Dear Joey, you book "Bazi Revealed" is tremensously helpful...sincere thanks. I have 2 nigging questions hope can help: 1)Day Pillar is Jia- Yin & Month Pillar is Wu- Wu. Present first Water Luck Pillar is Gui- Ren. The Jia Wood Day Master is supported by the only Ren Water is the Hour Eartthly Branch. How will the Gui Water impact on the Wu Horse in the Zi Rat Year? Given the Gui Water will be rooted next year,will you see a substantively strengthened Jia Wood here onwards? 2)Refers your article in the Star paper dated 23 Sept. 2007. What is the source of reference for the following: Dragon Virtue Star, Fortune Virtue Star, Moon Star & Sun Star? How can I derive these stars on a year-to-year basis? Also it appears that these stars for 2007 & 2008 are the same, as per your article. It will be helpful if you can illucidate on the above. Thnaks & regards.

Hi Lee,

1. I am assuming you are refering to the Luck Pillar "Gui Hai" as opposed to "Gui Ren". The Water element is of course strengthened next year. However, the Wu would combine the Gui for the second time in your chart. I don't have your full chart, so I am guesstimating, that this should concern your health next year. Perhaps it's time to do a routine check up, particularly to 'heart' and 'eyes'. If not, it could also relate to the wellbeing of your Mom or an elderly lady.

2. Source of reference is Xie Ji Bian Fang Shu - The Book of Unifying Times and Discerning Dimensions (Qing Dynasty). I have also written a book called 'Dong Gong Date Selection' which is not available at the bookstores. This book has the charts for the subsequent years tabulated. If you are interested you may purchase a copy from my office.

Warm Regards, JY
