My Four Pillars (BaZi) Chart & Essential Oils - The Five Elements

The Alchemy in My Birth Chart

After discovering my Gene Keys profile, I wanted to go deeper into understanding my soul's blueprint. I consulted my Four Pillars (BaZi) Chinese astrology chart and asked the I Ching to confirm which birth time was correct.

What emerged was stunning: my birth chart IS the process of making essential oils. Water over Fire = steam distillation. Yin Wood Rabbit = gentle precision with flowers and herbs. Double Dragon = transforming ancient wisdom into accessible teachings.

This is the story of how my Four Pillars chart reveals why I do what I do with Artemisia Aromatherapy.

🎋 The I Ching Speaks: Hexagram 45

When I wasn't certain whether I was born during Rabbit Hour (5:00-7:00 AM) or Dragon Hour (7:00-9:00 AM), I asked the I Ching:

"Which hour pillar reflects my true birth chart - Yin Wood Rabbit or Yang Fire Dragon?"

The I Ching answered with Hexagram 45: Gathering Together (萃 Cui) - Lake over Earth.

☱☷ Hexagram 45 speaks of gathering people together through gentle, magnetic attraction - not through force, but through grace. The Lake (joy, openness) rests upon Earth (receptivity, grounding).

This confirmed: I am Yin Wood Rabbit 🐰, not Yang Fire Dragon. I gather people through gentle precision, artistic beauty, and peaceful refinement - the essence of the Rabbit, not the forceful power of the Dragon.

🐰🐍🐉 My Four Pillars Chart (八字 BaZi)

Born: April 14, 1964 | 7:00 AM | Tel Aviv, Israel

Pillar	Heavenly Stem	Earthly Branch	Meaning
YEAR 年	甲 Jia Yang Wood	辰 Chen Dragon 🐉	Spiritual growth, transformation, vision
MONTH 月	戊 Wu Yang Earth	辰 Chen Dragon 🐉	Grounding wisdom, nourishment
DAY 日 ⭐	癸 Gui Yin Water	巳 Si Snake 🐍	DAY MASTER - Core Identity
HOUR 时	乙 Yi Yin Wood	卯 Mao Rabbit 🐰	Gentle precision, artistic refinement

💧🔥 Yin Water over Fire Snake: The Alchemy of Essential Oils

My Day Master is 癸 Yin Water (dew, mist, gentle rain, tears, deep wisdom) sitting on 巳 Fire Snake (kundalini fire, transformation, inner truth).

Water over Fire = STEAM DISTILLATION!

This is literally the essence of aromatherapy - water and fire coming together to create the steam that extracts essential oils from plants. My birth chart IS the process of making essential oils!

• Yin Water (癸) = Gentle, intuitive, flowing wisdom - like dew on morning flowers
• Fire Snake (巳) = Kundalini energy, passionate transformation, inner knowing
• Together = The alchemical marriage that creates aromatic medicine

🐰 Yin Wood Rabbit: Protocol 0 - Gentle Precision

My Hour Pillar is 乙卯 Yin Wood Rabbit - and this explains everything about how I work:

• Yin Wood (乙) = Flowers, herbs, vines, gentle plants (not mighty trees)
• Rabbit (卯) = Artistic, precise, peaceful, diplomatic, refined
• Together = The gentle herbs and flowers I work with, approached with artistic precision

This is my "Protocol 0 - Zero Defects" energy! The Rabbit's attention to beautiful details, the gentle precision of working with delicate plants, the peaceful refinement of aromatherapy as an art form.

🐉🐉 Double Dragon: Transformation & Vision

I have Dragon in both Year and Month pillars - this is the transformational, visionary, spiritual power that drives my work. Dragons are:

• Transformers of chaos into order
• Spiritual seekers and wisdom keepers
• Visionaries who see the bigger picture
• Teachers who illuminate ancient wisdom

The Double Dragon gives me the power to transform ancient wisdom systems (I Ching, Tarot, Kabbalah, Gene Keys) into accessible, practical aromatherapy teachings.

🎋 The I Ching's Wisdom: Hexagram 45

The I Ching confirmed my Rabbit Hour through Hexagram 45: Gathering Together. This hexagram teaches:

"The lake rises above the earth: The image of Gathering Together. Thus the superior one renews their weapons to meet the unforeseen."

This is my work with Artemisia - gathering people together through the gentle, joyful energy of aromatherapy (Lake) grounded in ancient earth wisdom (Earth). I gather students, customers, and seekers not through force, but through magnetic attraction to beauty, precision, and truth.

The traditional essential oil for Hexagram 45 is Azorean Ginger Lily - a sweet, exotic, heart-opening oil that embodies joyful gathering and unity. While I don't currently carry this oil, I honor its traditional association with this hexagram.
