Astrology for Southern Hemisphere

From this it comes that Four Pillars of Destiny follows the same method for building a chart for both hemispheres, because the earth magnetic poles serve the entire planet  and there is no difference between hemispheres in their relationship between the earth and sun, the planets or constellations.

Although climate, seasons, weather and temperature play a role of importance in Four Pillars, these are not used to determine a person’s Four Pillars chart.
Seasons will affect the strength and weakness of the elements in a person’s chart.

Any Fire in a chart for a person born in July will be found in the same positions in the Four Pillars chart, but the Fire for a person born on the Northern hemisphere will be stronger (because of Northern Summer) and the Fire for a person born on the Southern hemisphere will be weaker (because Southern Winter).

We define four realities in measuring a year, i.e. Spring Equinox, Summer Solstice, Autumn Equinox and Winter Solstice. These phenomenon are equally observable from both Northern and Southern hemisphere.

For Feng Shui, Nine Star Ki and Four Pillars of Destiny purposes, we should however from hereon change these to read March Equinox, June Solstice, September Equinox and December Solstice.

We saw a lot of misconceptions arise during the past twenty five years in Chinese metaphysical systems, when westerners – convinced, no doubt, that they found a loophole in Chinese observation of Time and Space dynamics – thought they should make up for these wrong doings and come up with a system that would close the gates of truth.

They mistakenly focussed on the seasons in assessing the start of a year, not realizing that there is only one observation to define the start of a year.
Before we get to that, these practitioners - building further upon their first assumption of course -, then mixed up Earthly Branches and mistook them with the Chinese Animals.
We all know that February is the Yin Month and Yin does not mean Tiger.
March is the Mao month, but Mao does not mean Rabbit.
