Yitzhak Rabin

This year was the 癸亥 (Guǐ Hài) Yearly Pillar, occurring before the first major life cycle. The heavenly stem 癸 (Guǐ) Water is the Direct Wealth Star, which combines with the Day Master 戊 (Wù) Earth. The earthly branch 亥 (Hài) Water is the Indirect Wealth Star, and it combines with the earthly branch 寅 (Yín) Wood of the Month Pillar and the major life cycle. This year, the energy of the Wealth Stars is extremely strong, and wealth comes to combine with the self, typically indicating changes in family circumstances or receiving support from elders. Simultaneously, the earthly branch 亥 (Hài) Water of the yearly pillar activates the Traveling Horse Star in the Month Pillar and the major life cycle (寅 Yín is the Traveling Horse), which governs relocation and change. The yearly auspicious star Heavenly Joy appears, also foretelling joyful family events or improvements in the environment. Overall, the Wealth Stars combining with the self and the activation of the Traveling Horse correspond to the family's relocation during childhood, starting a new life.

This year, Rabin was in the 癸卯 (Guǐ Mǎo) Direct Wealth major life cycle, with the yearly pillar being 戊辰 (Wù Chén). The heavenly stem 癸 (Guǐ) Water of the major life cycle is the favorable Temperance Star, bringing nourishment for wisdom and opportunities. The yearly pillar, major life cycle, and Month Pillar form a Triple Wood Combination (寅卯辰 Yín Mǎo Chén), where Wood represents the Officer and Kill Stars, symbolizing rules, discipline, and responsibility. This corresponds precisely to the opportunity to enter school and receive systematic education. The earthly branch 辰 (Chén) of the yearly pillar forms a repetition (伏吟) with the Day Pillar 辰 (Chén) and also clashes with the Year's Ruler, indicating significant changes in life circumstances, such as family or residential relocation (from Jerusalem to Tel Aviv). Simultaneously, the major life cycle's Heavenly Nobleman appears, benefiting learning and encountering good teachers. Although the Triple Wood Combination of Officer/Kill Stars brings pressure, the Day Master 戊 (Wù) Earth has a strong root to bear it. Moreover, the yearly pillar's 癸戊合火 (Guǐ-Wù combine into Fire), where Fire is the favorable element, can transform pressure into enthusiasm and motivation for learning. This was the time for intellectual enlightenment and laying the foundation.

This year, Rabin entered the 甲辰 (Jiǎ Chén) major life cycle. The heavenly stem 甲 (Jiǎ) Wood, the Seven Killings Star, appears, representing discipline, challenge, and power, corresponding to joining a military organization for strict training. The yearly pillar 乙亥 (Yǐ Hài) has the heavenly stem 乙 (Yǐ) Wood, the Direct Officer Star, which together with the Seven Killings in the chart forms a mix of Officer and Kill Stars, intensifying external rules and pressure, and also signifying the establishment of a life direction. The earthly branch 亥 (Hài) Water of the yearly pillar combines with the Month Pillar's 寅 (Yín) Wood (寅亥合木 Yín-Hài combine into Wood), further activating the already strong Wood (Officer/Kill) energy in the chart, causing the life master to actively approach and adapt to a challenging environment. Simultaneously, the Month Pillar carries the Traveling Horse Star, governing change and distant travel, aligning with his departure from the conventional educational path and entry into a new field.

This year, Rabin was in the 甲辰 (Jiǎ Chén) Seven Killings major life cycle, with the yearly pillar being 庚辰 (Gēng Chén). The heavenly stem 甲 (Jiǎ) Wood, the Seven Killings Star, of the major life cycle represents pressure, responsibility, and decisiveness. The yearly pillar's heavenly stem 庚 (Gēng) Metal, the Resource Star, appears. The Resource Star controlling the Killings signifies mature personal thought and a clear, oppositional (controlling the Killings) life choice. The earthly branch 辰 (Chén) Earth of the yearly pillar forms 辰辰自刑 (Chén-Chén Self-Punishment) with the Day Pillar's 辰 (Chén) Earth, indicating intense internal struggle and self-renewal, ultimately leading to a firm decision. Simultaneously, the yearly pillar clashes with the Year's Ruler, indicating a major life change—abandoning the stable path of studying abroad for a challenging military career, which is precisely the manifestation of this sign. The earthly branches of the major life cycle and yearly pillar are both 辰 (Chén), and the Lonely Star is prominent, also foretelling that his talent and intellect would be cultivated and applied in a solitary yet lofty field (the military).

