罗荣桓 (Luo Ronghuan)

This year the subject is in the Gui Chou major luck cycle, with the major luck clashing with the day pillar, indicating inner conflict and repeated indecision. The yearly fortune Ji Wei forms a clash with the day pillar and the major luck, and the Chou Wei clash signals turbulence and change. The year's heavenly stems reveal Seven Killings energy, representing pressure, challenges, and the courage to resist authority. The major luck, month pillar, and hour pillar form a Water triad with Hai, Zi, and Chou, strengthening the power of peers and sparking strong collective will and action. The chart is water-rich and favors earth to balance. When the yearly Seven Killings manifest as earth, it uses the power of official authority to regulate the Bi Jie crowd, directing personal energy toward opposing social injustice and defending national interests. This movement illustrates how Water energy, the chart's unfavored element, is guided and transformed by the favorable Earth energy, elevating personal energy into patriotism.

This year is Jia Yin Hurting Officer major luck; the stems and branches are wood, a key favorable energy that promotes active thinking, willingness to reform and take action. The yearly Ding Mao indicates Ding Fire as partial wealth and aligns with year and hour stems Ren Water, triggering the whole pattern. Fire is the tempering energy and favorable, representing opportunities and action. Ding Fire combines with the dynamic year and hour stems Ren Water, turning the power of Rob Wealth into Hurting Officer and directing personal energy and team strength toward transformation and creation. The year branch Mao Wood and month branch Hai Water form a half-conjunction of Wood, further strengthening the favorable Wood energy. The chart is Jian Lu; it favors官杀 balance, and joining a disciplined organization with noble goals (Guan Sha) is a perfect expression of the chart energy. The appearances of Tian Yi Gui Ren and Wen Chang Gui Ren indicate noble support and enlightenment. Serving as a Party representative embodies Hurting Officer meeting Official energy, using literature to assist military power, and is a clear demonstration of the chart energy in which the time column Official energy and the month column concealed energy combine, signaling a clear career direction and an important early start.

This year, the subject is in Jia Yin Hurting Officer major luck; the year and hour stems align to form a pattern favorable to talent and reform. The yearly Ding Mao features Ding Fire as partial wealth, aligning with Ren Water in the year and hour stems, triggering the overall pattern. The year branch Mao Wood and month branch Hai Water form a half-wood pattern, strengthening the Wood energy. Jian Lu pattern is present, favoring balance with officials and a disciplined organization with noble goals (Guan Sha). Tian Yi Gui Ren and Wen Chang Gui Ren indicate noble support and enlightenment. Being appointed as the Party representative embodies Hurting Officer meeting Official energy, and the mutual support of Official energy and Seal energy indicates a clear career path and an important early step in his career.

During this year, the subject enters the Jia‑Yi Shangguan major luck cycle, with the annual stem showing Ji Earth Seven Killings surfacing, forming an alliance with the Jia Wood in the luck pillar. The Jia–Ji Earth alliance channels the talent and creativity of Shangguan into the authority and responsibility of official power (Earth). Seven Killings is a favorable deity, and its power is strengthened, indicating that the career will receive an important appointment and take on key duties. The year's Earthly Branch Si Fire represents direct wealth and clashes with the monthly Hai Water, and the Hai–Si clash triggers the month pillar, signaling significant changes within the team or organization and a push towards ideological unity. At the same time, the year carries the Heavenly Nobleman, suggesting praise and support from superiors. The chart shows strong water energy, with Earth and Fire energies amplified, creating a balance where Water is restrained by the Earth-based Official-Kill energy, and Wealth (Fire) nourishes Official power; this trend suggests formal career recognition and a established status.

That year falls under Jia‑Yin Shangguan major luck; the stems and branches of the luck cycle align with the natal year pillar, boosting Shangguan energy, indicating talent blossoming and changes in position. The annual Ren‑Shen year has Shen Metal clashing with Yin Wood and the year and luck pillars, forming Yin‑Shen clash; this clash signals major life changes and travel, aligned with a re‑assignment or combat involvement. The year's Shen Metal acts as Direct Resource, forming官印 productive synergy with the chart, and the year also features the National Seal Nobleman star, indicating official recognition and entrusted responsibilities. The chart itself is Jianlu pattern; it favors using Official‑Kill energy (Earth) to regulate Water. In the year, Shen contains Wu Earth Direct Official; in the major luck of Yin, Wu Official is hidden; Official star energy is activated, marking a crucial period to gain authority and shoulder responsibilities.

That year coincides with Jia‑Yin Shangguan major luck and Jia‑Xu Shangguan year, where Shangguan indicates change, challenge, and bold ventures. The base pattern is Jianlu; it favors Official‑Kill energy to restrain Water. The annual Xu Earth Direct Official reveals and with the Day's Chou Earth Seven Killers forms Chou‑Xu clash; this clash implies internal pressure and adjustments (corresponding to unit reorganization and position changes), but also activates the Official‑Kill Earth energy the chart favors, signaling heavier responsibilities and severe tests in career. The major luck and year both show Jia Wood Shangguan; Shangguan meeting Official energy typically means breaking conventions and engaging in a bold, challenging career path. Simultaneously, the year carries Moon Virtue Nobleman, providing support through difficulties, enabling one to persevere and complete missions.

