tion relationship.
Example:
John wants to broach the subject of a prenuptial agreement with his girlfriend, Liz. John’s
birth date is 23 May 1977 while Liz was born on 26 June 1978. How should he go about
choosing the best date to talk to Liz so that there is minimum damage to his relationship?
Step 1: First he looks at the Tong Shu Calendar. A copy of the calendar for the month of
February 2014 is shown in the Diagram 1.
Step 2: He crosses out all the Month Breaker, Year Breaker and Personal Breaker days.
The year 2014 is a 午 Horse year so 子 Rat days should be crossed out because this is a
Year Breaker day. The Qi brings negative effects causing disputes, arguments and even
loss of wealth. Generally, February falls into the 寅 Tiger month so the 申 Monkey day
should be crossed out as it is a Month Breaker day. John is born in the year of the 巳
Snake and Liz is born in the year of the 午 Horse so the 亥 Pig and 子 Rat days cannot be
used either as these are their Personal Breaker days.
Step 3: Then he identifies the Success Days. For February 2014, the Success day falls on
a Dog day while the Stable day falls on a Horse day.
Liz’s Day Pillar is 己 Ji Wei Earth Goat. The Day Stem combines with 甲 Jia Yang Wood
and Day Branch combines with 午 Horse. No 甲 Jia Yang Wood falls into Success Day
and Stable Day so the 午 Horse date is selected in this case. 午 Horse in the month of
February is the Stable Day.

n the Chinese culture and most of Asian culture, your mar-
riage is just not a partnership with your spouse, you’re also
entering a life partnership with the in-laws. It can be a com-
plicated relationship and problems can range from:
1. Conflicts arising from stayingwith the in-laws
2. The in-laws being overly critical of you
3. Not feeling accepted by the in-laws
4. The in-laws having an opinion on everything from
where you live to how you parent your kids
Step 1
First, find out which element represents your in-laws
in your Bazi chart. Below is the table that tells you
which elements represent your in-law based on your
Day Master and gender.
Step 2
Look for conflict relation- ships such as clash, harm, punish-
ment or destruction with your in-laws’ elements (you’ll
be learning more about these relationships in our Bazi
101 columns over the coming issues). Are there con-
flict relation- ships? If yes, who does the conflict stem
f r o m ? Since it is your Bazi chart that is showing
the prob- lem, it is most likely your habits, behaviour,
communication or expectations that are causing
the conflict. If you have these conflicting relationships in
your natal chart with your in-laws, it is best that you
don’t stay in the same house to minimize any con-
flicts.
Example
Jenny is born on 1st December 1977 at
09:30. Below is her Bazi chart. She is a
壬 Ren Yang Water Day Master. There-
fore the element that represents her
father-in-law is 癸 Gui Yin Water,
and her mother-in-law element is
represented by 丙 Bing Yang Fire.
The 癸 Gui Yin Water element
appears in her natal chart in
the Spouse Palace. Hence, we
can deduce that she will like-
ly be living with her
in-laws.
Jenny as a 壬 Ren Yang Water Day Master is a dynamic and extroverted individual. Her
outgoing personality, broad friendships and work may not sit well with her mother-in-law
as there is a Hai Pig and Si Snake clash in her natal chart affecting her mother-in-law’s, 丙
Bing Yang Fire element. We know that this 丙 Bing Yang Fire element brings warmth to
Jenny’s very cold natal chart, hence, her mother-in-law’s opinions and advice are meant
well, no matter how they sound.
In this case, taking care of “Man Luck” which means being mindful of our actions and how
it affects others can be very helpful in dealing with the in-laws. She can also activate the
Feng Shui of her home to maintain a harmonious relationship with her in-laws.

