Zi Wei Dou Shu

Zi Wei Dou Shu is a very interesting kind of astrology. The findings, interestingly, match those of Four Pillars although the method and the basis are entirely different.

In Zi Wei, we use stars in different areas of life to do the reading. A star is a "living being" that has personality to influence the mind and action of people. Each star can bring events to people over time. It is then up to the person how to react to what he encounters. In other words, the outcome is predetermine.

In this way, a Zi Wei reading is able to offer guidance to people how to live the future.
