WHAT DETERMINES OUR DESTINY?

From the viewpoint of Chinese metaphysics, everyth ing in the Universe fo llows a set of

rules which determine our fat e. The Four Pillars of Destiny is a scientiic tool used by the

Chinese to reveal the cosmic components ofeach person. This system is used in conjunction

with the ingenious Hsia Calendar (I0,OOO-year Calendar), which records the elemental

influences prevailing in our own lives at any moment.

The Hsia Calendar helps us to translate our birth data year, month, day and hour of

birth - into our Four Pillars of Destiny (also known as Eight Characters, or Ba Zi in

Chinese). Each pillar yields two elements, Heavenly Stem (HS) on top and Earthly Branches

(EB) below, thereby making up our Eight Characters.

A typical Year Pillar is expressed below:

Year 2001 (Year of Snake)

H 8 " ---- Heavenly Stem (HS)

Yin Metal

E 6 B ---- Earthly Branch (EB)

Yin Fire

From the above illustration, we can see that the year 2001 exhibits the inluence of Metal

in the Heavenly Stem and Fire in the Earthly Branch.

How does destiny analysis work? It all rests on the basic premise that the complementary

fo rces of Yin and Yang create matter an d, by extension, all living things. This matter is

divided into ive primordial elements that make up everything in the universe: Water,

Wood, Fire, Earth and Metal. They inluence everything, including human fo rtunes. Their

interactions stringently fo llow two sets of rules known as the Cycle of Birth and the Cycle

of Destruction. Understanding these relationships allows us to decipher our birth data and

unveil our hidden destiny buried within. This is done by reading the Four Pillars in

accordance with these two sets of ru les.

This enables you to evaluate a person's character, appearance, behaviour, family and social

relationships, potential, achievements, health and wealth, etc. It also allows you to pinpoint

when your potential in a particular area of your life will peak, right down to the day! On

top ofthat, auspicious dates fo r various social unctions or events can be selected to enhance

your good fortune or ward off bad luck .

As can be seen, the Four Pillars of Destiny lets us detennine the srengths and weaknesses

in our destiny, and the ups nd downs of our Luck Cycles. We are thus able to tweak our

destiny and manipulate our fortunes to our advntage.

Luck Cycle

The years of good luck a person enjoys duing his life span is expressed by another set of

pillars known as the Luck Pillars. Our Luck Cycle can be revealed by analysing the

interactions amongst the components of our birth data.

�l/1 Each set of Luck Pillas comprises two elements and governs 1 0 years of a person's

�! life. The Heavenly Stem covers the first five years of a Luck Pillar while the Earthly

Ta��te! Branch covers the period from the sixth to the 10th year.

According to Chinese belief, there are ive factors which puport to detennine our fate and

fortune.

(i) Destiny

Destiny is the inheritance of, and influence by, conditions already determined

at our birth.

(ii) Luck

Luck refers to variation in fortune during the different phases of our life. Even a

person blessed with a favourable destiny is subject to ups and downs.

(iii) Feng Shui

Good Feng Shui can enhance our Luck Cycle.

(iv) Philanthrophy

Our virtues and meritorious deeds directed at others and the world at large can improve

our fortune.

(v) Education

Leaning is a long-term process which betters our life chances and contributes

to our wisdom.

Destiny analysis is certainly not an easy subject. To unravel a person's fortne requires a

complex study of his date of birth, astrological sign, geographical location and the Five

Elements. In order to acquire a fair mastery of the requisite skills, one has to put in a great

deal of effort in leaning. However, as they are able to cast light on the mystery of life, the

sense of achievement and satisfaction is itself a reward.

YIN AND YANG

Yin and Yang are positive and negative forces that goven the Universe. They have their

own attributes and their own magnetic ields of energy.

In general, Yang (represented by "+") symbolises active, strong, male and positive elements

while Yin (represented by " - ") symbolises passive, weak, female, fragile and negative

elements.

The purpose of dividing elements into Yin and Yang is to distinguish between the stronger

and weaker characters. It is wrong to assume that Yang is better than Yin. Harmony and

balance must be well-maintained between these two integral forces.

For example, Yang Water is oten compared to water in the sea or ocean whereas Yin

Water usually refers to droplets of moning dew. Yang Wood is oten compared to a tall

and thick forest tree whereas Yin Wood is likened to tree branches and flower stems.

The Taiji Symbol

The Taiji is actually a sphere and there is no top or bottom. Likewise, the concept of Yin

and Yang illustrates the two sides of a single entity. They are relative and not absolute.

The two small circles indicate that everything in the Universe contains varying degrees of

Yin and Yang. Within Yin, there is a little Yang and within Yang, there is a little Yin.
