Missing a transformation star or "10-god" in a Bazi chart

Bazi astrology reading is based on the interplay of the basic 5-elements and the 10 transformation stars or "10-gods" represented by these 5-elements.  It is not uncommon for a Bazi chart missing one or more of the five elements (water, wood, fire, earth and earth).  What are the implications of this missing element or transformation star?

In this article we focus on the missing transformation star first.  10-transformation stars represent a person's social aspects and family linkages like wealth luck, career, siblings, love relationship and the likes.  Missing a transformation star due to a missing element will affect the luck trend represented by that transformation star.

Below are the meanings of missing a certain transformation star in a chart:

1.  Missing  peer stars (bi-jian/ jie-cai):  Peer stars represent one's (daymaster or DM) siblings, friends, co-workers, peer group and sociability.  Missing peer star means DM has poor social skill, problem making friends, indecisive, lacking initiative and vision, following but not taking charge, over-cautious and not generous.

2.  Missing  output stars (shi-shen/ shang-guan):  Output stars represents DM's EQ, smart, talent, imagination, creativity and juniors/ subordinates.  Missing output star means DM lacking talent and opportunity to utilize his/her talent, is ineloquent and not good at generate money.  If DM is a female, may have problem raising kids or lack relationship with her children.

3.  Missing  wealth stars (pian-cai/ zheng-cai):  Wealth stars represents DM's wealth luck, wealth management power and opportunity.  It also represents DM's father.  Missing wealth star means DM lacking money management skills and wealth opportunities, and has little or no relationship/ karma with father.  If DM is a male, may have problem getting married or lacking relationship/ karma with wife.

4.  Missing  power stars (qi-sha/ zheng-guan): Power stars represents DM's social status, executive power, self-control, career and superiors.  Missing power star means DM lacks self-control, inconsiderate, prone to laziness, big swing of ups and downs skills and is difficult to get social approval and recognition.  If DM is a female, may have problem getting married or lacking relationship/ karma with husband.

5.  Missing  resource stars (pian-yin/ zheng-yin): Resource stars represents DM's education, career, family, parents, senior generation and helpful mentors.  Missing resource star means DM lacks relationship with mother, problem getting academic achievement and real estate, instability in career and feeling insecure.   

The above observations focus mainly on the missing star is favorable to the chart.  If the missing element is unfavorable and does not show up, DM may get the benefit of that missing element.  The degree of positivity or negativity due to a missing star also depends on chart composition and whether DM is strong or weak.

There are some remedies for missing transformation star or element that you may find in this course:

When to call in Feng Shui help 2022 edition

My article on "When to call in Feng Shui help" in 2009 is one of the most read and quoted in this blog.  Here I add more ideas again into this list.  Hopefully this may drum up some businesses for Feng Shui practitioners.  


WHEN TO CALL IN FENG SHUI CONSULTANT:

  1. -- before you buy a new property or office
  2. -- before you do remodeling of an existing property
  3. -- before you add an extension or new level into your existing building
  4. -- before you move into a new rental property
  5. -- many unexpected and unpleasant events like burglary, fire, water-leaks, sickness and familial disharmony happened after moving into a new property
  6. -- family members suddenly have unusually high incidence of accidents, losing jobs, lawsuit, health and money problems
  7. -- serious health problems like cancer
  8. -- health problems that cannot be explained or detected by modern medicine
  9. -- multiple deaths in the family
  10. -- children's academic performance suddenly drops like a rock
  11. -- children become rebellious and secretive
  12. -- family members do not like staying home or returning late
  13. -- more arguments among family members
  14. -- martial relationship suddenly turns toxic and affairs
  15. -- problem in conceiving baby for female; sexual dysfunction for male
  16. -- problem getting married for singles in the family
  17. -- frequent nightmares

  29. -- unexpected unfavorable career changes or lawsuits
  30. -- stable job or career suddenly unpredictable and insecure
  31. -- you feel your work performance is not fairly compensated nor recognized by your boss
  32. -- (For business owners):  Both the management and employees work hard but the books are still in red or difficult to run.
  33.  (For business owners):  When major supervisors/ managers change work or office locations, a Feng Shui audit is needed.
  34. -- (For business owners):  Lots of bickering among employees and irrational turnover.

