Birth Time Verification

A BaZi source gives November 12, 1528, Hai hour, with the pillars Wu-Zi, Gui-Hai, Ji-Si, Yi-Hai; the local chart check matches it. The chart used here is Wu-Zi, Gui-Hai, Ji-Si, Yi-Hai. It is a Ji Earth day master with an Direct Wealth structure; favorable elements lean toward Fire, Wood, and Earth. The page keeps source-backed facts separate from BaZi interpretation. When the hour is inferred, that uncertainty stays visible.

Core Analysis

Qi Jiguang is read at 22:00 with the chart Wu-Zi, Gui-Hai, Ji-Si, Yi-Hai. This is a Ji Earth day master with an Direct Wealth structure; favorable elements lean toward Fire, Wood, and Earth, while excess Water tends to add strain.

Qi Jiguang (1528-1588) was a Ming military commander. Coastal defense, military training, formations, and frontier service define this case; the chart carries heavy Water and a strong Si-Hai clash.

This chart is most useful for reading the way effort appears in public life. The Direct Wealth structure is not a personality label by itself; in the timeline it appears as a mix of opportunity, recognition, responsibility, and cost.
