Sun Yat-sen

This year, the individual formally entered the Gengzi Major Life Cycle, marking the start of a new chapter. The Heavenly Stem Geng Metal (Rob Wealth) appears in the cycle, providing support to the Day Master Xin Metal, allowing him to receive help from peers or his environment during childhood and begin his studies. The Yearly Pillar is Jiaxu. The Earthly Branch Xu Earth (Proper Seal) combines with the Day Branch Mao Wood (Mao-Xu combine into Fire), activating the Seal Star. The Seal Star represents studies, teachers, and foundational knowledge. The Yearly Pillar combining into the Day Pillar is a clear signal of receiving traditional education and establishing a knowledge system. Simultaneously, the Yearly Heavenly Stem Jia Wood (Proper Wealth) combines with the Monthly Heavenly Stem Ji Earth (Partial Seal) (Ji-Jia combine into Earth), further strengthening the Seal Star's power. The natal chart itself is a Injury Officer Pattern, indicating intelligence and a rebellious spirit. The start of elementary education in this cycle and year precisely marks the initial foundation of his talent and knowledge.

The Yearly Pillar this year is Jimao. The Heavenly Stem Ji Earth (Partial Seal) appears, representing learning, documents, and foreign cultures, corresponding to the act of studying abroad. The Earthly Branch Mao Wood forms a Hai-Mao Half-Combine into Wood with the Monthly Pillar's Hai Water. Wood is the Wealth Star, representing new environments and resources, but Wood is also the Day Master's unfavorable element, indicating a process full of challenges and adaptation. The Major Cycle is Gengzi. Zi Water is the Eating God, governing travel and the flow of ideas. However, the Yearly Earthly Branch Mao and the Major Cycle Earthly Branch Zi form a Zi-Mao Mutual Punishment, representing the inner turmoil and homesickness caused by traveling far from home. The Wenchang Nobleman appears in both the Major Cycle and Yearly Pillar, a strong signal for advanced study. Overall, the Partial Seal guided him to a new knowledge system, and the Eating God propelled his journey to broaden his horizons. Although the process involved worries and discomfort from the punishment, it was a crucial step in shaping his future intellectual framework.

The Yearly Pillar this year is Renwu. The Heavenly Stem Ren Water (Injury Officer) appears, which is precisely the favored element and Ten God of his Injury Officer Pattern. The Injury Officer governs talent, thought, expression, and innovation. With the strong Ren Water Injury Officer, his academic inspiration flourished, leading to outstanding grades. Simultaneously, the Yearly Earthly Branch Wu Fire (Seven Killings) half-combines with the Year Pillar's Yin Wood into a Fire formation, activating the Wenchang Nobleman and Heavenly Virtue Nobleman in the Year Pillar. This represents an excellent learning environment, ease in gaining teacher appreciation, and noble assistance. Ren Water is also the key regulating element for his chart, representing wisdom and vision. Receiving modern education overseas (Water governs movement) corresponds to this sign. Although the Major Cycle Gengzi clashes with the Yearly Pillar (Zi-Wu clash), it strengthens the Water element, thereby aiding his Injury Officer power, providing strong internal drive for the formation of his grand ambitions.

This year, he is in the Gengzi Rob Wealth Major Cycle, with the Yearly Pillar Guiwei. The Yearly Heavenly Stem Gui Water (Eating God) appears. The Eating God governs thought, learning, and expression, corresponding to academic pursuits. The key point is that the Yearly Earthly Branch Wei forms a Hai-Mao-Wei Triple-Combine Wood Formation with the natal Monthly Branch Hai and Day Branch Mao. Wood is the Wealth Star in his chart, an unfavorable element, but the Triple-Combine formation is powerful, activating the entire chart and representing a major environmental shift from his homeland to Hong Kong (a Wood-prosperous place). Even more significantly, the Yearly Heavenly Stem Gui Water combines with the Hour Pillar Heavenly Stem Wu Earth (Proper Seal) (Wu-Gui combine into Fire). The Proper Seal represents studies, documents, and noble people. Being activated by combination indicates the arrival of a learning opportunity. The Major Cycle and Yearly Earthly Branches Zi and Wei harm each other, indicating upheaval and separation, precisely the sign of leaving home for study. In summary, Eating God activation, Seal Star combination, and Triple-Combine transformation together facilitated this crucial educational journey, a key turning point in his life trajectory.

