SOME FEATURES OF MANGPAI BAZI THAT ARE DIFFERENT THAN TRADITIONAL BAZI
1 DM strength is used very little.
2 Determination of DM strength is not as complicated as in traditional
3 Rather than DM strength, work process is the central concept. When the chart performs work, it's auspicious for the chart owner.
4 Grading of the natal chart can be assessed quickly. Grading means what is the level of achievement of this person. In traditional, we have to go through Luck Pillars before we can say anything
5 Favorable elements are more detailed. For example, in traditional we say Metal is a favorable element, that's it. But in Mangpai, we distinguish between the favorability of Geng, Xin, Shen and You
6 Tomb Branches (Chen, Xu, Wei and Chou) can provide so much information that traditional overlooks
7 Images are more widely used than in traditional Bazi.
8 Clash, harm and punishment can also be auspicious for the chart owner, depending on the work performed.
9 The Six Families 六親 are defined in a better way. For example, Output (Shi Shen or Shang Guan) can function as the Spouse Star, not only Wealth (Cai). It depends on the chart configurations. Another example, Father Star is not always Wealth Star (Cai). This is what traditional practitioners get confused in analyzing a father when a chart has no Wealth.
10 Wealth can be represented by other Deities than the Wealth Star (Cai). Conversely, under a certain configuration, Wealth Star may not represent wealth (finances). This is the reason that sometimes we see wealthy people without Wealth Star, and poor people with Wealth Star.
