Understand. I overlook on that. Just too eager to ask... I will seek your professional advice.

Hi Cecil,
Thank you for your prompt and professional advice.
I was in fact very grateful that you had put in sincere efforts to answer my enquirieswhich was not common in other websites.
I have three dates the gynae gave to me for the delivery of my son. I will need your help in identifying which is the better one. The dates given are 1/5/11 (0900-1300), 2/5/11 (0900-1100 or 1500-1700 hrs).
In addition, is it true that a self earth or metal element born in Spring season is generally weak regardless of the chart. (This was quoted in one of the books I read).

Awaiting a favourable reply from you.
Regards
Desmond

Here, you are
correct.3. However,
YangBaZi or ba zi for
the
living; there are TWO more
pillars:-3.1.
House of Life and3.2.
House of
Conception.Again, these two
variables
each have their Heavenly
stems and
earthly branches.4. Long
time ago;
thereare even more
such "pillars"
for the dead.5. Thus
saying that
bazi is 4 Pillars
is too smplistic
approach. For Yang
Feng Shui; it can
even be
called"SIX pillars!"
etc...5.1. In general House of Life;
can
"tell" whether one has an "easy"
or"hard life".5.2. While House
of
Conception can be used to look at
a
husband and/or wife on the matter
of
conceiving a child...6. In
general
ifone charts a
SUPER-FULL Ba zi
chart it can even
be called "EIGHT
PILLARS". Where I
had already mentioned
the common
six. And the other two more
pillars
is associated with the dead or
