| What Is Zi Wei Dou Shu? |
What is Zi Wei Dou Shu? It is a form of astrology, in fact it is Chinese astrology which as the name gives away is used mainly in China but in some other countries also. It is not as widely used as Ba Zi (another form) but it's benefits are that it has a wider insight into a persons character and what they will be able to achieve if they use their full potential.
With Ba Zi the information of when you were born as well as time of birth is separated into pillars, there are four pillars that each have an earthly branch and as well as this they each have a heavenly stem. This is how a persons current attitude, value and other characteristics are determined. With Zi Wei Dou Shu the readings are taken by Chinese lunar age and also the time, date, year and month that you are born. The information of this is then taken and put into 12 palaces. The palaces also contain a stem and branch but as well as this the palaces contain a number of stars, altogether there are over 100 of them.
The 12 palaces are set out in a 4x4 matrix, each of the palaces representing something different about the persons past present and future, they include information of people they are close to such as friends and family as well as other information like the amount of wealth the person has and may have in the future. This will enable the person to see what they could achieve within their capabilities and helps to guide them into what to do next with their lives to be where they want to be. The stem and branch within the palaces shows the reader who will pass the information on to the person they are reading for things that may occur in the persons future. The palaces also each have a number of stars within them, as I mentioned earlier, the number of stars within them can be from 18 and can be as many as 114. The number of stars depends on the school practice.
The names of the two schools of practice are Ze Wei Dou Shu and also the school of four changes.
There are differences in the two schools because the thee harmony school focuses and has more importance over the stars within the palaces as well as their combinations, relating to stars within other palaces. The school of four forces works more on the 4 forces within the palaces. This school has less interference with the lesser valued stars.
There are high and low points, pro's and cons to each, but in the right hands with the right knowledge and astrologer will be able to reveal lots about a person inside and out as well as those close to them. Not to mention the reading can go as deep as to speak of a persons mental health.
The luck that a person could get over their lifetime can be narrowed down to within a given year or decade which shows the accuracy rate than just being a general reading.
In order to do such a reading it will take a lot of years to learn, so that you can accurately read all in order to guide someone in the right direction. Even people who have been taught by someone with years of good experience will still take many years to understand this art completely.