That year, the Wu-Yin annual cycle features the direct官 energy, precisely the type the chart favors. The Wu Earth官 aligns with the day master Gui Water—a classic 'official comes to me' signal—marking an important appointment and official recognition. The year's Yin Wood (Shangguan) combines with the month's Hai Water to form a Three-Wood pattern, with Wood as the favorable element, allowing water to flow and strengthening initiative and decisiveness. Although the fortune pillar乙卯 (Food God) clashes with the month's Xin Metal, the timely appearance of Tian Guan (Nobleman) brings mentorship and support at work. Overall, the chart favors Earth (官) and Wood (食傷); with the官 star aligned and Noble support, it reflects a turning point of taking a crucial post in a crisis.

That year is the Gui-Wei year, with the day master Gui Water very strong, usually a challenging energy. However, the year's Wei Earth contains the Seven Killings, which suits the chart and represents power and responsibility. The key is that Wei, Mao, and Hai form a Three-Wood pattern (Hai-Mao-Wei), elevating Wood as the favorable element, representing strategy, execution, and prestige. This pattern channels water energy (Hai) through the fortune pillar's Shishen (乙卯) into a strong Wood pattern, and Wood then fuels the annual Seven Killings (Wei), creating a dynamic of Shishen controlling Sha and Shangguan bearing Seal. Simultaneously, the annual Nobleman star (National Seal Nobleman) appears, indicating authority and official recognition. The Shishen in the stems supports talent and leadership. With multiple favorable factors converging, the bearer is entrusted with significant military-political power in a turbulent era.

That year falls in the乙卯 Food God fortune cycle; the major fortune and the annual乙酉 clash (卯酉相冲), signaling a major career change and expansion. The day master Gui Water is very strong; favorable elements are官杀 (Earth) and财星 (Fire). The annual酉金 is a Partial Seal (偏印) and, with 丑 in the chart forming a Metal pattern, strengthens the 印 star, indicating trust and authorization from superiors. At the same time, the annual 将星 (General Star) enters the chart, signaling authority and leadership for a key military-political post. The Shishen in the fortune (乙木) is present; although it drains the self-element, Wood can generate wealth, and wealth can feed Official power. This flow enables the chart’s energy to translate into opportunities for career development.

This year’s cycle forms a strong auspice: the day pillar and earthly branch align in a Heaven and Earth Double Harmony, with the stems aligning to fire and the branches to earth, indicating strong support and smooth conditions, and major breakthroughs and collaborations in career. The year's heavenly stem reveals the Official Star, strongly restraining the Day Master’s excess water, fitting the Jianlu pattern that signals authority, discipline, and heavy responsibilities. The Three-Water Gathering—though considered challenging—concentrates the power of peers (team, army) into a formidable collective action. The Bingchen decade uses Fire as the regulating star to dispel winter’s cold, bringing strategic vision and decisive power. The Hour Pillar's Commander Star activation symbolizes commanding vast forces and delivering decisive outcomes.

This year, Luo Ronghuan enters the Bingchen great luck cycle (1946–1955) with annual Ji-Chou. The chart favors Fire and Earth. The great luck’s heavenly stem Bing Fire acts as the regulating favorable star, dispelling winter water’s chill and signaling a broader career arc with rising value. The annual stem Ji Earth with Seven Killings emerges, indicating authority, responsibility and expansion, aligning with his appointment to lead national judicial and prosecutorial power. The annual branch Chou and the day pillar Chou interact to amplify the Seven Killings, suggesting unprecedented responsibility and pressure, yet also a time to achieve merit. The combination of the “Wealth Begets Official Power” pattern is favorable, and with the favorable star in place, the chart’s strong Jianlu pattern is fully realized, embodying his eventual leadership in significant national duties.

This year is the final year of the Bingchen ten-year luck (1946–1955). The ten-year cycle’s heavenly stem Bing Fire serves as the key regulating element, capable of dispelling winter water’s chill and bringing warmth and prestige. The annual stem Yi and the Wei branch clash; Wei Earth embodies Seven Killings, which resonates with the hour pillar Wu Earth Zheng Guan, triggering both the Official and Killing stars and signaling strong potential for achievement and authority. The year’s deities include National Seal Noble and Heavenly Virtue Noble, indicating official recognition and unseen protection, aligning with national honors. As the ten-year cycle ends, the favorable influence pushes a decade’s worth of merit and reputation to a peak.

In this year, the Gui Water day master is at the end of the Ding-Si major luck cycle. The earthly branch of the major luck is Si, forming a clash with the month pillar Hai, a clash of luck that unsettles life's foundations, signaling health instability and drastic changes in circumstances. The annual stem is Gui Water (the same-element 'peer'), considered the most inauspicious element in the chart when it appears, intensifying the danger of a water-dominated chart. Gui Water in the annual pillar further clashes with the major luck stem Ding Fire (the wealth/partial wealth), creating a three-way clash among year, major luck, and the natal chart that involves the Wealth Star (Ding Fire) and the Official Star (Wu Earth). The Wealth Star can symbolize bodily functions and wealth; the Official Star represents constraint and prestige. The fierce water-fire clash leads to the loss of the earth-officer's support, and water's defenses fail, corresponding to kidney-water system collapse. Additionally, the annual branch Mao and the hour pillar branch Zi form a Zi-Mao punishment, affecting the hour pillar's child palace and indicating late-life unease. Multiple dangers converge, eventually draining life force.
