How to find love through Chinese astrology and zodiac aura readings
A Hong Kong-based Chinese astrologer and an intuitive reader explain how they use birth chart and aura readings to help people find partners
From Chinese farmers who prayed for good weather for their crops, to ancient Greek thinkers who gazed upon the stars to seek answers, astrology – and fortune-telling – have long existed to provide a sense of security, especially in times of doubt and uncertainty.
And what can be more capricious than love itself?
Kelly Chen Jiali, a Hong Kong-based Chinese astrologer and content creator, and Pearlyn Siew, a Singapore-based intuitive reader, turn to the cosmos, and social media, to help others navigate the potentially treacherous terrain of relationships.
Chen has published videos with titles such as How likely is your man to cheat (using ba-zi), Picking your partner using ba-zi and Understanding your spouse palace on Instagram. Her most popular video has garnered more than 31,400 views.
Her astrology practice and content creation on compatibility in lovers is based on the ancient concept of ba zi, known in English as the “four pillars of destiny”. Akin to Western astrology’s birth chart readings, ba zi is the study of how a person’s birth year, month, day and hour can influence their fate and destiny.
Dating back to China’s Han dynasty (202BC to AD220), it is also widely used in Japan, Vietnam and South Korea, where it is more commonly called saju, meaning “four pillars”.
