Chinese BaZi Special Structure

English BaZi Chart

Here’s  focus look of the English version of the abovementioned chart.


By synchronicity and localized adjustments, this would be his chart. Satisfying 3 criterion of follower structures, it is a genuine special chart.
What type of special chart is it?
It’s a complex follow the force structure ( 从势格局) with inclinations towards wealth as a dominant trait… Or is it?

Man Made BaZi?


renwaters

Posted on October 16, 2013

https://renwaters.com/page/3/ 4/35
10/14/2017 renwaters

Casually chatting away with Ms. J had us discussing about almost everything under the sun… and nothing felt too striking as we sipped wine this night,
until she asked:

“Can we engineer our child’s BaZi?”

I paused, and she continued:

“Can I make him a King, or a Queen?”

I got up from the couch and started explaining after a brief moment of contemplation.
BaZi is a series of characters used to determine energies making up the mind, body and soul at the time of birth. To be precise, we will also need to
consider the stage of conception. This would essentially mean ShiZi ( 十字).
No, I’m not talking about minute pillar (it’s a whole new topic to discuss), but the stage of conception which most readings ignore.
Counting back from a usual nine months of say, the Yin Month of Spring (寅), would give us a Si Month of Summer (巳). A preceding Si conception pillar
would actually influence the BaZi ahead of it, giving us a:

https://renwaters.com/page/3/ 5/35
10/14/2017 renwaters

If you also noticed, Si and Yin is an uneasy relationship where Yin robs Si of its pot. (let’s not get off topic).

Plotting all five pillars here, how many of these pillars do we actually have control over? And So I continued to explain in the following fashion..

Conception Pillar

Technically we can plan when to go through the actual fertilization, but don’t everything happen on a moment of passion? (Okay maybe Singaporeans
can plan things right up to the minute HAHAHA!)
Well, if we are mindful enough, we do have power over the conception month and year which may lead to a birthday next year.
The year pillar is technically the pillar we have most control over, since we have a typical 9 months buffer period on when we want our child to be
conceived. We only need to consider the period of conception.
If we want a child to be born within this very year (say 2013), then we need to ensure the period of fertilization occurs in the early quarter of the year.
If we do conceive any later than that, there is a good chance of birth into next year and beyond the following year’s january.
The month pillar would then determine one of the most critical aspects of the chart – the season and general climate.
Keeping this in mind, we have to pick a specific day and keep within the safe zone of time to ensure the child falls into the chosen day of birth to
inherit strength from the season and climate (say choosing a Jia Wood Day in the season of of Spring (Yin Wood Month of February).
This would then determine a large part of the child’s natal chart for a 75% reading accuracy already. It is however going to be insufficient should we
attempt to determine the structural type.
Say for example, to ensure inherited and bestowed strength for the chart, we need to choose a birth timing that reflects well, say:

https://renwaters.com/page/3/ 6/35
10/14/2017 renwaters

A Bing Yin Hour Pillar

Having a Bing Yin hour pillar (丙寅柱) will lend a considerable degree of strength. Adding up with the month pillar’s Yin Wood Earthly Branch, this chart
will be rendered a strong daymaster.
Of course, it will not be overwhelmingly strong, but it is actually a decently healthy and balanced structure with 2 Bing fire for the strong daymaster to
expound on his/her strengths to succeed in life.
Having the conception pillar as Ji Earth in the heavenly stem (supported by Si fire), would also mean a very knitted family bond with this child. He/She
is likely to have significant support from family whenever needed (assuming the presence of resource in the remaining aspects of the chart).

Hour Pillar

This is the hardest pillar to control. We may have planned for a healthy natal chart for a child, but can we guarantee that the child can be delivered in the
2 hour time frame?
What about the accuracy of the clock at that point in time? Is there affinity?
Even if we disregard the classical thinkers who emphasized so much on Solar Time for birth, we may choose a two to four hours time ahead of actual
birth for the child, but can the mother deliver the child out with the grace period granted?
There is only a certain amount of control we have over Man Made BaZi, and for anyone of us who choose to engineer our child’s BaZi, we will inherit
responsibility for his destiny (33.3% of it at least) on top of the teachings and nurturing as parents (another 33.3%).
This makes up an estimated 60% of our child’s destiny on our hands. Can you shoulder that?
So to answer her: Yes, you can give your child a royal BaZi, but it’s up to the heavens to grant him such a natal chart destiny or not, however elaborate
we plan.

