Session 8. Alcoholism and Drug Addiction in BaZi Charts
A systematic and ethical analysis.

A workshop on identifying vulnerability to addiction through chart structure—without fearmongering or labels
The subject of addiction requires care and maturity. In this workshop, we examine which combinations of elements and structures may create elevated risks—and which factors, conversely, help maintain balance.
Importantly, a chart does not “make a diagnosis” or determine destiny. It reveals conditions and predispositions that can manifest differently depending on environment, upbringing, and personal decisions.
Our goal is to view risks calmly and professionally so that we can draw more balanced conclusions.
