What is Ba Zi? - Ba Zi is just a tool

Ancient Chinese metaphysics says that our lives are influenced to the same extent (~33%) by three factors: Heavenly, Earth, and Human, also regarded as Heaven Luck, Earth Luck, and Man Luck. They form the Cosmic trinity.

Heaven Luck represents the manifestation of Qi at the moment of birth. This type of luck is related to our karma and is beyond our control. With the help of Ba Zi - Four Pillars of Destiny - we can study our Path of Life.
Earth Luck is governed by the Qi energies of the environment. Location, directions, and exterior forms are influencing our lives. The ancient art of Feng Shui teaches us how to take control to reach harmony in life.
Man Luck is not only about cultivating the native talents through education, and accumulation of knowledge but, most importantly: hard work. Why? Because working is action, is "karma". Everything, including actions of any kind, can be regarded in terms of the five elements.

In Chinese Metaphysics it is considered that Ba Zi is the Diagnosis tool and Feng Shui offers the Remedy.

Ba Zi practitioners analyze the structural composition of the birth chart, considering factors such as the balance of Yin and Yang elements, the strength of the Five Elements, the harmony or clash between elements, and the presence of auspicious or inauspicious combinations. This analysis provides valuable insights into a person's character, life path, and potential outcomes, guiding them in making informed decisions, maximizing their strengths, and mitigating challenges.

Overall, Ba Zi offers a holistic framework for understanding one's destiny and navigating life's journey with wisdom and foresight, empowering individuals to align their actions with the natural rhythms of the universe and fulfill their potential.

How accurate is Ba Zi in predicting personality traits and life events?

It is enough to enter a person's date of birth, if you know also the time the information will be even more accurate, to get a detailed personality profile including Wealth, Health, Career, Relationship, and Sexuality.

Getting started with the diagnosis

There is a probability of 1 in 12,960,000 that you will find a profile identical to yours, Ba Zi being thus the most detailed and personalized analysis method you will ever find. Do you know why?

The journey into the universe of Ba Zi starts with the computation of the Destiny Chart which is composed of Four Pillars, each one of them being computed from the Year, Month, Day, and Hour of birth based only on the Principle of Cyclicity. Destiny is not influenced by the positions of the planets but by the prevalent Qi at the time of birth (first breath of the creation) as a result of the movement and combination of the three existent types of Qi: Heavenly, Earthly, and Human.

There are four components in this date: the year, the month, the day, and the hour. The Qi associated with each component has an equal weight, contributing 25% at the prevalent Qi, and it has a cyclic evolution with a period of 60.

According to the legend the Cycle of 60 has been used since the 27th century BC to divine the nature of events. It is based on the previously described 12 animals and 10 polar elements cycles which combine themselves like a system of two connected gear wheels, one with 12 and the other with 10 teeth. Two teeth that are initially in contact, after 5 complete rotations of the first wheel and 6 complete rotations of the second wheel will reach again the initial position. This defines the period of 60 of this cycle.

Finaly, 60 x 60 x 60 x 60 = 12,960,000 possibilities.

The Hour of birth is very important for the Destiny Chart but NOT mandatory. If it is unknown, only the three main pillars: Day, Month and Year will be computed and we'll reveal only 75% of the information.

What is the meaning of the Four Pillars of Destiny?

Both the year of birth, as well as the month, day, and time of birth are equally important. The Qi energy of each of them will influence different aspects of the person's life.

The year brings information related to the person's relationship with the general geopolitical context and society. It provides a more general overview without going into details.
The month provides information related in particular to the person's career, ambitions, education, and relationships with those close to him. It is very important because 70% of our life is occupied by our job.
The day. The energies of the birthday best characterize the person's own self, both the visible and its deepest aspects. It brings information about the person's affinities and the couple's life.
The hour. The qi of the hour reveals the deepest aspirations of the person, his desires and passions as well as his behavior with his own children or subordinates.

How do you calculate a Ba Zi chart?

In the past, calculating a Ba Zi Destiny Chart was a lengthy and intricate process, requiring highly experienced practitioners. Today, things are much simpler. Numerous websites generate Destiny Charts, but only Ba Zi Advisor decodes the information comprehensibly, making it accessible even to novices. Yet, we also cater to experienced practitioners, providing supplemental insights useful for conducting audits.

In this article, we'll use as an example the Destiny Chart of John Doe, who we presume was born on February 22, 1993, at 09:09

After analyzing the Destiny Chart, Ba Zi Advisor determines the Day Master, the person's profile, the Auxiliary Stars specific to each person, and the results of the interactions between the Five Stars and the Ten Gods.

What are the key components of a Ba Zi profile?

