What is a Bazi card?
Each of us has a personal code embedded in our birth chart,” says the ancient Chinese art of Bazi. The art of Bazi is a harmonious system of energy distribution in space, which is built on the interaction of elements in nature. The five elements, or five elements: Earth, Fire, Wood, Water and Metal, form the basis of this interaction.
All five elements interact with each other in a special way. For example: Wood feeds Fire and Fire burns brighter. Water irrigates the Tree and the Tree lives and grows, the Earth gives birth to Metal, which is in its depths, Metal melts under Fire and beautiful products are obtained.
All five elements nourish, weaken or control each other. A fantastic philosophy that allows every phenomenon and every person to find their place in space. Each of us has an energy code from birth. It is written in eight Chinese characters, which are called "Ba Zi" in Chinese. Each pair of hieroglyphs represents the hour, day, month and year of birth. Together they form the so-called energy matrix of the personality. It is called the code of fate.
Some elements in the Bazi chart may be strongly expressed, others may be weakened or may be completely absent. Balance, the balance of the elements predetermines an easy path in life, good health, and good character. A pronounced imbalance of energies in a chart may indicate a difficult life path, noticeable ups and downs, a complex character, or health problems.
Ideally, a personality’s energy map should have a relative balance of elements. But balanced cards are rare. And to regulate the balance, you need to add special actions: communicate with a certain type of people, engage in a certain type of activity, live in a certain area and eat certain foods. It improves our luck and even character.
Yin Metal
This personality type is usually associated with metal jewelry.
People of this type are not as tough and uncompromising as Yang Metal. But many of the qualities of the Steel People can be traced even in the weakest, not supported by the related elements of Yin Metal.
What first catches your eye when you first meet a Person – Decoration?
These are very nice, polite, but somewhat cool people who do not like to call anyone “bunnies” and “fish” and at the first meeting will switch to “you” only if a new acquaintance insists. They always keep their distance and do not like to be frank and “fraternize” at the first meeting.
As a rule, these are very elegant and well-groomed people, with beautiful skin and a toned figure. They love to dress beautifully, paying attention to the little things in their clothes and in their appearance. It’s rare to see a Metal woman without makeup and a man in wrinkled or dirty clothes. Even at home, Yin Metal strives to look as if he is about to go on a date.
The flip side of this personality trait is an obsession with one’s appearance and image. The desire to shine and make an impression can leave dissatisfaction and emptiness in the souls of those around you, as if there was a small marmalade in a chic box of chocolates. But such extremes are typical only for those people whose Yin Metal is too clearly expressed and prevails over the other elements in the Bazi chart, and who do not think about self-improvement and eradicating their shortcomings.
Neatness and love of order are one of the most pronounced traits of this personality type. But Yin Metal makes high demands not only on clothing. In all other respects, he also strives for order and system. For these people, everything is systematized, laid out on shelves and strictly dosed. They love discipline and sometimes create conditions of existence for themselves that, for example, would seem like hard labor to a freedom-loving Tree. A clear daily routine, food restrictions, and some asceticism are very characteristic of a typical Metal person.
They live by their own principles and rules, which they do not like to break and do not like when someone interferes with the clearly constructed symmetry of their life.
Yin Metal people are usually very fair and truthful. They do not flatter, do not ingratiate themselves, and do not make promises if they are not sure that they can fulfill what they promised. And they value the same qualities in people. If they don’t like something, they are not afraid to express everything they think, regardless of ranks and levels. Such actions are not always for the benefit of themselves and those around them, but the need to restore justice and truth exceeds everything else.
People of this type, just like Yang Metal, are difficult to convince of anything and force them to abandon their principles. But, unlike its Yang brother, Yin Metal is not so independent and stubborn, not so “steel” and hard. He easily obeys because he is afraid of responsibility. He gets along with people easier because he is more sociable. And very often he needs a strong partner nearby, for example, Yang Metal or Yang Earth. Otherwise, he has few opportunities to show all his beauty and brilliance. If Yin Metal has the element of Yang Metal in the pillars of fate, then such a person becomes more independent, independent and successful.
Yin Metal needs to strive at the very beginning of life to build their life in such a way as not to engage in dirty and hard work.
After all, diamonds delight only when they are set in gold and twinkle in the light of spotlights or candles. And a rough diamond in a pile of ore is difficult to notice, even if its weight exceeds a dozen carats.
A few keywords to describe the features of this type:
Pride, independence, luck, caution, gentleness, sincerity, fidelity, a penchant for order, consistency, fairness, honesty, neatness, elegance, grooming, curiosity, laziness, secrecy, indecisiveness, materialism, greed, dependence, lack of independence, slander, incitement, fanfare, love external effects, isolation, arrogance, loneliness, sadness, melancholy, depression.
Compatibility with other personality types.