Lesson from A Long Lasting Celebrity Couple: Always remind yourself how
lucky you are to have your spouse
Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson recently celebrated their 25th wedding anniversary and

Extra late last year. “No secrets, it’s about winning the lottery. She could’ve done better,
but man oh man, I’m no dope. I’m sticking with her.” In fact, the only problem in their
marriage is a pretty good one, according to Hanks. “The only thing we ever argue about
is who loves each other more,” he said during an appearance on The Ellen DeGeneres

ne of the reasons for getting married is to start a family that you can call your own
and having cute little mini-mes running around. These days people are happy to
have a bundle of joy irregardless of gender, compared to the old days when it was
important for the Chinese family to have a son to carry on the family name. In the old days,
there aren’t any fertility specialists to identify sex of the embryo, so the Chinese used a
calendar system known as the ‘Chinese Pregnancy Calendar’ based on the Chinese Lunar
Calendar to predict the gender of the baby even before the baby is conceived. This system
is believed to be first found in a royal tomb in Beijing. Even though science enables you to
identify and choose the gender of your child, it is still illegal to do so in many countries. So
you may want to test out this system if you have too many boys and want a baby girl.
Trouble Conceiving
While your Output Star may appear on the Heavenly Stem on the Year’s Annual Pil-
lar, you want to be careful if there is a clash, harm, punishment, combination or
destruction between Earthly Branches of the Day and Hour Pillar in your natal chart
and the Year Annual Pillar. It can mean stress trying to conceive or a possible miscar-
riage.
Although it is a very old system and many Chinese believe that it is highly accurate, there
is no scientific evidence to prove its accuracy yet. However, you can further ensure the sex
of the baby by matching the above calendar to the mother’s Bazi chart. Usually a woman
will have higher chances to conceive in years where her Output Star appears on the Heav-
enly Stem of the Annual Pillar. Output Star can be categorized into 食神 Eating God and
傷官 Hurting Officer due to Yin and Yang polarity. Usually Eating God represents a baby
girl while Hurting Officer represents a baby boy. So, say the 32 year old woman is born in
1983 . This year the Annual Pillar is 甲午 Jia Wu, a Wood Horse year. 甲 Jia Yang Wood
represents her 傷官 Hurting Officer, increasing her chances of conceiving a baby boy. Since
she wants a son, she should try to conceive in the lunar month as shown in the Chinese
Pregnancy calendar.
You can find which elements represent the Eating God and Hurting Officer Star (and there-
fore a baby girl or boy) for each Day Master in Table 2 below. This is for women only.

Another point to look into is investment holding period. Are you buying for a flip, a short-
term investment of about 2 to 3 years or something long-term? All these matter when it
comes to using Feng Shui to help you with property investment. Your holding period should
align with the Feng Shui effects.
So, let's talk about my visit to the up and coming development of Bangsar South City (BSC).
BSC is located within Kampung Kerinchi and near Pantai Dalam. To avoid the morning
traffic, I started my journey at about 9:45 a.m. It was a smooth 30 minute drive. The sun
was already up when I stepped foot out of the car, and it was hot as I walked around to
observe the surrounding area. However, all these were only a small inconvenience as I'm
doing what I what love, writing and telling stories about people and places from a Chinese
Metaphysics point of view.
As you may have already guessed, BSC is an area for long-term investment. As it is a
commercial area, it makes the study of the macro Feng Shui of BSC much easier. The most
important thing to look out for in commercial areas is the water mouth, as water represents
opportunity. To have influx of business you need a timely water entrance or exit point.
Since there are no immediate natural water bodies such as lakes or rivers, I used the road
that enters and exits Jalan Kerinchi as the reference point in this study.
Of course mountains are just as important as water mouths. BSC is surrounded by mountains,
which can be seen stretching out behind Jalan Kerinchi. However the mountains are far
away and blocked by some residential buildings. From where I was standing, the Qi of
the mountains will most likely benefit those on the ground to lower levels of The Park
I drove into Jalan Kerinchi from Bangsar which is from the North point while the New
Pantai Expressway (NPE) opens up the South entrance and exit to BSC. This indicates
that the value of BSC will gain momentum and become prosperous going toward period 9.
Prices of properties, like Qi, will slowly rise and fall with time. The Period 9 starts in the
year 2024, a Wood Dragon year and ends in 2o43. However, the Ascending and Descending
Qi calculation tells me that the Qi for period 9 is already making its presence felt in this
Wood Horse year. Hence, you will see the property development with South water mouth
or highway or road entrance and exit points slowly but surely gaining value.
BSC's landform is good value for those who are in the middle to lower income bracket. If
you are in this segment of the market and going for long-term investment, this would be
a nice place. For those who are planning to start businesses catering to the workers and
residential markets at BSC i.e. retail shops, cafés and restaurants, business will only gain
good momentum in the 2024.
In these articles I've been trying to keep things simple to help the reader gain a better un-
derstanding of the macro Feng Shui. However, there is a lot more to the landform Feng
Shui, as you study it further. For example, there are many different forms of mountains.
Each form and its location give rise to different influences that you can tap into. That's
why I’m looking forward to going on a 8-day Feng Shui expedition with my teacher Joey
Yap in September. I’ll be writing about all the places we see in our special November 2014
edition. To see examples of the beautiful landforms that can be found across China and
to learn more about the macro effects of Feng Shui, don’t miss out on this Special Issue.
Pre-orders start 1 June 1014.