Finally, be very careful when you choose a Feng Shui practitioner.  If a person is in bad luck period, his/ her probability of running into a lousy Feng Shui practitioner is very high.  You may want to see a Bazi reader to check if your current situation is attributed to your destiny (birth chart) before getting Feng Shui help.

No money for Feng Shui?  No problem-- here is the minimalist Feng Shui for this year.

Extreme real estate marketing-- no more!

Last October I had written about a Hong Kong real estate developer who markets a 40 storeys buildings as an 88-storeys one by skipping certain "inauspicious floor numbers" (the 4s and 13) and pumping up the auspicious ones (the 8s).  The following link can refresh your memory:

http://kenlaifengshui.blogspot.com/2009/10/extreme-real-estate-marketing-with.html

In order to protect the gullible billionaires and wealthy pandas from China (who tend to buy expensive real estates), the Hong Kong Government has just issued the following new law regarding the labeling of floor numbers:
1.  no jumping or skipping of floor numbers (except below)
2.  only floor number with 4, 13 and last digit is 4 can be skipped.

The law will be effective from September 1, 2010.  This means a builder can only legally skip 4th, 13th, 14th or any number ending with 4, but not skipping any number starting with 4.   Therefore, new building with missing 40th to 49th floors will not be seen again after 9/1/2010.  Builders are out of luck to arbitarily skipping bad numbers or adding hot-selling floor numbers.

The number 4 sounds like "death" in Chinese.  Some "smart" masters think they can consider 4 as the academic and romance star used in the Flying Star system.  This may block the negative vibes or phobia-- hopefully. 

Certain Feng Shui schools use floor number to calculate if a particular floor is "in luck" or matching the magnetic profile of the residents.  An "artificial" floor number probably will not cut it and requires the actual floor number to do the calculation.

Extreme real estate marketing with numerology


At US$9100 per sq. ft., Hong Kong's Tian-hui Skyscraper (天匯) is the most expensive real estate in the world.

The building is 40 storeys high-- but it has an 88th floor at the highest level! What is going on?

In western societies, the number 13 is considered inauspicious, so some builders have deliberately "skipped" the 13th floor for their buildings. Donald Trump's Trump Tower has done that. For the Chinese, the number 4 sounds like "death", so some buidings will have no 4th, 14th, 40th and 44th floors.

If you go to any China-town, you will see many cars with license plates like "888", "168", "118" and the likes. Properties with "8" number can also be sold at higher prices. Chinese like the number 8 because it sounds like "prosperity" or "getting rich".

Tian-hui Skyscaper is 40 storeys high with 34 residential floors. The followings are the floor number assignments:
*1- 6th floor (commercial/parking)
*8 - 12th floor (5 floors): no 13 and 14th
*15- 23rd floor (9 floors): no 24th
*25- 33rd floor (9 floors): no 34th
*35- 39th floor (9 floors): no 40- 59th
*60- 61 floor (2 floor): no 62nd
*63rd floor (no 64-65th)
*66th floor (no 67th)
*68th floor (no 69-87, jumps to 88th)
*88th floor

This is the most blatant and haphazard floor numbering to attract buyers in history.

Some local consumer groups complain that the real estate developer misleads the public on the numbering of the floors for financial gains. Local politicans criticize the Hong Kong government of failing to regulate the industry. The "4th Uncle", nickname of the developer, said, "Buyers are delighted with the floor numbers!"

Whoever can afford US$9100 per sq. ft. or US$56M for a 6200 sq. ft. unit in the building should not be too stupid.

Incidentially, the height of the building is 152 meters. "152" sounds like "not easy to maintain the #1 position" in the local Cantonese dialect. In terms of Feng Shui, 5-2 combination means disaster and major sickness or even death! Fortunately the "1" mitigates the negative effects of 5-2 a little bit.
