Ken's Cyber Cave

Are you ready for the 2026- 27 "Russet Horse and Red Ram Disasters 赤馬紅羊劫"?

noreply@blogger.com (Ken Lai) — Sun, 01 Feb 2026 09:24:00 +0000

According to the Chinese 60-years cycle calendar, 2026 is the year of "russet horse" or the year with the strongest yang (masculine) fire energy. 2027 is the year of "red ram" or the year with the strong yin fire energy. Because according to history, major natural and man-made disasters like flooding, fire, revolution, wars and the likes tend to happen during these two strong fire energy years (e.g., 1846, 1906, 1966, 2026). Chinese has called these two years "Russet Horse and Red Ram Disasters 赤馬紅羊劫".

There are numerous videos on YouTube warning us about the upcoming of these "disaster" years with the following sensational titles:

-- "Russet Horse and Red Ram Years: Blessing or Disasters?"

-- "Russet Horse and Red Ram: Years of Major Disturbance?"

-- "2026 Bing-Wu year: Collapse of World Order...."

-- "Russet Horse and Red Ram Years Predictions: Political Instability and Frequent Natural Disasters"

-- "The Thousand Years Old Curse: Russet Horse and Red Ram Disasters-- Gigantic Global Changes"

-- "2026 is a trap: Many People Will not Survive"

And more.

Insurance salesmen would love to see these videos get many views. People may be scared and pump up their life insurance or purchase extra protection like earthquake, flooding, tornado and fire.

Should we lose sleep over these sensational videos?

The answer is both "yes" and "no".

"Yes" because of history shows whenever the fire energy of a year is strong, the world goes berserk. Recent development in world politics also points to this direction-- jungle law and gunboat diplomacy resurface, trade war and real wars, mass political movements, mass layoffs due to AI, current icy weather and .......

"No" because we, as "ordinary people", there is not much we can do to change or resist global or macro changes. All we can do are sit tight and "hope for blessing 自求多福". "Blessing" or "Fuk 福" is a very low key request in Chinese. It means "let one live his/ her life peacefully". There is even a "God of Blessing" to handle this job.

Hence, a modest request for "blessing" is much easier to get from the "God of Blessing" than asking for hitting the lottery jackpot. From the deity's perspective, any request that does little to change any destiny is easier to grant. Believe me, deities are eager to please us mortals within their limits.

Below is a consecrated picture of "God of Blessing". You may print it out in ID card size and carry with you for protection, put it where you spend long hours or put it in your altar for worshipping.

Based on the law of energy exchange, you cannot get something out of nothing. Please do an act of kindness (like feeding a homeless animal or helping a senior citizen) or make a small donation to charity to activate this "God of Blessing".

2026 Grand Duke Talisman Charity Drive with Bazi tips

noreply@blogger.com (Ken Lai) — Mon, 22 Dec 2025 09:56:00 +0000

This is the KISS version of Grand Duke Charity Drive. It cuts all the fat and presents only essential materials. If you want to know more about the background of GD talisman, click the following link:

Ken's Cyber Cave: 1/1/24 - 2/1/24

DO YOU NEED A GRAND DUKE TALISMAN?

1. You need one if you have the following Chinese zodiac birth animal signs:

a. HORSE (years born: 1942, 1954, 1966, 1978, 1990, 2002, 2014)

-- "Fu-yin" or same animal sign as Grand Duke; obstacles, stagnation or running "reverse" instead of forward and not suitable for travels

-- Penalizes Grand Duke; big fluctuations in luck, wealth, career, relationship and health; traffic accident, sickness, surgery, losing competitions/wealth, moving, death, negative romance, quarrels and etc.

b. RAT (years born: 1948, 1960, 1972, 1984, 1996, 2008, 2020)

-- Clashing Grand Duke; very serious; big fluctuations in luck, accident, sickness, surgery, losing competitions/wealth, moving, death, changing job

c. OX (years born: 1937, 1949, 1961, 1973, 1985, 1997, 2009, 2021)

-- "Hai" or harms Grand Duke; could be serious for the person's relatives; interpersonal relationship problems, negative romance, marital problem, backstabbing , sudden death or disaster

d. RABBIT (years born: 1939, 1951, 1963, 1975, 1987, 1999, 2011, 2023)

-- "Po" or breaks Grand Duke: backstabbing at work, over-consumption, no luck in non-regular income like gambling/ stock and success slips away in the last minute

2. If ANY pillar of your Bazi natal chart has a "Zi" or rat: Click the following link and enter your birthday and birth hour in the "birth chart" windows, to generate you Bazi natal chart. Then check if there is any Zi or rat in the chart. You only need to check the left side Birth Chart. For example, this Dec. 29, 1948, 1:40 chart:

From right to left: Year, Month, Day, Hour

-- This person is in big trouble this year with 3 zi or rat branches because Grand Duke clashes 3 of the 4 pillars and penalize the Chou hour pillar. This could be major misfortunes or even death.

MEANING OF GRAND DUKE CLASHING EACH PILLAR:

Year pillar: you or your senior relative may have obstacles or misfortune
Month pillar: your parents or siblings may have misfortune
Day pillar: you or your spouse may have misfortune, divorce or even death
Hour pillar: your children or younger relative may be in trouble

You are strongly recommended to get a GD talisman if you have a rat in any pillar in your natal chart, especially the day pillar (Jia-zi, Bing-zi, Wu-zi, Geng-zi and Ren-zi). A MUST if you have Ren-zi or Geng-zi day pillar because both you and your spouse are in danger.

In addition, 2026 Bing-wu year is the strongest fire year. Even charts that like fire may have problem with it. Strong fire can destroy anything including water. It is associated with serious illness like tumor and cancer. Do medical check up if your chart already has too much fire and/ or chou, wei and xu earth.

