Foundations of Ba Zi is a class for those who want to explore Chinese astrology, divination, time, timing and decision making. By the end of the series you’ll have all the information you need to read the Chinese calendar, and draft and analyze a ba zi with its ten year luck cycles.
While the course will focus on Chinese astrology by way of drafting and reading the ba zi, at the same time it will provide all the building blocks you need to pursue any of the Five Arts of Chinese Metaphysics. It’s up to you to decide where and how far you want to take the knowledge. Looking for mastery? Start a lifetime study here.
