What is Yin Yang?

How many types of Qi are there?

There are two types of Qi. Yin and Yang Qi.
























In Feng Shui, how to differentiate between a Yin house and a Yang house?

Master Yang Gong’s proposal.

杨公养老看雌雄,天下诸书对不同。
Master Yang grows old observing Ci Xiong (female male). All the books in the world are all different.
Comment: The importance of Ci Xiong. The first principle of Feng Shui starts from the observation of Ci Xiong. The differentiation of Yin Yang.

Modern interpretation.

There are masters teaching people to use the 24 mountains to differentiate the Yin Yang of a house.

Traditional interpretation.

There are masters teaching people to differentiate the Yin Yang of a house based on the observation of Ci Xiong.
In San He Feng Shui, the LouPan are divided into Yin and Yang LouPan for Yin and Yang house.















It is therefore most critical to differentiate correctly the category of the house before applying the theory. Imagine using a Yang LouPan for a Yin house and vice versa.
Quote ”分定阴阳两路行,顺逆推排定.”
Divided into Yin Yang two roads to travel, the arrangement based on clock-wise and anti-clockwise.

San Yuan Da Gua.

Similarly San Yuan Da Gua 64 hexagrams are divided into Yin Yang with 32 Yin Hexs and 32 Yang Hexs. The Yin and Yang Hexs are used to match the Yin and Yang House, before matching families and period, etc. 
























How to differentiate Yin Yang for Bazi?

What is the application of Yin Yang in Bazi?
It is exactly the same as in Feng Shui. It is the fundamental for all the interaction between the HS and EB.
How the Yin interact with Yin, how the Yang interact with the Yang and how the Yin interact with the Yang.
This is again a critical point to read Bazi, even though it seems like such a simple point. But it is where a most important technique is hidden. Otherwise, again, it becomes a hit and miss. Sometimes correct, sometimes very far out.

Tian Yi Jing.

识得阴阳两路行,富贵达京城,

不识阴阳两路行,万丈火坑深。

Knowing the two roads of the Yin Yang, will be rich and noble all the way to Chang An city.
Not knowing the two roads of Yin Yang, will face ten thousand fire pits.
Comment: This is still the most important point, the Yin Yang. Only with the establishment of the correct Yin Yang can the theory be applied correctly.

Bazi secrets. (Part 2)

Yong Shen, the useful god.

用神

Bazi secrets. (Part 2)

Who do you believe?

What is actually the Yong Shen?
The question in every Bazi enthusiasts' mind.
Without having to turn around in circles. 















Master Shen’s method based on ZPZQ:

·        八字用神,
To locate the Yong Shen for Bazi.
·        专求月令,
Should focused on the Month Commander.
·        以日干配月令地支,
·        Determine from the DM matching the Month Earthly Branch.
Master Shen proposed a system to identify Yong Shen based on Chart Structure.
Comment: After testing this method for a few years, I don’t feel this is a solid method. There are many parts which does not tally. I was also told that to understand this method properly it is necessary to fully grasp the meaning of the Hetu but was not given the methodology.

The Modern Method:

·      Balancing the chart - 扶抑
The modern method of balancing the DM:
·       Support the DM when the DM is weak;
·       Diminish the DM when the DM is strong;
·       The opposite for Extreme Chart.
Comment: This is probably the worst and most unreliable. Anyone still using this method is only kidding themselves.

Method based on Nature.

Adjust the temperature - 调候
This is a very very important consideration in Bazi analysis.
It is like having a country with an Emperor and Prime Minister but the country is in draught. Even with a good Prime Minister it is still of no use. There is no food to feed the nation.
This is always the most important factor.
When this is the case, a new Prime Minister is required. Just for temperature correction. Even if it is not good for the Emperor.
Comment: This is still an important and valid consideration.

Method based on Shen Sha.