BaZi Favorable Elements of the Events and Exhibition Industry


renwaters

Posted on October 5, 2013

V
isiting the setup of a major upcoming exhibition show has ignited my curiosity.
Observing the sea of people – workers and clients alike tempts to investigate and verify the correlation between respective industries and
their representative elements of the 5 Arts.
Let’s take a look at one of their natal structure:

https://renwaters.com/page/3/ 8/35
10/14/2017 renwaters

Bing Fire Daymaster

A Bing fire Lady born in the season of Autumn. With 3 main criterion of strength evaluation, it is a weak fire Daymaster.
Hence for a weak fire lady like her, what would be her favorable elements?
What are the elements associated with the events and exhibition industry?

https://renwaters.com/page/3/ 9/35
10/14/2017 renwaters

Notice anything significant about her chart?


I’ll let the appetizer loose first – Since wood and fire is the element of events and marketing, it certainly gives her strength to succeed and make a
decent income.
Is she however, able to hold onto her income (and generate wealth?)?
Not quite, by default. – Why so?
If you actually look into her chart dynamics, you would notice her wealth element protruding in the heavens, well supported by its overwhelming
resource of earth energies.
A sequential observation of her Bing fire (supported by Yi Wood in the Hour Pillar), breeds Wu Earth and finally to Xin Metal. It is actually a very, very
beautiful sight with a good flow of Qi.
Any strengthening of her resource and/or parallel would trigger very powerful flow of energies, leading to a great potential for significant success.
Shouldn’t it hence be  a good chart for wealth generation? Why am I saying otherwise?
Is it too weak a chart? Lack of parallels? Compromised Resource? What is it? (this is interesting point #1)
Casting BaZi aside, knowing her personally gives me an reinforced confirmation that she have the raw talent to succeed, but she will be incessantly
hindered by her very own personality.
In fact,consequences of her personality has prominently cost her her latest employment despite being outstanding. Still, I’m more than certain she’ll
succeed with other firms.
Anyway, I have missed out one more very important (and interesting) aspect #2 of her chart that I’ve yet to discuss, but is easily the most interesting
aspect if we peer deeper. I will probably roll it out another time, or if there is further interest in this BaZi structure.
Have a great Canine month of 2013!

Contradictions of a Follow the Son Structure (从儿格局 – 矛盾命运)


renwaters

Posted on August 11, 2013

https://renwaters.com/page/3/ 11/35
10/14/2017 renwaters

This is the one of the first extraordinary charts I came across a year ago, but just didn’t quite have the permission to discuss it openly (albeit with
confidentiality of the chart owner), until now.
You would already have noticed the absence of key elements like fire and wood so as to balance a chart. This is supposed to be one special chart which
needs no balancing, but a closer look would reveal otherwise.
Let’s study the dynamics of a requirements needed for a chart to be special.
As a Wu earth daymaster with complete absence of resource (fire) and parallel stars (Wu or Ji Earth), the quality of Wu earth is indisputably weak, and
its weakness has reached beyond the extremes, taking this chart out of the usual rules of the BaZi ball game.
if there’s any literal way of saying, one can say that this structure has entered atmospheric horizon of the black hole into the realm of no return, where
every rule is inverted. An extremely weak daymaster like this follows the rules as if it is a strong daymaster.
Classical Zi Ping observations would classify it as being extremely weak to the point where it loses its willpower, akin to a small battalion surrounded
by overwhelming might of the opponent’s military, where the only way to survive and prosper is to surrender unconditionally and join the opponents.
If you can’t fight the best, join the best.

