Birth Time Verification

Shen hour (16:00) is the most suitable. A Bing day born in the Zi month has a Day Master that is weak and restrained by water, needing support from strength. The Shen hour reveals Bing Shen as a bi jian peer, strengthening the Day Master and enabling a strong presence that can lead and form alliances. This matches Chen Yi’s military background, his talent for leading troops, and his ability to unite comrades. The Shen hour can also transform dispersed guan sha into an aid, giving both military decisiveness and literary talent. Compared with hours with heavy water and strong guan sha, such times tend to show a harsh and isolated nature; hours with too many yin injuries may give literary flair but lack leadership cohesion. Therefore Shen hour better integrates military, political, and diplomatic careers.

Core Analysis

Overview: The natal chart reads 辛丑 / 丙申 / 丙子 / 丙申, showing a dominant 丙日主 with repeated 比肩 and prominent 食神/伤官/七杀 influences. The chart’s 五行 displays strong Fire (three 丙) tempered by Metal (辛) and Water (子), creating tension between public action and hidden challenges. This combination forms a public-facing 格局 of leadership, creativity and command.

Career alignment with 大运: Early 乙未 (正印) and 甲午 (偏印) 大运 support scholarly formation and revolutionary study abroad (education and ideological formation). The 癸巳 (正官) and 壬辰 (七杀) 大运 align with ascending military authority and decisive wartime command. The 辛卯 (正财) 大运 corresponds with administrative and economic stewardship (Shanghai mayor and financial stabilization). Later 大运变化 reflect shifts toward diplomacy and cultural expression.

Character and life lessons: Repeated 比肩 indicates strong self-reliance, peer leadership and comradeship—consistent with military command and organizational roles. Presence of 食神/伤官 points to literary talent and unconventional thinking, explaining poetic output and diplomatic finesse. Tensions between Fire and hidden Water (子) suggest periods of strain, strategic restraint or health pressure under extreme stress. Overall the 八字 shows a forward-driving marshal-type 格局 combining martial decisiveness and cultural creativity.

Double Harmony of Major Fate Cycle and Year Pillar Favorable Element Gains Strength Heavenly Nobleman Clash with Year's Ruling Branch

Crossing the Ocean: Prelude to Intellectual Enlightenment

Chen Yi traveled to Paris, France for a work-study program. He actively participated in activities among Chinese students in France, met like-minded individuals such as Zhou Enlai and Cai Hesen, began systematically studying Marxism, and thus broadened his life perspective and intellectual horizons.

Analysis
This year, Chen Yi was in the Jiawu Major Fate Cycle. The Heavenly Stem of the cycle, Jia Wood, is the Partial Resource Star, which is the favorable Resource Star in his Bazi, governing thought, learning, and noble support. The Year Pillar Jiwei forms a Heaven and Earth Double Harmony with the Major Fate Cycle Jiawu (Jia-Ji combine into Earth, Wu-Wei combine into Fire), signifying 'one who upholds virtue gains much support.' The Double Harmony activates the Earthly Branch of the cycle, Wu Fire (Rob Wealth Star), which is his Favorable Element, representing the awakening of self-awareness and enhanced initiative. The Year Branch Wei contains Yi Wood (Proper Resource Star), further strengthening the energy for learning and absorbing new knowledge. Simultaneously, the Year Pillar clashes and harms the Natal Year Pillar (Chou-Wei Clash/Harm), which represents hometown and foundation. This configuration indicates long-distance travel and change, highly consistent with studying abroad. The Heavenly Nobleman brought by the Major Fate Cycle also foretells encountering noble support and important partners in a foreign land.

The cycle's auspicious stars Heavenly Nobleman and the Year's Virtue of the Month appear simultaneously, indicating extremely strong nobleman luck this year, receiving guidance from key figures (like Cai Hesen). With a weak Day Master, the arrival of Wood and Fire in this cycle and year was the perfect time to replenish his energy and clarify his life's direction; joining the organization aligned with this powerful astrological trend.

Analysis
This year was the final year of the Gengyin Major Fate Cycle, Year Pillar Yisi. The Day Master's Bazi is weak, favoring Wood and Fire. The cycle's Earthly Branch Yin Wood is a Favorable Element, a strong Resource Star foundation representing backing, power, and support. The Year Heavenly Stem Yi Wood (Proper Resource Star) appears, generating the Day Master, and combines with the cycle's Heavenly Stem Geng Metal (Partial Wealth Star) (Geng-Yi combine).

Illness Strikes, A Turn in Fate

Due to worsening abdominal pain, he sought medical treatment and was diagnosed with advanced-stage colon cancer. His health deteriorated rapidly, facing severe life challenges.

Analysis
The health crisis this year had extremely clear astrological signs. The natal Bazi has a weak Day Master Bing Fire, with overall Metal (Wealth) flourishing and Water (Officer) strong, a typical wealth abundant, body weak pattern with rampant Unfavorable Elements. In 1971, he was in the Jichou Major Fate Cycle (Resource Star), with both stems of the cycle being Earth, further draining the Day Master's vitality. The Year Pillar Gengxu has the Heavenly Stem Geng Metal (Partial Wealth Star) appearing, Earthly Branch Xu Earth (Resource Star), intensifying the power of the Earth and Metal Unfavorable Elements. The key point is that the Year Branch Xu and the cycle's Earthly Branch Chou form 'Chou-Xu mutual punishment'. This punishment is the 'ungrateful punishment,' governing disputes, injuries, and health damage. It punishes the cycle's Resource Star and the Year's Resource Star; the Resource Stars represent bodily functions and the excretory system, punishment容易 causes problems in these areas. Simultaneously, Xu contains Ding Fire, the root of the Day Master; punishment动摇 the root damages fire energy, corresponding to the heart, small intestine, and blood system. Multiple Unfavorable Elements (Earth, Metal)围攻 the already weak Day Master Bing Fire, and punishment agitates the body palace, hence the爆发 of a severe health crisis this year.

Analysis
This year was towards the end of the Jichou Major Fate Cycle (Resource Star), Year Pillar Xinhai. The Bazi's Day Master Bing Fire is inherently weak, favoring Wood and Fire, and disliking Metal and Water. The Xinhai Year Pillar sees the Heavenly Stem Bing-Xin combine into Water, and the Earthly Branches Hai-Zi-Chou form a Triple Meeting Water Formation, converging the water energy from the cycle and natal chart into a vast ocean. Water is the Officer/Kill Star, an Unfavorable Element in the chart. The overwhelming water势 severely克制 the Day Master Bing Fire, a strong signal of health crisis. The cycle's Earthly Branch Chou Earth is the Canopy Star, the Year Branch Hai Water is the Traveling Horse Star, also indicating奔波劳碌 and isolation. The Year Heavenly Stem Xin Metal is the Proper Wealth Star, combining with the Day Master but transforming into the Unfavorable Element Water—so-called 'wealth comes to combine with me,反而 becomes a burden'—also a sign of消耗自身. Overall, this year the Unfavorable Element water势 reached its peak, the Day Master Bing Fire was severely克制 and drained, life energy exhausted, marking the period of life's great limit.
