Like Tiger Woods’ chart, John Terry also has a Transformed Authority Star in his Zi Wei Dou Shu (”ZWDS”) Destiny Palace.  Mere coincidence or consistent pattern? 

The concept of the Authority Star is that you must be capable before you will given authority.  In ZWDS, we can surmise that the person is a capable person if he has the Transformed Authority Star.  His Transformed Authority Star is triggered by ??  Wu Qu.  In ZWDS, Wu Qu symbolizes a General and Leader.  Small wonder that John Terry was the Captain of the England Football Team until he was forced to give up tee Captain’s armband by the team manager.

In Bazi perspective, John Terry is a strong Daymaster, source of his strength coming mainly from Indirect Resource and Friend Element.  Indirect Resource represents unorthodox thoughts while Friend represents a stubbornness.  Can we say that John Terry’s misdemeanour is more a result of his own doing?  Notice that his girlfriend element, is represented by earth and rather weak in the chart.  This means usually he would not have that many chance to have flings.  But unfortunately in 2009, the year is Ji Chou a year of strong earth.  Hence his girlfriend element is strengthened.  Not forgetting that Ji element combines with his day element of Jia.  With this observation, I would think that John Terry would not repeat such flings in the coming years although he cannot claim to be a victim of being courted and seduced.

Looking at his series of Transformation Stars exchange between his Destiny Palace and Romance Palace, it would also suggest that while his lover only heap attention on him, he is the one that makes the move because it was a Transformed Authority Star that his Destiny Palace fires out.  When we see the Transformed Authority Star, it suggests the action comes from the owner of that particular Palace.  Hence, my view is that John Terry cannot use a mitigating plea that those women threw themselves at his feet.

What about his exploits in soccer?  I can see that his luck is coming down especially with this year being the last belonging to the current decade luck.  By next year, his decade luck will be poorer.  Maybe Chelsea should sell him by end of this season!  In fact this year looks like a difficult year for him as well.  The England Football team may have make the right choice not to name him as the Captain, otherwise their World Cup dreams will go up in smoke.

I am sure by now most of us would have been aware of the saga revolving around Tiger Woods.  What struck me is that there seems to be 2 ideologically opposite camps of people in their assessment of Woods’ sexual trysts with many women as a married man.  On the opposing camp, they view Woods as an outright marriage cheat who deserves no pity while the other camp feels that given his superstar and ultra rich status, which sees to many women throwing themselves at him, it is understandable that he had strayed.Out of curiosity, I just wanted to see if he deserves the pity from an astrology point of view.  Astrology does not seek to exonerate anyone of his wrong doing but more importantly to assess if he is a victim of circumstances or immoral perpetrator.  His birth date is listed as 30 December 1975 and hour is listed as 22:50 hrs.  To be sure that these information are really representative of him, I did a quick check of the publicly known events to happen to him so far and it does jive with the 30 Dec 1975, 22:50 hrs birth chart.

In Bazi perspective, Woods is a weak Daymaster with plentiful wealth elements and is duly strengthened and positioned to overcome wealth in the current luck pillar.  By the way, in Bazi, Wealth represents money as well as woman to male Daymaster.  It is small wonder that he amassed so much wealth and bedded so many women.  In Bazi, a weak Daymaster rides more on luck than on his own doing.

Now’s let switch over  to using Zi Wei Dou Shu (”ZWDS”) to assess Woods.  He has a Tian Liang Transformed Authority Star in his ZWDS Destiny Palace.  A Transformed Authority Star usually represents capability and it is small wonder that he did so well in golf.  But does that also mean his trysts are borned out of his capability?

It is interesting to note that this capability was bestowed on him by the general public, if we use ZWDS to assess the source of this capability.  In addition, his Romance Palace shoots stars into his “Self” and marriage related palaces.  This can be construed as the women throwing themselves at his feet.

For further detailed analysis of Tiger Woods’ Astrological charts, please visit my forum at http://fengshuiforward.com/forum/index.php/topic,1788.msg13972.html#msg13972 . At this juncture, I still have some pity for him.

