An Explanation Of What Is Zi Wei Dou Shu
A Chinese Astrology system goes by the name of Zi Wei Dou Shu, and many astrologers in China use this method. It may not have the popularity of Ba Zi, but what it does have is a way of showing insight to a persons characteristics as well as their true potential and luck they will have in life, so that they can use it to make an informed choice of their next step. This article should answer questions reguarding what is Zi Wei.
With Ba Zi the information of when you were born as well as time of birth is separated into pillars, there are four pillars that each have an earthly branch and as well as this they each have a heavenly stem. This is how a persons current attitude, value and other characteristics are determined. With Zi Wei Dou Shu the readings are taken by Chinese lunar age and also the time, date, year and month that you are born. The information of this is then taken and put into 12 palaces. The palaces also contain a stem and branch but as well as this the palaces contain a number of stars, altogether there are over 100 of them.
The 12 palaces are set out in a 4×4 matrix, each of the palaces representing something different about the persons past present and future, they include information of people they are close to such as friends and family as well as other information like the amount of wealth the person has and may have in the future. This will enable the person to see what they could achieve within their capabilities and helps to guide them into what to do next with their lives to be where they want to be. The stem and branch within the palaces shows the reader who will pass the information on to the person they are reading for things that may occur in the persons future. The palaces also each have a number of stars within them, as I mentioned earlier, the number of stars within them can be from 18 and can be as many as 114. The number of stars depends on the school practice.
The names of the two schools of practice are Zi Wei Dou Shu and also the school of four changes.
There are differences in the two schools because the thee harmony school focuses and has more importance over the stars within the palaces as well as their combinations, relating to stars within other palaces. The school of four forces works more on the 4 forces within the palaces. This school has less interference with the lesser valued stars.
Each of them have good and bad points as do most things in life. If in the hands of someone wit the knowledge the astrologer can accurately read lots about a person as well as those they are closer and how certain actions can affect their future in relation to their personality and characteristics.
They can also tell what kind of luck the person they are reading for will have in any given decade as well as the year which will narrow it down.
Being able to learn the system can take many years even when taught by someone with great experience as there is a lot to remember in order to give a professional reading.
