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 expert near 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 customized 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 maximize 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.
