About ISZN — The International Society of ZiWei Numerology

The International Society of ZiWei Numerology (ISZN) is a legally established institution in Taiwan dedicated to teaching, preserving, and modernizing the ancient system of Imperial Astrology, also known as Zi Wei Dou Shu.
Today, ISZN is the largest Zi Wei Dou Shu teaching organization in the world, with a global network of students across multiple countries and cultural backgrounds.

As the President of the ISZN California Chapter, I work directly with the Taiwan headquarters to help extend this lineage internationally—supporting overseas students, maintaining teaching standards, and making Zi Wei Dou Shu more accessible to English-speaking practitioners.

This structured curriculum helps beginners build confidence while giving advanced learners the depth needed for accurate, insightful readings.

Founder & Chief Instructor: Master Da Geng (大耕老師)

The strength of ISZN’s teaching tradition comes from its founder and chief instructor, Master Da Geng, who has devoted decades to the study and application of Zi Wei Dou Shu.

A Lifelong Journey in Zi Wei Dou Shu

Master Da Geng began his studies at age twenty under a respected metaphysics consultant for publicly listed companies in Taiwan. Over the years, he applied Zi Wei Dou Shu to guide family businesses and private enterprises—helping them identify opportunities, avoid risks, and build strategic advantages.

Initially, he offered readings only to select groups. At age forty, inspired by a prominent Buddhist esoteric master, he chose to share this ancient knowledge more widely and committed himself fully to teaching.
