It
is believed by activating your Peach Blossom Direction you can expect new and
exciting lovers to enter your life. So,
go get yourself a compass and place a beautiful bouquet of fresh flowers into a
vase and set this floral arrangement first in your Year Branch Peach Blossom
Direction. If, after three months,
you’re not getting dates, place the flowers in your Day Branch Peach Blossom
Direction.
Please
remember to change the water every day and immediately replace any wilted
flowers. If you don’t, the
relationship could go sour (Caution: If you are married or in a committed
relationship, do not activate your Peach Blossom Direction; this could cause
infidelity).
Timing
is also important for many of these love spells to work.
The best way to understand this is in the Four Pillars of Destiny. Four
Pillars was originally known as Tzu Ping Astrology. It was named after Tzu Ping
Hsu,who, during the 9th century, changed the face of Asian astrology
by introducing new and revolutionary ideas to the then existing astrology by
analyzing all influences of time in a person’s chart. These cycles of time include hours, days, months, years and ten-year
cycles. As with all Chinese
natural sciences, time, also, is influenced by the interaction of yang &
yin. And, this interaction is
represented by the combination of a Heavenly Stem and an Earthly Branch.
There
are 10 Heavenly stems and they are the yin & yang aspects of the Five
Elements. The 12 Earthly Branches
(the zodiac animals) are also the five elements and their yin & yang
qualities. But, the Branches have
two extra Earth elements thrown in to bring the total up to 12. This combination is organized in a cycle of 60.
Six cycles of 10 stems and five cycles of 12 branches equal one cycle of
60.
The
Four Pillars are set up in four vertical columns.
The first column (left to right) is the Hour Pillar, the second is the
Day Pillar, the third is the Month Pillar, and the fourth is the Year Pillar. In
each Pillar you will find the “Ten Gods” or the Heavenly Influences.
The “Ten Gods” reflect our destiny.
Their influence can show us how we will live our life or the major paths
we may follow.
The
“Ten Gods” are: “Friendly Parallel” & “Unfriendly Parallel”;
“Proper Resource” & “Unbecoming Resource”; “Output” &
“Drastic Output”; “Proper Power” & “Unbecoming Power”; “Proper
Wealth” & “Unbecoming Wealth”.
For
a woman, “Power” represents boyfriends and husbands.
For a man, “Wealth” represents wives and girlfriends.
Any time we start a relationship under their influence we can expect a
long & happy union. So, how do we know when we’re going to meet this
special someone? Answer:
When our “Wealth” or “Power” is either in the Branch or the Stem
of a particular year. If the
“Wealth/Power” is the Stem, then romance comes to you; you are the Pursued.
If the “Gods” are in the Branch, then you make it happen; you are the
Pursuer. However, if the
“Power/Wealth” is “Unbecoming” the relationship will be a long &
stormy voyage; but, if the “Power/Wealth” is “Proper” the union will be
more lasting & loving.
The
Chinese believe you should marry when you ‘re supposed to marry!!! To
give you an example, I’m going to take from Hollywood some highly publicized
friendships:
Russell
Crowe and Meg Ryan met, supposedly, in the early part of the year 2000.
The year 2000 is the year of the (Yang) Metal Dragon, with the Dragon
being an (Yang) Earth Element. Yang
Metal is the Stem and Yang Earth is the Branch.
Russell’s “Unbecoming
Wealth” is Yang Metal. Therefore,
the timing was right for him to get romantically involved with someone.
The relationship may last awhile, but it’ll be a bumpy ride.
Ms
Ryan’s “Proper Power” is Yin Water. As
you can see from above, the year of the Metal Dragon is not a good time for her
to start a romance. When she met
Dennis Quaid on a movie set in 1988 it was the Year of the Earth Dragon, with
the Dragon being a Yang Earth element. Since
Quaid’s “Proper Wealth” is Yang Earth, it was no wonder he fell in love
with his leading lady. But, I bet
he had to bend over backward to win Meg’s heart.
And, when these two married on Valentine’s Day in 1991, the odds of
success dwindled with the Metal (Yin Earth) Sheep as his “Unbecoming Wealth”
entered his chart.
When
Gywneth Paltrow met Brad Pitt during the production of the film Seven,
the year 1994 was a (yang) Wood (yang) Earth Dog cycle.
Ms Paltrow’s “Unbecoming Power” is Yang Earth and Brad’s
“Proper Wealth” is Yang Earth. The
Elements brought them together, but Gywneth got cold feet.
I wonder if they’re still carrying a torch for one another?
Brad
Pitt soon met Jennifer Aniston. They
first started dating in 1998, which was the year of the (yang) Earth Tiger, with
the Branch being (yang) wood. They
then married in the summer of 2000, which is a (yang) Metal (yang) Earth Dragon.
Brad’s “Proper Wealth” is Yang Earth and Jennifer’s “Proper
Power” is Yang Water. For Brad,
the timing was right to find his true love & then make her his wife.
But, Jenny may soon get restless and want to fly the coop.
Funny
man Jim Carey found his Renee Zellweger on the movie set of Me,
Myself & Irene in 1999. The
Year of the (Yin) Earth (Yin) Wood Rabbit didn’t match Renee’s “Proper
Power” of Yin Fire, while Jim’s “Unbecoming Wealth” of Yin Earth was
more irritating than fun. Soft-spoken
Renee may have thought she found her Prince Charming, but the ”Grinch” stole
away in the night. Now, it’s
Spiltsville in Who’s-Whoville for this couple.
What
happens when one-half of a couple is in their ‘right time’ but the other
half is not? Answer: There is
usually a struggle to maintain the relationship.
Have
you ever known a couple that were together for years & years and then the
minute they marry they spilt? In
the Four Pillars there is something called the “Marriage Palace”.
It can tell us what we can expect from married life.
If Elements are
unfavorable/favorable in the “Marriage Palace”, then
the marriage will be unfavorable/favorable.
If “Proper Wealth” or “Proper Power” is favorable/unfavorable to
the “Marriage Palace”, then the spouse will be favorable/unfavorable.
So!
Finding love, sweet love is a matter of the right Timing, a helluva a lot of
good Luck and a little bit of some good old fashion Magic!!!
And, of course, it wouldn’t hurt to check with your local astrologer.
