Sichuan Aftermath

(Image from wikimedia.org)

“With mountains hidden in fog, possibilities of internal conflicts are great denoting unseen danger boiling within. With the internal forming fire, possible of a natural disaster due to volcanic eruption, seismic pressures, earthquakes and landslides are prominent. These may also be the news-covering headline in the 1st quarter of the year” – Prediction in early 2008.

Bazi of the May 12 2008, 2:28pm China Local Time states: -

DING REN DING WU

WEI ZI SI ZI

“Monday, May 12, 2008 at 06:28:01 UTC, Earth Quake measuring 7.9 R. Scale locations: 30.986°N, 103.364°E. The following is a release by the United States Geological Survey, National Earthquake Information Center: An earthquake occurred 90 km (55 miles) WNW of Chengdu, Sichuan, China and 1545 km (960 miles) SW of BEIJING, Beijing, China at 12:28 AM MDT, May 12, 2008 (2:28 PM local time in China). The magnitude and location may be revised when additional data and further analysis results are available…” – US Geological website.

Structural reading denotes as a weak chart, favoring self and resource. Resource is not seen in the chart. Fighting to combine away the day master. With the root fighting to harm, only to foretell a disaster in a nature of quake and unseen. With boulder surfacing, in road for a land slide catastrophe. Wealth protruding indicating major financial lost and the authority cannot act in time to prevent such a disaster.

Imagery reading, trap in between 2 obstacles, fiery in nature, mutually to control over these obstacles that only fighting to merge in chaos. Similarly underneath saw movement of soil contamination indicating movement of mud flow. Resulting in fire as the root and boulder as seen on the surface. Mountain without base, strong fire and water coming together burning everything to be seen into ashes. That is the picture.

Amusingly speaking from another point of view, a Dutch Bazi consultant has this to say: -
“However, you will have seen most masters then persist in pointing to the apparent 2008 ‘conflict’ by which the year Stem Yang Earth Wu would be controlling the year Branch Zi Rat [.]. Also, not only do we still encounter statements such as the one saying how the Yang Earth Wu will be then controlling the Yang Water Rat, such of course not possible because Zi Rat may be only ‘Yang’ as a Branch member, but what it contains is Yin Water Gui. Just as we had seen with the 2007 Yin Fire Ding-Hai Pig, again here no-one seems to be pointing out that rather than ‘just conflict’ the year Stem and Branch for 2008 would actually go into pairing to generate Wood.” – HELUO

In fact, we knew it WUZI will never transformed into wood. There is a tendency to combine, thus making the entire pillar “unstable”.

Furthermore: -

“…note that we do not locate Wood, or it must be Yin Wood Yi in the hour Branch on which we can then bargain as it will be much weakened due to internal flow of Qi in Wei Sheep hour Branch – the Yin Wood Yi there will be generating the Yin Fire Ding there, which in turn will generate the Yin Earth Ji also there - while as it is the Yin Wood Yi will be furthermore devoting its energy to the hour Stem Yin Fire Ding, seemingly altogether not making it a ‘player’ of any stature. You may note the abundance of Fire, which could be reasoned to then generate Earth. If we had a say in it, the image initially derived would not nearly be indicative for any earthquake…. Day Stem Yang Water Ren finds Yin Fire Ding to either side and needs to decide which one to go into Pairing with, while we know that by rule of priority the preferred order for Pairing will go from year over month to day to hour, so that here day Stem Yang Water Ren will then associate with the month Stem, which pairing connotes Wood.

The year information will furthermore suggest Fire being generated, where the year Stem Yang Earth Wu [.] will seek to go into pairing with the Yin Water Gui contained in year Branch Zi Rat, all the fire in the chart in fact red hot.

