Chinese Astrology - Read Your Ba Zi and Find Your Wealth Luck

When you look at some people you know, they seem to have uncanny ability to amass wealth without putting in much effort. Could it be that luck plays a part in their life? 

Well, one of the ways of finding the secret to their windfall or Midas touch when it comes to money is to peek into their birth chart. In Chinese Astrology, a person is born with Four Pillars of Destiny that govern human life and aspirations such as health, wealth, career, relationships, etc. The other name for this ancient art is Ba Zi or Eight Characters. By knowing the birth date of an individual, we can construct the Four Pillars or Eight Characters to chart his or her destiny and life path.

Within a Ba Zi birth chart, there are ten heavenly stems and twelve earthly branches that represents, Direct Wealth and Indirect Wealth, amongst other aspects of life. By looking at and analyzing the stems and branches within a Ba Zi birth chart, a Chinese Astrologer can decipher the wealth luck of a person if this is what matters to him or her. A person’s life path is also governed by luck pillars that come in cycles of 10 years each. 

From reading the Ba Zi birth chart, the Chinese Astrologer can pin point the elements of wealth whether it is in the stem or branches. If it is in the stem, it is exposed and usually denotes a wealth that people can see on a superficial level. If it is in the branch, the wealth is considered as hidden and the person may not be so willing to show off his or her richness. There is also a difference between Direct and Indirect Wealth. The former is typically earned through hard work and is more regular in nature such as employment, business endeavors, etc. Whereas the latter is usually made from taking risks and capitalizing on opportunities such as investments, speculations, share markets, properties, etc. 

However, the Indirect Wealth can also refer to unexpected wealth that comes from a windfall or inheritance from a long lost uncle or distant relative. To be endowed with such heavenly luck, your birth chart needs to have favorable wealth elements preferably Indirect Wealth and certain fortunate stars. One of the stars is Golden Carriage. It means the possibilities of a person to receive wealth from spouse such as marrying a spouse from a noble or wealthy family. But there is a condition that must be met. The wealth star needs to be a favorable element. The other wealth stars to look out for are Heavenly Virtue and Monthly Virtue Stars. If you have these stars in your Ba Zi birth chart, you will be privileged enough to meet with benefactors and enjoy a relatively smooth sailing life with minimal hiccups or misfortune. If you do not have it in your Ba Zi birth chart, you can hope to see it in your luck pillars.

FENG SHUI – GROUND RULES IN PROPERTY SELECTION

When selecting a property or a land for investments or simply to build a home, it would be to your advantage to know some ground rules. In this respect, you should learn the Chinese art of geomancy or Feng Shui which is considered part of the field of physiognomy or the study of land through observation. In short, Feng Shui is a study of energy or qi in the environment.

The basic rules involve identifying the quality and nature of the area you are considering. If you observed that the location is very windy, it denotes that qi is easily dispersed by the strong wind. When qi cannot be contained by natural landform such as mountain or hills, the location cannot benefit from the vitality of its energy. If you find that the land is particularly rocky, it can mean that the area is governed by poor quality and unstable qi. Another negative feature to look out for is land that has muddy and waterlogged soil which indicates that qi is trapped. 

In Feng Shui, there is a saying – Mountain govern Man, Water govern Wealth

The next step to follow in the evaluation of a property or land is to observe the natural formation of mountain and water in the location. Feng Shui equates mountain to people luck and water to wealth. People luck by extension refers to health, relationship, character and wisdom. 

Mountain is the source of qi and water is just a medium to help collect and distribute qi. To get the best out of a location in Feng Shui, both mountain and water should be present. A person who is well verse in this art should be able to identify good mountain and water in the location.  It is Yin and Yang in harmony. If you find the area that you are considering has neither mountains nor water, you should look elsewhere. However, there are locations where the land may appear to be flat but you need a person who is an expert in Feng Shui to be able to identify the mountains and water in the vicinity. Otherwise, you should just look at other locations. 

In general, a mountain can belong to any one of the five elemental types i.e. Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal and Water. Each elemental type exerts different influences. For example, Earth Mountain aids wealth, stability and fertility. Wood Mountain aids fame, reputation and academic success. A mountain should generally be lush and green. It is a sign of vital qi. A rocky or barren mountain is also known as an aggressive or sick Dragon that emits unhealthy qi. 

It is also important to observe which direction the Dragon Veins (or in layman's terms, mountain ranges) is coming from based on Feng Shui time cycle. This is because qi is dynamic. It changes and shifts over time. For the current time cycle from 2004 – 2023, the Dragon Veins should ideally be incoming from the Northeast, West, Northwest or South. The mountain should also be located in the correct sector as measured from the property. 

As for water formation such as junctions of rivers, streams and their convergences, it should ideally be located in the Southwest, East, Southeast and North according to Feng Shui time cycle.

Lastly, you should ensure that the built structure of your property is designed preferably in accordance to Feng Shui principles to be able to receive and collect qi from the chosen location.
