Stars in Ba Zi: their meaning and decoding (part 1)

dolio.ru » Feng Shui » Stars in Ba Zi: their meaning and interpretation (part 1)

Not long ago we talked about what the Ba Zi calculator is and how to use it correctly. In the topic of the same article, we partially touched on what the stars in Ba Zi are and how they influence a person’s destiny. Today I would like to talk in more detail on this topic and tell you about the meanings of the most commonly used symbols.

What do the stars represent in the Ba Zi chart?

The stars in the fate map (as Ba Zi is sometimes also called) represent a characteristic combination of signs, on the basis of which Feng Shui experts calculate certain signs that characterize different periods in a person’s life, as well as the characteristics of his character.

Since this system was invented several decades ago, there are several hundred such stars in modern Feng Shui. However, only 20, maximum 30 characters are most often used. Their calculation is based on taking into account the animal characteristic of a person’s birthday, as well as the year of his birth and a detailed analysis of the celestial trunk of the birthday.

In total, as you know, Feng Shui studies 12 animals, so the same earthly branch can include several types of symbolic stars, each of which will influence a person’s life in completely different ways. In some cases it will bring good luck, and in others, on the contrary, bad luck. This depends on a number of factors, which only an experienced Ba Zi map specialist can take into account and analyze.

What is bazi

Bazi Four Pillars of Destiny is a system of prediction. Unlike other techniques, analyzing the Bazi chart only requires dividing the date of birth - year, month, day and hour into four pairs of Chinese characters. They are called the “pillars of destiny.”

This technique is very rich in its capabilities. Knowing the Bazi card helps in making informed decisions. Having such information, you can wisely use your innate potential, abilities, and capabilities.

All calculations are carried out using the Chinese solar calendar, on which the Chinese astrology system is based.

Or you can use one of the online calculators. Use the bazi calculator and calculate the pillars of destiny. You will receive elemental symbols from the Five Elements system - Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, Water. According to the Yin-Yang principle, their Yang or Yin property is added to the elements.

The four pillars of fate are 4 pairs of characters arranged in a column - the year, month, day and hour of birth, where the upper hieroglyphs are called Heavenly Trunks, and the lower ones - Earthly Branches.

It happens that in the Ba Zi map you can see a large concentration of stars. This is an unfavorable sign, because a person with such a card is endowed with a complex character and a difficult fate.

Symbolic stars are not any separate signs in the Bazi chart. No wonder they are often called virtual stars. The symbolic star denotes a certain relationship of elements in the Four Pillars of Destiny.

In most cases, the star is represented by the Terrestrial branch. Symbolic stars are calculated in various ways: by the Celestial trunk of the day, by the Earthly branch of the day, month or year. Some stars represent a specific set of hieroglyphs.

Good and bad symbols on the map

Conventionally, we can distinguish good and bad stars, which are also called the Demons of good luck and bad luck.

Positively influence our lives:

• Blooming canopy
• Noble man
• Flower of romance,
• traveling horse,
• Art Star,
• Academician's Star
• Red Luan,
• General's Star,
• Vault Star (Tomb)
• Golden carriage

Negative signs include:

• Bankruptcy Star
• Constellation Plunder
• Star of Self-Punishment
• War Star
• Angel of Death or Demon of Destruction
• Sheep knife

However, any Feng Shui specialist will confirm the fact that it is quite difficult to assess a person’s fate based on symbolic stars. In order to most truthfully assess the role of a particular symbol in a person’s fate, it is necessary to evaluate his chart comprehensively and only then will it become clear whether a particular star will bring him success or, conversely, will become a sign of destruction in one of the areas of his life.

Unfavorable symbols

Bankruptcy

Bad symbol. The Bankruptcy Star in the chart speaks of big financial problems, possibly the collapse of material well-being. How severe the money crisis is depends on the symbols that surround the Bankruptcy star.

The stronger they are, the fewer problems there will be from an unsuccessful symbol. It is very bad if such a symbol is in the card of a person who is engaged in business.