HOW TO GET THIS GD TAILISMAN? This year we use digital delivery of Grand Duke Talismans. Ken Lai will create a GD Talisman, blessed and "activated" with your name on screen digitally in front of a Dou-Mou altar. Dou-Mou is the mother of 60 Grand Dukes.

Can "monetary losses" neutralize disasters? 破财消灾

noreply@blogger.com (Ken Lai) — Tue, 09 Dec 2025 11:09:00 +0000

After suffering monetary loss for whatever reason, some Chinese would self-comfort themselves by saying "losing money to neutralize disasters (破財消灾) ". Some may say "Normalcy is restored when money is gone 財散人安樂".

Could losing wealth really fend off disasters or is this simply a "method of spiritual victory" (aka "Spirit of Ah Q" in Chinese language)? Is there any theory to support this claim?

Actually, in terms of Bazi's 5-elements Nurturing and Controlling theory using 10-transformation stars ("10-gods"), "losing money to neutralize disasters" is valid under the scenarios listed below.

However, one needs to understand the nurturing and controlling relationship between the 10-transformation stars to grasp the logic discussed below.

The following diagram summarizes this nurturing and controlling relationship:

Examples: Output star nurtures (blue arrow) wealth star and controls (black arrow) power star. Wealth star nurtures power star and controls resource star.

I. DAYMASTER (DM) USES SHI-SHEN AS PROTECTOR

"Daymaster" is the chart-owner. Power stars (zheng-guan/ qi-sha) control or attack DM. Hence power stars are the symbols for disasters and misfortune. In Bazi, -output star or shi-shen controls power stars. Ideally, -output star should have power stars under control to avoid disasters. But if strong wealth stars show up, it will turn the whole chart upside down. This is because output stars nurtures wealth stars and the latter in turn nurture power stars, making disasters (power stars) even stronger. The -output protector becomes collaborator of the power star attacker! Wealth stars become the mediator between -output and power stars and form an alliance to drain and control DM. This means major disaster!

From the above analysis, disasters are attributed to strong wealth stars. If there are no strong wealth stars, disasters and misfortunes may not exist. Wealth stars are represented by our cash and money reserves. Hence, if DM can create "losing money" events (charity donation, buy real estate/ expensive items...) to weaken his/her strong wealth stars to the point that wealth stars are not able to perform the mediating function, disasters are neutralized or at the least, minimized.

II. DAYMASTER USES ZHENG-YIN/ PIAN-YIN AS PROTECTOR

Resource stars (zheng-yin/ pian-yin) nurtures DM. Power star will attack DM if no mediator stands in-between them. Resource stars protect DM from power stars by draining or as mediator between DM and power stars because power stars nurture resource stars. Hence, resource stars play the role of mediator by turning power stars into collaborator to boost the strength of DM.

Wealth stars nurture power stars and control resource stars. Hence when strong wealth stars show up in the system, they control and stop resource stars performing the mediator and protector functions. Wealth stars further nurture and strengthen power stars to make the potential disasters more aggravating.

From the above analysis, disasters are attributed to strong wealth stars. If there is no strong wealth stars, disasters and misfortunes may be weak or not exist. Hence, if DM weaken his/her strong wealth stars by "losing money" (buying real estate/ shopping spree, charity donation, and etc.) to the point that these stars are no longer able to control or prevent resource star from performing the mediator and protector functions, disasters are averted or neutralized.

III. DAYMASTER USES BI-JIAN/ JIE-CAI AS PROTECTOR

Peer stars (bi-jian/ jie-cai) strengthen DM. Power stars controls peer stars. The act of controlling peer stars drains power star. If peer stars are as strong as power stars, the latter will be "tied up" and cannot attack DM.

Peer stars controls wealth stars. Wealth stars nurture power stars. When strong wealth stars show up in the system, peer stars will be drained for attacking wealth stars. Furthermore, wealth star will nurture power stars. Consequently, power stars become more powerful whereas peer stars are weaker than before. Peer stars become too weak to counter these power stars. DM will lose the protection from peer stars and suffer the control or attack of the power stars.

Similar to the analyses of section I and II, all the problems are attributed to the appearance of wealth star. The same "losing wealth" remedy should be used to eliminate or weaken wealth stars.

The difference between I and II situation is: In the -output star scenario, wealth stars turn -output star into mediator to attack DM. In the resource star scenario, wealth stars stop resource star from being a mediator and protector. In the peer stars scenario, wealth stars weaken the peer star protector and enhance the power star aggressor.

The best way of "losing wealth" is through charity donations because one can feel good and perhaps getting some karma credits for future good luck.

Annual Luck Pillar Secrets 流年斷事秘訣

noreply@blogger.com (Ken Lai) — Fri, 15 Aug 2025 10:04:00 +0000

In Bazi, "annual luck" means the prevailing dominant energies of current year. For example, 2025 is Yi-si or wooden-snake year, the dominant energies are wood and fire. Every person in the world is under the influence of this wood and fire energy in 2025.

However, these annual energies have different effects on the ten possible daymasters (DM). For examples, wood energy is a power element to an earth DM, wealth element to a metal DM, resource element to a fire DM and output element to a water DM and peer element to a wood DM.

Hence, to unlock the predictions about a new annual luck pillar for a person, the first step is to translate the pillar element (e.g., wood, fire, etc.) into transformation stars or "10-gods".

The transformation star in the annual luck stem level indicates what will happen that is visible by the public. It does not indicate positivity or negativity. The branch level transformation star will reflect the auspiciousness or inauspiciousness of the likely event.

Generally speaking, if the annual luck branch is the favorable element ("useful element") of the chart, this year will be good for the person. If unfavorable, this year will be below average.

Annual luck focus is on the stem whereas 10-years-luck is on the branch for making predictions. Annual luck is more critical because it is the "final mile" of luck delivery mechanism. It is also seen as the "trigger" of the event, whether good or bad.

