路易·B·梅耶

That year the subject was only 3 years old, still in the Ren-Shen major luck cycle. The major luck's earthly branches Shen align with the birth year's Shen and the hour's Chen to form the Shen-Zi-Chen water trine, a powerful water energy that is unfavorable for the chart. Water governs movement and change; this energy strongly prompts migration and a change of environment. The annual pillar Ding-Hai has Hai water as the 'rob wealth' energy, and together with the year pillar Shen (metal) forming Shen-Hai mutual harm, this is Tai Sui harm, indicating environmental changes and obstacles to favorable outcomes. Meanwhile, the Hai water of the year also forms self-punishment with the day pillar Hai, and the heavenly stem Ding clashes with the day master Gui water, causing the day pillar to clash and punish itself, matching the idea of moving the whole family. Although the Jin Yu star is active, indicating living standards may improve after relocation, the Hua Gai star also appears, implying potential loneliness in childhood. Overall, this is a major family change driven by the water formation, with year energy clashes and harms dominating.

This year the subject is in the Xin-You Pi-Yin major luck cycle, with the annual stem Ren-Chen. The day master Gui water is not weak; the annual stem Ren water acts as rob wealth; the Shen-Zi-Chen three-water formation makes water energy excessive, which is inauspicious for the chart. Strong water energy indicates movement, travel, and change, matching the family relocating overseas. At the same time, the year's Chen earth (official) combines with the major luck's You metal (Pi-Yin) forming an 'official star activation' (You-Chen metal), signaling family responsibilities and the father’s business startup (founding a company). However, the water energy is too strong and drains wealth, and the year's wealth star is not evident, leading to financial difficulties—an enterprise forced by circumstances.

This year, the subject is in the Ren-Shen rob-wealth major luck, with the yearly stem Bing on the year. Rob-wealth implies competition, toil, and family responsibility; the major luck stem Ren water (rob wealth) clashes with the yearly stem Bing fire (direct wealth), forming a rob-wealth-to-wealth pattern, heightening family financial pressure and forcing the youth to shoulder the household. The year's earthly branch Shen and the day branch Hai mutual-harm disturb the day pillar's root, causing life circumstances to change and interrupt schooling. At the same time, both the yearly and major luck branches are Shen, strengthening the Direct Print star, which represents elders, family, and responsibility, hinting the family needs his support. Interestingly, the year's star still includes the Scholastic star, but the chart's and luck cycle's 'harm' and 'clash' prevent him from staying in school, guiding him to learn from life experiences and laying the groundwork for his future sharp business insight.

This year Mayer is in the Gui-You great luck cycle, with Gui Water acting as a companion star, signaling competition and hustle; the You Metal branch is the auxiliary star, indicating change and learning. The annual Jia Chen brings Jia Wood as the 'Hurting Officer' (influencing ideas and action) and Chen Earth as the 'Official Star', symbolizing career and responsibility. The key point is that the annual Chen Earth Official Star combines with the great luck You Metal, triggering the official star in his chart and signaling career opportunities, especially favorable for establishing roots and gaining recognition in a new environment. At the same time, the Chen Earth interacts with the birth chart's year Shen and hour Zi to form a Three-Harmony Water Pattern (Shen-Zi-Chen forming Water), water representing peers; though a hindrance, it also strengthens mobility, cooperation, and teamwork, prompting him to leave his hometown and work with new partners (spouse, colleagues). The annual Tian De and Yue De noble influencers appear, and the Gold Chariot star moves, suggesting invisible support and opportunities from benefactors or official circles; even though he works odd jobs, he can seize wealth-related opportunities and accumulate steadily.

This year Mayer is in the Gui-You Great Luck cycle, with Gui Water as the 'companion' star and You Metal as the 'auxiliary' star, forming a Metal-Water synergy. The annual stem Ding-Wei places Ding Fire as a 'unconventional wealth' star, which is considered inauspicious; however, the year's Wei Earth contains the Seven Kill star, with Ding Fire and Yi Wood hidden, forming a pattern where the Food God restrains the Kill and the Kill generates Print, aligning with buying and renovating the theater and launching a new venture. The Seven Kill symbolizes boldness and new enterprise, the Food God represents creativity and investment, matching the move. Although Ding Fire is an unfavorable star, it is countered by 丙 Fire as Proper Wealth, and the Wei Earth's interaction with the birth chart and Great Luck forms a Wood pattern that signals ideas and action, implying the investment was thoughtful rather than reckless. The heavenly stems Tian Yi and Tian Guan indicate help from benefactors or official circles, assisting the venture's start. The Great Luck's You Metal provides the root for adjusting stars, stabilizing the foundation and boosting confidence, supporting this entrepreneurial effort.

