Spend A Bit Of Time Here. Get To Know Me.

It’s important that you spend a bit of time to get to know me and my approach to Chinese metaphysics.

My background

About Me

I was born in Taiwan and came to Singapore when I was four months old. I went through the typical path of a Singaporean student, graduating from NUS Business School and the University Scholars Programme.

My affinity with Chinese metaphysics started when I was 18, when I picked up my first book on Chinese astrology lying around the house. As with any teenager, my venture into this ancient art initially began as a mere intrigue, but life eventually pushed me toward becoming a practitioner. It’s a long story. Scroll down to read more.

You may know me as a BaZi consultant or Feng Shui master, but I would rather you call me a Chinese metaphysics consultant or simply by my name. There’s no need to address me as “Master” – the title is meaningless in the grand scheme of things.

Read on to hear my story.

It’s been a Crazy ride

The Journey So Far

The beginnings

This website had humble beginnings, with only 10+ visits per day when it started under another domain name. Today, it’s one of the most visited sites on Chinese metaphysics, with more than 12,000 visitors a month from all over the world

I write thought-provoking posts to get people to take another look at what Chinese metaphysics is supposed to be and how far it has strayed in modern times. If you wish to benefit from this ancient art, educating yourself a little about its history and philosophy is essential. It’s paramount to use this ancient art the way our ancestors intended if you truly wish to benefit from it.

Keep reading, and you’ll get to the part explaining everything and how I started.

The Journey

I am a self-taught practitioner. I have no teacher or lineage. If that discomforts you, that’s fine.

I studied straight from the source material written in feudal China. I didn’t see a need to learn from someone else’s watered-down content, especially when I’ve been fluent in Chinese since childhood. I’m constantly learning, revising, and reading whatever I can get my hands on.

It’s been 10+ years. I’ve served more than 5,000 clients with personalized reports, Q&As, and meaningful conversations instead of the generic templates you see sold out there. As a result, the knowledge and experience I’ve acquired are unparalleled, surpassing those of other practitioners who have been in the field longer than I have.

My Mission

My core mission is to educate the public about this esoteric field and its rich history, hoping that everyone will appreciate it for what it is – the wisdom passed down by our ancestors.

Superstition, misconceptions, and malpractices have plagued this field for the longest time, and Chinese metaphysics now harms more people rather than uplifts them.

I told myself I’d do things differently and present Chinese metaphysics in the same spirit as the Chinese sages.

Whatever you read on this site are genuine, unfiltered thoughts. Expect irreverence and an incensed tone in my writing because of how far this industry has strayed.

What’s In It For you

I take great pride in my work, which many people misconstrue as arrogance. I say this without ego, but I know where I stand against other practitioners regarding knowledge and ethics. Chinese metaphysics has become a commercialised industry where everything is sold as a quick fix to life’s problems.

It’s not my style to be gimmicky and find ways to make people part with their money, and I refuse to portray a bastardised version of Chinese metaphysics. I focus only on my purpose – I want the industry to be better, and for people to stop believing in gimmicks and short-cuts.

Hopefully, clients will discover the beauty of Chinese history and culture as they get in touch with this ancient art form and the language of the cosmos.

What I’m Known For

My Specializations

I specialise in techniques list below:

  • BaZi | 八字
  • Zi Wei Dou Shu | 紫微斗数
  • Qi Men Dun Jia | 奇门遁甲
  • Feng Shui | 风水
  • Date Selection | 择日
  • Name Selection | 姓名学

The underlying theories of all Chinese metaphysics techniques are similar, so I’m fortunate enough to specialise in different forecasting and divination techniques. Yin Yang, the 5 Elements, 9 Palaces, and astronomy are the fundamental building blocks of all Chinese metaphysics techniques.

I studied directly from the source material, and the rate of consultations I received eventually allowed me to surpass most incumbent practitioners in terms of knowledge and experience. I spend most of my time reading, writing, and practising instead of coming up with marketing material for the sake of a sale.

What sets me apart from other practitioners is that I use BaZi, Zi Wei Dou, and Qi Men Dun Jia simultaneously during consultations to give unparalleled insight and clarity.

Quick Snippets Of Information 

Frequently Asked Questions

What is BaZi | 八字?

BaZi is popularly known as the Four Pillars of Destiny. Laymen see it as a method of fortune-telling that maps out your life.

It’s one of the older techniques of forecasting one’s life based on the sexagenary cycle, the solar calendar and 24 solar terms. These were the basis of time measurement, and time needs to be measured first before patterns and cycles can be observed.

Your BaZi chart is a snapshot of time and the current state of laws unfolding. BaZi consultations study these patterns and use it to forecast one’s life and what’s to come.

What is Zi Wei Dou Shu | 紫微斗数?

Zi Wei Dou Shu is a more advanced form of Chinese astrology. Instead of focusing on the sun and solar terms, it focuses on the stars. It has the closest link to Western and Vedic astrology. The primary star used is the Polaris star, also known as Zi Wei (紫微), which Zi Wei Dou Shu derived its name from. It also involves stars from the Big Dipper (北斗七星) and part of the Saggitarius constellation (南斗六星).

What is Qi Men Dun Jia | 奇门遁甲?

Qi Men Dun Jia is a divination method first developed for military expeditions. Divination involves a question and a response, so it is used when you have a question or wish to know the outcome of an action or event.

It is a more short-term, tactical technique to seize opportunities and avoid pitfalls, and it makes up for some of the gaps in macro-techniques like BaZi and Zi Wei Dou Shu. For more information, please visit this page: Qi Men Dun Jia Forecasting

Why use all three methods at the same time?

Each method has its pros and cons. Using all three methods concurrently gives you a holistic view of what’s to come. Using a single method alone won’t achieve this.

It also makes me more efficient and helps ensure that my analysis is on the right track because the three methods should tell the same story of someone’s life.

The Thing You Always Hear Me say

“Our ancestors wouldn’t spend centuries developing this field just to tell us life sucks and we can’t do anything about it.

No prizes for guessing who said this.

This Gets a little heavy

My Story & Fate

I know what everyone is thinking. I’m just another self-aggrandising practitioner who is out to make easy money.

I did not enter this field motivated by money. Life naturally pushed me towards becoming a practitioner. Things happened, and I needed to pay rent and eat better for my health. One thing led to another.

I always prided myself on being different from other practitioners, and I want you to know my past and my story. It’s a heavy story, so bear with me.

There’s too much about Chinese metaphysics to tell you that I don’t even know where to start.

My blog exists for a reason. I’d encourage you to head there so that you can approach Chinese metaphysics the right way.
