Chinese Astrology basics
Chinese Astrology: History and Basic Information
During the time of the majestic Imperial
Court back in ancient China, astrology played an influential role in the
Emperor’s decision making. Records of Chinese astrology have been found in the
Forbidden City depict that it has been practiced for more than 3,000 years!
Chinese astrology is a comprehensive source of information ranging from one’s destiny and luck to inherent personal potentials and limitations. Every year, month, day, hour (and even minute) can be expressed in sexagenarian cycles, a unique combination of one Heavenly Stem and one Earthly Branch.
The Four Pillars Astrology is based more on
the Solar or Hsia calendar, which is aligned with the longitude of the Sun on
the ecliptic – causing every solar year to begin between the 3rd and 5th of February.
The sample Chinese Astrology Chart
This type of astrology focuses on the Five Elements (Earth, Wind, Fire, Water, Wood). It is the consulting astrologer’s primary goal to suggest ways to the client to create a balance. Everyone’s life and circumstance are unique, so the methods to achieve balance will be varied.
It influences the individual in 10-year
time frames, whether the influence is positive or negative depending on the
Five Elements. Some periods can bring intense activity – others can bring
stagnation. By evaluating the importance of an individual’s 10-year luck
cycles, the astrology practitioner can foresee significant developments in the
client’s life.
From a business perspective, Chinese
astrologists can see which life cycles are beneficial for expansion and
determine the most accessible path for that individual to prosper.
Any practicing Chinese astrologer worth their salt must know the Four Pillars. Each of the Four Pillars on the Four Pillars Chart represents aspects of an individual’s life and personality. As everyone is unique, the Four Pillars can also relate to specific ages or phrases in life.
The Four Pillars can fall into the internal and external.
External Year and Month Pillars
represent what people can perceive about people around them without crossing
proximities.
Internal Day and Hour Pillars indicate who we are in more exceptional detail, representing our hidden traits and our private hopes, dreams, and ambitions.