This year sees the final year of the Gui-You Great Luck, with the annual Ren Water (Renzi). The Day Master is Gui Water; the body is strong and favorable to Wood and Earth. The year's stems show Ren Water as a Rob Wealth and Zi Water as a Peer Star, both unfavorable, signaling intensified competition and potential losses. Yet Ren and Gui Water serve as adjustment stars, easing summer heat and bringing vitality and opportunities. The great luck's You Metal (Pi Yin) clashes with the annual Zi Water, causing some disruptions, but Metal generates Water, and Pi Yin represents strategy and wisdom, while the Romance Star helps attract attention. More importantly, the annual Zi Water forms a partial water pattern with the chart's Shen Metal in conjunction with the timing pillar Bing-Chen to form伏吟 (hidden tension), indicating the old business model (theater operation) faces challenges and renewal. Mayer cleverly uses the Pi Yin's wisdom to select religious-themed films, avoiding direct clashes with rivals and leveraging the social acceptance brought by the adjustment stars, turning pressure into momentum for transformation and laying a solid foundation for future endeavors.

This year the subject enters Jia Xu Hurting Officer major luck, with the yearly pillar Jia Yin; the Hurting Officer energy intensifies. The natal chart is a Pian Cai (indirect wealth) pattern, favoring Wood, Fire, and Earth. Xu, the major luck pillar, is a fire storehouse containing Ding Fire, creating wealth from the stored wealth star. The yearly Yin Wood strengthens the Hurting Officer, and its interaction with the day pillar Hai Water transforms into Wood; the Hai–Yin Wood combination greatly enhances the favorable Hurting Officer, forming a pattern where Hurting Officer generates wealth. The yearly Yin also represents Travel Horse, signaling movement, expansion, and change, aligning with the Boston venture. Additionally, both the annual luck and major luck bring Tian De and Yue De nobles, indicating benefactor support and a generally smooth path. Although the year pillar clashes with the annual pillar, family or environmental changes occur, spurring the subject to venture outward.

This year operates under Jia Xu Hurting Officer major luck, with the yearly Yi Mao Food God; the Wood-like energy of the food/skill star is strong, making it an excellent time for a Pian Cai chart to leverage talent, sharp vision, and innovative wealth-seeking methods. The annual Mao Wood harmonizes with the major luck Xu, triggering the wealth treasury, and together with the month and day branches Wei and Hai forming a Hai–Mao–Wei three-wood pattern, greatly boosting the power of the Shishen (investment insight, business acumen). Shishen generates wealth, and the wealth star has a source, enabling precise opportunity capture. The year's deities include General Star, favorable for taking a central role in business decisions; Tian Yi and Wen Chang Noblemen provide interpersonal and intellectual support, helping this pivotal investment succeed.

This year falls under Jia Xu Hurting Officer major luck, with Jia Wood Hurting Officer revealing creative talent and pioneering spirit. The yearly pillar is Bing Chen; the presence of direct wealth (Bing Fire) combines with the Month's Xin Metal Indirect Resource Star, converting resources and networks into actual wealth and opportunities, aligning with the wealth-aggregation theme. Meanwhile, the yearly Chen Earth clashes with the major luck Xu Earth, opening the wealth treasury (Xu is a fire treasury), signaling an expanded career scope and new wealth opportunities. The Hua Gai star enters the chart, favorable for showcasing distinctive talents and gaining prominence in culture and arts. Taken together, driven by sharp business sense (Hurting Officer generates wealth) and partnership wealth (wealth-aggregation), he successfully founds a film company, turning personal talent into the foundation of his career.

During this year, the subject is in a Jia Xu Hurting Officer fortune. The Xu branch clashes with the Wei month pillar, shaking the career foundation and signaling a turning point. In the annual fortune Wu-Wu, the heavenly stem Wu (Proper Official) emerges and harmonizes with the day master Gui-Shui; this is 'wealth and official power in one'—meaning career opportunities actively come, favorable for independent ventures and official recognition. The annual branch Wu (午火) harmonizes with the month Wei (未土), triggering both 'partial wealth' and the 'Seven Killings', with the wealth star and career star activated together, a strong signal for entrepreneurship and building a career map. Meanwhile, benefactor stars such as Tian De, Yue De, and Tian Guan from the major fortune and annual luck provide crucial support and networking for his entrepreneurial efforts.

