Is there God?

Scientists were preparing an experiment to ask the ultimate question.

They had worked for months gathering one each of every computer that was built. Finally the big day was at hand. All the computers were linked together. They asked the question, "IS THERE A GOD?"

Suddenly there was a loud crash, and in a brilliant explosion of silicon and plastic the computers fused into what appeared to the scientists to be one large computer in place of the many smaller ones.

One of the scientists raced to the printer as it finally output its answer. "There is NOW", read the printout.

Right now, it's a Saturday nite.

Mistaken Identity

A middle aged woman has a heart attack and is taken to the hospital. While on the operating table she has a near-death experience. During that experience she sees God and asks if this is it. God says no and explains that she has another 30-40 years to live.

Upon her recovery she decides to just stay in the hospital and have a face lift, liposuction, breast augmentation, and a tummy tuck. She even has someone come in and change her hair colour. She figures that since she's got another 30 or 40 years she might as well make the most of it.

She walks out the hospital after the last operation and is killed by an ambulance speeding up to the hospital.

She arrives in front of God again and asks, "I thought you said I had another 30-40 years?"

God replies, "Sorry, I didn't recognize you."

That's all folks for tonite.

The importance of the MotherShip

Hi all,

I'm BACK.

Tian Ji The Strategist



Before we go further to our next main character,Tian Ji, the strategist for Northern Group, let's look at the characteristic of the chart's twelve palace.

All together, there are twelve domains or palaces and each has twelve earthly branch attached to it. This would affect the brightness or dimness of the stars that falls into it.

For Birth chart,
Ming Gong (The Life palace or self-domain)

The Ming Gong is the person’s Destiny palace. It has to do with “pre-heaven”, your destiny and what has already been decided for you. The Ming is similar to the Sun Sign or 1st House. Look for the lifetime Ming palace, and then at the palace’s bottom right-hand corner, bottom word.

Four Horses/Corners
Yin (Tiger)
Si (Snake)
Shen (Monkey)
Hai (Pig)

Four Directions/Romance
Zi (Rat)
You (Rooster)
Wu (Horse)
Mao (Rabbit)

Four Earths/Grave
Chou (Ox)
Chen (Dragon)
Wei (Sheep)
Shu (Dog)

The Four Horses/Corners (Shen, Si, Yin, Hai) are the branches in the corner palaces of a Zi Wei chart. They are often called the Four Horses because these Four Corners have to do with movement. People with their Ming Gong in a Horses/Corner palace are always on the move and have trouble sitting still. They may also invite problems unnecessarily.

The Four Directions (Zi, Mao, Wu, You) are the branches in the palaces associated with the four cardinal directions - North, East, South, and West respectively. These branches are sometimes called the Four Failures because of people with their Ming here love parties, social life, romance, drinking, gambling, and overspending. The Chinese term for this is “peach blossoms”. Peach blossoms are among the first flowers to bloom in China, usually around the end of December until the spring rains destroy them in February. They are lovely, bright and lively, but do not last long. People with a lot of peach blossoms were not considered to have much hope of living productively and responsibly, but in modern times these people can do quite well in the arts and entertainments fields, where this kind of charisma can help them succeed.

The Four Earths (Chen, Chou, Shu, Wei) are the branches associated with the Earth element. They are sometimes called the Four Graves. Earth is heavy and not easily moved or changed, thus those with their Ming in one of the Four Earths find it difficult to change and move as well. They must work very hard to achieve and will do better if they move far from their birthplace as early as is possible. Those with their Ming in Chen (“Heaven Net”) or Shu (“Earth Net”) get “stuck” even more easily and need to break through their nets in order to succeed.


Shen Gong or Body Palace


The Shen Gong is “post-heaven”, where you are headed in life. Ming tends to represent one’s early life, while Shen represents later life.


The Location of Ming Gong or Life Palace


The Branch of the Palace in which the Ming Gong falls determines certain characteristics of a person's life. Look in each palace at the lower right-hand side, bottom word.

The other side of a Geomancer

The Serpent or The Knowledge.

Hi, my fellow practitioners,

Some music about us, the Yin and the Yang. Ha-ha,...



Guess you better think twice about it in view of the expectations from people.
Hee-hee, anyway I like the energy from this MTV, so groovy, wonder what will youngsters now thinks about it,ha-ha,Ha. Let's hope they don't call us 'Ah-Pek'( a local slang for old man ). Well,I guess it should be time for us to keep in trend with them.

'Don't worry, if we keep putting off decisions , eventually it will be made for us.'

Well,anyway, Smile and let's relax tonite.

About Purple Star Astrology

This is a typical Zi Wei chart courtesy taken from Master Tony Tan of Tony Harmony Academy.




Man has always been in awe of the future and therefore of course wouldn’t mind possessing this knowledge to know the future. In the past, knowledge of metaphysics has always been kept within certain circles of power regardless of whatever society it is in. However for life and destiny analysis, there is no doubt that most of it is based and derived on observations of the stars in astrology though in ancient times, it is associated with hoola-bula stuff.

The interesting thing about Zi Wei astrology is that it is believed to be created by a Taoist priest by the name of Chen Xiyi. And it is based on the astrological stars in the twenty-eight constellations. I personally feel that it is not necessarily being spiritually associated, it should prejudices our view of this metaphysic studies.

