Application of birth chart analysis to manage your children

Many parents had shared with me the great challenges that they had in bringing up their millennials or post millennials (born 1990 onwards) children.  They have difficulties in managing their behavior and guiding them to the path which enable them to find purpose and propel them to the next level in their life.  Worst still, most of the millennials do not even what they want to achieve in life or realize what is their ambition and their parent are equally as lost.

Considering that the world is very much online than it was 30 years ago, the millennials had been exposed to various environmental influences from the social media and games which could have program their neurons in brain to be connected in different ways then the generation before.  With so much distraction from the environment, it could cloud the young minds and create a bigger generation gap compare to previous few generations.  Generations gap will cause miscommunication and with confuse mind, it become an obstacle for parent in the upbringing of the children. 

All is not lost as the influence of external environment cannot never overtake the imprint of the character through energy absorb from the time of birth.  This means parent will be able to understand their offspring character better if they can get help to decode all elemental energy through date and time of birth or known as bazi. 

There are 5 elements according to Chinese metaphysics wood, fire, earth, metal and water with ying and yang orientation, therefore there are 10 day stem.  The day stem will become our self-element depending which day stem we are born.  If a person born in yang wood day, then the self-element, day master is yang wood/jia (refer my previous article http://www.5elementsharmonylife.com/2018/05/the-time-and-direction-dimension-in.html).  However, a person mode of operation is largely governed not by the day master, but by dominant element/s in birth chart and how it interacts with self-element through cyclic relationship. 

5 elements relationship  produce/weaken/control cycle

Since there are 5 elements with its relationship to the self-element, generally there are 5 groups people.   The 5 groups are per table below:-

5 elements cyclic relationship	Strength	Weakness	How to nurture them	Suggested type of work
Resource type Dominant element which feed the self, receive support and nutrition to produce self	Can learn and gain knowledge, analyze data. Intellectual	Slow and lazy, as they have access to resource which create them	Find good teacher, teach them be more action oriented, follow up on them with proper schedule	Scientist, researcher, data analyst, actuaries, statistician
Buddy type Dominant element which same as self, become team to self	Team player, can network and connect with another person	Can influence by bad friends, disorganize, competitive, selfish	Team sports, be friend to them, encourage cooperation, learn by team activity, enhance communication	Sales and marketing, public relation, lobbyist
Constraint type Dominant element clash into self-element, self element being controlled	Follow direction, helpful, anti-conflict, nice person	Put a stop to own growth, become door mat	Give them clear direction and goal, clear cause and reasons, make them feel important, nurture their courage to go fore	Create system and procedure, systematic work
Output type Self-produce dominant element, need to create self	Creative, lots of idea, expressive	Moody like artist, unrealistic, loner	Give them space to explore their ideas, learn by experience, cultivate their presentation skills	Artist, performer, creative field
Possessive (wealth) type Self- element control the dominant element	Can make decision, take action, risk taker	Cunning, arrogant, bully, stingy	Encourage them to be leader, have a lot of goal to keep them busy, cultivate leadership skill and generosity	Manager, leader, business owner

Some people could have two to three dominant element and they become more complex esp. those with opposing dominant element such as output and constraint group.  Output element is those who are disorganize and very creative which is the opposite of constraint group who is systematic and follow rules.  An expert bazi consultant would be able to find the dominant element in the chart and reveal how the day master interact with dominant element. This  information to manage your children and guide to the path of maximum return for them in all aspects of their life such as career, wealth, relationship, etc.  This will enable you to understand them and their potential better through their elemental energy pattern in their birth chart.  It will also result in better communication and relationship when you start to speak their language which resonant with their life energy.

Different aspects of life dictate by different elements in birth chart

Each element and the 4 pillars manage a different aspects in life such as relationship, discipline/authority, wealth/career, friends, resources/input and output/creation in relation to the self element. 

