#483: Life's Weight (in gold)
According to ancient chinese beliefs, a person's life is destined at the time of birth, many fortune tellers predict the future or show the path using one's birth chart as the basis: Bazi (8 characters), ZiWeiDouShu (Purple Star), MingLiang (Life's weight) are just the many options available to plot one's path at birth.
Interestingly, while one's path may be set at birth, life is about choices and hence every decision we make has a impact on the final outcome. For example, one may be born with health and longevity in his birth chart, but through bad habits like drinking excessively (liver), smoking (lungs) and late nights out, the destiny of good health and longevity is corroded by the very nature of one's choice which the resulting consequence is self-inflicted.
Gaining some awareness into one's path could save that person from choosing the path of least resistance as we progress in life, for example, someone who has an affinity with the creative arts may choose to develop that talent even though arts in general may not be a high-paying career options, perhaps for that person who continues working hard in the arts, there might be a day where the passion creates monetary returns, even if its does not create wealth, at least one is happy doing it, happiness comes from beyond financial wealth.
One limitation that i will always have in my journey into the mystic arts of the chinese will always be my poor command of language. Mandarin has deep cultural roots and requires a deep understanding to interpret phrases correctly and apply to the right context.
Have a go at this:
一生行事似飘蓬，
祖宗产业在梦中，
若不过房改名姓，
也当移徒二三通
Will share a more detail explanation of the extremely chim outcome in the next post
