Bazi vs Feng Shui: Which Influences Your Luck More?
“Master, I feel like I’ve had a bad few years and wish to change my fortune — but luck just isn’t on my side despite trying my best. Can something be done?”
If you’ve ever thought that, you’re not alone.
Over the years, I’ve had many clients — from ambitious professionals in their 30s, to parents in their 40s, to seasoned business owners in their 50s — come to me feeling stuck, unlucky, or like life is somehow working against them.
Some had done all the “right things”: moved house, tried harder, even practiced mindfulness.
And yet… improvements had been limited.
Which has more influence to your luck? Feng Shui or Bazi?
That’s when I explain the two powerful forces shaping your life: Bazi and Feng Shui. I assure you that you would have a clear idea how things shape you after this article.
And the easiest way to understand how they work together is through this analogy – school academic scoring. How?
Our life score is thus made up similarly with different weightage – common test, exams.
So first up..
Feng Shui – Your Mid-Year Exam (Environmental Influence)
Now, your home Feng Shui is like your mid-year exam. It's not everything, but it can tip the scales, especially if you're borderline between success and setback.
Mid-year exams usually carry 30-40% of your grade. Feng Shui works the same way — it amplifies or hinders your Bazi potential depending on:
· How well your home layout supports your elemental needs?
· Whether your wealth and health sectors at home are activated or blocked?
· Are key areas such as main door, kitchen and bedrooms in the right place?
Unlike Bazi (thankfully), your environment is adjustable. You can move house, reposition your bed, activate a wealth corner, or cure a health-affecting sector. Or even better, choose an auspicious house before buying. These shifts can make a visible impact — especially when your Bazi chart is entering a weaker luck cycle.
Bazi is like your final-year exam.
Let’s break it down in a way everyone can relate to — whether you’re hustling through your 20s or refining your path in your 40s or 50s.
Bazi – Your Final-Year Exam (Unchangeable, but Strategic)
Your Bazi is determined the moment you’re born. It outlines your life blueprint — personality, talents, opportunities, and challenges.
Just like the final-year exam that often holds 60-70% of your total grade, Bazi has a heavy influence over your overall life direction. It tells you:
· When your luck cycles peak or dip
· Your assets in this life (relationship/career/wealth/health/ any nobleman etc)
· Your weakness and issues more susceptible to cause problems
To better illustrate - A person with an auspicious strong Bazi but staying in a less auspicious house is like a genius in a noisy classroom — potential wasted. A person weaker Bazi in a good house? It’s like a struggling student with a great tutor and helpful classmates — real progress!
Together, Bazi and Fengshui contribute to your Life Score.
It is therefore critical to ensure you ensure your ‘mid-year exam’ is well prepared to improve your Life Score. And for ‘final year exam’, though not changeable, you can still get insights to when are your ups and downs to navigate better by leveraging on your strength.
So, question is, have you prepared for your exams?
