What You Need to Know

About BaZi (Four Pillars)
BaZi
(Eight Characters) or 'Four Pillars' as it is more
popularly known in the West, is more than a sophisticated art of
Chinese fortune telling. It is a traditional Chinese science of
analyzing a person's destiny. Destiny is often regarded as the life
path that is mapped out for us on the date and time of our birth
by the Heavens. BaZi enables us to investigate the potential and
mysteries of our lives using our birth data. By using BaZi
calculations, we can explore the cyclical influence of our 'destiny'
in important areas such as family, friends, relationships, wealth,
fame, recognition, opportunities, career, studies, partnership,
business and almost every other important aspect of our lives.
BaZi can be used to evaluate the relationship between the various
aspects of our lives and to forecast each of our individual life
paths, giving us a big picture scenario that allows us to make
decisions that will allow us to reach our goals.

BaZi Mastery Series : Module One

BaZi translates our birth data - Year, Month, Day and Hour of birth into four pairs of
distinct Chinese Characters (called Jia Zi
). Four pairs make Eight Characters (or
BaZi). Each pair is also known as a pillar, hence the term Four Pillars.

The eight characters are made up of the Yin and Yang variations of the Five Elements. By analyzing the structure, compatibility, clashes,
combinations, conditions and inter-relations of these eight characters, we can probe into greater detail about our nature and our life path. An
individual can make use of this information to accelerate his performance at work, strengthen relationships with others, overcome weaknesses,
maximize talents and potentials and make informed decisions based on forecasts of his or her upcoming cycle of luck.

About This Course

Reading a few books on BaZi (Four Pillars) will not be enough to give
you the solid foundation and skills necessary to practice the art of
BaZi accurately. The other part of the art - often the most challenging
part for newcomers - requires a deep understanding of the
fundamental principles, essential theories and most importantly, the
analysis, the interpretation and the application of Classical BaZi
methodologies.
This course provides an easy, structured method for anyone who is
looking to learn all about the fundamentals of BaZi (Four Pillars
Destiny Analysis) in the shortest possible time. It is particularly
suitable for:
Newcomers who have little or no knowledge of BaZi but have a
keen interest in knowing more about the subject.
Self-taught BaZi Practitioners seeking formal training and new skills.
Those who are looking for a guide to set them on the right path
when studying BaZi (Four Pillars Destiny Analysis).
Those who want to formalize their training in Chinese BaZi
Astrology.
Experienced practitioners facing trouble with juggling contrasting
theories and are seeking to refine their skills in the basics.
Those wishing to strengthen and complement their Feng Shui
practice

BaZi Mastery Series : Module One

BaZi Module One is about helping you develop the
basic techniques to calculate and assess the life path that is
in store for you.
BaZi is a study of Destiny that provides a road map of your
own life and allows you to discover various means to shake
off mediocrity and live up to your
hidden greatness.

The Benefits Of Studying BaZi

BaZi enables the practitioner to discover the facets of his or her own
life, talents, potentials and more importantly, the possibilities and
challenges in the near or distant future. Life constantly presents us
with many challenges that demand our best. Although we may not
be able to avoid all the problems we face or win back lost
opportunities, we need to be able to prepare ourselves for whatever
challenges that do lie ahead.
The course is designed to help you understand yourself and the
universal forces that form and shape you into the person you want to
be and help you make informed decisions to live the life you have
envisioned for yourself.
This course will engage you in on-going, continuous self-mastery in
the study of BaZi. What you will become as a result of this course is
infinitely greater than what you are today because you will begin to
understand the natural forces that help shape and mould your life.
You will be able to recognize challenges and opportunities that come
your way and realize that you can take charge of these situations,
making them work towards your advantage. Your BaZi (Four Pillars)
will help you to develop a larger vision of yourself. This course will
also help open the corridors of the creative mind to assist you in
manifesting the greatness that lies deep within you by understanding
your talents and potential.
Your BaZi (Four Pillars) can help you as a stand-alone guide to your
personal development. By understanding yourself and others through
the study of BaZi, you can learn to make better decisions - a power
that can be put to good use today, tomorrow and for the rest of your
life.
For many years, the study of BaZi often involved tedious, difficult
and confusing paths. Now, all this has been simplified with Mr. Joey
Yap's unique structured learning system. In a systematic and
coordinated program, the art of BaZi is now much easier to study
and made simpler to master.
You will receive a thorough briefing on the concepts of HeavenEarth-Man, Yin and Yang, Qi, Five Elements and the Stems and
Branches - the basis of BaZi studies. You will gain the necessary skills
required to practice BaZi effectively and efficiently for yourself and
when performing consultation for others. BaZi Module One
includes the application of Combinations, Clashes, Harms,

Destruction and Punishment relationships between the elements and

10 Gods (topics normally taught at only advanced levels in other
schools). Learn how to analyze personality traits and the luck
conditions of a person. You will learn how to apply BaZi confidently
step by step and understand the controversies that may confront you
in your practice.

Essential BaZi
When practiced correctly, the application and study of BaZi can
greatly enhance your personal and business activities, enrich your
relationships and improve your total well-being.
Much of the art of BaZi demands good analysis, judgment and
interpretation skills. Experience is certainly a key aspect of this art.
By learning from our experienced team and from our existing
knowledge, you will save yourself a lot of time. Practice the correct
principles immediately with confidence and excel.

Gain the skills that will serve you a lifetime! Become

proficient in an art that has great payback potential.
Whether you are a businessman, doctor, lawyer, author, student,
housewife or Feng Shui practitioner, the study and practice of BaZi
(Four Pillars) can help you in a multitude of ways. Knowing
yourself, your family members and others helps you perform better
and take advantage of opportunities when they present themselves.

Practicing BaZi
The demand for fully qualified BaZi practitioners are steadily
increasing and given the shortage of recognized professional BaZi
studies, many people are forced to learn the art from merely reading
books, attending day lectures or overnight master-practitioner classes.
This course helps you develop the fundamentals required to become
an effective and proficient BaZi practitioner by setting you on the
right path to eventually master the art. Focusing straight towards
teaching you "what to do" and "the best way to do it". Module One
imparts the right proven methodologies with the necessary tools and
fundamental skills for practicing the art of BaZi correctly.

You will obtain critical skills such as:

Starting out on the right path studying Classical and Modern BaZi.
Ensuring correct BaZi readings without a trial by error analysis.
Understanding the role Heaven (as revealed in your BaZi) plays in
life, in the practice of Feng Shui and in relationships.
Predicting the major factors that shape and influence a person's life.
Applying advanced analysis techniques.
