Chinese calendar is mainly known for farmers or called as “Hissa” Calendar. It is a good method for prediction of a person’s fate. In this calendar chart of Day, month, year and hour information is drawn with the five elements in Feng Shui – namely water, wood, fire, earth and metal. It means that we can easily know which element is associated with a specific hour, day, month or year. Our English calendar does not provide us with any such information.

Fengshui has a cycle of 60 years. Accordingly the elements repeat their positions after 60 years. For e.g. in 1942 we have seen World War II and the attack on Pearl Harbour. At that time the fire element was on water. A similar position was seen in 2002 when the World Trade Center was attacked. This was the year when war against terrorism was declared.

The energy in Feng shui changes every year and hence it is necessary to periodically check the positive and negative energy. Year 2002 had water and fire elements and hence there was a possibility of war and it was predicted in Taiwan, China and the Middle East. 2002 was a Horse year having negative energy i.e. five yellows in the east. This meant that there would be many obstacles, accidents and bad news in that year. 2003 was the year of the sheep and was predicted to be marginally better than 2002 as it had earth and water elements which were not opposing each other too much.

Every Indian knows who Dhirubhai Ambani is. Born to a teacher in a small village Chorwad, from a very middle class family, the success he tasted is nothing short of a miracle. The success of this stature has to have destiny along with hard work. We will use the Feng Shui’s pillars of Destiny to find out his destiny. The pillars at his birth were as follows

This chart can be drawn as follows

We have to use the branches Heavenly Stem and Earthly Branch. We are using Earthly branches for the readers.

It can be seen that the water element is Dhirubhai Ambani’s self-element and is in abundance. To analyse any chart it is necessary that we understand the strength of the elements. The pie chart of Dhirubhai Ambani can be seen below and it looks eerily similar to the Reliance Group monogram. The elements which are helpful are called Favourable God and those which are not are called annoying God. The elements which help the Favourable God / element are called useful God / element. In Dhirubhai Ambani’s birth chart fire and earth are useful elements.

We say that a certain person has achieved success when he starts with a modest life and goes on to become super rich. This is exactly what happened with Dhirubhai Ambani. We can see that his month pillar has water element in both the Heavenly Stem and the Earthly Branch which is not good for him. This indicates a poor childhood or parents having low income. We can also see water element in the year pillar which means that his forefathers were also not very well to do. Now we will see how his destiny shaped. We will study the Four Pillars in every decade of his life.

The above chart is represented in elements as follows

The above chart shows that his favourable and useful elements fire and earth are in his fourth decade i.e. from age 32-41 and that is when he will taste success. India Today, 8 July 2002 edition shows that he started Reliance Textile with a capital 0f 15 lacs in 1966. He was 34 at that time. Before this he really had to struggle very hard and this can be seen from the pillars of his first 3 decades. His pillars has wood element from ages 12-31 which indicated hard work. His birth element is water and the wood element shows his creativity. It can also be questioned that if he was to achieve success at the age of 32 i.e. in 1964 than how was Reliance Textiles formed in 1966. This question can be answered through Feng Shui. Every year has 2 elements – Heavenly Stem & Earthly Branch. If both these elements are favourable then that year is extremely good for that person. In 1966 both these elements were fire elements which were favourable for him.

We will again have a look at his decade chart

What do these pillars show? They show that there are only 2 elements in the chart and they were extremely favourable for Dhirubhai Ambani. Hence this phase gave him immense success and fame. It should also be noted that his birth element is water; fire gave him financial success while earth gave him power hence he could build such an large empire.

A Decade of Blazing Growth

Many times readers ask advice as to which business should he start, or which career should be chosen etc. It is therefore necessary to also check whether Dhirubhai Ambani had chosen a business which would give him such a grand success. Let’s find out through Feng Shui. His birth element is water and fire and earth are his favourable elements. So anything related to fire would give him success. Petrochemicals, oil, gas and power are businesses which are associated with Fire element. Hence his destiny and his right choice for business paved his way to success.
