From Tsinghua’s physics department and a study-abroad scholarship program initiated by Tsung-Dao Lee, to a PhD at MIT, then founding Sohu and taking it public—Zhang Chaoyang’s path has certainly covered a lot of ground. Today, rather than fitting rumors to his birth chart, I’ll look at what may lie ahead based only on his publicly available birth date.

Public records state that he was born in Xi’an, Shaanxi, on October 31, 1964. Using the Gregorian calendar, the three pillars are Jia Chen, Jia Xu, and Gui Chou. His birth time has not been verified, so I won’t fill in an hour pillar or make definitive claims about the chart’s strength, favorable elements, or unfavorable elements.

Gui Water is the Day Master, and both Jia stems are Hurting Officers. In traditional terminology, the Hurting Officer tends to be associated with self-expression, ideas, and not being bound by old frameworks. This is only a symbolic interpretation in BaZi, not a definitive judgment about his personality. Ji in Chou is a Seven Killings star, not a Proper Officer; no conclusions about real-life relationships can be drawn from this.

Using the common method of arranging the cycles forward for a male born in a Yang year, with three days counting as one year, his first major cycle would begin at around age two years and three to seven months. Geng Chen is followed by Xin Si, with the cycle change roughly estimated to occur around 2027. Geng is a Proper Resource, and Xin is an Indirect Resource. Without a verified birth time, I won’t state the exact transition date, much less claim that a real-life turning point is inevitable.

Over the next three months, these are the points I’ll be watching. The monthly pillars change at the solar terms, not on the first of each Gregorian month. All dates below are in Beijing time:

① From the Start of Winter on November 7, 2026, until just before Major Snow on December 7, the month is Ji Hai. Ji is a Seven Killings star; Hai contains Ren, a Rob Wealth star, and Jia, a Hurting Officer. It may be worth paying closer attention to partnership terms, division of responsibilities, and how things are expressed. Read contracts an extra time or two.

② From after Major Snow on December 7 until just before Minor Cold on January 5, 2027, the month is Geng Zi. Geng is a Proper Resource, and Zi contains Gui, a Friend star. Zi clashes with Wu. Leave some room for nuance in public statements, especially when it comes to money and investments; don’t present an assessment as a guarantee.

③ From after Minor Cold on January 5 until just before the Start of Spring on February 4, the month is Xin Chou. Xin is an Indirect Resource. Chou shares the same earthly branch as the Day Branch; this is not a full-pillar repetition. This could be a useful time to review old arrangements, accounts, and divisions of responsibility.

Looking further ahead, each of the following years begins at that year’s Start of Spring:

2027, Ding Wei: Ding is an Indirect Wealth star, and Wei clashes with Chou. From a traditional perspective, it may be worth paying closer attention to resource allocation and changes to arrangements. First, get the accounts, rights, and responsibilities down in writing.

2028, Wu Shen: Wu is a Proper Officer, not a Seven Killings star. The reminder here is more about processes, responsibilities, and rules; don’t rely too much on unspoken understandings in partnerships.

2029, Ji You: Ji is the Seven Killings star. Pay attention to pressure and the pace of execution; don’t jump straight to conclusions about regulatory action.

2030, Geng Xu: Geng is a Proper Resource. Xu shares the same earthly branch as the Month Branch in the original chart, but this is not a full-pillar repetition either. Consider whether existing arrangements need adjusting; don’t assume there will be a major shake-up or other upheaval.

These are only reminders based on traditional BaZi, not factual claims that he has already had disputes, will face legal trouble, or is certain to experience upheaval.

Personal views on traditional BaZi; for reference only

In 1995, he borrowed 2.5 million to open a battery factory in Shenzhen. Later, when he started making cars, people outside mocked him: “What does a battery factory know about cars?” — now he sells over a million vehicles overseas every year, and the people laughing are a different group.

His BaZi pillars are Bing Wu, Geng Yin, and Yi Si (born February 15, 1966, in Wuwei, Anhui; the birth hour was not made public, so this is based on the three pillars only). The Yi wood day master is born in the Yin month; wood in spring already has roots. The Geng metal Seven Killings on the month pillar presses down like authority and rules hanging overhead. The year pillar Bing Wu, with Food God and Hurting Officer together, is about products, technology, and turning hard things into stories — the “technology reservoir” line BYD is known for was already written into the chart.

Right now he is in the Bing Shen decade luck. Bing is still Food God, and Shen hides Seven Killings: as technology is pushed outward, regulation, trade, and contract wording also tighten.

Looking ahead at a few key points:

This whole year is Bing Wu, exactly matching his year pillar, which is called Fu Yin. Public standing and the business framework can easily create “echoes” — lots of news, lots of comparisons, and every move outside gets measured against past achievements. My inclination is that this year is better for protecting the core business and avoiding overly ambitious long-term slogans.

This November, the Ji Hai month, the indirect wealth star shows up; overseas expansion profit splits, joint ventures, and large-scale cooperation topics are likely to come to the table. The Hai water Direct Seal also appears, so don’t be careless with behind-the-scenes messaging and documents.