While performing Transformation for Bazi, if 2 Stems pair to successfully Transform, both original Stems would assume the Transformed God. If here the Yang Water and Yin Fire were to Transform, this would have resulted into Yang Wood Jia. We also know that conditions must be met before a Stem Pairing can at all change over into Transformation. Once successful, the Transformed God will govern, while with Transformation for this chart clearly failing, the then intended Transformed God Wood be pretty much still ‘hovering’ the chart, meaning it will be ‘all Wood in the air’ to then perhaps help aggravate earth. Either way, the initially seeming total
absence of Wood could be bargained on, and the here original chart image” – HELUO

In the first place, transformation to wood will not had taken place in the SI month and in a condition of fighting to transform, so the entire argument of wood weaken by fire weaken by earth in the stem reading reverse from the hour pillar to the year is absolute comical.

The articles sum up the followings: -
“Year Stem Yang Earth Wu seeking to pair with Yin Water Gui contained in year Branch Zi Rat, portending Fire. Resulting image is quite strong in Wood and Fire. Fire in this chart as coming from month Ding-Si and hour Ding-Wei red hot. Already red hot Fire in this chart, being further confirmed due to annual Wu-Zi cannot rely on for foundation, collapse in or due to water…” – HELUO

In summary, the year gives the background as misty mountain hidden obstacle, tendency to combine to become fire but not transform. There is already an unseen movement. The collapse is not due to water or fire but the both clashing into movement as in harm and clashes of the earthly branch hidden. Then remaining fire hidden in the month branch and earth protruding in the stem denoting eruption, in this case earth quake.

Again instead of the 4 pillar look at the LOSHU chart: -

194 659 872
983 215 437
548 761 326

Sichuan SW of China, 8-2, stacking of boulder with 7 as the based. The unseen metal is the culprit. Resulting in again 5-8 stacking of the boulder. Worst the central 5 has been affected. Motive is a sheer movement 4. The cause 1-4, deep abyss of fast moving molten lava 9 fire. The aftermath effect of 3-6, rumbling thunder that reveal and clash the 6 metal. Motive 2 going back to the womb, ashes to ashes.

Election Aftermath 3rd Installation: The Crackdown

Before the election, this is what I had posted earlier for my 2008 annual prediction for my country: -

"...The question is, will there be capabilities to salvage the water? First, we understood that the root is reckoned, not bad for a start. Among others, there are hidden plans; mechanism is in placed to contain the effect. But how effective it is? As a starter, the electoral results will reflect what has been well received, with many mega projects installed up in the sleeves and promises made across the country to all levels, then the picture will starts to unfold. This will be the real not the surreal..."

We read that this is what reported in Malaysiakini: -

"...BN suffered its worst ever result in Saturday's polls, losing its two-thirds majority in parliament for the first time since 1969 and conceding four more states to a resurgent opposition..."

What more could we asked for?

Election Aftermath 2nd Installation: Blur..Blur...

This is what the Gua no.4 Meng has to say: -

THE JUDGMENT

YOUTHFUL FOLLY has success.It is not I who seek the young fool;The young fool seeks me.At the first oracle I inform him. If he asks two or three times, it is importunity.If he importunes, I give him no information.Perseverance furthers.

THE IMAGE

A spring wells up at the foot of the mountain:The image of YOUTH.Thus the superior man fosters his characterBy thoroughness in all that he does.

WuJi as it denotes and the Gua Image it represents, up mountain down water, Meng or Dream liked a misty mountain, indeed has manifested itself over the past accounts before and after the General Election. At the material time, post election dilemma has been unveiled chapter by chapter, starting from the defeat of the national coalition in Penang, followed by the defeat of most senior politicians from the national coalition components and resulted in casualty that witnessed the national coalition party lost 5 states to the oppositions. The aftermath, has been an absolute lost of directions for the national front, each components trying to revisit their very own fundamentals and relevance to the society it serves. Over the last 4 decades, this would had been unimaginable and on this basis it will seems hard on the national front to accept defeat at such magnitude let alone, glueing up the loose end and chart the course forward. No doubt, the national front is forming the government by a simple majority, one would witness that the plans that had been on the sleeves suddenly lost its momentum and directions. Forming the cabinet has been in itself a great challenge, with the withdrawal syndrome now faced by its component leaders, absolute disillusions and Blur.