PREDICTIONS BASED ON ANNUAL LUCK STEM

1. When annual luck stem is peer star (bi-jian/ jie-cai) and is favorable, DM will get help from peers, coworkers, friends and sibling. If unfavorable, DM will get lawsuit, lose wealth and bickering due to the same people above. Also DM may jinx wife and/or father.

2. When annual luck stem is resource star (zheng-yin/ pian-yin), DM will encounter events represented by resource star, such as study, work, reputation, documents/ contracts, housing, sickness, wealth luck and etc.

3. When annual luck stem is wealth star (zheng-cai/ pian-cai), DM will see events represented by wealth star, such as money/ finance, wife, father, health (sickness/ injury), work, marital/ relationship problems.

4. When annual luck stem is power star (zheng-guan/ qi-sha), DM will run into events represented by power star, such as superior/ boss, work, father, husband, career, reputation, legal matters, sickness, injury and etc.

5. When annual luck stem is output star (shang-guan/ shi-shen), DM will handle events represented by output star, such as displaying of talents like dancing, performance, art exhibition, giving speeches, publishing; children, employees, investment, planning, illness/ injury, legal problems, sickness, injury and etc.

For more accurate predictions, the annual pillar should be read with the 10-year-luck pillar and natal chart together.

Predicting marital blessing using day pillar 日柱看婚姻

noreply@blogger.com (Ken Lai) — Wed, 06 Aug 2025 10:46:00 +0000

In a Bazi chart, the day pillar represents the daymaster (DM) or chart owner and his/ her spouse palace. Hence, it is possible to get a quick prediction of marital blessing by simply checking the day pillar.

To find your day pillar, log into www.bazi-calculator.com, key in your birthday, check the output "Birth chart", the second column from the left is your day pillar.

DAY PILLAR COMPOSITION AND MARITAL BLESSING

1. Day branch or spouse palace is occupied by a wealth star (zheng-cai/ pian-cai): Yi-chou, yi-wei, bing-shen, ding-you, wu-zi, ji-hai, geng-yin and ren-wu. Wealth star stands for wife for a male DM. It implies a good marriage when a wealth star sits in the spouse palace. This is called "matching star and palace 宫星同位". If wealth star is favorable, DM will get wife's wealth in addition to a happy marriage. If DM is a female, the marriage is still above average because wealth star can nurture power star (husband).

2. Day branch or spouse palace is occupied by a power star (zheng-guan/ qi-sha): Jia-shen, yi-you, ding-hai, ji-mao, geng-wu, xin-si, gui-chou, and gui-wei. Power star stands for husband for a female DM. It implies a good marriage when a power star sits in the spouse palace. If power star is favorable, DM will enjoy good status/ reputation and relationship due to husband. This is called "matching star and palace 宫星同位". If DM is a male, wife may boss him around because power star controls DM.

3. Day branch or spouse palace is occupied by a resource star (zheng-yin/ pian-yin) means DM is nurtured by the spouse palace: Jia-zi, yi-hai, bing-yin, ding-mao, wu-wu, ji-si, geng-chen, geng-xu, xin-chou, xin-wei, ren-shen and gui-you. Resource star stands for mother/ elder for both male and female DM. DM sits on a resource star implies DM's wife or husband will take care of him/ her like a mother. It is even better if resource star is favorable.

4. Day branch or spouse palace is occupied by an output star (shang-guan/ shi-shen) means DM nurtures the spouse palace: Jia-wu, yi-hai, yi-si, bing-chen, bing-xu, ji-you, geng-zi, xin-hai, ren-yin, gui-mao and wu-shen. Different outcomes for male and female DM with output star in spouse palace:

Male DM: Though wealth or wife star does not sit in spouse palace, but output star will nurture wealth star. If DM is strong and wealth is favorable, DM will have good relationship/ marriage with wife. If weak and unfavorable, DM will have poor marital relationship.
Female DM: Power or husband star does not sit in spouse palace. Instead, output star, the arch-enemy of husband star, sits there to confront husband. This likely causes marital setbacks.

5. Day branch or spouse palace is occupied by a peer star (jie-cai/ bi-jian) means DM shares the same element with the the spouse palace: Jia-yin, yi-hai, yi-mao, bing-wu, ding-si, wu-xu, wu-chen, ji-wei, ji-si, geng-shen, xin-you, ren-zi and gui-hai. Peer star controls and "plunders" wealth star and sits in spouse palace, for male DM, this means marital disharmony and wife may be "snatched" by another man. For female DM, peer star steals wealth which is meant for nurturing husband star. In addition, peer star may combine or steal power star (husband). All this signifies marital disharmony.

I ate 12 Rainbows today!

noreply@blogger.com (Ken Lai) — Fri, 11 Jul 2025 06:10:00 +0000

It has been sizzling hot here for the past week or so. I got stuck with my pet whale indoor. I'm bored.

I showed Grandpa Ken my sad puppy look. This always works wonder.

"Let's visit the water dragon in our yard." Grandpa told me.

"Water! Water! Thank you Grandpa!"

"Open your mouth when you are happy!"

Suddenly, I saw a rainbow.

The rainbow looked tasty, so I ate it.

"Yummy!" I've eaten 12 rainbows!

"Oops! What's happening to me?"

I was showered by a golden light.

I was transformed into a water-dragon dog!

Do you have any "hidden benefactor"? 暗祿

noreply@blogger.com (Ken Lai) — Sat, 21 Jun 2025 05:57:00 +0000

Sometimes, we have seen people in very difficult situations, such as life and death or financial crisis. Suddenly, out of nowhere someone shows up to get them out of their predicament whether they know this person or not.

