Who will help you soar or self-actualize? 什么人旺你

Note:  This is the 701st article of this blog.

"Wang 旺" is a verb in Bazi that is difficult to translate into English.  It literally means "make prosperous" but has deeper meanings than simply material gains.  Abraham Maslow's "self-actualization" probably is a closer appropriation of "wang".

"Wang" in Bazi context means people who will help you to be successful and realizing your potential.  The people who "wang" you are also known as "noblemen 贵人" or helpful mentors.

How do you identify the people who "wang" you?   You may locate them from:

1.  the palace or pillar location of your natal chart:  The followings are representations of each pillar location:

  • Year pillar:  Parents/ older generations, superiors, teachers
  • Month pillar:  Siblings, peer group, coworkers
  • Day pillar:  Day-master (stem, self), spouse (branch)
  • Hour pillar:  Children, junior, younger generation, students, subordinates, employees

For example, if your teacher has given you critical assistance to achieve your life goals, then the representations in year pillar are the people who will help you soar.

2.  the 10 transformation stars ("10 gods") represented by the helpful persons:  

  • Peer stars (bi-jian/ jie-cai):  siblings, peers, friends, coworkers, business partners
  • Resource stars (zheng-yin/ pian-yin):  older generations/ relatives, grandparents, mother, teacher
  • Wealth stars (zheng-cai/ pian-cai)Zheng-cai is wife for male; pian-cai is mistress for male and father for both sexes; wealth stars also represent customers or clients.
  • Power stars (zheng-guan/ qi-sha):  Zheng-guan is:  superior, boss, authority figure, husband for female, daughter for male; qi-sha is:  son for male, second husband or lover for female
  • Output stars (shang-guan/ shi-shen):  Shang-guan is:  junior generation, student, employee, subordinates, grand-daughter/ grandmother for male; son for female; shi-shen is:  junior generation, subordinate, student, daughter for female.

For example, if your uncle is very helpful to you, this means people represented by "resource stars" are likely helping you to be successful.

Other methods to find out who are helpful to you include:

  1. The six-combinations of your Chinese zodiac animal sign:  for example, if your animal sign is horse, people with ram sign are more likely to be your friends and helpful people.
  2. The 3-unities-combinations of your Chinese zodiac animal sign:  for example, if your animal sign is monkey, people with rat or dragon sign are more likely to be your friends and helpful people.
  3. People and transformation star ("10-gods") represented by your favorable element ("useful god"):  for example, if you are a metal daymaster,  earth is your favorable element and earth is your resource star, then older relatives or people with strong earth are your helpful people.

Reality follows Mind vs. Mind follows Reality

In simple terms, "reality follows mind" (境隨心轉 jìng-suí-xīn-zhuǎn) implies one's perception, intention or thought controls one's own reality and affects how one acts and behaves.  "Mind follows reality" (心隨境轉 xīn-suí-jìng-zhuǎn) means one's perception is dictated or manipulated by one's own reality and becomes a slave of this reality.

This topic may sound "sleepy" to you.  But if you grasp the concepts behind, you will have one foot stepped inside "Club Enlightenment".

To make these concepts easier to understand, please watch a 98 seconds video below about a 11 years old boy who had failed his exams in China, the land of "tiger moms":



The boy and his father
The video may run too fast.  Let me recap the contents for you:
1.  This 11 years old boy got 7 points (out of 100) from a school exam.  A Chinese boy with this low and failing score is very likely scolded or beaten up by his parents.
Academic failure is a cardinal sin in the mind of traditional Chinese parents.
2.  Surprisingly, his father was very happy to see his boy get 7 points.  He had even bought a car-load of fireworks that costed him US$160 to celebrate the boy's exam result.
3.  It is because this boy had zero scores in his previous exams.
4.  After this incident, this boy has a change of attitude towards school works and become self-motivated to study.
5.  He got 57 points in an exam held a few days ago.

Originally I have planned to explain the dynamics behind.  But I don't want to sound like a preacher.  So I let you figure this out and make your own judgement.

Happy thinking (and weekend)!

P.S.  Consult "Diamond Sutra" if you want to know more about "reality follows mind".
