Dear Cecil,

Thanks for your valuable and enlightening feedback.

Can you further elaborate on how Ba Zi can be utilized to improve one's luck?

I actually thought, Ba Zi is something you are born with and there is nothing you can do about it. We can never change our heaven luck, can we? However, I have noted that feng shui /earth luck could be harnessed to enhance our overall luck. Do correct me, if I am wrong.

Thank you so much.

Warmest regards,
SL
