Searching
for the Gods
At
times, the chart stares back at us
and the eight characters just would
not budge. Welcome to the study of
Chinese astrology we called Bazi or
commonly known as the Four Pillars
in the western world.
Bazi is a scientific experimentation
of the Orient that translates the
readings of the constellations into
word form. Many are amazed with the
accuracy of predictions through the
readings of Bazi. The information
received should help us make better
decisions in life. For many, the ambition
to become rich through the abuse of
Bazi is illusory.
To begin with the elementary analysis
is to build a portfolio of the day
master. Hence, we need to understand
the basic element and its attributes.
Take a Bing fire day master for example.
It does not need continuing resources,
as it is independent and self-sufficient.
Have you seen the woods of the forest
‘produce’ the sun? Or
isn’t the sun that ‘produces’
the trees of the forest? Do we need
two suns? Another Bing would constitute
a rivalry. Not forgetting that the
time of birth would give us a clue
on its brilliance. Is the yang Bing
fire stronger than the yin Ding fire?
Contrary to popular belief that yang
is stronger than yin; it is not.
We then determine its strength before
we go on to determine the useful god,
favourable and unfavourable gods and
the expansion into the ten gods. The
liberal use of the word ‘god’
in this article refers to the literal
translation of the word ‘shen’
from the Chinese classical text. It
does not refer to our Heavenly Father
or any Deities for that matter
The strength of the day master acts
as the fulcrum while the useful god
harmonises the birth chart.
To determine the strength of the day
master, we recite the mantra: ‘In
season, in location, in formation’
Take an example, a wood day master
in the spring season is prosperous;
in summer trapped; in winter strong
and in autumn dead. When the day master
is prosperous, we control; when strong,
we weaken; when trapped, we release;
when dead, we resurrect. Generally,
the month branch alone is sufficient
to determine the strength unless there
are special circumstances. Take a
Wu earth for example. Earth elements
do not mixed as readily as water elements.
In fact they only stack on each other.
A boulder, whether weak or strong,
is still a boulder. So are we really
concern if it is supported or weakened?
Seasons in Bazi refer to the different
phases in the transformation of Qi.
It is likened to the different weather,
as in the changes of the seasons,
to give a pictorial impression of
the analysis. It is definitely not
about the physical changes in the
temperature; neither is it the materialistic
make-ups of the five elements.
We are often given the impression
that autumn represents metal and therefore
wood withers because it is chopped
by metal. That is the study of Bazi
in the infancy stage. Wood withers
in autumn should be likened to the
piercing wind that slices the wood
like a swift blade. Isn’t that
the feeling when you exposed yourself
to the winds in autumn? Likewise,
for metal producing water, we refer
to condensation amongst other things.
This is the science of Bazi.
From the above understandings, we
deduce the elements that aid our developments
as favourable gods and the elements
that hinder us as unfavourable gods.
There are also elements that have
neutral effect on the chart known
as neutral gods.
The ten gods are derived from the
day master. In Chinese texts, most
refer to them as the six gods. The
six gods refer to the five elements
as the five gods and the day master
as the main god. In reality, the application
of the gods in the reading is the
same.
There is a yin or yang polarity to
every one of the five elements. That
which is of the same element as the
day master, is known as a Friend while
that of a different polarity is known
as a Rob Wealth. That the day master
produces is known as an Eating God
while that of a different polarity
is known as the Hurting Officer. Those
that produce the day master are the
Direct and Indirect Resources. Those
that the day master counters are the
Direct and Indirect Wealth. Those
that counter the day master are the
Direct and Indirect Officers. The
Indirect Officer or commonly known
as the seventh killing, is the seventh
element in the order of the heavenly
stems and represented by a blade or
killing qi. . Literal translations
of words or sentences from the classics
help preserve the intricate nuances
of the Chinese language. The English
translations commonly used as in Authority,
Power, Intelligence and Output, fail
to grasp the essences of the words.
Take a yin female chart as an example.
The Direct Officer represents her
husband. If she has too many yang
productions representing her Hurting
Officer, she would have many problems
with her husband as it is ‘hurting
her officer’. If a guy has an
abundance of Direct Wealth in his
chart, it does not necessarily mean
that he will be filthy rich. It simply
means that he makes his income through
routine work and he manages his wealth
with a tight rein. It is as ‘direct’
and straightforward as that.
The useful god can be found among
the favourable gods. The difference
is that the useful god must be found
in the chart itself, including the
hidden stems, though not in the annual
or luck pillars. A good example is
the mid-winter Ren water day master.
We generally conclude that the favourable
gods are earth and fire; the unfavourable
gods are water and metal and the neutral
god is wood. Generally, earth and
fire elements in the annual and luck
pillars would bring good tidings.
Earth controls water but in mid-winter,
earth and water are both frozen and
need to be liberated by fire. Wet
wood in winter cannot start a fire.
Therefore, we need the almighty Sun
as Bing fire to bring life to spring
again. Bing fire becomes the useful
god.
When you do not have a Bing fire in
your birth chart, we compromise by
substituting Bing with Ding fire.
It would become a ‘second grade’
useful god. Are you doomed if the
fire is not present in the chart?
You can ‘lure’ Ding fire
from Geng metal and Jia wood. Then
you would not be happy if I tell you
that you have downgraded to another
level of poverty.
A winter chart of water and earth,
without the presence of fire, wood
and metal, well, stare back at them….
(Note: Don’t panic. This calls
for a different approach to the chart
that we classify as ‘structures’)
