How was your life during school years? Were you thriving?
Did you feel any significant change after you turned 26 or 27?
Can you identify really good years and really bad years (aside of 2022, 2023)?

Hi Coldpillow,
Life during school years, i wouldnt say it was a good one since i was in a really toxic relationship with my ex bf. And coming from a big family with 6 siblings, i didnt get much attention from my parents, so i feel kinda lonely.
Yes i got married when i was 26, life has been much better since i met my husband and gave birth to my kids. Less stressfull i would say.
I feel like starting mid 2022 until now its quite hard for me.. with business going down and i just lost my mom on July 2023.. and a bit of clash with my siblings regarding inheritance. actually business was getting better on June, but with my mom being sick and then passed away, i couldnt really focus.
I run this online shop since 2014 with my husband with a lot of ups and downs, and i dont see that reselling other people's brand would bring growth to us in the future. So we've been thinking about launching our own brand in bodycare.

You may have to struggle with instability for a while until 2036. If you live long enough to reach 2046, I think life is really good at last.
With a normal weak chart, your life is better when your decade luck pillar has water and wood. Beware of difficulties when water is missing... especially in the branch. Wood is still useful, but it also strengthens your fire and earth.

Hi Cloudpillow
Yes thats what i felt🥲 i feel like my life is really unstable
But do you think its a bad idea to start a new business this year or perhaps next year?
-
I think you can start your business this year or next year. However, don't get discouraged when your business clashes with family issues and maybe take extra caution if your business relies on debt.
How is 2019, 2020 and 2021? These are water years, which should be good.
How about 1999, 2000 and 2011, 2012? These are wood years, Mao (rabbit) and Chen (dragon).

Hi Coldpillow,
Yes i'm trying to change my mindset , because i easily got discouraged.. i feel like everything that i did would somehow failed😂 taking the first step is always the hardest. But if i didnt take a leap of faith this time, i dont think my current business would thrive🥲
2019-2021 is actually quite good in terms of financially, business is thriving during covid
I dont quite remember 1999-2000 since i was quite young back then. But 2011-2012 i remember that i ended my relationship with my ex boyfriend and i was quite depressed. I met my husband 2012, then got married 2014.

Things may slow down from 2025 to 2030 (6 years). Earth, fire and metal are strong in those years. Do whatever you can to ensure that your business can adapt better.
If you can survive until 2031, things should get easier from there. The ups and downs may not feel as stressful compared to previous years/decades.

Hi Coldpillow
Thankyou so much for your advice, I'm gonna try my best to adapt during 2025-2030, I can only pray and do whatever I can to survive. I always thought that I have no capabilities to do something "big" so I tend to back off with my ideas. I'm scared of failure. Hopefully I can have a bit of luck launching my own body care brand😂

That's correct. You are not quite ready (strong enough) to withstand enormous pressure.
We can't win anything big if we are afraid of that thing called risk. But we have wisdom, we know the best about our own limit and capability. Take it one step a time.
I guess the 2nd half of this decade will be your moment of truth (from 2025-2030). If you pass the stress test, then you will be rewarded.

Hi @ding28 ,
I use five elements interaction Bazi method and would like to give your chart a try.
From your previous replies, I don't get the vibe that you looking for the technical aspects of the reading, just the answers, so I shall not go deep into the calculations.
But if you are interested, let me know and I can give you the play-by-play.
---
Firstly, from just your natal chart, 2 things stand out:
- You are very intelligent (presence of 3 earth = 3 wealth elements). You tend to see things in terms of its value. Wealth luck also governs the luck when you are running your own business.
- You don't have natural luck working under employment (zero metal = zero career element)
So running your own business is the best choice.
As I scroll through your years, I realise for your entire growing-up years, into adulthood, before your marriage, there are many earth and fire elements, so you are outspoken and your intelligence really shines through.
Coming to the 2016-2035 block, the no. of earth drops and no. of wood increases.
Wood is your peer element, and since in this time block you are running a business, I feel the wood represents the presence of your competitors.
From 2021 to 2022, there was a drop in earth luck, hence your business seems like it was going down.
July 2023 was a very strong earth month.
While it helped boost your business a little, it also clashed with your mother, who is represented by a water element for your chart.
The earth also clashes with your siblings (wood), hence inheritance issues.
2024 has increased wealth element, which is good for starting your business, but beware months of May and June where the stress levels are the highest for the year.
2026-2035 will be generally challenging, most challenging point being:
- 2029 - signs of loss of wealth, perhaps legal related
- 2034, in May and June
If you make it to 2036, you should be able to enjoy the fruits of your labour.

