Jiu Gong Ming Li: An Introduction To 9 Palace Fate Calculations

The Next Step

Here we have the essence of the 9 Palace Fate Calculation system. There are many ways to enhance and deepen one's knowledge of the method. You can learn all the other systems of Chinese Astrology, but it will not necessarily make you a better practitioner of the art. The most important thing to do is practice. Collect birthdays of people you know and celebrities, and work their charts out or have them done for you so that you can have the correct day number. Watch the "stargazer's journal" webzine for new ideas and insight about ways to read the 9 Stars. After following examples for a while, go take a seat in the mall and observe the crowds - try to guess numbers by personal style etc. Try to correlate the behavior of friends and family (and yourself) with the 9 Ki Stars in their charts. Keep coming back to the site for more articles and updates. See what other authors are doing with the 9 Ki system. In other words, put some energy into it - unlike our current technological tools, it will give back more than you put in.

Two final points about the 9 Palace Fate Calculation method.

1. This is only the tip of the iceberg. This divination system is written in the language of ancient Taoist metaphysics, and aligning the mind with these concepts may take you places you do not expect; into a world of new perceptions and ideas. This is not another rehash of new age pap, or other modernist attempts to mechanize the world of spirit as has been done to the world of matter. It is full of mystery and wonder. If you follow the 9 Palace Fate Calculation articles of this website, you will see that our intent is to share knowledge about the system that is revolutionary, profound, and most importantly, useful.
2. Please read the opinion articles on Fate and Divination and see that we do not consider the study and practice of divination as a superstitious attempt to escape from reality, as mechanists would have you believe. The world that believes divination to be a conspiracy of some forgotten control paradigm is bereft of the power that the science of symbol graciously bestows on those who learn its ways. This is an opportunity to take a peek into the tides of cause and effect, and make decisions based on what the universe is likely to do, as long as your resolve is firm and your purpose is unified. Or it can be used to glimpse that which will reveal its meaning to you at the right time. By simply listening to a different perspective, you may be prodded to loosen the rules by which you assign meaning to the events in your life, and by changing what the various challenges of life mean, you change the quality of energy you receive from them.