 Different aspect of life govern by the 4 pillar birth chart 

Generally it is more desirable to have all 5 elements exist in good harmony balance in the chart and the  chart’s owner would  have a good healthy life and balance mental state.  However there are exception for special charts which normally found in famous or wealthy personality such as Nelson Mandela or Donald Trump  where there are only 3 to 4 elements present.

Below are a summary of the role of each element in relation to the self element.  There are many articles written by other masters in detail.   The 5 elements in ying and yang polarity in the chart is also known as 10 gods or 10 stars.  The ten gods will also dictate a person’s traits and attitude. 

Self element	Wealth	Output/ creation	Companion	Influence	Resource
Wood	Earth	Fire	Wood	Metal	Water
Fire	Metal	Earth	Fire	Water	Wood
Earth	Water	Metal	Earth	Wood	Fire
Metal	Wood	Water	Metal	Fire	Earth
Water	Fire	Wood	Water	Earth	Metal
Relation ship	Self control	Self produce out	same strengthen each other	Controlled self	Nurutured   self
Represent	Wife/ assets	children/subordinates/ aspiration/ work, creation, presentation	Friends/partnership, siblings, rival or competitor Will power, thoughts, self esteem	Husband, power and authority, charisma, nobility	Mother, thinking, knowledge, 6 th sense

Prominent energy in baizi chart

Earthly branch animal signs actually have hidden elements  per table below.  The month pillar is the most prominent energy which regulate the whole time chart as the position of the earth in relation to the planets govern the seasons.  It means if you are born in winter,  probably the fire is the chart which appear in other location of the chart will not be as strong or good quality as sun is weak in winter.  Take our example about on the baby boy,  he is born in summer, therefore the fire element will be strong compare to the water element.  This mean his aptitude would be towards fire  and he should choose a career related to fire such as technology, computer or entertainment industry.   Needless to say if a person had dominant earth element in his birth chart,  then it would be advantageous  if he undertake a career related to property industry.  The earlier you are aware of your ability, the better, as it will help to prepare for a future career.

Interaction of elements in the birth chart

Birth chart analysis is actually quite complex as there are interactions between the element in heavenly stem and animal signs in the earthly branch.  The interaction could be  perceived as good or bad to the self element  depending on the 5 element energy flow in the chart.

Location	Interaction	Potential impact
Heavenly stem	Combine	Could be positive or negative depend on chart situation, gain something
	Clash	Self could feel pain of clash,  however sometimes can be good if unwanted items is removed. Lost something
Earthly branch	3 harmony	Pleasant  if chart need the combo or could be nuisance as can be complex
	6 combo	Normally is good, gain something
	Clash	Could be positive or negative depend on chart situation,  loss something
	Harm	Sneaky emotional problem happen when least expected
	Punishment various type	Mostly negative  impact  feel self being punish or self could punish others
	Destruction	Force into unwanted situation

From the above table,  there are more interactions in the earthly branch than the heavenly stem.  Some masters had stated that an interaction in the earthly branch could have more impact to self.

There are more formations which potentially could have a negative impact to the chart’s owner,  therefore it is challenging to be born as a human. 

Awakening the elemental interaction in birth chart

The intention of  sharing the interactions in the birth chart should not scare anyone but rather it is for you to understand that there are relationships between elements  in the chart which could impact you.   Although some of the interactions could be present in the chart,  however it will need an external condition to activate the relationship such as a clash or combo.  When such condition are activated,  there could be some life changing event which will happen to you.  Therefore it is in the best interest for us to know  the timing of the possibility of  an event happening in our life which can be decoded from a person’s birth chart.   The ability to forecast an event will enable us to prepare for the event  such as it is predicted person A could have a work promotion in next 4 years,  therefore person A should prepare for this promotion by taking up management courses to secure the position.  Remember the world is very competitive nowadays and the person who is best prepared always to win the battle.

