冼星海

In the 1912 Renzi year, the Heavenly Stem Ren Water (劫财) and the Earthly Branch Zi Water (比肩) are both favorable and supportive elements for the weak Day Master Gui Water, infusing powerful energy and support into the weak life chart. The current year's Earthly Branch Zi Water clashes with and overcomes the Month Pillar Wu Fire (偏财/Mother Star). This clash activates the unfavorable power of the Si-Wu-Wei Triple Fire Combination in the chart. Fire represents the Wealth Star, as well as family and elders, hence the signs of maternal grandfather's passing, family upheaval, and moving far from home. Simultaneously, the current year repeats (伏吟) with the Hour Pillar Jia Yin, indicating changes, repetition, and inner restlessness, which corresponds to the drastic change in living environment, the passing of the old, and the opening of a new chapter. However, the favorable Water element appears directly and gains strength in the current year, like providing a source of fresh water and companions for the drifting, weak water. The blessings of the Heavenly Virtue Nobleman and the Lu (Prosperity) Spirit meant that although this migration was triggered by misfortune, it became a crucial step in opening up new opportunities and accessing new horizons.

At age 10, the life owner was in the Xin-Si Major Period of Partial Resource. The current year was Yi-Mao, the Talent Star. The life chart is weak, favoring Metal (Resource) and Water (Peer) elements. The Major Period's Heavenly Stem Xin Metal (Partial Resource) appears as a favorable element, governing studies, wisdom, and affinity with elders. The current year's Talent Star Yi Wood appears; although it is an unfavorable element, it forms a Talent Controlling Resource pattern with the Major Period's Xin Metal, indicating that although the learning process had challenges, it could stimulate intelligence and internalize knowledge. The current year's Earthly Branch Mao Wood activates the Academy and Scholar Star in the Hour Pillar. The Major Period's Earthly Branch Si Fire also carries the Heavenly Virtue Nobleman. The convergence of multiple auspicious stars made this an excellent period for studying, developing wisdom, and encountering new culture. This school transfer precisely aligned with the energy of the Resource Star and Scholar Star in the fate chart, opening new horizons for future development.

This year, he was in the Geng-Chen Major Period of Direct Resource. The Major Period's Heavenly Stem Geng Metal (Direct Resource) is the most favored Regulating Element for the Day Master Gui Water, representing studies, elder protection, and spiritual nourishment. The current year Wu-Wu and the Day Pillar Gui-Wei form a 'Heaven and Earth Double Combination' (Gui-Wu combines into Fire, Wei-Wu combines into Fire), indicating a year of significant activation and opportunity in life. The current year's Earthly Branch Wu Fire activates the original chart's Si-Wu-Wei Triple Fire Combination. The fire energy is extremely strong; although it is an unfavorable element, Fire governs culture, art, and passion, which precisely ignited the artistic talent represented by the inherently strong Talent and Creativity Stars (Wood) in the chart. The current year encounters the Scholar Star, greatly benefiting learning and skill refinement. Therefore, under the protection of the Direct Resource Major Period, he was able to return smoothly and enter a quality institution. The strong activation and nobleman blessings of the current year allowed his inherent artistic talent (Talent/Creativity) to find a stage for release in musical activities, completing an important positioning and enlightenment in his life.

This year, he was in the Geng-Chen Major Period of Direct Resource. The Major Period's Heavenly Stem Geng Metal is the Day Master Gui Water's Direct Resource, the most needed favorable element, representing studies, reputation, and nobleman support. The current year Xin-You has the Heavenly Stem Xin Metal as Partial Resource and the Earthly Branch You Metal as the strong root of the Resource Star. The Major Period's Chen combines with the current year's You, Chen-You combines into Metal, further strengthening the Metal (Resource Star) energy. The Resource Star represents talent, knowledge, and fame, and its extremely strong energy provided an excellent stage for his talent to shine. Simultaneously, the chart itself has Talent Star (Yi Wood) and Creativity Star (Jia Wood) appearing, representing artistic expression and creativity. The strong Resource Stars from the Major Period and current year precisely nourish the Day Master, allowing the talent represented by Talent/Creativity to be expressed safely and smoothly. Therefore, he stood out in campus cultural activities, earning the title 'Southern Flautist,' a typical manifestation of a weak self encountering strong Resource support, allowing talent to be revealed.

This year, he was in the midst of the Geng-Chen Major Period of Direct Resource. The Major Period's Heavenly Stem Geng Metal (Direct Resource) is the most needed favorable element for the Day Master Gui Water, governing academic advancement and nobleman support. The current year Yi-Chou has the Heavenly Stem Yi Wood (Talent Star) appearing, representing talent display and advanced study. The key point is that the current year's Yi Wood Talent Star and the Major Period's Geng Metal Direct Resource combine (Yi-Geng combination), tightly linking talent with nobleman power, a typical astrological sign of pursuing advanced studies and learning from renowned masters (Xiao Youmei). The current year's Earthly Branch Chou contains Xin Metal (Partial Resource) and Gui Water (Peer), both are regulating favorable elements, and the Hua Gai star is activated, indicating unique talent is revealed, highly compatible with entering the artistic field. The Major Period's Earthly Branch Chen and the Hour Pillar's Zi Water form a Zi-Chen semi-combination into Water, strengthening the Day Master's foundation, giving him the confidence to study far from home.

