By the way, for readers unfamiliar with this destiny analysis, this is a method used with an abacus and a compendium, with 13 chapters with supposedly twelve thousand flowery proses or verses as some are missing for a reason. It’s quite taxing as you have to first work out the hexagram for two gua from early heaven arrangement incorporated with late heaven arrangement from the birth-chart’s four pillars and then using mathematics to derive analysis as well as the changed hexagram to foresee changing circumstances. Apart from that, there are still a lot of other aspects you have to look into. On top of it, you need to have a strong foundation in Bazi and Zi Wei Dou Shu as well as the Yi-Jing.
Expect to pay between HK50,000 dollars onwards for a reading in Hong Kong. However, if you were to go to China and have the affinity to meet one such master in the rural province, it's cheaper, about 300 remminbi onwards.
Ironically, three years ago, there were practitioners incorporating Zi Wei and Zi Ping with this analysis which was wrong accordingly to a North school practitioner in this field.
Back then and now, it is a practice to incorporate 8 palaces or domains of Zi-wei for divination among these cetain schools.
This is how a actual Tie Ban readings would look like.
Dying Unhappiness
A businessman on his deathbed called his friend and said, "Bill, I want you to promise me that when I die you will have my remains cremated."
"And what," his friend asked, "do you want me to do with your ashes?"
The businessman said, "Just put them in an envelope and mail them to the Internal Revenue Service and write on the envelope, 'Now you have everything.'"
A Better Tomorrow.
Good-night.
