Some Observed Modern Ideas To Monetize Metaphysics After Taken For A Ride For Years

To purchasers of the Zi Wei Flying Stars application, I will be making some important UI changes to the Zi Wei application.   

No worries, all updates are free of charge and there are no plans for subscription fees and more on this.

But first, some clarifications.

I have been consistently told that the interfaces and features are suitable for use 

I was fed this lie for years.

Instead I get requests for phone application but what happens to the existing users?

Suppose that problem could be solved, reading 4x4 grid charts off a small phone screen is one of the strangest ideas floated, even if it is for convenience or emergency, you probably spend more time scrolling around the screen or reaching out for that pair of glass.

Well the phone idea is discarded despite some poor chap trying their hand at it and failing miserably.

Therefore I am puzzled when I read online claims that clunky Windows application is unsuitable for professional reading or teaching and the solution is ...

Welcome to the brand new world of software monetization aka subscription!  

The dots link up.

The problem with business folks is they cannot resist that innate business DNA to maximize profit off their customers.  

• Educate new cash cows with intuitive, accessible tools for $38 monthly or $365 annually.
• Monetise Zi Wei Dou Shu for today's digital world using "paid structured insights".

Software subscription is great for the developer in the monetary aspects and there are no plans for changes.

Therefore, I will spend a few hours each week to modify the clunky Si Hua Zi Wei application to introduce some user interface changes and highlight some of the constraints when designing the Si Hua application.

In the existing application, the Si Hua transformer lines appear when your mouse hovers around English stems.   The first change will make the 4 transformers appears when you click on the English stems.

For registered users, please contact zwdsflying@yahoo.com for the latest copy and I repeat, no software subscription 8)

New Software

I am at the final stage of completing software that combines planets, stars and certain elements from East Asia astrology systems.  

The life palaces can be fixed using 七政四余 style or using astrological ascendant!  Interested parties can reach out to me for pricing!

I may opt to add these features into my existing Qi Men and Zi Wei software packages, stay tuned or drop an email to zwdsflying@yahoo.com!

Some updates for the Flying Stars Si Hua Zi Wei Software in Dec 2022

I made some UI changes to the software regarding the annual Si Hua transformers.  Take note, the annual transformers are indicated near the English stars' text.  

Sharp readers will notice that the software dynamically resizes the stars' text to make room for more stars.

For the annual Si Hua transformer, I picked a larger font with a circle border, to improve readability as some palaces may have more stars when you turn on the Research feature of the software.

Since it is near the end of the 2022 year, it will not hurt a bit to realise that the 18 major stars have a color scheme to provide hints to their elemental mature, for example Tan Lang is vibrant green, representing Yang Wood.

There are some amendments for the San He stars, they are not mainstream in Si Hua and are included for research purposes.

Gentle reminder that the Fei Lian star is not taken from the Bo Shi series.

On top of that, 3 extra stars added, namely 

1. Tian Chu

2. Xian Chi

3. Tian Wu

There are 18 major stars and 32 minor stars and a few more will join in the fray soon.

They will be useful if you are reading some books and their authors' throw in a few minor stars.

Happy charting for SGD $230!

This is a complementary update but I will require you to email your dongle number to get this release.

Not all Bazi applications are created equally

I usually get this question, why is BaziApp worth $180 when there are many free leisure magazine Bazi software in the market?

Strange, I do not get this question for my Si Hua Zi Wei, Qi Men or Date Selection apps.

Tonight, I decided to use one of my user's question to answer this question.

In this standard chart, BaziApp's artificial intelligence concluded that the bloke is a weak Yi day master with the officer/seven killing star acting as useful deity 用神.  

Take note, not all weak day masters loathe the officer/killing star.  As this is not the main dish, we will not spend half an hour explaining the dynamics of this statement, please consult your Bazi teacher if you are still unclear.

In this case, You 酉 metal is the seven killings 七杀 star and Shen 申 is the direct officer 正官star.

The user is puzzled why BaziApp marked Ding You 丁酉  (2017) as challenging but Bing Shen 丙申 (2016) as favourable? 

BaziApp highlights challenging annual years as black, green as tricky and red as generally useful.  This useful feature is one of the reason why the app is not peddled as free software.

Bug??

This is not a bug, an average Bazi analyst should not make this classical mistake and conclude Ding You 丁酉 is a great year.

In fact, the day master lamented he lost his job in Ding You 丁酉  2017 year with a string of bad luck going forward.

If an machine is able to come to that conclusion using expert systems, it won't be good if a human Bazi analyst makes this elementary mistake.

Classical Bazi is not that simple, neither citing poetry, climate analysis nor having a vague understanding of simple rules/formulae will cut it.

Any Bazi analyst must determine how the annual and 10 year luck pillars interact with the natal chart using classical combinations precisely. 

Some UI updates for the Flying Stars Si Hua Zi Wei software

Dear users,

There is some UI improvements for the Flying Stars Si Hua Zi Wei software.

Kindly drop me an email so that I can send you the latest copy of the software.  

In this example, we notice that the 4 transformers' are located in palaces with repeating stems, hence I denote repeating palaces' with dotted lines.

The Hua Ke transformer is not shown as there are feedback that the screen will be unwieldy too many lines throughout the chart.  If there is enough support, I will reintroduce the that feature back in the app.

To clear the incoming Si Hua lines, you can simply click on Tian Xiang or Qi Sha star.

New experimental feature for Zi Wei application .......

The Build 2019 March has a new experimental feature added, namely Annual Si Hua for the supplementary Class of 2019.

In this example, annual Ji stem sends a Hua Ji transformer to the Wen Qu palace!

As this release is for students who attended the March 2019 Class complementary, it will be released at later date.

How to stop Windows Security from removing the apps !

Windows Security generally assumed my packed applications are malware.

This is the due to the security envelope that I inserted in my application to discourage tampering.

To stop Windows Security from removing my applications, please exempt them from scanning.

Please read this blog entry from a computer browser, for some strange reasons, it does not render well on a phone.

Download the app to white-listed folder

Download the apps onto a folder on your computer from Google Drive using Edge or Chrome (avoid Mozilla the crapware).  However it is recommended that you should white-list the folder that the files will downloaded to.  

The next few steps will show you how to white a folder in Windows.

In this example, the user has stored all the apps in a folder for easier backup.  BaziApp and Zi Wei data files are interchangeable, putting them in a same folder is a good choice.

To white list the folder, follow the next few steps for Windows Security.  Mcafee instructions are below this section.  If you are using an ancient version of Windows, you have to type Windows Defender and patiently scroll to look for the Exclusion options.

Click Yes when the User Account Control dialog pops up.

Mcafee LiveState
You are out of luck, you can't whitelist folders so you have to whitelist the program files individually.

Click on the tool button

Click real time scanning.

Click Add file button and white each program as required.

That Blue Dialog ...
When you try to execute the apps, Windows may complain about the files again as it was downloaded from the Internet.
