Table 5.1 Areas covered by the pillars

Not only can the elements in each pillar tell us about ourselves, they display our parents, our siblings, our career and our children as well.

Here’s an example. What can we interpret from Chart 5.2 in the area of relationship?

Chart 5.2

about you around you

character

house and 48 years old your spouse your marriage

So let’s try to apply the concepts to the above example. Chart 5.2 belongs to a male, 壬 Day Master. Lets’ call him Mr B. We had previously covered on the attributes and characteristics of each of the 10 Heavenly Stems. Thus, being a 壬 Day Master, he exhibits the characteristics of a forward looking and courageous personality. Mr B’s Noble Elements are 丙 and 辛. In the chart, these two elements appear beside the Day Master. As each element represents a relationship to the Day Master, these relationships are also close to him. The fact that they are his Noble Elements, these people are helpful and supportive of him!

• The month pillar represents Mr B’s siblings and parents. Since these two elements are Noble Elements of 壬, Mr B’s siblings and parents are supportive, and often helping out Mr B in various aspects of his life.

• The hour pillar represents Mr B’s children pillar. It also represents his career pillar. In this case, since 辛 is 壬’s Noble Elements, we can conclude that he’ll have fi lial children and good career prospects in life!

Please remember that this is only a basic way to read a Bazi chart. As you get on to our next book, we will introduce more advanced techniques to reading a chart.

What do the other elements in your chart tell about you?

First, pay attention to your Day Master Stem. With reference to your Day Master Stem, we can conclude your primary behavior, and your external perceptions in society. Remember, the Heavenly Stem is about what and how others see you, or about you.

Table 5.3 The 10 nature of the characteristic outcome when you see them

The above red box contains the 10 phases of nature. It also represents an outcome or behaviour with reference to the Day Master. When it appears, you will encounter the outcome or exhibit the behavior that it represents.

For example, 2009’s pillar is is 己丑 (Ji Chou), with 己 as the Heavenly Stem. For a 甲 Day Master, 己 represents working income. This means that in this person will be earning more money through work this year. It also means that there is heavier workload in year 2009.

Table 5.4 shows a sample Bazi chart with his prevailing 10 years lucks.

Table 5.4

When he encounter a luck period, the element that appear will generate an outcome represented by this element. For example, for a 辛 Day master, 壬 represents expressive action. If it appears in his chart, his expressiveness is a dominant attitude in his career life.

Here’s another example.

Chart 5.5

In Chart 5.5, the circled 乙 represents you as the Day Master, the left 丙 (red box on top left hand) represents expressive action, which means you are a very expressive person, especially in your career life. And on the right, 乙 represents your friendly personality approach towards society, it also means you always strive to improve yourself! And the 戊 represents working income, means you like to work!

But elements that do not appear in your chart do not mean that you do not have them. They will appear in your luck cycle or certain years. However when they appear, they will play a minor role in your life, that is during the 10 years or the particular year that it appears. Because they do not appear in your chart, they do not disturb you often.

Once you understand each elemental infl uence, you can interpret what will happen in your life, and at what point in time it happens.
