BaZi Basics
There are two potent
forms of ancient Chinese Astrology to analyze Life 
- the Purple Star system (Zi Wei Dou Shu  )
and Eight Characters (BaZi  ).
Ba Zi (Eight Characters
) or Four Pillars
as it is popular known in the West, is a sophisticated art of Chinese fortune-telling
based largely on the Chinese five-element theory, allowing us to investigate
the potential and mysterious of our lives using our birth data. BaZi calculation
enable us to explore the cyclical influence of our 'destiny' in terms important
areas such as family, friends, relationships, wealth, fame, recognition, career,
studies, partnership, business and the almost every other important aspect of
our lives. BaZi can be used to evaluate relationships and to forecast the life
path of each individual.
BaZi translates
our birth data - Year  , Month
 , Day 
and Hour  of birth into four
pairs of distinct Chinese Characters (called Jia Zi  ).
Four pairs make Eight Characters (or BaZi). Each pair is also known as a pillar,
hence the term Four Pillars. The eight characters are made up of the yin and
yang variations of the Five Elements  .
By analyzing the structure, compatibility, clashes, combinations and inter-relations
of these eight characters, we can learn much about our nature and our life path.
An individual can make use of this information to accelerate his performance
in work, strengthen his or her relationships with others, improve weaknesses,
maximize talents and potentials, and make informed decisions based on forecasts
of his or her upcoming cycle of luck.
Understanding our
BaZi (our Eight Characters) helps us deal with uncertainties and allows us to
understand our strengths and weaknesses in life. Factors such as luck are often
indomitable and not within our grasp. BaZi analysis is designed to help us understand
the cycles of luck and possibly understand how it influences our lives.
