Man City were unbeaten in the Premier League for more than 15 matches. Tottenham just lost 3 games in a row. Man City were hot favourites.
I placed a small bet on Tottenham to win. The result?
Tottenham beat Man City 3-2. Everyone was surprised but I was not surprised.
The $10 investment yielded $105 return overnight.
The old theory said Direct Officer is the Spouse for woman, and Direct Wealth is the Spouse for man. However, there are examples of people without Direct Wealth or Direct Officer in their charts, and they still get married.
In my opinion, that old theory was accurate for the old society. In the olden days (when BaZi was invented), an unmarried girl/woman did not go out and find dates freely. They only interacted with a male when their family arrange a wedding/engagement for them. That's why in the old days, a female meeting a Direct Officer meets meet a Spouse.
In the modern days, girls/women go out freely. Meeting a Direct Officer just means she meets potential spouse. This could be a casual date, a friend introduced by family/friends, or random encounters. In the modern days, random encounters and casual dates do not automatically translate to marriage. It just means meetings. It can (but not always) turn to a marriage.
So, don't worry if you do not have Direct Officer or Direct Wealth in your chart. In the olden days, people should worry about that, because the condition in those days (people did not mingle casually with non-family members), but we live in modern days.
My point is: BaZi needs to be used/adapted according to the time and situation.
Just reading old text (without testing), can make you get inaccurate readings. In my opinion, all theories need to be tested.
Before the game, Man City had won 12 Premier League games in a row. They were top of the table by some distance, 32 points ahead of Southampton. Southampton were 13th on the table.
Man City were the hot favorite in this game. Many journalists, fans, and bettors thought this would be an easy game for Man City to win and extend their winning run. Bookies gave very high odds for Southampton to draw or win.
But I believed that Southampton could hold them to a draw. I have favorable Rob Wealth in my chart, which is favorable for gambling instinct. I put a small bet on Draw.
The result?
Many beginners think that if they activate Wealth Star, then they'll automatically get wealthy. This is incorrect.
The Ancient Chinese like to use hyperbolic words to exaggerate things. For example: they always said "Wan Sui" to the Emperor, which means: "Ten Thousands Years". This does not mean that they expected the Emperor to live or reign for 10,000 years. The more apt interpretation to English is something like "Long Live the Emperor!"
Back to Wealth Star, it is also a hyperbolic term. In practice, Wealth Star is actually Work Star or Business Star. If you activate the Wealth Star correctly, you will get more work. For Business Owners, more work normally (but not always) means more money. For salaried employees, more work just mean ... more work 😄
There are no shortcuts in life, only in movies, books or TV shows. Some practitioners say Feng Shui is multiplier effect. You need to put something to be multiplied.
If you are prepared to work hard (more work/business, hence more money), then Feng Shui can help you to enhance/multiply your results.
If you do nothing and just dream of easy money, then you won't get any results.
There are certain birth charts that have windfall luck, but that's a different topic.
