Thank you for your feedback.

This suggestion took a while to work on. As the original posting feature was created to support only Internet Explorer by the original forum creator.
It had very limited support for other browsers.

I had to source out for a new dynamic editor that supported other browser and then make the necessary changes to integrate with the existing forum features.

So far I am replying you from the Firefox with the new posting editor.

Still have one or two features i need to re-implement such as the quote box feature and one minor issues. However, the current forum post feature should now work for firefox and opera.

Let me know this resolves your problem.

I have just changed the posting editor to one that supports firefox and other
browsers. So you should not have any problems posting with firefox.

I understand that most users are now switching to firefox, so I searched for a firefox friendly editor to replace the original posting editor which only supports Internet Explorer.

I am still working to tweak it so that I can put back the quote box and also some minor issues.

Let me know if this solves your problem.

I'm not saying that my Zi wei chart is good but it looks like it's still better than looking at my Bazi chart Confused

The two concepts are totally different. Ba Zi can reveal your given luck. While Zi Wei Dou Shu Chart is more towards relationship/compatibility analysis/Love related analysis.

Often we find the Zi Wei Dou Shu less useful, because the relationship analysis is also affected by your human luck. So the analysis we find is more used as a for "fun" analysis rather than being practical.

So they are for different purpose.

Quote:
Anyway, I guess I cant question the Heaven luck which is pour upon me. I just want to ask about the terms "Wealth luck against you" and "Luck against you":

Actually, the main point here is luck is against you. When it mentioned the Wealth luck against you. That period is considered a wealth period for you.

A wealth period is often a period where your self element destroys that element period. For a weak person, this period is by default inauspicious as a weak person is not strong enough to control or take advantage of his wealth period. However, if you strengthen your weak element, you can actually benfit from it.

For a strong person, this period automatically because a good period for him. That is why a Strong character person, often have this added advantage comapred to a weak character person.

So between Luck against you and Wealth Luck against you. Wealth Luck against you is considered a mixed blessing period. You can still benefit from it if you make your weak element strong enough.

So between the two I would consider Luck Against you as more inauspicious than Wealth Luck Against you. Wealth luck Against you can still turned in your favour if you make your weak element strong enough to control the wealth.

Hope that helps.

Hi, I purchased the Bazi premium and am very pleased with it! I have the wood dragon on my pillar of life, what would that signify.

In general, you have to look at that pillar in relation to your other ba zi charts. Otherwise, on it's own it does not have any meaning.

I checked your account and ba zi report.

So far you are a weak Water person. The Life pillar is Wood and Earth element. Wood exhaust your water and Earth destroy your Water. So both are not really favouring you. In additional, there is a self punishment chen, which indicate some internal struggle or conflict.

So what this means is that the life pillar isn't so favourable to you. As life pillar is another area to check whether your life is considered a person born with good fortune or a less fortunate chart. This would indicate a chart which is considered a less fortunate chart (ie not born with a silver spoon). And there may be some challenges you may need to over come.

As there is a determination deity, it would mean that as long as you are willing to work hard, you can overcome most of your obstacles. On the plus or possitive side, your life chart is blessed with intelligence deity which means that as long as you use your wit, you maybe able to turn the obstacles into opportunities. Furthermore, there is an Arts star which denotes, creativity.

Hope that helps.

if you have wood as an element, is that your wealth element as well? is ones wealth element the same as the element you get i.e. a horse with a wood element?

Wealth element for your ba zi is defined as the element your self element destory.

For example, a Wood person, Earth is the wealth element.

For example, a Water person, Fire is the wealth element

So for your case if you are a Wood person, then Earth element is your wealth element.

Frankly, depending on whether the ba zi report is done in lunar or solar calendar as well as the detail and depth of the analysis. Different masters even using the same concept can give different birth element strength. I have written a detailed article about the various ba zi difference in this link:-

URL: http://bazifaq.geomancy.net

As far as our website is concern, you will be determined as weak yang Wood Snake. As our free report isn't crippled in anyway, the analysis takes into full consideration all the necessary combinations / clashes and percentage of your element strength before coming to this result. This means that even if you get us to do a paid analysis, you will still be a weak yang Wood Snake. Only difference is the free report does not reveal to you the exact percentage.

If you read the bazifaq link above, you will see there are many examples where we show you how our free report we determine the element strength, through mathematical formula. Just that we do not show you the ba zi percentage breakdown in the free report.

could you please clarify me following reading. Does it mean, that I'll have bad luck practically my whole life?

The free report only shows you big 10-yearly luck.

A person's luckcan be further divided into 10-yearly/5-yearly/yearly/6-monthly/monthly/daily luck.

Of which the 3 more important luck we like to call as:-

Big 10-yearly luck

Medium 5-yearly luck

Small Yearly Luck

So the free report only shows you your big luck and basically tells me that your chart is an average day to day person chart where you have to work even harder on your ownfor your success as big luck is not your side.

However,even where big luck is against you, there will still be 5-yearly/yearly luck that favours you from time to time. But of course those medium and small luck won't be as good ashaving big luck on your side.

Those with good fortune of having big luck with them most of the time are charts we consider as a born with extreme good fortune. So as far as this analysis is consdered, you do not belong to that group. That is about all.

Initially, I ccould not find what you were talking about, as I tested the photo forum and everything work. Until, I tried to access the older photo post. Then I realised that the path to the photos images did not show up properly due to a path error which kept pointing to http://upload/. Not really upload.com but it was supposed to be a directory on our geomancy.net server. Anyway, I have just corrected the problem.

You should be able to view the photos properly now. In fact, it should display on the forum page without having you to visit each link.

