (行运换甲)

This means a gui-water 10-years-luck switching to a jia-wood 10-year-luck.  For example, switching from gui-chou to jia-yin 10-year-luck.  This is especially unfavorable for older people.  Even the ordinary 10-year-luck switching points will likely be the problematic years.

Minimal date-selection for the masses

Note:  The following is an excerpt from the "Days to avoid" chapter of  my "Practical Date-Selection Methods" video course.  It is modified here for people who cannot afford this video course for the time being. So they can at least avoid some bad dates.

DAYS TO AVOID

Regardless of the date-selection system you are using, you should not use certain days within a year.  Remove these days from your consideration will reduce the number of days to analyse.

Generally, it is still possible to use these days IF other methods say that they are good. In particular, you may use them if the four pillar analysis shows that the day is strong in your favorable element and some other date-selection methods, like XKDG also approves it.

There are 7 types of days to be avoided:

1.      Year Breaker (Sui Po)

2.      Month Breaker (Yue Po)

3.      Day Breaker (Ri Po)

4.      Big Consumption (Da Hao)

5.      Yearly San Sha

6.      Monthly San Sha

7.      Daily San Sha

For simplicity and practical purposes, we will cover only year, month and day breaker here plus an important tip at the end of this message (the course manual covers everything listed above).  This should be suffice for common applications.  The goal here is not choosing the best date but to avoid bad dates, which is much easier to do for non-professionals.  No bad things happen to you is the next best thing to good things happen. 

Year Breaker (Sui Po)

If you use a year breaker day:

·        Frustrations. Things do not flow.

·        Arguments and conflicts.

·        Business negotiations will be unsuccessful.

·        Contracts and marriages are unsuccessful.

YEAR BREAKER DAYS

Year  branch	Animal	YEAR BREAKER Day Branch		Year  Branch	Animal	YEAR BREAKER Day Branch
Zi	Mouse	Wu  (horse)		Wu	Horse	Zi  (rat)
Chou	Ox	Wei (ram)		Wei	Ram	Chou  (ox)
Yin	Tiger	Shen (monkey)		Shen	Monkey	Yin  (tiger)
Mao	Rabbit	You (rooster)		You	Rooster	Mao (rabbit)
Chen	Dragon	Xu  (dog)		Xu	Dog	Chen (dragon)
Si	Snake	Hai  (pig)		Hai	Pig	Si  (snake)

E.g. 2015 is a Yi Wei  (ram)  year.  Wei (ram) clashes Chou (ox). Avoid Chou (ox) days.

If possible, avoid using the month that breaks the year as well.  In some scenarios,  you  may not be able to avoid a whole month if the activity or event must be held within the month.

Month Breaker (Yue Po)

If you use the month breaker day:

·        Frustrations. Things do not flow.

·        Arguments and conflicts.

·        Business negotiations will be unsuccessful.

·        Contracts and marriages are unsuccessful.

MONTH BREAKER DAYS

Month  Branch	MONTH BREAKER Day Branch		Month  Branch	Month breaker Day Branch
Zi	Wu  (horse)		Wu	Zi  (rat)
Chou	Wei (ram)		Wei	Chou  (ox)
Yin	Shen (monkey)		Shen	Yin  (tiger)
Mao	You (rooster)		You	Mao (rabbit)
Chen	Xu  (dog)		Xu	Chen (dragon)
Si	Hai  (pig)		Hai	Si  (snake)

E.g. May 12, 2015. This is a Xin Si (snake) month. Si (snake) clashes Hai (pig). Avoid Hai (pig) days within the Si (snake) month during the year.

Day Breaker (Ri Po)

This is slightly different from Sui Po and Yue Po. The day is broken by the animal sign of the hour. This is relatively minor, compared to the other two breakers.

If you use a day breaker hour:

·        Frustrations. Things do not flow.

·        Arguments and conflicts.

·        Business negotiations will be unsuccessful.

·        Contracts and marriages are unsuccessful.

DAY BREAKER HOURS

Day  Branch	DAY BREAKER Hour Branch		Day  Branch	DAY BREAKER Hour Branch
Zi	Wu  (horse)		Wu	Zi  (rat)
Chou	Wei (ram)		Wei	Chou  (ox)
Yin	Shen (monkey)		Shen	Yin  (tiger)
Mao	You (rooster)		You	Mao (rabbit)
Chen	Xu  (dog)		Xu	Chen (dragon)
Si	Hai  (pig)		Hai	Si  (snake)

E.g. July 15, 2015. This is a Ren Chen (dragon) day. Chen (dragon) clashes Xu (dog). Avoid Xu  (dog) hour  within a Chen (dragon) day.

How to find or calculate the animal signs of a date and hour?  Simply go to the following website and type in the target date and hour.  

http://bazi-calculator.com/

To get the animal signs, you need to click the box options in the top right side of the screen as show here.  That is, choose "Ken Lai Method" and "Pillars: English" options.

You will find the animal listed at the branch (EB) level of the :

Sample Chart showing April 9, 2015; 10:55 am

-- year pillar (to find out your birth animal sign if keying in your birth date;  or if you key in the target date, the year pillar will be the Grand Duke or the animal sign of the year)

-- month pillar  (month animal sign)

-- day pillar  (day animal sign)

-- hour pillar (hour animal sign)

Besides avoiding year, month and day breakers, the date/time chosen should not clash the animal sign/s of the user/s.  If you cannot avoid clashing someone's animal sign in a group situation, simply avoid clashing the principal or bread-winner of the family or company.

To summarize, when choosing a date, avoid clashing:  the current year's Grand Duke (Tai Sui) or animal sign,  the animal sign of the month,  the animal sign of the day and the animal sign of the user or client (dead or alive).

However, for important events and activities, you probably should consult other date-selection methods like XKDG, QMDJ,  4-Pillars and etc., or hire a professional to do the date-selection for you.
