What is BaZi (八字)?
Just like Zi Wei Dou Shu (紫微斗數), BaZi (八字) is another form of ancient Chinese destiny analysis based on a person's birth year, month, day and hour. BaZi (八字) simply means 'eight characters' in Chinese and these eight characters can be used to decode all aspects of one's life including our character, wealth, power, relationship with others, love, illnesses, fortunes and misfortunes. It is believed that when a person is born in this world, he or she will be influenced by celestial bodies, especially the big planets in our solar system. The formation of these big planets will create a certain energy pattern. These energy patterns are represented in five elements — wood (木), fire (火), earth (土), metal (金), and water (水) — that are believed to be the fundamental elements of everything in the universe between which interactions occur.