This year, Rabin was in the 甲辰 (Jiǎ Chén) Seven Killings major life cycle. The heavenly stem 甲 (Jiǎ) Wood, the Seven Killings Star, appears, intensifying the already vigorous energy of Officer/Kill Stars (career, pressure, challenge) in the chart. The yearly pillar 辛巳 (Xīn Sì) has the heavenly stem 辛 (Xīn) Metal as the Hurt Officer Star, representing decisiveness, action, and the application of talent. The appearance of the Hurt Officer Star allows it to harness and respond to the immense pressure and challenges brought by the Seven Killings, forming a 'Hurt Officer controlling the Killings' situation, which is favorable for standing out in a harsh environment. The earthly branch 巳 (Sì) Fire of the yearly pillar is the Indirect Resource Star, a favorable element in the chart that can transform the Killings to support the self, providing wisdom and protection. Simultaneously, the yearly auspicious stars include the Base Star and Heavenly Nobleman, indicating gaining opportunities, a foundation, and support in career. The combined effect of the major life cycle and yearly pillar activates the strong characteristics of the Seven Killings Pattern in the chart, allowing him to find a stage to realize his ambitions in the dangerous and competitive military field.

This year, the 丁亥 (Dīng Hài) yearly pillar and the life master's Month Pillar 壬寅 (Rén Yín) form a 'Heaven and Earth Double Combination' (丁壬合木 Dīng-Rén combine into Wood, 寅亥合木 Yín-Hài combine into Wood), a strong signal of 'receiving much support,' indicating smooth internal and external affairs and career advancement. The heavenly stem 丁 (Dīng) Fire, the Direct Resource Star, appears in the yearly pillar, which is a favorable element in the chart, representing authority, documents, and appointment, corresponding to the 'promotion' sign. The earthly branch 亥 (Hài) Water, the Indirect Wealth Star, of the yearly pillar combines with the Month Pillar's 寅 (Yín) Wood, the Seven Killings Star, transforming the powerful Seven Killings (representing military power, pressure) that originally restricted the Day Master into Wood energy that generates the Resource Star, forming the noble pattern of 'Killings generating Resource Star'. This means immense challenges (Seven Killings) are transformed into power and status through wisdom and strategy (Resource Star). Simultaneously, the yearly pillar's 亥 (Hài) Water clashes with the major life cycle's 巳 (Sì) Fire (巳亥相冲 Sì-Hài clash), activating the Indirect Resource Star within the major life cycle's 巳 (Sì) Fire, also intensifying changes and opportunities in the career environment. Overall, the powerful combining force of the yearly pillar and the appearance of favorable elements successfully transformed the originally strong pressure of the Seven Killings in the chart into a practical opportunity to command military power.

This year, Rabin was in the 乙巳 (Yǐ Sì) Direct Officer major life cycle. The heavenly stem 乙 (Yǐ) Wood, the Direct Officer Star, appears, representing officialdom, organization, and new responsibilities. The yearly pillar 戊子 (Wù Zǐ) has the heavenly stem 戊 (Wù) Earth, the Peer Star, sharing the same element as the Day Master, enhancing his own strength and peer support, which is beneficial for establishing himself within a collective (the army). The earthly branch 子 (Zǐ) Water, the Direct Wealth Star, is a favorable element and forms a Half-Water Combination with the Day Branch 辰 (Chén) Earth, strengthening the power of the Wealth Star. This means the new organization (IDF) could provide practical resources and a platform. The yearly auspicious star General Star appears, corresponding to taking on a more important role within the team. The earthly branch 巳 (Sì) Fire of the major life cycle is the Indirect Resource Star, which can transform and dissipate the restriction from the Officer/Kill Stars, representing coping with pressure through wisdom and learning (military skills). Overall, this is the sign of Officer generating Resource Star, where, amidst pressure and challenges (strong Officer/Kill Stars), he obtained a formal position and promotion channel through his own strength (Peer Star) and the organizational platform (Wealth Star).

