The meaning and positioning of Huagai in Ba Zi divination are briefly described as follows:
Huagai (based on the day branch and year branch) – for those born in the years of Tiger, Horse, and Dog, Huagai is found in the Dog; for those born in the years of Snake, Rooster, and Ox, it is found in the Ox; for those born in the years of Monkey, Rat, and Dragon, it is found in the Dragon; for those born in the years of Pig, Rabbit, and Willow, it is found in the Willow.
1. Huagai symbolizes being aloof and high-minded. Originally an artistic star, it represents a person with high wisdom, unique words and deeds, and specialized skills, but such people tend to be arrogant, original, and different from ordinary people.
2. If a person's Ba Zi contains Huagai, they may be interested in esoteric culture, believe in Buddhism, Taoism, and numerology, and their hobbies might revolve around immortals, qigong, and divination.
3. The "artistic" nature of Huagai usually refers to "middle nine streams" or "lower nine streams" arts, and the most evident sign is related to mysterious things. Those who study divination and have Huagai in their Ba Zi may possess some spiritual qualities in this field.
4. The "solitude" of Huagai often refers to inner loneliness, self-righteousness, and not conforming to the crowd. They like to read and study alone. Being studious is a characteristic of those with Huagai in their Ba Zi, but if there are two or more Huagais or if the Ba Zi combinations are not auspicious, it could lead to familial loneliness.
5. "Huagai meets empty death, better suited for monks and Taoists." If the Huagai star in the Ba Zi falls into emptiness, it indicates a person's spiritual emptiness or detachment, possibly with thoughts of becoming a monk or a nun.
6. After summarizing, Huagai also indicates that a person is somewhat honest and kind-hearted.
7. Having two or more Huagais in the Ba Zi is not necessarily good, often leading to missing opportunities.
8. When the official seal sits on Huagai, academic success is achieved, and if the official seal is prominent, the person may become an administrative official. As the saying goes: "When the official seal meets Huagai, one will hold a prestigious position in the literary academy."
9. If the Ba Zi includes Huagai and has many food spirits, injury spirits, and secondary seals, the person may be a doctor, diviner, or writer.
10. When Huagai sits on a tomb, for example, if a person is born on the day of Bing or Ding, and the tomb is in the Dog, which is also Huagai; if born on the day of Jia or Yi, and the tomb is in the Willow, which is also Huagai; if born on the day of Wu or Ji, and the tomb is in the Chen or Chou, which is also Huagai; if born on the day of Geng or Xin, and the tomb is in the Chou, which is also Huagai, then one can enjoy a quiet and leisurely life. A poem says: "Heavily repeated Huagai, diligent in learning art." "If Huagai appears twice, and the time branch repeats Huagai, it means that men and women are lonely and isolated." Huagai is an artistic and leisurely person, and whether it is strong or weak is judged differently. He is skilled in literature, divination, and other arts, and belongs to the lower nine streams, including monks and Taoists. If Huagai is accompanied by the Hui (a type of spirit) and the ghost, he may become a craftsman or a teacher. If the ghost is few and has vitality, he may become a monk or a nun. There is also such an explanation: People with Huagai in their Ba Zi must be intelligent and studious, calm and indifferent, but inevitably a bit reclusive. If Huagai meets the official seal and is in a strong state, he will definitely hold a high position in the government. If Huagai meets the void or is destroyed, he may become a monk or a nun, or live a lonely life, or else be adopted or marry into another family, relying on a skill to wander. As stated in the "Huzhongzi": "Huagai is the artistic star," and according to the "Zhu Jing Jing": "Huagai is the protective and clear spirit, representing a person who is broad-minded, clear-minded, and has a tranquil and unambitious nature. He is not beneficial in terms of wealth, but when