The Role of the Ba Zi in feng shui work by Richard ASHWORTH
Since 2697BC the Chinese have measured time with the cycle of the 60 Animals. 2009 for instance is an Earth Rat as was 1949. Such "twinned" years share a resonance. For instance in both the Metal Snake years 1941 and 2001, America having recently elected a President on a non-intervention ticket, was plunged by a guerrilla attack into a long and bloody war. The gan zi Cycle applies equally to days, months and hours and describes something objectively real. We all probably know we are a Fire Tiger or whatever. What we may not know is the ba zi from which the Animal is drawn. The Chinese observed this Productive Cycle in nature. The Rat is followed by the Ox and the Tiger because this is precisely how the energy of a day proceeds: first the wood of the Tiger and Rabbit, the element of fresh light and of stirring. After this there is a rest in the earth of the Dragon hour. Then follows the outgoing and innovative fire energy of the Snake and Horse then the earth of the Sheep. The metal of the Monkey follows as the day's gains are counted and stored and then the chattering and drinking of the Rooster followed by further rest under the guardianship of the Dog and the cold dark water of the Pig and Rat. From this observable cycle we can draw many conclusions. The ba zis of the famous show this graphically. Now if we can know total strangers, we can speculate about people we are going to meet: what sort of house they live in and indeed ought to live in, what elements need boosting, their best orientations, where to sleep and work and what challenges and opportunities may await them. The ba zi offers all of this before we meet them.

Richard Ashworth's work has been highlighted many times in the media but he is probably best known for introducing authentic Chinese Imperial Feng Shui to BBC tv's Housebusters and for his book The Feng Shui Diaries.  He is internationally famous for his ground breaking transformational work with the ba zi or Four Pillars of Destiny, otherwise misleadingly known as Chinese Horoscope.
