Birth Time Verification

Judging Wu hour (noon) as the most suitable birth time. The Day Master Jia Wood already has a strong foundation, aided by Gui Water in the year and Mao Wood in the month. The Wu hour contains Geng metal, forming the Seven Killings pattern. Seven Killings indicate bravery, leadership, and battlefield decisiveness, which closely match Yue Fei's qualities as a commander leading troops to defeat enemies and enforcing strict military discipline. The Wu Fire also serves as a resource for Wood, reflecting both civil and martial talents, outward vigor, and steadfast loyalty and righteousness. The presence of Seven Killings also suggests potential clashes with authorities, being framed, and a tragic outcome harmed by power, consistent with Yue Fei's later recall and unjust execution. Compared with times associated with the Shishen (Eating God), the Shangguan (Hurting Officer), or simply Rob Wealth ( Jie Cai ), the Wu hour more fully accounts for both his brilliant military achievements, strict discipline, and experience of political persecution. Therefore, selecting Wu hour is the most historically aligned birth time.

Core Analysis

Yue Fei's natal chart centers on 甲日主 (Yang Wood daymaster, 甲子 day) interacting strongly with a 七杀 signal from the hour 庚午. The chart carries both protective 印綬 (癸, 壬 influences) and assertive 比劫/伤官 (乙卯、甲寅、大运比肩) elements, creating a composite 格局 of a martial leader who is personally independent, decisive and morally driven.

From the perspective of 五行 and 十神, the presence of 七杀 gives commanding military energy and courage; the concurrent 印 (正印/偏印) supplies moral conviction and resilience. The balance between 比劫 (peer support) and 印绶 (moral support) explains both his capacity to build the strong Yue family army and his tendency to prioritize duty over court politics.

大运 analysis matches historical events: supportive 癸丑 (1121–1130, 正印) and 壬子 (1131–1140, 偏印) phases correspond to his rise and battlefield successes; the arrival of 辛亥 (1141–1150, 正官) marks the turning point when official power constrained him and political danger increased, culminating in his removal and tragic death. Overall the chart reads as a heroic 七杀格 tempered by strong 印与比劫 — ideal for military leadership but vulnerable to bureaucratic suppression and intrigue.

Traits

1

Leadership and Command

High score due to prominent 七杀 and supportive 比劫; Bazi indicates natural authority, decisive action on battlefield and capacity to unify troops.

2

Loyalty and Moral Conviction

Excellent 印綬 support (癸、壬) highlights deep loyalty and moral purpose; explains famous 'serving country above self' temperament.

3

Strategic Acumen

Combination of 伤官/比劫 and 七杀 yields adaptive tactics and strong offensive planning, matching historical victories and successful campaigns.

4

Political Navigation

Lower score because tension between 七杀 aggression and incoming 正官 大运 reduces skill in court maneuvering, producing vulnerability to intrigue.

Marriage and Career Beginnings, Martial Prowess Emerges

At age sixteen, Yue Fei married Miss Liu under his family's arrangement, opening a new chapter in his life. To make a living, he worked for landlords, served as a local patrol officer, and apprenticed under Zhou Tong to learn archery, displaying exceptional martial talent and laying the groundwork for his future military service to the nation.

Analysis
This year, Yue Fei was in the Jia Yin Peer Influence Major Cycle. The Year Pillar was Wu Xu Partial Wealth. The Heavenly Stem of the Year, Wu Earth (Partial Wealth), is a favorable and harmonizing element for his chart, representing new opportunities and changes in life. Wu Earth combines with and activates the Gui Water (Zheng Yin) of the Year Pillar, stirring the family palace, hence the sign of a family-arranged marriage. Simultaneously, the Earthly Branch of the Year, Xu Earth, combines with the Month Branch Mao Wood, forming a Fire combination. Fire represents the Talent Star, signifying the display of skills and talent, corresponding to apprenticeship and showcasing martial arts. However, the Year Branch Xu clashes with the Year Branch Wei, forming a 'Clash with the Year's Branch', indicating environmental changes and pressure, also corresponding to his experience of moving around and taking different jobs to make a living. This year, the activation of both the Wealth Star and the Talent Star marks a key node for starting a family and initially establishing his life's direction.

