Your self discovery begins with finding your Main or Day Master element. Once you make your birth bazi chart, this element is the Heavenly stem of the Day you are born in, based on Hour, Day, Month & Year Combination. 

After you discover your day master, you can also determine which luck cycle you are currently living: Forward Cycle (progressive) or Reverse Cycle (regressive). This cycle depends on person's original biological gender and polarity of the birth year. For example, person born in 2004 is considered to be a Yang Person, because 2004 was a Yang Year.

While person born in 1975 is considered to be a Yin Person, because 1975 was a Yin Year. Every female born in Yin year is living Forward Cycle, while male born in Yin years lives reverse cycle. 

On contrary, female born in 2004, which is Yang year, living the Reverse cycle, while male born in 2004 is living Forward.

Who is your “best friend” & "Who is your Daddy"? 

Each element as you know, has Yin & Yang qualities. Based on who we are, we can determine which side of each element supports us, & which side causes us to experience losses. These are also directly connected to each elements's interaction with our own: support or conflict cycle.  This information is very important, especially when we get attracted to the people, who are our opposites. These are the charts below by Mingli.ru ©.

Life Periods (decades): How I feel vs How I look

Finally, but not last, you study & research your Life Periods (Luck decades).

Your self-discovery is  your "luck decades", to project possibilities of your success.  Sometimes, how we  feel, is not exactly how we may appear to others. People can perceive us wrong way during the certain periods.

Once you know this, you can determine your luck possibilities, failures or recovery options for each decade of your life. Even if we can not prevent all tragedies, we can at least be prepared, for the upcoming bumps on the life road. 

So, how do you find out?

Heavenly Stem of the Period is how you would “Feel”, while Earth Branch of the Period is how you would “appear to others”.

The Symbolic Stars

"The term "Shén Shā" is sometimes translated literally as "gods and devils", but in-fact they do not relate to any ghosts or celestiial beings; in this case, shen (神) means beneficial influence and sha (煞) means baleful influence." 

The Symbolic Stars in your Bazi chart are More Important than the Symbolic stars in the decade. However, they all need to be reviewed. Do not go into panic mode after the word Death Star or "Wang Shen". Sometimes, it means "the Break Through".

And remember, NOT ALL  "Peach Blossoms"   ~  are good. Some can lead to tragedies.
