How we read Bazi for Employee Selection

Is Employee selection based on Day Master?

A question was asked if the employee selection is based on Day Master.

Essentially, when we read a BaZi chart, we read the chart in its entirety i.e. we read the basic four pillars together with the Luck Pillar and Annual Pillar. The basic foundation of Zi Ping Ba Zi is to take the Day Master as the reference point and using the other 3 pillars to determine its influence to the Day Master. These basic four pillars will give us the “picture” of who the person is, the personality, the strength and weaknesses plus a few other factors of the potential candidate. This is where we will evaluate and determine the “job-fit” with the employer. We will present our analysis but the final decision comes from the employer.

Complexity of BaZi

Humans are complicated creature. We are influenced by a lot of factors coming from all angles. For example, if you are familiar with the construction of a BaZi chart, you already know that the Day Master, that is you, are influenced by your Grand-Parents, Parents, Siblings and Children, if any. This is one layer. Each one of us re-acts to a certain way when probed by external environment and this reaction is our personality, as seen by people around us, developed over the years ever since we were a child. Hence, to understand a person, we need to know what the individual is made-up of and these can be found in the four pillars of a BaZi chart.

Difference between Divination and BaZi Reading

Sometimes practitioners will use the Day Master alone together with some “Gua-pictures'” to derive an answer. This method of reading is what we call ‘Divination’ reading. If used correctly, it is fairly accurate. The only setback is that to get an answer, you need to have a question. And the method used to get the answer is only valid at that point of time. Using it again at another time will get you a different answer.

Once we have analysed the 4 pillars, we will evaluate the Luck Pillar the candidate is going through. All employers want to hire employees who can contribute to the success of the company. They want employees who are effective, efficient and productive. The Luck Pillars will give us the information. It is about timing and timing is the essence of maximising opportunities when it is right.

We always based the employee selection on Day Master in conjunction with the other pillars to derive a complete picture. The Day Master is the representation of the individual and combined with all the Pillars, it tells us the full story of the individual.