Hindsight is 20-20.  It is child’s play to correlate on hindsight what happened to a person against the 25% incomplete Bazi.  An incomplete Bazi is like a Bazi without its boundary.  You can easily fit any event that took place into the boundary-less Bazi.

So what can one do if he does not know his hour of birth?  Simple – he can consult a Chinese Astrologer that specializes in Zi Wei Dou Shu (ZWDS).  For Bazi, people born under the same day are not vastly different.  Hence it is harder to use Bazi to pinpoint the correct hour of birth.  Whereas for ZWDS, every 2 hour yields a diametrically different chart which then makes it much more clear cut to determine which hour the person is born in by matching against his occurences or even against his looks.

As every 2 hour difference throws up a chart of a person with different personality and look, I have had tried many times to reverse-engineer it and guess the configuration of stars in one’s chart before I plot it out. 

For example, I just had a friend given me her birth date and hour to read her destiny.  Before I plotted out her chart, I proceeded to hazard a guess on the stars in her chart that gives rise to her appearance.  Bingo!  I have hit the bulls eye so many times that I have the confidence to nail down his/her hour of birth by simply looking at his appearance, personality and some events that happened in his life. 

This is definitely a much better alternative than three-quartered Bazi reading.

I just had a conversation yesterday with a friend who enlisted my help for Feng Shui few months back when they selected a new house and were going to do the house renovation as well.

Nothing extraordinary except that this friend had indicated to me that relationship with her spouse have transcended the state of lukewarm and that she wished for some help to spice things up with her spouse.  Noting her personal requests, I did incorporate this aspect into the Feng Shui set up for their new home.

During the conversation, she revealed that she was pregnant recently.  I was certainly happy for her as that probably meant that relationship with her husband had improved considerably after implementing my Feng Shui recommendations.  I sought her confirmation whether relationship with her husband has indeed improved and she confirmed it.

However, she proceeded to let me know that they had decided not to keep the baby.  Whilst it is the couple’s decision to make, nevertheless I feel sorry for the unborn being.  I have done Feng Shui tuning at the requests of the couple but the unfortunate outcome to the hapless unborn being was not what I had hoped for. 

This experience certainly tells me Feng Shui for relationship and marriage certainly requires more parameters to take into consideration.  In addition, should Feng Shui practitioners make Feng Shui recommendation solely in line with the client’s requests?

Ever wonder how you can improve your own finance? Many books will advise us to start developing some good spending habits in order to save more money and spend lesser. However, in order to understand how you can develop good spending habits, it is more important for you to your own earning and spending pattern.

A quick check using the stars definition in Zi Wei Dou Shu can help you understand more about your own spending habits. For those with Zi wei star in your wealth palace, you tend to be someone who is good at managing money yet wealth luck might not be that positive since this star leans more towards career building than wealth gaining.

Tian ji star on the other hand will be indicative of people who are willing to gain wealth through intellectual means. Most likely, these people will have advantage in term of stock trading and investing. However, these people will tend to spend over their own means and ought to be careful.

People with Sun in their wealth palace tend to be more lucky with money yet because of face value, they are also people who like to spend money to applease others or to ’show’ off their wealth.

Wu Qu star is one of the best star to have in one’s wealth palace as this star is the main wealth star. People with such star should generally be capable of managing one ’s finance well.

We shall continue with the discssion of other stars in relation to wealth in my next post.

Today I received a series of text messages on my mobile phone from my brother.  He was updating me an important appointment he had for the day.  Out of curiousity, I plotted the Qi Men Dun Jia chart to predict how the important event panned out for him. 

In fact a Qi Men Dun Jia chart can tell more than just the event I am divining.  It basically can tell everything about the environment of the diviner and the divinee.  I noticed something in this Qi Men Dun Jia Chart and spontaneously asked him if he is experiencing some form of stomach problem or upset.  His feedback was negative.  I did not pursue it further.  But some 20minutes later, he send me a text message again to ask how I managed to foresee his stomach problem because he just felt the discomfort in his stomach.

The power of Qi Men Dun Jia divination!

This also partly explains why Feng Shui consultation are priced higher than Astrology and Divination consultations because Feng Shui has been known to layman as the remedy tool of Chinese Metaphysics.  Most people thought of Astrology as character/human potential assessment tool and Divination as event outcome assessment tool.  A remedy tool is perceived to have a higher value than assessment tool.

