Introduction and Class Announcement
The video begins with a greeting and an apology for the speaker's recent absence due to a busy schedule. The main topic is introduced: how to interpret major life cycles (Đại Vận) and annual cycles (Lưu Niên) in Zi Wei Dou Shu astrology. Additionally, the speaker announces plans to open a Bắc Phái Zi Wei Dou Shu class at the end of the month and provides a Zalo number for interested individuals to register.
Basic Principles of Bắc Phái Interpretation
The speaker explains that the Bắc Phái method is less complex than other approaches. It involves analyzing the mệnh (life), tài (wealth), and quan (career) palaces of the Đại Vận, and optionally the nô (servant/friend) palace. Before analyzing the Đại Vận, it's crucial to understand the natal chart's structure, including the placement of the four Hóa stars (Tứ Hóa) from the birth year and the overall star distribution. The natal chart reflects the inherent nature of life events, while the Đại Vận stars indicate the individual's will and circumstances during that period.
Time Periods and Focus Areas
The video explains how to focus on different palaces depending on the age of the person. For individuals aged 1-20, focus on the mệnh palace for general fortune and the phụ mẫu (parents) palace for family life. For those aged 21-55, prioritize the mệnh palace along with the quan, tài, and di (travel) palaces, and consider the tật ách (illness) palace. For individuals 56 and older, emphasize the tật ách and phúc đức (blessings) palaces, along with the mệnh palace, paying close attention to the presence of negative stars in the tật ách palace.
Flying Star Interactions: Key Concepts
The speaker emphasizes the importance of understanding the origin of the flying stars (Phi Hóa) within the Đại Vận. Determine whether the mệnh palace of the Đại Vận is in the "ngã cung" (self palace) or "tha cung" (other palace). If the mệnh palace of the Đại Vận is in the ngã cung and the flying stars (kỵ and lộc) enter the tam hợp (trinity) of the natal chart, it indicates a favorable period. Conversely, if the mệnh palace is in the tha cung and the lộc star enters the tha cung while the kỵ star enters the ngã cung, it's not a good sign. If both lộc and kỵ enter the tha cung, the Đại Vận is generally unfavorable, regardless of whether it's in the ngã cung or tha cung.
Comparing Bắc Phái with Other Schools
The speaker contrasts the Bắc Phái approach with other schools, noting that Bắc Phái focuses on flying stars from the mệnh, tài, and quan palaces, especially the mệnh palace, to determine whether it resides in the ngã cung or tha cung. Examining the quan palace is also crucial. If the lộc, quyền, hoa, and kỵ stars from the quan palace shine upon the mệnh palace, it's a positive sign. Specifically, hóa lộc indicates a high level of expertise, hóa quyền suggests power and officialdom, hóa khoa signifies stability and harmonious relationships, and hóa kỵ implies accumulation and wealth. However, if kỵ clashes with the mệnh or quan palace, it can lead to complications and negative changes.
The Significance of the Nô (Friend/Servant) Palace
Despite its seemingly ordinary nature, the nô palace is crucial. Even if the mệnh and quan palaces are favorable, a clash between the nô palace of the Đại Vận and the nô palace of the natal chart can negate the positive effects, potentially leading to financial losses. Similarly, if the tài palace of the Đại Vận clashes with the tài palace of the natal chart, it indicates significant financial loss. If the nô palace clashes, it can affect not only finances but also the individual's safety and well-being.
Analyzing Interactions Between Palaces
After analyzing the mệnh, tài, and quan palaces, examine the kỵ star's influence on each palace. The speaker emphasizes the importance of understanding the combinations of the six stars (Lục Kỵ) and how they interact with the stars in each palace. If the di (travel) palace of the Đại Vận clashes with the mệnh palace of the Đại Vận or the điền trạch (property) palace of the Đại Vận, it's an ominous sign. The origin of the flying stars reveals the root cause of the issue. For example, if the tử tức (children) palace flies to the mệnh palace with a kỵ star, it suggests problems with business, relationships, or spending habits.
Analyzing All Palaces Within the Đại Vận
The speaker advises analyzing all twelve palaces within the Đại Vận, treating the Đại Vận's mệnh palace as the starting point and applying the same principles as with the natal chart. Examine whether the huynh đệ (siblings) palace of the Đại Vận clashes with the mệnh palace of the natal chart, or whether the di palace of the Đại Vận clashes with the mệnh palace of the Đại Vận or the di palace of the natal chart. Any palace that clashes with the mệnh palace of the natal chart is generally unfavorable, and the specific palace involved will suffer losses according to its meaning.
Specific Clashes and Their Implications
The speaker details the implications of specific palace clashes. When palaces of the same type clash (e.g., mệnh vs. mệnh, huynh đệ vs. huynh đệ, tài vs. tài), it indicates significant losses. A clash involving the tật ách palace suggests health problems. Additionally, if the kỵ star of the Đại Vận coincides with the kỵ star of the natal chart, it creates a "double kỵ" situation, leading to increased difficulties.
Special Considerations for Kỵ Star Interactions
The video highlights special considerations for kỵ star interactions, including hóa kỵ đối xung (kỵ stars clashing across from each other) and hóa kỵ tam hợp (kỵ stars forming a trinity). These configurations can create significant challenges during the Đại Vận. The speaker emphasizes the importance of identifying the location of the hóa kỵ star to accurately assess its impact.
Conclusion
The speaker concludes by noting that the method for interpreting Đại Vận and Lưu Niên is similar. Mastering the interpretation of Đại Vận will enable one to understand Lưu Niên as well. The speaker encourages viewers to study various resources and videos to gain experience and insights into the intricacies of Bắc Phái Zi Wei Dou Shu. He expresses hope that the video has provided valuable information and encourages viewers to leave comments and likes to support future content creation.