Joining the Army and Showing Promise, First Test of Skill

Yue Fei enlisted in the 'Daring Warriors' unit under Liu Ge in Zhending Prefecture. For his bravery in battle, he was appointed as a squad leader. In the same year, he led a hundred cavalry in an ambush against bandits Tao Jun and Jia Jin, capturing both alive, demonstrating his initial military talent.

Analysis
This year, Yue Fei was in the Gui Chou Major Cycle. The Earthly Branch of the Major Cycle, Chou, combines with the Day and Hour Pillar branches Zi, activating the foundations of the Wealth Star and Authority/Killing Star. For a chart with a strong Day Master that benefits from control and drainage, this signals the emergence of a career platform and the acquisition of actual authority. The Year Pillar Ren Yin has its Earthly Branch Yin as the Traveling Horse, indicating change, travel, and action, corresponding to the sign of joining the army and heading to the battlefield. Meanwhile, the Heavenly Stem of the Year, Ren Water (Partial Seal), though an unfavorable element, has its Earthly Branch Yin Wood as the Lu (Prosperity) Star, enhancing the strength of the Jia Wood Day Master, making him brave and decisive on the battlefield. His Bazi chart itself is the supreme martial noble pattern of Blade Controlling the Killing. This year, the Major Cycle and Year Pillar activated the Authority/Killing and Wealth Stars, precisely reflecting the initial release of his pattern's energy and his first display of brilliance in the military.

Turning from Scholar to Soldier, First Taste of Battle

After completing the three-year mourning period for his father, Yue Fei resolutely joined the military in 1124 (the 6th year of Xuanhe). He served as a cavalryman in the Pingding Army of Hedong Circuit and was quickly promoted to a junior officer due to his ability, formally embarking on his journey to resist the Jin and serve the nation.

Analysis
This year, Yue Fei entered the Gui Chou Major Cycle. The Heavenly Stem of the Major Cycle, Gui Water (Zheng Yin), appears. Although it is an unfavorable element, it signifies mature thinking and loyalty, reflecting his state of mind after completing mourning and renewing his ambitions. The Year Pillar Jia Chen has the Heavenly Stem Jia Wood (Peer Influence) as unfavorable, and the Earthly Branch Chen Earth (Partial Wealth) as favorable, forming the 'Peer Influence sits on Wealth' pattern. This means he needed to rely on his own strength (Peer) to strive for a career platform (Wealth). More importantly, the Year Branch Chen Earth is a favorable element and half-combines with the Day and Hour Pillar branches Zi Water into a Water combination, activating the foundation of the Seven Killing (Geng Metal) which represents career and power. The Seven Killing is the core favorable element of his supreme martial noble pattern 'Blade Controlling the Killing'. The appearance of the Year's favorable element opened the door for his military path. The Earthly Branch of the Major Cycle, Chou Earth (Zheng Wealth), is also favorable and combines with the Day and Hour branches, indicating he could gain recognition and achieve success in the new environment (the army).

Joining the Military, Entering the Marshal's Headquarters

In the first year of Jingkang, with the nation in peril, Yue Fei formally joined Prince Kang (Zhao Gou)'s Marshal Headquarters of Hebei Military Forces on the first day of the twelfth month, serving under Zong Ze. This marked the official start of his magnificent military career against the Jin.

Analysis
This year, Yue Fei was 23, in the Gui Chou Zheng Yin Major Cycle, and the Year Pillar was Bing Wu (Food God). In fate analysis, the Major Cycle branch Chou combines with the Day Pillar branch Zi into Earth. Earth represents Zheng Wealth, signifying career platforms and wealth opportunities, indicating he found a new organization where he could establish himself and build achievements. The Yearly Heavenly Stem Bing Fire (Food God) appears. The Food God represents action, talent, and expression, and Fire is his favorable element, meaning his ambition to resist the Jin and his military talent could be displayed. Simultaneously, the Year Branch Wu echoes the Hour Pillar Wu, activating the Hour Pillar's Seven Killing and Heavenly Official Nobleman. The Seven Killing represents military positions, authority, and challenges; the Heavenly Official Nobleman signifies gaining official favor. This corresponds to his joining the military and receiving mentorship from the famous general Zong Ze. The Year Branch Wu clashes with the Day Pillar branch Zi. Though turbulent, it is also a strong signal of breaking his original life pattern and plunging into the torrent of the times.

