BaZi is a system of ancient Chinese Astrology that is based on an individuals date and time of birth. The chart tells the story of a person’s life based on the five elements, and how the combine, clash and interact with each other in a destiny chart.
BaZi (Eight Characters) is a sophisticated astrological reading. In the West it is called, The Four Pillars of Destiny. A BaZi chart is analyzed by a practitioner and once decoded, can accurately predict a person’s fortune, personality, luck, health, romantic relations, and family relationship dynamics.
The top part of a BaZi chart consist of the Ten Heavenly Stems. The middle part of the chart are the 12 astrological animal signs. These animals are called the earthly branches of the chart. Below the branches are the hidden stems. Each vertical row in the chart is a stem and animal branch that form something called a Jia Zi or pillar. A BaZi practitioner can read the interactions of these five elements in the chart, decode it, so a client can understand his or her life path.
There is also Luck Pillar which come every 10 years. Also there are Annual pillars that come in during the year. Only a BaZi practitioner can decode the chart to help the client understand his life path. The BaZi chart are used by Feng Shui practitioners as a diagnostic tool to help the client understand his Heaven Luck.
