The Crimson Horse and Its Impact on Fire Elements

Coming on 4th February 2026 at 4:02 am, the Year of the Horse will arrive. In BaZi terms, this will specifically be the Year of the Fire Horse, or Bing Wu (丙午).

Many masters are suggesting this will be a particularly fiery year, as Bing is Fire and the Horse also carries the Fire element. They further note that this coincides with the onset of Period 9 (九运), which is also associated with the Fire element.

Consequently, they warn that those whose BaZi charts are already strong in Fire must be very cautious.

What is the Master Alan’s view on this?

Why Manisfesting Don’t Work Always?

I got a question from my student’s friend when we bump into and over a coffee talk, he asked me this question “does manifesting work?”

Master Alan: “Why did you ask this question?”

Student’s Friend : “I have been trying but it seems it doesn’t work!”

“How long have you been trying?”

“For a couple of months and since most of my friends around me is doing this.

BaZi: The Essential Destiny Consulting Tool

I was at an office in Cyberjaya and as my prediction on the premise was in the process and fell through the accuracy, then the client asked me if I can tell which month, the crisis happened.

They were being cheeky when the senior said, let he check and see if he is accurate.

I flip open the flying star chart and told them, September!. They were awed. This is the the strength of one system, the Wu Chang 9 Star Feng Shui system that is popular commercial name, known as Flying Star.

The previous master did not know why the business did not improved after the 2nd adjustment. Well, some people like to say Flying Star is not able to tell…that’s just a naughty marketing gimmick. They just never had the privilege to learn the authentic 9 Star system of Wu Chang.

Ancient History  · Symphonic Planet  ·

The Man Who Came With Tan Sri Loh Boon Siew – But Died in Poverty.

In the early 1900s, two young men arrived in Penang from Hui’an County, Fujian, Southern China, in the same batch, both escaping poverty, both seeking a better life.

One became Tan Sri Loh Boon Siew, “Mr. Honda” – one of Penang’s wealthiest men. The other was my cousin’s father, a man with the surname T. (for privacy’s sake, I won’t reveal the surname)

He died in poverty!

Like Loh Boon Siew, Uncle T left Hui’an County, Fujian when he was only 17 years old, alone, chasing hope in a foreign land. While Loh Boon Siew built an empire, Uncle T became a trishaw rider, pedaling from morning till night, day after day, year after year.

Every evening, he’d come home exhausted. His wife, my maternal grandma’s younger sister – would have rice or broth ready with some salted fish, potatoes, or peanuts with soya sauce.

I remember watching him wallop three plates of rice with such appetite, joking with us kids, smiling through the exhaustion. A kind, jovial man, sometimes sharing food with us.

Every morning, he’d give his children 20 cents each, money earned from endless hours pedaling that trishaw under the hot sun. He raised nine children on a trishaw rider’s income.

Despite everything, Uncle T never went back to China once to see his family in Hui’an County. Why? Because he couldn’t afford it. And none of his nine children cared enough to pay for his trip!

As he grew old and sick, his children were indifferent. The daughter who took care of him was cruel and unfilial. I heard she made him crawl to get his food.

This man, who worked himself to the bone for nine children, died miserably, alone, abandoned by the very people he sacrificed everything for.

Not Every Story Ends in Success!

We love reading success stories. Rags to riches. Hard work pays off. Dreams come true. But the reality… not everyone who works hard becomes Tan Sri Loh Boon Siew.

Some work just as hard, sacrifice just as much, and die with nothing.

Uncle T came to Penang from the same county, in the same batch as a man who became a legend. But while Loh Boon Siew’s name is remembered, T’s is forgotten, except by those of us who saw his kindness, his laughter, and his endless labour.

Not all children turn out educated, successful, or grateful.

Not all hard work leads to wealth.

Not all kind hearts are rewarded.

Our Chinese diaspora stories are filled with heartbreak and stupendous sacrifices we can’t even comprehend.

A Star in a Storm: The Unfolding Ordeal of Namewee

Our story begins in the unassuming town of Muar, a place in southern Malaysia famous for the fragrant smoke of its otak-otak grills and the hum of its furniture workshops. It was here that a boy named Wee Meng Chee grew up, who would one day become the controversial and internationally known artist, Namewee.

His career has always been a dance on the edge. He built his name not in his homeland, but primarily across the sea in Taiwan, often finding himself at odds with the authorities back in Malaysia. He is no stranger to controversy, but the storm he faces now is of a different, more tragic kind.

The recent and shocking death of the beloved Taiwanese influencer, Iris Hsieh—the “Nurse Goddess”—has sent ripples of grief and speculation throughout the region. Iris was found dead at just 31, her life cut short by what appeared to be a sudden heart seizure. The tragedy took a darker turn when reports emerged that Namewee was present, and that several types of Ecstasy pills were found, with him testing positive for the drugs.

Bazi Case Study – Ji Day Master

We had a comment from one of our reader asking this question:

Listen to BaZi Tips by Master Alan himself, the founder of Nature’s Way BaZi.

How Destiny Affects Wealth: Insights from BaZi Consultation

Some years back, a client recommended someone to me for a BaZi reading.

Then when I plotted the BaZi chart, I was like “wow” this is a good chart, a rich person’s chart!.

Then on the day of consultation, she came and when I revealed to her BaZi chart and reading to her, she told me “no, I don’t have money!” and she said this a couple of times over the consultation.

I was thinking, I can’t be that wrong but if she is not co-operating, might as well we end this consultation. It is meaningless because I am not able to help her further in this way.

Cesarean Twins

Fraternal twins born in 2008 and the date for Cesarean was selected by an aunty at the time when the mother was due for a C section birth. I do not know who the aunty is and what method she uses, whether it was BaZi or Zi Wei Dou Shu method.

The end result was fraternal twins rather than a pair of identical meaning one boy and one girl. Here is the son Bazi, when the mum showed me this Bazi, I told her this is a very rebellious son and be prepared to make tough decisions. The girl will have a better life despite this BaZi. To my prediction, the mother acknowledge it as correct. Why?

This chart is already too much of fire, why did the aunty chosen this hour (Wu, 午) for the operation? This is the problem where the public will face since Bazi knowledge has so many theories or schools of thoughts.