Dear Users,

It has been a busy year for us in 2008. There has been many changes made to the website. Some changes should be noticed by users, while some are backend changes that may not be so easily noticed by users. We usually like to keep a record of changes to be added to our milestones.

1) One of the most popular changes would be the release of an updatedDaily Chinese Horoscope & Ba Zi Forecast:-

URL: http://daily.geomancy.net

We noticed many users bookmarking this forecast for your daily use

2) With the Daily Forecast, we also introduced an updated Yearly Forecast Layout for 2009 and upto 2013:-

URL: http://www.geomancy.net/resources/yearly-forecast/yearly-forecast.htm

Again, we noticed that users were extremely pleased with the improved layout and highly detailed breakdown for all the different horoscope

3) With the introduction of the forecast, we had also made backend improves to the many advanced reports (which is not accessable through our online member reports). We do have some improvements planned for the Ba Zi Premium users in time to come. So look out for more on this in future updates.

4) We even launched a new wiki.geomancy.net feature to make it easy for Cecil to collate all the useful resources into one single area.

URL: http://wiki.geomancy.net

5) Due to so many postings on the forum since 1996, we found that our default search sometimes cannot find the right resources asit sorts more by the date of the post. As such, we had replaced it with the Google SiteSearch which we find able to find the correct site resources that you are looking for.

This is possible because our website is extensively indexed by Google, and that makes finding the correct resources easier with the powerful search algorithm.

6) Access to our member area and personalised report area is now enabled torequire SSL encryption security. This is to provide additional security and privacy to our members.

Although, this feature was already available many years back. We did not enforce it as the report generate especially for complex report would slow downsignificantly. However, due to our recent dual harpertown server upgrade last year, we found that the reports would not slow down as much as it did in the past.As such, decided to enforcemake SSLlogin a requirement for all member area.

URL: https://www.geomancy.net/members/members-login/members-login-secure.htm

7) eNETS Credit Card Payment Gateway since Nov 2008, need to be upgraded. We had been working on it and the new and improved gateway should be made available by end Jan 2009. The live transaction is scheduled to be ready on 19 Jan 2009 but it will take us a few days to test and make sure the integration is 100% ready before we enable it back to users to make use.

For the time being, users could still make payment via paypal.com our alternative payment gateway.

8) Server Date and Time has been changed to GMT +0800 (Singapore Time), rather than the default US server time. This is so that we no longer need to apply GMT time changes to any of our online reports. Also, this will make forum/email date and time correspond more correctly to our local time, rather than to the local time of where our server is hosted.

9) Recently, we have been using Firefox/Google Chrome/Safari browser much more than we normally do. As we were using these alternative browsers, we detected some html page formatting differences when viewed in these browsers. As I see these formatting differences, I try to fix them so that they will be viewed as correctly as it would be when you use the Internet Explorer.

10) We also constantly upgrade our server software. This is to ensure we have the latest server technology to make sure the website can support the latest technology. We also constantly make sure our website is optimised properly so that it takes a little time for the server to generate the page. This will ensure that server can handle lots of traffic at any single moment. So far wehave yet to see the server slow down even with the increased traffic.

Although we have not posted much website announcements. There has been quite a lot of enhancements made overthe year. These are just some of the milestone upgrades that we want to keep track for the year.

Wishing all users a Happy and Prosperous Chinese New Year!

Whatlevel of % impact does the annual analysis for zodiacs (Chinese Horoscope Predictions)has on an individual as having some though that there are millions of people born under the same zodiac animal. Could they be having the same fate.

General, yearly forecast on chinese horoscope are always general.

Basic horoscope forecast will normally contain 12 horoscope signs. You can go deeper into the analysis if you combine it with your ba zi. Such as our yearly horoscope which combines the horoscope and ba zi together. So this means that within each horoscope sign, there can be further division into weak/strong plus the five different elements. So this will be at least slightly better than basic horoscope.

http://www.geomancy.net/resources/yearly-forecast/fortunes-2009.htm

If you want a detailed personalised one, then it has to be a personalised horoscope or ba zi based on your date and time of birth. Your personalised horoscope/ba zi will be more accurate than general yearly forecast. So you normally should just use the yearly horoscope just as a basic guide.

Generally, a big luck period can either have luck against you or luck with you. Then there is further division into normal luck and wealth luck.

So Wealth Luck with you means this is one of your wealth luck period with potential wealth luck that favours you.

Dear Anon,

What this means is that:-

1) Your favourable elements are:-

a) Fire (4%)

b) Earth (4%)

Both are equally lacking, so both are good for you.

2) Your unfavourable elements are:-

Wood (45%) - Too much so much reduce or avoid

Water (45%) - Too much so much reduce or avoid

Metal (0%) - Although, this is your unfavourable, but having too little is also no good. So some metal when you have sufficient of Fire+Earth will help you attain perfect harmony of 20% of each element. However, this element is still bad for you, so until you have enough of Fire+Earth, adding metal without Fire+Earth will still weaken you.

So basically, you need to first add Fire and Earth which are to strengthen you. After you have sufficient of Fire and Earth, some Metal will help to destory the excess Wood.

The goal is to have 20% of each element to be in perfect harmony, so you need some of each element. But not too much or too little. Having too much or too little of one elemene vs another is what caused the unbalanced state.

It is impossible to tell how things around you will impact your percentage value. So you just need to follow the advise of adding Fire+Earth first. When you have sufficient of that then some Metal will benefit you.

How you do this is for example, say in your career. If you are Sales (Fire). Say your job also handles some Accounting (Metal). Your carer would be Fire+Metal, which will be one way to add the metal while making sure you have sufficient Fire to boost your luck first.

