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  metal is the seven killings 七杀 star and Shen  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.
