Core Analysis
Samuel C. C. Ting's chart is Yi Hai, Ji Chou, Wu Shen, Ding Si. The Wu Earth day master is born in the Ji Chou month, so the reading starts with temperament, pressure, and the way talent is put to use.
The page focuses on Scholarly Rigor and Leadership & Collaboration. The chart is read together with public life events: work, reputation, conflict, and turning points.
Because the birth time is not confirmed, the hour pillar stays as a candidate.
