Celebrity Focus 3: The Death of Marilyn Monroe
AI translated from the original Chinese.
From "Andy Warhol's prophecy: consumption, reproduction and style"
Our school has three taboo subjects:
- Death
- Whether a pregnancy will bring a boy or a girl
- Advising people to divorce or break up
Dou Shu research inevitably touches on such topics. But we don't predict life and death; we simply look at Monroe's fortunes in 1962 and why such a tragedy happened.
The original chart:
Adjusted to a chart of the fortunes of 1962:
When discussing health and fortunes, both the main star and the 太歲 matter a great deal. Monroe's main star is 太陰 (Tai Yin) and her 太歲 is 寅, the Tiger. In my experience, when the main star and the 太歲 are damaged at the same time, a major incident often follows.
Monroe's main star 太陰
- 太陰 in 戌, a strong palace.
- 太陰 in 戌 sees 陀羅 (Tuo Luo), forming the "people leave, money scatters" pattern.
- 空劫 (Kong Jie) clash with 太陰. 太陰, already in an evil pattern, is now affected by 空劫 as well, with a sense of "rowing a boat in the waves," danger at every step.
- 火星 (Huo Xing) clashes with 太陰 from the 午 Palace, forming a "Ten Evils" pattern too.
- 太陰 in 戌, stem 庚: 天同 (Tian Tong) 化忌 in 寅 clashes with 太陰 again, adding frost to the snow for a 戌 Palace already full of evil patterns.
- The 戌 Palace holds the spirit star 白虎 (Bai Hu), which is also highly destructive to personal safety.
My teacher said that an evil pattern combined with a clash of Ji and malefics is very serious; even with the support of Lu stars, a single 化忌 coming in can easily strike the fatal blow.
Monroe's 太歲, the 寅 Palace
- 天同 and 天梁 (Tian Liang) are strong in 寅.
- 天同 is fine in the original chart, but when 天梁 moves from the original chart to the 寅 Palace, it brings three malefics, 地空 (Di Kong), 擎羊 (Qing Yang) and 火星. So 天同 and 天梁 here look fine but hide danger.
- The 太歲 palace 寅 receives the 天同 化忌 brought by Monroe's main star 太陰 through 庚.
- 天梁 was fine, but the malefics and Ji stars give 天梁 the evil 機梁羊 pattern as well.
- 天梁 in 寅 has Lu stars concentrated, but in past articles I believe I mentioned that 天梁 化祿 isn't necessarily good. 天梁 governs accidents: 化祿 is an accident, and 化忌 is an accident too. So 天梁 化祿 instead signals the possibility of an accident.
- Besides receiving the force of the three malefics 空, 羊 and 火 from the original chart, 天梁 also receives the negative effects of 火星, 鈴星 (Ling Xing) and 地空. This 天梁 can be called very dangerous.
Monroe's official cause of death was "acute barbiturate poisoning." Barbiturates were mainly used as sleeping pills and anti-anxiety drugs, and officials suggested it may have been suicide.
Another rumor holds that Monroe was murdered because she knew some dark secrets of the Kennedy family.
Here we won't use the chart to solve the case; we'll simply discuss the two possibilities of "acute barbiturate poisoning" and "murder."
How to see acute barbiturate poisoning?
For medicines in Dou Shu, two stars need examining: one is 天相 (Tian Xiang), the other 天刑 (Tian Xing). Did these two stars damage Monroe's main star or 太歲?
- 天相 in 丑, stem 癸: 貪狼 (Tan Lang) becomes 化忌, flanking Monroe's main star 太陰. From this we can infer Monroe's drug overdose problem.
- 天刑 governs whether medicine is effective against illness. 天刑 in 子, stem 壬, makes 天梁 become 化祿. As mentioned above, 天梁 化祿 is not a good thing, so it can be seen as an accidental overdose.
How to see murder?
Murder is a matter of 陰煞 (Yin Sha). 陰煞 in 申, stem 戊, makes 天機 (Tian Ji) become 化忌, striking both the main star 太陰 and the 太歲 palace 寅. Truly bad. But whether this 陰煞 means Monroe simply took too much medicine without realizing it, or someone really murdered her, there's no knowing.
My teacher often says: fortune-telling is fortune-telling; don't try to be a god. If Monroe's death really was related to Kennedy, let's bring in Kennedy's data and see whether it has any effect! Kennedy was born in 1917; let's mark his stems.
Kennedy, born in 1917, has 天相 as his main star; in the variant chart it falls in the 丑 Palace, still with the stem 癸, still making 貪狼 become 化忌, still flanking Monroe's main star 太陰. It's exactly the same as the 天相 mentioned above that showed the problem with what she took. Let's treat this as a coincidence for now.
Our study of Marilyn Monroe's chart ends here. Since we've talked about Marilyn Monroe, next time let's talk about Kennedy.