n the last issue of Bazi 101, we introduced Luck Pillars and how they interact with
Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches to form relationships. Now Heavenly Stems and
Earthly Branches not only interact with Luck Pillars, they also interact with each other
to form relationships.
In this issue’s Bazi 101, we want to explore Combination Relationships that form between
Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches and Luck Pillars and each other, and what it means.
Combination-Relationships
All Combination-Relationships indicate that something – events, people, contracts,
agreements, wealth, time, emotion, thinking, ideas, inheritance, gifts etc is coming your
way.
There are two types of Earthly Branch Combination relationships, the 六地支合 Six
Harmony Combinations and Three Earthly Branches Combinations.

ach area in your face represents a different aspect of your life. These areas are called
the 12 Palaces in face reading. The 12 Palaces face reading method is simple and easy
to apply. The 12 Palaces are:
Learn to recognize these areas in your face as slight changes such as pimples, changes in
skin tone, as well as small red or green veins can indicate positive or negative events that
are likely to take place within a week.
Also take note of the 12 Palaces corresponding to the age limits of your face as any mole,
freckle, mark, scar or discolouration will indicate certain events taking place at a specific
age related to the above aspect of your life.
It is easy to apply and understand the 12 Palaces for daily use. For example, a pimple on
your Wealth Palace tells you that you are going to lose some money within a few days.
Sometimes small loses can be indicated just by an itchiness on your Wealth Palace. If the
Wealth Palace is shiny and has a slight yellow tinted glow, you can expect some money
coming your way.
I
n the old days, Fa Qi Men was mostly practiced by Taoist Priest. They are called 道士
Daoshi. The Chinese would seek the Daoshi for spiritual guidance when they have prob-
lems, when they are in trouble or when they wanted something. The Daoshi will then
set up an altar at a certain time, facing a certain direction and offer prayers to the Deities
and request for assistance. While reciting the scripture and praying the Daoshi will at the
same instance send metta (loving kindness) to the person who sought help.
What the Daoshi were actually doing was tapping into Universal Qi and asking the Uni-
verse to manifest and fulfill a wish using the Fa Qi Men method. It is like the Law of At-
traction but with the added advantage of knowing who, when and where to maximize the
Universal Energy in our favour. If you have a clear mind and have been constantly training
your mind to tune into positivity you can send metta to others too.
But lets not get a head of ourselves. First lets explore more activities that you can do to
help you tune into an alpha state of mind so that you can easily attract whatever you want
into your life.