This year, the life owner was in the Ji-Mao Major Period of Direct Officer (七杀). The current year was Wu-Chen, the Direct Official. The original chart has a Talent/Creativity generates Wealth pattern, with strong artistic talent and desire for expression. The current year's Heavenly Stem Wu Earth (Direct Official) combines with the Day Master Gui Water (Wu-Gui combines into Fire). This is 'Combining with the Official', indicating career opportunities and official recognition, corresponding to the sign of being admitted to a national higher education institution. The Earthly Branch Chen is the Water reservoir, containing Gui Water, which is the root of the Day Master. The regulating element gains strength, leading to inner fulfillment and enhanced learning ability and confidence. The Major Period's Earthly Branch Mao Wood (Talent Star) clashes with the current year's Chen Earth, indicating minor setbacks. However, the Talent Star represents talent and skill, corresponding to the process of studying far from home and skill refinement. Simultaneously, the current year encounters the Official Nobleman, making it easy to gain appreciation and support from teachers (like Xiao Youmei), laying a solid foundation for the artistic path.

This year, he was in the Ji-Mao Major Period of Direct Officer (七杀), and the current year also encountered Ji-Si, Direct Officer. Double appearance of Direct Officer creates strong pressure and challenges, indicating change, breakthrough, and official trouble. The life owner's Bazi has a weak Gui Water Day Master. Direct Officer attacking the self easily leads to rebellious, confrontational actions, corresponding to participating in student protests and being expelled. The current year's Earthly Branch Si forms a Si-Wu-Wei Triple Fire Combination with the chart's Month Branch Wu and Day Branch Wei. Fire is the Wealth Star and also an unfavorable element in the chart. The raging fire severely drains the Day Master's Water, indicating the original environment (school) was extremely unfavorable, leading to interrupted studies. However, the current year's astrological signs show Heavenly Virtue Nobleman, Tai Chi Nobleman, and Traveling Horse. The Major Period also has the Scholar Star. The appearance of Nobleman Stars and Traveling Horse Star together means that amidst major changes, a door to distant places (Traveling Horse) and higher learning (Scholar) was opened instead. The Talent/Creativity Stars (representing talent, expression) are inherently strong in the chart and were released during the change, prompting him to go to Paris to pursue art.

This year, the Ji-Mao Major Period and the Jia-Xu current year formed a Heaven and Earth Double Combination (Jia-Ji combines into Earth, Mao-Xu combines into Fire), an auspicious sign of smooth fortune and abundant support. The current year's Heavenly Stem Jia Wood (Creativity Star) appears, representing the display and breakthrough of talent and skill, echoing the Creativity Star in the Hour Pillar Jia Yin, strongly activating artistic talent. The current year's Earthly Branch Xu Earth (Direct Official) forms a semi-Fire combination with the Month Pillar Wu Fire, indicating the Official Star gains strength, representing formal recognition and acceptance by an official institution (the conservatory). More crucially, Xu contains Xin Metal (Partial Resource), precisely the chart's Regulating Element, representing the valuable opportunity for advanced study and guidance from masters (Resource Star governs studies, teachers). The Scholar Star in the Major Period also functions at this time, benefiting deep learning and self-improvement.

This year was the Yi-Hai current year, during the Ji-Mao Major Period. The current year's Earthly Branch Hai Water is the Emperor's Prosperity position for the Day Master Gui Water, where the favorable element (Water) gains strength, greatly enhancing the Day Master's power and confidence, giving him the courage to take on significant responsibilities in turbulent times. The current year's Heavenly Stem Yi Wood (Talent Star) and the Major Period's Heavenly Stem Ji Earth (Direct Officer) form Talent controlling Officer, transforming pressure and challenges (Officer) into creative and expressive talent (Talent). More importantly, the current year, Major Period, and the chart's Day Branch Wei Earth form a Hai-Mao-Wei triple combination into Wood. Wood represents Talent/Creativity, representing art, talent, and expression. This combination is powerful, tightly linking personal talent with the nation's fate (salvation movement). The current year's astrological sign shows the Heavenly Virtue Nobleman, representing invisible protection and recognition in times of crisis. The chart itself has abundant Wealth but a weak self. This year, Water and Wood are both strong, making the self strong enough to bear Wealth and Official positions, allowing talent to be fully expressed, achieving the first peak of his artistic career.

