Core Insight: A common question is: "If a Caesarean birth time is chosen by humans, can the Bazi analysis still be accurate?" In fact, there is no fundamental difference between Bazi for Caesarean and natural birth. The moment you are born is the true starting point of your life energy.
Late last night, a long-time reader sent me a private message.
He said, "Master Jiu, I've been struggling in Shenzhen for ten years. I still don't have a house, and I'm about to turn 35. Is this it for me?"
I didn't comfort him, nor did I give him "chicken soup for the soul." I only asked him one question: "Do you know what 'Timing' (Tian-Shi) is?"

Yesterday, I received a private message from a parent filled with anxiety: "Master, my son has been brilliant since childhood, winning awards in various Math Olympiads. Why did he underperform in the college entrance exam and only get into an average university? Is this really fate?"
Have you ever encountered such a "coincidence"? Meeting someone born on the same year, month, day, and even the exact same hour as you.
In that moment, you might think: "Since our 'factory settings' (Bazi) are identical, shouldn't our lives be like mirrors of each other?"
Have you ever met someone who is incredibly talented but always seems to hit a wall in this rules-based world because they are "too unique"? Or do you know that person who is usually a mild-mannered pushover, but once a line is crossed, explodes with an energy that makes them seem like a completely different person?
Yesterday, a friend complained to me that since she raised a Husky at home, not only was her house turned upside down, but her work also became unsmooth, feeling like she "offended the Tai Sui" (Grand Duke Jupiter).
I smiled and asked her: "Have you checked if this dog's Five Elements are compatible with your BaZi?"