In Bazi, we call these helpers "hidden Lu" star or hidden benefactors. The literal meaning of "Lu" means official salary. The generalized meanings are blessing, wealth and status. This star also means unexpected help and wealth from someone that the person is not familiar with.

To check if you have this hidden benefactor star in your chart, go to bazi-calculator.com and key in your birthday to calculate your birth chart. Find out your daymaster (DM, in the first row of day column, the "HS" row). Read the table in the left side. Then check the second "EB" row for the following "Hidden Lu" element. Please check example below.

DAYMASTER AND HIDDEN BENEFACTOR STAR TABLE

For example, someone born in June 19, 2025 @19:10 has the following Bazi chart. This is a Ji-earth daymaster. You check the table above for Ji-earth and found the Hidden Lu star is Wei (ram). This Bazi chart has a Wei in the day-pillar. So this person has a Hidden Benefactor star.

People with the Hidden Benefactor star are likely to have "white knight" or helper showing up when they are in extreme difficulty or crisis. Unlike other nobleman stars, helpers offer this help or resource expect no return. So they are also called "noblemen".

The setbacks and misfortunes suffered by people with Hidden Benefactor star in their early life tend to be of short durations. They will likely enjoy life and blessing, especially during old age.

Hidden Benefactor star is strongest if located in month pillar, followed by day pillar. If someone has two or more of this stars in his chart, he gets help throughout his life. If both year and month pillar have the presence of this star, DM (chart owner) is likely the heir or second generation of the rich or powerful (officials).

How to get this star if you do not find it in your birth chart? This will be disclosed in my "Luck Enhancement Bazi" and "Wealth Secrets and Maximization" online discussion groups.

Predicting your years with better romance or marriage luck 八字看情人姻缘

noreply@blogger.com (Ken Lai) — Wed, 11 Jun 2025 01:41:00 +0000

How do you find out which year that you may have better romance or marriage luck?

You can find the clues in your Bazi birth chart. If you do not know your own "daymaster" element, please go to www.bazi-calculator.com, key in your birthday and find your "daymaster" in the top row of the day column.

In Bazi, annual luck (means current year) shows the possible events that might happen to a person. The year stem reflects what can be seen by the public. Hence if the year stem is the element representing wealth star (zheng-cai/ pian-cai, wife/ lover for male) or power star (zheng-guan/ qi-sha, husband/ lover for female), it means the likelihood of lover or marriage partner showing up in that year.

You don't need to know what is "year stem" as long as you can read the last digit of each year like the "5" in 2025-- simply read the tables below to find your years of better love luck.

The tables below summarize the exact year that lover or marriage partner is more likely to show up. For example, a Jia-wood male daymaster (person), will likely run into romance (if single) or affair (if married) when a year with last digit 0 (Geng-metal year, e.g., 2030). The same person may get married in a Xin-metal year (e.g., 2031) if he is single. Similar logic is applied for female daymasters too.

YEARS WITH BETTER LOVER AND MARRIAGE LUCK TABLE

SUPER BONUS: This is another BOGO article. You may use the year reference of these tables to keep an eye on your spouse or lover during his or her "love luck" years, followed by wife or husband luck years. For example, if your girl friend or wife is a Geng-metal person, you pay extra attention to her activities during Bing-fire (e.g. 2026) and Ding-fire years (2027). Bing-fire year is more "dangerous". If your boy friend or husband is a Geng-person, it would be years with the last digit 4 or 5.

In search of your wealth god

noreply@blogger.com (Ken Lai) — Mon, 02 Jun 2025 08:21:00 +0000

In general, if wealth star is your favorable element in your birth chart, your "wealth gods" are people represented by these wealth stars. They will help or bring wealth luck and fortune to you. Even better if wealth star combines with daymaster (DM, chart owner).

But if wealth star is weak and clashed or damaged, it means your wealth luck is damaged or obstructed.

The info below shows you how to deduce who is your "wealth god" from your Bazi birth chart.

WHO BRINGS YOU WEALTH LUCK

1. Wealth star is favorable and sitting on year pillar, senior generation brings you wealth. This also means DM was born in a relatively well-off family.

Wealth star sits on year stem represents grandfather or DM's father generation is rich. The stronger the wealth star, the richer is this generation. If year stem combines with day stem with no clash, DM will get the wealth of senior generation.
Wealth star sits on year branch represents grandmother or DM's mother generation is rich. The stronger the wealth star, the richer is this generation. If year branch combines with day branch with no clash, harm or penalty, DM will get the wealth of senior generation.

2. Wealth star is favorable and sitting on month pillar, parental generation or siblings bring you wealth. This also means DM's parents are rich and helpful to DM.

Month pillar also stands for "sibling palace". When wealth star sits on month pillar and is favorable, it could mean DM's siblings or peers are rich and are helpful to DM for wealth attainment.

3. Wealth star is favorable and sitting on day branch, spouse will bring DM wealth. Day branch is the "spouse palace". If DM sits on a favorable wealth star with no clash or penalty, DM could marry a rich spouse or spouse will bring DM good wealth luck.

It would be better DM sits on +wealth star (zheng-cai). There is possibilities of competition in terms of affair or mistress/lover if DM sits on -wealth (pian-cai).

4. Wealth star is favorable and sitting on hour pillar, sons and daughters will bring DM wealth. Hour pillar is the "children palace". If DM sits on a favorable wealth star with no clash or penalty, it means DM's children are rich, capable and helpful to DM.

Hour pillar also represents DM's old age period. Favorable wealth star also means DM is well-off during his/her later years or is rich due to children's contributions.

5. When wealth star is favorable or unfavorable. The stars which nurture or protect wealth star are also "wealth enhancers" for DM when wealth star is favorable. Output stars (shi-shen/ shang-guan) nurture wealth stars. Power stars (zheng-guan/ qi-sha) protect wealth star. People represented by these stars also help bringing wealth to DM though the effects are not as strong as wealth stars.

