Ba Zi Course : Reading a Chart with Precision
Ba Zi (The “Eight Characters”) examines the interaction between the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches at the moment of birth. I teach a practical approach: understanding the Day Master, identifying strengths and weaknesses, and connecting this information to the pillars of luck that shape life. This is not about “predicting the future”; it’s about highlighting trends so you can make conscious, informed decisions.
Price: 1,500€ for in-person/online live training, 1,200€ for e-learning.
What You Will Be Able to Do After 6 Days
Using the solar-lunar calendar and the sixty-year cycle, you will learn to construct and interpret a complete Ba Zi chart, from the pivot to the structures. You will also learn to support your conclusions with clear rules drawn from the Classics and avoid common misinterpretations.
- Construct a chart: hour, month, year, luck pillars, hidden stems, interactions.
- Interpret a chart: strength of the Day Master, relationships among the Five Elements, combinations/clashes, traditional stars, and health–relationships–career axes.
A Step-by-Step Method, Focused on Real Cases
Each concept is demonstrated using authentic (anonymized) charts. You will receive a reusable analysis framework: identify the pivot, assess balance, and verify with a second reading (deities, season, standard/special structures).
- Live online (FOAD): the course is conducted on Zoom (green screen) with PDF materials sent in advance.
- In-person: we work on the board and worksheets.
- E-learning: the training is also available in a fully adapted online format.
Who Is This For?
This course is suitable for motivated beginners as well as Feng Shui practitioners who want to connect the person with their environment. No prerequisites are required: we start with the basics and progressively move toward complete chart interpretations, with corrected exercises and intermediate assessments.