combined with the noble treasures, he becomes a blessing, particularly respected and outstanding." As said in the "Sanche Yilan": "Repetition of Huagai indicates diligence in studying arts," and "Huagai is a clever person." Ancient poetry says: "Meeting Huagai, one is destined for literature and art." According to the "Tongming Fu": "When Huagai is on the body, one is destined to be a person outside the secular world, devoted to the lotus society and the imperial office, living modestly in the grassland and bamboo verses." A person with Huagai in their Ba Zi has a tranquil and elegant character, is smart, rich in cultural talent and artistic sensitivity, and tends towards philosophy and religion. If a woman's Ba Zi has Huagai, along with the beauty spirit and the noble spirit, she is likely to become a famous singer or actress. If Huagai is in the time branch, it may indicate adoption or a life of solitude and widowhood. Through the above introduction, we have roughly understood some meanings of "Huagai". Lu Xun once wrote a poem called "Self-mockery", the first two lines of which are: "My fate encounters the Huagai, what can I seek? I haven't dared to roll over yet, I've already bumped my head." It mentions the Huagai star. Lu Xun once said, "I have never studied divination in my life, but I have heard from the elderly that people sometimes encounter the 'Huagai' fate." This "Huagai" was probably mispronounced as "Huogai" in their mouths, and now it is corrected. Therefore, this fate is good for monks. Having Huagai on top is naturally a sign of becoming a Buddha or a patriarch. But for common people, it is not so good. Huagai on top will cover them, making them bump into obstacles. In years of research in the field of Ba Zi, it has been found that "Huagai" has a certain obvious pattern in its impact on marriage, which can be confirmed. Unfavorable composition for marriage in the Ba Zi Generally speaking, if the Huagai star appears two or more times in the Ba Zi, especially if the earth branch where Huagai is located is in conflict or mutual harm with other branches, such as: Huagai in Chou, and there is Wei in the four pillars (Chou and Wei are in conflict); or Huagai in Chen, and there is another Chen in the four pillars (Chen and Chen are self-harming). Any man or woman with such combinations in their Ba Zi often experiences late marriage, divorce, adoption, or even a life without marriage and being a widow or widower. This phenomenon has already been discussed in the definition of Huagai. Here are some examples of Ba Zis with Huagai: Example 1: Bi Cai (Secondary Wealth), Xiao Shen (Witch Spirit), Ri Zhu (Day Master), Xiao Shen (Witch Spirit) Kun Zao: Yi Chou, Ji Chou, Xin Wei, Ji Chou Shen Sha: Huagai, Huagai This person fell into the world of prostitution... The presence of two Huagaies in the Ba Zi, and the conflict with the Day Master's earth branch, caused significant obstacles in the marriage. Example 2: Pian Guan (Secondary Official), Shi Shen (Food Spirit), Ri Yuan (Day Element), Bi Jian (Sibling) Kun Zao: Geng Shen, Bing Xu, Jia Xu, Jia Zi (Shen and You are empty) Shen Sha: Huagai, Huagai This woman had a six-year relationship with her boyfriend, but eventually separated due to various factors, similar to a divorce. Example 3: Bi Jian (Sibling), Zheng Cai (Main Wealth), Ri Yuan (Day Element), Shang Guan (Injury Spirit) Kun Zao: Bing Chen, Xin Chou, Bing Xu, Ji Chou (Wu and Wei are empty) Shen Sha: Huagai, Guo Yin Gui Ren (National Seal Noble Person), Huagai, Guo Yin Gui Ren (National Seal Noble Person), Gu Chen Gua Su (Solitary Star and Widow Star), Gu Chen Gua Su (Solitary Star and Widow Star) This woman is still unmarried to this day. Example 4: Jie Cai (Robbery Wealth), Shi Shen (Food Spirit), Ri Yuan (Day Element), Jie Cai (Robbery Wealth) Qian Zao: Xin Hai, Ren Chen, Geng Chen, Xin Si Shen Sha: Huagai, Huagai This man also experienced a divorce. Example 5: Zheng Yin (Main Seal), Pian Guan (Secondary Official), Ri Yuan (Day Element), Zheng Cai (Main Wealth) Kun Zao: Geng Xu, Ji Chou, Gui Si, Bing Chen Shen Sha: Huagai, Huagai This woman once wasted many years on a man, and is still unmarried and alone.
