What is Chinese Astrology?
Ba Zi Four Pillars Chinese Horoscopes [Ba Zi means Eight Characters, which make up the Four Pillars of your Chinese Horoscope i.e. the Year, Month, Day and Hour] Many people consider the importance of their space when considering their levels of luck, health and harmony, a wise few also consider the impact of timing and Chinese Horoscope influences.
What is a Chinese Horoscope and how does it work?
When you were born, nature was in a particular configuration of energy dynamics, made up by The Five Elements (or Actions). Every wisdom tradition (Native American, Aboriginal, Vedic, Celtic shamanism) uses the elements and very often they yield the same results. In the Chinese Calendar each day is made up of an element (Heavenly Stem - Water, Wood, Fire, Earth & Metal) and an animal (the 12 Zodiacal Animals or Earthly Branches), which also have an element. When you were born the year, month, day and hour had certain configurations of these elements and animals. The interplay of these elements affects your character and your ability to manage certain energies effectively.
Chinese horoscopes are not concerned with cheap fortune telling, but with revealing the qualities of your unique energy constitution and providing understanding for you about how your energy combines or clashes to the energies of the current time. If you don’t know the precise hour, but know whether it was day or night, certain techniques and observations can be used to fine tune and arrive at the hour.

Many interesting things can be revealed once the Chinese Horoscope is ‘opened’ – here are some examples:

Feng Shui and Chinese Horoscopes teach us to lead lives of greater self-empowerment for the improvement of our lives and the lives of others. A Feng Shui Chinese Horoscope perspective teaches us to develop the humility and wit to become more intimate with the exuberance and mystery of life, ourselves and others.
With disciplined energy cultivation via T’ai Chi or Chi Kung, you can develop an energetic cushion of protection against the ups and downs of life. Health problems discovered through Chinese Horoscope can also benefit from participating in these martial art forms.
Choosing a good consultant
A good Chinese Horoscope consultant should never seek to limit or discourage their clients or imply absolute outcomes, but rather encourage their growth by adopting a positive and caring approach. A responsible consultant needs to forewarn you of likely trouble ahead, but never scare you or seek to intimidate you into buying their services and advice. A good consultant also does not pretend to be psychic (though some are naturally) but prefers to ask you targeted questions to assess whether they have correctly chosen your supportive element.
