Instantly Know Any Person’s Characters (3)

We have come to the third article in this Instantly Know Any Person’s Characters series. This time, we shall look at the personality of people of Gua 3.

Gua 3 – The Big Tree

Flying Star 3 belongs to the Wood element, so as Gua 3. People of Gua 3 more or less have some personal characters that resemble a big and tall tree.

Gua 3 Characteristics - Big Tree

Gua 3 People – The Advantages

Gua 3 people are usually tough and strong They could face challenges without much fear. They are usually proactive, optimistic, bright and self-confident.

Consider a tall green tree standing upright under the sunshine. It can stand the strong wind and the heat of the sun. It could also be a great shelter for other animals. So, you really can count on Gua 3 people for help.

If Gua 3 people find a goal, they would go all the way to achieve it. They could have good concentration. This character could help them to get through troubles.

Gua 3 – The Disadvantages

Same as other Guas, when there are advantages there would be disadvantages. A common problem of Gua 3 people is that they are too eager to win, so while they strive for the best result, chances are they forget what price they need to pay for it. And because they are a trunky big tree, they tend to have less flexibility when dealing with people. This could cost them a lot.

Since Gua 3 people are quite optimistic, they tend to think only the bright side of a thing. While positive thinking is usually regarded as a good thing, extremely positive thinking may make a person not sensitive to potential danger.

Gua 3 people have a tendency to think that they are great and people count on them. However, over-confidence on oneself may be a bad thing.

Finally, if a Gua 3 person is in a low tide period, i.e. having bad luck, he or she could still good. The detachment from reality may prevent him or her from responding to the changing environment.

My overall verdict is that Gua 3 people are lovable but sometimes you just cannot stand their over-confidence. They are hard wood without much flexibility.

Wonder which Gua you are of? No problem. I re-attach the following table, which I firstly posted in my article that introduces the 9 Star Ki system. Just look up this table, find your year of birth and gender, you will see your corresponding Gua.

Instantly Know Any Person’s Character (2)

Last time, we examined how to read the characters of Gua 1 people.  This time, let’s learn about people of Gua 2.

The Nature of Gua 2

Gua 2 belongs to the earth element under the Five-element Theory.  It is also a Yin (陰) element.  To visualize it, you could consider Gua 2 as flat ground.

The Characters of Gua 2 People

How would a person be if we consider him or her as a flat ground?  Firstly, the ground supports all the buildings.  So, a person of Gua 2 is usually reliable and trust-worthy.  In the context of family, Gua 2 people should be good father or mother who cares the family (as how the earth nurtures different creatures).
Gua 2 people are usually practical.  Unlike people of Gua 1, they have relatively less creative ideas.  They tend to do things step by step.
The ground could take heavy load, so Gua 2 people usually could stand hard work without much complaint.  They are considerate people.  They also tend to save rather than spend.
On the other hand, if the above advantages were driven to an extreme, they could become drawbacks.  For example, since Gua 2 people do not usually pursue new ideas, they may be too conservative.  And since they tend to save money, they may more likely be misers who are reluctant to spend.
As hard as the ground, Gua 2 people could be stubborn, inflexible and difficult to adapt to new environments.  These characteristics make them less suitable as good leaders.  Even if there is a good chance in front of them, they may be afraid to snag it.
Finally, while we say Gua 2 people usually could survive hard working environment, it could also mean that they suffer while not speaking out.  This is also why Gua 2 people may be good employees in the eyes of employers.

Tips for Gua 2 People

As I always say, there are no good or bad characters.  Although we say there are drawbacks, Gua 2 people could turn them into advantages.  The key is you need to know how to maximize the use of these characteristics to produce favourable results.
Gua 2 people must not forget that they are linked to the earth and ground.  In the context of investment, it means that they have a relatively higher chance of achieving gain by investing in real estates.  This matches the characteristics of Gua 2 people, as they tend to save.  They do not like the volatility of the stock market, so it is good that they save money and invest in real estates.  Certainly, any kind of investment requires good sense, smart decision and luck.  Please do not think that Gua 2 people must always win in the real estate market.
If you cannot remember who are Gua 2 people, please read my Introduction to 9 Star Ki article.  Next time, we shall talk about the characters of Gua 3 people.
