The Cosmic Agenda

by Master Zhongxian Wu (Foreword to Calculating the BaZi by Karin Taylor Wu) Did you ever wonder why it seems that some people are born with luck while others are merely lucky to be born? Most people prefer to believe that they alone make choices that shape their future. Yet, in large part, our destiny is designed… Continue reading The Cosmic Agenda

Zhongxian Wu“Fortunately, with her rich knowledge of the GanZhi BaZi, skillful writing talent, and steadfastness, Karin Taylor Wu is offering us her SuanBaZi [Calculating the BaZi] workbook. This book delivers clear instruction for making a GanZhi BaZi astrology chart and calculating the cosmic influences. With careful precision, she lays out numerous sample exercises to help students develop their understanding of the calculations, offers many practice exercises to help students get into the flow of chart building, and presents opportunities for deeper understanding by providing real BaZi case studies. On top of all that, this book reveals (for the first time) my own secret method for making a chart without needing to have a GanZhi calendar on hand!

Karin Taylor Wu’s SuanBaZi will bring continual benefits to serious students of Chinese wisdom traditions, such as medicine, astrology, cosmology, Fengshui, Yijing, internal alchemy, Qigong, Taiji, and others. It is an extraordinary tool to help you access your TianSuan, the Cosmic Agenda!”

Master Zhongxian Wu

“I only started reading this book, but so far I’m very happy with it. Some real valuable information in here. I’ve been looking for a long time for a book that explains the BaZi… Finally! The only reason I’m giving it a 4 is because I wish I ordered the paperback edition. There are quite a number of tables and charts that you need to flip between to do the calculations, so it feels a little slow and frustrating on the Kindle. I have bookmarked the tables and charts as I go, but a printed version of this book would work easier, because you will be able to flag the pages and get to them quicker.

I may still buy the paperback as well.

Thanks Karin! Good job!”
