Year of the Horse prediction.

I always felt it is wrong to use the year Tai Sui to do yearly destiny prediction based on the year of birth.

This is the time of year when lots of books and web sites will be doing such analysis/predicitons. I have also being asked through my email to do a few of such predictions. In fact a few of my personal friends have also asked me to do the same.

Wrong to do analysis based on the year of birth.

I would stress again that it is wrong to do such analysis based on the year of birth of the person. It is not possible to be an accurate analysis. 

How is it possible that every one born in certain years have the same luck for the year? It is as simple as looking at your friends or old classmates who are born the same year? Every single one of them would have different luck for the year.

What can the Year Tai Sui be used then?

Without a proper 4 Pillars analysis, what can the Year Tai Sui be used then?

The 10 Year Luck Pillar.

The Year Tai Sui can be checked against the 10 Year Luck Pillar for external matters. What is external matters? It is matters which affects people surrounding you. For example: Superior, authorities, workplace, workers, colleagues, etc. Basically other people besides yourself which affects you.

Comparing two pillars – LP and AP.

Example 1.

 

 

 

 

 

 

In this case there is a Yin Wu Ban He in the Earthly Branch of the Luck Pillar and Yearly Pillar. The Ren in the HS is also supportive of the Jia in the Yearly Pillar.

This is a very auspicious sign for the year. But what is so auspicious about the year? External matters such as the work environment, the Boss getting new projects, submissions to authorities for approval, when making business deals with others, when presenting proposals to client or similar matters will be very smooth for that year. It is not necessary an auspicious year. Whether it is an auspicious year, the four Pillars must be analyzed.

Nayin Analysis.

4.        甲午  乙未  砂中金

•          Jia Wu, Yi Wei

•          Metal found in Sand

2.        壬寅  癸卯  金泊金

•          Ren Yin, Gui Mao

•          Gold Foil

Metal for Ren Yin - Gold Foil.

砂、海、白蜡无益，有火济之亦吉，无则终凶。

 ‘Metal in the sand’, ‘Metal in the sea’, ‘White Wax gold’ are not beneficial, can be considered as auspicious only if fire is available, without fire is inauspicious.

Even though the metal Nayin is not usable it is not harmful. But with fire Nayin in the natal chart, it can be very usable.

Example 2.

 

 

 

 

 

 

In this case there is a clash between the Zi Wu in the Earthly Branch between the Luck Pillar and the Yearly Pillar. In contrast to example 1, everything external will be difficult. Even if Jia Wu Yearly Pillar is an auspicious Pillar for the overall chart.

The problem is worst with the clash between the Geng and Jia.

This will be a difficult Year for the Day Master.

Ten God analysis.

There is a In-Direct Resource eating the Eating God in this case which is very inauspicious based on Ten Gods relationship.

Nayin Analysis.

4.        甲午  乙未  砂中金

•          Jia Wu, Yi Wei

•          Metal found in Sand

1.        庚子  辛丑  壁上土

•          Geng Zi, Xin Chou

•          Earth on the Wall

Metal for Geng Zi - Earth on the Wall.

金唯爱箔金，命里先有木神则贵，以其成宫室而金碧辉煌，非朝廷不敢用也。剑金伤害，余金无用。

Among metal only like to see Metal Foil (Ren Yin, Gui Mao), if there is wood in natal chart then it will be noble, it is like a palace room full of gold and splendor, only suitable for the use of the imperial court. Sword Edge Metal will cause harm and injury, while other metal cannot be used.

Even though the metal Nayin is not usable it is not harmful. But with wood Nayin in the natal chart, it can be very usable.

Luckily for this chart, the Nayin is not in a clash configuration which will make matters worse.

Example 3.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Even though this looks similar to Example 2, it is worse off than Example 2 due to the direction of the clash. With the Metal clashing into the Wood and the Water clashing into the Fire.

The meaning of LP and AP.

The LP can be viewed as the Emperor of the chart for the ten years and the AP can be viewed as the Prime Minister in-charge of the Year.

Clash.

Wu - Zi

If there is a clash, the relationship between the two is very bad and nothing can be achieved for the year. Example to pass a Bill in government where the Minister in-charge did not have the support of the Emperor and is not able to get things moving.

Combination.

Wu – Wei

Wu – Yin – Xu

Wu – Si - Wei

If there is a combination, the country is at peace and everything gets approved easily. The type of combination can be further analyzed. Liu He (Six Combination) in my opinion is the best combination for such a scenario. It is like the Emperor and the Minister in-charge are actually lovers. It is the easiest way to get things approved. For Ban He, it is good but maybe the approval is not as fast or as straight forward.

Punishment.

Wu - Wu

Punishment is a very tricky matter. Even Master Shen in ZPZQ has very little to say about this matter. It is very important to know how to analyze punishment using Qi phase and Gui Ren for it to be meaningful. Nayin relationship is also very important to analyze punishment.

Harm.

Wu - Chou

Harm represents a relationship which is very painful. It is a situation where it is not possible to extricate oneself even if there is a lot of problems. It is like a situation where we are in the same football team but we hate each other’s gut.

Very annoying. It is sometimes worse than clash. Wu Chou harm relationship is a one of the worst.

Example 4.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Even though there is a Wu and Chou Harm relationship, the Wu Xu Ban He would remove/reduce the Harm effect.

Destruction-Damages

Wu - Mao

This represent a disruption in inter-human behavior/relationship. It is not that serious but I would still treat it as not such a smooth year for external matters.

The Rest.

Chen, Si, Shen, You and Hai can be analyzed using basic 5 elements.

Hai being Yin Water would still be clashing the Wu fire.

Chen represents wet earth which can dampen the Wu Fire so it would depend if the Fire is favorable which needs support or is unfavorable which needs to be dampen. But it is important to note that Shen Zi Chen Water is the nemesis of Wu Fire. So it is very important to check the chart for Zi or Shen.

Shen and You are both metal which can also diminish the Fire. But if Fire is useful for the Metal, it can be a good thing. Similarly to Chen, Shen can activate Shen Zi Chen San He Water to counter the Wu fire. Need to verify with the natal chart.

My Personal Experience this year – Gui Si.

My Chart.

 

 

 

 

 

It has been a traumatic year for me. There are lots of Ups and Downs. It is still not over. The biggest issues I have this year is the clashes in the external matters.

There is a Si Hai clash between the LP and the AP but there is a Si Shen Liu He which I thought (has been) is a very auspicious combination for me.

I had lots of problems with my project early this year. Problem with my (joint-venture) partner, problem with the authority in-charge of the project, problems with the people running the project and also problems with the consultants of the project. Lots and lots of problem for external matters.

But the good thing is the Si Shen Liu He brought me a new partner which is a very good thing.

Nayin analysis.

6.        庚戌  辛亥  釵釧金

•          Geng Xu, Xin Hai

•          Ornament Gold

3.        壬辰  癸巳  長流水

•          Ren Chen, Gui Si

•          Water of a Big River

The Nayin Ornament Gold and Water of a Big River is actually a good combination. Luckily for me the Nayin is supportive.

What would be the analysis for next year – Jia Wu.

 

 

 

 

 

  

Hai and Wu is still a Water and Fire clash.

So after reading the post, what do you think is my luck next year regarding external matters?

So what is your luck next year for the year of the Horse?
