- Understanding and Applying BaZi and Traditional Feng Shui in a Modern World

by Master Wey, Ba Zi guide

In a fast-paced society, we felt it was necessary to develop a simple and effective tool to help people understand and correctly apply the ancient arts of BaZi and Traditional Feng Shui. Through BaZi Advisor, we offer a comprehensive and user-friendly tool, developed over a long period of study, aimed at helping people achieve harmony and well-being in their lives. We believe that by doing so, we contribute to creating a better world for ourselves and future generations.

The Importance of Understanding

No matter how abundant, information alone can be toxic if not accompanied by understanding and wisdom. This concept is reflected in various spiritual traditions, including the Christian Bible, where it is considered the original sin that led to man's fall from Heaven. Similarly, Kabbalah elaborates on this through the Sephirotic Tree or Tree of Life, which we will explore in a future article.

To ensure a thorough understanding, BaZi Advisor provides an application, blog articles, and practical guides. These resources are designed for both beginners and those with some knowledge who wish to refresh their memory. We aim to make these practices as accessible as possible, allowing users to see tangible results quickly.

Accessible and Affordable Tools

The application is structured on three levels: a basic free version and two subscription-based tiers at very affordable prices. While not everyone may opt for the paid versions, the free level offers all the necessary information and advice to start applying these techniques effectively. This initial success can encourage users to explore higher levels.

It's human nature to undervalue free things, but purchasing something often motivates us to use it more thoroughly, which can significantly aid personal development. However, it’s important to remember that these techniques, whether BaZi or Feng Shui, are not magic wands. They are supportive tools that guide and accompany you in your work and learning to achieve your goals more easily.

Addressing Common Questions

We have been observing questions in Feng Shui and BaZi specialized groups and trying to answer as many as possible. Since some questions are recurrent, we aim to address the most common ones through this article.

Feng Shui

Most confusion in Feng Shui arises from the many modern interpretations that incorporate concepts unrelated to the ancient masters' teachings. We stand by the effectiveness of traditional methods, enhanced by the latest technologies to create a user-friendly and comprehensive web application. Ultimately, people will decide what works best for them.

Understanding is often more important than applying stereotypical, "universally" valid solutions. For example, the Qi energy of a house is determined by its facing direction and year of construction, making a customized audit essential before any Feng Shui-related actions. Additionally, the timing of these actions is crucial for their success.

Traditional Feng Shui is often misunderstood, so it's essential to clarify what it is not. It isn't about creating a "wealth corner" or finding a magical spot to bring riches. The essence of Feng Shui doesn't lie in choosing specific pictures for your bedroom or placing statues near your front door. Contrary to popular belief, the number of your house does not play a critical role in Feng Shui practices. Similarly, true Feng Shui doesn't focus on amulets or wall colors.

When applying Feng Shui principles, it's crucial to set realistic goals. Focus on what you can achieve without stressing over what you cannot. The exterior of your home plays a significant role; try to mask any negative energy, known as Sha Qi, with elements like vegetation, water fountains, or pools. If these aren't possible, even putting up a curtain can help, as what you don’t see affects you less.

Analyzing the sectors of your house is also important. Choose favorable sectors for specific activities and apply remedies to counteract negative influences in other areas. For those familiar with the concept of Flying Stars, staying in the sector that aligns with your goals can be beneficial, as long as it's free from Sha Qi.

Additionally, identify which stars or directions associated with Noble Men need strengthening or stimulation. Use appropriate remedies and choose an auspicious date for these actions to maximize their positive effects. By following these principles, you can effectively apply Traditional Feng Shui to enhance harmony and well-being in your life.

BaZi

Many beginners in BaZi are overwhelmed by the abundance of information and the potential negative characteristics in their Destiny Chart. We aim to explain how to approach and understand this information to extract maximum benefit.

In Chinese metaphysics, which underpins BaZi and Feng Shui, a person's destiny and characteristics are influenced by three factors: Human, Earth, and Heaven (the Cosmic Trinity). The Human factor is determined by the energies present at birth, the Earth factor by interactions with the surrounding environment, and the Heaven factor by divine influence.

BaZi helps us understand the Human factor, which accounts for about 33% of our personality. The energies in our home and workplace influence another 33%, leaving over 33% influenced by factors beyond these methods.

Advanced spiritual practices can help some transcend their human condition, but these are not part of BaZi or Feng Shui. Our personality is a blend of positive and negative energies that interact with current energies. The Destiny Chart highlights potential influences or predispositions, which do not conflict with free will. Our life is the sum of our choices, influenced by these predispositions.

Knowing these predispositions helps us make better choices. With wisdom and deep analysis, we can more easily make the right choices, smoothing our journey and accelerating success. Even if we choose differently, hard work and determination can still lead to success, though the Destiny Chart can reveal easier paths.

The presence of certain stars in the Destiny Chart indicates predispositions, not destiny. Overcoming negative influences through willpower and good choices is an achievement. No one is predestined to be very smart or very foolish; rather, the Destiny Chart shows that some achieve results effortlessly while others must work harder.

In the "Tips & Tricks" section of the "Brief Profile Info" on the profile page, you can learn life lessons. Learning these lessons early eases future challenges and mitigates negative interactions.

Education also plays a crucial role. Even if predisposed to egocentrism, proper education and self-awareness can help overcome it. We hope our resources help you understand and interpret your Destiny Chart, assisting you on your chosen path.

Conclusion

Our intention is to provide information and practical guides to make the wisdom and knowledge of Chinese metaphysics accessible to as many people as possible. These practices, accumulated over millennia, were once exclusive to emperors and the noble class. Now, they are available to everyone, aiding in the pursuit of harmony and well-being.