When analyzing how different people can get along with each other, and how favorable their union is for a particular activity, it should be borne in mind that when analyzing compatibility, not only interaction by personality type is taken into account. There are a lot of subtleties for such an analysis. However, if you seriously want to learn to understand Ba Tzu, it is very important to pay attention to these indicators.
If in the Ba-Tzu charts of partners all the elements are more or less balanced, then the possible partnership options given here will most often manifest themselves in exactly this way.
If there is a certain imbalance of energies, then everything, of course, will develop according to a different scenario. For example, Yin Metal usually does not get along with Yin Fire, but if the Metal is very strong, supported by related elements and the season of birth, and Yin Fire is very hot and needs to give up its excess heat, then this union can be useful for both partners. Thanks to a partner, a Person - Jewelry can become a truly luxurious piece of jewelry, which others will admire and will be willing to pay fabulous sums to own.
The most harmonious union of a typical Yin Metal is with Yang Fire . In the rays of the Sun, Metal shines and attracts attention, and the Sun gladly gives its light and warmth to others. An excellent option is for a Yin Metal woman to marry a Yang Fire man. This chic pair will be almost perfect.
with Yin Fire can develop in different ways. For a union to be successful, many other aspects in the horoscope must coincide. But still, despite the opposition of the elements, according to the Wu Xing theory, every Metal in its life must necessarily intersect with Yin Fire. But no matter how this relationship turns out and no matter what mark it leaves on the soul, Metal will benefit from this communication.
Yang Earth often has a good relationship with Yin Metal. The earth in such a union acts as a mother, patron, supporting and helping. In family relationships, most often both are satisfied with this option for the development of relationships, regardless of which partner is a man and which is a woman.
With Yin Earth, everything also usually works out more or less well, if the Metal is not too strong, and the Earth is supported by related elements and the season of birth. Otherwise, Metal will use the Earth shamelessly, and for her such a union can become a real test.
It is very good if a Yang Metal partner appears in the life of Yin Metal. Yang Metal does not burden such a union, it makes it somewhat softer, but Yin Metal needs strong support, for which role Man-Steel is most suitable.
At the personal level, two Yin Metals easily find a common language. But a closer partnership is unlikely to be productive. Carelessness and shifting worries onto each other can lead to very disastrous consequences. There is hope for an acceptable union if only one of the partners is well supported by Yang Metal or Yang Earth and the element of Fire is present in the cards of the partners.
According to the theory of the generation of elements, Metal and Water are related elements, and they must understand and feel each other well. But typical Yang Water is too powerful. It will be difficult for Yin Metal to cope with such power. He needs something calmer and more balanced. He will not find support in the society of Water; she will not let him shine.
At the personal level, Man-Ornament and Yin Water understand and feel each other well. But for such an alliance to be promising and not burdensome for both partners, Yin Metal must be strong, and Yin Water must be weak, in need of support. Strong Metal and Water will “freeze” in each other’s company, and Metal will be concerned that it cannot demonstrate all its strengths.
In order for the relationship between Yin Metal and Yang Wood to develop harmoniously, many other factors must coincide in the horoscope. Most often, typical representatives of these personality types have difficult and burdensome relationships.
Yin Metal is the main enemy of Yin Wood . Of course, there is harmony in this union, but this is the exception rather than the rule. In this union, the Yin Tree suffers more, although it also happens that the Yin Tree, thanks to the Yin Metal, becomes more successful and beautiful.
Character according to the Bazi map
In China they say: “As much as new things come in, so much old things must go away.” The weak must be strengthened, the strong must be weakened. As a result, we get a balance. You can find out which element is the leading one, what strengthens you personally, by calculating your Bazi card.
People with strong Wood energy are sociable and ambitious. They like to plan everything. They are good friends because they are generous and generous.
Fire people are born leaders, they are emotional and passionate, they know how to convince and inspire others. They are loving, full of enthusiasm and always remain young at heart.
The people of Earth are reliable and thorough. They are patient, caring and strong. They are practical and have a gentle sense of humor. They are often stubborn, but they are able to start a job and see it through to the end.
Water people give fullness and natural smoothness and ductility. Water people are very musical. They are innately intuitive, emotional, sensitive and have many talents.
Metal people are distinguished by ambition and determination. They believe in themselves and take themselves seriously. They are naturally independent and do not like to take orders from others. They are usually lucky with money.
Yin or yang?
The second important point in understanding your own energy is understanding your Yin or Yang polarity.
Yang is active energy, masculine, light. This is the sky, sun, fire, summer, warmth. Yin is passive energy, feminine, dark, soft. These are the earth, the moon, cold, water.
Let me give you an example. The girl Svetlana contacted me to draw up a Bazi map. Svetlana is an active, purposeful and energetic girl. The question that was important to her was whether she was suppressing her husband with her activity. After analyzing her chart, it turned out that her personality belongs to Yin energy, and the rest of the elements are represented by Yang energies. Her husband is also a Yin person. The answer was: yes, in the external environment she can realize her yang resource and achieve her goals in work and business. But at home, in the family, it is important to follow your Yin nature and give primacy to your husband.
