Description
Life numbers & Hexagrams
The Four Pillars of Destiny method has been used to assess the direction and relationships in our lives for more than a thousand years. This book introduces the He Luo Li Shu (HLLS) method, which links the Four Pillars with the I Ching, the Chinese book of changes. The HLLS is a functional and comprehensive I Ching Divination System that is not widely known.
For the first time in English, you will be guided through the steps of the HLLS system.

Four Pillars of Destiny – Life
numbers & Hexagrams
My teacher Lily Chung has always been an exponent of the He Luo Li Shu method, which connects Bazi with the I Ching hexagrams. This information has only previously been available in Chinese. It was always her wish to have a book about the subject out in English and I am grateful to have been given the opportunity to help her fulfill this.
The book came out at the start of 2015 and it introduced our books to a new group of Western readers, i.e. those interested in the I Ching, the Book of Changes. Note that Lily had previously written Succeed Naturally, the I Ching Way in 2008, which serves as a companion book to this one.
This was also the first book that I worked with my editor Miranda van Gaalen who is based in the Netherlands. We shook hands on this while on a road trip on the Great Ocean Road in Australia after the 2014 Melbourne International Feng Shui Association Conference. Miranda pointed out that we had to be consistent with the names of the 64 I Ching Hexagrams that had been used in Lily’s previous book. So that is why some of the Hexagram names in English are very different from the traditional ones.
This was my third collaboration with Lily and it really set me on the path to write more books about Chinese Astrology as it is such a broad field with many texts in Chinese waiting to be translated into English for Western readers.
