Bursa Malaysia

In conjunction with my plan to categorizing each of the listed companies into one of the 60 Jia Zi, I have posted some information of the history our stock exchange, Bursa Malaysia, here.

History of Bursa Malaysia

The history of Malaysia Stock Exchange dates back to 1930 when the first formal securities organization, Singapore Stockbrokers' Association was established. Subsequently, it was re-registered as Malayan Stockbrokers' Association in 1937 but no public shares have been traded then. Public trading of shares commenced when the Malayan Stock Exchange was established in 9 May 1960.

The Stock Exchange of Malaysia (SEMS) was officially formed in 1964. In 1973, the SEMS was separated into The Kuala Lumpur Stock Exchange Bhd (KLSE) and The Stock Exchange of Singapore. KLSE was incorporated on 14 December 1976 as a company limited by guarantee and took over the operations of the Kuala Lumpur Stock Exchange Bhd.

On 14 April 2004, KLSE changed the name to Bursa Malaysia Bhd with the aimed at improving the product and service offerings, increasing the liquidity and velocity of the markets, improving efficiency of businesses and achieving economies of scale in operations.

On 18 March 2005, Bursa Malaysia was listed on the Main Board as Bursa Malaysia Securities Bhd.

The exchange received certifications for conformance to the ISO 9001:2000 Quality Management System and ISO 14001:2004 Environmental Management System standards on 5 October 2007.

Definition

A Stock Exchange is a mutual organization which provides the facilities or platforms for shares and other securities to be bought or sold by the investors and traders alike. Besides the trading facility, the other exchange-related services are clearing, settlement and depository services. Most of the Stock Exchange nowadays also offers research and information services for its own market.

Any industry which relates to the finance is categorised as the metal element. The metal element consists of two polarities that are Geng and Xin. For matter that I can't explain which is based more on personal feeling (if the idea flash across my mind I will post it into the comment column), I have eliminated the Geng Metal from being the Jia Zi of the stock exchange.

I have considered few of the Xins like Xin Chou, Xin Wei and Xin Si as the Jia Zi for the Stock Exchange. At last I have chosen Xin Chou due to the reasons:

1. Xin is one of the metal elements which represent the financial industry. It also an element that everyone has a perceive value on it.
   
2. The mentioned of a facilities and platform for shares to be traded very much refer to the earth element which is in the Chou, Si and Wei.
   
3. The stock exchange besides its subsidiary also comprises the member of the stock brokers and the listed companies. This is where the companion star, Friend and Rob Wealth Stars, converge. Hence, Wei is eliminated.
   
4. Further looking at the functions of stock exchange like the depository, research and information services which are represented the graveyard that plays storage role as well as the Indirect Resource Star which provides information.
   
5. The minor Gui is the Wealth of the Ji result of the output of Xin. The stock exchange does have huge cash reserves from the contribution of its services as well as the fees paid by companies for listing in the exchanged.
   

It is a common misunderstanding between the stock exchange i.e. Bursa and the overall Malaysian's stock market. We refer to Malaysian's stock market, we consider the condition of the trading market whether it is bullish or bearish. As such the stock market Jia Zi is Xin Si. The Bing in the Si represents the public market where thousands of different companies trade their shares. It is like the many living creatures and objects under the Sun which rise and set with the cycle of day and night. The market also comes with the cycle of up and down. The Xin Si is also a hidden combo of water which explained the volatile natures of the stock market.

When you put the Chou and Si together, it push-out the You. With the Three Hormony Combination, you have one great network of the Rob Wealth and Friend Stars converging in the stock market industry.

The Pen Is Mightier Than The Sword

Recently, I came across this phrase in an article I read. It says, "The Pen Is Mightier Than The Sword". It means that the written words are more powerful and effective than says err… stabbing someone.

It is a nice phrase and should be embraced by those in power to run a country as well as those who are in the newspaper industry.

When it comes to governance of human beings, our thoughts, our thinking, our words and our communication far outweigh violence and war.

You can always choose to change one person's opinion through forces or change the masses through words of wisdom. The choice is always up to you. But if one can win a war without any blood shed, then it is a true victory.

This is the power of Geng Yi Combination.

Of course, I much prefer that someone wrote bad stuff about me than having a nine inch knife stab into my guts. Not that I know anyone would or could hate me that much but you never know. So far I have met a lot of nice and wonderful people. And I know they are more out there. Hope you will like me and my cheeky non-sensible post.

