Introduction: "Of the three unfilial acts, the greatest is to have no descendants." Since ancient times, the inheritance of offspring has been an extremely important part of the Chinese family concept. Every family looks forward to the arrival of new life, and having both sons and daughters is the beautiful wish of many people. However, in reality, the path to seeking children is not smooth for everyone. Chinese traditional numerology - Bazi, as an ancient wisdom to analyze the code of life, can peek into a lot of information about the luck of children from the combination of the heavenly stems and earthly branches of personal birth year, month, day, and hour. This article will interpret in detail how to look at the number of children and the timing of fate from the perspective of Bazi numerology, and combine Feng Shui knowledge to provide you with some references to improve the luck of children.

1. What is the "Children Star" in Numerology?

In Bazi numerology, the core of judging the luck of children lies in finding the "Ten Gods" that represent children, namely the "Children Star". Because the Yin and Yang attributes of male and female lives are different, the star gods that represent children are also different.

1. The Children Star of Female Life

For women, the children star is represented by "the one who I produce", that is, the five elements produced by the Day Master (the heavenly stem representing the life master). Specifically, it is Eating God and Hurting Officer.

  • Eating God: has the same Yin and Yang attributes as the Day Master. For example, if the Day Master of Jia wood sees Bing fire, Bing fire is the Eating God. The Eating God represents daughters, whose temperament is gentle and introverted, symbolizing a deep relationship with daughters.
  • Hurting Officer: has different Yin and Yang attributes from the Day Master. For example, if the Day Master of Jia wood sees Ding fire, Ding fire is the Hurting Officer. The Hurting Officer represents sons, whose temperament is extroverted and intelligent, symbolizing a closer relationship with sons.

In short, the Eating God and Hurting Officer in the Bazi of a female life are her children stars. The prosperity, position, and relationship with other heavenly stems and earthly branches of the Eating God and Hurting Officer directly affect her fertility and the condition of her children.

2. The Children Star of Male Life

For men, the children star is represented by "the one who restrains me", that is, the five elements that restrain the Day Master. Specifically, it is Direct Officer and Seven Killings (also known as Partial Officer).

  • Direct Officer: has different Yin and Yang attributes from the Day Master. For example, if the Day Master of Jia wood sees Xin metal, Xin metal is the Direct Officer. The Direct Officer usually represents daughters, symbolizing that daughters are well-behaved and sensible, and can bring glory to the family.
  • Seven Killings: has the same Yin and Yang attributes as the Day Master. For example, if the Day Master of Jia wood sees Geng metal, Geng metal is the Seven Killings. The Seven Killings usually represents sons, symbolizing that sons have a strong and pioneering spirit.

Therefore, to analyze the children's luck of a male life, it is necessary to look at the situation of the Direct Officer and Seven Killings in his Bazi.

2. How to Determine the Number of Children from Bazi?

Determining the number of children is a complex process that requires a comprehensive analysis of the entire chart, and cannot be determined solely by the number of children stars. Ancient books say: "Those with many Eating Gods and Hurting Officers have many children, and those with prosperous Direct Officers and Seven Killings have many children," but this is just a basic principle. In modern society, due to the influence of family planning policies, the number of children predicted by Bazi more reflects a kind of "fertility potential".

"How many children are destined in life, daughters are sure to be more when the Direct Officer is seen in the Hour Pillar, and sons are sure to be stronger when the Seven Killings are seen in the Hour Pillar." —《Dripping Heavenly髓》

Here are a few key criteria for judgment:

  1. The prosperity and presence or absence of the Children Star: If the Children Star in the chart gains order (born in a month favorable to the five elements), gains ground (the earthly branch has roots), or has other heavenly stems and earthly branches to help, it is called "prosperous", which means strong fertility and a deep relationship with children. Conversely, if the Children Star is weak, restrained, or there is no Children Star in the chart at all, it may mean that the relationship with children is weak and the process of seeking children is more difficult.
  2. The state of the Children Palace: The "Hour Pillar" (that is, the heavenly stems and earthly branches of the time of birth) in Bazi is called the "Children Palace", which is the "home" of children. The state of the Children Palace is crucial. If the Children Palace is a favorable god (the five elements that are beneficial to the life master) and is not punished, rushed, restrained, or harmed, then the children are usually virtuous and filial and can bring blessings to the life master. If the Children Star happens to fall in the Children Palace, it is even more icing on the cake, representing an excellent relationship with children.
  3. Comprehensive global judgment: Numerologists also need to look at the overall balance of the five elements. For example, for female lives, if the Seal Star is too prosperous in the Bazi (the Seal Star restrains the Eating God and Hurting Officer), it may inhibit fertility; or if the Bazi is too cold or too dry, it may also affect physical functions and lead to difficulty in conceiving. These all need to be balanced by adjusting the Hou Yong God.

3. When Will the Children's Fate Arrive?

Knowing your child's potential, the next concern is naturally "when will the child come?". This requires analysis in conjunction with "Major Luck Cycles" and "Annual Luck".

  • Major Luck Cycles: changes every ten years, representing the overall trend of luck during these ten years. If the Major Luck Cycle that the life master enters is a prosperous place for the Children Star, or can help the Children Star, then these ten years are the golden period for fertility.
  • Annual Luck: represents the specific luck of each year. When the heavenly stem or earthly branch of a certain year triggers the Children Star or Children Palace in the chart, it is easy to have the happy events of pregnancy and childbirth. For example:
    • The heavenly stem of the year is the Children Star in the life.
    • The earthly branch of the year and the Children Star or Children Palace in the life have "combinations or meetings", such as the Three Combinations and Six Combinations.
    • The earthly branch of the year rushing the Children Palace sometimes also represents changes and the arrival of new members, but it is necessary to carefully distinguish between likes and dislikes.

For example, a female life has a Day Master of Jia wood, and the Eating God and Hurting Officer are fire. Her Children Palace is in the Hour Pillar. If the Major Luck Cycle she is walking is the Si fire or Wu fire luck, then the relationship with children is very strong during these ten years. Then, if you encounter Bing year or Ding year, or Si year or Wu year, and the year triggers the Children Star, then the chances of pregnancy in these years are very high.

4. Feng Shui Adjustment to Promote the Luck of Children

Bazi numerology reveals innate information, and the acquired environment and efforts can also affect luck. Feng Shui, as environmental energy science, provides some effective adjustment methods to promote the luck of children.

1. Bedroom Layout is Key

The bedroom is the main place for couples to rest and conceive life, and its Feng Shui is very important. The placement of the bed should follow the principle of "hiding wind and gathering qi", the head of the bed should be against a solid wall, and should not be against a window or directly facing the door or toilet door. Too many electrical appliances should not be placed in the bedroom to avoid interference from electromagnetic waves. At the same time, keep the bedroom clean, ventilated, and create a comfortable and peaceful environment.

2. Promote the "Descendant Position" in the Home

In home Feng Shui, each house has its "descendant position". This position is usually determined according to the orientation of the house or the owner's life Gua. Keeping the descendant position clean and bright, you can place some mascots with the meaning of many children and many blessings, such as pomegranates, Qilin giving children, peanuts, lotus pods, etc., using their beautiful images to promote the energy field.

3. Avoid Common Feng Shui Taboos

Some common Feng Shui problems may affect fertility, such as: missing corners in the house (especially the northeast corner or southwest corner, which represent descendants and the hostess respectively), horizontal beams pressing the bed, doors rushing the stove, etc. If there are these problems in the home, professional help should be sought as soon as possible to resolve them.

Conclusion: Bazi numerology provides us with a unique perspective to understand the fate and timing of life, but it is not fatalism. It is more like a "factory instruction manual" for life, guiding us to understand our own strengths and weaknesses. By analyzing Bazi, we can better grasp the favorable time for fertility, and improve our luck through acquired efforts such as Feng Shui adjustment and accumulating virtue and doing good deeds. Most importantly, it is to maintain an optimistic and positive attitude, and for husband and wife to be loving and harmonious, which is the best preparation for welcoming a new life.
