My oh my, I can’t believe this is the second case study inspired by Single’s Inferno. You know you’re having a midlife crisis and are sick of meaningless zodiac forecasts when you’re…

I never thought the day I’d write this would come, but I think the stars have aligned, and I feel compelled to write something. It’s time to rattle the cage, unleash the kraken. So, grab…
Did you miss me in all my irrelevance and my unabashed ability to dress Cat. 4s down like a salad? Skibidi. Because I am back with a vengeance. I may be busy with parenting, but life is a…

I initially wanted this to be purely a case study of an unfortunate life, but I figured I’d bring in some relatable topics that anyone exposed to astrology would think of – the “nurture vs…
I am on a blogging roll thanks to Mercury Retrograde. I’ll be blunt like I always am. Doing a Qi Men Dun Jia divination on Singapore’s 2023 Presidential Election feels pointless. We all know…
Hear ye, hear ye! Mercury is in retrograde now and in none other than Virgo, which is its place of domicile. Mercury Retrogrades is my favourite time of the year because it’s like a festival…
Although I’m technically not friends with most of my readers, I think it’s fair to say that everyone knows me better than some of your friends or acquaintances by now. I’m an open book and…
Time for one of my favourite topics that never fails to get me incensed. Annual. Zodiac. Forecasts. I think a corgi dies each time I have to utter these three words. Whenever we think of…
Announcement: Dear readers, thank you for subscribing to my blog updates throughout all these years. I will be temporarily sunsetting my Mailchimp updates till I find a more cost-effective…
Meghan Markle is the talk of the town now, and I’ve been getting requests to do a case study on her. It’s interesting to note that not many practitioners of BaZi or Zi Wei Dou Shu have…

If Qi Men Dun Jia can be used to catching cheating spouses, rest assured it can be used to detect if someone is lying. I’m sure everyone has caught wind of the news that Donald Trump is down…
A lot of people would be curious whether their BaZi charts are suitable for starting their own business and being their own boss. I was once in this position too. I wrote a piece of what…
What I’m about to do in this post will be a first and might be a bit controversial. In all of my posts, no one will ever know who the charts belong to. I do post screenshots of my WhatsApp…
One use of Qi Men Dun Jia forecasting which many people aren’t aware of is to use it for matters related to law, in particular, litigation and lawsuits. You can actually use Qi Men Dun Jia…
To any newcomer to Zi Wei Dou Shu, the Zi Wei star is probably the very first star they’ll be introduced. The reason why the name of this ancient Chinese astrological method is named after a…

What makes two BaZi charts compatible? BaZi compatibility is not about matching Day Masters, which is the popular shortcut and the wrong one. Real compatibility is read from the whole chart…
I think it’s about time where I write one of those ‘reminder posts’ as a lot of the important posts are starting to get buried and unnoticed in the archives. Let’s not talk about Chinese…
Hey everyone! As you can tell I’m blogging a lot more these days thanks to the user-friendliness of WordPress. I wanted to share one of the cases I got to work on earlier this year. I did a…

Hi everyone! Hope everyone is enjoying the long weekend! I’ve been finding it a lot easier to get motivation to blog and write articles on metaphysics recently thanks to my new health…
Reading and deciphering a BaZi chart is never easy. One topic that often comes up in Bazi is Follower Charts because they are rare, which naturally leads people to believe they are a special…
This is going to be a short entry. I thought I’d share something interesting with everyone here. I’ve had one of my more memorable consultations a few days ago which marks a milestone in my…
What Is The Spouse Element? “Spouse Element” is a modern mainstream term for pointing out which element in your chart represents your romantic partner, wife, or husband. Whenever we assess…

We have officially entered into the Year of the Fire Monkey, 丙申年, on 4th February 2016. A lot of people are confused as to why the ‘new year’ starts on 4th of February instead of 8th…
Hi everyone! Apologies for missing out on the blog post last week! This week, I’ll be touching on the topic of common misconceptions of BaZi quickly. I’ve come across a lot of hobbyists who…
I’ve been asked very often whether people with the same birthdays will have the same fate and my answer would always be “no”. There’s a huge misconception that a person’s BaZi determines…
