How to find your helpful people and directions

In Bazi, there is a symbolic star called "Tian-yi Nobleman" that stands for helpful people available when a person is in trouble or danger.

The calculation of Tian-yi Nobleman requires knowledge of Bazi and construction of a Bazi natal chart.  This may be too much for some people.  Here is a simple method to figure out your noblemen or helpful people based on your Chinese zodiac animal sign.

Nobleman animal sign:  snake, rat, dragon
Nobleman Direction:  SE, N

ROOSTER (years born: 1945, 1957, 1969, 1981,  1993, 2005, 2017, 2029, 2041)  
Nobleman animal sign:  dragon, snake, ox
Nobleman Direction:  SE, SE, NE 

DOG (years born: 1934, 1946, 1958, 1970,  1982, 1994, 2006, 2018, 2030, 2042)

Nobleman animal sign:  tiger, rooster, ram
Nobleman Direction:  NE, E, SW 

NOTE:  If a person was born between January 1 and February 3 of the year, his/ her animal sign would be the sign of previous year (due to the Chinese solar calendar).  For example, someone born in January 1 of 2016 (year of monkey) should have the ram sign of 2015.

HOW TO USE NOBLEMAN DATA AND DIRECTION
After you have located your "nobleman" animal signs and direction, you can use it the following ways:
1.  People with animal signs that match your nobleman are likely get along with you better and helpful to you.  So you try to make friend and partner with people with these animal signs.
2.  Nobleman directions are the direction for you to:  i.) seek help;  ii.) escape;  iii.) looking for opportunities/ profits/ wealth

Female Secrets for a "Good" Marriage

"Good" here does not mean "perfect" but satisfactory or slightly above "average".  Below are the 4-pillars or Bazi characteristics of women with good or better than average marriage.  I have included related tables for you to check if your own natal chart has these characteristics.  Simply click on the tables to enlarge them.  You need to go to bazi-calculator.com to generate your own Bazi chart first before using these tables.

BAZI CHARACTERISTICS OF WOMEN WITH GOOD MARRIAGES 
1.  Natal chart with "Zheng-guan/ Zheng-cai" (ZG/ ZC) OR "Zheng-guan/ Pian-cai" (ZG/ PC)
-- Zheng-guan (+power) represents husband for female chart.  ZC and PC are wealth elements. When a female chart has ZG/ZC or ZG/PC combination, DM will have a higher chance of marrying well, especially if ZG is the favorable element (yong-shen). 

2.  Natal chart with "Zheng-guan/ Zheng-yin" (ZG/ ZY) OR  "Zheng-guan/ Pian-yin" (ZG/ PY)
-- Zheng-yin and Pian-yin stand for "resource" elements.  Power star (husband) nurtures resource star.  Female DM with power star nurturing resource star is emotionally stable, traditional, family-oriented and dedicated to husband and children.  Hence, she has a stable marriage though it is not too romantic.

3.  Natal chart with "Qi-sha/ Shi-shen" (QS/ SS) OR  "Qi-sha/ Shang-guan" (QS/ SG)
--  Female chart with strong output star usually is not good for marriage.  But if it has Qi-sha (-power) being controlled by output star, it fosters a good marriage.  There may be some small ups and downs but it will not significantly affect the marriage.

4.  Female Day Pillar with one of the followings:  Jia-zi, Yi-hai, Ding-hai, Gui-si, Ding-you, Ji-hai, Gui-mao and Ji-you.
-- These day pillars have good branches that either nurtures the DM, is the husband star or wealth star or Nobleman star for the chart.  Hence a good marriage is expected.

5.  Female day-branch has Tian-yi, Tian-de or Yu-de Nobleman
-- These are auspicious symbolic stars (shen-sha) for female.  They may neutralize any disharmony in a marriage.

Self-penalty, 3-penalties and sickness

Note:   The following is an excerpt from the chapter "CLASHES, PENALTIES AND COMBINATIONS" of the Reference Manual of "Applied Bazi: Sickness Forecasting & Management" course. 

