Zi Wei Dou Shou was the Emperor's Stargate

Zi Wei Dou Shu is one of ancient China's many divinatory schools - so accurate that it has yet not to astound anyone who has had her life's secrets unlocked using this method. The characters 'Zi Wei' - the Emperor - is also the major star of this 114+ constellation. And 'Dou Shu' - the stars' positions or calculations, and hence, the StarGate that unlocks destiny.
How exactly this method came about or who invented the Stargate charts and tables is entirely lost. All that is known is that a metaphysical blueprint was provided and when this blueprint was overlaid on a person's Year, Month, Date and Hour of Birth - her/ his entire life is detailed and precisely told.
The Emperor's Stargate is an intricate calculation system that leads one to build an extremely accurate birth chart. Based on this chart, the whole life is laid out, read and understood and thus, we are guided to be the best that we can be.
Anyone who knows his/ her exact time of birth can successfully use the Emperor's Stargate. It is not necessary that the local time of birth be converted back to China's time. This is where Stargate deviates from being purely mathematical and converge into the esoteric. GMT time differences have no bearing on Stargate's ancient charts and tables that are still being used to draw up every birth chart. Provided that the exact birth time is known, it does not matter whether you were born in the U.S.A. or China. Using the local birth time, one always comes up with the most astoundingly accurate reading of the chart. The reader or master can then find out highly detailed information on the life of the person.
The crucial point lies in the interpreter's skills in integrating star combinations and meanings. It is a skill that can be learned, provided the teacher is there, and the student is ready and willing.

It is enough for the Stargate practitioner to understand the essence of what the divination signs are saying. Very often, the reader or practitioner will find astounding accuracy - a physical happening that is precisely detailed. At other times, looking for its divinatory meaning - the answers are always there. It is within the Stargate's capacity to warn or give the go-ahead signal, giving details in  very clear terms where the danger/ opportunity lies. Are we not using this ancient system to its fullest potential already? 

Something About I-Ching

The I-Ching probably goes on the shelf marked 'The Oldest Book on Earth.' The Chinese character "Yi" is made up of two characters - sun and moon - symbolizing the universal law of constant change from night to day, summer to winter, life to death. Because of this, the I-Ching is also called the Book of Change.

Its composition was an on-going effort spanning many centuries. It was ancient China's protocol to attribute important inventions and authorships to its emperors. In line with this practice, the authorship of the I-Ching was attributed to Fu Hsi, the legendary ruler of China around 3,000 B.C. It was said he was intrigued by the eight trigrams on the shell of a tortoise that he found. These eight trigrams form the backbone of the 64 hexagrams which make up the I-Ching.

The 64 hexagrams, being individual combinations of lines and dashes, (solid: male or yang; broken: female or yin) represent situations or 'codes' to the world of commerce, politics, family and social affairs which are inextricably tied up with the elemental forces. King Wen of the State of Chau wrote 64 short paragraphs explaining each of the hexagrams. Since then, many distinguished philosophers including Confucius had added commentaries. Eventually, the I-Ching became a collection of wisdom, philosophy, fine poetry, as well as divination.
 
The introduction of the I-Ching to the West began during the 18th century, but only became widely known through the translation work of the German Christian, Richard Wilhelm. Wilhelm was a missionary and made it his task to translate the I-Ching whilst preaching in China. His work was later rendered into English in 1950 by Cary F. Baynes for which a foreword was written by the prominent Swiss analytical psychologist, Carl Jung.

The I-Ching works by applying the meanings of the images of the drawn cards to predict the future. The story goes that many past Chinese leaders including Mao Zedong, Chiang Kai Shek and the Nobel physicist Dr. Yeung Zhen Lin, have used the I-Ching. It is also interesting to observe that the binary system of '0' and '1' that form the basis of modern computer technology, is very similar to the Yin-Yang theory, the basic principle of the I-Ching.



 
TIPS ON ICHING-TAROT CONSULTATION

An open mind
is pre-requisite for tapping into the wisdom of this ancient art. The I-Ching does not give a 'yes or no' answer. As with any advice, do not let it dictate your actions or run your life. Listen to its suggestions. Be open and the images will put you in touch with your inner-self and thereby guide you to the best course of action to take.

The I-Ching guides us to be who we are - 'the enlightened ones' - who is moral, righteous, honest, good and kind to all living things. Hence, the advice it gives is of the highest order to put us on the path of greatest personal growth. The I-Ching does not encourage otherwise.
The I-Ching suggests and teaches. Ambiguous questions should be avoided, for example: "What will happen to me?" or "Will I be rich?" The inquirer needs to be more specific. Also, questions phrased precisely, for example: "How will it affect me if I took on this new job?" will get more concise answers. With some questions, one may apply a time factor, for example: "How will my relationship with him/ her develop over the next three months?" The I-Ching works on a very deep level and the enquirer has be prepared to be mindful during its consultation. Only thus will the answer(s) be revealed.

Master Albert Cheung's 6K Success Principles

About Master Albert Cheung of Hong Kong

Master Albert Cheung is a scholar and teacher on the subject of Chinese Metaphysics. His interest in the subject dates back to early school days when he discovered that scientific phenomena go much deeper than causality: the day to day cause and effect of things in life. Because of his passion and keen interest in the subject of Chinese ancient wisdom and culture, he has made it a lifetime mission in sharing, promoting and spreading various applicable subjects like the I-Ching, Astrology, the Art of War, and Feng Shui in the form of simple tools to be easily applied in our everyday life.

To share his knowledge and skills on the subjects with the world, he has created and designed a wide range of useful tools, including books: the I-Ching tarot, the I-Ching pictorial guide, the Strategy and Tactics (card and book set), and the Emperor’s Stargate. In 2002, Master Albert was awarded the Innovative Entrepreneur Award (by the Junior Chamber of commerce) for his innovative design of the I-Ching Tarot (innovative creation of the 64 I-Ching pictures on tarot cards as a tool of divination as well as inspiration and enlightenment).

He is currently a visiting lecturer at the Hong Kong Polytechnic University, a Chinese University teaching subjects on I-Ching, the Art of War, Astrology and Creativity Methods. He also writes articles for magazines, periodicals and is frequently interviewed on television for prediction of events and views on things in the aspect of Chinese acient wisdom.
