The Chart of a Scholar (Part 2)

Yesterday we discussed the chart of a scholar.

Today let's talk about another scholar's chart. Ms. Z once worked in a famous laboratory and is now a university professor.

Yesterday we said that 巨門 (Ju Men) is the star of Yin essence; being Water, it also governs "wisdom." In expressing innate gifts, 巨門 is a star of single-minded focus. In today's case, let's first find where the chart's pattern lies and see whether it still works through 巨門.

Where the chart's pattern lies

  1. 天機 (Tian Ji) 化祿 ● in 未. 天機 is Wood and governs intelligence. The intelligence of a Water star differs from that of a Wood star: a Water star's intelligence can delve deep, while a Wood star's can extrapolate from one case to many. So Ms. Z's intelligence and nimble adaptability are beyond doubt.
  2. 太陽 (Tai Yang) 化權 □ in 巳 meets 天梁 (Tian Liang) and 化祿 ●. Besides, 文昌 (Wen Chang)'s stem 壬 makes 天梁 become 化祿 ●, which is also the "陽梁昌祿 pattern," governing being good at studying and exams. And the 巳 Palace holds 空劫 (Kong Jie): in research, free-ranging and quite original.

So 天機 governs intelligence, and 太陽 brings out the "陽梁昌祿 pattern," also governing being good at studying and exams. Such a pattern will flourish in academia.

Reading from the angle of 巨門, 巨門 化祿 ● is in 亥 and sees 天馬 (Tian Ma), which is also "祿馬交馳" (Lu and Ma galloping together).

So the patterns of this chart flourish in intelligence, studying and exams, and single-minded focus: a chart with a scholar's character.

Conclusion

Everyone's chart generally has several patterns. If one positive pattern gets to flourish, its benefits are inexhaustible.

Tomorrow, let's talk about another scholar's chart.
