All 4 Introductory Seminars
Welcome to my beginner’s course on Chinese Astrology and Divination - an introduction to the Four Pillars of Destiny (Bazi) astrology system and divining with the Yijing. The focus is on a Daoist view and approach to the mantic arts. The course is broken down into 4 seminars based on the 4 Timeless Trigrams, covering the themes of Time (Heaven), Self (Earth), Synergy (Fire), and Spirits (Water).
Heaven Seminar
This seminar explores the theme of Time in Chinese Astrology and Divination. We focus on the Heavenly Stems (5 phases/elements). Subtopics include:
Lunisolar calendars and paradigms of time (symbolic time, mythic time, also time and capitalism)
Relationship between divination, chance, and time.
How to read the times: Yijing mandalas as clocks
The relationship between healing, imagination and time
Earth Seminar
This seminar investigates the concept of The Self in Chinese Astrology and Divination. We focus on the Earthly Branches (12 animals), beginning with their ancient pictograph meanings. Questions that are explored:
What is self 自 (zi) and what is character 字 (zi) ?
How is the Self imagined through the lens of ancestor worship?
What is karma, fate, and destiny in relationship to the Self?
How is karma created and fate resolved through the Self?
Fire Seminar
This seminar examines the concept of Synergy in Chinese Astrology. Subtopics covered:
The structure and dynamics within a Bazi 八字 Astrology Chart
Synergy between the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches (triangles, squares, punishments, creation and harm)
Understanding the synergy of inner images and outer reality
The art and science of reading a Bazi 八字 Chart
Water Seminar
In the final seminar of this series, we explore the concept of Spirits, Ghosts, and Gods in Chinese Astrology through the Tiger Eye Method. Subtopics include:
The Ghost River, the Stream of Life, and the Reverse Water Way
The stars as ancestors in the Bazi 八字 Chart
Activating the gods in our character
How to work with Emptiness, Void and Hauntings through the Tiger Eye Method
Each seminar is around 2 hours each and includes an audio/visual presentation, closed captioning, and supplemental documents.
