Bazi Deciphered in the Form of a Time Code
Your Bazi is
your complete date of birth data converted into the traditional Chinese
calendar- the Hsia or Ten Thousand Year Calendar- to derive a snapshot of your
complete astrological information. This intricate calendar factoring in both lunar and solar month influences is
the time-keeper of Chinese philosophy, if you want a very simple starting
point.
The Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches are used to code time.
What exactly
are they? To put it simply, the Stems represent the Yin or Yang expression of
the 5 Elements/phases. So the Yang and Yin forms of the Fire, Earth, Metal,
Water, and Earth Elements are represented by 5 x 2 = 10 stems.
Each year,
month, day and hour is constructed from a stem and a branch, says the renowned Feng Shui specialist. For instance,
2016 was the Year of the Yang Fire Monkey, with the Yang Fire serving as the
Stem and the Monkey being the Branch. The Yin Wood Goat/Sheep year was in 2015,
the Yang Wood Horse was in 2014. 2021 is the Yin Metal Ox or Xin Chou year and
so on.
Identifying Your Bazi
Your full
date of birth includes the year, month, day, and hour of your birth. Using the
Chinese coding system, we arrive at the "Four Pillars of (your)
Destiny," which are divided into four divisions. The Four Pillars are as
follows:
- The first pillar is your birth year.
- The second pillar is your birth month.
- The third pillar is the date of your birth.
- The fourth pillar is the date and time of your birth.
In Chinese,
Bazi denotes ‘eight characters’ rather
than ‘four pillars’. Since each Pillar,
like every time unit in the Chinese calendar, is made up of a Stem and a
Branch, we end up with 8 characters in a Bazi chart: 4 Stems on top of 4
Branches, says an experienced Feng Shui consultant. That is how this system is constructed. These 8 characters hold
all the information about an individual!
Both stems and branches move cyclically through years, months, days and hours lending their particular elemental characteristics to that particular moment in time. Going deeper, within a pillar are also found hidden elements which then add another layer.
Your Bazi is your cosmic DNA imprint
You will
have a Bazi chart once your complete date of birth has been incorporated into
the 4 Pillars.
Each Pillar
gives details about your character and aptitude for various occupations, your
relationships and earning capacity, how you feel about money, the kind of
people you are drawn to, your personality, physical appearance and potential,
certain aspects of your karma and life goals.
To put it another way, your Bazi is a treasure
trove of information about who you truly are. It is up to a trained and
knowledgeable Feng Shui and Bazi expertnear you to comprehend your Bazi and apply to your Fengshui. Your Bazi
chart provides a unique "code" to identify your natural tendencies
based on your date of birth, which is similar to your spiritual DNA.
Using Feng Shui and Bazi together
It is not
only possible to combine individual Bazi and Feng Shui but the only way to
blend them for powerfully customised applications of Fengshui in one’s living
environment. This is because while some Feng Shui systems are enduring
regardless of date of birth details,
other Fengshui tools can be employed to tap the individual’s personal Bazi
energy quotient to maximise results in a living space. A good practitioner
employs both techniques for successful Fengshui improvements.
The Luo Pan in Feng Shui is linked to the Bazi Time Code
Both Bazi
and Fengshui use time-based techniques and a traditional Chinese Luo Pan or
compass includes several layers of formulas to match these.
The eight
primary directions are subdivided into the 24 mountains, which are divided into
24 sub-directions. Those mountains are made up of the same Stems and Branches
that the Hsia calendar uses to code time, plus four more symbols (the 2 Earth
Stems belong to the centre, rather than the Luo Pan ring). This timekeeping
lends itself to Fengshui formula techniques ranging from compass readings
of 45 degrees to 15 degrees to even a
minuscule 2 degrees.
We have a
comprehensive manifestation of the concept of the 3 Lucks (or 3 Factors) in
action by combining Bazi and Feng Shui: Heaven, Human, and Earth luck.
Bazi is a
combination of Heaven and Human Luck- being born on a given date owing to karma
and the influence of parents and immediate family. Of these, Feng Shui is primarily
concerned with Earth Luck, but it also considers the temporal aspects sent by
Heaven. The Stems and Branches are thus a practical code for the Chi, which is
TIME, a particular SPACE, and a PERSONALITY element all rolled into one! Their
own nature is a representation of the three Lucks: Heaven, Human, and Earth.
Conclusion
Try matching a comprehensive Bazi analysis with your Feng Shui remodel if you want to experience a different form of Feng Shui and learn where your life is going. According to the Feng Shui consultant in Kolkata, this combination has consistently produced faster, more powerful and longer-lasting results.
