In a Chinese Astrology consultation, you can find out more detailed information about your health and advice on ways to help improve it. In a series of ten posts, we will explore the Ten Selves further and how each Self has its very own dominant organ (meridian) which holds significant influence on your overall well-being. This post focuses on the Jia Self. (Want to learn more about Jia people? Just follow the link: http://altheachineseastrology.blogspot.rs/2018/01/ten-selves-jia-people.html ) Your meridian is the Gallbladder. The Gallbladder meridian makes you impulsive, competitive and prone to bouts of anger.  In general, the stamina of Jia people is very resilient, however, should they fall ill they often require a lengthy time to recuperate fully. Health advice: •     Meditate or find another way to relax regularly •     Avoid fatty foods •     Stretching exercises (a must!)...

What impression does your Self give? Water holds many untold secrets…  We began our ‘Ten Selves’ posts with the first Heavenly Stem of the Chinese Four Pillars (Jia Wood), and we will conclude this section with the subtle Gui people – one of whom is Anthony Bourdain! Emotion, imagination and deep wisdom drive Gui people. Like every Water Element, they can represent an impression of a calm person. However, complex personality shifts beneath the waves, charged by deep and changeable emotions. They are symbolized as mist or rain – their nature is unquestionably nourishing as it falls.  Gui people are rarely indifferent, but they might give off an air of distance or come across as being introverted.  Otherwise, they are friendly and can easily attach to others due to their compassionate nature. People feel that they can confide in them because they are good listeners as well as being very protective and support...

What does your Self reveal about you?   Your Self matters – it determines who You are!   Water will always carve its path.  The strength of your Self depends on the season you were born. For instance, if you were born in November, December or January – your Water Self will be strong.  Ren Water is represented by prominent and powerful currents – like in streams, large lakes, the sea, and oceans. Beneath the tranquil appearance, Ren people are bold, fast and dynamic. Like water is ever flowing, they refuse to stay still – their mind and body continually thrumming with activity.  Curiosity leads them to try new things; their adventurous spirit can sometimes wander them into trouble. Whatever the problem though, they will always find a solution. As keen observers of their surroundings, they’re always on the lookout to spot – and snap up – opportunities with creativity and inspiring enthusiasm.  Despite be...

What does your Self reveal about you?   Your Self matters – it determines who You are!  To read a destiny, you have to know the self.  The Metal Elements (Geng) and (Xin) can be separated into ‘hard’ and ‘soft’ categories.  Xin is the ‘softer,’ but not necessarily ‘gentler’ Metal Element Self. Most Xin individuals are known for their excellent communication skills and insatiable curiosity.  These charming and talkative people always have something to say – they prefer to be both ‘seen’ and ‘heard’ at the same time! Especially if they are right.  Xin is a polished metal and Xin people want to get noticed. The external world is where they shine and thrive, where they are always in reach of knowledge and updated on current events – often by using their wit and humor to get the information they need. Due to these qualities, Xin people can quickly adapt to situations to suit their personal...

What does your Self reveal about you?   Your Self matters – it determines who You are!  How sharp are is your Self?  The Metal Elements (Geng) and (Xin) can be separated into ‘hard’ and ‘soft’ categories. Geng people are often cold, aloof and untouchable – much like Arnold Schwarzenegger! They are the sword that’s been sharpened for war.  Appearing rigid and strong-willed is beneficial, because once a Geng individual has set themselves a goal – nothing will stop them from actioning it. They love the tang of challenge and the rush of fighting for the right cause – especially if they will savor the victory! Winning is very important to their self-esteem. Geng people can create an issue from almost nothing. They can get diverted easily, wasting time and energy on insignificant causes. In general, Geng people can tolerate the ups and downs that life bring eq...

What does your Self reveal about you?   Your Self matters – it determines who you are!   The promise of the most fertile land is that whatever you plant - it will grow…  Unlike the reserved Wu individuals, Ji people are ‘softer’ in nature who tend to be realistic, practical and down-to-earth. If they promise you something – they’ll move Heaven and Earth to see that the promise is kept!  Ji people are resourceful and highly organized, checking things off their agenda at a steady pace that they set. Some can be open and curious, however, once they accept someone they are incredibly attentive. Their soft, nurturing side enables them to be good providers and caregivers. Beware though – their nature can be taken advantage of and exploited by others.  At their best, Ji people set an example to others on growth, development, and support to others.  Color:  Yellow Organ/Meridian: The Spleen Season: ...