When wealth stars are favorable, DM is likely a strong DM. But for weak DM, wealth stars are likely unfavorable. Who will bring wealth to weak DM then? The answer will be posted in my "Visual Bazi: Wealth Secrets and Maximization" discussion group. However, you could easily figure out the answer by reading the previous paragraph.

Your husband may not tell you how relevant or important of your presence to him. But you can find out this innate feeling by checking his birth chart with Bazi astrology.

In Bazi, wealth stars (zheng-cai/ pian-cai) represent wife, mistress and girl friends for male. Naturally, these are the critical info to examine in your husband's chart. There are 3 major aspects to check:

Is there any +wealth star (zheng-cai) in the natal chart?
The strength (how strong or weak) of the wealth star.
The distance between the day stem (daymaster, DM) and wealth star.

WIFE RELEVANCE RATING BASED ON HUSBAND BIRTH CHART

1. DM sits on +wealth star (zheng-cai); +wealth is strong ; only +wealth star/s are present in the chart: "DM" is the daymaster or owner of the chart. This means wife star sits on the day branch or spouse palace. Wife has the highest relevance from the perspective of husband with these combinations. He pays close attention to wife, loves her dearly and tries to fulfill any request that wife asks.

2. DM sits on -wealth star (pian-cai); -wealth is strong ; only -wealth star/s are present in the chart: This means wife star sits on the day branch or spouse palace. Wife still has the high relevance from the perspective of husband with these combinations. But -wealth is same gender to DM and not yin-yang balanced. So some minor confrontations or verbal fights occur occasionally.

3. Both + and -wealth stars (zheng-cai/ pian-cai) show up in the chart; +wealth is strong and close to DM ; -wealth star is weak and far away from DM: Wife still has significant relevance from the perspective of husband with these combinations. In reality, husband is prone to affairs, but he is concerned with wife's feeling and will keep his affairs hidden. In short, despite his infidelity, he loves wife more than the mistress.

4. Both + and -wealth stars (zheng-cai/ pian-cai) show up in the chart; -wealth is strong and close to DM ; +wealth star is weak and far away from DM: Wife has low relevance from the perspective of husband with these combinations. In short, he loves mistress more than the wife.

5. Chart has no wealth star: Wife has insignificant relevance from the perspective of husband. He may not care about the feeling and needs of his wife at all.

There are some simple methods to improve this "wife relevance" in my "Luck Enhancement and Misfortune Mitigation with Bazi and Feng Shui" discussion group.

This is a BOGO (buy one get one free) and tariff free article. To get your free article on "husband relevance", simple substitute "husband chart" to "wife chart" and "+/- wealth stars" to "+/- power star" in this article.

Bazi: Family Member Jinxing Bible 克六亲八字

noreply@blogger.com (Ken Lai) — Thu, 24 Apr 2025 07:30:00 +0000

This is another straight talk to find out if one jinxes his/ her family member-- father, mother, sibling, wife or children. "Jinxing" here means a person's qi or energy is antagonistic or does not get along with the energy of a certain family member.

BAZI CHARACTERISTICS OF FAMILY MEMBER JINXING

1. Jinxing father 克父: Regardless of gender, chart with strong daymaster (DM) due to strong peer stars (bi-jian, jie-cai), especially when -wealth star (pian-cai, father) is being penalized or clashed or controlled without any nurturing-- DM jinxes father.

2. Jinxing mother 克母: Regardless of gender, chart with strong wealth stars (zheng-cai, pian-cai), especially when +resource star ( zheng-yin, mother, use pian-yin if no zheng-yin available) is being penalized or clashed or controlled without any nurturing-- DM jinxes mother.

3. Jinxing wife 克妻: Male chart with strong peer stars (bi-jian, jie-cai), especially when +wealth star (zheng-cai, wife) is being penalized or clashed or controlled without any nurturing-- DM jinxes wife.

4. Jinxing husband 克夫: Female chart with strong output stars (shi-shen, shang-guan), especially when +power star (zheng-guan, husband; use qi-sha if no zheng-guan available) is being penalized or clashed or controlled without any nurturing-- DM jinxes husband.

5. Male jinxing offspring 男克子女: Male chart with strong output stars (shi-shen, shang-guan), especially when +power star (zheng-guan, children for male DM; use qi-sha if no zheng-guan available) is being penalized or clashed or controlled without any nurturing-- DM jinxes his children.

6. Female jinxing offspring 女克子女: Female chart with strong resource stars (zheng-yin, pian-yin), especially when -output star ( shi-shen, children for female DM; use shang-guan if no shi-shen available) is being penalized or clashed or controlled without any nurturing-- DM jinxes her children.

7. Jinxing sibling 克手足: Regardless of gender, chart with strong +power stars (zheng-guan, qi-sha), especially when peer star (bi-jian, jie-cai) is being penalized or clashed or controlled without any nurturing-- DM jinxes his/ her sibling.

This "jinxing" may be manifested in poor communication/ relationship, low luck, chronic illness and even death to that family member if the jinx is serious.

How to check spouse quality from Bazi birth chart 八字看配偶吉凶

noreply@blogger.com (Ken Lai) — Fri, 28 Mar 2025 10:56:00 +0000

Below is a no BS and straight-talk list of how to check the marital quality of one's spouse:

1. Month pillar of a female chart has stem shang-guan (+output) and branch qi-sha (-power)-- She will marry multiple times.

2. Female daymaster sits on shang-guan (+output), regardless of its favorability ("yong-shen"), She likely has marital problems and/or jinxing husband.