une 2014 favours matters relating to self-development, learning, academic pursuits
and education. Furthermore, lessons taken on this month can easily be put to good
use. The Qi is positive for those who work in research, analysis and publication.
Writers and authors should take advantage of this period to research and write. The Qi also
works well for those who are making plans for their business and marketing strategies.
If the month’s Qi is unfavourable to you, you will find yourself more careless about your
routine work, so recheck your work regularly, especially on work related to documentation.
You will find yourself bogged down by minor documentation problems as a result of your
forgetfulness.
It is best to avoid being overly friendly, to prevent unwanted and aggressive Peach Blossom
attention. Spend more quality time with your spouse or romantic partner. Constant
arguments and an estranged relationship make it easy for a third party to jeopardise your
This month’s energy favours those who have the following zodiac: Tiger, Dog, Pig and Goat.
Wood Day Masters (甲 Jia Yang Wood and 乙 Yi Yin Wood) born in the spring season should
be more productive this month. Contributions made now will gain recognition towards the
year end. Those born in the summer months should take some time-off to rest and relax.
Those born in the autumn and winter months should help others resolve their problems,
and in return, it will boost your reputation.
Fire Day Masters (丙 Bing Yang Fire and 丁 Ding Yin Fire), should spend some time building
good networks and learning something new.
Earth Day Masters (戊 Wu Yang Earth and 己 Ji Yin Earth), you will find yourself happily
indulging in good food and enjoying the company of good friends. It is a good time to put
your plan to the test!
Metal Day Masters (庚 Geng Yang Metal and 辛 Xin Yin Metal), while it is a stressful month,
help is at hand. Find some time to rest and recharge.
Water Day Masters (壬 Ren Yang Water and 癸 Gui Yin Water) especially those born in the
autumn and winter season will see an increased inflow of income and wealth opportunities.
Those who are born in spring and summer should look for ways to collaborate with others
to tap into these wealth opportunities.
Tiger
After going through a stressful period with a heavy
workload, the tide turns for the better. You will find
yourself more confident and happier as a result of
overcoming the seemingly tough obstacles of the
previous months. Wealth opportunities are present if
you join forces with others.
Rabbit
You will be feeling the negative side of the Peach Blossom
star. You will find petty attention being focused on you
due to jealousy. Remain calm amidst all the gossip. With
a little foresight on your part you can take advantage of
this petty gossip and rumour to gain further ground.
Dragon
Make full use of your thinking cap. This month you can
experience many creative ideas and can even turn it into
a reality if you pursue it persistently. Do not over indulge
in delicious food that compromises your health.
Horse
A power struggle may ensue as people around you are
feeling sensitive and emotional. Due to their insecurities,
they are aggressively protecting their own interests. Lie
low this month. Mind your own business.
Goat
You may be pulled into a dispute and argument as a
negotiator as people trust you to resolve their differences.
Thread carefully so as not to aggravate the matter and
land yourself in hot soup.
Monkey
Your good luck continues. Expect some good news,
personal and work-related, coming your way. Some
motivational course taken to mould your discipline will
greatly enhance your future.
Rooster
Your Peach Blossom Star is shining on you positively.
You will happily find yourself being the focus of
attention of many prospects. It is up to you to make the
connection. People who work in customer service, sales
and marketing will find their career going smoothly this
month.
Dog
Your good luck continues. Keep up with your good
work and you may be in for a promotion with a good
performance review. You suggestions and ideas are
easily accepted by your superior. If you have good ideas
do share it out.
Rat
Those born in the year of the Rat are going to experience
a choppy and uncertain month. It is best to just take a
holiday on crucial dates like 4th, 5th, 10th and 22nd this
month to avoid and mitigate disruptive events.
Ox
You may experience a lack of energy. You tire easily. Take
some time off to rejuvenate. Do not trust people who
offer you investments with extraordinary gift or profit. It
may turn into a fraud later. For romantic relationships,
beware of internet love scams and overly passionate
lovers who promise you the world. Be more realistic this
month.

