BaZi (Astrology) - Jiu Gong Ming Li (Numerology)

Arts of destiny

Following Taoist astrology, an energetic imprint is embodied for us at the moment of our birth in the 4 pillars of destiny under the influence of our Master of the Day, which is our strongest aspect. Our Master of the day is one of the 5 elements (Fire, Earth, Metal, Water, Wood) either Yin or Yang.

These pillars enable us to know our strengths, our skills and our life potentials, but also our challenges, like a map of your life’s journey. The chart allows us to understand any potential or hidden opportunities, and equally important the obstructions and threats that we are exposed to. The use of temporality combined with knowledge of our intern flow allows us to make the most of our personal chart, take advantage of the opportunities that come our way and protect ourselves as best we can from hardship. Being aware of our potentials and difficulties gives us control over our destiny.

The quality of your life is determined by the quality of choices you make. Chinese astrology allows you to make better decision that are aligned with a good temporality. Interacting more easily with partner, family, work and social life, as well as finding the right strategy based on a certain temporality to achieve goals will make your life more harmonious and lighter. Knowing the personal maps of the persons around you (partner, children, parents, friends) will make you understand them better. Numerology (Jiu Gong Ming Li) will as well be used if needed to get a different point of view.

By understanding your own element, you gain insight into how other elements influence you—either by strengthening or controlling you. This knowledge allows you to work with nature’s dynamics to achieve balance. For example, if a chart has a strong presence of earth and fire, the person will find relief and balance through the element of water, which helps to cool and soften the dominant energies.

Example: a child is Wu (Yang Earth, Mountain, needs to recharge in immobility) and the parent is Ren (Yang Water, River, needs to recharge in movement). Until the parent understands that their child has a different imprint, they will make them “move”. Eventually the child will feel guilty when they need to rest and move away from using the power of stillness, the power of the Mountain, which might cause stress and chronic fatigue. On a relationship level, it might cause a tension that could easily be avoided if the parent understands and respect the child’s inner flow and consequently stop projecting their own flow on them.

What to expect from a reading ?

A destiny consultation offers profound insights into your true self and provides practical tools to help you achieve your goals and reach harmony.

Instructions

A consultation should always be based on a specific question (e.g., work, self-esteem, unexplained blockages, hidden gifts, romantic, social or family relationships, opportunities, energetic rebalance, etc.) in order to be truly effective.
In our experience, reading a chart without a clear focus often results in vague or scattered insights. The Arts of Tao responds best when approached with intention — without a guiding question, its depth and clarity can be lost.
However, it's absolutely possible to begin with one topic and then explore other aspects of the chart during the session.

Before a destiny consultation:

  • Send us your date of birth (year, month, day, hour) (at least 3 buisness days before the consultation)

  • Send us either a precise question or a domain that you wish to explore (professional, personal, relational, …) as well as a small description of the situation.
