Students' BaZi Case Study | Peter Yap | Tuesday, 1 September 2026

In 2007, the 丁亥 year, he came into a windfall. On May 27, while enjoying himself at a casino in Macau, he placed a single bet at around 1:30 p.m. and won $3.18 million. On February 4, 2014 甲午 year he bought a lottery ticket at around 2 p.m., which made him richer by almost $4 million.

A House with a Roof and Exposed Rafters or Beams

Peter Yap | Tuesday, 4 August 2026

A house with a roof and exposed rafters or beams instead of a flat finished ceiling is generally considered challenging rather than strictly bad in feng shui, depending heavily on room usage and beam placement.

Energy Flow: Without a flat ceiling to stabilize and gather qi, energy in very tall, open-roof spaces can rise too quickly and scatter, leaving people feeling ungrounded or anxious.

Mother Teresa BaZi : Life and Death Are Destined
Peter Yap | Saturday, 4 July 2026

Mother Teresa's first heart attack in 1983 (Gui Hai 癸亥 year) was not a coincidence. By analyzing her BaZi chart together with her Luck Pillars (Da Yun) and annual influences, we can clearly identify the underlying causes. Her favourable element (用神 Yong Shen) was severely damaged, with Ding Fire 丁火 being overwhelmed by excessive Water, manifesting as heart disease. The timing of the illness was also precise—it occurred exactly in the year when multiple 劫 (Rob Wealth – 劫财 Jie Cai) and 比 (Friend – 比肩 Bi Jian) influences combined to form a powerful Water configuration.

In BaZi analysis, any forecast must be based on how the annual Ten Gods 十神 interact with the Ten Gods and elements in your natal BaZi Four Pillars and your DaYun (大运 10-Year Luck Pillar). It is not enough to focus on the annual Ten Gods alone. Many BaZi enthusiasts fall into the trap of interpreting the year's energy in isolation, overlooking the critical interactions with the natal chart and DaYun. This approach is known as 6-Pillar Analysis, which combines the BaZi Four Pillars, the DaYun (10-Year Luck Pillar), and the current Year Pillar. This is the minimum level of analysis required to produce a meaningful and accurate forecast.

BaZi Analysis: When Timing Becomes Fate
Peter Yap | Monday, 1 June 2026

In BaZi, a chart's structure may remain stable for decades, yet a single moment in time can alter its balance completely. When favorable elements are removed, resources depleted, and hostile forces converge, the result can be a critical turning point in a person's life. We need to explore how timing interacts with natal destiny, illustrating how specific combinations of luck, annual influences, and daily energies can transform potential into reality—when timing becomes fate.