This year, Rabin was in the 乙巳 (Yǐ Sì) Direct Officer major life cycle. The earthly branch 巳 (Sì) Fire of the major life cycle is the Resource Star, which can transform and dissipate the excessive Wood energy (Seven Killings) in the chart, playing the role of Killings generating Resource Star, beneficial for gaining power and status under pressure. The yearly pillar 戊子 (Wù Zǐ) has the heavenly stem 戊 (Wù) Earth, the Peer Star, appearing, which enhances the Day Master's own strength, giving him sufficient energy to bear and confront the powerful Seven Killings (representing challenges, war, pressure) in the chart. The earthly branch 子 (Zǐ) Water is the Wealth Star and forms a Half-Water Combination with the Day Branch 辰 (Chén) Earth, strengthening the power of the Wealth Star. Wealth can generate the Officer, meaning the tasks he undertook (Officer) could bring substantial practical results (Wealth). The yearly auspicious star General Star appears, corresponding to taking on heavy responsibilities in a military command position. This year, the combined action of the chart, major life cycle, and yearly pillar perfectly integrated the challenging nature of the Seven Killings Pattern, the leadership of the General Star, and the practical results of Wealth and Officer, forging the glorious start of his military career.

This year, Rabin was in the 丙午 (Bǐng Wǔ) Indirect Resource Star major life cycle. The heavenly stem 丙 (Bǐng) Fire is his crucial Temperance Element and favorable pattern element. Fire warms the cold early spring earth, transforms the Killings to support the self, representing support from noble people and the elevation of thought and power. The yearly pillar 己亥 (Jǐ Hài) has the earthly branch 亥 (Hài) Water, the Wealth Star, combining with the Month Pillar's 寅 (Yín) Wood, the Seven Killings Star (寅亥合木 Yín-Hài combine into Wood), transforming the power of the Wealth Star into the Officer/Killings (career, power). This means integrating resources and strategic planning to transform external pressure (Seven Killings) into actual leadership authority. The earthly branch 午 (Wǔ) of the major life cycle is the General Star. This year, it is covertly combined by the yearly pillar's 亥 (Hài) Water (午亥暗合 Wǔ-Hài covert combination), activating the energy of the General Star, corresponding to the sign of commanding military affairs and demonstrating outstanding leadership ability. Overall, this was a year of favorable elements arriving and Officer/Killings being controlled, leading to a key appointment in career, with simultaneous growth in power and responsibility.

This year coincided with the time of Major Cycle and Yearly Pillar Coincidence (岁运并临) between the 丁未 (Dīng Wèi) major life cycle and the 丁未 (Dīng Wèi) yearly pillar, amplifying both auspicious and inauspicious energies. For the life master, this was a major life juncture and an excellent opportunity for a career peak. The chart has a Seven Killings Pattern, which favors the Fire Resource Star to transform the Killings and support the self. The heavenly stem 丁 (Dīng) Fire, the Direct Resource Star, appears in the yearly pillar, indicating the arrival of the favorable element. It combines with the heavenly stems 壬 (Rén) Water, the Indirect Wealth Star, of the Year, Month, and Hour Pillars (壬丁合木 Rén-Dīng combine into Wood), transforming Wealth to generate Officer/Killings, which in turn generates the Resource Star, ultimately concentrating energy on the Resource Star representing fame, power, and wisdom. Although the earthly branches show 戌未相刑破 (Xū-Wèi clash and break), bringing internal pressure and trials, the earthly branches 未 (Wèi) Earth of the major life cycle and yearly pillar contain 丁 (Dīng) Fire Resource Star and 乙 (Yǐ) Wood Direct Officer Star, forming Officer generating Resource Star, corresponding to the sign of holding real power and planning strategies. Simultaneously, the yearly auspicious stars gather the Heavenly Nobleman and National Seal Nobleman, symbolizing obtaining high-level support and official recognition, with decisive and authoritative decision-making. In this cycle and year, the life master, with the wisdom and strategy represented by the Resource Star and the decisiveness and boldness represented by the Seven Killings, achieved a monumental military feat under immense pressure.

