FOREWORDTianSuanThe Cosmic AgendaMaster Zhongxian WuD id you ever wonder why it seems that some people are born with luck while others are merely lucky to be born? Most people prefer to believe that they alone make choices that shape their future. Yet, in large part, our destiny is designed for us, oftentimes without our conscious awareness. In general, our life patterns reflect the patterns of our deeper destiny. According to the Daoist tradition, this is because the experiential reality of a persons life is ruled by his or her own Ming (karma).In Chinese, we have a very well-known saying:RenSuanBuRuTianSuanA persons reckoning will never compare with heavenly reckoningIn other words, no matter how carefully you prepare for any event, the influence of the universe is immensely more powerful. However, this does not mean you will never be able to affect your life events through the power of your own choice. The way to access TianSuan is, in fact, to have highly refined qualities such as clarity, judgment, and skill, or, in other words, to have well-informed RenSuan .In Chinese wisdom traditions, there are many arts of RenSuan that help people improve their daily lives. These arts fall under the category of ShuShu , the art of number/calculation/mathematics, and include: Chinese medicine, Fengshui, astrology, cosmology, Yijing prediction system, and others. In the higher levels of these arts, specific calculations are applied to bring understanding of the TianSuan behind any condition or phenomenon. SuanBaZi is the art of connecting with the TianSuan of your destiny, and it is one of the best ways to optimize both your daily and overall experience of life.SuanBaZi translates literally as calculating eight woods/characters. This art form is also known as SuanMing , which means calculating destiny. In the western world, SuanBaZi is most commonly known as Chinese astrology. Over the years, I have come to understand that most people believe that Chinese astrology refers to identifying the characteristics of a yearly animal sign. Unfortunately, this gross misconception is actually intentional, born from an effort to offer an over-simplified view of Chinese astrology to the masses. For the most part these days, people seem to use the Chinese animal signs as entertainment while waiting for dinner at a Chinese restaurant.Do not be mistaken. The information gleaned from a single-use table placemat represents a minuscule percentage of what actually influences the Chinese astrology chart. Your basic BaZi (Chinese astrology chart) is made with eight Chinese characters that relate to the year, month, day, and hour of birth and includes many, many indicators that can be used to help each individual gain a broader understanding of their life patterns, including precise details about health, finances, and romance.To make a decent Chinese astrology chart, you must be able to utilize at least a few GanZhi BaZi calculations. Literally, GanZhi BaZi means Stem Branch eight characters because the fundamental aspects of each persons destiny are mapped out using a unique combination of eight special Chinese characters. Some practitioners refer to GanZhi BaZi as Stem Branch Chinese Astrology. Decoding the GanZhi BaZi provides a fast track to changing a persons karma. It is also one of the most esoteric and challenging Daoist concepts to learn well. Traditionally, it is quite difficult to find a teacher who can clearly and effectively pass this hidden knowledge on to dedicated students.I have been teaching and providing consultations on GanZhi BaZi since the 1980s. I have observed that in the beginning most students find it very challenging to maintain a clear grasp on the basics of the BaZi. I have also noticed that, after some time passes, many students, especially those who fall out of the rhythm of a regular BaZi practice, find that they no longer understand their own notes! Over the years, I have met requests to write a BaZi book, even a beginner-level BaZi book, with resistance. As I personally prefer to teach the BaZi in real time, I have always answered that I would not have the patience to write such a book. As Confucius states in the Ten Wings of Yijing :ShuBuJinYanThe written word can never fully express the spoken word