December, the Geng Zi month, is tighter. The Geng of the monthly cycle stacks with the Seven Killings on the month pillar; trade frictions, export rules, and public statements related to regulation are better handled cautiously, and contract terms should be reviewed twice.

Next January, the Xin Chou month, the Direct Officer stacks with Chou earth, making it suitable for settling internal accounts and consolidating the organization, but not for opening new battlefields.

In 2027, Ding Wei brings out the Hurting Officer. Product storytelling and statements about technical routes are likely to be challenged; who really has the say in the team and among partners may also be brought onto the stage. If the “amazing technology” he mentioned does land, remember to manage the risks of overclaiming at the same time.

In 2028, Wu Shen overlaps with the Shen pillar of the decade luck and forms Fu Yin. Direct Wealth gives birth to Seven Killings — before signing for overseas factories, joint ventures, or licensing, leave extra room for flexibility, and make sure the contracts and local regulatory language are examined carefully.

In 2029, Ji You combines indirect wealth with the Direct Officer. Brand elevation and public positioning will likely move up another notch, with money and rules arriving together.

For a wood person moving through fire and metal luck, protect the liver, gallbladder, and sleep; don’t trade your health for hype by working nonstop.

Traditional fortune-telling personal opinion, for reference only

Li Yanhong's birthday is about three weeks away. He started out with a search box, and now he's betting on Wenxin, Intelligent Cloud, and Apollo Go. From the outside, it looks like he's trying to "get back into the top tier"—but the chart tells a different story.

His BaZi pillars are Wu Shen, Gui Hai, and Xin Mao (November 17, 1968, Yangquan, Shanxi; his birth time has not been made public, so I'm only looking at the three known pillars). The Xin Metal Day Master was born in the Hai month, where the seasonal influence is a strong current of Hurting Officer Water. Hurting Officer governs products, changing the rules, and making happen what others couldn't. The day branch sits on Mao, with Indirect Wealth beneath it—money and project opportunities are always in the picture. The year pillar, Wu Shen, has Direct Resource sitting on Shen: strong backing and deep roots. He may seem steady, but the chart's resources have always been supporting him from below.

He's currently in the Ji Si 10-year luck cycle. Ji is Indirect Resource, governing things like tech stacks, knowledge systems, and AI—things that "put the mind into machines." Si Fire contains Direct Officer, and it clashes directly with the Hai in his natal chart. The foundations of innovation, the narrative around older products, and established partnership frameworks have all been in flux over the past few years. When Hurting Officer meets an Officer-and-Resource luck cycle, the biggest risk isn't having no cards to play; it's making promises that are too grand and pushing too hard, too fast.

Looking ahead at a few key points:

From after Start of Winter in November through around his birthday this year (the Ji Hai month), Hai Water repeats the energy of his birth month. Product messaging, partnership documents, and the public narrative may be revised repeatedly. Ji Earth, the Indirect Resource, is also showing itself, so I lean toward holding back on statements about the tech roadmap for now—make things clear before pushing ahead.

December (the Geng Zi month): Rob Wealth appears in the stem, so how resources are divided and where attention is invested may come to the forefront. Before the end of the year, it wouldn't hurt to review budget guidelines and revenue-sharing terms twice.

2027, Ding Wei: Seven Killings comes to the fore. External contracts, regulatory positions, and the boundaries of authorization will need room for maneuver this year. It's not that there are no opportunities; it's that both the terms and the public narrative will be more easily taken up and reinterpreted by others.

2028, Wu Shen: this exactly repeats his year pillar, as if the original set of cards is being laid out again. The brand's core identity, the search business's foundations, and whether to publicly shift gears will likely go through a round of scrutiny from the outside. I lean toward shoring up the structure first, then planning the next move.

2029, Ji You: Indirect Resource pairs with You Metal, its prosperity position. How to turn the tech narrative into revenue, and which parts to bring out and tell as a standalone story, may look like restructuring from the outside; in the chart, it looks more like a harvest phase.

For someone with a Metal Day Master, Fire is in charge during these years. Take care of your lungs and throat, and don't trade sleep for attention by working nonstop.

Traditional Chinese destiny analysis—my personal take, for reference only

Ma Huateng’s birthday is the day after tomorrow. From QQ’s chubby penguin to WeChat, which almost everyone now has, Tencent has changed the way Chinese people chat twice. From the outside, you see an empire; the chart tells a different story.

His BaZi is Xin Hai, Wu Xu, Ding Hai (October 29, 1971; from Chaoshan, Guangdong, born in Hainan. His birth time has not been made public, so I’m looking at only the three known pillars). His Ding Fire Day Master was born in the Xu month, whose monthly branch is a mass of dry earth associated with the Hurting Officer: the Hurting Officer governs products, changing the rules, and accomplishing what others couldn’t. Both his year and day pillars are Hai, known as “double Hai stacked together.” The water runs deep; both the Direct Officer and Direct Resource are buried beneath it. He may seem quiet, but power and helpful connections in his chart are always in motion.