Merry Christmas & Happy New Year

It seems like ages that I have not update post any thing on my blog. Things has been picking up of for me in term of my part-time Bazi business. This is all due to the support you give to my blog. I am very grateful to you for taking the time to read my post every now and then.

Must confess me that not updating my blog for so long is not entirely due to this busy part-time business. Actually, I have been caught red-handed playing Sorority Sisters and Farmville by one of my reader and also a friend. He! He! He… I am so sorry that my Resource Star has been calling for quite awhile.

My new year RESOLUTIONS are:

1. To update my blog regularly. HA! HA! HA! This is tough.
2. There will be a weekly update on the side bar on each companies listed in the stock exchange classified into one of the 60 Jia Zi starting on 29 December 2009. Any of you who interested to know what element a listed company belong to may email. I will try my best to find out.
3. I am planning to have some animation on my blog. Hopefully, I can have it in my blog next year. Am looking for freelance animator right now. So far the rate they charging is quite high. *sigh* Anyone who is interested or any of you who can introduce someone can contact me at jphang75@gmail.com
4. No shopping in 2010.

Okay, enough of my babbling.

I wish you, my friends and fan out there, a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. May all the Love, Joy and Happiness be with you for the coming year!

A Reason, A Season or A Lifetime

Recently, I received an email from my friend which I find very interesting. It kind of describe people come and go in your life at each Luck Pillar whether it is for better or otherwise. The person who wrote this must have gained lot wisdom through his or her journey in life. It is quite brilliantly written. Here is the article:

A Reason, A Season or A Lifetime

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

People come into your life for a reason, a season or a lifetime. When you know which one it is, you will know what to do for that person.

When someone is in your life for a REASON, it is usually to meet a need you have expressed. They have come to assist you through a difficulty, to provide you with guidance and support, to aid you physically, emotionally or spiritually. They may seem like a godsend and they are. They are there for the reason you need them to be.

Then, without any wrongdoing on your part or at an inconvenient time, this person will say or do something to bring the relationship to an end. Sometimes they die. Sometimes they walk away. Sometimes they act up and force you to take a stand.

What we must realize is that our need has been met, our desire fulfilled, their work is done. The prayer you sent up has been answered and now it is time to move on.

Some people come into your life for a SEASON, because your turn has come to share, grow or learn. They bring you an experience of peace or make you laugh. They may teach you something you have never done. They usually give you an unbelievable amount of joy. Believe it, it is real. But only for a season.

LIFETIME relationships teach you lifetime lessons, things you must build upon in order to have a solid emotional foundation. Your job is to accept the lesson, love the person and put what you have learned to use in all other relationships and areas of your life.

It is said that love is blind but friendship is clairvoyant.

Thank you for being a part of my life, whether you were here for a reason, a season or a lifetime.

I also wish to thank you for being here with me and giving me the support with your comments and compliments. Thank you for being a part of my life, whether you were a reason, a season or a lifetime.

And

MERRY CHRISTMAS & HAPPY NEW YEAR!

2012

Lately, the Maya Calendar's story about the end of the world around 21 - 24 December 2012 seems to get a lot attention. There is even a recent movie called "2012" about it. I know most of you would have seen or at least heard of it. How far can this be true? It may be just a myth. May be the descendant of the Maya society (no pun intended) just didn't have the foresight to update it from their ancestor which resulted all this Huha! of the world going to end soon when the calendar run out on 21 December 2012.

Anyway, there are really people buying into this apocalypse story. Some has even gone as far as joining mass suicide event on 2012. There were two teenagers who are considering killing themselves, because they didn't want to be around when the world ends. Two women were contemplating killing their children and themselves so they wouldn't have to suffer through the end of the world. I come across Joe283 at allindiaforums.com commenting on 2012 which I truly agree. Here is what the fellow says, "IF (big if) the world is going to end in 2012, you obviously don't need to be suicidal, the job will be done for all of us in 2012".

However with the earth quake, typhoon and flood phenomenon in recent years, it does cause for some concern as to what's going to happen to our planet earth. I do hope that more people will be aware of the environment and take more care to conserve the planet earth.

The Chinese Solar Calendar on 21 December 2012 looks as follow. Will it gives a doom day scenario? Will there be another day after 21 December 2012?

