How to Interpret Bazi chart using Qimen chart

Hello, welcome to Qi Men Dun Jia. This is Dougles Chan,

Today, we are going to learn how to interpret a Bazi chart using Qi Men Dun Jia. Qi Men Dun Jia is one of the highest and most respected oracles in Chinese metaphysics. We can also use Qi Men Dun Jia to read and interpret the Bazi chart based on life, wealth, career, and many other things. If you are a beginner in Bazi reading, I will actually share with you a basic idea on how to interpret a Bazi.

Apparently, I am going to based on this case study to learn how to interpret Bazi:

With this chart, we can have information about the person who was born on July 7, 1980, at 12:48. First of all, we have to find a Day stem. This symbol is called “Xin”:

Based on the 9 boxes below, we have to find where “Xin” is. It is in box number 2:

General characteristic is in box number 2. So, I can use box number 2 to decipher the information and interpret it. Let’s examine the symbols inside box number 2. 

In box number 2, we have “Leader” (值符 Zhi Fu), “Death” (死门 Si Men), and “Problem” (天芮星 Tian Rui).

“Leader” means that, as a general whole, this person was born with a leadership quality. He can lead a team or a company very well. If this person is hired as a leader, as a manager, or as a general manager, the likelihood is that he (or she) will be fair.

“Death” means that this person is very stubborn. Although he is a great leader, he is very stubborn. He thinks that he is always right.

“Problem” means that this person tends to have issues. “Death” is together with “Problem”, which means that this person is going to have a serious illness. The problem can be very severe. Take into account that this person has to be very mindful about regular exercise. Try to avoid any potential accidents. He has to be a bit more careful in his life.

We also have a horse in box number 2. A horse means that this person is very active. He cannot be confined behind a computer screen all day doing routine desk work. He cannot be an operational person. He is more like an outgoing person.

Hence, we can decipher the information that he is a very outgoing leader. This is the general characteristic of a person.

How to Analyze Wealth Potential in the Chart

We will find where “Life” is. It is located in box number 8:

We have “White Tiger”, which means that wealth is fierce and very much. Its likelihood is going to be more in business than working for people. He can be a very aggressive person in terms of being an active person in the business field. In the business industry, he can be a very prominent CEO. But because of his health, if he does not manage it well, it will be a big issue in his life.

This is the basis of how to integrate a Bazi chart. Of course, we can also see many things, like marriage, career, and opportunity. So, this is a basic introduction to how Qi Men Dun Jia can interpret Bazi on a very surface level. There are many other things that we can look at, but it will take a long time to explain them further.

Thanks for reading.