Passionate Memorial Rejected, Ambition Unfulfilled

Emperor Gaozong of Song, Zhao Gou, ascended the throne in Yingtian Prefecture, changing the era name to Jianyan. Despite his low rank, Yue Fei resolutely submitted a lengthy memorial advocating for a northern expedition to retrieve the two captured emperors and vehemently criticizing the southern retreat policy of Huang Qianshan and others. This angered those in power, who reprimanded him for 'a petty official overstepping his authority,' dismissed him from the army, causing a major setback in his career.

Analysis
This year, Yue Fei was 24. The Gui Chou Major Cycle and the Ding Wei Year Pillar formed a severe and turbulent pattern of 'Heavenly Clash and Earthly Clash'. The Major Cycle Heavenly Stem Gui Water (Zheng Yin) clashes with the Yearly Heavenly Stem Ding Fire (Talent Star), forming a conflict of 'Talent Star clashes with Seal'. The Talent Star represents thought, speech, and rebellion; the Zheng Yin represents tradition, rules, and superiors. Yue Fei's outspoken memorial as a 'petty official' is an expression of his Talent Star nature, and clashing with the Zheng Yin means his words directly challenged the court's (superiors') established policies and authority, hence the demotion. Simultaneously, the Year Branch Wei Earth forms a mutual harm relationship with both the Day Branch Zi Water and Hour Branch Wu Fire, intensifying internal conflicts and damaging interpersonal relationships (ruler-subject relationship). The Yearly Huagai Star appears. While it signifies unique talent, it also tends to bring a sense of isolation and disagreement with mainstream opinion. Although his career suffered a setback this year, the Yearly Heavenly Stem Ding Fire (Talent Star), a favorable element, emerged. His fervent passion and exceptional insight were already showing, foreshadowing the legend of 'Utmost Loyalty to the Nation'.

Leading Scouts to Victory, First Display of Brilliance

At the end of the first year of Jianyan, Yue Fei, favored by Zong Ze, was appointed as a scout commander. He led five hundred cavalry deep into Sishui Pass to reconnoiter the enemy. He not only succeeded in the mission but also decisively attacked and defeated Jin troops encountered, returning triumphantly. This battle made him famous, and he was promoted to commander, soon rising to a higher command rank, officially becoming a general who could hold his own.

Analysis
This year, Yue Fei was in the Gui Chou Major Cycle, Year Pillar Ding Wei. The Yearly Heavenly Stem Ding Fire (Talent Star) appears, which is precisely the harmonizing element of his Bazi chart. It signifies display of talent, strong action, and wisdom and courage, highly beneficial for military reconnaissance and battlefield decisions. The Year Branch Wei Earth is the favorable Zheng Wealth, representing merit and reward. The Major Cycle and Year Pillar form a 'Heavenly Clash and Earthly Clash' (Gui-Ding clash, Chou-Wei clash), a signal of major life transition and breakthrough, where turbulence contains great opportunity. The Yearly auspicious stars Heavenly Virtue Nobleman and Heavenly Official Nobleman appear simultaneously, indicating favor and promotion from an important patron (Zong Ze), with relationships becoming key to career advancement. His Bazi's martial noble pattern of Blade Controlling the Killing received initial validation this year, with his brilliance beginning to show.

Repelling Jin Army at Sishui Pass with Strategy, Rising to Wugonglang

Yue Fei was ordered to defend Sishui Pass. Facing a Jin attack, he cleverly set up decoys and, when supplies were nearly exhausted, achieved a surprising victory, successfully repelling the enemy. This battle fully demonstrated his outstanding tactical ability. For his merit, he was promoted to Wugonglang, marking an important advancement in his military career.

