Make better decisions with a Bazi reading

According to Master Jason Chan of Won Yan Feng Shui Consultancy, having clarity about your birth chart can help in various areas of your life. He shares how a Bazi reading and analysis of Five Elements helps with better decision making. Plus, he has a deal for Expat Living readers.

What is a Bazi reading? How can it help with decision making?

A Bazi reading helps you gain clarity on your innate strengths, life cycles and the energies influencing your career, relationships and wealth. When decoded correctly, your bazi chart reveals who you are and also how to align with your true timing in life.

What are the Five Elements and what influence do they have on a person’s Bazi chart?

Each person is born under a unique configuration of the Five Elements (Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, Water).

The Five Elements in Bazi refers to the “energy mix” you were born with. Think of it like your internal weather system. Some people are born with too much heat, some with too much cold, some with storms inside, some with dryness. None of these is “good” or “bad”.

The elements push and pull each other, influencing how you think and react, and the type of opportunities you attract.

When your Five Elements are out of balance, life can feel like an uphill climb. It’s not that you’re unlucky — it’s simply that something inside you is pulling in the opposite direction.

When they’re balanced, you naturally feel calmer and more stable. You make decisions with confidence and attract people who support you. Areas of your life become clearer and easier to build because you’re no longer fighting against your own nature.

Once you know which element is excessive or needs support, you can make small adjustments in your habits, environment and timing. When the internal balance is restored, you feel more aligned and make better choices. Life starts moving in a direction that feels more natural and less like a struggle.

In summary, a Bazi reading is really about looking at your internal map to give you clarity about who you are, how you operate, and when to take action.

What happens during a Bazi analysis?

With just your birth date and time, we can decode a surprisingly detailed picture of your life path – your birth moment captures the energy pattern you were born into

Traditionally, practitioners had to flip through a thousand-year calendar to calculate all the energies by hand. Today, we use digital databases to generate a full Bazi chart.

There are several layers inside the chart. The first consists of the four pillars – hour, day, month and year – which represent different aspects of your personality and life. Each pillar contains specific elements and energies. Together, they describe your natural tendencies, strengths and blind spots.

Another layer includes the Five Elements that form your internal energy mix, and your Chinese zodiac sign.

Your chart also contains the names of different energies known as the Ten Gods. These describe roles you naturally take in life, such as how you handle stress, think, attract wealth and interact with people.

A very important part of the Bazi chart is your 10-year luck cycles. These cycles show the major phases of your life — when things get easier, when new opportunities open, and when you should be more careful. We also look at your annual and monthly luck, because timing plays a huge role. An action in the wrong timing feels difficult, but the same action in the right timing feels effortless.

How does a reading of my birth chart help make life smoother?

For career, your chart shows the kind of environment you naturally thrive in. You will understand your strengths and weaknesses so you can choose a career direction, industry, or even a company culture that matches your natural tendencies. When your job aligns with your internal energy, you perform at a higher level with less resistance.

For relationships, a Bazi reading helps you understand how you give and receive love, how you communicate, and what triggers your emotional responses. When you understand each other’s energy, you learn to reduce unnecessary conflict, support your partner, and how to build a more stable, long-term relationship.

A Bazi analysis of your birth chart can reveal your relationship with money – how you make decisions about spending, saving, investing or building a business. It also tells you when to push for growth and when to be more conservative. Prosperity is also about timing, mindset and strategy, all of which Bazi can map out.

Any “happy client” stories?

I’ve had many meaningful experiences with clients over the years, and a few stories always stay with me.

A lady was feeling completely defeated after losing her job. Her Bazi chart showed her that the timing she was in wasn’t a setback – it was a transition period pushing her toward a career path that suited her far better. With the right direction and timing, she found a new role within a few months. She still tells me, “Losing that job was the best thing that happened.”

A gentleman was struggling with a big decision about switching industries. Although feeling stuck, he was afraid of making a wrong move. An analysis of his Bazi chart showed that his strengths, personality and luck cycle all aligned with the new industry he was considering. With that clarity, he made the shift and the career he has now fits him in a way his previous role never did.

Another lady came to me after a painful breakup, unsure of how to move forward. Her chart revealed her approach to relationships and why certain emotional cycles kept repeating. With that understanding, she became clearer about what she needed from a partner. She told me, “I’m finally able to move on, and I feel lighter.”

What happens in a Bazi reading with you?

The session can take place either in person or over Zoom, depending on your location and schedule.

At the start, I’ll generate your Bazi chart on the spot with your birth chart details. We go through the chart together in a very interactive way. You’re free to ask questions, clarify doubts, or explore anything that stands out to you. It’s a two-way conversation.

We then go deeper into your real concerns by analysing your situation through your chart, applying the insights directly to your life.

Quite often, people tell me the session feels like a blend of traditional wisdom and modern coaching, because it helps them understand themselves and their decisions in a clearer, more grounded way.

Each session typically lasts around 45 to 60 minutes, depending on how many questions you have and how deep you’d like to go into certain areas of your chart.
