Each of us is guided by a "Gua," which provides a broad yet surprisingly accurate overview of our outward personality. This engaging method offers a snapshot of who we are and what to expect in the coming year. For a deeper insight, a BaZi reading is highly recommended.
This detailed analysis examines various aspects of your life, including the month, day, and time of your birth. By exploring these intricate details, BaZi provides a more comprehensive understanding of your characteristics and forecasts for the year ahead.
A Kan Gua, or #1 person, embodies the qualities of water—wilful, impatient, and always seeking the quickest route.
Much like water, they prefer the path of least resistance, focusing on completing tasks efficiently rather than worrying about the process.
In 2026, the #6 star will influence your life. When we see both these auspicious stars together, often referred to as two of the three white stars, it is always auspicious. 1 & 6 being a HeTu grouping means that there is a kinship and would herald the coming of a new partnership (but not romance) of equals benefitting the Gua # 1 person. Health is good, or time to focus on your health is good.
A Kun Gua, or #2 person, is highly versatile and adept at managing multiple tasks simultaneously. They possess a vast reservoir of knowledge and often have an intuitive understanding of things, sometimes without realizing how they know. Independent and self-sufficient, they rarely rely on others and exude confidence and security.
With a keen financial acumen, they excel in real estate and property development, demonstrating an innate business sense that is more instinctual than learned.
In 2026, the #7 star will influence your life. When 2 and 7 come together, it’s a HeTu combination and considered to be auspicious for health and family luck.
Consider working on something creative, starting something new, for a woman it’s an auspicious time to have children, and forming new alliances & partnerships.
A Zhen Gua, or #3 person, embodies the essence of thunder - spontaneous, sudden, and often attention-grabbing. Their presence is unmistakable and impactful. Much like a tree, they provide shelter and support to others, enduring their own hardships while offering protection and assistance. While they are deeply competitive, they tend to express this drive in subtle ways rather than overtly.
In 2026, the #8 star will influence your life, bringing timely and auspicious opportunities for success across various areas.
When we see 3 and 8 together, it’s a HeTu combination and considered to be auspicious for health and family luck.
This is beneficial to the Gua 3 person who will create wealth, more from investments and dividends or a new business, rather than revenue income or salary.
A Gua 4, or Xun person, is like a graceful flower swaying in the breeze - gentle, adaptable, and flexible. Their strength lies in their ability to adjust to any situation and leverage available support to achieve their goals.
In 2026, you will be influenced by the #9 star, and the 4 and 9 together is a HeTu combination and considered to be auspicious for health and family luck.
Additionally, 9 is the most auspicious star in Period 9 so on its own it functions as a timely or Wang Qi (current good luck) star.
The luck is focused on fame & recognition, as also on business and performance & creativity, and visibility.
A Qian Gua, or #6 person, exudes a regal presence and carries themselves with the air of a ruler. Their demeanour commands respect, and they naturally take on leadership roles due to their authoritative nature. They are steadfast in their beliefs and exhibit strong confidence. However, this strong conviction can sometimes lead to close-mindedness and a reluctance to accept other viewpoints.
In 2026, the #2 star will influence your life. Star 2 has many avatars, one is that it relates to property & assets so it would effectively favour investments, inheritance, and good for asset creation.
As a side show, 2 also determines health and is also known as the “Black sickness star”:. Timing of being in Period 9 reduces its potentially toxic nature, but one must be mindful of ones health.
To a Gua 6 in particular, 2 is not that bad, its like a warm hug in a way, that leaves you with some ill effect.
A Dui Gua, or #7 person, is always in the spotlight. You can easily spot a Dui Gua by their lively and talkative nature—they are the most articulate and expressive individuals around. Known for their joyfulness and love of fun, they also possess a strong will and determination. Don’t let their cheerful demeanour deceive you; they balance hard work during the day with energetic socializing at night.
In 2025, you will encounter the #3 star, which is the combination of 10 with the 7, considered auspicious for wealth but also in a way, a fighting star, that can cause arguments and discord being of opposing elements (7 is metal, 3 is wood) but in the end should be fine.
When wealth comes to your palace one should embrace that star, and focus on wealth related activity.
A Gen Gua, or #8 person, is characterized by a powerful yet understated presence. They are strong, reliable individuals who prefer to let their actions speak louder than words. Imagine a mountain with a dormant volcano inside—this is the essence of their strength and quiet authority. Their stability and reliability often lead them to success.
In 2026, you will encounter the #4 star, which is a big relief from the past year where dealing with the 5 caused a lot of obstacles & hardship. This is a gentle star, think grass growing on a mountain, each one doing their own thing peacefully.
4 is considered “Direct Officer” to Gua 8 so we focus on getting things into order, bringing order to chaos, and in general focusing on romance and education, the core values of a star 4.
In 2026, Gua 9 receives the controversial and not very desirable #5 star. This can bring on illness, money loss, confusion and a lot of sudden and unwarranted headaches.
At the same time, mega deals can only happen at a time like this, so its a double-edged sword.
To make the most of the year, understand that its going to be tough and prepare for it.
If you have any lingering health issues pay heed to that so you can take care of it before it affects you.
Do not make any grand investments and keep your savings safe, steady and untouched at least for this year.
From the Feng Shui perspective, use the Tain Yi sector of your property, avoid the South and if possible use the Southeast 2 and West 3 directions for bed and only the Southeast 2 for desk and stove facing.
Ensure that your stove location & kitchen also support you.