Hi aeonrel
Well before marriage, I worked as an employee in a bank, and I wasn't really "shining'
Decide to quit and start my own business, it seems that i have better luck in business rather than working as an employee..
But I wasn't really able to grow my business though.. one moment it looks like its gonna thrive and then boom the sales just fell down to the ground.
2021 was actually really great, it starts going down in June 2022.
And yes, May-June 2023 i feel a little boost in my business, and then my mom passed away, I feel so lost :'(
I gathered all my courage to start this new business, hopefully this business would thrive.
from your point of view do you think 2026-2035 is even more challenging compared this current time block?

Well, there you go.
No career luck = flat employment luck
If you pursued a life work under others, it will be lackluster in the end.
Nothing particularly bad, but no potential for greater heights.
As for the business side of things, I can see from your chart that through the years, your wealth luck is kind of like a sinusoidal wave - goes up a year, down a year, up again, down again, something like that.
It may be a roller coaster ride, but take it positively that all these are learning and practices to prepare you for a better future.
from your point of view do you think 2026-2035 is even more challenging compared this current time block?
Generally speaking, yes, because your Day Master element appears in the 2026-2035 time block. This leaves you more susceptible to damage from the rolling years. The peak of this bad luck happens in 2029 and 2034 as previously mentioned, but there are also roller coaster changes to other elements during this period.

hi aeonrel,
This is exactly what I felt right now :(
Actually I've been planning to launch my own brand for a long time.. but deep down inside I have this thought that I have bad luck in doing business ::) so I always hesitate to try new things. But this time I'm trying my best to out from my comfort zone. Hopefully with hard work this could lead to success.
If you don't mind me asking, I met a bazi practitioners few years ago, she said that i have this travelling horse star in the next time block
Does that mean that i might be relocating or perhaps travelling related to work?

I have been encouraged by another forum member to share your chart for reference. Attached to this reply is my explanation on the sinusoidal effect of your wealth luck. You can ignore it if you are not interested in the inner workings of Bazi and just want the answers. There are obviously other things happening in the chart that is not related to wealth, but I did not highlight them as your question is focused on your business.
Side tidbit: Having more of one element coming into your chart through the years and months is not a guaranteed good outcome for those areas of life. As evidenced from your chart, more wealth coming in may end up creating worse luck, depending on the interaction outcome of the 5 elements.
If you don't mind me asking, I met a bazi practitioners few years ago, she said that i have this travelling horse star in the next time block

Travelling horse is a Shen Sha 神煞 terminology in Bazi. The Bazi school I use disregards 神煞 because it views it as a derivative concept of the core five elements interaction, so it offers only a possibility, not a confirmation. But if you wish to understand its application: the travelling horse in question here is the 寅. It is derived from your 辰 based on fixed traditional Bazi rules. With 辰 in your year pillar and 寅 in your Day Pillar, the resultant prediction is that you will leave your hometown during adulthood - perhaps this is when you moved from Hong Kong to Surabaya? 寅 appears again in your next time block, which suggest there will be some movement in your life, but it does not indicate exactly for what purpose. I can only use logic that since this business venture seems to be quite significant to you, it might probably be for work.
2034 has also another 寅, on top of the 10-year block's 寅, so such a strong travelling fate suggest relocation instead of a short travel. I will back it up with my Bazi calculation whereby it is also a 甲 year, and 甲 is your Day Master. So some month will damage your 甲 in the annual pillar, causing chained harm to the Day Master itself, meaning it will be a stressful year. Since relocating is a stressful event, this 2 fates may be linked this way.
There is another travelling horse 申, derived from having 寅 in your Day Pillar. 2028 is a 申 year, so on top of the 10-year block's 寅, you have a circumstance where it is double travelling horse again, so relocation is possible. Money loss is very likely as 2028 is also a 戊 year, and again, at months where the 戊 gets hurt, there is a combo loss of wealth with the other 戊 in your natal chart (see attachment for explanation example). So maybe you will be spending extra money for the relocation, if I were to link the two scenarios together.