https://renwaters.com/page/3/ 12/35
10/14/2017 renwaters

Ditching your failing country and submitting as a vassal would be the only way to ensure survivability. In her case, you can see that there are no allies
or reinforcements to augment and reinvigorate the daymaster.
This is a classic follow the son structure.
Chart owners as such, are extraordinary individuals who are more than likely to achieve and succeed in life, often in exemplary, unconventional and
pioneering manners. I shouldn’t diverge too much into special structures at this point in time, since the objective of this entry is to share the life story of
my friend, Miss W.
Miss W is a beautiful lady with sharp wits, but loses insight when it comes to men. Though pretty and elegant, she complained to friends around her
on how “average or below” she felt, and feels that she has been viewed as a ‘usable’ wallflower rather than being treated with proper respect.
That… stems from the extremely cold climate in her chart dynamics, which is also a focal point of this entry.
With a full set of 子 waters and pure metal energies thriving, there is no regulation of energy. Metal could hardly produce waters too due to an absence
of regulating star, Bing Fire (丙), otherwise known as her structure’s 调候星.
With stagnating energies frozen and unusable, it would be akin to a porcelain vase, so beautiful, but genuine man whom she seeks after, will never be
attracted to her chilly disposition.
A recent chat with her this year, and assuming a water snake year, it ain’t going to be any better, with at most superificial suitors stepping into her life,
apparently promising, but nothing close to being fruitful.
She told me loneliness is quickly crawling deep into her heart, and she yearn to break free of her complex inner voice which neverendingly casts
shadow and doubt in her every decision of life.
Well I told her, next year would be promising for her. Energies would flow (much better than before), and she will be able to express herself the way
she want, and would be able to meet her potential Mr. Right.
Let’s sit tight and see if it happens, particularly in the May to July period of 2014.
I however, also explained her poor affinity with offsprings, but mentioned that BaZi is only 33.3% of grand scheme of life.
33.3% of destiny lies in BaZi;
Another 33.3% dictated in Fengshui (Heaven and Earth in Unity);
The remaining 33% rest on the hands of the Man in Question (The channel between Heavens and Earth).
God bless her.

A Religious Convert’s Agony
renwaters

Posted on July 9, 2013

https://renwaters.com/page/3/ 14/35
10/14/2017 renwaters

This chart belongs to a lady friend I knew for close to two decades. Lets call her “Miss Q” for ease of convenience.
An easy glance of her chart would have us know of its strength as a Strong Daymaster, scoring on all criteria for strength. Such a chart renders her too
stubborn a personality. Already a Wu Earth Lady to begin with, there are multiple blocks of resource, especially supported by the fiery block of 丙午.
What I like to highlight and note here is her family’s strong dislike of her conversion from a Taoist Origin into her newfound religion, Islam.
Can you identify the period of her change of faith?
Till date, her father is in strong objection of her religious conversion and her relations towards her family soured ever since.
Ever since her first encounter with 癸 water year, her life has been a crossroad of choosing either her family, or of her partner(s).
Of course, if she chose her family, this article wouldn’t be any more interesting already.. Hahaha!
So anyway, she chose a Muslim boyfriend and converted shortly. Since then, she has been practicing the full customs of Islam and life has been happy
for her, IF she chooses to forget her kinship with her family.
The circumstance of her needing to choose between her family and her potential in-laws has got everything to do with a 午子 and 卯子 interactions,
where her whole block of family pillar is against 子 waters.
With another full block of 乙 卯 wood Qi in her hour pillar, I also came into understanding on certain aspects of her behavior – excessive public
affection. Mates who observed her behavior in the past witnessed erotic behavior in the classrooms and more. Things do get sexually awry during a triple
卯子 destruction, telling me that it’s a good thing for her afterall, to be converted into a strict but extensive faith to keep her disciplined.
I wish her all the best, and I know she certainly will with 3 full blocks of good luck pillars ahead of her.

What kind of industry would she be in?


renwaters

Posted on July 8, 2013

https://renwaters.com/page/3/ 16/35
10/14/2017 renwaters

This is the chart of a 24 years old lady whom I came across.


With 酉 metal and 亥 waters surrounded by powerful eating god stars, the strength of the chart is weakened significantly despite the month branch
keeping her strongly rooted.
Is she a strong day master? Or is she actually a weak one? This is an excellent chart for debating for enthusiasts (I’ll leave it for open debate, and will
only provide answers if needed).
However, the flow of qi is not exactly smooth if you notice double clashing of 卯酉 and 亥巳. A counter-action is also revealed in heavenly stems of 乙
towards 己, otherwise known as 食神制杀 (Eating God Controlling Seven Killings Star).
With a  Antagonistic Structure (反局) like that, it dawned on me that her parents are very unappreciative of her works and the career of choice she is
in. Indeed, she moved out of home and studies overseas for her pursuits, and the relationship between her family and her has since drifted to the point of
minimal existence.
What do you think she’s working as?
P.S. it’s just simply beautiful how BaZi could encompass the episodes of life for all of us. Don’t you think its amazing?