Although such a commonly held perception is not wrong, it is a rather shallow understanding of how holistic these 3 tools are.  An individual’s destiny and outcome is dependent on the cosmic trinity of Heaven, Earth and Man Luck.  Heaven and Earth Luck affect us mostly subconsciously.  Feng Shui practices improve our luck without us feeling it directly because its effects evolve overtime and are blended in with the environment. 

Now, can we do anything consciously to also improve our luck?  The answer is a resounding yes!  Man Luck is a very critical part of destiny and outcome.  Lest we forget, Man, besides Heaven and Earth, are part of the environment.  Man Luck can be assessed with Astrology Tools but the icing on the cake can be made with Divination Tools.  Astrology seeks to tell the strengths and weaknesses, the potentials and the types of destiny path one is availed to take.  If we understand this aspect, we can condition ourselves to move in a certain direction to better our outcomes.

Even if we are running through good luck, choices need to be made everyday.  These choices also change our destiny and outcome.  For example, during a spate of good luck cycle, one may have 3 job offers on hand.  While all 3 offers may be positive, definitely the benefit each job may bring to that person will differ meaningfully.  Divination tool would have been the most appropriate tool to help us make choices in such situations.

Feng Shui cures are passive.  Astrology and Divination cures are active and dynamic.  I would not want to argue which one is better but the best way to improve one’s outcome is through his own actions.  Unfortunately, a lot of people want to improve their luck without changing their own behavior or using their brain to make better choices.  When we advise readers to avoid certain things or seek advice when opportunities come up, they often forget and make the choice based on their emotion or instincts.  When things turn out negative, they blamed their advisors, they blamed the Feng Shui, they blame their destiny or their luck.  In short, blame anyone and anything but themselves!

In actual fact, when things went wrong for someone, it usually is most directly a result of his own doing.  The best way to improve luck is to find the cure within ourselves!

I am not too sure how this culture came about but it is widely believed by those Chinese that ghosts are let out to roam the streets during this 7th month. That is why offerings are made to the ghosts to keep them occupied so that they are too busy to “disturb” humans.

As such, the 7th month is widely believed by Chinese to be inauspicious month so much so that any happy events like marriage and moving in to a new abode are seldom planned for the 7th month.

In the Fengshui arena, date selection requests for marriage and moving in to new abode are common. Now, are the 7th month also taboo in Fengshui date selection perspective for such activities?

The answer is a NO. There are equal probabilities of good dates in the 7th month as with the rest of the months. In any case, ghosts that are let out in the 7th month are, according to a Taoist priest, are those that are let out from the hades during that particular month and will be summoned back after the month ends and logically not linger in your house.

So, a little bit of research and common sense helps in decision making!

As a user and researcher in Chinese Metaphysics, nothing excites me more than to get feedbacks from people that the reading I have done for them accurately describes the events that happened to them so far.  By the way, all recount of event predictions and even testimonials in this blog are genuine.  My pride would not have allow me to cook up stories.

Last week I met up with a friend to teach him some basics in Yijing.  When we came to the Yijing methodology of erecting the Hexagram through observations of movements, this friend ask me to demonstrate on the spot how I would erect the Hexagram for a question of “How long do I need to  sell my flat?”  Thinking it was just a what-if question which does not means he is selling his flat, I demonstrated to him how I would erect the Hexagram based on observation of his actions.

I showed him how I obtain the Hexagram - Wind Mountain “Slow” and explain to him one of the fastest conclusion we can get is that the outcome will be lengthy for which the name of the Hexagram being “Slow” lends suggestion to.  Before I can proceed, my friend was exclaiming in excitement that I am correct that he had taken long so far (more than 8 months) to sell his flat without any sale concluded.

It was then that I realized his question is not merely a theoretical example but a real situation he is in right now.  It was a pleasant surprise to have divine correctly the situation with just a cursory interpretation of the Hexagram.

Yijing is very simple to use and fast to employ!  It will be beneficial for people to arm themselves with this tool for better day-to-day decision making.