Just remember that all these readings of destiny are just possibilities, not guarantees. For an outcome to come true, it requires 3 components: destiny, feng shui, personal actions. Even when destiny points one direction, you can change course via personal actions (or Feng Shui, if you are interested).
The reasons you might end up travelling for, in the end, may not be as important as whether or not the purpose is successful.

I moved from hongkong to surabaya when i was around 3-4 y.o if i'm not mistaken. I moved out from my parents house when i was 28 when i got pregnant with my daughter. Maybe moving to a new house explain that?
2034 has also another 寅, on top of the 10-year block's 寅, so such a strong travelling fate suggest relocation instead of a short travel.

Ah I see, I always dreamed about relocating so I can live close to my sisters when I'm older. Never thought I could get out from here since relocating needs a lot of money to start a new life in another country 😂 Hopefully by 2034 I could save enough and move there so my kids could have better opportunity for their education.

Thankyou so much aeronel for your time explaining this for me☺️ I actually never had the confidence in me that I'm capable to build a successful business, since I lost my dad quite early, so I didnt get the guidance that I need. But I will try my best since based on your analysis of my chart the heaven luck is in my favour this year and next year. 😬 Now it just depends on my action to actually make it happen. :)

hi @aeonrel
sorry can i ask you one more question?
based on my chart do you think fiber drink / collagen drink (in powder form) also suitable with my element?
-
Hey @ding28 ,
I moved out from my parents house when i was 28 when i got pregnant with my daughter. Maybe moving to a new house explain that?
Possibly, but personally I feel maybe that is not a strong enough move to justify for it. This general "leave home during adulthood" literally covers the entirety of your adulthood until before old age. So maybe the move hasn't arrived yet. In the end, whether you move or not, to me, it doesn't really matter. As long your life turns out well :) Unless the anticipation is giving you frustrations, then maybe there is a need to drill deeper.
Ah I see, I always dreamed about relocating so I can live close to my sisters when I'm older. Never thought I could get out from here since relocating needs a lot of money to start a new life in another country 😂 Hopefully by 2034 I could save enough and move there so my kids could have better opportunity for their education.
If you are still active in this forum by then, do return to a note and tell us if that really came true ;) It will be good to see how accurate our predictions are.

Sorry to hear that about your father :( A little wasted. Because strong wealth luck also = better relationship with father. If he was around longer, you could have enjoyed that bond more.
All that being said about your business luck though, as I worked out your year-by-year luck up till now, you can see that despite your stronger affinity to running your own business, it does not mean smooth sailing all the way. Having the wealth luck present can help boost or also make it susceptible to clashes/combine. This was the case for your sinusoidal wave. So if you really want to be prepared, perhaps you can try some fortune telling on a yearly basis to preempt the immediate challenges, then you can factor it into your planning to take on more risky business maneuvers or lie low for the year. At least until 2036, where it seems your wealth luck is more stable.
based on my chart do you think fiber drink / collagen drink (in powder form) also suitable with my element?
Wow wee...this is really pushing my capabilities as a Bazi beginner ;D
So, when it comes to nutrition and health, I think it is a topic more under Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM).
Rule of thumb: Bazi should not be used as a first-line diagnostic tool to replace a proper medical assessment. It can offer a 2nd opinion or alternative view as to where the problem lie, especially those symptoms where no matter how the doctors assess / test / treat, it doesn't seems to improve the condition, and the doctors are dumbfounded.
2nd general rule: Processed food, including supplements, are never good as replacement to actual nutrition. Because we can't be sure if the other components / additives / processing conditions will introduce carcinogens. According to 8 Pillars/Branches of TCM, nutrition through fresh food > treatment via massages and acupunctures > taking herbs / medications / supplements. Because collagen powders are processed products, I am a bit wary of taking too much of it in powdered form. I would rather you take it from fresh food.
But, if we just contain the discussion to fiber and collagen drink, here's my rudimentary analysis:
- Collagen helps skin, tendon, bones, muscles. It cuts across the TCM organs of water, earth, wood and metal. There is a 寅亥 combination in your chart that I did not talked about because it wasn't the focus. But it means naturally the wood energy from 寅 and the water energy from 亥 is lost. The 亥 is also your only water in your natal chart. Also, you have no metal at all in your chart. While your earth is strong, it is susceptible to ups and downs over the years as mentioned. So to me, yes, perhaps the collagen is useful.
- Fiber drink could be an intake of wood, which as mentioned above, since the 寅 wood is affected, perhaps it helps too.
The whole advice on the food stuff is entirely based on my guess. Please don't take my word for it blindly. Consult a doctor or a TCM therapist for conformation!

