In Chinese Metaphysics, Good Destiny is about Balance and Completeness. Using BA ZI as an example, a Good Destiny needs a balanced number of YIN YANG and Five Elements in an individual’s chart. Diagram 1 is a pictorial representation of a Fire person’s BA ZI chart with balanced Five Elements that is represented by Self (Fire), Productivity (Earth), Wants (Metal), Responsibility (Water), Intellect (Wood). What Diagram 1 signifies is

Self -> With Ability -> Generate Wealth -> Manage Wealth Responsibly -> Continuous Self Improvement-> Cycle completes and continues…

The concept of a balanced chart varies from what most people have in mind which is Good Wealth Luck = Good Destiny, the bigger the $ sign the better. There is no doubt about the importance of money here but to have a bigger $ sign means, some other element will be compromised because the number of elements in a chart is finite. This will throw the chart off balance. What Diagram 2 signifies is if the Productivity element is taken away to make the $ sign bigger:

The result will be:

1. There is a lost of Ability to generate Wealth.
2. Self will “attack” the Wants (refer to the cycle of destruction in the BA ZI article) without earth to facilitate the generative cycle and exhaust itself in the long run to a point that it may eventually diminish.

There is a BA ZI theory to this kind of BA ZI configuration which is “More Wealth will Weaken Self”.

An important point to note is the above is an example of only one type of BA ZI configuration. It is to show that it is not necessary that a bigger $ sign will mean it is a Good Destiny. Having a bigger $ sign is not always bad (it is not always the Productivity element that gets removed like in the example). Whether it will be good (rich) or bad (bad for self) is dependent on the overall configuration of a BA ZI chart.

Not everyone is born or needs a big $ sign to have a Good Destiny. As seen in the above example Wealth can be generate by the Ability and similarly by other elements. Everyone’s Destiny Configuration, Environment and Choices can be different. Importantly is to know yours and turn it into a Good Destiny.

Do you know your own Destiny?

在中华易学中，好命运的本质就是平衡和圆满的。以八字为例，一个好命运需有平衡的阴阳和五行数量。图示一是火命人五行平衡的八字表达，代表了自我 (火), 生产力 (土), 欲望 (金), 控制 (水), 智慧 (木)。图示一表示的是：

自我 -> 拥有能力 -> 创造财富 -> 负责任地管理财富 -> 不断提升自我-> 周圆满而复始…

这个平衡命盘的概念与大多数人所想的“好财运=好命运，$ 符号越大越好”的观念不同。这里并不否认金钱的重要性，但是要拥有更大的 $ 符号，就意味着其他元素的妥协因为元素数量是固定的。这使命盘失去平衡。图示二表示的是，例如我们拿走生产力元素以增加欲望元素：

结果将会是：

1. 能力减少，无法生产财富。
2. 自我将“攻击”欲望 (请参考八字文章中的相克循环) 因为土不在协助相生遁环，并在长期中耗尽自身，可能最终衰减。

八字理论对于这种组合，称为“财多身弱”。

要注意的一点, 以上只是一种八字组合的示例，旨在说明 $ 符号更大并不总是意味着好的命运。，拥有大 $ 符号也并非总是坏事（并非被减少的一定是生产力元素）。是好（富有）还是坏（对自己不利）取决于一个八字的整体配置。

并不是每个人出生或需要大量的 $ 符号才能拥有良好的命运。 如上例所示，财富可以通过能力元素生产，类似地可以通过其他元素产生。 每个人的命运配置、环境和选择都可能不同。 重要的是了解你的命运并将其转化为好的命运。。
