THE BAZI BUZZ
Carla and Michelle, BFF?
One is a Yi, the other is a Xin. Is it possible for them to be BFFs? Carla Sarkozy is a 辛 酉 and Michelle Obama is a 乙 丑. So on the surface, it looks like frenemies rather than BFF. But, because the 酉 and 丑 are part of...
Options…give me options!
Clients ask for this all the time. They want options. Choices. A or B? Not good enough. They want A, B, C, D, the kitchen sink, half the farm and the moon on a silver platter as well please. BaZi always gets oversold,...
Big Idea vs Small Idea
Call it the curse of Chinese Metaphysics. Just as students of Feng Shui are obsessed with 'The Formula', so students of BaZi are obsessed with 'The Technique'. In my recent M2 class, any mention of an advanced approach...
The Dirty on the Peach Blossom Star
A reader sent me a great list of questions about Peach Blossom Stars to answer. I thought that instead of writing the answer to just her, I'd print them here, and answer them. Ok, when is it extremely auspicious when...
From one 乙 Wood to another 乙 Wood…
Who else would know how to save the face of a Yi Wood, but another Yi Wood? In a sense, it was win win. Both got leverage and mileage out of the event. Clinton ostensibly was there just to bring back the two...
My BaZi Consultant is a male chauvinist PIG!
...or a bossy, overbearing bitch who thinks she knows everything. (See "I am a terrible BaZi Consultant") Well, we'll talk about the overbearing bossy bitch another time. This week, let's talk about the Male Chauvinist...
Get Yourself Some Guinea Pigs
So over the course of teaching BaZi Module Two last weekend, I had a couple of brand new ideas. I was trying to give the students some pointers/tips on how best to go about making use of their newfound mind-boggling...
I am a terrible BaZi consultant.
I really am. I'm solution-orientated and goal driven as a consultant. So if you don't know what you want, I'm a terrible Bazi Consultant. I'm all about the bottom-line and practical, sensible advice. So if you're...
The Pursuit of HappIness
I saw this great article by Margaret Carlson on Bloomberg entitled "Sex, Fame bring no joy to Masters of the Universe". I just came off teaching my Bazi for Relationships class, wherein I harped on the subject matter...
Connecting the Dots…
I read this speech many years ago...and found the live version on YouTube. When Steve Jobs (a Bing) talks about Connecting the Dots...it is at the core of the idea of BaZi and Destiny. Enjoy...
Obsession – the key to BaZi Mastery…
...ah, I am feeling a bit impish today. My mantra to students who learn BaZi is always to BE A BUSYBODY. You can't succeed in BaZi without being a busybody. It's an intellectual interest, and that by necessity requires...
Oh Bo!
Is it any surprise that President Barack Obama chose a Portuguese Water Dog as his family pet? Will Bo cause some PR trouble come July 09?