Zi Wei Do Shu’s Northern group of stars is based on the Polaris star or North Star and its relationship with the Big Dipper. Literally, you can call it Emperor Star. The Southern group is based on the nearest star to the South Pole, Sigma Octantis. Now you will ask what has it got to do with my destiny? Some writers tried to explain this way, part of an interpretations by Mr. Hua-Ching Ni, renowned Taoist. ‘when the sun, moon and stars shine, their spiritual particles reach the earth. The overflow, insufficiency or balance of this energy shower, influence a child’s future life expression. At Birth, this new life receives its influence and become a symbol of the product of that energy at that time.’ Well, it is accepted that the sun and stars emitted energies (except for the moon which reflected back the energy from the sun.) accordingly to Einstein’s famous equation E=mc2 where E=energy, m=mass and c=speed of light. Like laser, it can now be used for medical fields, war, etc…. Well, everybody by now should know light travels faster than sound, so maybe it explains why some people appears bright until they open their mouth, ha-ha, just kidding.

Basically, there are altogether 119 stars to plot and look at in a birth-chart which is one of the reasons that this analysis for destiny is not so popular. However, most of the Chinese names given to the stars are symbolic and more of a description of the characteristic of the energy associated with it.

The Emperor Star


Altogether, there are mainly fourteen major energies or stars that we can start with. The first group, the Northern Groups with six major stars. Lets’ begin with Zi Wei, the Emperor on which the birth-chart would be plotted based on which of the twelve earthly branch that it falls into. The other stars would be Tian Ji , the strategist, Tai-yang, the sun, Wu Qu, the artistic general, Tian Tong, the waif and Lian Zhen, the politician which is also a peach blossom star second to Tang Lang which is in the Southern Group.Ha-ha, no wonder politicians has always been associated with sex scandals.

Now, don’t be disappointed if the Emperor star doesn’t fall into your life palace in the birth-chart though I’ m sure that everybody wants to be an Emperor too. However, it could be good or bad depending on its interaction with the other stars in the other palaces at what we can call the matrix at a certain particular point of time for forecasting. Sometimes, having the Emperor elsewhere at the right place could means that you are the Emperor's favourite and enjoy favors.
I'm referring to the chart above if you are a bit slow. I like the movie 'The Matrix'.

Oh by the way,about the Emperor Star as what it suggested is the characteristics of an Emperor, a person with an aura of power, courage and wise like a king. However, it is not a stand alone star, it needs to be supported by good ministers and supporters ( other good stars) in the matrix to metaphorically speaking to be a good Emperor. That’s what we meant by interaction from the other two main palaces in a span of the life. If it is alone by itself and demoralized or affected by bad stars, it could mean been like a tyrant, arrogant and bad tempered persons. Its element is associated with Yin Earth (-)

Well, that’s all for now.

About Purple Star Astrology

What is Zi Wei Duo Shu? When I started five years ago, it was the hype trend among celebrities in Taiwan and Singapore to seek analysis on their destinies, as accordingly from what I heard from some people in my circle of friends, related to the media-corp in Singapore. They were so in awe of it, you know the ‘oohs and aahs’, It has the ability to forecast any disasters that would happen to a person. It’s like having the power over Life and Death. I was surprised that then like Qi Men Dun Jia, it then lost its appeal from fengshui students.. Maybe its because some top masters stop teaching about it further except for the basics and therefore it then loses its appeals. Till I then met a Taiwanese fengshui master who convinced me about its value as I was then too engrossed in Ba-Zi or the Four pillars of Destiny. I then begin to seriously start collecting knowledge on whatever I can find in books and on the internet. For Qi Men Dun Jia, I feel a lot of masters have incorporated too much technical aspects into it to make it unuseable or they also feel that it is also forbidden knowledge and therefore maybe, they safeguard it that way but did put in some hints in their lectures and notes for those with the affinities to master it.

Later on, five years later, I feel that those Zi-Wei masters maybe has the same personal feelings that I have now, is that it is like the forbidden fruit in biblical history of Adam and Eve and their encounter with the Serpent which is supposed to represent the Temptation.. Surprisingly, the Chinese Pa-kua also depict the Serpent as an unfriendly energy. Though I am not a Christian now but I was a Christian, In fact, I had several intimate relationship (not the other type, ha-ha, mind you) with other religions in my quest for spiritual knowledge without betraying my conscience. I then feel that if this knowledge is to fall into the wrong hands which would then be abused like helping drug-traffickers or murderers,etc, to change their destiny, how then it would affect our Karma and Society? Till this stage, I am also not sure whether to share my findings or not. Are we Mankind mature enough to handle it? However, until I’m sure like the other masters, I would just go thru the basics and in between put in some hints in my postings for those with the affinity to develop this knowledge further. So, don’t be disappointed, if you think the postings here would make you have control of your destiny which some books or courses instilled but anyway I’m sure it would improve your life.. And also, I’m offering it without any commercial intent. So you got nothing to lose getting to know all these old friends who have been around for thousands of years or you can treat it as a bed-time read to let you fall asleep.after a hard day’s work. However, for serious practitioner, to go further, as I would says again, you need to have some basic knowledge of Yi-Jing.

I would then proceed with the descriptions of the major stars concerned thereafter in my next posting.

Good-nite and good dreams, ha-ha.