I don't know about those who contemplating of suicide, but my mind bring me to more practical thoughts. At the moment I am thinking if there is no tomorrow after 21 December 2012, shall I stop paying my bills now like my car loan, housing loans, credit card bills etc. Besides the bills, shall I also spend like nobody business? Take the trip to Europe that I have always wanted. Buy the BMW that I have been eyeing for quite some time. Resign from my job at this very moment.

And you know what? If I am going to let all things fly to wind, I bet I do not need to wait until 21 December 2012 for the doom day. My Rob Wealth fellows a.k.a. creditors will come knocking at my door step much sooner. They are after all very efficient creatures. And I am pretty sure they bring the hell along as well.

So thou shall not be so drastic, ya. After all, the 21 December 2012 chart does paint a beautiful picture. It shows a rising sun, the mountain with clouds and a beautiful lake reflecting the picturesque scenery. It will be a beautiful year in 2012.

P/S: Can't find the picture to reflect what I want. Hope the above will do but I think it has too much clouds and it is not the green mountain that I am looking for. :Þ

Tiger Snake Monkey

I have just finished my Bazi M4 yesterday. Five days in a role. It feels very much like a crash course. There are so many stuffs to absorb, so little time. I think I have crashed. My brain feels very heavy; maybe it is due to information overload. It is 10.15 a.m. and I have just waked-up. : P

What do I remember about the course? Nothing! I am afraid it has fly back to my teacher. But I am very happy to meet so many people there. Lee Yen who has always in my facebook, I only met her during the M3 class for the first time. Funny isn't it? I really get to know her and her friend more, Lynn in M4. Both of them are quite funny, and quite a joker. Then there is Alice, a very business minded lady.

I am also quite impressive with Wu Shen lady's Bazi skill. She can read the Bazi Charts of a family and able to put together bit and pieces of the family's life story together. Amazing!

Like in the class, there are also many intelligent people out there in this circle of industry. So many Masters and Grandmasters per se. Information abounds and each has their own techniques and theories in the Chinese Metaphysics world.

As I quietly listen to the conversation around me during the dinner as well as the class, it makes me contemplate. And there are always a lot of gossips and rumors flying around, not just in the class for more to wonder. What has set those intelligent people apart, and make one successful and others aren't? A man with vision. A vision to bring what has been viewed as lowly vocation on the three-foot-way into respected profession. And relentless pursue and making it a reality not just here but also in the world.

Cynical world out there, we have. What is a boost of image to the profession, have been felt by many as more of a threat and competition than a benefit of everyone. Lots of badmouthing, and who and who techniques are better or the supposedly original classic, are flying around.

I believes that no amount of Bazi and Fengshui techniques or theories will make you a visionary or beat one. Life is fair. What you contributed out is what you see in returns.

I am back with my post again. Hopefully in a more regular basis. Happy Winter Solstice.

The Lord In This World

I have always taught Donald Trump has Super Vibrant Earth Structure but he is not. This is because of the present of Wood element that controlled the earth in his Bazi Chart. He is born on 14 June 1946 at 9:51 a.m. Check out his Bazi Chart below.

He is born under Thriving Structure which makes him one good deal maker. If you haven't notice, his Bazi chart is completely missing out the water element. Water usually represent taught and wisdom in a person. If you are without one, then what?! Are you a complete nerd or an idiot? Of course not! Don't forget your Ten Gods in a Bazi Chart. Each of them plays a certain role and affects you in certain way.

Besides water, the Resource Star can also represent your thinking. Obviously, it is better to have the water element as well as the Resource Star so that the Bazi Chart has more balance in term of the five elements. Then the ups and downs of life would not be so jarring. Naturally, the best Resource Star is the water element. It gives one great abilities and flexibility in their thoughts. With the water as the Resource Star, you are blessed with the ability to think through problem easily. You seem to solve problem faster than others.

In Donald's Bazi Chart, the water element also represents his wealth. Does this mean he is dirt-poor? It is all matter of context. At one point, Donald considered the beggar who had just a few cents was wealthier than him. He is in multi-millions debts. Well, looking at his Bazi Chart you will notice that there so many Friend, Rob Wealth and Indirect Resource Stars which are the earth and fire elements. In addition the Wei~Wu combines to form Fire again. The Wei~Wu combination also known as the Sun and Moon combination indicates a person has a brilliant business skills.