Solitary master and Affinity with the Spirit Realm


renwaters

Posted on July 3, 2013

https://renwaters.com/page/3/ 18/35
10/14/2017 renwaters

Call it affinity that I have the chance to peer deep into the the chart of this 36 years old individual.
I can remember him vividly asking me
“So… Tell me the analysis from your this Chinese astrology”
That’s quite prideful isn’t he?
Well, he actually have everything that it takes to have a big chest of pride. With the presence of three key factors in his structure, he have what I would
like to call as, Spiritual Structure.
Without hesitating much, I had a look into his luck pillars and almost immediately expressed concerns about his father, as his chart indicated a very
likely death of his father at his day of birth.
“Okay your Chinese astrology ain’t that nonsensical afterall.. And you have a substance or two to be able to tell that immediately..”
I was empathetic but quickly moved on to explain to him that he had very poor affinity with his dad, and he wouldn’t like him anyway, if that is any
form of consolation. He nodded and said his dad is the type of guy he would look down on. It’s actually apparent for a dislike of his father with the Gui
(癸) Officer star clashing head on with his Ding (丁) fire star in his year pillar. With a stronger year pillar shining in the midnight hours and a weak Gui
waters clashed (Zi waters root is a distance away), the officer star can stand no further onslaught.

https://renwaters.com/page/3/ 19/35
10/14/2017 renwaters

With his first luck pillar of 壬寅, what energies that are left would be weakened not only by 寅, but with the combination of 壬 with his 丁 into wood
and to be transformed by major luck pillars and its season of birth, wood would tip his already strong day master into further misequilibrium. With his
officer star severely weakened, with more siphon from wood. What energies left of Gui waters is gone..
Things are made worst with at the age of 5, where even his mother was met with tragedy with the battle of 酉卯. With further demise of her husband,
she became deranged.
Looking at his subsequent luck pillar of 辛丑, it became obvious that he quickly became good at what he did for a living, and at the early age of 14, he
became famous in his community already for being accepted into certain family of power.
Not forgetting what I mentioned of the solitary and spiritual attributes of his chart, having a Solitary star, when combined with the Void star in his
year pillars have rendered in difficult to interact with, wherever he goes, and with the Void star being prosperous in his chart, he is a pristine example of
what we call “命犯孤星” in mandarin (Offending the Solitary Death Star). Through the years that I know of him, he has often complained of how the world
is so alienating for him, and how lonely he felt, with friends coming and going, without anyone staying around for him. No parents to be there all these
years, no siblings and friends to ride the waves – That is gloomy and I really feel for him. Why did it turn out that way?
If you look into his chart, with a Bing fire being overly strong and yet clouded by Gui waters, he is always misunderstood, and when he gets the time to
shine, he tend to ‘over-bask’ in his glory, which I would not elaborate too much as you can imagine the rest.
Nevertheless,  his structure  has granted him extraordinary talents and capabilities to have yin-yang eyes and senses to see spiritual energies of the
netherworld. At an early age, he was adopted and trained to master holy arts of his religion, and is now known to be highly competent in his community
and circles.
Looking back in his life from late 20s to early 30s, he is already earning an income beyond the rat race, ranging around S$20,000-60,000 monthly. What
do you think has happened in the recent years of 2011 till the present?
Go with the flow,

Chinese Astrology: A Place in Astronomy and Astrology


renwaters

https://renwaters.com/page/3/ 20/35
10/14/2017 renwaters

Posted on June 28, 2013

<a href="http://ppicture above for an animated visualization.


