Birth Time Verification

Selected the 8th hour (Gengchen). The Day Master Yi Wood is relatively weak in the Chou month; the month-top Bing Fire acts as the Hurting Officer, indicating early academic cleverness and abilities in writing and technical expression, aligning with finishing studies early and gaining fame through writings. The hour stem Geng is the Direct Officer, and the hour branch Chen contains Direct Wealth, forming a pattern of Hurting Officer nurturing talent, with Direct Officer and Wealth in tandem. This pattern yields both innovative expression and recognition by social systems and reputation, fitting for dual roles as corporate chairman, NPC representative, and government advisor. Compared with other hours, Wu Yin emphasizes entrepreneurship via 偏財 (non-official wealth) but with less official recognition; Xin Si’s Seven Killings is too aggressive and prone to conflicts; Ren Wu’s Pi Yin leans more toward a scholarly persona and is not as well suited as Gengchen for business operations and public influence. Choosing Gengchen best explains his journey from a technical prodigy to a corporate leader and public figure, and the opportunities in the major fortune cycles.

Core Analysis

Lei Jun's natal chart centers on 乙日主 (Yi wood) born in 乙丑 with supporting stems and branches that form a classic 伤官配印 pattern. The presence of 丙子 (hurt officer / creative expression) and hidden supportive elements (癸 in 丑 and 子) supply nourishment and ideation for a flexible, innovative temperament. This explains his early technical brilliance and literary output in software.

Metal elements such as 庚辰 and 酉 introduce control and cutting force (authority and challenge). The mix of 偏财 and 七杀 signals appetite for business risk and decisive action, while 正官/正财成分带来社会责任与回报结构—matching his shift from software to large-scale industrial leadership at Xiaomi.

Major 大运 phases align with life milestones: entry into industry during the supportive 癸酉 and growth during 壬申, aggressive expansion and public offering during the 辛未/七杀 phase, and a reputation/stability emphasis coming with 庚午/正官. Overall the chart combines creative initiative (伤官) with resource support (偏印), producing sustained entrepreneurship tempered by regulatory and market discipline.

Traits

1

Entrepreneurial Drive

Chart basis: strong presence of 偏财 (year/hidden) and 七杀 factors gives high tolerance for commercial risk. The 乙日主 energized by 伤官 (丙子) indicates constant idea generation and willingness to act.

2

Strategic Vision

Chart basis: 偏印 and repeated resource-supporting stems (癸 in 子丑, 壬申大运) cultivate learning and strategic synthesis. The interaction of 正官 (时柱庚辰) with resource stars supports disciplined long-term planning.

3

Resilience & Adaptability

Chart basis: alternating supportive 大运 cycles (癸酉 → 壬申 → 辛未) provide phases of recovery and expansion. The soft 乙 wood nature plus hidden roots in 丑 allow flexibility under stress.

4

Leadership & Authority

Chart basis: presence of 正官 (庚辰) and 七杀/偏财 mixtures grants commanding presence and competitive drive. Tension between 正官 and 七杀 requires conscious balance to avoid overly authoritarian patterns.

Top of the Class: Years of Hard Study Lead to Admission at Wuhan University

Lei Jun entered Wuhan University's Computer Science program with outstanding grades, marking a major turning point in his life and laying a solid academic foundation for his future tech career.

Analysis
This year is the Ding-Mao annual fortune where the Eating God represents wisdom and academics; its prominence signals a peak in study and examination success. Mao Wood shows peers and competition. The year’s Mao Wood and the major cycle's Xu Earth combine to form Fire, making Fire the chart's favorable element and greatly boosting the Eating God energy, sharpening thinking and learning, helping him stand out in competition. The Mao Wood also functions as the Lu Shen (Prosperity Star), and with Fortunate Star and Heavenly Official Star present, academics tend to go smoothly with helpful mentors and opportunities. Although the year's clash with You Metal (Seven Killings) brings changes and pressure, this is the crucial leap toward success. The Jia-Xu fortune cycle provides a stable base for wealth and supports academic achievement.

Surfing the Sea of Learning: Two Years to Complete Four Years of Study

Lei Jun, with remarkable efficiency, completed all four years of Wuhan University's Computer Science program in two years, earning a Bachelor of Science degree ahead of schedule and finishing his graduation project.

Analysis
This year is the late Jia-Xu major luck cycle; Xu is a wealth element and a favorable deity for the day master Yi Wood, indicating a solid base of talent and wealth. The annual Geng Wu year (Geng Metal Zheng Guan) aligns with Yi Mu to form a 'Guan' (official) resonance, signaling career opportunities and official recognition, especially beneficial for studies and job hunting. The annual Wu Fire acts as Eating God; with Xu in the cycle, it forms a partial Fire pattern, greatly boosting Fire energy, representing wisdom, talent, and quick insight. The annual Wen Chang and Noble Star appear, leading to outstanding academic performance and rapid breakthroughs. The presence of Tai Ji Noble Person and Huagai stars in the chart grants exceptional focus and learning gifts. Overall, an excellent combination of official support aligning with me, Eating God shining, and benefactors assisting, leading to remarkable academic achievement.

Entering the Official Arena: Beginning a Life Chapter Inside the System

Lei Jun, after graduating from Wuhan University, was assigned to work at the Beijing Telemetry Technology Research Institute, under the Beijing Space Administration, officially stepping into society and starting his career.

