Destiny refers to fate that is given to us upon the determination of the time we were born. This is the power believed to control all predetermined events.

Destiny cannot be changed but can be improved. Changing destiny refers to the turning of misfortune into good luck which is impossible. It is just like attempting to resist the universal order. Improving our destiny means we can improve our gains during a period of good luck and reduce our losses during a downward phase in our lifetime.

This ancient art uses the 5 primordial elements (metal, water, wood, fire and earth) to represent one's Bazi. The 4 Pillars comprises of the Year, Month, Day and Hour of the birthdate. Each pillar has a Heavenly Stem and an Earthly Branch component represented by either the Yin or Yang aspect of the 5 elements. Bazi literally means '8 Characters' which refers to the 8 elements in the 4 Pillars.

Bazi has been widely used in China for more than a thousand years. Its accuracy is undisputed. However to apply its theories properly requires the in-depth practical experience of a Bazi master.

The Chinese believe that a person's life is largely determined by destiny, which affects one's success and happiness. However, other factors like luck, feng shui, character and education can also affect one's destiny.

This can be explained that certain people have gone through a good luck phase in their life early whilst others much later. However, there are people who are not so lucky and do not experience such good luck at all as their good luck cycle do not pass through their prime period in life.

The continual changing of elements unconsciously affects our feelings and moods towards our loved ones, thus creating critical moments in our relationship. By understanding such changes, we can exercise self-restraint and mitigate the adverse effects of such elemental influence on our temperament which could otherwise destroy a long-term relationship.

Destiny can be improved but not changed. Through freewill we can to a certain extent improve our destiny like :

• Making use of the pattern of our luck cycle.
• Improving on the feng shui of our home/office that harmonizes with the environment or surrounding.
• Building up of our virtues, philanthropic attitudes and other positive traits.
• Through proper education like academic achievements, vocational training, continuous updating by acquiring general knowledge and current events. This is very important to us as we are living in a dynamic world where events and changes of demand of goods and services can affect our profession, politics and business directly or indirectly.

Bazi can assist us in :

• Choosing the right or relevant career which one can perform better.
• Timing of an investment or venture.
• Choosing the right partner in business or marriage.
• Enhance our personal feng shui like sitting or facing the correct directions, wearing of the right colors, ornaments and interior design to enhance our health and harmony.
