Ep 1: What BaZi Actually Is (And Why I Spent My Life Learning It)

What is BaZi (八字), and why does it work? In this first episode, I introduce myself — a divination consultant from Taipei, now based in Vienna — and share how I helped build a Chinese medicine clinic from scratch using BaZi, Feng Shui, and divination, with results that are still thriving years later.I also open the door to BaZi itself: what the eight characters are, how they're calculated from your birth, and how this system reads the pattern of a life — not fixed fate, but the shape of your energy across time.My words aren't polished. That's the point. I'm not here to sound perfect — I'm here to explain something real, until it clicks.TIMESTAMPS00:00 — Cold Open & Introduction "I don't read your fortune.
