About Spouse

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.

EPL - January 2022 - Southampton vs Man City

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?

My $10 investment yielded $60 return. A 500% profit overnight. 
How did I do it again? Favorable Rob Wealth.

About Wealth in Feng Shui

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.

About Date Selection

There are 2 known methods for Date Selection: 12 Day Officers and Personalized one.

The 12 Day Officers system has 12 rotating days, and each day is normally suitable or unsuitable for certain activities. 

I normally do not use 12 Day Officers system, because it's too generic.  Let me give you a couple of examples:

Example 1:
On a good day according to the 12 Day Officers; Person A, Person B, Person C all attending a job interview. Only one person gets the job. So is it a good day? It's a good day for Person A that got the job, but it's a bad day for Person B and Person C who don't get the job.

Example 2:
On a bad day according to the 12 Day Officers; 8 runners competing for a gold medal. Person A gets gold medal, Person B gets silver medal and Person C gets bronze medal. The other 5 runners don't get any medals. So is it a bad day? It's a bad day for the 5 that don't get any medals, but it's a good day for the 3 that get the medals.

In every given day, there are winners and losers in every aspect of life.

That's why I normally use Personalized Date Selection, because a day can be great for someone with a certain birth chart, while totally awful for another person with a different chart.

Personalized Date Selection is based on someone's birth chart, so a good day for each individual is different.

EPL Aug 2021 - Southampton vs Man Utd

Man Utd were hot favorite because they beat Southampton 9-0 in season 2020-2021. They also beat Leeds 5-1 in the first game of season 2021-2022. With their top players Paul Pogba and Bruno Fernandes in form, most people predicted that it would be an easy win for Man Utd.

But I knew it wouldn't be like that. I placed a small bet on draw.
It's just a small bet because the purpose is just to test Rob Wealth factor.

The result? It's 1-1 draw.

How did I know? Favorable Rob Wealth in my chart.
Favorable Rob Wealth means natural talent in speculative things.

EPL Aug 2021 - Tottenham vs Man City

Man City won the English Premier League title for the season 2020/2021, and they are the journalists' hot favorite to retain the title for 2021/2022. Man City just spent £100 million on Jack Grealish in this new season, and they are trying to get Harry Kane, last season's top goalscorer from Tottenham Hotspurs. Harry Kane himself isn't playing in this game because he came back late from his holiday. So Man City was the hot favorite for this game. A huge majority predict Man City would win easily.

I placed a small bet before the match on Tottenham Hotspurs (the non-favorite). It's just for fun, so no major bets.

The result? Tottenham Hotspurs beat the favorite Man City 1-0, even when Tottenham's best player Harry Kane not playing.

On this one, I didn't use QMDJ to predict the result. I just use my favorable Rob Wealth in my chart.
People that have favorable Rob Wealth in their chart have a knack of getting gambling luck.

It's not about your chart, it's how you use it

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.