Hope that helps.

Dear Rachel,

Actually, that is not really contradicting at all. The balance of five element is for you to fine tune your favourable and unfavourable elements.

You should simply just proritise the favourable elements in to the different percentage.

For example, a strong water, favourable arewood (0%) / fire (26%) / earth (5%). This simply means that:-

Wood (0%) is the most favourable

Earth (5%) is the 2nd most favourable

Fire (26%) is the least favourable as there is already more than sufficient.

Same goes for the unfavourable element. For example Metal (50%) and Water (5%).

Metal (50%) would be most unfavourable (so should avoid)

Water (5%) would be the least unfavourable (some water when there is sufficient wood/earth/fire would be good for a perfect harmony)

So the balance of the five element is meant for you to determine which element you need more and which you need lesser. Ultimately, your favourable elements will still be good for you. Only that, the element you lack mostmay be more effective then the element you have more than sufficient.

Quote:

For my son (born 23rd August 2008), it says he's weak wood andfavourable elements arewater and wood, unfavourable elements are fire and metal.

However in his Balance of Elements Chart, it says his fire elementis 0% and needs to be increased. His water element is 26% and is Acceptable (Reduce Element).

Your son is a weak Wood, so by default if you do not know your five element percentage, water and wood are generally his favourable while fire and metal is his unfavourable element.

The ideal is to have exactly 20% of each element to be in perfect harmony. However, in reality, your five element percentage is often unbalanced, with some percentage being more or some being less. This is where the balance of the five elements will help you decide which is the more elements is most favourable or unfavourable for you.

As a weak Wood, either water / wood will benefit a weak wood. However, as your son already have 26% water, this means that the element he has sufficient of water. And thus, wood would be likely his more favourable element compared to water.

As for the unfavourable, fire and metal will make a weak wood weaker. There will again be one unfavourable which is too much making it the most unfavourable, while the other is your least unfavourable.

In this case, your son's fire is 0% which means this is likely the least unfavourable element. Some Fire when you have sufficient wood/water to boost your son'sweak Wood is actually beneficial for him. However, you can only add fire after you have strengthen his weak wood, otherwise, it will make him weaker.

Quote:

For my eldest daughter (born 19th October 2002), it says she's strong metal and favourable elements are water and fire. Yet in her Balance of Elements Chart, it says her fire element is 21% (Balance)and doesn't need to be increased or reduced. Is Fire still a favourable element for her, then?? Or should she just not have too many red things around her anymore? It says her Wood Element is 0% and needs increasing, so does that mean she should have more wood element stuff around her??

Same goes for your daugther. As s Strong metal, her favourable elements normally are water/fire. There is sufficient fire (21%), so this will make it her least favourable element, while water is likely to be her most favourable element.

The percentage will help you determine which elements a person requires more or less. So this means that by default whether you add water or fire, you will strengthen the strong metal. However, the element you lack most will of course be the most effective.

Same goes for the unfavourable elements. The element that is too little will mean that adding some will still be good, but only when you have sufficient of your favourable elements. Otherwise, by default your unfavourable elements will still be unfavourable to you.

So this means that though fire is still her unfavourable elements, she already have sufficient of it, so adding more fire won't be as effective as adding more water.

For a Strong Metal,Wood is her wealth element which will still be her favourable element. Since she lacks 0% this means this is one of the most favourable elements for her.

MY BAZI LUNAR AND XIA 2020-04-04.pdf

Difference between Chinese Lunar & Xia (Seasonal / Hsia / Solar) Calendar
Many different variations in Feng Shui Concepts
Many variations in the same Concepts
How different Calendar System affects the Ba Zi Chart
Why does Geomancy.net adpot Lunar Calendar & also use the Xia Calendar only when necessary?
Common Calendar Format is Extremely Important
Differences in True Birth Element: Weak or Strong?
Some common variations in Ba Zi Concept
Special types of charts (Follow the Leader Chart)
Is the Greenwich Meridian Time (GMT) needed in Ba Zi?

2. Previously, resources on these questions were found on different postings.

2.1. We have decided to combine all the resources into this single post so that you can
read all the various questions commonly asked on the Ba Zi.

2.2. This way, we do not need to individually reply to each and everyone.

DIFFERENCE BETWEEN CHINESE LUNAR CALENDAR & SEASONAL (XIA) CALENDAR

There are two Chinese Calendar Systems in use today:

[1.] Chinese Lunar Calendar - This is used most commonly based on moon's rotation with the Earth. That is where you get the full moon on every 1st & 15th Lunar month.

This is official reference calendar for all Chinese Major & Minor festivals and celebrations.

For example, even today, some celebrate our Chinese lunar birthday instead of the western dates.

To the Chinese, Chinese New Year is the most important occasion and it falls on the 1st Lunar day of every 1st Lunar month.

Chinese New Year lasts 15 days i.e. 1st Lunar day and last day is on the 15th Lunar day of the 1st month.

Reference: Major & Minor Chinese Festivals are based specially on Lunar Dates (Never Seasonal Calendar):-

[2.] Xia Calendar (Hsia / Seasonal / Calendar or some call Chinese Solar Calendar) - This is used to determine the seasonal influence. Under Ba Zi it is used partially for seasonal influence analysis plus any analysis that requires the seasonal influence.

We have to understand that China in the past depended heavily on agriculture i.e. when to start planting crops & when to harvest it.

The Xia (Hsia) or Seasonal Calendar is is also known as the Farmer’s Calendar.

The farming community then, placed greater significance on Xia dates for their festivities. Thus to them, it has a deeper meaning i.e. their entire livelyhood depended on this calendar system.