The Yearly Pillar this year is Bingxu, which forms a Heaven and Earth Double Combination with the Day Pillar Xinmao, a key turning point in life. The Yearly Heavenly Stem Bing Fire (Proper Official) combines into the Day Master, indicating the powerful opening of doors for career and reputation, beneficial for study, job seeking, and establishing social status. Simultaneously, Xin-Bing combine into Water, transforming the Official Star into the Injury Officer, corresponding to the essence of his Injury Officer Pattern—his talent, thought, and revolutionary spirit are stimulated. The Major Cycle Xinchou and Yearly Pillar Bingxu combine in Heaven and punish in Earth, seemingly stable but harboring transformative energy. Chou-Xu punishment opens the Seal storage, aiding the absorption of new knowledge. The Yearly Huagai Star appears, indicating unique talent and thought will be recognized. The Hai-Zi-Chou Triple-Meet Water formation (Eating/Injury Officer) power in the natal chart is activated by the Major Cycle. The Eating/Injury Officer represents learning, expression, and innovation, precisely reflecting his study of new learning and advocacy of revolutionary ideas.

This year, Mr. Sun is in the Xinchou Major Cycle. The Major Cycle Earthly Branch Chou forms a Triple-Meet Water Formation with the natal Monthly Branch Hai and Hour Branch Zi (the Zi-Chou combine into Earth, but the Hai-Zi-Chou Triple-Meet Water formation's power is stronger), pushing the already strong Injury Officer (Water) energy in his chart to its peak. The Yearly Pillar Dinghai adds another Hai Water, activating and strengthening this Water formation. The Injury Officer represents talent, skill, and innovative thought. The surging Water energy corresponds precisely to the act of traveling to Hong Kong to study advanced Western medicine. The Yearly Heavenly Stem Ding Fire (Seven Killings) appears, representing pressure and challenge, as well as new opportunities and career beginnings. It clashes with the Day Master Xin Metal, stimulating his fighting spirit. Simultaneously, the Yearly Earthly Branch Hai combines with the Year Branch Yin, activating the Proper Official and Proper Wealth in the Year Pillar, representing the combination of social status and educational opportunity. The natal chart and Yearly Pillar carry the Heavenly Virtue Nobleman and Taiji Nobleman, indicating appreciation and assistance from teachers (like Dr. Cantlie), exceptional intelligence, and the ability to quickly master new learning. This year's fortune is a typical manifestation of seizing the opportunity of the times with extraordinary talent and courage to open a new chapter in life.

The Yearly Pillar this year is Renchen. The Heavenly Stem Ren Water (Injury Officer) appears, precisely the favored element of his chart pattern, indicating his talent and skill are displayed. The Injury Officer represents professional skill and outstanding performance, hence graduating first in class. The Yearly Earthly Branch Chen forms a Yin-Mao-Chen Triple-Meet Wood Formation with the Year Pillar Yin and Day Pillar Mao. Wood is the unfavorable element in his chart, representing excessive Wealth Star power, suggesting that although talented, his financial environment was not easy, leading him to choose healing the world through medicine rather than pure business. Simultaneously, the Major Cycle Xinchou combines with the Year Pillar Heavenly Stem Bing Fire (Proper Official) (Bing-Xin combine into Water), known as Major Cycle Combines Official, indicating smooth career progress and benefit in establishing reputation in his professional field. The Yearly Heavenly Stem Ren Water is also the regulating element, providing warmth in his winter-born Metal chart, allowing his talent to be expressed and gaining social recognition.

This year is the final year of the Xinchou Major Cycle. The Major Cycle Earthly Branch forms a Hai-Zi-Chou Triple-Meet Water Formation with the natal Monthly and Hour Pillars, pushing the Injury Officer energy to its peak. The Injury Officer represents thought, talent, and revolutionary spirit. The surging Water energy corresponds precisely to his act of proposing revolutionary principles and gathering overseas support. The Yearly Pillar Jiawu forms a Clash in Heaven and Earth with the Hour Pillar Bingshen (Jia Wood overcomes Wu Earth, Zi-Wu clash). This is a sign of great destruction and establishment, violently impacting the original Official Star and foundation in his chart, symbolizing a complete break with the old system and a fundamental shift in his life trajectory. The Yearly Earthly Branch Wu Fire is the General Star and encounters the Heavenly Virtue Nobleman, beneficial for assuming a leadership role within a team and uniting people. The Major Cycle and Yearly Pillar Chou and Wu harm each other, also indicating the hardships and struggles in the process of pioneering his cause.

