I know, I know, I know, i know.

 

I said I wasn't posting on Taoist Discussion again this year.

 

But this is too interesting not to have our resident astrologers talk about.

 

Chris just said Max's birthday was yesterday, Oct 26..and he turned 47.

 

I don't know squat about Astrology..but I think this makes him a SCORPIO and a DRAGON.

 

Any Taomeows care to ellaborate?

Dude that is so innapropriate thing for you to say about my realationship with Max.

 

I mean if he wanted to hang out and do Snake Bagua in the park I wouldn't say no but crush is not the appropriate language.

 

I think you should visit the Man Love thread I recently created and get all those feelings out of your system.

 

Ok..no more posts this year.

I think he turned 47. The website says,"...in 1966, at the age of six..."

whats his favorite color??

does he like long walks on the beach?

 

 

Oh..excuse me! Your not allowed to be interested in the backround of a dude that helped open you(somewhat) and taught you the best practice you ever learned in your life.

 

No..to be interested at all in a man's astrological energies automatically means something else..

 

Get thee to the Man Love thread Christoff!

The hour of birth info is crucial. Even the most basic Four Pillars reading has to take into account four, not three, Pillars of Destiny. Imagine Destiny as a building designed to rest on four pillars... then imagine removing one of the pillars... that's what the Four Pillars reading looks like without the Hour Pillar. It's not just "incomplete" -- it simply crumbles, it has no structural integrity and can't be interpreted correctly. So I can present raw facts but no reading:

 

Oct 26 1960 means

 

the year Pillar is Yang Metal Rat,

the month Pillar is Yang Fire Dog,

the day Pillar is Yin Fire Pig.

 

Each Pillar is comprised of a Heavenly Stem and an Earthly Branch. The stems in this incomplete reading are predominantly yang; phases of qi predominantly Fire-Metal. The overall Wuxing (Five Phases) picture can't be put together. What else... oh, one more thing I can tell: of the known animals, Rat, Pig and Dog neither form a harmonious relationship with each other nor oppose each other as enemies. They simply coexist in the subject's personality without helping or hindering each other. However, the fourth, unknown, animal might be horse, e.g., rat's enemy sign, or monkey or dragon, rat's friend/ally sign; or it might be snake, pig's enemy, or sheep or rabbit, pig's friend; and so on. Again, the complete picture can't be seen without the Hour Pillar.

Taomeow, where did you learn Chinese astrology? I was taught an introduction to Chinese polestar astrology by Liu Ming. Fascinating but I definitely had the sense that we BARELY scratched the surface. Unfortunately I'm not near Ming anymore and I'm not aware of any good books on the subject. Ming basically said there are no books in English where you can learn authentic Chinese astrology. Do you know of any decent resources?

 

Also, do you do full charts professionally?

 

Thanks,

Sean

Thanks for the link, Sean,

 

looks pretty cool. I know this stuff, although I'm no stranger to that "scratching the surface" feeling, it seems to be inevitable with all those taoist goodies... the more you know, the better you understand how little you know!

 

Below I will post a list of fairly reliable resources -- good luck exploring!

 

I occasionally do the Four Pillars professionally, but have never advertised and all my clients have been word-of-mouth referred. Please PM your info if interested. :)

 

Cat, I'll be happy to do yours too.

 

Now then...
