Joey Yap

BaZi, also called the Four Pillars of Destiny, is a classical Chinese astrological system that maps a person's destiny and luck cycles using their birth date and time. Joey Yap is one of the most recognized educators of BaZi globally, using it to help people understand their personal energy patterns and make better-timed decisions in life and business.

The Tong Shu Power Planner is Joey Yap's flagship planning tool, available through joeyyap.com, that scores every date against a user's BaZi chart and five classical Chinese Metaphysics validation layers. The idea is to identify which days are energetically aligned for major moves and which days to avoid — bringing his complete Date Selection system into everyday use.

Date Selection is a classical Chinese Metaphysics discipline focused on choosing specific days whose energy aligns with a given activity, such as signing a contract, starting a business, or making an investment. Joey Yap makes this a central theme of his content, with videos arguing that successful people never act on random days — which is also the foundation of his Tong Shu Power Planner product.

Xuan Kong Flying Stars is a classical school of feng shui that analyzes the energy of a space using time-based directional charts rather than fixed formulas. Joey Yap covers it as a core part of his curriculum — it appears regularly in his top hashtags (#xuankong, #flyingstars) and is one of the disciplines taught through his Mastery Academy.

The Mastery Academy of Chinese Metaphysics is Joey Yap's global education organization, offering courses from beginner-level introductions through to professional certification in BaZi, Feng Shui, Xuan Kong, and Date Selection. It has trained students across dozens of countries, making it one of the largest structured programs for classical Chinese Metaphysics in the world.

Yes, Joey Yap's practice offers personal BaZi readings and on-site feng shui audits, accessible through joeyyap.com. However, a large portion of his content is deliberately aimed at teaching people to understand and apply these systems themselves, particularly through tools like the Tong Shu Power Planner.

Yes, annual forecasts are among Joey Yap's most well-known events, typically released ahead of Chinese New Year to outline the energy outlook for each of the 12 animal signs in the coming year. His caption referencing what people feel about their luck "in the year ahead" reflects how central this yearly forecast content is to his brand.

Joey Yap is one of the most prolific authors in the Chinese Metaphysics space, having written dozens of titles covering BaZi, Feng Shui, Xuan Kong Flying Stars, and Date Selection. His books are widely used by both students entering the field and working practitioners looking to deepen their knowledge.

Joey Yap is Malaysian by background and is strongly associated with Malaysia, where the Mastery Academy of Chinese Metaphysics was built and is headquartered. His platforms list Singapore as a primary base, reflecting the cross-border nature of his operations across both countries.

Chinese Metaphysics is an umbrella term for classical disciplines including BaZi (destiny analysis), Feng Shui (spatial energy auditing), Xuan Kong Flying Stars (time-cycle feng shui), and Date Selection (auspicious timing). Joey Yap covers all of these through his YouTube channel — which has grown to well over six million subscribers — as well as through live events, the Mastery Academy curriculum, and products like the Tong Shu Power Planner.