In 1993, the yearly pillar was 癸酉 (Guǐ Yǒu), the final year of the 己酉 (Jǐ Yǒu) major life cycle. The astrological pattern this year was extremely special: the heavenly stem 癸 (Guǐ) Water (Direct Wealth) of the yearly pillar combines with the Day Master 戊 (Wù) Earth, and the earthly branch 酉 (Yǒu) Metal (Hurt Officer) combines with the Day Branch 辰 (Chén) Earth (Spouse Palace), forming a 'Heaven and Earth Double Combination'. This sign indicates receiving much support and is a mark of concluding important alliances and achieving historic cooperation. 癸 (Guǐ) Water is a favorable element, representing the Wealth Star of wisdom and strategy appearing, beneficial for major decisions and diplomatic mediation. However, while the yearly pillar's earthly branch 酉 (Yǒu) Metal combines with the Day Branch 辰 (Chén) Earth, it also intensifies the instability factor of the '辰戌冲 (Chén-Xū clash)' in the chart, and forms 酉酉自刑 (Yǒu-Yǒu Self-Punishment) with the major life cycle and yearly pillar. This means the accord concealed immense pressure, controversy, and risk behind it. The Hurt Officer Star is strong, granting him the boldness to break conventions and take risks, but the essence of the Seven Killings Pattern also foretells that this move would face unprecedented challenges and opposition.

This year, Rabin was in the 庚戌 (Gēng Xū) major life cycle. The heavenly stem 庚 (Gēng) Metal, the Resource Star, appears, which is favored by the chart, representing the ultimate expression of talent, wisdom, and reputation. The yearly pillar 甲戌 (Jiǎ Xū) has the heavenly stem 甲 (Jiǎ) Wood, the Seven Killings Star, an unfavorable element, but 甲 (Jiǎ) Wood is also the Temperance Element, representing immense pressure and challenge, as well as an opportunity for career achievement. The yearly pillar and the Day Pillar 戊辰 (Wù Chén) form a Heavenly Clash and Earthly Clash, a signal of a major life turning point, forcefully propelling the Day Master out of the old pattern and activating the entire chart. The earthly branches of the major life cycle, yearly pillar, and Day Pillar form 辰戌相冲 (Chén-Xū clash), creating a Triple Clash on the Wealth Treasury, indicating a decisive major event that pushes personal influence and career stature to its peak. The yearly auspicious star Heavenly Official Nobleman appears, indicating receiving the highest level of recognition and honor in career. This year, the Resource Star controlled the Killings, using wisdom and boldness to resolve immense pressure, ultimately achieving world-renowned accomplishment.

This year, the life master was in the 庚戌 (Gēng Xū) major life cycle. The earthly branch 戌 (Xū) of the major life cycle and the Day Pillar's earthly branch 辰 (Chén) form a 辰戌相冲 (Chén-Xū clash), violently impacting the Day Master's foundation and Spouse Palace, a strong signal of a major life change. The yearly pillar 乙亥 (Yǐ Hài) has the heavenly stem 乙 (Yǐ) Wood, the Direct Officer Star, appearing, which together with the Hour Pillar's 甲 (Jiǎ) Wood, the Seven Killings Star, in the original chart forms a mix of Officer and Kill Stars. Moreover, 乙 (Yǐ) Wood is an unfavorable element in the chart, representing immense external pressure, official troubles, and accidental harm. The earthly branch 亥 (Hài) Water of the yearly pillar combines with the Month Pillar's 寅 (Yín) Wood (寅亥合木 Yín-Hài combine into Wood), further enhancing the power of the Seven Killings, forming the dangerous situation of Seven Killings attacking the self. Simultaneously, the yearly pillar encounters the inauspicious stars Heavenly and Earthly Net, Robbery Spirit, and Vanishing Spirit, all indicating accidents, disasters, and life danger. The heavenly stems of the major life cycle and yearly pillar 庚乙相合 (Gēng-Yǐ combine), seemingly transforming Metal into a favorable element, but it is actually a Retreating Combination (退角合), achieving half the result with double the effort, greatly reducing auspicious power and making it difficult to avoid danger. Overall, the energy of the unfavorable element Wood (Seven Killings) was activated and concentrated multiple times by the major life cycle and yearly pillar, forming a powerful impact, which is the astrological core leading to this tragedy.
