Tips about engaging a Bazi Practitioner

(Disclaimer: I'm not a practitioner nor expert in any ways. I'm just sharing my point of view in this subject.)

Bazi

It's an ancient Chinese art to understand oneself using birth chart reading with symbols of nature namely Fire, Earth, Metal, Water and Wood aka the 5 elements.

Everyone is born in blocks of 2 hours thus having 12 different timing in 24 hours. Since there are ying and yang, the element also splits into example, ying fire and yang fire. There are 12 months in 365 days creating 4 seasons represented by 5 elements thus we have 60 pillars in combinations.

Our birth chart is presented in 4 pillars in the hour, day, month and year.

I'm not going to write every detail of it because it would be impossible. I would just like to express my thoughts in this subject.

Many people engaged a Bazi reading practitioner to read their fortune and seek advice. Nothing is wrong with that but understanding what to expect is important. A practitioner (in my context) can only predict your luck to a certain extent. There is no practitioner that can tell you for sure that at a certain timing in detail what you are going to encounter. That's simply not possible. Do you know on a day within a 2 hours period how many babies are born? Are they all going to be knock down by a car at the same time? NO...

How to save money?

Saving money is easier said than done. All people agreed that it is important to save up for the raining days but with the temptations and sales going on from time to time, many fall prey to marketing strategies and end up with unnecessary stuffs.

Many people adopted a way of saving money by setting aside a predetermined amount and stick to it. Think about it, if you were to set aside $300 once you got your salary and forgetting having that money, nothing is going to stop you from saving $3600 a year. This method is when a unpredictable situation occurred that needed money, you have it. That's the purpose of it! Raining days and you have the umbrella. The problem with it is that people tends to target these saving in blocks of success. They might need $2000 for the situation and thus rendered the balance $1600 as an extra (Well at least for me). Instead of thinking that now they already had 5 months of $300 saving and 7 more months to hit the target again, they feel that the $3600 vows has broken and $1600 has to go in order to "reset" the clock for monthly $300. Another problem with this method is the inflexibility. We all need different amount of money on different month of the year (yearly road tax, insurance, property tax,etc). Saving a fixed amount of monthly seem easier for some months and not for the others.