Weakness or strength?
The third point that the Bazi card reflects is a weak or strong personality. Weakness is not interpreted literally, but only shows that a person gives more than he receives. For example, Nadezhda is a doctor. Her element is Yang Wood, in her Bazi chart there is a lot of Wood and Fire, but no Water at all. Nadezhda literally burns herself out in life, devotes herself entirely to her patients and her profession, does it with great pleasure, has a large, strong family and loving relationships. But she constantly feels empty and energetically weak. That is, for balance, she simply needs Water - to be near the water, add water to the interior of the house, have a hobby from the element of Water, take time for herself, and fill herself up.
Another example. A mother asked that her son, having excellent abilities, could not realize himself in life. The energy of the son’s BaZi card is strong Earth, a lot of Fire, which makes it very resourceful, but there is no Metal in the card at all. That is, his Earth does not produce the required element. It is necessary to add Metal to life, weaken the Earth, concentrate on self-expression and then the energies will be balanced.
Earth in Bazi
Ba-Tzu, Feng Shui and all Chinese metaphysics are built on the same laws of interaction of energies. The basic principles are the interaction of yin/yang and the five elements. The five elements in Bazi (Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal and Water) are represented through the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches>>, on which the Chinese calendar is built. Having built our Bazi card using the Chinese calendar or one of the online calculators>>, we first look at how much of which element it contains, which already gives us some understanding about our personality, possible career, health and much more.
Destination according to the Bazi map
Using the Bazi map you can find out prospects in work, business, and career.
Let me give you an example. Alexander worked for a long time as a hired top manager in the company. I asked to create my own business. Alexander’s energy is strong Fire, there is a lot of Metal and Wood in the chart, which means for him that he can not only create, but also maintain a business.
Men's requests for the Bazi card are always very specific - business, money, power. And by the way, business is not useful to everyone: if there is no element in the card that represents money, then it is preferable to focus on work that requires either diligence or creativity. Women are more concerned about other issues - relationships and children. Using the cards, you can make predictions about how family life and relationships with partners will develop.
A story that might not have happened if Elena had sought advice in time. Elena's husband is a successful businessman and has his own construction company. Happy marriage, daughter, full house, real estate abroad. Lena did not work, she took care of her family. For a change, she asked her husband to create a small beautiful business for her. The new business captivated her, showed her extraordinary abilities, but destroyed her marriage. A year later, the husband left for another woman, although he continued to provide for the family financially. Lena was categorically forbidden to mind her own business; in her chart there was a special combination of elements, which the Chinese call “husband killer”; moreover, unfavorable elements came from outside and further strengthened her aggressive self-expression. Yes, her business is thriving now, but her husband needed another woman who wanted to enjoy life, not work.
Yin Metal, Yin Metal.
The most important element in the Ba Tzu chart is the Personality Element . This is the core of a person, his essence, his innermost content.
This is the indicator by which the entire horoscope is built.
Although the first impression that is created about a person most often corresponds to the description of the characteristics of the animal year of birth , and not to this indicator.
Imagine that the company you work for gets a new employee.
Even at the stage of hiring him, competent employees will evaluate him and decide whether he fits the available vacancy.
For example, if a person was born in the year of the Fire Dragon, then it is unknown whether he will be hired if they are looking for responsible and conscientious workers who know how to obey for the vacant position. It is most often difficult for a typical Dragon to make such an impression at the first meeting. In this case, preference will be given, for example, to Roosters or Bulls.
But if a company is looking for charismatic and creative people, then HR managers will take the Dragon’s candidacy much more seriously. In this case, the taciturn Ox or the pedantic Rooster will not make the right impression.
When a new person begins to get acquainted with the team, he still makes the first impression in accordance with his year of birth .
The year of birth shows how a person relates to people in general and how others perceive him when they first meet. It matters what year the horoscope rules. So, the Tiger can be Fire, Earth, Metal, Water, Wood.
For example, a person with the Yang Tree Personality element, born in the year of the Wood Rooster, in the eyes of others will look like a debater, a person who easily makes enemies. And a Yang Tree person who was born, for example, in the year of the Fire Dragon, will give the impression of a self-confident, influential and talented person. Read more…
Money in the Bazi card
But what if there is no monetary energy in the personality chart? Does this mean that there is no chance of material wealth?
The so-called correction of the elements helps here. Either we add the missing element of money into our lives, or we surround ourselves with people who bring us the energy of money. We also use the coming periods of good luck. But there are also money lucky ones! There are six elements of wealth in the chart of Olga, the head of the company. Rare card! Olga is simply swimming in money; the business is stable and has been developing for ten years. This is such money luck!
Or sometimes a woman's chart has four elements of her husband and it turns out that the lady is married for the fourth time, happy in her fourth marriage and has finally met the love of her life!