He is currently in the Gui Si luck cycle. Gui is Seven Killings, and Si Fire happens to clash with the two Hai in his chart: people at the foundation, old agreements, and the old landscape have all been shifting in recent years. When the Hurting Officer in the month branch meets a Seven Killings luck cycle, the biggest thing to guard against isn’t running out of moves—it’s making overly sweeping statements or delegating authority too quickly.

Looking ahead at a few key points:

After the Start of Winter this November (the Ji Hai month), Hai water repeats the branches in his year and day pillars. Shareholder agreements, behind-the-scenes messaging, and partnership documents may be revised repeatedly. Ji Earth, the Eating God, is also exposed, so I’d lean toward taking a more restrained public stance on product lines for now.

In December (the Geng Zi month), Direct Wealth is exposed. Topics like large inflows and outflows of money, investment, and mergers and acquisitions may come to the table. Before year-end, it won’t hurt to read the contract terms and profit-sharing arrangements twice.

In 2027, Ding Wei, the Peer star is exposed, and Wei Earth clashes with the Xu in the month branch. Who calls the shots among those around him, and the relative influence of veterans and newcomers, may come to the fore that year. It’s also the tail end of the Gui Si luck cycle, so I’d lean toward stabilizing the structure first, then discussing the next move.

The Ren Chen luck cycle begins in 2028, with the Direct Officer in command, and it coincides with the Wu Shen year—the flavor of Hurting Officer clashing with Direct Officer is at its strongest. External contracts, regulatory messaging, and the boundaries of delegated authority will need the most room for maneuver that year.

In 2029, Ji You, the Eating God pairs with the Wealth star. There will likely be a public shift in how the business lines are divided and which parts are monetized. From the outside it may look like a restructuring; in the chart, it looks more like a harvest cycle.

With two Hai waters in a Fire-type person’s chart, and Si clashing with Hai in these years, take care of your heart and sleep. Don’t trade round-the-clock work for attention.

What if Bitcoin has an element?

In Chinese metaphysics, the universe is interpreted through five elements:
🌳 Wood — Growth
🔥 Fire — Energy
🌍 Earth — Stability
⚔️ Metal — Structure
💧 Water — Flow

Now imagine applying this ancient framework to cryptocurrency.
➣ Is Bitcoin Metal because it's digital gold?
➣ Or Fire because it represents technological transformation?

Welcome to Crypto BaZi, lets explore digital assets through ancient Chinese philosophy.

No magic trading signals. Just a fascinating new way to look at crypto.

Which element do YOU think represents Bitcoin?
#bitcoin #crypto #Bazi

The head of Microsoft has just turned its own chip into a multi-gigawatt wager—Maia is set to scale to multiple gigawatts starting next year, and he has openly said AI needs to leave humans an “emergency brake” they can hit. The person at the helm is Satya Nadella.

He was born on August 19, 1967, in Hyderabad, India. His birth time hasn’t been made public, so we can only look at the year, month, and day pillars: Ding-Wei, Wu-Shen, and Yi-Mao. In BaZi terms, his Day Master is “Yi Wood”—wood wants to grow upward, but fears being cut down by metal. He was born in the Shen month, when metal is at its strongest, and the month stem also reveals Wu Earth, the “Direct Wealth” star: money and pressure arrive together, like carrying wealth while also having to bear a blade. Hidden in Shen is Geng Metal, the “Seven Killings” star, making power and the feeling of being watched two sides of the same coin. Fortunately, the ten-year luck cycle that began in 2021 is “Ren-Yin”: Ren is the “Eating God” star, which can temper that pressure through storytelling, products, and roadmaps. Azure, the OpenAI partnership, and now in-house silicon—one initiative after another has kept him riding the wave.

If you’re also in a position where you’re making a big bet of your own while everyone else is waiting for you to hit the brakes, remember this: the more boldly you’re willing to raise the stakes, the slower you should be with contracts and public messaging.

A few milestones to watch:

This November, the “Indirect Wealth” star comes to the fore. Large sums moving in and out, partnership revenue splits, and public narratives are likely to cluster in the headlines—take an extra breath before signing.

In December, the “Seven Killings” star appears in the heavenly stem and clashes with the “Hurting Officer” star. I’d expect regulatory messaging, compute contracts, and public statements to converge. Read everything twice before putting pen to paper.

In January next year, the “Direct Officer” star overlaps with Chou Earth. Documents, audits, and internal personnel matters could come to a head. It’s a good time to wrap things up, not to make bold threats.

In 2027, the “Indirect Resource” star overlaps with the year branch Wei in a “Fu Yin” repetition. Internal backing and organizational personnel matters look likely to go through another round of changes.

In 2028, the chart features Shen—the same as the month branch. This is called “Fu Yin.” Compute and chip contracts, control, and regulatory messaging are the areas to watch most carefully that year.