here are many genuine helpful people out there to offer assistance. Overall, it is an
auspicious month. However, there are many disruptive changes that may take a turn
for the better given time although people may feel oppressed and unhappy in the
meantime. Do not look upon events or issues short-sightedly, as you may miss out on the
long-term benefit.
If the month’s Qi is unfavourable to you, you find yourself easily irritated and prone to be
argumentative. Be more flexible this month to any changes and events that come your way.
For people who have a plan or project, this is a good month for you to start executing your
plans. You will easily be able to pull in resources to get your project running with the help
This month’s energy favours those who have the following zodiacs: Rabbit, Pig and Horse.
Wood Day Masters (甲 Jia Yang Wood and 乙 Yi Yin Wood) especially those born in the
spring and winter season will see an increased inflow of income and wealth opportunities.
Fire Day Masters (丙 Bing Yang Fire and 丁 Ding Yin Fire), should spend some time with
your team to brainstorm ideas for creative products.
Earth Day Masters (戊 Wu Yang Earth and 己 Ji Yin Earth), focus on branding and marketing
yourselves. Put yourself out there!
Metal Day Masters (庚 Geng Yang Metal and 辛 Xin Yin Metal), should spend some time to
build a good network especially if you are looking for some key resources.
Water Day Masters (壬 Ren Yang Water and 癸 Gui Yin Water) should take a good look
again at documentations or agreements drawn this month. It is also a good month to enjoy
some fun hobbies.
Tiger
Whether at work or on personal matters, there are noble
people to lend you a hand. Health issues like gastric,
stomach ache and migraines may become a persistent
problem due to constant high stress this year. Take care
of yourself to prevent this minor illness from developing
further into something more serious.
Rabbit
Overall it is a smooth sailing month for Rabbits. There
are many happy events and good news awaiting you.
While you are in a happy mood, do take care to voice
your opinions diplomatically as you do not want to land
yourself into an argument that could ruin relationships.
Dragon
This month’s motto for you is “There is no easy way out.”
Do not resort to short-cuts to do your work. Be diligent
and follow the rules in completing your assignment. Any
attempt to take the easy way can land you unexpected
trouble.
Horse
This is a good time to build a good network and learn
something new. You are surrounded by harmonious
people and friends who are willing to listen and offer
their support. All in a smooth sailing month and for
single Horses, you are going to experience strong
romantic luck.
Goat
This is a quiet month for you. While there is no major
problem that can cause chaos in your life, you should
still proceed with caution to avoid minor issues that can
turn into a big hassle due to pettiness of others. No a
month to make major decisions.
Monkey
Peach Blossom Luck is shining on you. You may want
to depend on your Man Luck to proactively make your
feelings known as there is no auspicious star this year
to support your romantic endeavours. Remember you
have nothing to lose.
Rooster
As you gain more trust from your superior this year, your
workload will be heavier especially towards the year
end. You may become irritable as you find little time for
yourself. At work, communicate in a precise manner to
avoid misunderstanding. Do relate your situation to your
family as they will be supportive and understanding.
Dog
You will be indulging in good food and drink with good
company. However, do not go overboard with the merry
making as you may find that all that socializing can take
a toll on your health. All in, this is still an auspicious
month for Dogs with a lot of happy news and celebration.
Rat
While you are not fully free from the disruptive cycle
of previous month, you can breathe a sigh of relief as
things take a turn for the better. To be safe, keep working
diligently.
Ox
Some travelling can help mitigate some of your trouble
this month. Go to some place where you can find some
peace and so that you’ll be back energized and ready to
take on any challenges. Follow rules and regulation this
month, and you will do no wrong.

vents or work will move into high gear as we move into a strong metal and water
month. Activities like travel, moving office and migrating are likely to occur this
month.
August still favours collaborative work especially those involving international partnerships.
If the month’s Qi is unfavourable to you, you need to be more alert as to your safety, as
injuries, accident and death toll may rise this month.
This month’s energy favours those who have the following zodiacs: Dragon, Rat and Snake.
Wood Day Masters (甲 Jia Yang Wood and 乙 Yi Yin Wood) especially those born in the
spring and summer season may see that their ideas put to good use. This month you are
prone to conflict with people of higher authority and power.
Fire Day Masters (丙 Bing Yang Fire and 丁 Ding Yin Fire), should avoid under table
Earth Day Masters (戊 Wu Yang Earth and 己 Ji Yin Earth), still a month to focus on
branding and marketing themselves. Put yourself out there!
This month favours Metal Day Masters (庚 Geng Yang Metal and 辛 Xin Yin Metal), looking
for collaborative projects. Partnerships will help them gain a pool of easily accessible
resources.
Water Day Masters (壬 Ren Yang Water and 癸 Gui Yin Water) born in autumn and winter
will experience more competition for their market share. Those born in spring and summer,
should spend some time to build a good network and learn something new.
Tiger
You may experience unstable luck this month. Stay calm.
If you have already implemented your plans, persistence
is the key. Keep going as your problems will resolve in
time. For those who are still in the planning stage, fine-
tune your plans to help you reach your goals.
Rabbit
You are still going through a good luck cycle. Take this
time to turn your plans into reality as you will have many
noble people offering you good opportunities to take
your project to a higher level.
Dragon
Your luck takes a turn for the better this month especially
in terms of wealth and career. Take this time to market
yourself and build a positive image for yourself. Spend
some time on building a good network for your business
or career. People you meet this month can boost your
career with the right timing.
Horse
Wealth luck is strong especially for those in business or in
sales. However, this translates into a heavier workload.
You are going to experience a hectic month with a lot
of short business trips. For employees, your luck cycle
will be stable and leans more towards the positive. Your
work will be recognized by your boss.
Goat
You may go into hermit mode this month with little
interest in your surroundings. This may be due to stress
caused by work or relationship problems. Those who
have just experienced a break-up will try to drown their
pain in work. However, do not isolate yourself for too
long as this method may not help you to resolve your
issues. It is better to seek counselling or a sympathetic
ear from friends and family.
Monkey
You will experience quite a bit of travelling luck. It may
just be short trips but rest assured you’ll find yourself
running around. Why not just take this time to have a
long vacation? Overall luck is stable and smooth.
Rooster
This may not be your best month. The good luck from the
yearly auspicious stars is still shining on you. While there
are no major obstacles, you may lose some money due
to your negligence while negotiating and when signing
documentations, contracts or agreements. Seek the help
of a good lawyer to inspect all agreements thoroughly.
Dog
You may experience positive attention from the opposite
sex this month. This attraction can turn into a serious
relationship if you accept the person into your life. For
singles, this is a month to be proactive in looking out
for a love partner especially for guys. The energy is also
beneficial for networking and public relations work.
Rat
Rat zodiac can expect an auspicious month in terms of
career, wealth and relationships. Be more confident to
take up extra responsibility or start a new project.
Ox
After a month of uncertainty, you can expect a stable
month in August. All aspects of your life will run smoothly.
You will find more wealth opportunities, if you have an
extra source of income. You’ll be in a happier mood
which bodes well for personal relationships. Couples will
find their married life blissful.