If a chart has 3-penalties like yin-si-shen, chou-xu-wei or chen-wu-you-hai self-penalties AND has no Tian-de天德 or Yue-de月德 or Tian-yi Nobleman天乙贵人 to neutralize the problem, DM (day-master) will suffer many sicknesses and disasters throughout his life.  This problem is more acute if DM is weak with unfavorable luck periods.   

Of course, there are a very small number of people become famous or rich when they run into 3-penalties due to good Feng Shui of their residence or ancestral tombs.  However, for average citizens, they are likely to encounter sickness, disasters or undesirable affairs. 

Yin-si-shen 3-penalties:  Also for charts with yin-shen-si-hai,  DM is prone to injury from brawl, falling down, collision, falling object and sharp object. 

Chou-wei-xu 3-penalties:  Also for charts with chou-wei-xu-chen,  DM is prone to dermatological problems, spleen, stomach, intestinal or acute infectious diseases. 

Heaven, earth and human penalties: It is very inauspicious if each group of 3 branches all show up below-- it could be death (not absolute). 

* Heaven penalties:  zi-wu-mao, zi-wu-you, wu-you-mao  

* Earth penalties:  chen-xu-chou, chen-xu-wei, chou-xu-wei  

* Human penalties:  yin-si-shen, yin-si-hai, si-shen-hai 

Self-penalties:  

* Chen-chen:  DM is prone to spleen and stomach illness.  

* Wu-wu:  DM is amorous, prone to venereal diseases.  

* You-you:  DM is prone to respiratory illness.   

* Hai-hai:  DM is prone to skin problems

Zi-wu-mao-you:  injury due to fighting or being beaten up; water and fire disasters.

Bazi: 3-Penalties and Self-penalties

The top two most read articles of this blog over the years were written in March 2010.  Both articles involve 3-penalties--  "The 4P Secrets of Brother Shape Fashion Icon" and "Bazi: Tiger-snake-monkey and Dog-ox-ram 3-penalities".

http://kenlaifengshui.blogspot.com/2010/03/4p-secrets-of-brother-sharp-fashion.html
http://kenlaifengshui.blogspot.com/2010/03/bazi-tiger-snake-monkey-and-dog-ox-ram.html

To thank your support here, I write a little more on 3-penalties (3P) and add something new here-- self-penalties.

THREE PENALTIES
3-penalties are derived from the interactions between 3-unities (San-he) and 3-meetings (San-hui).   See the table below:

Formation:	Column 1	Column 2	Column 3
SAN-HE	SHEN	ZI	CHEN
and	penalizes	penalizes	penalizes
SAN-HUI	YIN	MAO	CHEN
SAN-HE	YIN	WU	XU
and	penalizes	penalizes	penalizes
SAN-HUI	SI	WU	WEI
SAN-HE	SI	YOU	CHOU
and	penalizes	penalizes	penalizes
SAN-HUI	SHEN	YOU	XU
SAN-HE	HAI	MAO	WEI
and	penalizes	penalizes	penalizes
SAN-HUI	HAI	ZI	CHOU

From column 1, we can derive:
a.  Shen-yin-si 3-penalties
b.  Hai-hai self-penalty

From column 2, we can derive:
a.  Zi-mao/ Mao-zi 3-penalties*
b.  You-you self-penalty
c.  Wu-wu self-penalty
* Some schools consider zi-wu-mao as a 3-penalties and not zi-mao

From column 3, we can derive:
a.  Chen-chen self-penalty
b.  Xu-chou-wei 3-penalties
 
STATIC vs. ACTIVE 3-PENALTIES
A "static 3P" is formed when a natal chart has all the 3 components of a 3P.  "Static" means little or no negative effect showing up yet.

A natal chart has only one or two components of a 3P and when luck periods bring in the remaining 3P component/s, the chart will have a "active 3P".  "Active" means the effect of 3P in action.