In 2029, Wealth and Officer stars appear together. Statements and revenue-sharing clauses could be taken out of context; it’s also time to watch what you say as this ten-year luck cycle draws to a close. Around years when Fire is strong, protect your sleep and routine, and don’t push yourself too hard while traveling.

Google’s CEO just admitted: its cloud business would rather make less money in the short term than give up computing capacity needed for AI. As Gemini scales up, there won’t be enough computing power to go around, and it may be hard to take on new contracts in 2027. Alphabet’s stock has been wavering this week, too. The person at the helm is Sundar Pichai.

He was born on June 10, 1972, in Madurai, India. His birth time hasn’t been made public, so we can only look at the three pillars based on his year, month, and day: Ren-Zi, Bing-Wu, and Ren-Shen. In BaZi, his Day Master is Ren Water—water needs to flow and find an outlet. But he was born in the Wu month, the time of year when fire is at its strongest, and Bing Fire, the “Seven Killings” star, is also visible in the month stem. Power and pressure arrive together, like someone trying to steer a ship while being scorched by fire. Fortunately, the Shen Metal branch sits beneath his day pillar and contains a Resource star, as if technology and systems help sustain him. Chrome, Android, and then Google as a whole: one product line after another helped carry him upward. The decade-long Xin-Hai luck cycle began in 2021. Xin is the Direct Resource, representing rules and support; so even when fire years run hot, the chart still has a Resource star to lean on.

If you’re also someone being watched and pressured to burn through resources while riding a wave of opportunity, remember this: the better the books look and the more people press you from the outside, the slower you should be to sign off or make public statements.

A few milestones to watch:

This November, the Hurting Officer comes to the fore. AI narratives, product road maps, and public statements are likely to be quoted out of context. Saying one less bold thing now is cheaper than cleaning up a mess later.

In December, Zi clashes with Wu. Large sums flowing in and out will collide with pressure from authority. I’d expect terms involving partnership revenue-sharing and computing-capacity contracts to pile up. Read everything twice before putting pen to paper.

In January next year, the Direct Resource combines with Chou Earth. Paperwork, audits, and internal personnel matters could all come due. It’s a good time to wrap things up, not to make threats.

2027 is a Direct Officer year, and it also harms the year branch. Regulatory positions, antitrust issues, and contract terms look likely to come under closer scrutiny.

In 2028, the chart brings another Shen, matching the day branch. This is called Fu Yin. Big moves involving product lines or organizational structure seem especially likely that year.

In 2029, the Hurting Officer appears again alongside Metal. Statements and road maps may be taken out of context. It’s also time to mind what you say before this decade of Resource luck comes to an end. Around the years when fire is strong, protect your sleep and routine, and don’t push yourself too hard when traveling for work.

Traditional destiny-analysis opinions; for reference only.

At an internal OpenAI meeting last week, Sam Altman laid out three paths: international regulation like the kind governing nuclear power plants; all the labs merging into one giant lab; or one company melting its rivals’ compute into oblivion. He also said they’d have to choose one of these three safety paths within a year. The company’s IPO has been pushed back, too. What does the birth chart of the person behind ChatGPT look like?

He was born in Chicago on April 22, 1985. His birth time isn’t public, so we can only look at the three pillars for his birth year, month, and day: Yi Chou, Geng Chen, Xin Mao. In traditional Chinese astrology, his Day Master is “Xin Metal”—like a sharp blade. There’s a lot of wood beside the blade (Yi Wood and Mao Wood), and wood represents money and resources, so throughout his life he won’t be short of projects or funding. But there’s also a “Geng Metal” right beside him, like industry peers or people close to him. Money may come quickly, but it can also be divided up or snatched away by others. The ten-year period starting in 2020 has “Bing Fire” pressing down on “Zi Water” in his chart: fire represents pressure and authority, while water represents speech and public opinion. The boardroom turmoil, public statements, and clashes with regulators all fall within this decade.

If you’re also someone with a lot of money who’s under pressure right now, remember this: positions can come quickly, but take your time before signing or making a public statement. Don’t act on impulse and create problems for later.

Looking ahead at a few key points:

This November, the pressure eases a little, making it a good time to align things internally. The window for choosing one of the three safety paths “within a year” starts to close before year-end. I’m inclined to think he’ll float the idea first, then make the call.

In December, public opinion and funding terms could become tricky, and issues like internal trust may get blown out of proportion. Saying one less harsh thing is better than offering one more explanation.

Next January, issues involving people around him and how credit and blame are divided will likely surface, and his routine may get disrupted, too.

In 2027, paperwork related to compliance, contracts, and IPO preparations will pile up. Go over legal matters and contract terms a couple more times before signing.

In 2028, how the company divides authority and what it says publicly will likely come up for discussion again.

2029 is the year to be most careful about in this stretch: making the wrong call on a major investment or falling out with a key partner both seem more likely that year. Around years with strong fire energy, take care of your lungs and respiratory tract.