Chinese Astrology, though subdivided into several fields of which BaZi was born from, has a documented lineage predating human recorded history, and
is older than what was first recorded even by the Mayans and Aztecs.
People might not be aware that the current western astrology that was born out of astronomical observations, share the exact skies that were
observed by ancient Chinese Astrologers and Astronomers. For example, what has been accepted as The Heavenly Guardian Angel ( 天乙贵人) is actually
known as the Draco constellation in the west.
Let’s see if glory and auspiciousness would surround the same constellation of stars as observed by both sides of the globe.
The Western Description:

Hercules & his Trophy of Victory

‘Draco, or ‘dragon’ is one of the constellations associated with labours of Heracles/Hercules. The dragon, coiled around the north pole, is shown with the head
of the constellation Hercules planted on its head, representing how Hercules defeated the dragon during the eleventh of his twelve labours.’
Now that sounds…… not too pleasant. Felt like Hercules cut off the head of his former fore, but it nevertheless suggests a trophy of victory and
achievement.

https://renwaters.com/page/3/ 21/35
10/14/2017 renwaters

The Emperor and His Counsel of Aides

The Eastern Description:


‘ 天乙, 又称为天一星在紫宫门右星,南天帝之神也,主战鬪,知人吉凶者也。’
‘The Heavenly Guardian Angel, also known as Heavenly One, is the right hand man of the Emperor, and resides in the Southern Celestial Palace. He
mediates war and struggles, he who knows the favor of outcomes.’
Hey that sounds pretty pleasant, like a grand counsel and strategist and… hold on.. Here’s another one from the classics, San Ming Tong Hui <三命通会>
:
‘天乙者, 是天上之神, 在紫微垣阖门外与太乙并列,事天皇大帝,下游三辰" “天乙其神最尊贵,所至之处,一切凶煞隐然而避" "天乙贵人,命中最吉之神,若
人遇之则荣,功名早达,官禄也易进。如皆乘旺气,终登大位,大小运行年至此,也主迁官进财,一切加临至此,皆为吉兆。’
‘The Heavenly one, is a deity of the high heavens. he is the first of ministers in the Right Wall of the Emperor’s Forbidden Enclosure to serve the Emperor
(the lucky BaZi daymaster) along with Tai Yi (a star within Draco, HD 119476/HR 5162 in the Astronomical Hipparcos Catalogue). He is the noblest of stars
that all evils would shun away from. If there is affinity with him, there would be early recognition of achievements for the lucky person, with a smoother path
ahead for advancement. He could be met within the BaZi chart itself, or during the journey of luck pillars for wealth. He is auspiciousness; He is bliss.’
‘ 凡贵人所临之处,大概喜生旺,无冲破,道理顺,不落空亡为佳。’
‘Where he resides (within our BaZi chart), he should be given a palace of prosperity. If there is no clash(es) towards his residence, and if the flow of qi is
smooth without falling into the death and void, the birth chart would be fortunate.’
That is really very pleasing to know, isn’t it?
To find out if you have the Heavenly Guardian star within your birth chart refer to the below:

https://renwaters.com/page/3/ 22/35
10/14/2017 renwaters

I Y
f you have the following stars in your Year and/or Day Pillar: ou must have at least one of the followings to be in affinity
with the Heavenly Guardian Star:

甲 丑未

乙 子申

丙 酉亥

丁 酉亥

戊 丑未

己 子申

庚 寅午

辛 寅午

壬 巳卯

癸 巳卯
I will share more of these guardian stars down the road.
Okay let’s take a look at what contemporary Astronomy suggests…
Modern-Day Scientific Description:
‘Draco is characterized as Messier Object 102 and harbours well known Cat’s Eye Nebula. Among names stars, Draco contains Thuban which was the
Northern pole star instead of Polaris every few thousand years, thanks to the Earth’s precession. Another named star, Eltanin, is the brightest star in Draco.’

https://renwaters.com/page/3/ 23/35
10/14/2017 renwaters

That’s still pretty amazing that the Draconian stars was the closet Northern star back in 2,787 B.C. It will drift back to take over the position of the
Northern star in 20,346 A.D after drifting even further from the position of North pole at 10,000 A.D.
Anyway, the take home aspect would be to re-assess our mindset of Chinese astrology as only a sign. It is a blueprint, a roadmap and a schematic for
each one of us that have ever lived (and live) throughout history. It is filled with stashes of secrets of our origin of life and also of the cosmological
universe we live in. The same stars we observe in Beijing are the same stars we would come across in New York each night we look up into the skies.
Chinese Astrology is used by farmers for millenniums and is also used in strategizing for war ((such as Qi Men Dun Jia ( 奇门盾甲)).
Keep an open mind and you will reap secrets and wisdom applicable to life.

