Jovan Tay ( 鄭 黎 明 )

The 5 Elements (Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal and Water) not only represent organs and physical body in BaZi. It also represent other intriguing aspects such as emotions, spiritual and love languages.

Wood Element in conventional BaZi relates with liver and sour taste. It also represent aspects of the spirit, repress anger as well as a need for time. In a work environment Wood indicates a need for both intrinsic and extrinsic growth; as well as passive and active growth. Passive is a need (i.e. mentor, coach and teachers inducing the growth on an individual) while Active is becoming a driver for others’ growth (i.e. becoming the mentor, coach and teacher).

Demystify Academic Stars

Jovan Tay ( 鄭 黎 明 )

During the era of the past, BaZi practitioner learn BaZi by way of memorize verse and poems. In the modern time, there is a rely on techonlgy such as Apps and Online Calculator.

In the poem (below), let’s take a closer look and understand the corresponding stems/ branch. And we would realize that the 4 Earth Branch often regarded as tomb or storage (i.e Dragon, Dog, Ox. Goat) are left out.

甲乙巳午報君知，
丙戊申宮丁己雞。
庚豬辛鼠壬逢虎，
癸人見卯入雲梯。

Yang Wood Corresponding with Snake
Yin Wood Corresponding with Horse
Yang Fire Corresponding with Monkey
Yin Fire Corresponding with Rooster
Yang Earth Corresponding with Monkey
Yin Earth Corresponding with Rooster
Yang Metal Corresponding with Pig
Yin Metal Corresponding with Rat
Yang Water Corresponding with Tiger
Yin Water Corresponding with Rabbit

The Academic Stars are basically the Day Stem’s output branch (i.e. Wood produce Fire) only exception is Earth which goes on to the next element as Metal; there is a FengShui reason and application for it. The Academic Stars comes in both polarity – Yin / Yang branch that is associated with Day Stem.

In the classics, ONLY the day stem is taken as the point of reference. Whereas in modern days there is a NEW-AGE view and the BaZi year, month and hour (or even minutes) stems are regard as reference points. And, it has also been programmed and build into Apps and Online Calculator. There is no right or wrong, it’s therefore up to each practitioner application and analysis.
