Elon Musk

AI translated from the original Chinese.

From the Wikipedia entry "Elon Musk"

Elon Musk's chart has been going viral lately. Several of my LINE groups have discussed it, and people have messaged me for my take. But as for the most popular post (I'd rather not name it; that would be too pointed):

  1. The hour should be counted by "卯正" (the exact middle of the 卯 hour). Setting it at the 辰 hour is wrong.
  2. The conclusion was drawn too fast. If what a chart shows differs from what the person actually experienced, you should ask first whether the chart was cast wrong, then whether the method was wrong, and only last whether your skill falls short.

The original chart is the basis of everything, but trying to see through a whole life from the original chart alone is just too hard.


According to his biography, his data is:

Birthplace: Pretoria, South Africa

Birth time: 07:30, June 28, 1971

7:30 in the morning would generally be counted as the 辰 hour, but by "卯正" it should fall in the 卯 hour.

Below I explain using a chart cast for the 卯 hour.


As usual, transformed:


Musk's main star 破軍 (Po Jun): the entrepreneurial pattern

Musk has founded many companies. Where is his pattern of Quan stars?

  1. 巳, 酉 and 丑 form the double-star 殺破狼 (Sha Po Lang). There are only 2 Quan stars, but the double-star 殺破狼 is a strong pattern in itself, and 2 Quan still have their effect.
  2. The double-star 殺破狼 speaks of founding many companies.
  3. 紫微 (Zi Wei) and 破軍 in 丑 is "君臣不義" (ruler and minister without loyalty), but in a strong state it can speak of transcending the limits of the times, of creativity.
  4. 紫微 and 破軍 see 魁鉞 (Kui Yue) and 昌曲 (Chang Qu). Such creativity is no small matter: besides coming up with ideas himself, he has benefactors helping him realize his dreams.
  5. 紫微 and 破軍 see the four romance stars 紅鸞, 天喜, 咸池 and 天姚 (Hong Luan, Tian Xi, Xian Chi, Tian Yao): deeply charismatic.
  6. 紫微 and 破軍, hard stars of the Northern Dipper, sit with 鈴星 (Ling Xing) and 陀羅 (Tuo Luo): quick to come up with creative ideas, and with the power to execute them.

Where is the richest-man pattern?

天府 (Tian Fu) speaks of lifetime wealth.

  1. 天府 in 卯 sees 擎羊 (Qing Yang): the drive to actively make money. 擎羊 can also speak of technical skill; the technical prowess of SpaceX and Tesla goes without saying.
  2. Seeing 昌曲 and 天鉞 (Tian Yue): making money intelligently.
  3. 天府's Career Palace is 天相 (Tian Xiang). 天相 can speak of passenger compartments; rockets and cars both aim to carry passengers. 天相 sees 昌曲 and 魁鉞, and is flanked by 左輔 and 右弼 (Zuo Fu, You Bi): very strong, and supported by romance stars too. Besides making money intelligently, his products are luxury grade, prestigious and famous.
  4. In the original chart, 天相 sits with 天馬 (Tian Ma), which also speaks of the transportation industry.

What's good about Tesla?

  1. Cars are a matter of 天馬. In the original chart 天馬 is in 巳, stem 己: 武曲 (Wu Qu) Lu and 貪狼 (Tan Lang) Quan, both auspiciously transforming the double-star 殺破狼.
  2. The 巳 Palace has the 火貪格 (Huo Tan pattern) and sees 天姚: high-end, beautiful products with a sense of design.

The success of SpaceX

  1. Space inevitably involves 空劫 (Kong Jie)
  2. 地空 (Di Kong) in 申, stem 壬: don't just look at 武曲 化忌; 紫微 化權 makes the double-star 殺破狼 more stable. 武曲 化忌 can speak of burning money, but it doesn't stop its overall success.
  3. 地劫 (Di Jie) in 寅, stem 丙: 廉貞 (Lian Zhen) Ji, damaging the double-star 殺破狼. I explained this in the star-nature class; I'd rather not reveal it in this article.

The failure of Twitter, renamed X

  1. A text-based social platform is mainly a matter of 昌曲.
  2. 昌曲 in 未, stem 辛, causes Ji stars to concentrate on 天相 and 昌曲.
  3. 天相 in 未 also sees 擎羊, 陀羅 and 鈴星, all poor.

So the failure of Twitter had its reasons.


Before Musk made his birth hour public, in the star-nature class we had already used his son X Musk to work backward to Musk's fortunes, and it yielded the same results as this chart.

All I can say is that those who study fate must insist on reliable chart casting and sound methods of reading. Can a single original chart speak of a whole life? Even the 文王卦 (King Wen hexagram divination) insists on the principle of changing hexagrams, and Dou Shu naturally has its method of variant charts too. Unfortunately an article isn't the place for too much theoretical explanation. All I can say is: don't see a chart as set in stone and announce that it defies all the fortune-tellers.

Think more, and seek out the reasons: that's what matters.