Yep actually I had better relationship with my father, but since my father passed away and my mom got older, she decided to live with me so we had better relationship compared to when I was younger.. Its so devastating to have her left me so soon.

Ah yes that makes sense ;D I'm prone to get depressed easily, so I'm hoping that I will be able to pass this stress test ;D

Your self-element will peak starting from 2026 to 2035. This means you will be strong enough to endure the stress test.
I think it's similar to a big match in competitive sport. Take it one step at a time (thinking about winning a point), don't look too far ahead (thinking about winning the trophy).
If you're a weak DM, it's better to withdraw from the match. Either you will suffer humiliating defeat or get injured from hard work.

Hi @coldpillow
Thankyou for your reply :)
Based on my chart, I suppose that I'm a weak DM ?
So its better to lay low during 2026-2035 not taking any risky moves?
-
So its better to lay low during 2026-2035 not taking any risky moves?
Yes, you're a weak DM but will be much stronger during that particular period.
Whether prepared or not, the situation may force you to get out of the comfort zone.
The most important thing is awareness before making a big decision. You may take the risk or not according to your calculation.

Hi @coldpillow
Noted, thankyou for your advice.
Yes i just recently start to live streaming for my shop which is wayyy out of my comfort zone😂
I'm actually an introvert person, I feel really uncomfortable to show my self in front of public, but since the business going down, i tried my best to adapt to the current trend.
Its just most of the times my mind goes to the worst case scenario that holding me back.😅

Uh...the 寅亥 combination in your natal chart hour and day pillar would be the source of your overthinking and introversion.
寅 is your ability/luck with connecting with others, 亥 is your protective thinking.
Combination means loss of 寅 and 亥, leading to weaker connection to others and a detrimental effect from over thinking.
So personally, I think doing live streaming is directly going against this 寅亥 combination, which will be very uncomfortable, challenging and pressurising.
But you can always take it as a training - hard-earned skills for you to springboard to greater heights in the future.

Hi @aeonrel
Perhaps you have advice on how can i reduce my overthinking?
It has been torturing me for the last few months.🥲
With my mom passed away and business went down no matter how hard i tried to find a solution, the result just didnt meet my expectation :( 2023 seems to be the worst year of my life. I feel like a failure :-\
-
Hi @ding28 ,
Specific to the live streaming thing, past few months would have been doubly difficult.
July 未, August 申, September 酉 will either drain or clash with the 2023's 卯 branch.
卯 wood is your luck with peers/crowd + natural introversion due to 寅亥, that is why I think live stream is an uphill challenge.
As for general overall overthinking, I think because this year's 癸 (your support - self-reflection, luck with mother) is combined away by your chart's 戊 (you wealth - business luck, pursuit of goals).
It should improve a bit after 2024 Chinese New Year, once 癸 goes away.
Though I must say, 2024 is a 甲 year, which is the exposed branch of your Day Master...so it is an unstable period as well.
So I don't want to over promise, but earliest improvement is getting through 2023, but might go into 2024 as well.
By 2025, things should be better.
That's the problem with Bazi.
It is a time-based system that offers no direct solution, other than waiting for a better time to come again.
So in the event where it seems like you are hitting walls everywhere and you can't wait, or if the right elements will never come, then maybe you can try Feng Shui to boost your environmental luck, or other divination techniques like Liu Yao, WWG, Qi Men, to give you some directions, rather than struggling with the unknown alone.
Or if you are not into the mystical stuff, then you can also rely on pure will-power and bulldoze your way to happiness and success.
It is challenging, but not entirely impossible.

