While we can't endorse specific products, here's the general landscape:
Books (English):
- Look for introductory texts by authors like Joey Yap, Jerry King, or Lily Chung
- Start with "BaZi for Beginners" type books that focus on the 10 Day Masters and basic chart reading
- Avoid advanced texts on special structures until you've mastered the basics
Online Courses:
- Many reputable teachers offer self-paced video courses
- Look for curricula that start with Five Elements theory, then Stems/Branches, then 10 Gods, then Luck Cycles
- A good beginner course should be 20–40 hours of content
Free Resources:
- YouTube channels by qualified practitioners
- BaZi blogs and forums where you can ask questions
- Our website's free knowledge base (you're reading it!)
Start with understanding your own chart thoroughly. It's the best textbook you'll ever have.