On the opposition front, the confusion arise in the apportionment of the prized pie. There has never been a pack among the 3 opposition front, each representing an Islamic party, Chinese dominant party and a Malay dominant party, beforehand. These parties had never dreamt of denying the national front for 2/3 majority and how could it be after 4 decades of independent? The opposition front also were in the dilemma as seen in the unfolding events of appointing the Perak MB, deciding the number 2 post for Selangor and State Exco seat allocation to DAP. These hiccups has been read as confusing signals to the masses, let alone in identifying what these front has installed for these states to come. All blurred up!

The Malaysian has been left with no directions at this point in time. Gone are the visions and like wise, Malaysian has been left in the mountain surrounded by mist or rather haze.

On the same footing, one will also notice the effect of the period 8, Gen denoting the triumph of a younger and naive generations with solid fundamentals and less rhetorical. The power grips of the older generation or rather lead by an older man has been diminishing, replaced by younger leader with almost no experience in the government, grounded firmly and vow to revisit the fundamentals of the make up of this country. Viva period 8!

Election Aftermath 1st Installation: To Win or Not To Win

This is dedicated to Mr. Goh (active trader)...

I supposed not many had predicted the denial of Barisan Nasional 2/3 majority. Even if one knows, one may not even dare to say it loud for fear of Operasi Lalang again. On this account, I beg forgiveness to my friend whom had asked me to pluck a Gua, on will BN forms the next government and will they gain a 2/3 majority. Will there also be a strike if BN looses? I got a combination of 10, namely 28 for the first question. So I told him yes indeed, they will win, what an obvious answer. Then came across 50km/j signage infront of me. I interprated 5 as a HETU combination, but fail to reckon the Zero. So, I told him, yes by a slim majority. The results show that BN lost 2/3 by a slim majority indeed. On this account, my prediction went wrong.

The lesson is the ultimate Zero plays a very important role. 5 is an emperor star, it denotes power and authorities. When it turns to 0, it lost everything, naturally. On a larger scale the sign has a larger 0 in red defining its boundary. 9 implying passion. It is the people's passion to change and deny BN the 2/3 majority, what more when it comes in RED as the emblem of the rocket! These has been overlooked indeed.

Then, will there be a strike? 3333 the car number infront of me. It resembles marching forward liken to tidal wave. All Zhen Guas denoting thunder, male and agressiveness to a highest order. I told him yes that the chances are high after the elections. This time I hope I am wrong again.

On a personal note, he also requested me to predict of his friend who will stand for election under the banner of BN in Penang. Will he be nominated by the PM was his first question, followed by will he be successful as an assemblymen for the constituency. My answer to him is yes to the first and no, that he needs help to secure his seat and he may not be comfortable as an assemblymen. True enough, he was hand picked to replace an incumbent by the PM. Because Penang has fell to Barisan Rakyat, as a BN man he will be marginalised. As to how would he won a seat among the lucky ones in Penang, we will leave it out to other for speculations.

Plucking Gua is an Art in Xuan Kong. The real task is deciphering these Guas need practice and time to matured. On and off, it has to be done, when one is alert and not tired, example stuck in a lousy meeting or in a traffic jam.

I will keep the story of 13 in my next installation. So keep watching...

The Thing Called Qi

Qi originates from the external and be collected to the internal of a house or a grave. There are the external Qi that flows from the Heaven, so called riding with the wind, and an internal Qi that moves in subterranean that so called collects at the boundary of water. When these external meet the internal, it forms what called Xuan Kong. Mysterious subtleties when Yin mixed with Yang to give birth to Sheng Qi.

