There are several different forms of Chinese Astrology - some solar-based, others are lunar- based.
You may be familiar with Chinese New Year celebrated each year sometimes in January and other times in February. This date is based on a Lunar calendar according to the phase of the Moon.
Chinese Astrology or the 4 Pillars of Destiny or Ba Zi or sometimes known as the 8 Characters of birth is based on the solar calendar and the year starts on the 4th February, occasionally on 5th February each year.
When a 4 Pillars of Destiny chart is drawn up it is based on this solar calendar. All you need to provide is your birth day and time of birth.
This system of Chinese astrology goes hand-in-hand with Feng Shui so that recommendations are made not only to support and enhance the building (according to the energy chart of the building) but for the benefit of the individual within the building also, based on their 4 Pillars of Destiny chart.
The 4 Pillars of Destiny chart shows the basic temperament of an individual, their strengths and weaknesses and whether they are more suited to public positions or more behind-the-scenes positions.
What creative talents do you have?
Can you handle money or do you need some help with budgeting and finances?
What are the dynamics in your relationship with others?
When is life going to flow in a supportive way for you?
When will you have the courage to speak up?
They also show quite clearly the inherent talents and abilities of an individual - sometimes we are not even aware of these, but they will come into focus at various stages of our lives. If we know in advance we can take advantage of these opportunities as they arise.
Many employers find it helpful to have charts drawn up for key personnel to be assured of their productivity, their self-discipline, their ability to take a leading role etc.
You don't need to have a Feng Shui appraisal to have a 4 Pillars of Destiny reading as this can be done separately if you wish.
