Thank you for doing the Feng Shui Astrology 2012 Seminar in S'pore on 07 jan. I had attended past seminars by other practitioners but none as insightful and refreshing as yours! Late last december I got to know and started to read your Masterpieces and had completed the The Destiny Code and the Destiny Code Revealed. I am now into the book on The Ten Gods and could not help myself reading late into the night as it was all too captivating and enriching! Having read the 2 books (& into the 3rd), I can't help but still feeling lost in understanding my own bazi chart.

 I am thus hoping if you could spare some precious time out of your busy schedule on the questions I have below. 

 1. For a Yang Wu day master, is this a weak day master given it is in the winter? Or, is it a strong day master given that the earthly branch is yang fire which supports the day master? 

 2. Are Fire and Earth the favorable elements for this chart? 

 3. Earlier on, someone read my palm and advised that I will not have a job and career once I past 50 as I will no longer have the 'noble people' or supporters around to 'help' me. This seemed kind of true as I did lose my job and is still looking very hard for one after almost a year! Is my chart telling the same that my career stops after 50, and I can no longer get back into the finance industry that I have been in for the last 2 - 3 decades please? Or, is this no longer the industry for me but perhaps a change as a property agent (earth-related) or even as a bazi consultant is supported for my chart? Is this possible at this late age? 

 4. I am now in the Xin Metal luck pillar and note the clashes between Yin Fire vs the Yin Water in both the Year and Month branches of my chart. Are these clashes serious and life threathening for my parents and/or for myself? What do these clashes mean for me? 

 I shall be most grateful if I could received your guidance please. Thank you once again for all your Masterpieces books and seminars which help throw light on our profiles, strengths and weaknesses, and empowering us as we go on our life journey! Wishing you all the best in the lunar year of the Dragon!

Many thanks for attending my FSA event in Singapore and for reading my books. Here are the answers to your queries:

1. Yes because it is COLD in winter. the Earth is too cold. Hence it needs "Fire" to bring warmth and life back into the cold chart. 

2. Fire is favorable. Wood is the secondary because in winter, you need the wood to produce Fire. Earth is only moderately favorable. 

3. Your career did not stop at 50. It is not because of lack of noble people either. Your issue is you have not grown in terms of skills and value as fast as you should be. It is best to continue your journey in a different industry but this time, you MUST continuously educate yourself and continuous stride to be of greater value to others. Being EARTH element = earth is like land. Land needs to have 'Value'. If earth has NO value (meaning nothing to offer), no one will buy this piece of land. It's not merely as simply as choosing the right industry, you must learn the required SKILLS based on your favorable elements to truly activate your potential. 

4. A clash may not always be bad. Sometimes if the old does not leave, the new cannot enter. Relate the clash to the TEN GODS to find out WHICH ten god is being clashed and you will know how or WHAT is clashed. 

Hope this helps. Warm Regards,
