“Give a man a fish and he’ll eat it for a day. Teach him to fish and he’ll eat for a lifetime.”
Teaching a man how to catch a fish begins with making a fishing pole that comes with a line, hook, and bait. Together, the rod, line, hook, and bait allow you to catch a fish. How good you are at catching a fish or, for that matter, how successful you are in life depends on the resources you have.
Metaphorically, the rod represents the support you have, the line represents your strength of character, and the hook and bait is your production or creative ability.
Resources are given to us in the form of our character and ability. These are the two most important trades that we can develop to succeed in life. Our character can be a force for good or evil, and from it we can use our capacity for good or evil. The life we live is born out of the dynamic interplay between our character and ability. It is a well known fact that our character and ability are largely determined by our genes. As such, can we choose to live our lives based on our genetic predisposition?
According to Chinese astrology, the answer is yes! In the field of Chinese Metaphysics, there is a branch of Chinese Astrology known as the Four Pillars of Fate (Ba Zi) which charts a person’s life path from the cradle to the grave. The pillars represent the year, month, day and hour of birth. Within these four pillars are the heavenly stems and the earthly branches. The stems and branches are composed of the five elements and the twelve animal signs.
Our character and ability are read from the four pillars that contain our genetic codes. However, not all traits we are born with are carved in stone. We can alter some of our inborn traits in the early years of childhood through the help and support of our parents. They can make us responsible and capable adults by instilling good values and providing a solid education. However, this is not in our control and a lot depends on our parents. For this, we live it to luck and the four pillars of destiny, especially the pillar of the year that represents our childhood. As such, the pillar of the year is pivotal in terms of our destiny because this is where it begins.
As for the rest of the three pillars, we can rely on free will to pave the way for our success. This is where the fishing expedition begins. Our parents can give us the resources or we can push ourselves to be resourceful on our own, difficult as it is, but not impossible, as many rags to rich stories validate. Luck also plays a part when we meet useful people along the way. Timing is the other factor that is crucial. This is when we need to take the right action at the right time.
We can choose the pond to catch the fish and the right time is not when we are hungry. As long as we are opportunistic and ready with our fishing equipment, timing will always work in our favor. In terms of marketing, we always provide customers with what they need to secure sales. In this sense, knowing where to fish (the market) and how to formulate the strategy (the hook) and what to offer (the bait) requires company resources (the fishing rod), the strength of character of the seller in terms of determination. and the persistence (fishing line) and the creative ability and production of the seller (hook and bait).
Here’s a tip. If you want to know which element is good for sale, you just need to look at the fire element in your natal chart. If it is favorable for you and has the right strength, you can be successful in selling. And by analyzing the four pillars of destiny in detail, we can tell the person’s character and ability through the elements and animal signs and whether he or she can catch a fish for life.
