Zi Wei Dou Shu Chart*
For the Advanced Student
The Zi Wei Dou Shu chart is ancient. It can be difficult to calculate and even more difficult to interpret. It shows each decade of one's life in amazing detail, as various stars move in and out of the life houses or "palaces." Each soul is born with a certain "Ming" - a class, a certain level in society, and a certain "Yun" - the ups and downs of life. Together "Ming Yun" makes up the individual Fate or Destiny. "Ming" is the life overview, the frame work - the fundamental layout of yourself, your family, your career, your wealth, etc., and does not change. Yun, however, fluctuates from childhood through old age and is a current "Time View" showing the smaller cycles contained within the "big picture" (Ming). It divides your luck and life into 10 year periods, then further subdivides into even smaller cycles of the yearly moving "Transits" of current year, month, day and even hour.. In other words, The Zi Wei Dou Shu chart reveals the large cycle and FIXED Ming of the life, which contains the smaller decade cycles, which themselves contain the still smaller fluctuating cycles. One of the 12 zodiac animal symbols (Earthly Branches) is also assigned to each of the 12 Life-Palaces and "flavor" both the decade and specific area of life. From these 12 Palaces, together with major and minor star energies, it is possible to examine the fate (Ming Yun) and Destiny (Tian Ming) of one's life.
Each Zi Wei Dou Shu chart is painstakingly drawn-up and interpreted by Shelly Wu, consists of over 34 pages, and takes many hours to fastidiously analyze. Each personal reading moves palace by palace through the individual life and also includes the "Endless Tour" and annual "Mobil Transits."
