Horoscope is an important method of fortune telling in traditional culture, which analyzes a person's destiny trend through the theory of yin and yang and five elements. In 八字, one needs to know the date and time of one's birth to make a projection, while the name is not necessary.
The fortune theory of 八字 holds that a person's destiny is closely related to the timing of heaven and earth. Under the theory of yin-yang and five elements, the eight characters represent the yin-yang and five elements attributes of year, month, day and hour. By analyzing the mutual interactions of the yin and yang five elements attributes of the eight characters, one can arrive at the trend of one's destiny as well as one's adaptability to certain things.
Specifically, the year in the eight characters represents a person's foundation and the direction of his or her destiny. By analyzing the year pillar, one can derive one's innate character and talent. The Moon pillar represents one's emotions and health, and has a greater influence on relationships and family environment. The Day pillar, on the other hand, represents one's daily behavior and personality traits, and also reflects one's character development.
The Hour Pillar in the horoscope has an important influence on the trend of fate and the success of one's career. The Hour Pillar represents a person's social skills and career potential, and can also reflect a person's good or bad fortune at different times of the year.
The purpose of knowing one's Bazi is to have a basic understanding of one's destiny and to make some appropriate adjustments in one's life and career. Of course, Bazi is not the only factor that determines fate; human efforts and self-improvement are also crucial.
It is important to note that the fortune telling of the Eight Characters is only a traditional method of analyzing destiny, and cannot predict a person's future with 100% accuracy. Fate is a complex and fluid thing, influenced by numerous factors. And the eight characters is only one of them.
In short, as a method of fortune telling in traditional culture, Bazi can help people understand their character traits, destiny trends, and adaptability to specific things. But it is not the only factor that determines destiny; human efforts and self-improvement are equally important. By understanding our own eight characters, we can know ourselves better, make the right choice for ourselves and improve our quality of life.
