Kicking off the fourth month of 2011 was the BaZi Mastery Series™ Modules 1 and 2 at Mastery Academy in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Leading the program, attended by students from various backgrounds, was Jessie Lee, Mastery Academy senior consultant and instructor.

BaZi Mastery Series™ Modules 1 and 2 is a beginner level program, developed by Joey Yap, on the Chinese Astrology study also known as Eight Characters or the Four Pillars of Destiny. BaZi uses a person's birth data – the Year, Month, Day and Time - to plot a chart that can derive accurate information on his or her personality, strengths and weaknesses, talents and potential in life.

In the Module 1 session on April 2, the students familiarized themselves with the fundamentals of BaZi and the pre-requisite skills for analyzing a BaZi chart. At the same time, they also learnt to identify Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches, analyze Day Masters to uncover individual traits and attributes, amongst others.

On April 3 to 5, students who already underwent Module 1 continued their in-depth lesson with Module 2. For this module, they learnt how to plot a BaZi chart on their own, identify the Combinations, Clashes, Harms, Destruction and Punishments, and study about the basic structures of the Ten Gods.

Throughout the program, they used actual BaZi charts – their own or of loved ones, friends or business associates – to practice their skills, which made the learning experience more fun and easy to grasp. Clearly, both Modules made an impact on the students as it has open up their minds to a whole new way of looking at Chinese Astrology, which differs from the typical Twelve Animal Signs.

Conducted in English, BaZi Mastery Series™ Modules 1 and 2 was held between 10am and 5pm daily. For more info on upcoming programs, visit its website here.