Main external condition interaction with our birth chart and lead to certain events which impact our life are :-

1. Own luck cycle  -  each of us has a unique 10 year luck cycle with have different energy pattern that interact with our birth chart.  If you observed your love ones or friends or neighbor you will realize at certain a person will change over time in term health, wealth, relationship or personality.  This could be due luck cycle effect
2. Yearly luck -  Our chart will also interact with yearly energy pattern such as in 2018 is earth dog year where the earth will impact our chart 

Revealing the secret in the birth chart

Bazi four pillar chart  contain the vital information about your destiny in almost all aspects of your life.  You can use it to understand yourself, your spouse and your children better.  It also contain potential future event which will happen at certain time depending on the external energy.  Therefore it is good we can unlock all secrets obtained in birth charts and use it to improve our lives.   It is vital to invest in a good chart reading at least once in a lifetime to understand your self element and how you interact with the elements in the birth chart.  You can also invest in expensive courses to DIY the reading of your chart.  The reading of the chart will give you a perspective of your life’s journey even though it will never be 100% accuracy.  I would think there are no master in the world can read a chart to 100% accuracy.  Almost all the 100% accuracy analysis done by great masters were based on reverse engineering reading to map past event with the chart.

Destiny analysis based on birth energy map of 4 pillars (bazi) Part 1

From the last article,  we have learned about how to transform a Gregorian date to a 4 pillar 8 character chart which could contain all 5 elements or a few of the elements.  There are twelve baizi charts in a day due to the 12 animal signs pairing with heavenly stems which will change every 2 hours.  For example for the date  10 Apr 2018 starting from 12 am rat hour and will end on 10 Apr 2018 11:59 pm  rat(zi)  hour.

10 Apr 2018 2 hourly element energy chart, 12 charts  per day,  Edmund energy chart is with red edge

If there is baby boy name Edmund born on 10 Apr 2018 at 9:45 am, this means his birth chart is the one with red edge. 

The moment he is born he has already absorbed the elemental energy from his first cry and the energy of that hour will be programed into his whole existence of body and mind.  The time energy from year, month, and day and hour pillar will impact his life’s journey which cannot be change.  This is also known as the heaven luck (refer to my article The 4 planes which governs human destiny)

Refer to this youtube video for more explanation 

10 self-elements

We already know that there are 5 universal energies wood, fire, earth, metal and water and each of the element energy has a ying and yang polarity.  The day stem of the birth denotes our self-element and 10 types of self elements.

Zooming into Edmund’s chart,  the day heavenly stem Ren water is his self-element,  which mean he will show the base* traits of Ren water equivalent to sea or vast river which is free flowing and temperamental like the sea.  Self-element is also known as the day master.  

10 self elements derived from 5 elements in Yin and Yang polarity

* - as birth chart is govern by  a few or all 5 element energies,  sometimes self element of water person might not show obvious traits of self element  due to interaction among elements. Example is water self element person has too much earth energy in the chart,  earth control water,  chances this person will not be so flexible or free flowing as water.

Edmund self element is Ren water as he is born in ren water energy day

Strength of self-element

Most master would start to understand an individual by classifying  the strength of the self element in the day stem.

Generally self-element is strengthened by :-

1. supported by same element in the branch rooting,
2. Supported by same element in the next pillar
3. born in the month of same element 
4. there is resource element which can easily create him
5. Chart interaction which transform to element which can support self-element

A moderate strength self-element which is in balance with all the 5 elements’ strength in the birth chart is preferred.  Each element governs a life’s aspects such as wealth, resource learning, self-discipline, output creation and friends in our life in relation to the day master element.  If self has too much resource learning in his destiny, chances are the person would be spoon fed all his life and tend to be lazy.    We shall learn more about all the element role in relation to day master in the consecutive article.

Another example is,  if the day master is earth and has too much earth in the chart and there are no other element to control the earth, then the person could be very slow as earth is almost non moving!

The five elements must exist in harmony and balanced relationship in the chart for a person to have a healthy life.  One of the way to exist in harmony with each element would be for the element to produce the other element in the pillar next to each other.  With smooth transition of energy, the owner of the chart would have a good qi and healthy.