Huge problems with business can be expected, and some experts generally advise that in this case the business should not be registered in one’s own name. It can also negatively affect family and health.

Robbery

The presence of the “Robbery” symbol leads to direct losses. These are not necessarily monetary or valuable losses. This includes loss of status, trust, prestige, and place in society. Supported by four signs: Dog, Ox, Goat, Dragon.

The owner of this symbol can both lose a lot and learn to take away from others.

Sometimes such people have a combination of cunning and the ability to think outside the box. There may be a tendency to deception, theft, and resourcefulness.

Self-punishment

Owners of the “Self-punishment” symbol in their cards very often create problems for themselves in many areas of life. This happens due to inattention, absent-mindedness, constant rushing, and also due to personal prejudices. To neutralize the effect of the star of Self-punishment, you need to work on yourself and your discipline all your life.

War

War in a map can have both positive and negative meanings. In a positive sense, it gives its owner strategic thinking, which helps him successfully overcome obstacles and win battles.

The negative meaning of the card is human injustice, a tendency to steal.

Angel of Death or Demon of Destruction

Despite its terrifying name “Angel of Death,” this star does not pose any particular threat to its owner. You can also hear about her under the name Demon of Destruction. People who have this star out are usually mentally unstable and prone to depression, and also have a whole “bouquet” of complexes and fears. As a result, problems with the law cannot be ruled out.

But the flip side of “owning” this star is that it gives its owner confidence, intelligence and wisdom. As you can see, these definitions make no sense to a mortal sense.

The Star of Prosperity brings good luck: a person achieves a high position in society and material wealth.

Sheep knife

The Sheep Knife symbol also has a double meaning. Positive qualities are determination, the ability to achieve one’s goals, and clarity of decisions. Such people rarely doubt and always know what they want to achieve in life and from others.

Such a star gives very strong stubbornness. A person does not want to change his mind, is ambitious, gives persistence in achieving a goal, determination, but this Star can also be dangerous, since a person can make a fatal mistake in life.

When combined with other bad stars, the person has unbalanced behavior.

The sheep knife and the high Qi phase in the baz-zi chart and in a certain pillar gives very high emotionality. It is important to keep it under control.

Such a person does not need to make important decisions himself, but consult with wise people in order to avoid a fatal mistake.

Sheep Knife is better for a weak card, but for a strong one it can cause a lot of problems.

A sheep knife in the Ba Tzu chart in the year means bad relationships with relatives. In the month - developed leadership qualities and the ability to lead people.

The sheep's knife is unfavorable in the House of Marriage. He brings misunderstandings with his spouse, even disaster, and an unstable personal life.

Famous people with the Sheep Knife card

Entrepreneur Mary Kay Ash, founder of Mary Key Inc., has built a successful business from scratch that is opening up new opportunities for women to achieve financial success today.

Her business is thriving to this day, annually selling products worth $2.2 billion, according to the company's official website.

And the heart of this successful organization has always been the energetic nature of Ashe herself. She was famous for her love of the color pink, which was found in everything from product packaging to the Cadillac that she awarded each year to the most successful consultants.

Ash truly valued her employees and once said: “The greatest asset of any company is its people.”

Ash was married three times and had three children from her first marriage to J. Ben Rogers - Richard, Ben and Marilyn. After Rogers returned from the army, in which he took part in World War II, he and Ash divorced.

The second marriage, to a chemist, turned out to be short-lived: the husband died in 1963, just a month after the wedding. In 1966, she married Mel Ash, and family life would last until Mel's death in 1980.

Blooming canopy

Belongs to the number of Spirits of good luck. Helps you achieve high goals and achieve success in business. It symbolizes the development of imagination and a rich spiritual world. People with the presence of such a sign in their life chart are characterized by thoughtfulness and sensitivity.

Along with this, the Blooming Canopy tells us that such a person can withdraw into himself, withdrawing from the outside world into the depths of his fantasies and thoughts.

