Ze Ri Xue
Study of Date Selection
Intro Series: Class 4
Do you like patterns?
Do you want to learn how to do some practical magic?
Do you want to know what’s behind the Serious Dailies?
Date Selection is done in order to take advantage of timing; to extend the luck of a day or moment in time. For example, Feng Shui practitioners use it when placing water, but this technique is quite useful for every day life. Who wouldn’t want to know when to do what? Make your efforts count. You want to know when you’re going against your luck, and know when it’s time to ride it. Usually, bad luck means it’s time for you to prepare for the good luck.
The text for this class is my Wood Snake 2025 Almanac which includes most of information you’ll need to practice Ze Ri. Class materials will include additional information that is not in the almanac.
Two Hours One on One Tuition: $298.00
