Question
Hi, Bill,
I've always wondered if Chinese astrology has anything equivalent to the Western procedure of setting up a chart for the moment a question was asked....what is called a Horary chart. Is there a Chinese procedure for this?
Thanks in advance,
Zane


Answer
Zane,

As far as I know there is not, but I can not say for sure. It is just that I have never heard of a procedure.

p.s. The Chinese do use the Tong Shu calendar, a Chinese almanac. Joey Yapp has a calendar which I think is based on Flying Star astrology. These are used to determine the best day and time for planning important events. What I do for a shorthand method is to plug specific date info and a querent's birth data into our relationship calculator. This gives a favorability percentage based on the Chinese, Four Pillars.

Expertise

Chinese Astrology. I`ve done Chinese astrology for over 20 years, pimary experience Ming Shu style. I am NOT a psychic. I can't answer questions about when a particular event will occur, when/if your life will change, or what your spouse is going to be/look like. I do comment on relationships, career, personality analysis and life cycle chi, i.e., energy level and influences at each of the five stages of life. I evaluate specific relationships or can look at your love life in general. I can tell you your best career choices and whether the one you've chosen is good for you. And, I can identify the strong and weak times in your life. I've done work for Yahoo, astrology.com and onlinechineseastrology.com.

Experience

I've studied Chinese astrology for over 20 years now and done several thousand charts. My specialty is four pillars method, particularly as applied to evaluating relationships. I've also done Nine Star Ki and readings using Mah Jong tiles. My next step is to learn Purple Star astrology. It identifies many more chart details, but accurate readings are time consuming and dependent upon a lifetime of acquired experience.