Jensen Huang is still touring Europe this week, saying, “AI isn’t a bubble; orders are coming in every day,” while preparing his keynote for GTC Berlin on October 21. Nvidia is also due to report its third-quarter earnings on November 17. What does the chart of the person at the helm of the world’s most valuable company look like?

His BaZi pillars are Gui Mao, Jia Yin, and Xin Mao (born February 17, 1963, in Tainan; his birth time hasn’t been made public, so we’re looking at only three pillars). The Xin Metal Day Master was born in the month of Yin. Mao in the year pillar, Mao below the day stem, and Jia Yin in the month pillar—his chart is full of Wood, which represents wealth for Xin Metal. This is called “abundant wealth, weak self”: money is everywhere, but you need to be strong enough to handle it. For the past decade, he’s been in the Wu Shen 10-year luck cycle. Wu Earth represents support, while Shen Metal provides a root—just what he needed to shore himself up. Over that same decade, Nvidia transformed from a graphics-card maker into a tollbooth for AI.

If you’re also a Xin Metal born in spring, remember this: opportunities are never in short supply. What’s scarce is the strength—in yourself and your team—to bear the load. Build yourself up first, then go after the big contracts.

Here are a few milestones to watch:

This November (Ji Hai month), Hai Water, the “Hurting Officer,” combines with Yin and Mao to form a strong Wood presence, making the wealth star even stronger. The November 17 earnings report will most likely still look good. But with the Hurting Officer coming to the fore, his words could easily be singled out and stirred into controversy. He’s been talking a lot lately; this month, saying less is better than saying more.

December (Geng Zi month): Geng Metal, the “Rob Wealth” star, comes to the fore, and Zi and Mao clash. Around year-end, watch out for competitors poaching orders, major customers pushing down prices, or the company diverting resources to develop its own chips. Relations with partners may get a little strained.

2027, Ding Wei: His 10-year luck cycle shifts to Ding Wei, and the annual pillar is also Ding Wei. Two “Seven Killings” stars arrive together to overcome Xin Metal. This is the year to be most cautious: legal and regulatory troubles—such as regulatory scrutiny, export controls, antitrust issues, and contract disputes—are likely to pile up. Signatures and public statements should all get an extra review. Xin Metal is vulnerable to Fire, so take care of the lungs, respiratory tract, and skin.

2028, Wu Shen: Yin and Shen clash with the month pillar. The company’s foundations are shaken, and major organizational changes and succession are likely to come up for discussion.

2029, Ji You: You Metal clashes with both Mao branches, striking the wealth star. Some of the company’s major investments—after all, it invested $8 billion in Europe alone over the past year—may turn out to have been misjudgments. There may also be changes among key people around him.

Traditional fortune-telling, personal opinion only; for reference.

This week’s prediction roundup. Starting this week, I’ll keep a record of every prediction and review them one by one when the time comes—showing both the hits and the misses.

First, one that came true: On October 12, I read a chart for Jeffrey Huang, aka “Machi Big Brother.” The prediction said, “June and October this year will be the tightest months; we’re in October now.” Three days later, all of his positions were liquidated. To be honest, he was only about 1.5% away from the liquidation threshold that day. This one was inferred from the chart, so it wasn’t especially difficult to call.

Here are a few new predictions from this week. The dates haven’t arrived yet, so none can be counted as a hit or a miss:
Dawn: Her November tour revenue this year will likely be better than expected, and there may be a last-minute change to her December schedule or a contract.
Zhang Yiming: Be careful with contract terms and the way overseas regulators interpret things in December; there will be changes among the people around him in January next year.
California Governor Gavin Newsom: For the November 3 vote on Proposition 40, I lean toward the result being more favorable to him than his critics expect, but any win will come with strings attached. In December, the budget figures will draw some harsh criticism.
Li Ka-shing: There will be disagreements among those around him this year, so it’s best to hold off on major moves. In 2027, take it slow with the family succession and major signings.

The next checkpoint is California’s November 3 vote. Once the results are out, we’ll review the prediction.

Which one would you most like me to keep an eye on? You can also suggest someone else in the comments. Follow me for updates.

Fans called out Leon Lai in the comments, asking to see him—so we’ve got him lined up for tonight. The youngest of the Four Heavenly Kings is still taking his ROBBABA tour from city to city: Changzhou on November 14, Zhengzhou on November 21, and Shenzhen on December 5.

His BaZi pillars are Bing-Wu, Geng-Zi, and Jia-Chen (born on December 11, 1966, in Beijing; his birth time hasn’t been made public, so we’re only looking at the three known pillars). Jia Wood is the Day Master, born in the month of Zi, in the depths of winter. What it needs most is that cluster of Bing Fire in the year pillar. Bing-Wu represents Eating God and Hurting Officer, which govern talent and self-expression—and they’ve been his bread and butter for forty years. Last year, he entered the Bing-Wu 10-year luck cycle, and this year is also a Bing-Wu year. With Fire coming in one after another, these are some of the best years for turning his talents into income.

