Essential Ba Zi
What is Ba Zi?
Ba Zi (or the Four Pillars of Destiny) refers to the four temporal components needed to analysis the plan of your life: the hour, day, month and year of one’s birth.
Based on a Chinese analytical method, this approach is used to help someone gain a better knowledge and understanding of themselves. Its power lies in identifying the deeply-anchored mechanisms that interfere in our decision-making processes and relationships with others, while it also reveals our true nature and strengths. In addition, a Ba Zi analysis tells us about our general personality traits and tendencies in a variety of areas (relationships, career, health, money, etc.).
A Ba Zi session is like a personal development session, and in no way resembles an astrology reading. This method does not predict the future, but rather enables us to understand the internal mechanisms which influence our free-will. The aim is to allow us to make decisions with greater clarity, and avoid unfavourable situations. Ba Zi gives us the means to act and bring about true change, to restore harmony and fluidity to our existence.
Ba Zi is useful for both individuals and businesses.
