Look my friend... Everything in this world is energy. All that we live in, whether it is determined to be wonderful or painful by your ego, is the most perfect pursuit of energies.
All energy seeks balance. There is the greatest order in the Universe. Even when you experience betrayal, loss, anger...
Look at this picture! Have you ever wondered how a huge mountain and the clouds above do their sweet dance? They play hide-and-seek, like toddlers in playground. Babbling mischievously and coquettishly, as the cloud caresses the rock's lace? When the clouds shuffle away, the mountain already misses it. The mountain stretches for her, till on a misty dawn they may touch each other again. I can almost feel her tickling touch, if I were a rock. The mountain's blanket is the cloud, helping to hide its secrets. The peak of the mountain reaches the level of the cloud, and what a sense of shared love and unity do they form? So is happy the mountain.
Or... Look at this tree!
Have you ever wondered how easy it is for a tree to love the earth? It doesn't need self-knowledge, it doesn't need to learn, it's a balance of energies, a combination of energies. The Tree grows, develops, soars, to one day bear fruit, to branch. The mother earth feeds it with its deep-pressed treasures, its minerals, unnoticed. The roots of the tree secretly reach deep for the treasures of the earth. What a close relationship, what a symbiosis! The earth does not need to be taught or explained what to do, it simply lives, nourishes, and thus its program and function is fulfilled. This is how the Earth is happy Nourished, growing tall, so happy is the Tree. But what do you think a tree goes through when an axe is chopped into it?
That's how we humans work. All of our life events, our family backgrounds, our material well-being, our difficulties, our stumbles, our knowledge, all of our human relationships are a game of our energy package and the energies that meet it. Each person has a particular energy pattern that is unique to them.
I have always been fascinated by Nature's phenomena, and I had a feeling that it was not "created" as a miracle by chance. However, when I was introduced to BAZI astrology, the Chinese 4- Pillars of destiny, everything fell into place. Until the age of 34, I had only a faint clue (and strong intuition, of course) as to why things happened the way they did.
Because you can grow pineapples in winter, at minus 10 degrees, in a heated foil tent. But the energy invested will be more than you could ever sell that pineapple for most profit! There are some things our ego stubbornly believes, and we have to realize that there is a timing for everything. Just as you need the right climate for growing, there is a supported sequence to the big issues of your life; relationship, letting go, having children, lovers, empire building, career leap etc. Our Chinese radix provides invaluable information for this timing. We don't use it to make predictions, we just see what is and isn't the right timing. We see the main lessons to be learned, with the programmes we have set, with our gut reaction. We see our main energy pull, whether the alpha and omega of this life is the task of respecting the law or whether it is our self-study. Or is the focus to become housewives and raising children?
Have you ever wondered why it is that around certain people you feel relaxed, hopeful, laughing, your eyes sparkling? And when you meet other people, you can't even drag yourself away from the heavy burden of life? No! The solution is not to be angry with that person. It's simply the way the energies lead you down the path from balance. Energies bind together, they like to form a bond with each other. If they can't bond, they bounce off each other. Yes, we tend to have a hard time with these bounces, in astrological terms, we get into opposition. Becoming an astrologer was the most rewarding task of my life. To get a guide and understanding of how people behave. With this knowledge, one no longer gets into arguments, one no longer judges, for how can fire argue with water? If you were a fire, would you enter into this argument with water, with all the knowledge? Why is it that your great love disappears by years and replaced by someone who is not as he was before? Nothing is constant but change. Our energy package is given, but the transits of the energies that affect us are in constant flux. We live in fundamental laws. There are life situations, games that are predetermined. The only choice you have is whether you experience a high or a low state. The high is an inviting wonder, the low is a hell of a pain.
Based on the 5 Element theory, Chinese 4 pillars of destiny will show you which elements are missing, which elements are in the majority, why you behave the way you do, and what you need to achieve balance. Every person is the essence of these 5 elements.
If I could, I would make it compulsory in all schools to teach about Day Masters, the cycle of elements on which our world is based. By playing, the next generation could learn the why of their human relationships, and by understanding it, everyone's life would become easier. As John Lennon sang, "You may say, I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one"...
It's my honour to empower people with the knowledge that life and my own curiosity (and my abundance of water elements) have blessed me. Self-knowledge is one of life's greatest gifts, and it gives you a map of life's roads. Dare to know your strengths and weaknesses, and build on the success of your strengths for a brighter tomorrow.
With much love,
Suzanna Mester