A static 3P becomes an "active 3P" when luck period/s bring in any one of the 3P components.  Effects of 3P (negative or positive depending on the chart) may occur to the person/ event represented by the palace/ star being clashed by the 3P luck element. 

Yin-si-shen: Penalty of Ingratitude 无恩之刑

People with yin-si-shen 3-penalties in their natal charts are likely rebellious, defiant and resistant to authority and discipline. The effects of this 3P are traffic accidents, surgeries, injuries, losing wealth, imprisonment and sickness. 

Xu-chou-wei: Penalty of Upper-hand Bullying 恃势之刑

This 3P is not as serious as yin-si-shen because it is all earth elements coming together.  Males with this penalty are mostly involved in imprisonment.  For females, xu-chou-wei 3P within natal chart means a tortuous life.  They are likely neurotic, superstitious, not too smart (due to too much earth), jinxing close relatives and prone to surgery and miscarriage. 

Zi-mao: Penalty of impertinence 无礼之刑

Zi is water and mao is wood.  Zi and mao are both "peach blossom" elements.  This 3P may involve disaster or losing wealth due to lust or improper relationship.  It may also be an over-protective parent spoiling her child ("too much water rotting/ floating wood") or a child demands too much from his parent ("too much wood dries up water").  Translating to reality, this means one's well-intended assistance may not be accepted by other party OR the other party takes one's help for granted and asks for more.  I also find people with this penalty in their chart are likely be blamed for whatever nice things they do for others instead of getting appreciation.

Negative effects of 3P can be mitigated if there are "Nobleman" (symbolic stars) like Tian-yi Nobleman within their charts.  My "Destiny and Luck Management with Bazi" courses also have methods to neutralize or reduce the effect of 3P.

 Self-penalties  (自刑) “zi xing”

This is based on the principle of same polarity repels. The following are self-penalties:

--Wu and wu

--Chen and chen

--You and you

          -- Hai and hai

People with self-penalty are stubborn, cannot let go and like to dwell on trivialities.  They are likely "shooting themselves on the foot" type and have depression tendency.

Will I get my millionaire mentor?

We see the words "millionaire" and "mentor" a lot lately. So I did a "google" search on "millionaire mentorship program". I'm amazed by the varieties of "flavors" out there. But most are associated with real estate investment and charge from US$1500- 15,000 for the program. I stumbled into this site which rates popular real estate "gurus" and their seminars/courses. http://www.johntreed.com/rateseminars.html

You may want to check out the article "The real estate B.S. artist detection checklist". If we change the words "real estate" into "Chinese Metaphysics," at least half of the list are just applicable.

I think the most interesting article on this site is the analysis on Robert T. Kiyosaki’ s book "Rich Dad, Poor Dad". Like everyone else, I want to know the real identity of Kiyosaki's "Rich Dad".

OK, how do we find out if we have mentor luck? In BaZi (4P), Tian-yi Nobleman represents mentor luck or helpful people. Here is the formula to find out:

If the heavenly stem of your day pillar is:

Jia, your day/month/hour pillar's earthly branches has/ have chou/ wei;

Chou/ wei is your Tian-yi.

Yi, zi/shen

Bing, hai/you

Ding, hai/you

Wu, chou/wei

Ji, zi/shen

Geng, chou/wei

Xin, wu/yin

Ren, mao/si

Gui, mao/si

Tian-yi Nobleman that is in the day pillar is more powerful in terms of predictive power.

However, women with more than 2 Tian-yi Nobleman could be prostitute OR very sociable.

People with Tian-yi Nobleman are sociable, have good mentor luck and likely become rich outside their hometown.

What if I got no Tian-yi Nobleman in my 4P? Does it mean I won't get my millionaire mentor?

Don't panic, you will get your chance. For example, if you were a Bing person, hai/ you are your Tian-yi Nobleman. When Hai (pig) or You (Rooster) year comes, you may have better mentor luck.