Analysis
This year marks the last year of the Jia-Xu big luck cycle. Xu Earth represents wealth and is a favorable deity (the use of wealth). It lays a foundation for career and wealth. The annual Xin Wei reveals the Seven Killings star, indicating career matters and government institutions. The key point is that the year and the day pillar乙丑 form a heavenly clash and earthly conflict (乙辛冲, 丑未冲), and together with the major cycle, there are three punishments (Chou-Xi Wei). Such intense clashes signal a significant turning point in life, often corresponding to job changes and environmental relocation. Although Seven Killings clashes bring pressure, they also signal opportunities and challenges; they break into the day pillar's wealth treasury, meaning leaving the old environment and entering a new platform (within the system's research institutes). Meanwhile, 未土 is wealth and a favorable deity, indicating this job can provide a stable financial base.

Kingsoft Sets Sail: The Sixth Employee's Legendary Prologue

After interning in Kingsoft's Zhuhai R&D department, Lei Jun formally joined Kingsoft Software as the company's sixth employee, kicking off his legendary software career.

Analysis
This year falls in the Xinwei year and, together with the Day Pillar Yi-Chou, forms heavenly- and earthly-clashes, signaling a major turning point in life—change, breaking the old and establishing the new. The year's earthly branch Wei represents partial wealth and aligns with the chart's favorable Earth element, indicating new wealth and a platform for the career. At the same time, the year interacts with the ten-year cycle and the day pillar to form the Three Penalties (Chou-Xu-Wei), which strike at the day pillar's foundation, bringing pressure and challenges but also awakening inner transformative energy. The chart favors Zheng Guan as the beneficial deity; the year's heavenly stem reveals Seven Killings, which, though stressful, is tempered by the ten-year cycle Gui You as Pi Yin, which can transform the killing into life, forming the Guan-Yin synergy. This move to join Kingsoft is precisely an expression of breaking the old and establishing the new, with the favorable element taking root, laying the first cornerstone for the future empire.

Steering Kingsoft: Launching the Software Empire

Lei Jun founded Beijing Kingsoft Software Co., Ltd. and served as General Manager, officially taking the helm and launching his entrepreneurial and leadership career in the software industry.

Analysis
That year the subject was in the GuiYou Pi Yin major luck; the ten-year cycle's earthly branch You self-punishes against the year pillar, signaling inner conflict yet refining his resolve. The year's stem Jia Wood forms a mutual 'wealth' connection with the year's stem Ji Earth, signaling a strong signal for obtaining resources and seizing opportunities in his career. The year's earthly branch Xu Earth represents 'regular wealth', indicating a solid career foundation capable of bearing wealth and responsibilities. At the same time, the 'General Star' of the ten-year cycle is awakened, symbolizing the formal emergence and display of leadership talent. The natal pattern's 'Official and Seal mutually generating' is echoed this year: the Seal star (Gui Water) nourishes the Day Master, while the Official star (Geng Metal) constrains actions, enabling him to lead a startup with sharp insight and clear strategic discipline.

Pangu Crashes; the Hero Goes into Hiding

Because the lead of the 'Pangu Components' project failed, the company faced a crisis; Lei Jun voluntarily offered his resignation and began a six-month leave of absence to rest and reflect.

Analysis
That year, Lei Jun was in the GuiYou Pi Yin major luck, with the ten-year cycle's You Metal Seven Killings clashing against the year pillar's You, and forming a self-punishment between You-You, plus the Zi-You clash of the month pillar, creating a situation where Official and Killing energies are mixed and the Yin star is compromised, signaling heavy career pressure, inner conflict, and possible disputes. The flow year Bing Zi features a 'Hurt Officer' energy against the Official, signaling setbacks and clashes with leaders or rules. At the same time, Zi water Pi Yin plus the '伏吟' month pillar intensify inner worry; along with the ten-year cycle You-Zi clash, it strengthens the 'Pi Yin takes resources' (talents and projects) phenomenon, leading the 'Pangu' project to suffer a setback. Under multiple pressures, resigning and resting becomes a natural adjustment.

FAQ

How does Lei Jun's BaZi explain his rapid rise in technology and business?
His 乙日主 energized by 伤官 (creative star) and supported by 偏印/癸 provides idea-generation and learning ability. Combined with 偏财/七杀 risk appetite and timely 大运 phases, this enabled rapid execution and growth.
Which luck periods corresponded to Lei Jun's major career milestones?
Early industry entry aligns with the supportive 癸酉 cycle (1992–2001). Xiaomi's founding and scale-up match the 壬申 to 辛未 transition (2002–2021) where imprint and aggressive stars fueled expansion and IPO timing.
Does his chart favor long-term stability or short bursts of success?
The chart balances both: 伤官配印 creates recurring innovation cycles while 正官/正财 elements anchor reputation and sustained income. Stability emerges when resource stars (印) and 官星协同工作.
What personal challenges should he watch for according to BaZi?
Metal dominance and 七杀 peaks can create external friction—team conflict, regulatory pressure or health stress. Maintaining supportive resources (印) and delegation reduces burnout risk.
How optimistic is the outlook for the next decade?
Current 庚午 (2022–2031, 正官) 大运 emphasizes reputation consolidation and responsibility. If balanced with resource support and risk management, it favors steady institutionalization and legacy building rather than rapid speculative expansion.