No wonder they tend to celebrate Chinese New Year (CNY) using the Xia dates to coincide with the first day of Spring instead of the actual Lunar 1st day.

The Chinese Farmers' Almanac updated yearly and sold close to the 2nd/3rd quarter of every year is still in production. It is known as Tong Shu ( 通 = all 书 = book) literally means the "All-knowing Book". Thus some Chinese today follow the traditions of their ancestors and keep on placing a greater importance than say the Lunar New Year.

Some Chinese today, still hang a Tong Shu 通书 above their their main door. [Photo shows how much care and attention of tying many ribbons across the book.]

The saying goes: "Old habits die hard." But surely with every succeeding new generation, this practise may eventually die-out with them.

Likewise, today, many modern Chinese no longer have a relationship the Farmer's Almanac.

Naturally, they celebrate Chinese New Year (CNY) based on the 1st Day of the 1st Month of the Lunar calendar. Majority of Overseas Chinese also use Lunar calendar. For e.g. Malaysia & Singapore CNY falls on the 1st & 2nd Lunar day of the 1st Lunar month and not on the Xia calendar.

Example of the differences:-



Chinese Lunar Calendar 2009 Year of the OX is from 26 Jan 2009 to 13 Feb 2010.

Xia Calendar 2009 Year of OX is from 4 Feb 2009 to 18 Feb 2010

Blind or Grey Period:-

The difference 16 Jan 2009 to 3 Feb 2009 where the Chinese Lunar Calendar vs Xia Calendar is often called the Grey or Blind period.

This is where though the moon has passed, the season has not yet come into play.

Both the Chinese Lunar and Xia Calendar are equally important calendars for the Chinese Calendar system.

Only difference lies in one focus on the moon and another focus on the seasons.

Therefore one cannot say that one calendar is better than the other.

They each are meant for different purpose.

They are almost similar except how they define the starting date of each month.

What happens if there is a Blind or Grey Period in an individual's chart?

These are Three Examples: Examples 1 and 2 shows two charts that are affected by the Grey Period.

Example 1: DOB 26 Jan 2009 [This is the First day of the Grey Period between 26 Jan 2009 - 3 Feb 2009]

If a Ba Zi chart is affected by the Grey Period, all our Ba Zi reports will include additional columns showing the Seasonal (Xia) Month & Seasonal (Xia) Year:

Thus if a person's birth-date falls within a Grey Period, our Ba Zi chart will include this Note in the chart also:

This is added to avoid any misunderstanding should someone compare a Ba Zi report prepared with only the Seasonal (Xia) Calendar method. Which we ourselves have already first taken note of these differences.

Sample with 1st Day of Grey Period.pdf

Example 2: DOB 3 Feb 2009 [This is the Last day of the Grey Period between 26 Jan 2009 - 3 Feb 2009]

Since 3 February is the last day of the Grey Period. There will also be a difference in the results if one choose to use the Seasonal method of computation:

[Above] Again, we will highlight the differences of two calendar systems in our Ba Zi Report.

Sample with Last Day of Grey Period.pdf

Example 3: DOB 4 Feb 2009 (Where both Lunar / Seasonal (Xia) Calendar matches up so both charts will be exactly the same)

Only from 4 Feb 2009, will both the month and year match up, since both month/year are crossed over to Ox year:-

Here since the Month/Year of Lunar and Seasonal (XIa) Calendars are identical, this chart is streamlined to shown this Header in our Ba Zi Reports.

Sample Chart with No Grey Period - Lunar & Seasonal exactly the same.pdf

This particularly situation where the horoscope sign of year is affected, is particularly so for those between the changing of years. For other months, you will only see a difference in the month change.

This is why in most cases both Lunar/Seasonal (Xia) Calendar are the same. It is only people within this Grey Period will find that the report by Seasonal (Xia) Calendar isn't as good, as the analysis done by our Lunar version.

MANY DIFFERENT VARIATIONS IN FENG SHUI CONCEPTS

There are many Feng Shui/fortune telling related concepts:-

1) Ba Zi (Pillars of Destiny or Four Pillars) - Is a luck forecast of a person's Heaven Luck

2) Chinese Horoscope / Chinese Astrology (Zi Wei Dou Shu) - Which focus on horoscope and relationship analysis

3) Compass School (Eight House & Flying Star)

a) Eight House is a personal Gua (Kua) system that gives some personalization for the Compass School.

b) Flying Star is an advanced compass school that basically is to determine the Earth Luck of a House. Something like a Ba Zi of a house.

4) Fortune Telling related - I-Ching / Palmistry / Face Reading / Bone Reading even Ba Zi has some of this aspect. In any case, a combination of all these will give a good fortune telling reading.

In any case, we are more focused on Feng Shui which is usually related to Ba Zi, Chinese Horoscope and Compass School which focuses on a person's luck and the relationship to the environment.

MANY VARIATIONS IN THE SAME CONCEPTS

In almost all concepts, there are numerous variations in concepts and techniques by many different masters depending on which concepts or calendar format he/she has learnt from. So much so that even the same concept, you will find different variations such masters using different calendar system.

Why two masters have the different interpretations?

Even for masters with the same calendar system, they also each have some variation in how they interpret the analysis results. There are also varying degree of how accurate the analysis is done which also affects the results. This is why, for the same home, depending on all these factors, you can have 3 different masters with different interpretations. So unfortunately, this makes it even more confusing for a Feng Shui newbie.

It is unfortunate, but this is bound to happen. The reasons is because of the different concepts and different calendar system adopted.

So normally, it is best to with the master that you trust. It is unwise to seek bits of analysis from here and there and attempt to put it together yourself. As there are different variations, you won't know if they will work well together or not.