3. Male daymaster sits on peer star (bi-jian/ jie-cai)-- He has marital problems.

4. Female with Jia-yin or Wu-shen day pillar-- Her husband may die of unexpected disaster.

5. Male daymaster sits on pian-cai (-wealth) is amorous. He loves mistress more than wife.

6. Male daymaster sits resource star (zheng-yin/ pian-yin) hindering wife. Wife does not get along with his mother.

7. Female chart with both zheng-guan and qi-sha (power stars) in stem level-- This is called "guan-sha mixing up". She will have marital disharmony, likely marry twice or has lover.

8. Male chart with both zheng-cai and pian-cai (wealth stars) in stem level-- he will have marital disharmony, likely marry twice or has mistress.

9. Female chart has strong shang-guan (+output) stars but no wealth star-- She jinxes her husband or marry again.

10. When day branch (spouse palace) is clashed-- This implies marital disharmony and separation is likely.

11. When day branch (spouse palace) is combined-- This implies spouse has affair.

12. When a male chart day branch has a wealth star (zheng-cai/ piain-cai), regardless the strength of this daymaster, gets a good/ helpful wife. This is called "wife palace stationed by a wife 妻宫妻守"

13. When a female chart day branch has a wealth star (zheng-cai/ piain-cai) and is favorable ("yong-shen"), gets a helpful and capable husband.

Feng Shui Battle: Flying Scissors Vs. Big Cannon 大炮對飛剪

noreply@blogger.com (Ken Lai) — Mon, 10 Mar 2025 10:24:00 +0000

A house owner in China had found his neighbor putting up a pair of sharp scissors and mirror facing his front door. He had responded with a big cannon pointing at the neighbor.

From the pictures, we can guess how this Feng Shui battle is activated.

The "cannon house" has a big 6 panels RED door with 2 lions guarding. In terms of Form Feng Shui, this red door looks like a giant bloody mouth engulfing anything in its path to this neighbor. This might, at the least, subconsciously affects the hormonal health of the neighbor.

Red color is regarded as auspicious in Chinese culture. However, putting too much or excessive red color in the main door of a house could draw misfortune to its residents.

Red also represents fire and blood. Misfortunes like sickness, fire and bloody events when annual star like 2-sickness, 5-disaster or 9-purple fire lands on the door region.

Could the flying scissors with mirror overcome this strong fire energy? Of course not. Fire burns the metal scissors. The mirror is flat which draws the fire image (and energy) TO the "scissor house". Hence the "cannon house" does not really need the cannon to counter this flying scissors. But it helps to drain excessive fire energy by "burning" the metal cannon.

My "Advanced Visual Form Feng Shui" course has a chapter on Feng Shui battle. It can help you to handle Feng Shui battle like this one using inexpensive and low profile everyday items. In this case, we can help the "scissors house" to turn the hostile fire energy into supporting energy without using hostile or noticeable remedies (3 possible fixes are posted in the "Advanced Visual Form Feng Shui Discussion Group").

Client-based calculation of favorable elements ("Useful Gods") 八字喜用神经验查法

noreply@blogger.com (Ken Lai) — Mon, 17 Feb 2025 09:37:00 +0000

This method of calculating favorable elements is based on client's real life experience. The Bazi reader asks his client's subjective rating of his/ her experience for at least five years (the more years the better) based on the following questions:

1. Do you have better luck in the first half OR second half of year xxxx? (repeat this question for 5+ years). Note: "Year" here refers to solar year. First half is from February to July; second half is from August to January.

2. Do you have better luck in AM (noon / morning) OR PM (afternoon/ evening)?

FAVORABLE ELEMENTS

Better luck in first half of the year-- favorable elements are likely wood and/ or fire
Better luck in second half of the year-- favorable elements are likely metal and/ or water
Better luck during AM of the day-- favorable elements are likely wood and/ or fire
Better luck during PM of the day-- favorable elements are likely metal and/ or water

You need to compare the favorable elements found with this method to the ones based on Bazi theory calculation to see if they match. If the results do not match, you check if the years under consideration spread across two 10-years luck periods (10YL). It is also possible that favorable elements of this chart change from one 10YL to another.

In general, client's subjective rating is a more accurate reflection of reality than the result from Bazi theory. This is because theory cannot take into account of the social and physical environments (Feng Shui) of the client into consideration. The energies from these environment can affect the balance of a Bazi chart.

Annual luck reading secrets 八字流年秘訣

noreply@blogger.com (Ken Lai) — Thu, 19 Dec 2024 10:41:00 +0000

How do you interpret the combinations between a Bazi chart and annual luck period? The following pointers should help you to do Bazi annual luck readings. This article assumes you have basic Bazi knowledge and will not explain the why and how.

While 10-years-luck put emphasis on the branches, annual luck reading focuses on the stems. It reflects the event types of the interactions between each pillar stem for the year.

1. Annual luck combines with the daymaster (DM, chart owner) 流年合日主: For example, Geng-metal DM combines with the annual luck Yi-wood of 2025. DM does not feel good emotionally, face obstacles and make wrong decisions. DM should be conservative and avoid new venture or take risk for the year.

2. Annual luck combines with the +wealth star (zheng-cai) of natal chart 流年合正财: For example, Geng-metal DM's +wealth star is Yi-wood, combines with the annual luck Geng-metal of 2030-- DM may suffer major wealth losses. If Yi-wood is in year pillar, DM may suffer total loss of ancestral wealth. DM's wife may have chronic illness. Single male is prone to romance failure, married male's wife may have affairs or high chance of getting divorced. Older male may become widower.

3. Annual luck combines with the -wealth star (pian-cai) of natal chart 流年合偏财: For example, Geng-metal DM's -wealth star is Jia-wood, combines with the annual luck Ji-earth of 2029-- DM's father suffers illness or DM faces major wealth losses. Young male DM may get caught with affair or losing money due to lust or sexual traps. Older DM should wary of his/ her father's health condition. He may not survive.