This year falls within the Renyin Injury Officer Major Cycle. The Major Cycle Heavenly Stem Ren Water is the favored regulating element, and the Injury Officer Star energy is greatly released, representing a strong spirit of reform, innovation, and rebellion. This is the astrological reflection of engaging in revolution and challenging the old order. The Yearly Pillar Yiwei forms a Triple-Combine Wood Formation with the natal Monthly Pillar Hai and Day Pillar Mao. Wood is his unfavorable element, representing excessive Wealth Star (resources, plans) leading to loss of control. Furthermore, the Wood formation strengthens the Officer/Killing Stars (pressure, authorities). Hence, the uprising plan (Wealth) was leaked, inviting strong suppression from the authorities (Officer/Killing). The Yearly Heavenly Stem Yi Wood Partial Wealth clashes with the Day Master Xin Metal, representing Wealth damaging the Seal, indicating failure due to financial or organizational issues. Although the Heavenly Virtue Nobleman provided hidden protection, allowing him to escape into exile during the crisis, the powerful energy formed by the Major Cycle and Yearly Pillar had already set the tone for his path as a revolutionary leader.

This year, the Renyin Major Cycle and the Bingshen Yearly Pillar form a Clash in Heaven and Earth (Ren-Bing clash, Yin-Shen clash), a year of major transition and upheaval. The Yearly Earthly Branch Shen Metal is the Rob Wealth Star, clashing with the Year Pillar and Major Cycle Earthly Branch Yin Wood (Proper Wealth, Proper Official). This is Clashing with the Year Branch, indicating travel, conflict, loss, and significant change. The Yearly Heavenly Stem Bing Fire (Proper Official) combines with the Day Master Xin Metal, seemingly indicating official opportunities. However, the Major Cycle Heavenly Stem Ren Water (Injury Officer) and the Yearly Bing Fire Proper Official form the fierce conflict of Injury Officer Meets Official, representing the break and confrontation with the old official system (the Qing dynasty). The Hour Pillar's Traveling Horse is activated by the Yearly Pillar, indicating long-distance travel and movement. This configuration harbors good fortune within misfortune. Although Injury Officer controlling the Official indicates legal disputes or imprisonment (kidnapping), Bing Fire is also the regulating element, and the Heavenly Official Nobleman appears. Ultimately, he was rescued by a noble person (Cantlie, corresponding to the Heavenly Virtue Nobleman), turning the crisis into an opportunity for international fame. This corresponds to the wisdom and ability to find opportunity in desperate situations seen in the pattern of Injury Officer Paired with Seal.

This year marks entry into the Guimao Eating God Major Cycle, a decade where the Eating God Gui Water appears, allowing talent and thought to be fully released. The Yearly Pillar is Yisi. Although it forms a Clash in Heaven and Earth with the Monthly Pillar Jihai, triggering great turbulence and change, this clash precisely activates the Injury Officer Pattern and the Hai Water Injury Officer in his chart, thoroughly igniting revolutionary thought and action. The Yearly Earthly Branch Si Fire (Proper Official) echoes the natal Bing Fire Proper Official from afar. The State Seal, Heavenly Official Nobleman, and other auspicious signs converge, meaning his leadership position and revolutionary principles gained 'official' authoritative recognition and followers. The Major Cycle Earthly Branch Mao Wood forms a Hai-Mao Half-Combine Wood Formation with the natal Monthly Branch Hai Water and Day Branch Mao Wood, strengthening the Wealth Star power. This represents his successful unification of various forces (Wealth represents resources, personnel), forming a powerful revolutionary alliance.

The Yearly Pillar this year is Xinhai. Xinhai forms a Heaven and Earth Double Combination with the natal Year Pillar Bingyin, known as a 'Mandarin Duck Combination.' This indicates harmony in internal and external environments, gaining widespread support, a key period for forging great achievements and career takeoff. Xinhai combines and activates the Year Pillar's Proper Official and Proper Wealth. The Official Star represents career and power; the Wealth Star represents resources and public support. Xinhai combines and transforms into Water, and Water is the Injury Officer, precisely the ultimate expression of his Injury Officer Pattern talent and revolutionary ideals. The Xinhai Yearly Pillar forms a Mao-Hai Half-Combine Wood Formation with the Day Pillar and Major Cycle. Wood is the Wealth Star, representing the broad social resources and financial foundation obtained for his nation-building endeavor. The Yearly Heavenly Stem Xin Metal is the Companion, representing comrades and fellow fighters. The Earthly Branch Hai Water is the Injury Officer, representing revolutionary thought and action. The Xinhai combination is precisely the sign of 'comrades united, creating a new situation with thought and action.' The Xinhai Yearly Pillar also activates the natal General Star and Heavenly Virtue Nobleman, bringing leadership ability and noble luck to its peak. Although the year has signs of 'Breaking the Year Branch,' it is a case of 'break and then establish,' corresponding precisely to the feat of overthrowing the monarchy and establishing a republic.