Analysis
This year, Yue Fei was in the Gui Chou Zheng Yin Major Cycle, encountering the Wu Shen Year Pillar. The Year Branch Shen Metal is the Seven Killing, the most crucial favorable element of his Bazi pattern (Blade Controlling the Killing), representing authority, challenge, and opportunity. The strong Shen Metal is like a sharp axe carving his overly strong Wood nature, granting him the composure and decisiveness to remain calm in danger and defeat the enemy. The Yearly Heavenly Stem Wu Earth (Partial Wealth) combines with the Major Cycle Heavenly Stem Gui Water (Zheng Yin) (Gui-Wu combine into Fire), neutralizing the inertia and overthinking brought by the unfavorable Water (Seal Star). This allows his wisdom (Seal) to be efficiently transformed into practical action and military achievements (Wealth). Simultaneously, the Yearly auspicious stars include Heavenly Virtue Nobleman and State Seal, indicating invisible protection and that efforts gain official recognition. This corresponds to his image of establishing military merit through strategy and receiving promotion from the court.

First Victory at Qingshui Pavilion

Yue Fei achieved his first major victory at Qingshui Pavilion, thirty li south of Jiankang, killing countless Jin soldiers and leaving corpses strewn for fifteen li, turning the tide of battle and beginning the recovery of Jiankang.

Analysis
This year was the Geng Xu Year Pillar. The Heavenly Stem Geng Metal (Seven Killing) strongly appears, echoing the Hour Pillar's Seven Killing, forming a powerful Authority/Killing attacking the Day Master situation. The Seven Killing, a favorable element, represents authority, challenge, and decisive action, corresponding to battlefield achievements. The Year Branch Xu Earth is Partial Wealth, also favorable, able to generate and strengthen the Seven Killing, forming a Wealth generates strong Killing pattern. This means sufficient resources (troops, supplies) supported his achievements. Crucially, the Year Pillar and the Month Pillar Yi Mao form a Heaven and Earth double combination (Yi-Geng combine into Metal, Mao-Xu combine into Fire). The strong Rob Wealth (Peer) energy of the Month Pillar is successfully transformed into Metal (power) and Fire (fame) through combination, indicating he received much assistance and achieved glorious victory through teamwork. This battle perfectly demonstrated his supreme martial noble pattern of Blade Controlling the Killing when the Year's favorable elements were in place.

Yue Fei set an ambush at Niutou Mountain and, using surprise tactics, heavily defeated the main Jin forces under Wanyan Zongbi, successfully recovering Jiankang. This became the glorious starting point of his military career, greatly enhancing his prestige.

Analysis
This year's Pillar was Geng Xu. The Geng Metal Seven Killing appears in the Heavenly Stem, precisely the most favored element and ten god for his Blade Controlling the Killing pattern. The Seven Killing represents authority, challenge, and decisive action. The Yearly Geng Metal strongly clashes with the Jia Wood Day Master (Jia-Geng clash), like an axe striking a giant tree, activating his potential to establish authority through force and rise to the occasion. Simultaneously, the Year Branch Xu Earth and the Month Branch Mao Wood Mao-Xu combine into Fire, forming a Heaven and Earth double combination. Fire is the Talent Star, representing strategy and action. This combination transforms the power of the Month's Rob Wealth (comrades, subordinates) into wisdom and execution, corresponding to his clever ambush and victory against greater odds. The Yearly auspicious star State Seal appears, signifying official recognition and meritorious achievements. This battle not only recovered lost territory but also established his core position in the Southern Song military. It reflects the perfect outburst of his pattern's energy when all favorable elements (Metal, Fire, Earth) arrived together.

Inscribing Ambition at Wuyue Temple, Awaiting the Call to Arms

Yue Fei inscribed the 'Wuyue Ci Alliance Record' on a screen in Zhang Danian's house in Yixing. With the bold words 'deep into the enemy court, bind their leader and shed blood before my horse,' he declared his grand ambition to retrieve the two emperors and restore the Central Plains, a concentrated outburst of his personal aspiration and patriotic sentiment.

Analysis
This year was the final year of the Gui Chou Major Cycle. The Major Cycle branch Chou combines with the Day and Hour branches Zi, activating the chart's foundation. Though there was contemplation internally (Gui Water Zheng Yin), there was also stable support. The key astrological signal lies in the Geng Xu Year Pillar. The Yearly Heavenly Stem Geng Metal (Seven Killing) strongly clashes with the Jia Wood Day Master. This is precisely the 'tempering' most needed by the Blade Controlling the Killing pattern. The Seven Killing represents pressure, challenge, and military power, a force that ignited Yue Fei's intense fighting spirit and drive. Simultaneously, the Year Pillar and the Month Pillar Yi Mao form a Heaven and Earth double combination (Yi-Geng combine into Metal, Mao-Xu combine into Fire). The Month Pillar represents the sibling/comrade palace. This combination signifies receiving much help, and that his ambition could gain recognition and response from comrades. The Year Branch Xu is the Fire storage, containing Ding Fire (Talent Star), the ten god for expressing talent and ambition. Additionally, the Yearly auspicious star State Seal appears, indicating his oath and ambition would gain official-level recognition and endorsement. The interplay of multiple factors pushed his inner patriotic fervor to a peak moment of public declaration.