HOW DIFFERENT CALENDAR SYSTEM AFFECTS THE BA ZI CHART

Various variation of Ba Zi (Pillars of Destiny or Four Pillars) Analysis

Generally, if you use a common calendar format for the entire ba zi chart, you cannot be faulted. This is because the analysis will be correct when you relate the different pillars in the same calendar format. Such as the year to the month pillar or the month to the day pillar.

However, it will be wrong if two different calendar format are mixed and you try to relate the pillars together.

A) Ba ZI WITH FULL CHINESE LUNAR CALENDAR

A Ba Zi chart done with Full Chinese Lunar Calendar will look like this:-

Chinese Lunar Calendar Ba Zi
Year: Ji-Chou (Ox) - (Lunar Calendar Year)
Month: Bing-Yin - (Lunar Calendar Month)
Day: Xin-Wei - (Lunar Calendar Day)

B) BA ZI WITH FULL SEASONAL CALENDAR (XIA/H'SIA)

A ba zi chart done with Full Seasonal (Xia) Calendar will look like this:-

Seasonal (Xia) Calendar Ba Zi
Year: Wu-Zi (Rat) - (Seasonal Calendar Year)
Month: Yi-Chou - (Seasonal Calendar Month)
Day: Xin-Wei - (Seasonal Calendar Day)

C) BA ZI WITH MIXED LUNAR & SEASONAL (XIA) CALENDAR

A ba zi chart done with mixed Lunar & Seasonal (Xia) Calendar will look like this:-

Mixed Lunar & Seasonal (Xia) Ba Zi
Year: Ji-Chou (Ox) - (Lunar Calendar Year)
Month: Yi-Chou - (Seasonal-Xia Calendar Month)
Day: Xin-Wei - (Lunar Calendar Day)

Basically, both a) Ba zi with Full Chinese Lunar Calendar or b) Ba Zi with Full Seasonal (Xia) Calendar are both technically correct as they both will use one consistent calendar format for the full chart. c) Ba Zi with mixed lunar & seasonal Calendar is however INCORRECT.

There are some websites which will generate the Ba zi with Mixed Lunar Calendar & Seasonal (Xia) Calendar which is NOT correct. It is absolutely wrong to mix the calendar formats.

This is like comparing an Apple to an Orange. How can you have a chart that is showing the day and year in Lunar calendar and month in Seasonal (Xia) Calendar.

WHY DOES GEOMANCY.NET ADOPT THE BA ZI CHINESE LUNAR CALENDAR & ALSO USE THE XIA CALENDAR ONLY WHEN NECESSARY?

So if both a) Ba Zi Calendar with Full Ba Zi Calendar and b) Ba Zi Calendar with Full Seasonal (Xia) Calendar is technically correct. So why is it Geomancy.Net adopted the Lunar Calendar and also use the Seasonal Calendar only when necessary. Instead of simply using only the Seasonal (Xia) Calendar?

This is because you must understand that if you show a chart in the Seasonal (Xia) Calendar, it actually greatly eases your need to calculate the next luck pillar, the seasons etc.  As based on just the month or year, you can easily plot the chart out manually. Can thus explain why it so popular with so many geomancers.

We know personally how difficult it is to calculate a Ba Zi chart manually. Furthermore, this affects actually only a handful of people that falls in the Blind/Grey period. Otherwise, the charts are exactly identical.

Why go for the easy way out and miss out some of the advanced pillars of destiny concepts?

For a Ba Zi Chart done in Lunar Calendar, you need to calculate the seasons where necessary, and thus making it more time consuming to analyse or plot out other information. Just by looking at the Ba Zi chart that is shown in the Lunar Calendar.

Benefiting from "The best of both worlds"

At Geomancy.Net, we have already programmed the complex Ba Zi calculation with the computer, so why should we go for the easy way out and miss out some of the advanced pillars of destiny concepts.

A) DIFFERENCE IN YEARLY HOROSCOPE

The main reasons is the difference in the Horoscope sign that you will have if you use a Seasonal (Xia) Calendar.

In the Seasonal (Xia) Calendar, for those born in usually either in December, January or February may find that you may end up with your Ba Zi horoscope as Rat, whereas in the Chinese Horoscope or Chinese Calendar as Ox.

So which horoscope sign to use if you are in such a situation? Are you a Rat or a Ox?

For example:-

Chinese Lunar Calendar 2009 Year of the OX is from 26 Jan 2009 to 13 Feb 2010.

Seasonal (Xia) Calendar 2009 Year of OX is from 4 Feb 2009 to 18 Feb 2010

By using the Chinese Lunar Calendar Ba Zi, your Horoscope sign will be Ox once you cross 16 Jan 2009. This will be the same even when you use the Chinese Horoscope analysis.

However, should you be using the Seasonal (Xia) Calendar for the same date 16 Jan 2009.

You will get a situation where your Ba Zi will say that you are a Rat, while your Chinese horoscope considers you a Ox.

So under this situation which horoscope compatibility do you apply? Are you a Rat or a Ox?

The Chinese Horoscope has a lot of features about compatibility and if this compatibility analysis differs from the Ba Zi horoscope, what to believe?

This is one of the major problem that you will find if you use the Ba Zi Seasonal (Xia) Calendar.

By sticking to the Chinese Lunar Calendar, you won't have this conflict.

As such, be it the ba zi or Chinese horoscope you will be a Ox once you cross the 26 Jan 2009.

