The study of the destiny of Zi Wei Dou Shu is another main branch of Chinese astrology along with Bazi or the four pillars that the ancient Chinese used to reveal their predestined affinities by applying their techniques to improve their general well-being, either to personal advantage, commercial and daily level. In short, Zi Wei Astrology allows us to better understand and optimize our lives in each phase or episode during its journey of success and trepidation.
Zi Wei astrology is different from divination, like the I-Ching and Bazi. Zi Wei astrology has been widely practiced in ancient China, especially during the Song and Miing dynasties. Zi Wei can be translated as “Purple Star” or “Emperor Star” and Astrology means “Interpretation using esoteric techniques”.
The main focus of Zi Wei astrology is to study a person’s destiny based on the motion of various stars and the location of the star Zi Wei within twelve different palaces, houses, or quadrants.
The variation in the methodology to calculate the destiny of the person is different from one school to another. For example, there are northern and southern schools as well as different variation techniques adopted for calculation and interpretation.
Zi Wei Astrology uses calculations of a person’s year, month, date, and time of birth to locate the stars within twelve different palaces. The chart that is built forms the person’s personalized Destiny Chart and this chart corresponds to the “ups and downs” of the person’s entire life as they unfold throughout their life.
The next step after building the custom Destiny Table is to understand the meaning of the twelve palaces. And then move on to understanding the broad and narrow definition of the stars as well as seeking a greater understanding of the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches in each of their respective palaces, houses or quadrants.
The five elements with their generation and control cycle principles cannot be overstated when used in combination of interpreting a probable event or projected outcome, either on a personal or business level. Because it can put one in a pathetic or triumphant state of mind.
Another interesting factor is the time of birth. By knowing this, one can already deduce one’s orientation in life and what is closely held in his heart and mind. Therefore, knowing what double hour is born can provide an indicative perspective of the “general mindset” of the person.
In this Zi Wei Astrology system, the palaces can change or rotate, but the stars within each palace, house, or quadrant remain. It is similar in analogy to traveling by train. When one begins a journey such as from birth, moving from “station to station” in life as it progresses, the views outside the train window change as one remains on the moving train until reaching the final destination. , which means it ends here. of one’s journey or life.
Therefore, the 12 standard stations or stages are: Fate Palace where the initial luck cycle varies for each person, so there is a palace before destiny where one begins life. Next is the palace of the brothers, if there are any to start the interaction with them and this can also include the companions. Third comes the spouse’s palace, which is based on ancient Chinese tradition, one is established first before greater responsibilities fall on them. Fourth, according to ancient tradition, having children is the married couple’s next first responsibility and obligation to continue the descendant tree.
Fifth, it will be necessary to feed the family where it is represented by the palace of wealth. The sixth is the palace of health, where health is paramount for everyone, especially one has to find ways to bring more wealth to the family. This can affect one’s health. This is what midlife crisis means according to the modern interpretation.
Seventh, is the palace of travel or relocation, where you have to make frequent trips away from home to look for new opportunities since the demand for a better life justifies your means. Eighth, it is the palace of friends where unity and socialization will be sought to build strategic bridges or alliances in order to obtain a greater advantage in life. Ninth, one will be in the palace of the race, where the construction of a commercial fortune or an empire acquires its full extension. Tenth, one’s property will be improved and may be in fixed asset related matters, including purchasing a second property or renovating the current property to accommodate the growing population at home. Eleventh, this is the withdrawal phase or the stage of happiness or some interpretation of the label as karmic palace. Although one does eventually retire, whether one is in a happy, melancholic, or charitable state of mind will largely depend on how one lives during the last ten palaces of a person’s life. Final stage, Palace of Parents / Ancestors / Elders where they return to the embrace of the source in search of protection, support and care. Therefore, to be warned is to predict, which is what one can influence, depending on his action and approach to life, the probable end result.
One of the important principles of interpretation with high precision is the understanding of the meaning of the stars that appear in different palaces. Although there are many stars to consider, experience tells us that fourteen main stars and their supplementary stars will suffice without bringing the auxiliary stars into the mix for a generally correct interpretation. Unless finer aspects are required, then auxiliary stars could be added to bring out “more flavors” to the dish. An analogy would be: there are main stars and co-stars in the movie and they can bring up the plots and theme of the show or story when they are in a different scene or “palace”. Auxiliary stars are like extras or stunt performers, when appropriate they are included in the mix, to add more flavors or spice up the excitement. And the person is the producer and director of his own movie.
This is simply amazing, especially when one can take a look at their own future and find out early in life how it may evolve over time. This is synonymous with allowing one to make the “right” decision in different circumstances, so that one can achieve optimal prosperity and harmony at different stages of life.
May success, prosperity and harmony be contagious in your life.