hi @aeonrel
Specific to the live streaming thing, past few months would have been doubly difficult.

to be honest this is really challenging, I've gathered all my courage to do live streaming but the result didn't meet my expectation. But I keep doing it anyway.

thankyou for your advice, regarding fengshui to boost my enviromental luck, any advice regarding this?
If I'm not mistaken, some master told me that i need water for my chart so i should add water element like mini fountain perhaps?
2023 really hits me hard.. Yes, it feels like I'm hitting walls everywhere this year. No matter how hard i tried to make situation better, I still fail ::)

@ding28 ,

No worries, some masters say every hardship is a form of life training.
Even if you quit now, later, or pull through it all, there is always something to learn from the journey.
I am personally learning I Ching / WWG now to fill in the gaps that Bazi cannot answer for big decisions.
You can try it, if you have the capacity and interest.

I don't know enough Feng Shui to advise on this unfortunately...
I think mini fountain will help in small ways, but the suitable placement for such things is not something I have studied yet.

Hi @aeonrel

Yes, I do understand its a life training.. I feel this year has been the lowest point of my life.. losing my mom and business going bad, Its been months since I could sleep properly.
Sometimes I couldn't help to wonder whether I will be able to get through this or not. The amount of stress is just unbearable. Everything that i did to make situation better just didn't met my expectation. I hit the wall everywhere I go. So I kinda hesitate to move forward with my new business plan with my current situation. I feel like I'm running out of luck. I didnt even trust my self ::)

I saw a lot of I Ching calculator online but unsure whether its accurate enough throwing the coins online? ;D

Hi Ding20,

An online calculator or you physically tossing coins, sticks, etc. are basically all the same.
It is the act and intention of casting a hexagram that is important.

Maybe lower your expectation a bit? Slow down your pursuit of wealth and reduce your list of wants.
Your online business should target overseas market and you need some kind of mentorship. The good ones may only exist online or somewhere far away from your hometown.
IMO, money is your enemy. Not friend.
To conquer your enemy and gain peace of mind, you need help from a spouse, source of income from overseas and mentorship from parental figures.

I would say that i dont usually chasing wealth that much.. but things really went bad since last year :( I'm just trying to make it stable like it used to be.

Is it all written in my chart? That my source of income would come from overseas? And yes I'm running my business with my husband.

Yes, you may have better luck selling to global market online.

Hello @coldpillow
Just a quick update, so last month one of my relatives offered me a chance to grow her business in retail through online platform since her business currently only focus in wholesale.
She is importing garment products from overseas. And yes, she is a parental figure in my family and i considered her as a mentor since she and her husband have a lot of experiences in business. I'm hoping that this could be a turning point of my life. So it seems it kinda match what you saw in my chart? That my source of my income would come from overseas? :D

The whole situation generally matches what I see, if it clears any doubt.

Hi there, I think overall your wealth luck gradually grows from 2024 (though on the surface looks like you losing some wealth), 2025 and 2026 are also generally ok for business dealings.
Do take note from 2027 onwards the business luck may go downward or unstable: there is some loss of wealth, and possibly some unhappiness due to wealth (maybe cashflow) issues. 2028 is the year you really have to pay attention as there could be big wealth loss, though you will somehow (barely) survive in the end. 2029 there could be some limbo in business/earnings as there be friendship/hubby/authority factors in your business dealings.
2030 generally is not a good year to do new things or take risks not just on your business and also your overall life. You could also be feeling depressed/stressed for that year as you feel that you cannot control external factors. Wealth also takes a beating for that year. Do especially watch out for taking rash acts under stress.

How are you doing, 3 months this business relationship?

From what I see, their help won't be a turning point or a springboard. More like a lifeline.
Hi @coldpillow
So far looking good, I learned a lot from her though. Some significant growth last month, hope this will continue to grow in the future 😊
I dont want to put my hopes too high though :-X life always dissapoint me.