The results of these analyses will be presented in several panels, explained hereunder.

Important information: Online help is available for most panels by clicking the "i" button in the upper right corner

Brief Profile Info

The main characteristics of the personality and some deeper insights are organized into six sections: General Traits, Relationship, Relationship Quality, Professional Skills, Tips & Tricks, and Inner Self.

General Traits

The Brief Traits Report provides a summary description of the person and offers minimal advice for improvement. It outlines the person's traits in a few words and provides tips and advice for personal development.

Relationship

How does this person relate to those around him/her? What can the person do to improve the way interactions unfold today? Ba Zi Advisor presents an overview and tips for improving relationships.

Relationship Quality

The Quality of different types of relationships section displays the way the person interacts with various roles others may have in their lives, but from their own perspective and regardless of the specific person that is in that role (no matter if for Mary the lover is John, Jack, or Bob the way she relates with the concept of lover is the same). Analyzing the interactions between the elements in a person's Destiny Chart, and taking into account the meaning of these elements for him, we can say that some types of relationships are good or not, in the most general way.

Professional Skills

After giving a brief description of the professional characteristics of the person, and some tips for improvement in this area, Ba Zi Advisor proposes the most appropriate jobs and some tips and advice for professional development.

Tips & Tricks

This section offers deep insights:

life lesson - when you learn your lesson, then all the bad interactions that you will encounter during your life (clash, harm, destruction, punishment) will be moderate and much less painful.
hidden talents - the job represents approximately 70% of what we do in life, the career must be integrated into life, and we must have a job that we like (otherwise we will be bored or stressed). We must use the hidden abilities we have and develop them through two ways: education and experience. We must remember that developing these skills takes time.
meridian clock - in traditional Chinese medical theory there is a concept of a meridian clock indicating a flowing of energy from one meridian to the next on a regular schedule. Ba Zi provides a few advises about.

Inner Self

Information related to fulfilling your mission on Earth and some very particular traits. In the example we used above, for John Doe, it says:

John's day pillar is yang wood/dog and the manifestation of its Qi energy can be described as follows:

you could be sickly like a tree that grows and has already rotten roots

you have an aggressive mind

sometimes unstable and ruthless

often opportunists

your partner generally dies before (long before)

In addition to the above, the following particular things are valid only for you:

you are attracted to death, decay, old furniture, and macabre things and you are rather slow

Destiny Chart

This is the Destiny Chart, calculated but not decoded—very useful for both beginners and advanced practitioners. As you deepen your knowledge of Ba Zi, presented in the form of articles on our blog, you will gain a good understanding of the extremely complex information included in it. For assistance, a general description and some meanings are provided as online help. Additionally, clicking on any of the highlighted elements will open a window containing a description of them.

Extended DC

The Conception Pillar is created before birth and contains all the energy and knowledge that the person receives from the universe at the moment of conception, the spiritual part (when the body is not created and the heart does not beat for the first time).

This pillar contains the key to the spiritual virtues of the person. To succeed in this life - it represents the lesson of the person in this life.

When you learn your lesson, then all the bad interactions that will encounter during your life (clash, harm, destruction, punishment) will be moderate and much less painful.

Elements, Stars, Gods, and Auxiliary Stars

In this panel, the weights, and strengths of the five elements are presented, along with their favorability, the Five Stars specific to the person, and the corresponding Ten Gods. Additionally, the quality of the Ten Gods and the Auxiliary Stars are calculated according to the Destiny Chart particularities for each person.

Click on highlighted elements to get additional info, for example, the manner of computing for strength and favorability.

Famous Persons panel

We have selected from a list of famous people the ones having in common the following:

5 stars: the same Profile and Day Master
4 stars: the same Profile with the same Polar Element
3 stars: the same Profile
2 stars: the same Day Master with the same Strength

Special Report

Most Destiny Charts hide some special patterns or have some very distinctive features. Their analysis will reveal some possible traits related to an individual's personality. These potential traits, or only a part of them, can manifest themselves in certain periods and sometimes throughout life.

In advanced mode (for users with knowledge about Ba Zi), technical explanations are provided using abbreviations for the Stars, Gods, and Auxiliary Stars names.

For example

Luck Pillars

Intended for beginners and advanced practitioners, this panel provides a lot of additional information when clicking on the highlighted elements.

Attraction/rejection pillars

For each pillar of the Destiny Chart (Hour, Day, Month, Year) there is both a pillar with which it clashes and a pillar with which it forms a beneficial combination.

The Attraction Chart is made by the pillars that are in good combination with the ones from the Destiny Chart (hour-hour, day-day, month-month, year-year).

Similarly, the Rejection Chart is made by the pillars which clash with the ones in the Destiny chart.