The Five Element Theory


renwaters

Posted on June 27, 2013

https://renwaters.com/page/3/ 24/35
10/14/2017 renwaters

Chinese Metaphysics on the cycle of 5 elements has its roots dating back beyond 5,000 B.C. It was observed that the world is comprised of 5 macro-
elements, namely the Metal, Water, Wood, Fire and Earth.
Together, they form an interdependent and symbiotic relationship in the great balance of the world, with principles resonating from Traditional
Chinese medicine, astrology and beyond the Cosmos.

 Transition of Matter ( 相生关系)


An easy way to understand would be to picture Earth as a rocky planet harbouring all life. With more than 4-5 billion years of history, it has all the time
it needs to condense matter into highly intricate crystal lattices like diamonds and rare metals. This is already the motion of matter transforming from
one state to another.
Metal when subject to high heat, melts into liquid, akin to ice glaciers becoming water. Obviously a critical for support of all biological ecosystems,
Water is the platform of growth and support for life (wood).
Wood harbours the potent energy to raise fire, a necessary tool allowing for exponential evolution of the humankind across cultures. If we observe
within the mantle of earth, fire dominates the anywhere between the core to the crust in the form of supermolten magma, ever nourishing and ever
fertilizing to the lands of earth.

https://renwaters.com/page/3/ 26/35

The antagonist/protagonist relationship ( 相克关系)


Fire,if well controlled, could be use to smelt metal into useful crafts, but at the same time, it would be extinguished if sprayed with water. So goes the
woods – highly capable of innervating deep into the grounds, penetrating even the hardest of rocks, but need only a sharp blade to split it apart. Rocks
and mountains persist in sturdiness, and is unyielding to the currents of water, allowing water to flow only in the path of least resistance.

Rise and Fall ( 强旺衰退)


In short, there is no single supreme entity and all matter are derivatives of energy, never final and is constantly on transition from one state to another.
Tides rise and fall daily with gravitation oscillation. Diamonds and gold loses glory from its pristine colours over time. Rocks crumble into sand with
onslaught of wind. Wood rots and leaves falter when autumn arrives. Fire wears off upon the instance of nothingness to burn.
Every element transits from varying states of being Strong, Prosperous, Weak, Trapped to Dead.

The Sixty Jia Zi – Basics of BaZi Pillar arrangement


renwaters

Posted on June 25, 2013

Ancient Chinese Text of the 60 JiaZi Credits by: Renwaters Contemporary BaZi Artist

There are a total of 60 Jia Zi (甲子) when we combine any of the 10 Chinese textual characters (forming the upper word of the pillar) with any of the 12
Chinese textual characters at the bottom, with each character at the bottom representing a particular month of the four seasons.
Each Jia Zi by itself, is known as a pillar (柱), and these pillars are known as Jia Zi due to the arrangement of the first pillar being Wood in the heavens
(甲) and the return of all life to source (子) in the peak of winter, hence known as 甲子. This arrangement of Jia Zi being the first of pillars suggest that all
life given must be returned to the source, in order of new life to spring anew in the propagation of time.

https://renwaters.com/page/3/ 28/35
10/14/2017 renwaters

In the four pillars of destiny, having four pillars would equate to 8 textual characters revealed in the chart (excluding hidden roots), hence the name
BaZi. The four pillars are then derived from the 10,000 years Chinese calendar, Wan Nian Li (万年历), where we would then derive information for the
year pillar of birth (年柱), month pillar of birth (月柱), day pillar of birth (日柱), and finally the bi-hour pillar of birth (时柱) – forming the four pillars of
destiny.
(Take note that One Chinese hour is equivalent to 2 hours of time-span (e.g., 1pm to 3pm), hence better to be called as Bi-hour).