Hence, the wealth star which represents the cold hard cash doesn't make an important role in Donald's life. I have another name for his Bazi Structure. I called it the OPM Structure a.k.a. the Other People Money Structure. He uses a very minimum of his favourable elements in his business and career dealings. As you know, Donald Trump is well-known in the deal he strikes in the property business. The Trump Organisation is a brand name in the property sector in US. He also has a celebrity lifestyle and image making him prominent figure in the entertainment industry. He is one of the well-paid TV personalities from The Apprentice. Hence you can say that he works in the field of his favourable elements in the earth and fire industry which are the strongest element in his Bazi Chart.

If you wish to know his favourable elements, they are water which is totally missing, Xin Metal found inside the Xu Dog and Jia Wood located at the Month Stem rooted under Yi in the Wei Goat.

So how does one use a field of favourable element in the unfavourable element environment? Using Donald Trump as an example:

1. Wood in the Earth Industry (US based Real Estate Developer)

Wood element is an Influence Star to Donald Trump. It represents his reputation and good name especially the Jia Wood which is the Direct Officer Star. According to Wikipedia, Donald Trump is paid by many developers for his name to be displayed on the buildings they developed. He does not own many of those building.

Wood element also represents his children. Forbes has mentioned that this portion of Real Estate Licensing in the Trump's Empire is actually run by his children and is his most valuable asset with a valuation of US$562 million.

In actual fact, a property developer or construction company involves the wood element besides earth. Check out why is this in my article, "YTL Conglomerates (Part II)".

2. Metal in the Fire Industry (Hollywood Walk of Fame)

The Xin Metal is present inside the Xu Dog which represents one of the Output Stars, Eating God, to Donald. Xin Metal natures love the limelight and glamorous appearance. Being the Eating God Star also means a perfectionist in work.

While Geng Metal is present inside the Si Snake which represents the Hurting Officer Star located at the Hour Branches show that Donald's aspiration to be a well-known performer. In his younger days, he has thought of joining a film school but has given up the idea to a more practical pursued.

Donald has been two-time Emmy Award-nominated personality. He has made many appearances as a caricatured version of himself in television series and films, e.g. Home Alone 2: Lost in New York, The Nanny, The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, Days of our Lives, and as a character, e.g. The Little Rascals. He has also been the subject of comedians, flash cartoon artists, and online caricature artists. He has been a guest on various talk shows and other media.

However, he made the strongest impression in The Apprentice, a group of competitors battled for a high-level management job in one of Trump's commercial enterprises. His trademark catch phrase, "You're fired" made an everlasting impression on everyone who has seen The Apprentice.

It is also this TV reality show that gave his earning a boost from a US$700 for the first season to US$3 million per episode, making him one of the highest paid TV personalities. In 2007, Trump received an honor for his contribution of The Apprentice to television by receiving a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

Interesting to note is that the Metal through condensation by the Fire attracted the water element which is missing in his Bazi Chart. Hence, he is earning big bugs in the media and entertainment industry.

3. Missing Water

Although the water element does not present in the chart, it isn't completely missing. The Si Snake which contains the Geng as sub-Qi is still able to produce the water. Under the Six Harmony Combination, Si Snake naturally combines with the Shen Monkey to form water. The Monkey contains the Geng Metal. Geng characteristic are hardworking, tough and able to take hardship. It is also an Output Star and Nobleman Star to Donald Trump. His father, Fred Trump, has taken the role or in his action that is represent by Shen Monkey to compensate the lack of affinity between the father and son as a result of the missing water.

Below is Donald Trump's monologue which described his childhood relationship with his father.

"As a young boy I remember that life's highest priorities among my family was to remember to turn out all the lights in the house, and eat every single mouthful served on my plate and always to be mindful of the poor. When visiting my fathers building sites as young boy I remember my siblings and I would collect cans for their 5 cent deposits. We all had summer jobs and paper routes my father insisted on this. The only time my father showed any leniency was when it rained and he would let us use the limousine to do our paper routes in the morning…

… Education was the biggest demand my father had on me and he wanted me to get my degree. Real Estate was the only thing I could see myself studying. Doing this was easy after a lifetime of visiting my father's building sites and listening to my father's telephone calls."

