Why can fate be predicted?

To answer why fate can be predicted, the actual question is actually where fate comes from and is determined by. In terms of traditional Eastern numerology, numerology is one of the evolutionary and developmental results of ancient astronomy.
In ancient times, astronomy was very developed, and people observed the movement patterns of celestial bodies and the Earth itself early on. Therefore, the celestial trunk was used to represent the state of the sky, and the earth branch was used to represent the state of the earth. It is not a coincidence to name the planets closest to Earth with the names of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth. The minimum common multiple of the orbits of these five planets around the Sun is 60 years, which is the origin of the 60th generation. Among them, Jupiter has the largest mass and has the greatest impact on the Earth’s magnetic field. Its orbit is 12 years, which is the origin of the Twelve Earthly Branches (zodiac signs).
Taking the system of the Eight Characters as an example, the time of birth recorded by the Eight Characters is a certain scale on the timeline represented by the Gan Zhi Nian method, which is a combination of the Four Heavenly Stems of the Year Month Day Hour and the Four Earthly Branches of the Year Month Day Hour.
For example, on March 31, 2023 at 14:00, the Gan Zhi method is used to record the energy distribution status of the day and the earth at a certain time and moment. So the person born at this moment is born with the cosmic energy of this moment, naturally imprinted with the cosmic energy state at this moment. The life information of each person is hidden in the eight words that record their energy state.
The above is the logical basis for predicting fate. Taking the Four Pillars and Eight Characters as an example, the essence of predicting fate is actually the calculation of the operating state of celestial bodies. The so-called Eight Characters fortune telling is actually the interpretation of the interaction between the energy state represented by the Eight Characters of the Destiny Master and the energy state at each moment.
To put it in the simplest terms, after sorting out your BaZi, analyze the energy of the Five Elements and find that you prefer wood and avoid soil. Then, compare the energy characteristics of each year, and the year of the Wood element (roughly understood as the year when Jupiter moves closer to Earth) will cut off your good luck, and the year of the Earth element will cut off your bad luck. The specific auspicious or inauspicious factors reflected in emotions, wealth, and health need to be analyzed specifically based on the BaZi.
