For countless generations throughout China and Asia, people have been drawn to the Four Pillars system for its accurate method of divination. Commonly known as Eight Characters or Chinese Astrology, this system has been practiced in market places by fortune tellers, in institutions of learning by scholars and most notably by leading officials in the imperial courts of China.

Even today this ancient system of divination still allows an experienced practitioner to analyze many aspects of one’s life such as health, wealth, career and love. In fact the destiny blueprint each of us receive at birth can be used to reveal options and paths that we can act upon during good and bad times, to understand why we connect with certain people and to evaluate what we are truly capable of achieving in our life.

The year, month, day and hour of our birth are the fundamental building blocks of our destiny blueprint or Birth Chart. Identifying the leading forces or Cosmic Flow within this Birth Chart then helps us to go with the flow and enjoy greater harmony, well-being and success. Furthermore the principles of Yin and Yang and the Five Element Theory are crucial to an accurate understanding of the cosmic energy of our lives. This energy is never stagnant and is subject to changes not only in our Luck Cycle, but also each year from annual influences.

Destiny Analysis

The Four Pillars system allows us to determine the strengths and weaknesses in our destiny and the Luck Cycles that are encountered over the course of a lifetime. In so doing we can illuminate which cycles are more favorable and which are more difficult. With this information we can then identify potential situations and decide how best to negotiate these periods. Are they times of growth where we can proceed confidently, or are they more challenging times where we need to show more care, caution and discretion?

Please note that your report is not computer generated, but rather it is personally researched and prepared by an experienced practitioner.

Information required prior to Four Pillars Consultation:

• Year, month, day and time (if known) of birth

Date Selection

The selection of an auspicious date is based on the Chinese Hsia Calendar and Almanac or Tung Shu. Picking a good day to perform an important activity such as a marriage, engagement, job application, business transaction, launch of a new product, signing of a document, travel or moving into a new house not only helps to create potential for success, but it also ensures that the event progresses more smoothly. The 12 Day Officers (建除十二神) refer to the 12 types of ch'i or energies that prevail in a given day and these are common to everybody for that particular day. However once the dynamics of your Four Pillars is known this information can be used to fine tune the selection of auspicious dates to maximize your success.
