Introduction
Chinese believe there are several factors can affect one's destiny and life,
they are:
1) Fate
2) Destiny
3) Feng Shui
4) Doing worthy deed
5) Study
The value of fourth and fifth factors are shared by most of cultural systems
over the world. From the first to third factors, Chinese have their unique
perspectives and these perspectives have being affecting the Chinese for
thousand years. In certain degrees, most Chinese are influenced by fatalism.
However, the Chinese are not negative fatalists. We believe, although we cannot
alter the congenital fate(Ba Zi, Birth Date), we can promote or improve our
destiny through Astrology(Feng Shui, Fortune Telling) approach.
Chinese astrology is related to the Chinese calendar, particularly its 12-year
cycle of animals (Chinese Zodiac Sign), and the fortune-telling aspects
according to movement of heavenly bodies across the Chinese constellations in
the sky and individual
Ba Zi. These interact each other to affect the individual
destiny from time to time.
The two main branches of Chinese Fortune Telling are:
The Zi Wei Dou Shu, which builds and studies a chart containing dozens of
energies.
The Ba Zi, or The Four Pillars of the Destiny, which studies the polarity
Yin/Yang and the elements of the Year, Month, Day and Hour of Birth.
Besides, the
Naming Study is another kind of Chinese Astrology. To Chinese, the
name is never a simply code. A good name assigned to a person according to his
Ba Zi can promote his good destiny as well as offset his bad luck. On a bad
inconsistent to one's
Ba Zi can deteriorate one's bad luck and counteract his
good luck. If someone is being encompassed by unlucky stuffs, he may try to look
into his name is conflicting to his
Ba Zi, if so he can look for a Feng Shui
Master's opinion for alteration his name.
