About the Topic
How well do you know yourself?
We often assume that reason directs effort, emotion, relationships, and choice. In the language of traditional fate-reading, however, these may be understood through an underlying configuration, like code not yet visible to us.
If the Supreme Ultimate gives rise to two modes, four images, and eight trigrams, why are there five phases? Where do the Eight Characters come from?
Why did Su Shi’s career decline repeatedly? Why was Yue Fei imprisoned and killed at the height of his fortunes? How did wealth bring Heshen both power and ruin?
Using Ziping Zhenquan alongside Qiongtong Baojian and Ditian Sui, this talk approaches traditional fate-reading from an ordinary modern person’s perspective:
What do favorable and unfavorable configurations mean, and why might similar efforts lead to different results?
Why do some people force a way through difficulty while others work with existing circumstances?
Can a birth chart be read as indicating aptitude, personality, or patterns of emotion?
If fate were code, how much could we change? If wealth and status belong to destiny, and hardship and success to fortune, is everything predetermined?
