4 Pillars of Destiny

With your Year, Month, Day, Hour and place of birth, we create a chart reflecting the energies present at your first breath.  This chart reveals inherent traits and characteristics of your personality.  It also indicates influences you will experience in regards to family, friends, spouse, marriage, etc.  A map will be drawn that shows special 10 year cycles a person will experience throughout their life as well as annual influences and fluctuations. 

While the chart tells you potentials, it does not tell you absolutes.  It shows what you might come up against in your life but, only you can dictate how you respond to the influences.  The chart will indicate imbalances in a person and by knowing what the imbalance is, you discover what types of activities will help harmonize your life and bring balance.  This is a useful tool when making decisions, starting careers, finding hobbies or environments to live in (Feng Shui), etc.  The chart also reveals important information for relationship (family, friends and professional) assistance.