B) ADVANCED PILLAR OF DESTINY ANALYSIS

As we have learnt both the Chinese Lunar and Seasonal Calendar Ba Zi calculation. We found that when you do convert the chart to the Seasonal Ba Zi Chart, you will actually not be able to calculate a couple of advanced Ba Zi analysis. As that really depends on your actual Chinese Calendar month. The blind or grey period actually is necessary for such calculation. But this won't be possible if you use the Ba Zi Seasonal (Xia) Calendar.

C) LUCK FORECAST FOR A BA ZI LUNAR CHART ACTUALLY PROVIDED A MORE ACCURATE FORECAST FROM OUR EXTENSIVE TESTING

Having done so many Ba Zi analysis, we find that the Ba Zi chart actually provided a more accurate forecast than one that is charted out from the Seasonal (Xia) Calendar.

This is because the Ba Zi lunar chart can be related to the Chinese horoscope and many other concepts that is based on the lunar calendar.

Ba Zi is only one of the many tools in Feng Shui / horoscope. It has it's strength and weakness. But if you are able to put together analysis from various reports, you actually cancel out each other's weakness and re-enforce the final interpretation.

This is why we say that the Ba Zi lunar chart when put together with other concepts often allows us to better troubleshoot the source of the problems and thus able to apply the concepts more effectively.

D) BA ZI LUNAR CHART CALCULATION IS ACTUALLY AVAILABLE BUT VERY FEW PEOPLE REALLY KNOWS ABOUT IT

As most books available to teach Ba Zi books available on Feng Shui were written by Hong Kong Masters. Most Hong Kong Masters are applying the Ba Zi Seasonal (Xia) Calendar.So most people who learn Ba Zi are basically learning and applying this method of calculation.

However, having more people using it simply because it can be easily learnt from books. Does not necessary mean that it is the only way or the best method available.

In our case, we are able to chart both the Chinese Lunar and Seasonal Calendar Ba Zi. Which means we know the pros and cons of each of the concepts. But eventually chosen to use the Chinese Lunar Calendar over the Seasonal Calendar because of the a few critical issues we noted and that it missed out a lot of advanced analysis of the Ba Zi Lunar Chart.

So we do not see why we should give users a less accurate analysis for the sake of convenience.

COMMON CALENDAR FORMAT IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT

Our website uses Lunar Calendar as the standard Calendar format for all our website tools (i.e. Ba Zi, Eight house, Flying Star etc). This allows all tools to properly work and re-enforce the analysis results.

Your horoscope sign must be the same whether you use the Ba Zi or Chinese Horoscope, otherwise you will have problems trying to apply the cures or determine compatibility. By sticking to the Chinese Lunar Calendar, you won't have this conflict. As such, be it the Ba Zi or Chinese horoscope you will be a Ox once you cross the 26 Jan 2009.

Even Eight House or Flying Star is based on Chinese Lunar Calendar. So you again need to make sure you have a common frame of reference to be able to relate the different analysis together.

For all our website tools, they will all work well with each other.

As each tool specialise in one area of analysis, by combining all the strength of the results you can get a very comprehensive overview. For example, Ba Zi is good for your luck forecast and personal element. Chinese horoscope focus on the compatibility. Eight House will cover the house suitability, while Flying Star will cover the earth luck.

DIFFERENCES IN TRUE BIRTH ELEMENT: WEAK OR STRONG?

This is not really due to the Calendar System. I have seen two masters using the same calendar format and still give you different results. So this is due more to the way the chart has been analysed to determine whether you are a weak or strong element.

In fact, this depends a lot on how accurately you:-

a) Check the seasons of birth which affects the five element seasonal strength.

b) Check the combinations and clashes. These will affect again the final element and strength.

c) Even analysis with or without the House of Life / House of Concept can affect the final element.

After all the various checks are done, our website will tabulate a percentage value. By comparing the elements that makes you weak vs the element that makes you strong.

Our website report will use this mathematical formula to determine whether you should be classified as weak or strong. We can clearly show users how we determine your element strength for our report.

So if our analysis determined you are a weak element, it means elements that make you weak to you are less than elements that make you strong.

Our free report isn't crippled in any way, so the result will be exactly the same as the paid report. Except that we do not show you this percentage breakdown. This percentage breakdown is key in applying Feng Shui effectively, as such it is reserved exclusively feature for paid users of the Ba Zi report.

SOME VARIATIONS IN BA ZI CONCEPT

A) DO WE NEED TO BREAK THE ZI (RAT) HOUR INTO EARLY / LATE RAT

There is no need for this. I had recently replied to a user on this. Please see this link for more information about why:-

URL:

SPECIAL TYPES OF BA ZI CHART (I.E. FOLLOW THE LEADER CHART)

Actually, there is really nothing significantly different from the 'follow the leader' type of chart if you really know how to properly determine the weak/strong and apply the five element of balance properly.

Read more about this from this forum link which I had given a very clear example:-

URL:

APPLYING LOCATION FACTOR INTO BA ZI

1. Frankly, all the various practitioners/master who use TIME ZONE or LOCATION factors, are modern changes advocated by modern practitioners. There is no such calculation when Ba Zi was invented in China.

2. The only method that is technically correct is to apply the LOCATION factor to the Chinese Lunar Calendar. Even this has two issues:-

a) Even 0.01 degree off either the latitude and/or longitude, will make a major change to your Ba Zi chart. This 0.01 degree of error can make your chart even less accurate if it is incorrect. Which can be even less accurate than a chart that you leave the hour pillar as unknown.

b) Most people don't even have the time of birth, let a lone the exact place of birth. So why complicate the issue.

3. Using GMT time zone is a bad way to apply the location factor, because GMT timezone only affects the longitude changes. Furthermore, GMT has been simplified so much so it is no longer as accurate as in the past.

