The Six Pillars of Ba Zi, Today

1. In the past, traditional ba zi uses EIGHT pillars: Year, Month, Day, Hour, House of Life and House of Conception + TWO more for the DEAD

2. Today, the most detailed bazi uses SIX pillars: Year, Month, Day, Hour, House of Life and House of Conception

3. Why Six pillars and not Four or Eight pillars?

3.1. There is less of a need to evaluate the HISTORY = Dead this is why Eight pillars are no longer required or obsolete.

3.2   Many Geomancers still use only Four Pillars: Year, Month, Day and Hour as this is much easier to calculate.

3.3   But the trade-off is that it is less accurate as two more pillars each with two variables: Heavely stem and Early branches.

4. Although, the word Ba Zi is generic, but very often, 8 out of 10 Ba Zi analysis are off-the mark or can be seriously WROnG!

You have a very unbalanced Five Element distribution. Often, this produces signs of a person with several possible health problems.

You have 0% Water element. This often signify possible Health related problems to the Kidney and Sex Organ.

You have 53% Earth element. This often signify possible Health related problems to the Stomach and Intestine. Having too much Earth may sometimes lead to indirect health issues related to Kidney and Sex Organ (Water element).

The ideal balance of each element is generally 20% of each element. However, it is difficult to achieve exactly 20% of each element. This is because it is difficult to know exactly how much of each element you have at any point in time. So as long as you have more of your favourable elements, you will improve your balance and harmony.

Changes in your Five Element Balance for 21 - 30 (2031 - 2040)

Water Wood Fire Earth Metal 6 % 5 % 37 % 33 % 16 %

Changes in your Five Element Balance for 31 - 40 (2041 - 2050)

Water Wood Fire Earth Metal 0 % 4 % 7 % 60 % 14 %

For this male person; between his 31 years of age to 40; he has to be careful of especially his stomach, intestine and colon area as his earth element is highly unbalanced i.e. 60 percent!
