Personality Plus In Bazi

There are many systems that analyze a person's personality, emotion or character out there. Personality Plus system is one of them.

Briefly explain "Personality Plus" is actually a book written by Florence Littauer. The book mainly talked about four key types of personality profile namely, Choleric, Melancholy, Sanguine and Phlegmatic. It is a generalized system of categorizing personality. Its also allow mixing of profile such as describing a person as Choleric Melancholy and not just Choleric or Melancholy.

The "Personality Plus" personality profiles:

Choleric: Commander-type. Conqueror. Choleric life-motto is "My Way". They are dominant, strong, decisive, stubborn and even arrogant. They focused on getting things done, but can run rough-shod over others.

Melancholy: Mental-type. Philosopher. Melancholy life-motto is "The Right Way". Their typical behaviour involves thinking, assessing, making lists, evaluating the positives and negatives, and general analysis of facts. They are highly talented, have brilliant ideas, although sometimes they can paralyze themselves with over-analysis. Lists and "doing things the right way" are characteristics of this personality type.

Sanguine: Social-type. Party-animal. Sanguine life-motto is "The Fun Way". They enjoy fun, socialising, chatting, telling stories - and are fond of promising the world, because that's the friendly thing to do. They get on well with people and can get others excited about issues, but cannot always be relied upon to get things done. They love interacting with others and very good at playing the role of entertainer. They have a tendency to over-promise and under-deliver.

Phlegmatic: Flat-type. Peace-maker. Phlegmatic life-motto is "The Easy Way". They are easy going, laid back, nonchalant, unexcitable and relaxed. They tend not to upset people, but their indifference may frustrate people. They try not to make decisions, and generally go for the status quo. They care about people and harmony.

While Bazi is a tool that allows us to delve into pass, current and future influence of our 'destiny' in areas of our life like friends and family, relationships, wealth, fame, career, studies, partnership, and business base on the calculation of our date of birth. Bazi helps us to understand ourselves better and thus maximize our potential by choosing the right career or taking necessary actions at the right time. With the knowledge of our luck cycles influences, it helps us to make informed decisions that will benefit us. It also tells us the influence of people around us whether they are helpful or impede our progress.

Although Bazi are mainly use to foretell a person destiny, it can also reveal a person personality and what's governing the person's emotion. It is important to understand certain facet of a person character as one's action or inaction is greatly influence by the person's personality. The type of action taken by the person is also influence by his emotion.

In Bazi, a person personality is governed by his Day Master with the main influence of the Month Branch and secondary influence of the Day Branch.

For example, the Bazi Chart shows the Person Day Master is Yi Wood born in the month of Zi Rat which is the Indirect Resource Star (Month Branch) while Yi Wood is sitting on Hai Pig, Direct Resource Star (Day Branch). Both the Month and Day Branches are Resource Star. If you look at the nature of Resource Star, this person has a big comfort zone. Usually they have a comfy life and easily contended, thus they dislike any disruption or major changes in their living environment. These very much correspond to the softer-side of Phlegmatic personality. Phlegmatic personality also hides an iron-will to succeed which may be lacking in Resource Star's natures.

Of course, the Day Master can also reveal many facets of a person's personality. For this Yi Wood person also show a flexible and adaptable personality which is reinforce by his Resource Stars.

However in this article, let make it simple thus I will compare it in term of Ten Gods. As every element in the Bazi chart will contributes to a person personality in a big way or in small dosage, thus it will be no-end to the personality analysis to cover everything at one goal.

Let look at the others "Ten Gods" personality profile.

Hurting Officer and Eating God are both output stars. Both represent a person talent and creativity. Hurting Officer tends to basked in limelight and talkative in nature. They are busybody, street smart and competitive individual. A very much Sanguine personality! While Eating God bespoke of inner-talent. They are intelligent, refine and culture. They are also sentimental, quite and gentle in nature. Careful in their thought and take time to do thing. They abhor competition. All in all they are a perfectionist. A true Melancholy nature indeed!

Direct Officer and Seven Killing are Influence Stars. They both have leadership quality. Direct Officer Personalities are law-abiding, co-operative, calculative, rational and responsible. They are also objective, righteous and stern as well as respect the norms of society. Hence Direct Officer has three combinations of personality profiles;

Phlegmatic: law-abiding, co-operative, objective, and respect the norms of society.

Choleric: strong, stern and leadership quality.

Melancholy: calculative, rational, righteous and responsible .

The Direct Officer most dominant personality is Phlegmatic follow by Choleric and with a small amount of influence of Melancholy's natures. Since Phlegmatic and Choleric is the exact opposite of two personalities, Direct Officer individual tends to be fickle-minded when making decision.

Seven Killing is a pure Choleric personality profile. They are intelligent, charismatic, robust and temperamental. Daring, bold, inspiring and determined when on the job. They are also brave and courageous but are an extremist, merciless and also a sore looser. They are really a pushy and nasty boss.

Direct Wealth and Indirect Wealth are as the name implies the Wealth Stars. Both of them are hardworking individual in the pursuit of wealth. Direct Wealth personality tends to be straightforward, thrifty and calculative, doesn't like to 'rock the boat' or 'reinvent the wheel', reliable and also disliked gossip. They are also not flexible and can be boring at times. They may sometimes appear to have no-motivation in life. It is almost look like the Direct Officer combination of personality profiles again. However in this case, two combinations are dominant that is Phlegmatic-Melancholy with a small dose of Choleric natures. Here the Direct Wealth individual does not have the problems of being fickle-minded compare to Direct Officer's character.

Indirect Wealth has the combination of Sanguine and Choleric personality. They can sell a dream or an idea. They are multi-talented, risk-takers and have a good networking ability. They are also generous, energetic and sociable. One of their weakness is they tend to act fast and make hasty decision. All this show a Sanguine personality profile. However they are naturally aggressive and competitive, a site found in the Choleric personality profile.

Friend and Rob Wealth are both Companion Stars. Contrarily to the name, Companion Star, they are not sociable creatures though they may have many friends in life and a wide network. You can say they have more Phlegmatic natures as they can be easy going but lack the charm and intensity of a popular Sanguine. At the same time they are strong-willed and independent individual. They can be brash, passionate, honourable and brave. Domineering, self-center and stubborn at times, all this are characteristic of a Choleric profile. Again Phlegmatic and Choleric is a clash of personality. In this case, you may have an individual with dual personality. It seems to me that it is more difficult to classified the Companion Stars into the Personality Plus profile then the others "Ten Gods".

All the above analysis is base of on the information available through the Personality Plus course that I have attended. Matching the personality of "Ten Gods" to the Personality Plus system profile is also base on my opinion as well. As the Bazi cover a broader base of analysis of an individual, thus it may not be 100% accurate in describing a person nature but it suffice to reveal at least 70-80% of a person's natures. I do hope you will find it interesting to read and use it as a general guide to understand yourself while studying your Bazi chart.
