Birth Time Verification

A BaZi source gives the Xu-hour pillars Xin-Hai, Geng-Zi, Yi-Mao, Bing-Xu; the local chart check for 1911-12-11 20:00 matches it. The chart used here is Xin-Hai, Geng-Zi, Yi-Mao, Bing-Xu. It is a Yi Wood day master with an Indirect Resource structure; favorable elements lean toward Metal, Fire, and Earth. The page keeps source-backed facts separate from BaZi interpretation. When the hour is inferred, that uncertainty stays visible.

Core Analysis

Qian Xuesen is read at 20:00 with the chart Xin-Hai, Geng-Zi, Yi-Mao, Bing-Xu. This is a Yi Wood day master with an Indirect Resource structure; favorable elements lean toward Metal, Fire, and Earth, while excess Water and Wood tends to add strain.

Qian Xuesen (1911-2009) was a scientist and a major figure in aerospace engineering. Overseas study, return to China, missiles, space work, and engineering organization shape this case.

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

Traits

01

aerospace engineering

scientist and aerospace engineer is the main public-life thread on this page.

02

Yi Wood day master

The day master helps read temperament and working style.

03

Indirect Resource structure

This structure is useful for reading career rhythm and key choices.

04

Pressure and cost

When Water and Wood is too strong, responsibility and physical strain can rise.

Timeline

Each year shows the event, luck pillar, annual pillar, relations, and interpretation for direct comparison.

FAQ

Is the birth time for Qian Xuesen reliable? +
A BaZi source gives the Xu-hour pillars Xin-Hai, Geng-Zi, Yi-Mao, Bing-Xu; the local chart check for 1911-12-11 20:00 matches it.
What is the main BaZi thread in this chart? +
The chart is Xin-Hai, Geng-Zi, Yi-Mao, Bing-Xu. The main reading centers on the Yi Wood day master and the Indirect Resource structure, especially around study in the United States, doctorate, return to China, missiles and spaceflight, and the 2009 life limit.
How does the chart read the aerospace engineering line? +
The Indirect Resource structure gives the main angle. When Metal, Fire, and Earth is active, opportunity, recognition, or work is easier to see; when Water and Wood is too strong, pressure rises.
How should this reading be read? +
BaZi is an interpretive lens, not a replacement for biography or history. The page keeps public events separate from metaphysical interpretation.