But too much Fire comes at a cost. Wu Fire repeatedly clashes with the Zi Water in the month pillar. Zi Water is his Resource Star, governing contracts and paperwork, as well as the foundation of his health.

If you’re also Jia Wood born in winter, remember this: Fire is your bread and butter, and Water is your root. No matter how good the bread and butter is, don’t let it burn your roots dry.

Looking ahead at a few key periods:

This November (the Ji-Hai month), Ji Earth, the Direct Wealth star, combines with the Day Master. Tour revenue and income are likely to be better than people expect, and the Changzhou and Zhengzhou shows will probably be crowd-pleasers.

December (the Geng-Zi month): the month pillar repeats his natal month pillar, a pattern known as Fu Yin. Geng Metal, the Seven Killings star, comes to the fore again, and the Zi-Wu clash is activated. Around the end of the year, there will likely be a last-minute change to his schedule or contract paperwork. He should take care of his voice and sleep, and not push himself through back-to-back shows.

In 2027, Ding-Wei, Hurting Officer comes through in the Heavenly Stem, while Wei in the Earthly Branch secretly harms the Zi Water in the month pillar. The main thing to watch out for that year is controversy: a remark could be clipped into a short video and spread, or a business partner could be polite in public but at odds behind the scenes. I’d lean toward saying less and singing more that year.

In 2028, Wu-Shen, the Shen-Zi-Chen combination forms a Water frame, bringing the Resource stars together. Helpful people and recognition will come his way, and he may receive a prestigious honor or title. But Wu Earth, the Indirect Wealth star, sits on Seven Killings: Wealth generates Killings. He should be cautious with investments and joint ventures, which could become a burden, and read the terms carefully before signing.

In 2030, Geng-Xu, Chen and Xu clash in the Day Branch, activating the Wealth star in his seat. There will likely be a major business asset sale or purchase, or a restructuring. The question of who calls the shots among business partners could come to a head that year.

With a Zi-Wu clash in the chart, he should take care of his heart and sleep over the long term. Don’t trade sleep for performance.

Who should we look at next? Name them in the comments, and follow me for more.

Traditional metaphysical interpretation; personal opinion for reference only.

According to Bloomberg’s latest estimates, Zhang Yiming’s net worth has topped $105 billion, making him Asia’s richest person. He’s only 43, and stepped down as CEO back in 2021.

His BaZi chart is Gui Hai, Yi Mao, Ji Wei (April 1, 1983, Longyan, Fujian; his birth time hasn’t been made public, so this reading is based on the three known pillars). Hai, Mao, and Wei form a strong Wood combination, and for a Ji Earth Day Master, all that Wood represents Seven Killings. Seven Killings symbolize authority, but also a heavy burden. With such a strong Seven Killings structure, the biggest mistake is to shoulder everything yourself in the spotlight. In 2021, the Xin Chou year, Xin Metal—the Eating God—emerged to control the Seven Killings. That was the year he stepped back from the front lines while retaining his voting rights. This year, Bing Wu, Fire transforms the Seven Killings, and his net worth has surged to a new high.

If your chart has strong Seven Killings, take a page from his book: don’t always be the one charging ahead.

A few milestones to watch:

This December (the Geng Zi month), Zi Water clashes with the Wu Fire that’s been helping him transform the Seven Killings this year, while Geng Metal, the Hurting Officer, also comes to the fore. Before year-end, be careful with contract terms and how overseas regulators frame things. Speak too hastily, and your words could be used against you.

Next January (the Xin Chou month), Chou clashes with Wei in the Day Branch. There will likely be changes among the people around him, and his routine could also be disrupted.

2027, Ding Wei: Fire and Earth both support him, making this the smoothest year in several. He can take bigger bets on new businesses.

2028, Wu Shen, is the year to be most cautious. Wu Earth, the Rob Wealth, combines with and carries off Gui Water, the Indirect Wealth, in the Year Pillar, while Shen Metal, the Hurting Officer, further attacks the Seven Killings. People with this combination should watch out for three things: disputes over equity and profit-sharing with partners; trouble with overseas contracts and regulation; and misjudging an investment. I’d lean toward playing defense before going on the offensive that year.

2029, Ji You: Mao and You clash in the Month Branch, so the group structure will likely undergo a major reshuffle or consolidation.

With Wood strongly suppressing Earth, people with this kind of chart should take care of their digestive health over the long term. Don’t trade sleep for productivity.

When he was 14, someone read Li Ka-shing’s face and said his eyes looked lifeless and he was so thin and frail that he’d never amount to much. At the time, he was coughing up blood, yet he insisted on dropping out of school to become an apprentice, refusing to take support from his uncle. He’s 98 this year, and what I want to look at is the next few years.