Bitter Victory, Gaining a Fierce General Amid Grief

Yue Fei led troops to suppress the rebel Cao Cheng in Hudong Circuit. In battle, his younger brother Yue Fan unfortunately died, causing him immense grief. However, prioritizing the greater good, he ultimately captured and subdued the enemy's fierce general Yang Zaixing, adding a formidable warrior to the Yue Family Army.

Analysis
This year coincided with the Ren Zi Major Cycle and Ren Zi Year Pillar, a 'Major Cycle and Year Pillar coincide' situation, a major life juncture where fortune and misfortune are amplified. Both the Major Cycle and Year Pillar are Ren Zi, with Heavenly Stem and Earthly Branch both being Water, the most unfavorable element for his chart (Water is the Seal Star, strong Wood dislikes Water), forming a powerful unfavorable energy field. This represents external pressure and internal contemplation reaching a peak, indicating events with ups and downs, mixed joy and sorrow. The Year Branch Zi Water clashes with the Month Pillar Mao Wood, indicating internal conflict and injury, corresponding to the pain of his brother's (Rob Wealth represents brothers) death in battle. However, his chart itself is the supreme martial noble pattern of Blade Controlling the Killing. The Hour Pillar Geng Metal Seven Killing is a favorable element, representing authority and conquest. The Yearly auspicious star General Star appears, enhancing his leadership and ability to control situations. Therefore, despite extremely unfavorable luck, he could still, relying on the fortitude and魄力 of his pattern, turn misfortune into fortune and subdue a fierce general (Seven Killing utilized, subduing enemy general), demonstrating extraordinary commanding temperament.

Northern Expedition, Recovering Six Prefectures in Xiangyang and Hanzhong

Yue Fei personally led 35,000 elite troops and, with thunderous momentum, crushed the puppet Qi general Li Cheng, recovering Xiangyang, Yingzhou, Suizhou, Tangzhou, Dengzhou, and Xinyang Army in one fell swoop. This was the first large-scale recovery of lost territory since the Southern Song's founding, greatly boosting military prestige.

Analysis
This year, he was in the Ren Zi Major Cycle (Partial Seal), Year Pillar Jia Yin (Peer Influence). Both the Major Cycle and Year Pillar are unfavorable Water and Wood, which in principle indicate overthinking and constrained action. However, his Bazi chart is a Blade Pattern. The core of the pattern lies in Blade Controlling the Killing; only by using the Killing to control the Blade can martial nobility be achieved. The Year Branch Yin Wood is the Day Master Jia Wood's Prosperity Star, also the Traveling Horse, indicating explosive action and battlefield奔波. More crucially, the Year Branch Yin contains Bing Fire (Food God) and Wu Earth (Partial Wealth). Bing Fire is the harmonizing element, able to drain the strong Wood energy. Wu Earth is a favorable element, able to control Water and stabilize the foundation. This is the simultaneous appearance of the harmonizing element and the pattern's favorable elements, forming the image of 'Prosperity and Horse galloping together, favorable elements in position', transforming an unfavorable Year Pillar into an excellent time to display General Star leadership and achieve military exploits. Although the Major Cycle and chart have the disturbance of Zi-Mao clash, the Year Pillar's powerful favorable energy successfully activated the supreme martial noble pattern of 'Blade and Killing in balance' within his chart, enabling him to achieve success in one battle and awe the world.

Pacifying Lake Bandits, Forging a Mighty Army

Yue Fei led troops to completely pacify the Yang Yao uprising at Dongting Lake, incorporating 60,000 elite able-bodied men. The Yue Family Army expanded to 100,000 troops, becoming the core military force most relied upon by the Southern Song court.

