Core Analysis
Ludwig Wittgenstein’s chart at 20:30 is Ji Chou, Wu Chen, Ren Shen, Geng Xu. Ren Water is born in the Chen month, with heavy Earth, Geng Metal Indirect Resource in the hour, and Shen Metal under the day. The chart is read as a Seven Killings pattern. Metal and Water help; excessive Earth is the pressure point.
In a philosopher, Seven Killings rarely reads as gentle explanation. It reads as relentless questioning. Wittgenstein’s thinking repeatedly cuts down, rejects, and starts again. He was not satisfied with cleverness or with an academic position. He kept asking what language can say and what it cannot say.
In 1911, during Bing Yin luck and the Xin Hai year, Metal and Water appeared and his path opened at Cambridge with Russell. In 1919, Yi Chou luck and the Ji Wei year fit his decision to give away a huge inheritance, using life itself to test philosophical seriousness. In 1941, Gui Hai luck and the Xin Si year show a conflict of Metal-Water and Fire-Earth as he left teaching for wartime hospital work. In 1947, Ren Xu luck and the Ding Hai year fit retreat and late writing in Ireland.