Shen Sha Yong Shen.
There are many people who says Shen Sha is rubbish.
Shen Sha Yong Shen is very important.
It is similar to the Temperature Yong Shen.
Even with a chart which is not establish there are many times when the DM is actually doing quite well just with the support of Good Shen Sha.
Similarly an established chart can be destabilized by an inauspicious Shen Sha.
Comment: In my opinion, this is still a very good method to have on top.

The Pure Five Elements method.

This is a method where the Yong Shen, Useful god can be easily located.
It is almost similar to how the “Blindman Method” can determine the Yong Shen so easily without having to refer to too many things or formula, without the involvement of 10 gods.
It is purely using 5 elements based on the Hetu.
It is clearly divided into Yong Shen for HS and Yong Shen for EB which are not the same.
It is how many charts can be clearly explained.

Bazi secrets. (Part 1)


Pure Five Elements. 正五行


 

 

 

 

 

Who do you believe?

Having studied Bazi with various masters over the years, using various methods, namely.
·       Conventional DM strength with elements balancing as the base.
·       Mangpai.
·       Master Shen method based on ZiPing ZhengQing.
·       Nayin method.
Was not able to read Bazi chart to any degree of accuracy.
Posted a lot of charts in Facebook to entice other Bazi practitioners to make comments.
There are a few good comments by a few but never consistently correct.
There are however lots of cases of what we called “Horse After Canon”.
Having nearly given up the study of Bazi for more than three times, was about to give it up again.
I was told that the Nayin method is the most accurate but there are no books or anyone willing to teach.
I also heard of a method called the “Pure Five Elements” 正五行 which is supposed to be out of circulation as well.
It is all about Yin Yang and the 5 elements.
Recently met a Master who showed me the method.
It is again first and foremost about the use of Yin Yang, similar to Feng Shui.
Yin Yang, the most talked about word and the least understood.
Everyone knows Yin Yang but how many knows the application.
It is indeed an eye opener.
I posted an article on “who to believe” when we have different methods as proposed by different schools.
There are some who says use everything.
I never agree with that after seeing how charts cannot be read using the proposed methods.

Examples of how different schools proposed the use of HS Combination.

The modern method.

The different HS combinations and transformation.
·       Jia + Ji to earth
·       Bing + Xin to water
·       Wu + Gui  to fire
·       Geng + Yi  to metal
·       Ren + Ding  to wood

The transformation is supposed to only happens under certain situation.
One of the conditions for transformation is support from the Month EB.
Example
….X….X….Bing….Xin
….X….X…..Hai…...X
The Bing Xin have transformed to water and is now considered as water.
The new chart.
….X….X….Gui….Gui
….X….X…..Hai…...X

If the Month controls the transformation element, the transformation will not be successful.
Example
….X….X….Bing….Xin
….X….X…..Wu…...X
The Bing Xin combination will not transform due to the Wu fire month.

Is this the correct way to read a chart?

ZPZQ method.

甲用丙食 与辛作合,
For Jia DM, Bing is the Eating God and is combined with Xin.
而非其食,
It is no longer considered as Eating God.
…..X…..Jia…..Bing…..Xin
Both Bing Eating God and Xin Direct Officer have lost their 10 God’s association.

又如甲逢庚为煞 ,与乙作合,
For Jia DM, Geng is the 7Killing and is combined with Yi.
而煞不攻身;
The 7K is no longer attacking the DM.
…..X…..Jia…..Geng…..Yi
With the Yi Geng combination, both of them have lost their 10 god’s association.

The “Pure Five Elements” 正五行method on HS combination.

The above two methods are all a big misconception and the reasons why we can never read Bazi charts using those methods.

Justin Bieber – Update 2015.

Justin Bieber won Best Male at 2014 MTV EMA- European Music Award. 

The link to the web page.
Another link to the list of winners for the 2014 EMA award.

I wrote in January 2014 that the fans will be back in 2014 because of the Fire Yue De Gui Ren when a lot of people are saying he is all finished.
























It is quite interesting for me because it also seems quite impossible for him to get back as there are so much hatred for the guy.

The first posting on Justin and Fire Yue De Gui Ren.