His BaZi pillars are Wu Chen, Ji Wei and Geng Wu (his birth hour hasn’t been made public, so we’re only looking at the three pillars). The classic texts call this “earth burying metal”: four earth elements weigh down a piece of metal. Earth represents backing and protection; the longer you rely on it, the more deeply the metal gets buried. This kind of chart calls for “abandoning the Resource and pursuing Wealth”—leaving the safety net and making your own way out in the world, so the metal can finally emerge. So that departure at 14 wasn’t bad luck; it was a step his destiny called for. The earlier he left, the earlier he could shine. Looking ahead on that basis, there are four key points.

There are just over two months left in this Bing Wu year. The Wu in the year clashes with the Wu in his Day Branch; this is called self-punishment, a struggle with oneself. People around him may find it hard to agree before the end of the year, so it’s best to take major moves slowly.

In 2027, the Ding Wei year, both Fire and Earth reach their peak, pressing down on his Metal more tightly than ever. It will be the most stifling year of this period. Family succession, dividing assets and signing major agreements should all be handled slowly rather than hastily. He should also take extra care of his lungs.

By contrast, the 2028 Wu Shen year brings some relief. Shen is the root of Metal, and it also combines with the Chen in his Year Branch to generate Water. With Metal and Water flowing together, the chart is at its smoothest that year. There’s a good chance of a major move that surprises outsiders.

In the 2030 Geng Xu year, Chen and Xu clash, striking the Year Pillar, which represents ancestral wealth. The old business that got him started, or the structure of the group, may undergo a major adjustment. From the outside it may look like a disruption, but it’s more like a changing of the guard.

As for his face, he has a round, full nose and a well-rounded chin. Physiognomy texts say these features indicate someone who can hold on to wealth and remain influential in later life. So the challenges over the next few years are more likely to involve people and affairs than money.

Machi Big Brother Huang Licheng was completely liquidated on Hyperliquid. On-chain data from Lookonchain this morning: four months ago, his account had just $56,000. Trading perpetuals, he grew it to a peak of $12.25 million. Now he has only $21,800 left.

I read his chart on October 12. At the time, I wrote, “June and October are the toughest months this year, and we’re in October now.” Three days later, his account was practically wiped out.

Let’s look at his chart again (1972.11.7, Yunlin, Taiwan; birth time unknown, so using only three pillars): Ren Zi, Geng Xu, Ren Yin. His Day Master is Ren Water, and he’s currently in the Bing Chen 10-year luck cycle.
(The Day Master is the Heavenly Stem of the day you were born, and represents you. Ren Water is like the water of a great river.)

Why this particular month:
This year is the Bing Wu year. Both Bing Fire and Wu Fire represent wealth for him. October is the Wu Xu month. With Xu arriving, the year’s Wu, his Day Branch Yin, and Xu combine to form the “Yin-Wu-Xu Fire trine,” making his wealth element extremely strong.
But Ren Water itself isn’t strong in his chart. This is called “abundant wealth, weak self”: money comes faster than he can handle it. In trading, that means not taking profits, letting positions grow larger and larger, then giving it all back in a single pullback.
Wu Earth is his Seven Killings element. Seven Killings represents sudden, crushing pressure; in perpetuals, that’s the liquidation price.
(He was born on the day of the Start of Winter, so his month pillar could also be Xin Hai. But the Yin-Wu-Xu trine doesn’t depend on the month pillar, so the conclusion stays the same.)

So if your chart has abundant wealth but you’re relatively weak, the months when you most need to reduce your positions aren’t the months when you’re losing money, but the months when things are going best.

The next hurdle is the Ding Wei year in 2027: Ding Fire combines with his Ren Water, making him more likely to be led around by money and want to win it all back in one go.

Saylor went on Bloomberg TV today and said: Bitcoin has found its bottom, just a little over $60,000. It’s now back above $80,000, and next it will definitely return to over $100,000. He also said his company’s long-term forecast is that Bitcoin will rise 20% to 30% a year for the next 20 years.

What kind of fate does a man who has bet his entire company on Bitcoin have? Here’s his BaZi chart (February 4, 1965, Lincoln, Nebraska, USA; time of birth unknown, so only the three pillars are used): Yi Si, Wu Yin, Ji Chou. His Day Master is Ji Earth, and starting in 2025 he enters the Xin Wei 10-year luck cycle.
(A quick note: The Day Master is the Heavenly Stem of the day you were born, and represents you. Ji Earth is farmland—earth that can hold things.)

1. He was born to hold on to things.
The Chou branch in the Day Pillar is damp earth, known in Chinese astrology as a “metal storehouse,” where metal is gathered and kept safe. In real life, this means buying and never selling: he locks away the coins he buys and doesn’t sell even when prices fall. He’s been saying “never sell Bitcoin” for years; that’s exactly what his chart shows.

2. Borrowing and using leverage means constant pressure.
The Yi Wood in the Year Stem is Seven Killings. Seven Killings represent things bearing down on you: debt, rivals, and short sellers. This pressure won’t make him stop; instead, it pushes him to buy more and more. The downside is that whenever the market pulls back, everyone asks whether he can withstand it.

