I never thought I would have this conversation, but here I am—sitting across from my younger self in a quiet café, watching him sip his coffee with that familiar mix of curiosity and uncertainty. He looks at me, searching for answers, wondering if all the struggles he is facing will eventually make sense.
I smile. “You have no idea, do you?”
He shakes his head. “No. I just feel like I’m running in circles. I work hard, I try, but I don’t even know if I’m heading in the right direction.”
That was the problem, wasn’t it? Talent isn’t the issue. Direction is.
The Biggest Mistake People Make: Not Knowing Their Talents Early Enough
If there’s one thing I’ve learned through years of studying BaZi, it’s this: Your talents are already written in your chart. But finding them, using them at the right time—that’s what makes or breaks you.
The 10 Gods in BaZi reflect different types of abilities—some people have one dominant strength, while others are blessed with many. The problem with having too many? Confusion. Paralysis. Endless trial and error.
I look at my younger self and ask, “What do you think you're good at?”
He hesitates. “I don’t know. I like many things. But nothing really works out.”
I nod. “That’s because you’re not using the right talent at the right time.”
The Right Talent, The Right Timing
BaZi isn’t about telling the future like some mystical crystal ball. It’s about understanding timing and leverage.
When intellect stars show up in your luck cycle and combine with wealth stars in your natal chart, that’s your moment. That’s when your skills, mindset, and opportunities align to create good wealth luck. It’s not just hard work—it’s hard work at the right time.
But most people don’t know this. They push against the tide when they should be riding the wave.
Reflecting on My Own Mistakes
I sigh and take a sip of my coffee. “Looking back, I made mistakes too.”
Younger Me leans forward. “Like what?”
Too emotional when I should have been logical. Too logical when I should have been emotional.
Sometimes I let emotions cloud my judgment in business, holding onto things longer than I should. Other times, I treated life like a chessboard, making cold, calculated moves when I should have led with my heart.
That’s the irony of being human. We make mistakes, we learn, and if we’re smart, we course-correct.
BaZi helps with that—it doesn’t erase mistakes, but it helps us understand them so we don’t repeat them.
Progressing from Here: Using BaZi as a Guide, Luck Cycles as Leverage
I look at my younger self and see the weight of uncertainty on his shoulders.
“You’re going to make mistakes. Accept that. But you’ll also grow, learn, and refine your path.”
I pause, choosing my next words carefully. “You don’t have to guess your way through life. Your BaZi chart is a blueprint. Your luck cycle is the weather forecast. Learn to read them, and you’ll know when to build, when to wait, and when to pivot.”
He looks down at his coffee, deep in thought. “So you’re saying… it’s all about understanding my timing?”
I nod. “Exactly.”
The Journey That Changed My Life—And Hopefully Yours Too
I never expected Feng Shui and BaZi to change my life the way they did. I started with questions, seeking answers for myself. Now, I use this knowledge to guide others, helping them unlock their potential, avoid unnecessary struggles, and align their actions with the rhythm of their destiny.
I stand up, ready to leave. My younger self looks up at me. “Any last advice?”
I smile. “Keep learning. Keep improving. Make each day better than the last. The answers you seek? They’ve been with you all along. You just need to know where to look.”
I walk away, leaving him to finish his coffee—wiser, but with the same fire of curiosity in his eyes.
That’s the thing about life. We don’t need to be perfect. We just need to keep moving forward.