This year coincided with the Wu-Yin Major Period and the Wu-Yin current year, forming Major Period and Current Year coincide, a crucial life juncture where auspicious and inauspicious energies are doubled. The current year's Heavenly Stem Wu Earth (Direct Official) combines with the Day Master Gui Water (Wu-Gui combines into Fire). This is 'Official comes to combine with me', a strong signal of career opportunities and official recognition, corresponding to his appointment by an official institution and assumption of an important position. The Major Period and current year's Earthly Branch Yin Wood is the Creativity Star, forming a Yin-Wu semi-combination into Fire with the chart, further activating the overall fire energy (Wealth Star), indicating his artistic talent (Talent/Creativity) could be施展 in a specific environment (Fire combination, which can symbolize revolutionary fervor). The current year's astrological sign shows the Golden Chariot, indicating improved quality of life and opportunities, matching his career platform advancement. Although the chart shows a weak self, this year's Official Star combining with the self is a key period for transforming pressure and responsibility into career achievements.

This year, he was in the Wu-Yin Major Period of Direct Official. The Major Period's Heavenly Stem Wu Earth (Direct Official) combines with the Day Master Gui Water (Wu-Gui combines into Fire), representing official recognition and important positions in his career. The current year Ji-Mao has the Direct Officer (七杀) appearing, indicating coexisting career pressure and opportunities. However, the current year's Earthly Branch Mao Wood (Talent Star) interacts with the chart and Major Period. Talent/Creativity (talent) strengthens the Wealth Star. His artistic creation (Talent/Creativity) 'The Yellow River Cantata' shone brilliantly, leading to career promotion (Direct Official). The current year's Heavenly Virtue Nobleman and Scholar Star converge, indicating nobleman support and a surge of creative ideas, with the work receiving high-level attention. Simultaneously, the Major Period and current year activate the children's palace, leading to the birth of his daughter.

This year, he was in the Wu-Yin Major Period. The Major Period's Heavenly Stem Wu Earth (Direct Official) combines with the Day Master Gui Water, forming Gui-Wu combines into Fire, a strong signal of receiving important missions and official recognition in his career. The current year was Geng-Chen. The Heavenly Stem Geng Metal (Direct Resource) appears directly, serving as the chart's Regulating Element, representing gaining trust and assignment from superiors (Official-Resource) to perform an important task abroad (Resource Star also governs distant places). However, the current year's Earthly Branch Chen Earth is the Officer/Resource storage, forming complex relationships with the Major Period and chart. Additionally, the original chart's strong Fire as an unfavorable element persists, with the Si-Wu-Wei Triple Fire Combination and Yin Wood generating Fire still strong. This led to a sudden change in the external environment (Fire governs war, turmoil; Soviet-German War), forcing the mission to be interrupted, creating the image of 'Official and Resource follow but are constrained by strong Fire,' resulting in unexpected detention.

This year was the Xin-Si current year. The Day Master Gui Water is weak. The current year's Heavenly Stem Xin Metal is the favorable element Partial Resource, representing documents, reputation, and new庇护, beneficial for starting cultural endeavors under a new identity (pseudonym). The current year's Earthly Branch Si forms a Si-Wu-Wei Triple Fire Combination with the chart and Major Period. Fire is the unfavorable Wealth Star, representing environmental turmoil and pressure, prompting him to move far away. Simultaneously, the current year is the Year of the Birth Branch (值太岁), indicating change. Moreover, the Major Period's Heavenly Stem Wu Earth (Direct Official) combines with the Day Master Gui Water (Wu-Gui combination). The Official Star represents career and fame; combination indicates new opportunities and identity transformation. The current year's astrological sign carries the Heavenly Virtue Nobleman, suggesting it is easy to get help in unfamiliar environments, beneficial for his music teaching and creative activities.

This year, he was in the Wu-Yin Major Period (Direct Official) and encountered the Ren-Wu current year. The Major Period's Heavenly Stem Wu Earth (Direct Official) combines with the Day Master Gui Water (Wu-Gui combines into Fire). This is the 'Combining with the Official' sign, indicating it is easy to gain nobleman support and social status advancement in career, a period for expanding career horizons. The current year's Earthly Branch Wu Fire forms a Yin-Wu semi-combination into Fire with the chart and Major Period, and further forms a Si-Wei-Wu Triple Fire Combination with the Year and Day Pillars. The fire energy is extremely strong. Fire is the Wealth Star and also the platform for his artistic talent (Talent/Creativity generates Wealth). Although Fire is his unfavorable element, the Official Nobleman appears in the current year, meaning it is easy to gain appreciation from authoritative figures in the workplace or professional field. This journey and receiving help from a local composer were precisely the result of the combined action of the Major Period's Combining with Official and the current year's Nobleman, transforming the strong unfavorable Fire energy into an opportunity to施展 artistic talent and establish professional connections in a foreign country.