Prenuptial agreements may be perceived as unromantic because they introduce financial protections and legal considerations into a relationship, which can detract from the ideal of love and trust. However, individuals may still consider them important to protect personal and business assets in the event of marriage dissolution, which is increasingly common with high divorce rates. This foresight helps manage expectations and protect interests .
Respecting a spouse’s attachment to their parents contributes to a healthier marriage by acknowledging and accepting the natural familial bond and desire to maintain close relationships. This respect reduces conflicts arising from divided loyalties and supports harmonious family interactions, thus strengthening the marital relationship .
Bringing up the conversation about prenuptial agreements early in a relationship is crucial to avoid the appearance of coercion close to the wedding date, which might invalidate the agreement. Initiating this conversation early also opens a dialogue about finances, a sensitive topic for many couples, and ensures the prenup is "fair" in the eyes of the court, preventing one party from being left destitute .
The Law of Attraction can be applied through yoga practices by focusing the mind on desired outcomes while performing specific poses. For example, the Mountain Prayer Pose involves standing straight, relaxing the body, and focusing thoughts on personal goals while breathing deeply for 15 minutes. This mental focus, combined with relaxing music and essential oils, is said to strengthen the attractor power of individual desires .
The Spouse Palace in a Bazi Chart holds significant relevance for marriage predictions as it governs relationships and marriage prospects. It is located at the Day Branch right below the Day Master. A good marriage is indicated by a Spouse Palace that is not in trouble, meaning there should not be any harmful relationships between the Hour and Month Branches, such as harm, clash, destruction, or punishment .
The Marriage Canvas serves as a visual representation of how partners perceive each other in a marital relationship. It illustrates the expectations, values, and roles each partner plays, influenced by personal beliefs, attitudes, and character. This canvas can highlight potential supportive dynamics as well as areas of conflict based on perceived needs and partner roles .
Effective communication strategies for dealing with complicated in-law relationships include: maintaining open dialogue about issues without criticism, empathizing with the spouse's perspectives, and managing personal reactions to in-law opinions by not taking them personally. Remaining calm and constructive while discussing sensitive topics keeps the focus on resolving issues collaboratively .
Focusing on the feeling of love through repeated mantras, such as saying 'Love,' and aligning energy with specific deities like the 合 Harmony Deity can manifest an atmosphere of love and positivity. This practice can transform negative emotions and radiate loving feelings outward, enhancing personal and relational well-being by fostering an environment conducive to love and harmony .
Managing in-law relationships to prevent interference in marital relations involves several strategies: separate issues with in-laws from the marital relationship, maintain open communication while being sympathetic to each other's feelings, not taking in-law opinions personally, and respecting the spouse's natural attachment to their parents. These steps ensure a supportive marital environment despite in-law challenges .
Selecting an auspicious date for discussing a prenup involves aligning the choice with a partner's Bazi Chart to ensure the day’s energies are favorable. Avoiding days that clash with the partner’s Day Pillar (either the Day Stem or Day Branch) prevents agitation and enhances comfort during discussions. Using a Chinese Tong Shu calendar, days like Month Breaker and Year Breaker are avoided while Success Day or Stable Day are preferred .
