The concept of Useful God is one of the most important aspects in our Bazi Four Pillars of Destiny. It will take sustained and deep studies plus reflection and having all the experience by doing many charts to fully see this point.
We need to identify the Useful God Yong Shen 用神
for our BaZi Four Pillars of Destiny, and
preferably the Useful God needs to be produced by the BaZi Four Pillars of Destiny itself.
If we decided that Fire is the most needed element and Fire was identified the Useful God, but if Fire is not available in the basic BaZi Four Pillars (the 8 characters), then if we were to encounter Fire through any Ta Yun The Ten Years Luck Pillar or even in any year, month, day or hour Pillar, this Fire is to be precised not considered as Useful God 用神 or it is short lived
What we seek in our Bazi Four Pillars of Destiny is to assure smooth flow of Qi in a structure (provided that the it is available in the BaZi chart), the element that is best equipped to do that may then be referred to as Useful God, or Yòng Shén 用神.
Yong Shén 用神 is the most sought after god or deity in one’s BaZi chart, as opposed to the least wanted deity Jì Shén 忌神, which will instead ‘attack’ or ‘obstruct’ a life and which will be referred to as Annoying or Hostile God.
Under normal circumstances, the following applied.
“If your BaZi HAS strong wealth supported by strong roots, you will be very rich when your Ta Yun is again with strong wealth and strong support.”
“If your BaZi DOES NOT HAVE strong wealth supported by strong roots, you will NOT be very rich even when your Ta Yun has strong wealth and strong support. You will only be moderately rich or richer, not like the multi millionaire type.”
If a person is having a strong money stars, well positioned, no clashing with nearby stars, being supported, appear at stem and have strong root and etc, this person will sure have strong wealth when the timing is right he or she is going to be very rich. But how about someone that does not have any wealth stars or having just one or two very weak wealth or money star and all are hidden? Can he be rich one day?
But our friend here is very rich. Do you want to find out who is he? Read on.
True enough that our favorable elements can help us obtain balance in our BaZi Four Pillar of Destiny. But in the strictest form and against the popular teachings still, it may not be amongst our most essential tasks to seek to restore balance in a Bazi chart if this only means that we were merely counting the number of elements just by way of their absence or abundance in a chart without seeing the actual affects of them in our BaZi. Now it becomes our most important and sacred task to ensure the smooth flow of “Qi” in a chart and the what would be popularily regarded balance, may then come in second.
There have being numerous number of time this same question was asked if they can change their destiny or I can suggest some ways to do it. I admit that I really hope that I have the power and ability to do so. I must say that
"it is very difficult to change destiny"
You can only know what is coming to you, be prepare and you sill have to go through whatever that being intended for you. You cannot run away. You can only minimize the effect or misfortune thru using FengShui, hark work, determination, do charity work and prays. Many overlook charity but doing charity is very important. When you meet some beggars, disabled person asking for money, be kind enough to give them a few dollars.
