Chinese astrology: understand how it works |

Chinese Astrology is a broad and profound study, which includes both the energetic constitution of the individual, which can be known through the information on his date, time and place of birth, as well as the study of the transformations of the energetic moments that the planet goes through and their respective movements influenced by the stars.

Within this system, an energy constitution map is made for the individual, a study with the analyzes and relationships between their energy constitution and the energetic formation acting on the planet at a specific moment.

This study enables a personal understanding of life events, of why things happen in a certain way and not in another. It also presents people with conditions to see what happens or what can happen in different ways, providing an immense knowledge of themselves and of the things that happen to them in their daily lives.

Chinese Oriental Astrology is a rich system that makes it possible to constantly improve one’s relationship with the cosmos. It contributes to the development of a more autonomous and self-conscious individual, who always walks more open paths, with more possibilities of choices in his life.

The methods used in Chinese Astrology

Chinese Oriental Astrology considers both the movements of the sun and the moon for its analyses. In this system, the main Astrological Schools present methods that take into account the relationship between Heaven and Earth, relating the 5 movements of Qi, also known as the 5 Elements (fire, earth, metal, water and wood) and their cycles of Yin and Yang energy.

Chinese astrological techniques relate to the Chinese calendar and its twelve-year cycle, the Chinese zodiac, popularized in Western culture through its horoscope. This is one of the oldest and most accurate lunisolar (sun and moon) calendars in the world.

How do temporal energy cycles work?

Eastern astrology makes its analyzes through temporal energy cycles. Its predictions can show and indicate the best times to carry out a desired event and also make it possible to know the best way to carry it out. For this, past periods are observed that had the same energetic characteristics through cycles that are repeated from time to time.

Among the most active systems of Chinese astrology are the bazi (known as the Four Pillars of Destiny) and the Zi Wei Dou Shu (Purple Star Astrology). When we use the techniques of these systems, we can better understand psycho-emotional tendencies, with a very efficient description of personality traits, as well as the personal bioenergetic structure. There is, therefore, the possibility of knowing if there is any organic weakness, with attention to the physical and emotional part.

These analyzes are done through the Energy Constitution Map which is personal, with some information about the individual such as year, month, day, time, place and sex of birth.

It is also possible to recognize blockages that prevent the development of human beings in an integral way, evaluating their potentials, health, relationships. It also allows seeing the latent creative possibilities that can be developed more easily.

More than just knowing and understanding external processes and influences, Chinese Oriental Astrology offers a better understanding of oneself and one’s way of relating to the world. It proposes the meaning of an immanent presence that echoes life in the most intrinsic details of the Being, in its time and in the planet where it inhabits.
