Since time immemorial, human beings have been dreaming of reaching the sky, but to be more specific, astrologers and metaphysicians have been surprised by the distance to reach it and to be able to decipher the meaning of the stars that appear in the night sky. According to ancient records, the ancient Chinese believed that there was a one-to-one correspondence between the people on Earth and the stars in the sky.
The oldest systems of using stars to read the life of a human being in ancient China were founded during the Qin dynasty. It was then known as Five Star Astrology, where its approach bore a strong resemblance to its Western counterparts. However, there were discrepancies and its accuracy raised more questions than answers. The conclusion then was, at best, superficial and, at worst, an ironic piece of work.
This led to further investigation and revealed two different lines of thought on this Destiny topic.
Both schools of thought generally agreed that the Qi (loosely translated as “Vital Life Force”) present at birth determines a person’s life. The Bazi or the Four Pillars of Fate presented to the world by Xu Zi Ping explained that Qi in terms of aspects of the Five Elements and everything in our livelihood revolves around it and is subject to its continuous balancing influence at the decennial, yearly , monthly, daily and double. hourly levels as governed by their respective Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches in the respective person’s predetermined DNA at birth.
The other school of thought is called Zi Wei Dou Shou. In modern day interpretation, it may be loosely called Purple Star or Emperor Astrology. In short, it is also popularly called Zi Wei Astrology.” Zi Wei”, also an Emperor Star, is a constellation of Stars in the sky or Heaven. “Dou” is another way of calling it Star in the Chinese context. “Shu” means Calculation, Interpretation or simply Guessing Numbers. The ancient Chinese professed that each event corresponds to a number. If one can find the number by calculation, then it is believed that we will have control in our hands. Thus, the whole descriptive name of “Zi Wei Dou Shu” advocates a way of understanding the stars and directed by Zi Wei to find the Divination number that reveals everything we want to know about our past, present and future.
It is difficult to trace who the original founder of Zi Wei Dou Shu is. Historical records and the thesis date back to the Taoist master Chen Xi Yi during the early Sung dynasty (AD 960 – 1127). Subsequently, two versions were discovered. Briefly, they were: The Complete Zi Wei Dou Shu Manual and The Complete Zi Wei Dou Shu Collections. Therefore, there were variations in interpretation techniques, although it still happens with the same result.
Some Chinese metaphysical scholars or practitioners believe that the stars used in Zi Wei Dou Shu are actual stars in the Universe with different degrees of intensity and thus their influence on humans. While others believe that they are simply special galaxies of energies that exist in the Universe. As there is an unlimited number of stars in the Universe, the stars used in Zi Wei Dou Shu can range from 26 to over a hundred depending on different schools and their respective teaching methodologies.
The fact that the stars have been personified by both practitioners and scholars with their own reasoning and research findings enlightened them for a long period of time; otherwise, challenging it would be a futile attempt on the part of modern practitioners and scholars, as they have been shown to be effective in cracking our own “da vinci codes” of livelihood.
Whether these stars are real or just virtual energies is irrelevant as long as we can translate it into something meaningful and use this knowledge to understand how it can affect the human mind, human action and reaction, moral standards, the prosperous state of affairs. , joy and melancholy, good and not so good.
The theoretical principles and foundations may seem rudimentary if you already had basic metaphysical knowledge built from other topics such as Feng Shui or Geomancy, Bazi or Four Pillars, Qi Men Dun Jia, Liu Ren. During that precise moment of birth, these stars are believed to simultaneously enter the human body and become the person’s implanted nature. This may seem like a stretch for most people to accept such fairy tale descriptions of how life is created. In the wake of this “new life”, these implanted stars will influence different aspects of life differently at different times throughout their life journey.
Interestingly, this explanation matches real life in how much we resemble our parents in personality, character, habits, achievements, and how we live our daily lives. It is highly unlikely that one would have a DNA or Zi Wei Dou Shu Diagram similar to either of our parents. In this illustration, one will agree that we do not necessarily inherit our character, nature, personality to the “T” from our parents, although there is some degree of appearance in behavior, but the norms are likely to be remote in higher percentages of the most cases of family relations.
At first, a Zi Wei chart was popularly constructed in a circular shape. Later, it has evolved into a square or rectangular format, which is more of a personal preference than a standard to adopt. Essentially, the twelve palaces there describe twelve aspects of a person’s life. The relative positions of the palaces are important and useful in interpretation, especially in determining whether a particular life event will materialize on good or not-so-good terms.
There is a body palace that is not one of the twelve palaces and can reside in one of the following palaces: Life/Fate, Spouse/Marriage, Wealth/Eating, Travel/Outdoors, Career/Activity, Virtue/Happiness/Karmic . The Body Palace cannot reside in the other six remaining palaces.
The Body Palace has a special dimension. Most of the ancient Chinese believe in reincarnation. What it means in simple terms is: “The soul of a living being does not die after the body dies. The energy has to go through another life and another endless life. In each life, this soul gained additional wisdom. For some earned more, while others may earn less. Some souls might deteriorate while others reached higher rungs in the progression of wisdom. Ultimately, it is how one lives their life. Thus, the current soul of a living person it is affected by the way one lives his life, previous life.
In this case, the location of the body’s palaces in any of the six palaces mentioned above has a certain degree of importance and also explains why in our current life, we have a strong tendency to pay more attention to certain aspects of our life. in certain areas while we naturally neglect certain areas which in turn affects our general well-being and our chosen path in our current destination.
Just a simple example to illustrate. If one’s body palace is located in the career/activity palace, this person considers career to be the most important thing and is likely to spend a lot of time on it as his/her life mission and he/she is 100% Organization/Legal person. Her life revolves around that, no less. However, if the stars inherent in him do not have a favorable aspect, he is likely to experience upheavals and challenges in the affairs of his relationship. The intensity will be caused by the movement of time throughout its lifetime.
This begs the question, “What can I do about it after I know my default destination?” There will be many questions after questions. Although one may already know the answers, but a high percentage of 90+ will choose to ignore it as if it weren’t going to happen to them and would just want to continue in dream state mode until the harsh reality sets in and then desperately seek help as a patient. with end-stage cancer.
At the end of the day, the choice is still in our hands. The miracle can only happen if we know in advance about the probable situation and do something about it now that it is too late to alter the course of future events or to avoid possible future pitfalls in life, especially if it can be altered through the one’s positive actions and thought processes to imitate behaviors and habits that will bring one closer to the desired result. To be forewarned is to be prepared in advance.
May Success, Prosperity and Harmony be contagious in your Life.