Tracking Donald Trump's each stage of life and his Luck Pillar.

Childhood (1959)

At the age of 13, Donald was going through the Yi Wei Luck Pillar. The Wei Goat in the Luck Pillar in a destruction relationship with the Xu Dog. The Stem on the Luck Pillar revealed Yi Wood, a Seven Killings Star. This indicates trouble with the authority e.g. disciplinary teacher or law-enforcer. We further scale it down to 1959 in Ji Hai year, note that the Hai Pig (Annual Branch) clashed into Si Snake (Hour Pillar). Both the Hai Pig and Si Snake are Sky Horse Star, represent travel and movement. According to Wikipedia, Donald got into some trouble and was send to the New York Military Academy by his parent. Some other biography stated that his parent send him to the military academy so that he can learn to direct his energy and assertiveness in a positive manner as well as learned discipline and to complete his middle education. The Seven Killings Star can also represent the military academy.

Career (Early Success from 1968 to 1989)

1968 to 1989 spanned three Luck Pillars which covered Bing Shen, Ding You and Wu Wu in Donlad Trump's life. This is exactly the Autumn Luck Cycle which Donald has gone into. Autumn represents the Metal element which is the favourable element to Donald. Hence, you see his success in Bing Shen and Ding You.

Career (Financial problems from 1989 to 1997)

However, walking into the Wu Wu Luck Pillar proved to be quite damaging. The Wu Wu which is the pure Wu Earth element is the Rob Wealth Star to Donald Trump. Still, it is a metal period so you see Donald's fortune fluctuate widely in this Luck Pillar. You see using the Rob Wealth Star has it flip side especially if you have a prosperous Day Master which is what Donald Trump is. It is like two sharp edge sword that is able to fight for you and hurt you at the same instance. Donald Trump is the perfect example of Rob Wealth Stars fortune where fast heavily borrowed fortune and the fame that comes with it can very easily disappear if one is not careful. Hence when he walked into Annual Pillar of Ji Si in 1989 where fire element became exceedingly strong, the troubles began. The following two years proved to be toughest in his life.

According to Forbes magazine (Forbes April 3, 2000) estimated that Donald's increased debt and a drop in real-estate values caused him to lose more than two thirds of his net worth of $17 billion in 1989 to $500 million in 1990.

Toward the end of the Wu Wu Luck Pillar and the beginning of Ji Hai Luck Pillar, he began to negotiate and restructure his debt. He has successfully negotiated down his debt but his real estate business is heading for a decline.

Career (Resurgence and Financial Crisis from 1997 to 2008)

The Ji Hai Luck Pillar marked Donald exit from the metal period into the water period. In the water period, his fortune is actually mixed because of the lack of affinity with the element.

In 1997, Donald Trump seems to stage a come with several projects. The initial stage seem to look successful, however, it may the end result may not be so rosy. This is one of the possibilities that might happen when you lack the affinity with a favourable element.

Look at Trump projects during this period. Excerpt from Wikipedia: The Trump International Hotel and Tower - Honolulu seems to be a success. Construction of the Trump International Hotel and Tower - Chicago proceeds as planned although 30% of the units remain unsold. The Trump International Hotel and Tower – Toronto has had a series of delays and a height reduction. The Trump Tower - Tampa has been quite controversial because the initial sales were so successful that all deposits were returned to charge a higher price. Three years after construction of this controversial development began, construction has delayed and lawsuits have been filed. In Fort Lauderdale, Florida one Trump construction project was put on hold in favor of another (Trump International Hotel and Tower - Fort Lauderdale). Meanwhile,Trump Towers - Atlanta is being developed in a housing market which has the nation's second-highest inventory of unsold homes.

In 2008, Wu Zi year, the strong earth (Friend Star) again proved detrimental. At this point, Donald has gone into the Geng Zi Luck Pillar which is the height of the winter. The Zi in the Branches of the Luck Pillar clashed into the Wu Horse on Month Branch and harmed the Wei Goat on the Day Branch in his Bazi Natal Chart. In the Annual Pillar of 2008, same occurrence happened with his Natal Chart. In December 2008, he failed to pay a loan due to Deutsche Bank amounting to US$40 million due to property bust and financial crisis at that time. On 13 February 2009, Donald stepped down from the board od director in Trump Entertainment Resorts. On 17 February, Trump Entertainment Resorts filed for Chapter 11 Bankruptcy.

