A Prosperous Resource 印 Stars

Generally in the study of Bazi, the element that produces the Day Master is the Resource Stars. The Resource Stars are divided into the yin and yang polarity. Therefore, this gives us the Direct and Indirect Resource Stars. Table: Resource Star for the Five Elements A prosperous resource star means the Resource Star is sitting on the month branch. It is born in season.

Prosperous Resource Star

For example, the chart on the left shows the Day Master of Ji Earth. This person resource star is Ding Fire is born exactly in the fire season. Thus, this person has a prosperous Indirect Resource Star.

Resource Star represents a person ability to learn, education, wisdom, thought, knowledge and good reputation. It's also your instincts and life experiences that empower you to the future. Indirect resource represents intuition and or sixth sense. Resource Star also represents a person family background or support from superior, help and assistant received a.k.a. nobleman. All forms of resource help, comfort, nurture and protect the individual.

Usually those born with strong resource star, their life is peppered with things going their way, things or situations working out in some way or another. They will generally have a comfy life, easily contended, shun hard work and inclined to leave work or responsibility to other people since they always find that others will take the lead and help out. Remember, Resource Star is also a Nobleman Star! As such this may easily stifle a person growth and progress in life. It can makes a person fairly useless human being! Unfavourable resource star also denotes a person who has poor intellect, negative thinker and many bad habits.

So is there exceptional to the rule? Don't frets! Take a look at three individual charts below who are ordinary people but who have extraordinary life.

Have you find your love on this Valentine?

What makes a person popular and attractive to the others? The answer to this in Bazi study is the Peach Blossom Star. If you have this star in your Bazi Chart, generally speaking besides being attractive to the opposite sex you are also a person well like by many. People find you easy to relate to.

How do you find the Peach Blossom 桃花 Star in your chart? Look at the Day and Year Branches of your chart and check on the Table I below.

Table I: Peach Blossom 桃花 StarPeach Blossom 桃花 Star
For example, below is the Bazi Chart of Brad Pitt born in 18 December 1963 at 6.31 a.m;

Brad Pitt's Bazi Chart

Brad Pitt's chart has three Peach Blossom Stars. The Mao Rabbit and Wei Goat Peach Blossom is the Zi Rat. While on its own the Mao Rabbit is also a Peach Blossom Star. Besides the two Mao Rabbits are also Rob Wealth Star to him. Rob Wealth Star represents fame and popularity to an actor or artist. Bet you can imagine why Brad Pitt is so popular now. It also explains many women that appeared in his life and up to now his relationship with Angelina Jolie.

So you don't have Peach Blossom Star in your chart, does this mean you are doomed forever to be a lonely soul? For an ordinary person, it is better to have the Influence Star (preferably a Direct Officer) for ladies and the Wealth Star (preferably a Direct Wealth) for men than the Peach Blossom Star. Then you will not have to face problems like third party involvement, jealousy or confusion in relationship matters.

In the matter of heart, besides having Direct Officer 正官 Star for the ladies and Direct Wealth 正財 Star for the guys, and the plus factor of Peach Blossom Star, we also do not like to see the Solitary Star and Lonesome Star in a Bazi Chart. Solitary 孤辰 Star means the person likes the company of its own in other words a loner while the Lonesome 寡宿 Star means the person will always feel lonely whether he or she is in the company of a group or alone.

Table II: Solitary 孤辰Star and Lonesome 寡宿StarSolitary 孤辰Star and Lonesome 寡宿Star

Again by looking at the Day and Year Branches in your Bazi Chart and cross check with the Table II above.

Angelina Jolie's Bazi Chart

Example on Table II, take a look at Angelina Jolie's Bazi Chart. She is born in 4 June 1975 at 9.09 a.m.

Have you ever wonder why she still not marry to Brad Pitt yet? She has three Solitary Stars in her Bazi Chart! The Year Branch, Mao Rabbit's Solitary Star is Si Snake.

At the end of the day, your action speaks a lot in the tone and way your relationship is heading. Interpersonal relationship skills are very important too.

The Unbearable Heat

Australia has been regarded as a place that's always prone to bushfire during the summer season.

In the late January 2009, the exceptional heat-wave affected many parts of Australia particularly South-Eastern of Australia. It has disrupted major electricity, in turn caused the cancellation of thousands of train and tram services due to buckling rail lines, air conditioner failures and power outages. Hundreds have been treated for heat-related illness and 6 fatalities have been confirmed while a number of "sudden deaths" have been suspected to be caused by the heat.

The pro-long heat wave has also generated extreme fire conditions during the peak of the 2008-09 Australian bushfire season, causing many bushfires in the affected region, culminating in the 2009 Victorian bushfires which have claimed at least 181 lives, a figure that is rapidly rising. It has also destroyed at least 1,000 homes. Some of the fires are suspected to have been deliberately lit by arsonists. Their action has been described as "mass murder" by the Australian Prime Minister Kevin Rudd. The bushfires are one of the worst natural disasters in Australia's history since 110 years ago.

Victoria Bushfire

To recapture the Outlook in the Chou Ox year, look at the chart below:

Bazi Chart 4 February 2009Using the 4 February 2009 chart, and relate to natural disaster in Australia. The two Bing Fires (two sun) on the Hour Stem and Month Stem reveal an extremely hot weather. The Na Yin of the year, Ji Chou, is fire from thunder. Again indicates a dry and hot seasons.

On the Hour Pillar, the Zi Rat sits at the branch. Zi Rat is one of the three sign of winter season. Countries that going through the winter months with summer weather are countries like Australia, New Zealand and New Caledonia. These countries are prone to bushfires. The Gui Water (represents mists, cloud or rain) contains in Zi Rat heated up by two suns shining on it become severe heat wave in South-Eastern Australia subsequently lead to the bushfire.

If you check on Wikipedia, the heat wave is the result of by a slow moving high-pressure system that settled over the Tasman Sea, with a combination of an intense tropical low (Zi-Chen combo) located off the North West Australian coast and a monsoon trough (Zi-Chen combo) over Northern Australia, which produced ideal conditions for hot tropical air (two Bing Fire heating up the Zi Rat) to be directed down over Southeastern Australia.

The Chen Dragon and Chou Ox in the chart also form destruction which describes the worst bushfire ever seen since 1859. Most of the northeast town of Melbourne have been completely destroyed.

How does by possibility gauging the natural events help you in your daily decision? It may not be a 100% guarantee that the event will take place but it can help you mentally prepare to face the problem and take necessary action. In the case of Australia's bushfire:

  • You may take extra health precautionary and safety measures to protect yourself.
  • You may also in this case increase the sum insure in the disaster prone areas.
  • Prices of Insurance companies like Suncorp Metway and IAG at the close of trading on 9 February had dropped by more than a quarter, down nearly ten per cent respectively. Although they say it was too early to tell what the costs of the fires to insurers would be, some claims adjusters suggested that the total insurance costs for the fires could amount to $1.5 billion. Hence, as an investor you may have avoided the Insurance companies. Or you may have waited for this opportunity to buy some of the blue-chip in discount.
  • The reconstruction efforts were likely to produce a stimulus effect on the economy of between 0.25 and 0.4 per cent of GDP over 18 months according to an economist from Goldman Sachs JBWere. How would this affect you as an individual or as an investor?
