Questions people ask
NORTH, in plain terms.
01What does it mean to be a NORTH?
NORTH is one of the ten BAAK types, the one that knows where the line is. Straight authority. You carry the rule rather than resenting it, and you know where the edge of a thing is before anyone tests it. It's read from your month command, which is the most weighted position in the chart, and it describes how you run rather than what you're made of.
02What is NORTH like at work?
You hold the plan when the room loses it. NORTH sets the direction, so the fit is best where that's the actual job and not a side effect.
03What is NORTH like in a relationship?
Loyal and literal. You say what you mean and expect the same back.
04What is the weakness of a NORTH?
A straight line doesn't bend for people. Under pressure it shows up like this: you get rigid before you get loud.
05Is NORTH the same as my build?
No, and this is the part most tools get muddled. Your build is the stem of your birth day, which is what you're made of. NORTH is your structure, taken from the month command, and that's how you run. Two people with the same build often have completely different structures, and the structure is the one that describes a life.
06What is NORTH called in Chinese?
NORTH is BAAK's name for 正官格, read zhèng guān gé, the structure built on the 正官 star. The reading here is written in English, so the type carries an English name, and what sits under it is the structure a practitioner would name in characters.
07Is NORTH the same as a Chinese zodiac sign?
No. A zodiac animal comes from your birth year and is shared by roughly one person in twelve. NORTH comes from the structure of your whole chart, and it sits at the centre of a reading rather than at the edge of it.
