Four Pillars of Destiny - Ba Zi

Sometimes we can hear or read a sentence: Being in a right time, in the right place and doing proper things - this is Good Feng Shui. But what does it mean? How can we know that this is the right time and place and how can we know that these are the proper things? Many people ask that kind of questions. Sometimes we have an impression that we did something at inappropriate time, that we could wait or sped up the action.
This is a good place for studying the 4 Pillars of Destiny ( Ba Zi ). The Ba Zi or if you want - the 4 Pillar of Destiny - it's an ancient Chinese Metaphysics, knowledge which contain very effective, and powerful techniques, thanks to which we can get to know our personal talents, personal profiling, structure of our being or we can accomplish an individual analysis of our personality, needs, inclinations. We can also get to know what disturb us in a way to our aim and what is our natural property, what can help us to achieve success and what should we leave and do it later. We can get to know what exactly "Wealth" is for us, what the best relationship would be, who we are and what our needs are, what can we do to feel more realized, happier. These and many more things are the subject of analyses of the 4 Pillars of Destiny. We can discover our lot and destiny to a certain degree and fallow them. The 4 Pillars ( Ba Zi ) will tell us which elements are the components of our nature. They will tell us about specific combination which consists on our individuality, because people are different. Even if we have the same graph of Pillars, but we live in a different conditions. Things which are good for one person, don't have to be good for the other, because we differ from each other, we are different. We often just don't know who we are.

The Ba Zi allow us to recognize our secret talents, about existence we just don't know but using it can completely change our lot and make our life easy. Instead of going up a hill, we can easily, by making use of our ability, go forward. When we will get to know a time cycle which rules our life, we can also get to know our potential which is hidden in our individual life and use it for our success or success of other people. Exploration of these cycles plays very important role in this, interesting technique, but more suitable is to use a definition - knowledge. We are used to treat Feng Shui or Chinese Astrology not very seriously, because we get this informations in that form from books and articles. The truth is that people need a few years to posses this knowledge... Feng Shui - it's not a game in which we put and hang up some things, but it's a very deep analysis of a place where we live or work. Chinese Astrology - it's not a forecast and fortune-telling, although it's a part of astrology, but first of all it's a knowledge about us, analysis of our personality and abilities...

If we use the 4 Pillars of destiny we will be in a good position to make a decision or to apply appropriate action, because we will know what is really important in that moment and what can wait, because the time is not right. Ba Zi will help us to increase our possibility to achieve a success in every sphere of our life - it can be a career, relationships, business or something else, because everything has its time and place. When we do something in a right time we increase our chance of achieving a success. From the other side we can decrease obstacles which impede us a realization of our aims. It's obvious that if we get to know our destiny or path that we want to pace in our life, it will be much easier. It's like a race swim.

Chinese Astrology is high-developed and exact science, which through the years of the history and using it in normal life, proved it's high position and efficiency. Chinese Astrology - it's not only a trick of reading from stars or forecasting of the future, because it came to our country with that kind of label, but thanks to it's developed theory it enables practices to be something more than just "foretelling the future". It enables us to discover some secrets of our existence. Sometimes the Ba Zi is called 8 Characters. This science allow us to get to know better the structure of our relationships with other people, because when we discover our nature we begin to understand it better. The Ba Zi let us understand our relationships, but not like our destiny but like an event that happens in our life. Each relationship means something and it should teach us something. If we understand our being we will understand other people better.

The Ba Zi - it's discovering our individuality. It's understanding the areas of our weakness and strength. It's a knowledge about obstacles and challenges which we can encounter on our way. This knowledge should help us to make the most of our time. This is how we can participate in our lot in a more consciously way. We can be conscious of the event that happens and takes place around us and have an influence on our life. We can be prepare on it and use it. Lot - it's not a stone which impede us our life, it's a knowledge about us, about our possibilities and weak sides, it is a possibility to make use of it and possibility to change something. As long as we don't know who we are, we err, spin around, and treat our life like hard lot and obstructions.

 The Ba Zi explains date of our birth ( year, month, day and hour ) in 4 pairs which are called Jia Zi. This 4 pairs give us 8 characters called Ba Zi. Each pair is called Pillar. This is where the name - 4 Pillars comes from. 8 characters Ba Zi contain of 5 Elements and each Element divides into jin or jang. Analysis of structure, relation, combination of these elements helps us to discover a nature of our life, our individuality, the essence of our life. If we know it we can change our weakness into strength, which will help us to go through our life with a joy.