3. The money has to be shared.
The Wu Earth in the Month Stem is Rob Wealth, which means other people taking a share of your money. For him, that means the company keeps issuing stock and bonds to buy Bitcoin, diluting existing shareholders. The more coins he accumulates, the smaller each share held by investors represents.

4. In this 10-year luck cycle, his words are his power.
In the Xin Wei luck cycle, Xin Metal is the Eating God, which governs speech and self-expression. Simply put, over these ten years, the more boldly he speaks and the better he tells a story, the more people will follow him. Going on Bloomberg today and calling for $100,000 is this luck cycle in action.

In 2026, the Bing Wu year, Bing Fire and Wu Fire are both Resource stars, representing backing and confidence. Fire generates Earth, so he’ll feel emboldened this year and dare to say “the bottom is in.” But the annual Wu clashes harm his Day Branch Chou, so alongside that confidence, hidden internal damage may emerge, such as financing costs or shareholder disagreements.
In 2027, the Ding Wei year, Wei Earth clashes with his Day Branch Chou. This is called a Chou-Wei clash, and it strikes the metal storehouse itself. When the storehouse is shaken open, what’s been kept inside starts to move.

In the year of the Chou-Wei clash, will he keep buying and never selling, or will he be forced to open the storehouse for the first time?

Arkham has just mapped all of Justin Sun’s on-chain wallets: about $2.25 billion across 211 addresses, making him the second-largest holder of on-chain assets, behind only Satoshi. But his own $TRX has almost fallen out of the top tier. The man is worth more than Bitcoin.

I mapped his BaZi chart (July 30, 1990, Xining, birth time unknown, so using only three pillars): Geng Wu, Gui Wei, Bing Shen. His Day Master is Bing Fire, and he is currently in the Ding Hai luck cycle.

1. His wealth is too conspicuous, attracting attention.

Geng in the year stem and Shen in the day branch are both Indirect Wealth stars. This points to big money—and money everyone on the outside can see. When Indirect Wealth is exposed, it’s easy to attract scrutiny: investigations, wallet addresses being flagged, and people digging through everything one address at a time. Arkham flagging him today is exactly this kind of sign.

2. People around him take a share of his money.

Ding Fire in the luck cycle is Rob Wealth. Rob Wealth means people competing with you for money or taking a cut. In real life, this can look like partners, teams, and project insiders joining forces and then falling out. The more he makes, the more people keep their eyes on him.

3. The blade of regulation is always hanging overhead.

Hai Water is Direct Officer, representing rules, regulation, and the authorities. The more conspicuous you are during an Officer luck cycle, the more likely you are to be constrained. The greater the fame, the more restrictions there are.

In 2026, the Bing Wu year, the annual Wu clashes with the Wu in the year branch, forming Wu-Wu self-punishment. Put simply, things he has put on display can come back to hurt him: the more conspicuous he is, the harder it is to keep anything hidden.

In 2027, the Ding Wei year, Ding Fire is Rob Wealth again, so there may be more people coming to take a share. Should he lie low and protect his wealth that year, or keep putting himself out there?

For people whose wealth is out in the open, the biggest fear isn’t losing money—it’s being unable to keep it hidden.

Tell me your Chinese zodiac sign and which coins you’re holding without selling, and I’ll see whether you’re a good match.

Trump has found himself mired in lawsuits again over the past couple of days.

On October 12, a federal judge in New York ordered the government to pull all remaining political ads it had paid for on his behalf with $20 million in taxpayer money. That same week, he insisted on importing diesel from Russia, drawing condemnation from senators in both parties.

His coin isn’t looking good either. $TRUMP has fallen about 97% from its January 2025 peak and is now hovering around $2. The project team has come up with another contest to prop up the price: the top 185 coin holders get to have dinner with the president.

Here’s his BaZi chart (June 14, 1946, 10:54 a.m., New York): Bing Xu, Jia Wu, Ji Wei, Ji Si. His Day Master is Ji Earth. Born in midsummer, his chart is packed with Fire and Earth, and he’s in the Ren Yin 10-year luck cycle.
(Day Master = the Heavenly Stem of the day you were born, representing you. Ji Earth is like farmland; too much Fire means the land gets baked dry.)

2026, Bing Wu: Fire piled on Fire, with Wu-Wu self-punishment. In plain terms, he’ll be overconfident and refuse to listen to anyone. He’ll dig his own hole and fall into it; the harder he fights, the more trouble he’ll face, with one lawsuit and controversy after another.
2027, Ding Wei: Wei punishes Xu, affecting the Year Pillar. In plain terms, trouble will come to his old foundations: old businesses, partnerships, and accounts will be dug up and investigated. Wei also overlaps with his Day Branch, so the people closest to him and his health will need close attention.
The element most lacking in his chart is Water, which represents wealth. With Fire and Earth so strong, money won’t stay put; even when it comes in, it’s because others are bringing it to him. He can make money, but that doesn’t mean the people buying his coin will.

With a chart this heavy in Fire, will his crypto business keep growing in 2027, or will old scandals be dug up until he has to shut it down?