Analysis
This year, Yue Fei was in the Ren Zi Major Cycle, with both stems being the unfavorable element Water. An overly strong Seal Star indicates heavy contemplation and pressure. The Year Pillar Yi Mao echoes the Month Pillar, with Rob Wealth energy reaching its peak, the ultimate manifestation of the unfavorable Wood. This pattern indicates competition, expansion, and military integration. Yue Fei's chart is a Blade Pattern, with the Seven Killing as the favorable element, forming the 'Blade Controlling the Killing' pattern, inherently possessing the extraordinary魄力 to command armies and stop violence with force. The Year Branch Mao activates the Month Pillar's General Star, and the Major Cycle and Year Pillar also echo the General Star. This is precisely the moment his military leadership talent fully erupted and he established extraordinary achievements. Incorporating able-bodied men and expanding the army to 100,000 is a typical manifestation of Rob Wealth (peers, subordinates) power being strongly integrated and utilized. Although the luck aspect has many clashes and internal and external challenges, auspicious stars like Heavenly Virtue Nobleman and Fortune Star converge, enabling him to grasp key opportunities amidst dangerous and complex situations, turn resistance into assistance, and achieve a leap in military strength.

Decisive Victories at Yancheng and Yingchang, Shaking the Central Plains at Zhuxian Town

In the 10th year of Shaoxing, Yue Fei led the northern expedition. In the two key battles of Yancheng and Yingchang, he heavily defeated the main Jin forces under Wanyan Zongbi. Subsequently, pursuing the victory, his troops advanced to Zhuxian Town, only 45 li from Bianjing. The recovery of the Central Plains seemed within sight, shaking the world.

Analysis
This year's Pillar was Geng Shen. The Geng Metal Seven Killing appears in both Heavenly Stem and Earthly Branch, precisely the most needed harmonizing element and pattern-favorable element. The Seven Killing represents authority, army, and conquest. Its appearance activates the chart's core Blade Controlling the Killing pattern. The Yearly Geng Metal joins forces with the Hour Pillar's Geng Metal, double Killing present, greatly increasing strength. It also combines with the Month Pillar's Yi Wood Rob Wealth Yi-Geng combine into Metal, transforming Killing into authority. This means the powerful external pressure (Jin army) could be turned into an opportunity for his own achievements. The Earthly Branch Shen-Zi half-combines into Water is unfavorable, but here it instead strengthens the global flow of Metal generating Water, Water generating Wood, making the Jia Wood Day Master's (Yue Fei's) foundation (army, morale) extremely vigorous. The Yearly auspicious star State Seal echoes the chart's General Star, signifying holding military power and gaining official recognition; Heavenly Virtue Nobleman provides hidden protection. Therefore, the strong and favorable Seven Killing this year corresponds to his brilliant record of commanding a large army and achieving successive victories with fierce offensives.

Recalled by Golden Edicts, Stripped of Military Command

Emperor Gaozong and Qin Hui strongly advocated for peace, issuing twelve consecutive golden edicts recalling Yue Fei to the court. After returning, Yue Fei was relieved of his military command and transferred to the nominal post of Deputy Military Commissioner, effectively sidelined.

Analysis
This year, he entered the Xin Hai Major Cycle, with the Heavenly Stem revealing Zheng Guan (Proper Authority), originally a sign of a new career platform. However, the Year Pillar Xin You and the chart's Month Pillar Yi Mao form a Heavenly Clash and Earthly Clash, an extremely severe impact. The Month Pillar Yi Mao is the strong root of the Blade (Rob Wealth), representing his military command and subordinate foundation. The double Xin Metal Authority/Killing coming to clash corresponds precisely to the court (Authority/Killing) forcefully confiscating his military command (Blade). Simultaneously, the Major Cycle, Year Pillar, and Month Pillar Hai-Mao-Wei triple-combine into Wood, which is the chart's unfavorable element. The Rob Wealth power is unprecedentedly strong, indicating being surrounded by petty people, colleague rivalry, and陷入利益纷争. The Year Branch You Metal, though favorable, clashes with the Month Branch. When favorable elements clash, they become a source of turmoil instead. This year, the pattern shifted from the balanced state of 'Blade Controlling the Killing' to the激烈对抗 of 'Authority/Killing clashing with the Blade', a major career turning point in life.