The external Qi moves along the mountains from a higher plain to a lower plain. Similar to water flows from a higher level to a lower level and these Qi always meet at a point of Xuan Kong. Liken to a birth, there must first be a womb. This womb as a vihicle of birth is the bright hall or ming tang. In Xuan Kong methodology, these bright halls again has its qualities defined as Zhen Shen or Ling Shen to factor in the time dimensions in accordance to the Loshu.

For the external, as quoted in translation in the Burial Classic, Qi rides with wind collects at the boundary of water. This translation is absolutely misleading. It should be phrase as Qi moves, wind moves. Qi stops water coagulates. The next question, how to collect Qi? This is an art. "Shou Shan Chut Sha" or Set back mountain and extrude the embrace, is one of a method. In other word, first encase wind then channel water. What Qi to collect? Sheng Qi! True indeed for a house, but not a grave! In a grave, we ride Sheng Qi.

Assuming the external has been taken care of, apply the same polarity notion of encase wind then channel water principle into the interior. The Loshu is only there to give one an idea how these Qi moves along the principle of 5 elements. If one take the 5 elements as element per se, one is a "dead fish". It only means 5 transformation and these transformations must occur for it to work! How to be sure, again it is an art.

Now, in the interior reads the walls and voids as mountains and water, we called structure. Apply encase wind then channel water principle, read against the Loshu to determine its qualities, one should understand how Qi moves.

I will keep the notion of storing Qi for another day.

Revisit The Changing Yao

The underlying principle of the major wandering GUA, lies on the notion of the term wandering. From the original GUA, changing of the Yao took place at the based Yao. This changes is also known as flipping from Yin to Yang and vice versa. The chart below shows what that has been known on the 4 good stars and 4 bad stars.

Why 4 good and 4 bad? What is the basis of determining that the 9 stars must have Tang, Ju, Wu and Fu to be the goodies and Lien, Po, Wen, Lu to be the baddies?

Auspiciousness is measured by the relationship of mutual production “xiangsheng” whereas inauspiciousness is measured by mutual control or “xiangke”. Compound the rest we had 64 permutations with halves are good and halves are bad. This shows that the Ming Gua must matched the compatible House Gua. This also denotes that the LH Gua correlates with the Loshu numbers providing the Qi to a person’s Life Gua.

The most guarded principles that auspiciousness always revealed itself as 5 with its own multiplicity. The 2 slices comes from 5. The 5 is the central of the Hetu, the basis of the EH 8 Tri grams. 8, 3, 2, 7 forms the Eastern arm whereas 9,6,1,4 forms the Western arm of the Hetu. The degree of auspiciousness depend on the proximity of the number in relation to this arm of the Hetu, meaning nearer better, as in 3-8, 2-7, 6-9, 1-4 and so on.

These are the essense...

The Early Later Heaven Relationship

EH is the body, object, host or principle (Ti) and LH is the soul, subject, guest or application (Yung). EH is a given scenario that cannot change as in the gives of Heaven. LH is a transformation as in Human Actions. Undoubtedly based on the principle of Ti and Yung, we said EH governs mountain, as herewith referred to human relationships and health aspect, whereas, LH governs water, as herewith referred to opportunities and wealth. LH is something that is in our controls where as EH is not.

When we look into the 8 wandering Guas, we are arranging the directional Qi map of the 8 sectors and if applied to the mountains or stars, we called it as “pai long” or arranging the dragons. Another name to it is the minor wandering Guas. When the name of the stars from the big dipper is assigned to these Guas it is called star, hence the name 8 minor wandering Stars is surfaced.

The similar notion is then applied to BaZhai when the stars are assigned to the 8 directional Qi map of the 8 sectors for a compartmentalized structure. To distinguish between these methods of arranging the stars, it is called minor wandering stars for assigning the mountain, mainly used for burial and major wandering stars for assigning of Qi map for compartmentalized spaces in a dwelling.

These form the premise of what later known as the East and West House.