4. Annual luck combines with the +power star (zheng-guan) of natal chart 流年合正官: For example, Geng-metal DM's +power star is Ding-fire, combines with the annual luck Ren-water of 2032-- Male DM may suffer legal problems, single woman is prone to romance setback, married woman's husband may have affairs or high chance of getting divorced. Older woman may become widow.

5. Annual luck combines with the -power star (Qi-sha) of natal chart 流年合七杀: For example, Geng-metal DM's -power star is Bing-fire, combines with the annual luck Xin-metal of 2031-- is favorable for weak but not strong DM. Female DM with only -power and no +power star, should beware of marital problems.

6. Annual luck combines with the +resource star (zheng-yin) of natal chart 流年合正印: For example, Geng-metal DM's +resource star is Ji-earth, combines with the annual Jia-wood of 2024 -- DM should pay attention to the health of his/ her mother, including the in-law. Weak DM may have problem getting helpful mentors/ noblemen.

7. Annual luck combines with the -resource star (pian-yin) of natal chart 流年合偏印: For example, Geng-metal DM's -resource star is Wu-earth, combines with the annual Gui-water of 2033 -- DM should keep his/her idiosyncrasies or temperaments private. Weak DM is unable to get helpful mentors/ noblemen.

8. Annual luck combines with the + or -peer star (bi-jian/ jie-cai) of natal chart 流年合比劫: For example, Geng-metal DM's +/- peer star are Geng- and Xin-metal combines with the annual Yi-wood of 2025 or Bing-fire of 2026-- DM should stay away from peers/ friends to block his/ her money leaking/losing channels.

9. Annual luck combines with the +output star (shang-guan) of natal chart 流年合伤官: For example, Geng-metal DM's +output star is Gui-water combines with the annual Wu-earth of 2028 -- single female DM will not be picky as before in mate-selection. Married couple would temporary stop bickering to fix marital relationship.

When there is no interaction between annual luck and the natal chart, DM will act out the characteristics of that annual luck. However, there are 3 scenarios meriting serious attention:

1. +Output star meeting +power star 伤官见官为祸百端: "Numerous disasters created when Shang-guan meets Zheng-guan". These disasters include predictable legal, wealth-losing, life-threatening and health problems.

2. -Resource star meeting -output star 枭印夺食: These disasters include unpredictable legal, wealth-losing, life-threatening and health problems.

3. Weak DM running into -power luck: DM suffers bloody event, lawsuits, backstabbing, losing wealth, divorce, accident and the likes.

The topic on how to interpret annual luck clashing the natal chart could be a possible future topic.

This is a basic "generic" annual reading outline of all 10 possible DMs without explanations. You could use the same basic format to read other years too. You or your Bazi reader would add the explanations, remedies and enhancements for the client (detail of the reading depends on how much is charged). A more accurate reading should also integrate your client's current 10-year-luck and natal chart into the analysis.

Please be aware that when adding annual luck and 10YL to the natal chart for analysis, there are possibilities that the favorable/ unfavorable elements may change for the year! For example, if fire is the favorable element in the natal chart, by change both annual luck and 10YL bring in 4 fire elements into the system, fire may become unfavorable!

Marriage timing: Early or Late? 看早婚晚婚

noreply@blogger.com (Ken Lai) — Sat, 12 Oct 2024 07:26:00 +0000

In the marital context of Bazi, wealth stars represent wife or mistress for male; power stars stand for husband or lover for female.

The enemy of wealth star is peer star because peer star "snatches" or steals wealth star in Bazi.

The enemy of power star is output star because output star "hurts" power star.

The above brief introduction may help you to understand the marriage timing summary below.

"Early marriage" means getting married before the age of 25.

"Late marriage" refers to marriage after age 30.

If you do not understand my version of Bazi terminology, please read the following article:

Ken's Cyber Cave: 4P/ Bazi Terminology Conventions (kenlaifengshui.blogspot.com)

MARRIAGE TIMING: EARLY VS. LATE

1. Natal chart stem level has "jealous combination", chart owner (daymaster or DM) likely has early marriage ("Jealous combination" is when two identical stems or branches combine with ONE stem or branch),

2. Natal chart has 3-meetings (San-Hui 三会) or 3-unities (San-He 三合), DM has early marriage tendency.

3. If the stem and branch of luck periods formed has 6-combinations 六合 or 3-unities with natal chart, DM will have higher probability of getting married during this 10-years-luck or annual luck period.

4. Strong male DM with strong wealth stars (Zheng-cai/ Pian-cai) but no peer stars (Bi-jian/ Jie-cai) in stem level, when running into wealth luck period (10YL or annual luck)-- marriage time.

5. Strong female DM with strong power stars but no output stars (Shi-shen/ Shang-guan) in stem level, when running into power luck period (Zheng-guan/ Qi-sha, 10YL or annual luck)-- marriage time.

6. Male DM with numerous peer stars but no wealth star (or wealth star is weak or imprisoned) and his first two 10-year-lucks are peer luck, he is prone to late marriage.

7. Female DM with numerous output stars but no power star (or power star is weak or imprisoned) and her first two 10-year-lucks are output luck, she is prone to late marriage.

8. Male DM has excessive strong wealth stars but is not qualify for "follow wealth" profile chart, is likely to marry late.

9. Female DM has excessive strong power stars but is not qualify for "follow power" profile chart, is likely to marry late.

All you can absorb vital energy-- FREE!

noreply@blogger.com (Ken Lai) — Thu, 03 Oct 2024 09:34:00 +0000

I have passed by my local supermarket Cub Food today. It has displayed many varieties of mums (chrysanthemum) at the entrance. The mums are blooming and emitting positive vital energy that could cheer anyone up on the spot.

I took out my old 2007 DSLR camera and shot the following photos. You can feel the vital energy by staring at these pictures and imagine these flowers are in front of you. Then absorb this energy to cheer yourself up.