4. Our stand on this issue is NOT to add these level of complication to the analysis. Meaning that you should just use your local time (regardless of what country), to analyse the Ba Zi.

This is because if you truly understand how the Ba Zi works, the HOUR pillar will not make a major impact in terms of the 10-yearly, 5-yearly, yearly and monthly luck pillars.

The hour pillar gives additional pillars available for combinations and clashes, so this can affect the final outcome of a person to be either weak or strong. A day without the hour will give the rough element strength of the day. Only a few hours may result in weak/strong element. Otherwise, not much change will occur. Your luck pillars will not be too badly influenced by the hour impact. Except for minor yearly and chart clash or harms that may occur. But these are minor as your general luck will not alter too much.

5. This is why we can still analyse a person luck fairly well even if you do not provide the hour pillar. Just check out some of the masters who had done case study of famous people, you will noticed that they do it just with the date of birth. They don't even apply any location factor.

Ba zi has designed to compensate from the lack of the hour pillar. So with or without the hour of birth, a person's chart can still be charted out. Just that with the hour pillar, your forecast will be more accurate.

6. This is why we find no need to apply location into the Ba Zi. Just use your local time and it should be okay.

7. You must always remember that a Ba Zi is supposed to be a heavenly GIVEN chart of what kind of luck you are supposed to have assuming your environment remains constant. This means it does not consider education, your house (earth luck), people around you, your career etc.

However, in real life, how can you expect your environment to be the same all the time. Your luck is always being altered by your house luck, people around you, and your career.

Let me give you some example:-

a. Given a pair of twins with the exact date and time of birth. One has primary education and one has a doctorate degree. Which you think will have better life. Most likely the one with a doctorate degree.

b. Given a same pair of twins. One stays in US and one stays in IRAQ. Which will you think will have a better life. Again most likely US as it is more stable and peaceful, as compared to a war torn country such as IRAQ.

c. Given two persons:-

Person A has the 10-year luck favourable to him, but he stays in a house with entrapped Feng Shui and death suitability to the home.

Person B has the 10-year luck unfavourable to him, but he says in a house with excellent Feng Shui and prosperity suitability to the home.

The Person B will have actually a much better luck then person A. Cos, a person's earth luck has been ADVERSELY impacted which supercedes his Ba Zi luck.

8. Therefore Ba Zi is NOT a tool which can forecast all past events with 100% accuracy. What it can do is give you a forecast of potential pitfalls allowing you to maximise your luck by avoiding the bad period. Many modern practitioners/masters, try to make you think that Ba Zi can give you an accurate assessment of your past and future events. How is this possible, if the concept is only supposed to provide you with a heavenly given luck?

9. So our advice to you is just to leave the hour unknown or unaltered as it is NOT necessary.

GEOMANCY.NET'S REPORT HAS BEEN EXTENSIVELY TESTED & WILL WORK WELL TOGETHER

Our reports has been extensively tested and is based on concepts and practices that has been known to produce good results from our experience.

The reports are all using a common calendar format and thus will work effectively from one report to another.

In fact, before we had released our tools on our website, we had carefully evaluated all the different concepts. For each concepts, we had carefully evaluated the pros and cons about the different variations available from different sources available. We had chosen the concepts that is most technically correct or from our experience has shown to work well for most people most of the time.

So you can be assured that whatever concepts we use on our website has a reason behind it. And have done so, right from the launch of our website. However, previously we did not have the time to really explain clearly why we do so, as we had so many things to do.

In fact, we have many clients whom had taken our services since we started and have been growing as our website.All these are further prove, that the concepts and tools on our website really do work well when used together.

It is best you apply the Feng Shui from a website or source that you trust if you are not sure. We do not advice you mixed our analysis with another website or source or vice versa. As there is no way to know whether the analysis is of the same calendar format or whether the same variations of the concepts.

MJ H. wrote:
Could you kindly assist in soving the difference?

This is one of the many variations in different concepts available in Feng Shui by different practitioner/masters.

One chinese hour by default is actually Two (2) western hours.

Rat hour happens tovspan between 11-11.59pm and 12am-12.59am.

So some modern practitioners, believe it should be broken up into Late Rat and Early Rat. And therefore, they added a modification to the original concept, believing this will solve the late/morning rat.

However, we find this to be a flawed concept.

The reason is because lets take 14/15 Nov 2008 as an example:-

a) 14 Nov 12am-12.59am is already considered the early morning of the 14 Nov.
b) 14 Nov 11pm-11.59pm is already considered the late evening of the 14 Nov.
c) 15 Nov 12am-12.59am is the early morning of the 15 Nov.
d) 15 Nov 11pm-11.59pm is the late evening of the 15 Nov.

The confusion here is that when we talk about 11pm-1am, it crosses between b) and c), so the reason why the modern practitioner feels there is a need to break it to early morning and late morning, is because they are refering to b) and c).

But don't forget, the day is already a new day for c). The Early / Late Hour is already being considered as you should be refering to a) and b) and c) and d). Meaning the day has to be of the same day.

Those that apply this concept, forgot, that the day is already broken up to the early and late zi. So there is really no need to further modify the concept.

We must always focus that the Rat hour spans between two dates. But the correct way of assessing that Hour,is the hour represents the time of the day for the same day:-

a) 14 Nov 12am-12.59am is already considered the early morning of the 14 Nov.
b) 14 Nov 11pm-11.59pm is already considered the late evening of the 14 Nov.

If you do it that way, it is exactly the same as what the modern practitioners did of breaking the hour into early or late morning.

But they are only applying a 2nd division if you do so.

Thus, we find it a very flawed variation in the ba zi concept.

