How do I find my passion?

Passion is encoded in the Fire element and specific chart signatures. Ba Zi examines your "Hurting Officer" (傷官) star — this governs passion, creative drive, and the desire to express yourself authentically. A strong Hurting Officer indicates a person who needs to follow their passion or becomes deeply unhappy. Western Astrology looks at Mars (drive and desire), the Sun (authentic self), and the 5th house (joy and creative expression). Jyotish examines the 5th house (passion and creativity) and the Sun (soul purpose) for passion indicators. Zi Wei Dou Shu looks for 廉貞 (Integrity/Passion Star) in the Self Palace.
