Birth Time Verification

This page uses Astrotheme's recorded data for Martha Graham: 1894-05-11 06:00. The chart is cast for the Yi Mao hour, with the birthplace corrected to Allegheny City, Pennsylvania, United States. The four pillars are Jia Wu, Ji Si, Gui Chou, Yi Mao. The local reading marks a Direct Wealth pattern, with Metal and Water favored and excessive Wood and Earth treated as pressure. Gui Water is born in the Si month under strong Fire-Earth pressure, while the Yi Mao hour brings Wood expression. The Direct Wealth pattern values body, rhythm, and repeatable training methods. When Metal and Water help, discipline, technique, and flow support the work. Too much Wood and Earth can increase bodily cost and control pressure.
