The Ancient System
What Is BaZi?
Known in the West as the Four Pillars of Destiny, BaZi is an ancient method of forecasting life based on the observable laws of nature and the collective wisdom of Chinese sages. It is primarily a study of Qi (气) flow, rooted in Yin Yang, the Five Elements, and the Eight Trigrams (八卦).
Its theoretical foundation is built on the 60-year sexagenary cycle of the 10 Heavenly Stems and 12 Earthly Branches. This ancient system of timekeeping allowed ancestors to map the patterns and cycles that govern our world.
Just as nature has seasons, your life has a cycle. A BaZi consultation offers insights unlike any psychological tool because it is not subjective — it is an objective reflection of nature’s plan and your place within it.
During the consultation, Zi Wei Dou Shu (紫微斗数) and Qi Men Dun Jia (奇门遁甲) will be used concurrently for unparalleled depth of insight.
Reading the Natal Chart
Each chart encodes your Year, Month, Day, and Hour of birth into Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches — revealing the elemental forces that shape your character, relationships, and destiny.
The interplay between these elements tells a story no personality test can replicate. Every clash, combination, and hidden stem carries specific, actionable meaning.
Areas of Insight
What a BaZi Analysis Reveals
A BaZi analysis provides both a macro and micro-view of your life — illuminating your natural strengths, blind spots, and the timing of major turning points.
Career & Purpose
Identify your natural aptitudes, career sectors aligned with your elemental profile, and the timing of major professional turning points.
Wealth & Finances
Understand your chart’s wealth structure — whether you accumulate through status or enterprise — and the cycles governing financial peaks and troughs.
Relationships & Marriage
Examine the Spouse Palace, Peach Blossom stars, and the timing of significant romantic encounters and relationship challenges.
Health Vulnerabilities
Each element corresponds to organ systems. Your chart reveals constitutional tendencies and the periods requiring greater care and attention.
10-Year Elemental Phases
Your Luck Pillars (大运) are mapped in full — knowing which decade brings support versus challenge is transformative for long-term planning.
Annual Forecasting
Annual Pillars (流年) are layered onto your natal chart to pinpoint critical years for action, caution, or strategic repositioning.
“The astrologer’s purpose is not fortune telling or entertainment; it is to show people how to live effectively.”

Why Sean Chan
What Makes This Different
My practice is built directly on the original feudal Chinese source materials — 《渊海子平》, 《子平真诠》, 《穷通宝鉴》, 《滴天髓》, and 《三命通会》 — not modern, diluted interpretations.
The result is a depth of analysis that is rare in this industry. Every single character in your chart has a meaning and can be explained, traced back to a specific classical passage.
My goal is for you to walk away fully equipped, with no need to seek another practitioner. This is not a reading of platitudes — it is a conversation about your life, conducted with honesty and care.
It’s a Conversation, Not a Report
Expect real dialogue. Your chart is the starting point; your life is the context.
Rooted in Classical Texts
Every analysis is traceable to the original Chinese classics — no modern dilution.
Radical Honesty
No charms, no inflated threats, no upselling. Just the truth, delivered with care.

Common Questions
Frequently Asked
Still unsure? Visit the full FAQ page for a comprehensive set of answers.
How is the consultation conducted?
All consultations are conducted via email. This format allows you to digest the analysis at your own pace, revisit key insights, and formulate thoughtful questions. An in-person Q&A option is available for an additional fee on top of the email report.
What does the report cover?
The report addresses your specific questions while providing a thorough understanding of your chart structure (格局), beneficial element (用神), and destructive element (忌神). Your 10-Year Luck Pillars (大运) and Annual Phases (流年运) are laid out so you know exactly when the turning points are.
How should I prepare my questions?
Submit no more than 8 focused questions when booking. Come with clear focus areas — career, health, relationships, timing of major decisions. The more specific your questions, the more precisely I can direct the analysis. The Q&A segment is paced at 8 questions per exchange.
Why are the fees premium-priced?
Fees reflect the value of 9,000+ readings of experience, mastery of classical source texts, and the time invested in each analysis. They also serve as a natural filter for clients who take this process seriously. Consider what you would pay for a decision that changes the outcome of the next decade of your life.
How does the Q&A add-on work?
The Q&A segment ($200, optional) begins after you receive the initial report. It runs for seven working days, with a maximum of seven formal email replies — one exchange per day. This allows you to clarify, explore nuances, and zoom into specific circumstances that require deeper analysis.
Client Testimonials
In Their Own Words
Real feedback from past clients. View all testimonials
He was able to detect something was amiss as I provided him with an incorrect time of birth. Over the next few days through the Q&A, I learnt more about the issues he sees. I gained invaluable advice that I will bear in mind going forward.
His heart is in the right place. Sean conducts his consultations with integrity. You can feel that he genuinely wants to help his clients. There is a lot of value to be unlocked from the 7-day Q&A session.
It was like finally, something clicked and a light was turned on after being in the dark for a very long time. His advice helped open the channel for closer communication between my husband and I.
He endeavours to cut through the mysticism shrouded by some of my previous sifus. He has debunked my earlier belief that I should defer such consultations to a more sagely and elderly master.
He managed to highlight my weak kidney and blood issues based on my BaZi alone without any prior hints. Really great thumbs up on his health advice — and really thankful for it.
Just his attitude and sincere answering in ensuring that you fully understand is already worth the money. He is truly the model practitioner for the new era. I will not hesitate to recommend him highly.
