AI translated from the original Chinese.

Last time we discussed Jolie's innate tendency to despair, but it didn't stop her from becoming an international star. How does her chart show the path that led her step by step to the peak of her career?


As before, let's start with her original chart.

Next, some transformations:

Since she's an international star, such a special case is generally easy to read. We only need to find where her 化祿 concentrate.

巨門 (Ju Men) in 子

  1. 巨門 in 子, a strong palace.
  2. 巨門 sees 3 Lu stars in its three sides and four directions; Lu can speak of the sources of career and wealth.
  3. 巨門 sits with 紅鸞 (Hong Luan) and 咸池 (Xian Chi), seeing 天姚 (Tian Yao) and 天喜 (Tian Xi). All 4 romance stars concentrate in the 子 Palace. Romance stars speak of beauty and charisma.
  4. 天魁 (Tian Kui) in 子 governs benefactors, and it sees 天鉞 (Tian Yue) in 申, also governing benefactors.
  5. 空劫 (Kong Jie) clash with the 子 Palace. Although 巨門 is a Water star, it is Yin Water, and seeing 空劫 has much of the image of "rowing a boat in the waves." It can also explain her pursuit of religion, ideals and causes. But of course it also explains her depressive tendencies in youth.

Overall Judgment

Jolie's 巨門 is excellent. 巨門 is Water and governs wisdom; meeting 4 romance stars, it also displays the endless allure of a Water star. 魁鉞 are benefactor stars, and success generally needs the help of many benefactors; 地空 and 地劫 make her innately more pessimistic, with a sense of rowing in the waves. To fill the void inside, people with 空劫 often seek self-redemption through religion and charity.

Jolie entered show business in 1993 at 19, had her first success at 23, won acting awards at 25, and at 27 her role in Tomb Raider brought her career to a peak. Since then she has nearly always been box office gold. (Ages are counted in the East Asian way.) How do we find the signs that after 27 she stood undefeated in film?