While his good name in the business world is receiving a dent and his real estate business is heading south, his celebrity image has taken to a new level. In 2003, Gui Wei year, Donald became the executive producer and host of the NBC reality show, The Apprentice. It is a huge success.

Will Donald Trump, a name that is larger than life in the US real estate world, turns it tides and make a successful come back? Well, while a whole lot of people think that good fortune will bring you far, there is still 30% element of change that you can controlled. If you can feel Donald's passion and will power, you know he will max up this 30% in his hand. He summed his future in these few words, "Anyone who thinks my story is anywhere near over is sadly mistaken."

The Four Cardinals

The Four Cardinals refers to the Earthly Branches of Zi Rat, Mao Rabbit, Wu Horse and You Rooster. Each of this Earthly Branches is reside at the peak of the seasons.

When spring comes, Mao is at its peak and prosperous with the pure Qi of Yi Wood. Then summer, Wu Horse is at it prosperous with Ding Fire Qi plus a minor Qi of Ji Earth. This is because the fire element produces earth and hence, all the fire branches will carries a secondary element of earth. During autumn, the You Rooster is at it prosperous with a pure Qi of Xin Metal. Lastly in winter, Zi Rat is at its peak and prosperous with the pure Qi of Gui Water. Hence you have the Four Cardinals which is called "Di Wang" in the stage of life.

Okay! It sounds like textbook, I know. But I just want explain a bit in details of the position of Four Cardinals in each of the season. You know, they are on top of the world. And literary, it applies to the people who Day Master sits on this earthly being…

So what's "Di Wang" means? How does it reflect on a person character? In addition, the Four Cardinals are also the four Peach Blossom Stars.

By just looking at the Four Cardinals (while all other element remain constant), people who have either one of the Cardinals indicates that they have a likeable and attractive personality. People somehow gravitate to them by their appearance or charming disposition. They are also innocent and trusting at times. However on the flip side, they can be egoistic and have an aggressive personality. This is when the Day Master is sitting at "Di Wang". They can come across as passionate and full of vitality.

However when one who have too many of the Four Cardinals a.k.a the Peach Blossom Stars in his or her Bazi Natal Chart it definitely means trouble in relationship. Cases like third party, infidelity, stalker or stuck in abusive relationship that they seems to unable to get out of are some of the possibilities of too much of this Star. Why is this so? If you look the Four Cardinals, you will notice that each of the Earthly Branches has a problematic relationship to other. Look at the table below.

Hence, it is ideal to have only one Cardinal Earthly Branches or one Peach Blossom Star in your Bazi Natal Chart. Sometimes too much of a good things just spoil everything.

Besides the above relationship, where the Four Cardinals reside in your Bazi Chart and also which Ten Gods it represents have an important influence and effect too.

For example: A Mao Rabbit on your Hour Pillar indicates people will instantly gravitate to you but the effect is not long lasting. The person also have tendency to involve in a fling or one night stand kind of relationship especially when the element is negative. On a brighter note it indicates that this person is in good term with the people he or she works with because the Hour Pillar also represents your Colleague and Subordinate Palace. This is especially so if the Mao Rabbit is also either one of this Ten Gods: the Friend, Rob Wealth, Eating God or Hurting Officer Star.

Quick! Look at your Bazi Chart, see if you have any of the Earthly Branches I mentioned and good luck with you discovery. J

Rich Dad Poor Dad by Robert T. Kiyosaki

It has been quite awhile that I post a write-up on my blog. A special reader, who has since become a friend, has reminds me that every time I lapse on posting an article. I apologize for the delay due to a sudden influx of customer asking for Bazi consultation.

I promised him to post something soon. Although I have a few subjects to write about, I have posted his request first. This article is not to track events that happened in Robert life. It is more about the potential that is in his Bazi Chart.

Robert T. Kiyosaki is born on 8 April 1947. I do not have his time of birth but for the analysis today, I think information available will suffice.

Robert is born on spring under the Structure of Hurting Officer. Hence, for the basic Bazi studies we know that his Day Master (DM), Ding Fire is strong. Furthermore, his DM is sitting on Jian Lu, the Si Snake, which is a Thriving Star. Hence, he favours the elements of water, earth and metal.

