How The Four Pillars Of Destiny Are Used In Reading Fate
Feng shui is an ancient art that came from the ancient Chinese Culture. And just like the other Chinese practice and tradition, feng shui is also influenced with one if not the oldest astrological systems. The Chinese astrology believes in the idea of the four pillars of destiny.
For the record, the Chinese astrology has been in existence for thousands of years now. Many Chinese astrologers devoted their lives mapping and studying the skies. Unlike other astrological studies, Chinese astrology is more complex and it may prove to be a bit more difficult to understand.
This is why a lot of people just opted to focus on the traits of the animals embodied by the Chinese zodiac. This practice revolves around a person’s birth year.
The twelve animals present in the Chinese zodiac are the ox or cow, the mouse or rat, the dragon the tiger, the rabbit, the horse, the lamb or sheep, the monkey, the snake or the serpent, the rooster or chicken, the dog and the pig.
It is said that the person’s characteristics will depend on which Chinese zodiac animal was assigned to them in their birth. He will bear the advantages and the disadvantages of the Chinese zodiac animal. This is how a lay person or a novice feng shui practitioner would give his forecast.
Instead of just basing his findings on what Chinese zodiac animal the person’s birth year is in, a feng shui expert would delve into deeper issues as he will also ask the person’s birth month, birth date and birth hour.
In fact, one of the best known Chinese astrological readings in history revolves around the concept of the four pillars of destiny.
The idea about the four pillars of destiny originally came from the Chinese Tang Dynasty. Ever since the concept was founded there, it garnered a huge amount of popularity.
The concept of the four pillars of destiny is about using the person’s Chinese Zodiac as leverage for a more comprehensive reading. This was used by feng shui experts to determine a person’s luck in health, wealth, business and even love and marriage. The four pillars of destiny that were modified in the Song dynasty is the one being used in modern feng shui.
To make things simple, the four pillars of destiny basically makes use of the details about a person’s birth including the birth date, the birth hour and the birthplace. Experts say that this reading is more accurate that the method that is only based on the twelve animals of the Chinese zodiac.
The four pillars of destiny can unlock a lot of information about a person’s destiny. And when the person discovers that he is not that lucky, the feng shui master can give him advice on the things he can do to achieve more luck and opportunities.
However this method of this complexity cannot be easily performed by feng shui novices or lay persons. This means that method of the four pillars of destiny can only be utilized by a feng shui master or a person who holds deep knowledge of feng shui practice.
