The Chinese have always been fascinated by the metaphysical subject of destiny. It is this profound curiosity about man’s path in life, the journey of a person, and the question of who we are, why we are here, and what are we supposed to do during our brief existence on this planet, , that led the Chinese to study and seek methods for analysing a person’s destiny.
These later evolved to become two systems of Chinese Astrology known as BaZi (Eight Characters, also known as Four Pillars) and Zi Wei Dou Shu (Purple Star Astrology).