This year is in the Yi Hai (乙亥) 'Food God' great fortune; the annual luck is Jia Zi with Hurting Officer. The 'Food God' represents talent, strategy, and initiation; with both fortune and annual luck aligning with the Food God energy, this is an excellent time to apply business acumen and bold leadership to consolidate major ventures. The annual branch Zi, though an inauspicious water star, brings many benefic stars such as Tian De, Yue De, Lu Shen, and Jiang Xing, with Jiang Xing particularly favorable for leadership roles within a team and achieving great things. Moreover, the 'Shen-Zi' half-harmony water pattern strengthens overall water energy, implying collaboration and resource integration turning personal will (the inauspicious water) into a solid career base. The Hai self-punishment in major luck and day pillar exists, but with the support of benefic stars, internal tensions are resolved, enabling the realization of this grand undertaking.

This year runs in the Yi Hai (乙亥) 'Food God' major fortune; the annual luck is 丁卯. The Ding Fire reveals a partial wealth (偏财) and the year’s Wood phase is strong. The key is that the year's 卯木, together with the month pillar 未 and day pillar 亥, and the major luck pillar 亥, form a strong Hai-Mao-Wei Three-Wood Wood Pattern. This Wood pattern greatly enhances the chart's existing Wood energy of the Food God; the Food God represents art, creativity, and influence, making it an excellent time to found an arts academy. At the same time, benefactor stars such as Tian Yi, Wen Chang, Fu Xing, and Jiang Xing gather, with Jiang Xing particularly helpful for taking a central role in a team and achieving great things. Although the major luck's Hai-Hai self-punishment can bring inner conflicts, the year’s strong combination of stars and benefic influences directs this energy toward building a thoughtfully-consensed organization, achieving a milestone in the career.

This year coincides with the Bingzi fortune and annual, forming fortune-fate alignment, magnifying key life themes. The major fortune and annual stems are both Bing Fire (Direct Wealth) together with Xin Metal (Indirect Resource) in harmony, forming a Bing-Xin combination that activates wealth. Although Bing Fire Direct Wealth is an inauspicious star for the natal chart, in a year as wealthy as this, it manifests an extreme wealth effect of 'the inauspicious star being used.' This represents career achievements and material rewards reaching heights few can reach. At the same time, the year adds the Star of Leadership and the Lu Shen (Prosperity God), signaling exceptional leadership, solid finances, and an unprecedented rise in social status.

This year marks the Bingzi major fortune and annual, forming a fortune-aligned period; an old saying suggests that when fortune and fate align, the balance of power shifts. The flow of the year and major luck is restrained by a hidden tension, intensifying the Water energy. The Day Master is Gui Water; the unfavorable stars are water and fire. With water (Bi Jie) dominating, there is a clear sign of 'Bi Jie usurping wealth,' while wealth star Bing Fire appears through the annual stems but is checked by Sub-stems such as Zi Water and time pillar Ren Water, signaling that important partnerships (Bi Jie) suffer and wealth/power patterns become unsettled. The Monthly Pillar Xin Metal (Partial Seal) and the major fortune's Bing Fire (Direct Wealth) align, meaning critical collaborations and checks are broken. The Hai/Zi/Chou triad water formation and the presence of the Seven Killers (power constraints) imply internal power struggles and imbalance within the leadership structure.

This year falls in the 丁丑 major fortune (1943-1952). The 丁 Fire representing Partial Wealth clashes with the Day Master Gui Water, while the丑 Earth contains Seven Killers clashing with the 未 Earth containing Seven Killers, forming a destabilizing major luck. The annual戊子 brings the official star into alignment with the Day Master Gui Water, suggesting possible management or official opportunities, but the Hai Water and time pillar 丑 Earth form a water-centered triad, strengthening the power of Bi Jie (peers/rivals). This indicates intensified internal industry competition, with traditional models facing strong disruption. The natal chart’s favored elements are Wood and Earth; but this year’s overwhelming Water suppresses Fire (wealth) and Earth (official), illustrating a scenario where an entertainment empire led by the subject trends toward decline in performance and challenge to authority.