The Jia Zi arrangement of textual characters operates in a fashion similar to the binary code system long before binary codes are invented. If we peer
deeper, we would have realized that the JiaZi system  is something to be reckoned with as even  Gottfried Wilhelm von Leibniz, a 17th century German
Mathematician and Philosopher was so astonished by the wisdom and its derivation from the Yi-Jing ( 易经), which are compilations of scrolls and
knowledge predating recorded history (3,000 B.C. and even older than the Egyptian civilization).
Anyway, it is ideally imagined to be akin to the wheels of fortune in a spinning ‘roulette’ manner. A blueprint of destiny would accompany a specific
birthday and time for whoever that is born in the stipulated period.
Classical texts had the Jia Zi arranged as:

甲与子组成甲子,乙与丑组成乙丑,

丙与寅组成丙寅,丁与卯组成丁卯,

戊与辰组成戊辰,己与巳组成己巳,

庚与午组成庚午,辛与未组成辛未,

壬与申组成壬申,癸与酉组成癸酉。
(Jia wood and Zi waters forms the Jia Zi Pillar, Yi wood and Chou Earth forms Yi Chou Pillar, so on and so forth);
And:

寅为一月,卯为二月,辰为三月,

巳为四月,午为五月,未为六月,

申为七月,酉为八月,戌为九月,

亥为十月,子为十一月,丑为十二月。
(Yin represents the first of months, Mao represents the second month, Chen represents the third month, so on and so forth);
for the namings of Chinese seasons.
For readers who do not have a chinese text keyboard, you could copy and paste ( highlight the desired text, then hit ‘Ctrl + C’ to copy and ‘Ctrl + V’ to
paste) your relevant Chinese JiaZi for future reference:

甲子  甲戌  甲申  甲午  甲辰  甲寅

乙丑  乙亥  乙酉  乙未  乙巳  乙卯

丙寅  丙子  丙戌  丙申  丙午  丙辰

丁卯  丁丑  丁亥  丁酉  丁未  丁巳

戊辰  戊寅  戊子  戊戌  戊申  戊午

己巳  己卯  己丑  己亥  己酉  己未

庚午  庚辰  庚寅  庚子  庚戌  庚申

辛未  辛巳  辛卯  辛丑  辛亥  辛酉

壬申  壬午  壬辰  壬寅  壬子  壬戌

癸酉  癸未  癸巳  癸卯  癸丑  癸亥


Note: notice how the colours flow within the 60 Jia Zi? There is a semantic sequence involved.

There are standalone meanings of every JiaZi, but its more meaningful when strung together into four pillars (or maybe even five pillars, some would
say) when intradynamics of clashes, combinations and interdependency comes into life.
Welcome to the abstract arts of BaZi (八字命理). Good Luck.

Go with the flow,

H
ello hello,
This is a house-warming and an opening post for my cosmic playroom.

Tidings of Water Snake

Before I start, I must say “Wow!”


The magnitude of haze is astounding and the Pollution Standard Index has hit a record of 500+ and more. Levels of air pollution has never reached
such a record, and not that I am a typical countrymen talking about haze as if its an in-thing topic, but rather on its significance from the perspectives of
BaZi of the year.
As I have analyzed for a forecast back in January that once February 4th begins (Li Chun/立春), the year of the water snake, or better off addressed as
misty snake, would be afflicted with small scale wars, rise of the financial markets (as well as a sudden fall), and it could include all matters and events
associated with the advanced pictorial perspectives of bourgeoning mist, scaling out endlessly from the surface of riverstreams that flows beyond the
horizon.
This would denote a clouded space, shrouding all around us.
If we look at direction fengshui from perspectives of BaZi, we would have known that the fire source comes from the rocky mountains 戊, combining
into fire by human action of waters 癸 from a southwestern direction. With an underlying trigger supported by a seasonal summer combination of 巳午未,

the might of fire is rages.


Just as the seasons of wood ends with 2012 (壬辰), so shall wood feeds the growing fire of 巳. Looking deeper into the structure of the year (picture as
above) would have us knowing that the entire ‘growth of fire’ would be contained within the southeastern part of the world as Ji earth (己) holds back the
onslaught of these growing fiery energies.
With Chou earth (丑) supporting the presence of Gui waters (癸) this 16th of June, haze would be persistent till late till this year.
Personally, I was foreseeing some degree of cloudiness and obscuring of view, wondering if it is more related to the environment, or the financial
markets.
Of course, I got the answers with haze and with the STI (Straits Times Index) dropping almost below the 3,000 mark of support after a tedious year of
climbing.
Go with the flow,
