As I said in the last lesson , everybody's birthday infomation could be translated into 8 Chinese characters .

E.g

This is a famous star's fate :

(Female , yyyy/mm/dd/tt 1926/6/1/10:20am)

Y       M       D        T

丙      癸      辛      癸   sky 

寅     巳      酉      巳   earth

Here're something important you've got to know :

Here're 2 lines , 4 rows .

*The first line is called 'sky trunk' ; the second line is called 'earth branch' . (It's only translation , don't take serious of the meanings , I don't know how to explain that to you -___- )

*There are 4 rows , the year row shows message about your ancestors , the month row shows about your parents , day row is about you and spouse , time row is about your children.

*The word 辛 in red means self .

These words are something like Chinese maths . They are actually some numbers , but they are not like 一,二,三 .. what really mean one two three in Chinese . Only people who know Chinese astrology know what they stand for .

Here are ten words for sky trunk , each one has its own element :

10 words about sky trunk

甲 ( male wood )

乙 (female wood)

丙 (male fire)

丁  (female fire)

戊  (male soil)

己  (female soil)

庚  (male gold)

辛  (female gold)

壬  (male water)

癸  (female water)

12 words about earth branch ( these 12 words actually meant a time in ancient China . For example : 子hour is around 11pm~1am , and there are two hours for each one , so there are 12 in a day . They all have their own element sign too )

子(11pm~1am , it's a begining hour of a day , male water)

丑(1~3am , female soil)

寅(3~5am , male wood)

卯(5~7am , female wood)

辰(7~9am , male soil)

巳(9~11am , female fire)

午(11am~1pm , male fire)

未(1~3pm , female soil)

申(3~5pm , male gold)

酉(5~7pm , female gold)

戌(7~9pm , male soil)

亥(9~11pm , femail water)

It's very very very difficult to translate your birthday information , you have to prepare a particular calendar book (about all days in all ages , cuase everyday is totally different ) And a lot math is required , you have to figure out very complex numbers to get the 8 words for yourself . Hehehehe ... but as the technology goes so fast nowaday , we have computer working it out . We can have the software listed the 8 words .

There are 60 rows . 60 will meet a circulation . For example , if this year is a year of 甲子, 60 years later , it will be a 甲子 year again . If today is 甲子 day , 60 days after , it will be another 甲子 day .

Btw 2006 is the year of 丙(male fire)戌(male soil , but it's hot soil , this soil also bears FIRE element ), so it must be a year a lot 'fire' , like war fire (perhaps terrorist's attack ) . The technology in this year (like computers , PDAs, digital stuff ) will go faster and faster .. and faster . It's a year people will have lots and lots of mistakes , all brains are mad , excited , going crazy , all are caused by a lot of FIRE.

We'll say the best fate has balanced elements . There aren't something too much , or there aren't something too less . All are well balanced , this could be a best life . If the 8 words of you all mean wood , wow.. when you meet a year of gold , you will be killed.
