The Difference Between Western & Chinese Astrology
Most of us are familiar with Chinese astrology, whether it's through Bazi, Zi Wei Dou Shu, Qi Men Dun Jia, or other methods. However, Western astrology often remains shrouded in confusion for many. So, what sets these two apart? Should you lean towards Western astrology? The answer lies in your preferences. Are you drawn to a holistic understanding of life and a deeper insight into yourself? Or do you find appeal in the intricate cyclical rhythms and destiny-oriented approach of Chinese astrology?
Let's explore Western and Chinese astrology.
Comparison Chart:
| Western Astrology | Chinese Astrology | |
| Foundational Beliefs |
It's like looking in a mirror, focuses on understanding yourself better in order to make the changes you want. It's like getting into your personality and how to make the most of it. |
On the other hand, it is more like looking at a clock. It sees life as a series of cycles, like the seasons repeating, and believes your destiny is tied to these cycles. |
| Forecasting / Prediction | Yes | Yes |
| Views On Fate |
STEWARDSHIP: Believes you can steer your life like a ship, offering advice on how to navigate challenges and make the most of opportunities. In simpler terms, Western astrology is about understanding yourself and taking control of your destiny. |
ACCEPT & FLOW: Thinks of life more like a river, where you go with the flow. It's about understanding the currents and finding the best way to move forward within them. In simpler terms, Chinese astrology is more about going with the flow of life's natural rhythms and accepting where they take you, instead of you believing in yourself.

We've taken notice that in recent times, the younger generations of Chinese Metaphysicians (born in the 1980s and later) appear to be adopting less traditional approaches, moving further away from traditional Chinese astrology culture and scriptures. The reason could be due to:
With society's increased focus on mental health and wellness, some practitioners are showing interest in psychology and incorporating it into their practice. Consequently, consumers now consider factors like personal connection, compatibility, accessibility, alongside fees, when selecting their practitioners.