It is a known fact before Robert become famous, he actually a successful salesman, selling copy machines for the Xerox Corporation. If you have read my article on the Ten Gods in relation to career, then you would know that salesman is actually using a Hurting Officer (HO) Star. In the Robert's Bazi the HO is represented by Wu Earth which can be found in the Chen Dragon.

If you were to look at Robert's Luck Pillar, he actually stepped in to his favourable luck cycle from the age 21 onwards. So why is he not famous earlier? He is only well-known when he published the book Rich Dad Poor Dad in 2004. Publishing and becoming an author which fall under the wood industry is not even his favourable element. Here I want to dispelled some of the myths surrounded the unfavourable element and clashes.

Unfavourable Element

Myth: There is always assumption that unfavourable elements in your natal will bring bad luck. It is better to disassociate with this unlucky element so that you will be better off in term of luck. Robert in his earlier day has uses his favourable element to achieve success that is Wu Earth, his HO but it can even compare to the achievement now.

Fact: This so called unfavourable element is just another element in your chart. Using this element doesn't mean you are doom forever to be bad luck. It only means that you may face some challenges while you use this element. In fact every element in your Natal Chart has it pro and cons. The negative element just shows more of it negative sight. You can always consciously improve the positive sight of your unfavourable element.

For example: In Robert T. Kiyosaki case becoming an author has brings him tremendous success and fame. Publishing and writing a book is a wood industry. It is his Direct Resource Star which is not favourable to him. Another element, the fire is Rob Wealth Star (RW) to Robert. It is also not in his favourable element but this RW is a star of fame. If you want to be famous, to be well-known around the world, you need this Star in your natal chart.
Robert has used the Ding Fire element well. Ding Fire is the light of a candle. It shines and shows people the way in the dark. Robert's book is all about showing people the way to achieve financial freedom. His books have inspires many to believe that everyone can do it. This is what Ding Fire is all about.

Of course, there are challenges. RW always brings about jealousy and acute competition. There are many critic on Robert' books and teaching for containing little concrete advice on how readers should proceed. They are also those who believe that Rich Dad is fictional and Robert created him as an author surrogate (a literary device).

Clashes

Myth: Clashes mean that there is a sudden and shocking event into a person life. It is always assumption that some kind of freak accident will happen to that person who has a clash in his Bazi.

Fact: Clashes do not necessary just associates with accident. If you are migrating to another country, your Bazi may probably show a clash too.

For example: In Robert's Luck Pillar of 51 (Age 51 to 60), there is a clash relationship between the Xu Dog and Chen Dragon. This clash released out the Ding Fire element. As I mentioned earlier, the Fire element is his Friend and RW stars which bring about fame. Hence, there is a possibility of a break through that will bring about fame in Robert life. In 2000, Geng Chen year, the book titled, "Rich Dad Poor Dad", shoots Robert into stardom in the literacy world. Remember the Ding Fire, Jia Wood and Geng Metal always work together. The Geng is found in the Geng Chen in the Annual Pillar of 2000.

Time

Myth: It is always believe that during your lucky cycle, whatever you plan to do or project you plan to launch will shoot into instant success. You may have the capability and foresight during this period to execute certain projects or ideas. It is also an added plus point because whatever you plan to do seems to go smoother but it does not guarantee 100% success. In fact, it just takes only one year of bad luck or unfavourable cycle in that 10-year of your good Luck Pillar to killed your project or idea if you do not have enough experience or good planning.

Fact: You need to work and toil on your project, talent and idea whether in the bad time or good time so you become good, an expert, in that field. When the window of opportunity opens, you are there to receive it.

For example: Robert started writing much, much earlier than in the year 2004. His first book titled "If You Want to be Rich & Happy Don't go to School?" was published in 1992. The book does not really do well. If he does not persist on and keep on writing, the book "Rich Dad Poor Dad" will not published and he would not be famous. In fact, he actually self-published the book "Rich Dad Poor Dad" in 1997 when all the publishing company see it as another financial investment book that does not seems to be profitable. In the year 2000, after the commercial picked the book for publishing, it is on the New York Best Seller List for 6 years till 2007.

You may born with a potential good chart, but if you do not put on your weight to improve your in born ability even a lousy person chart will do much better than you. In this world there is no lucky period where you do not need to work or contribute little and get instant success with everything you wish fall from the sky to you. You receive in return what you have given.
