Question
Dear Bill,

Is there a way to easily calculate the Chinese Day of Birth sign and element?  Is there a website that you know of that calculates this?

Thanks,
Mark


Answer
Hi Mark,

You can go to:

http://www.astro-fengshui.com/4P%20Charting.html

There is no easy way to calculate it unless you have tables readily available. You can order Derek Walters' The Art and Practice of Chinese Astrology used at a reasonable price at www.amazon.com. Any one of the 12 books in Kwok, Man-Ho's series, Authentic Chinese Horoscopes - The Year of the Rat, etc., has tables. One or more of the books is usually available, normally from England, for about $15 used.

We have a calculator at www.firepig.com, which we use, but we have not put it online. You're welcome to submit a request to money@firepig.com. It is easier to use than the one at the site I gave you. Please, however, do visit my website. You will find a lot of other, useful information there.

Thank u for your question.

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.
