12.96 million chart possibilities, 7 billion people
Newbies commonly ask about whether they will become rich, when they will meet their soulmate, when they will marry, what type of soulmate they'll get, etc
There are only 12.96 million Ba Zi chart possibilities, while there are more than 7 billion people in this world. The Ba Zi chart only show potentials, not the end results. Two people born in exactly same hour, same day, same month and same year can have totally different lives.
To me personally, Ba Zi is a tool to find out your potentials and maximize your life, not a tool to do fortune-telling life story.
Let use some examples to explain:
Example 1: About wealth potentials
Mr A and Mr B born in the same hour, day, month and year (same chart). For this example, let's just say they don't have Wealth Stars in their chart, but they have favorable Eating God stars in their chart.
Mr A did BaZi reading and decided that he would write novels. Mr A studies about writing and does a lot of research, and he eventually writes and publishes his own books. He becomes rich.
Mr B didn't do Ba Zi reading, and he decided to be a businessman, which is not his talent. Mr B didn't become rich.
Two people with same chart, ending up differently, because they made different decisions about what to do with their lives. It's not about your chart, it's about how you use it.
Example 2: About happiness potentials
Miss C and Miss D born in the same hour, day, month, year (same chart).
Miss C doesn't understand the importance of Ba Zi chart compatibility for potential partners, so she often has relationship problems. She thinks that's how her life should be.
Miss D chooses a potential partner based on his chart compatibility with her chart. She decides to enter a relationship with someone whose chart has strong compatibility with hers. She has a very happy relationship.
Two people with same chart, ending up differently, because they made different decisions about what to do with their lives. It's not about your chart, it's about how you use it.
Example 3: About timing
Mr E and Mr F born in the same hour, day, month, year (same chart). Let's just say they're both investors.
Mr E doesn't care about Ba Zi chart. He invests in a year that's not favorable for him to do investment. He suffers a loss.
Mr F invests on a favorable year based on his Ba Zi chart. His investment gains good profit.
Two people with same chart, ending up differently, because they made different decisions about what to do with their lives. It's not about your chart, it's about how you use it.
It's not about your chart, it's about how you use it.
With those examples above, I'm sure you get the idea. Once again: It's not about your chart, it's about how you use it.