Noble man

One of the most positive signs you can find on your Ba Zi card. It symbolizes the appearance of unexpected luck, and from the side where it is not expected at all. During the period of its influence, a person receives help from someone stronger and more experienced. The presence of this star on the life map indicates that he is truly lucky and can cope with almost any problem. He is lucky financially and easily manages to get out of difficult situations.

Flower of romance

As you might guess from its name, the flower of romance has an impact on the love side of life. However, its meaning is not always positive. If it is present on the life map in the singular and is in the right place, then it gives its owner attractiveness, sexuality and easy communication with the opposite sex. He leads a happy family life and has no problems in his personal life.

However, if his influence on a person is too strong, he can show his bad side. In particular, the abundance of the flower of romance on the Ba Zi map can develop in him such qualities as gambling, inconstancy and promiscuity. A woman in such a situation may experience relationship problems.

Symbolic star "Demon of Depression"

For men born in the year of the Goat and women born in the year of the Snake, the “Demon of Depression” comes. This means that in 2022 you may suddenly feel melancholy, sadness, melancholy, anxiety, inner restlessness, and insecurity. You should understand that this is just such a period, and it will end soon. A good way to neutralize this energy is to keep a gratitude journal, every evening find 3-5 moments that happened well during the day. Plan more often events that improve your mood and bring happiness and joy. Walking in the sun and fresh air works universally.

traveling horse

One of the most entertaining and good symbols on the fate card. It personifies a person’s desire to constantly move forward and achieve their goals. In addition, it directly indicates frequent travel or change of residence. Therefore, having a horse is extremely useful for all those whose work involves frequent business trips. Also, depending on its combination with a particular sign, the Traveling Horse can manifest itself in slightly different ways. So, for example, if it is associated with:

• Resources - a person will easily learn and perceive new information,
• Self-expression - he will be a master at public speaking,
• Friends - he will be best suited for trips with friends,
• With money - this promises success in material terms.

Art Star

Its full name sounds like the Star of Art and Solitude. It characterizes introverted people with an extremely reserved and secretive character. Along with these, they are quite talented by nature and are often fond of art. Most often present in the cards of people of creative professions who have excellent taste and refined manners.

If it is present in the earthly branch of the day or hour, this indicates that such a person has certain difficulties with personal relationships and creating a family. Even if he gets married, it will be difficult for him to pay due attention to his family and friends. At the same time, such people treat their significant other well and try to take care of them to the best of their ability.

Symbolic star "Sheep Knife"

For people born on the day of Yang Water, the symbolic star “Sheep Knife” comes and it can bring both positive and negative aspects. This will depend on what kind of energy birth chart you have: strong or weak. If the card is strong, then in 2020 you will be very emotional, it will be more difficult to see the real state of things and control emotions. You will need to learn to “count to 10” before reacting emotionally. If the card is weak, then the arrival of the “Sheep Knife” is favorable. A person will express his feelings, emotions, thoughts well, he will develop leadership qualities, and will be able to control the situation. If you Degenerate in the month of the Ox, then the earthly branch of the Rat is your “Heavenly Doctor” star. When this star comes, it is recommended to pay attention to your health.

Red Luan

In some interpretations of the Ba Zi card, this star is also called the Wizard of Love or the Red Phoenix. It gives a person a pleasant appearance and attractiveness. Its appearance in the Ba Zi chart indicates that a person can easily meet his soulmate and build a strong family. The period when she meets is the most favorable for starting a romantic relationship. Based on its location, a Feng Shui specialist can even suggest where exactly you should look for your future life partner.

Neutral characters

Warrior

The Warrior Star indicates that a person is fair, honest, defends the rights of other people, and fights manifestations of evil.

Of course, not all Ba Zi stars are listed, but only the main ones. They appear in most people's charts. It is important to understand that you need to look at the map and make it only based on the complex of stars, since they influence each other and can have additional effects, depending on the person’s complete map.

The same symbol, adjacent to other stars, can become both a positive and negative vector in the fate of an individual. But more often, the general characteristics of a star come true, since they influence the fate and actions of every person.

Most often found in life cards of high officials and military generals.