These mum flowers look fantastic when enlarged on your computer screen.

May this vital energy stay with you!

"Rough destiny" or "Meng ying" 命硬

noreply@blogger.com (Ken Lai) — Thu, 03 Oct 2024 09:24:00 +0000

In traditional Chinese society, there is a saying of "meng ying 命硬". It literally means as "hard or rough destiny".

For examples, after someone has married, his or her spouse died unexpectedly soon after OR a new baby was born and his parents soon suffered major misfortune or even death. Consequently, this person or baby lives a miserable and lonely life. People may comment the person or baby involved as "meng ying". This implicitly accuses the person and baby "jinxing" their close relatives and themselves.

Another scenario would be: you may find some old people survive through wars, famines, severe illness/ injuries and misfortune, their family members are mostly dead, yet they still are alive but alone and may be even in destitute. Due to improvement of social welfare in modern societies, a modern version would be the same old people survive alone in institutions when all or most of their family members have died.

A more colloquial use of "meng ying" is to describe someone who escapes major disaster like being the the lone survivor of an airplane crash or battalion during wartime.

Strictly speaking, there is no such thing as "meng ying" in Bazi. The closest concept to "meng ying" is "strong daymaster with no support 身旺无依". This means a chart has a very strong daymaster (DM) with no wealth and power stars to drain it (but failing to become a special profile chart). This chart type usually associated with monk/nun/ Daoist or clergy people in traditional society and poor/ destitute people in modern society

CHARACTERISTICS OF "ROUGH DESTINY" CHART

1. The daymaster has relatively indomitable survival ability or "unsinkable"-- hard to die. S/he suffers frequent setbacks and misfortunes, but s/he usually can overcome or escape from death in catastrophes.

2. It implies "jinx", especially "loneliness jinx", jinxing self, parents and family members. DM is also likely a loner in nature. The "loneliness" here refers to the lacking of family relationship because DM's family members are either dead or separated.

There are two types of "rough destiny":

a. Solitary rough destiny (孤独命硬): This is the "strong daymaster with no support 身旺无依" type mentioned above. Summary meaning is: being poor and alone and likely with longevity.

b. Prosperous rough destiny (富贵命硬): This also has a strong DM chart but with good structure and/ or favorable luck periods. DM is alone eventually (jinxing family members) but s/he enjoys wealth and fame/ power with big ups and down in life. China's late Chairman Mao is an example of this type.

There are some methods to mitigate the negative effects of "rough destiny" Consult the course below for details:

Identify lazy people using only their birthday 懒人八字

noreply@blogger.com (Ken Lai) — Sun, 22 Sep 2024 08:40:00 +0000

Most people prefer not partner with or hiring lazy persons. This article discusses how to identify lazy people using only their date of birth with Chinese Bazi astrology. No probation or trial period needed.

BAZI CHART CHARACTERISTICS OF LAZY PERSONS

Chart with 3 or more resource stars (zheng-yin/ pian-yin): Resource stars represent senior generations, parental help, blessing and academic credentials. Chart with strong resource stars implies the chart owner ("daymaster", DM) is likely getting the blessing and support from his/ her seniors. S/he is prone to become dependent, lacking motivation to achieve more, conservative, traditional and physically weak. If annual luck comes another resource star, s/he is likely to be lazy and happy to keep "business as usual" and resistant to change.

Chart has NO wealth stars (zheng-cai/ pian-cai): In Bazi, wealth stars represent desires, abilities and persistence for goal attainment. People with no wealth star in their chart lacks motivation, willingness to work towards goals and look down on material gains and interests. This is like an engine without power and not moving much.

Chart with 3 or more -output stars (shi-shen): -Output star represents talent and enjoying life. People with strong -output stars in their chart thinks too much, fantasizes a lot but does little. They like enjoying life and good food. Many of them have big belly with a plump body. They are sloppy and careless at work and daily lives. This situation is especially worse if their chart has no wealth star. DM will fantasizes more and withdraw when running into difficulty.

The above situations are not absolute. We need to look at the whole natal chart to determine if this person is indeed a lazy one. For example, if a chart with excess resource stars but has at least one wealth star to control them, DM's laziness will be under control. Similar logic and interpretation for excess -output stars when resource star is presented in the chart.

Human laziness can be positive. People who are lazy but with a sense of responsibility would invent or create new methods or tools to make do things and tasks faster, so they can be "lazy" but still get the jobs done.

Exercise can help weight-loss, but one may lack the perseverance to do it.

There may be many miracle weight-loss drugs available to control our weight, but these drugs may have unknown side-effects.

Dieting helps weight-loss too, but we may succumb to the temptation of yummy food.

Can we find a method that avoids the above problems of persistence, drug side effects and food temptation?

Today is your lucky day or my bonehead day to release these weight-loss Feng Shui secrets. However, I shall not explain why and how it works. It is based on Chinese Feng Shui, Bazi and even Traditional Chinese Medicine theories. The why and how are posted in the online forum for my retirement fund contributors-- my students.

You may want to save this article before I remove it from this blog on Oct. 31, 2024.

FENG SHUI MEASURES FOR WEIGHT-CONTROL

1. Declutter the SW side of your home. You may put wooden furniture and/or bigger green plants there.

2. Put refrigerator, clock and metal utensils/ decorations in NE side of your home.

3. Put your bedroom in the west side of your house. If not possible, put your bed in the west side of your bedroom.

4. Avoid putting the kitchen and red color stuff in SW or NE sector of your house.

5. Open the windows in the east side of your house (or your bedroom) to draw in eastern energy.

6. For food shopping, go to the shops located in the east and west side/ direction relative to your house.

7. For eating out, avoid noon lunch and go for evening dinner instead.

If you are into Chinese metaphysics, you should be able to figure out the rationale behind the above pointers.