Furthermore, by further breaking the hour into Early/Late Rat, instead of having 12 equally divided chinese hours, you now have 11 equally divided chinese hours and 1 chinese hour that is specially broken down into 1/2 a chinese hour.

This actually will break the original concept of the ba zi which is based on the 12 earthly branch and 10 heavenly stem.

So technically, this is incorrect and will only break the cycle of the 12 hours that ba zi was originally designed for. Thus, it is not recommended to do so.

In fact there are a lot of varations for even the same concept.

As a newbie to feng shui, you can easily get confused if you do not understand the reason behind it.

For this reason, I have recently added a Ba Zi FAQ that hopes to cover most of the common questions about the Ba Zi.

URL: http://forum.geomancy.net/phpforum/article.php?bid=2&fid=2&mid=23906&new=

Almost, all our concepts that is available on our website has been carefully reviewed.

We had also already done a lot of pros and cons evaluations of the various variations in the differentconcepts.

Thus, the tools we have on our website is based on best practices and most technically correct.

So the tools will work properly together to give the best overall analysis.

There is often no need to make any further modification to any results from our website.

Please read our newly added Ba Zi FAQ, and you will understand why:-

URL: http://forum.geomancy.net/phpforum/article.php?bid=2&fid=2&mid=23906&new=

A lot of ba zi analysis available doesn't really do a very comprehensive analysis to determine your element. As for our analysis, we use a mathematical formula of evaluating your favourable vs unfavourable to determine if you are weak or strong.

In the above link, i have a few examples showing that. So there is no need for me tohave to individually explain how come it is weak/strong. All our report can be proven with the same formula.

So if our free report shows you as a weak element, it is due to your unfavourable element being more to favourable element. Our free report isn't crippled in anyway, the result will be exactly what we will use as the paid report. Only thing isfor the free report is that we do not show you how we derive the results.

The five element percentage is extremely important in improving a persons luck. Therefore, this information is exclusivelyavailable onlyto Paid users of the Ba Zi Premium.

Dear Master, I have a question about the birthplace in BaZi. Shouldn't the birthplace make a difference when calculating your chart? For example, if I was born on the 16th day of the month somewhere in the East, in the Western hemisphere it is still the 15th day of the month. Can you explain, please? Thanks!

Yes, it might seem that it is important to apply the location factor. However, it is really not practical when you really have to apply it.

I have recently added a Ba Zi FAQ. Read the Applying the Location into Ba Zi section and you will understand why:-

Edited by Robert Lee - 16 Oct 2008

Dear Users,

A new daily forecast module has been created and added to the our main page.You can check the daily luck changes when you visit our website.

This module is based on the our highly popular Yearly Forecast Module, but has been modified to show it on a daily basis. We also simplified it to show Good/Avg/Bad in colour coded manner for easy viewing.

Since the intital release, we have signifcantly improved the forecast report. Here are thecurrent features:-

The forecast is real time, so it will update itself asthe hour / day changes.

You will be able to see all 12 horoscopes forecast for the day itself. At a single glance, you will be able to tell which horoscope is good / average / bad.

You will see how the different five elements affect the different 12 horoscope signs that will be best / good / average / bad / worst. (ie Weak Water Rat and Strong Water Rat will have different luck). This will be more accurate than just looking at the horoscope sign. The colour coding table has been significantly improved for greater visibility immediately tell the good vs bad.

You will also be able to see the day and hour information. This will summarisewhich horoscope is compatible and what elements is favourable/unfavourable to you.

The forecast is flexible enough to be installed into any page and you can scroll the content to view more details. Therefore, it won't clutter or waste space for other content.

We also have a shortcut url for users to bookmark if you want to have a separate page to view the full report:-

URL: http://daily.geomancy.net

User canview the Next Day's forecast. This will allow users to be able to planwhether the next day is good or bad.

Last but not least, this forecast feature is free for all users to enjoy

This forecast will be good enough for anyone to make use. Here are the limitations:-

Although it can consider the ba zi elements, there is no way to consider the clashes/harms etc unless a date of birth is provided. So for even more detailed luck forecast, you shouldrefer to the Ba Zi Premium's Yearly/Monthly/Daily forecast report.

URL: http://www.geomancy.net/products/po-bazi/po-bazi.htm

If you are looking for auspicious dates for a specific event (Move-In etc), then the free auspicious date report will still be the most comprehensive as it will consider you ba zi along with the tung shu events.

Hope you enjoy the new site feature.

I will like to check with you, as I have already selected a date for my wedding but now, need to choose the auspicious time for Guo Men and etc, also need to choose date and time for GDL as well as An Chuang. Are you able to give me some adviceon this matter? I went to a shifu in Goldenmile Complexlast year, paid in full and realisehe actually closed down.My dateis fixed and I get no help. Are you able to enlightenme?

Our wedding date analysis is extremely personalised. In order to help you we will need to analyse the birthdate of the bride and groom. Only then will we know which are the auspicious datesavailable before your wedding event can be used as the An Chuan or Guo Da Li. Guo Da Li or An Chuan is usually done 1 week or 1 month before the actual date.

As for the auspicious hour, usually this is less important as long as the day is good. But for practical reasons usually most wedding will start in morning about 7-9am or 9-11am timing range. So most of the time we opt for more practical sounding such as 9 (jiu or longevity ie 8.29am etc) So again we still need the ba zi information in order to know which hour is auspicious for picking up the bride or tea ceremony.

So if you want us to advise you, please e-mail support@geomancy.net with the date of birth of the bride & groom and your choosen wedding date. Refer to this post as a reference.

This wedding procedure guide can be found here for your reference in case you need guide on the wedding procedures:-
