Celebrity Focus 2: Jolie's Charity Work
AI translated from the original Chinese.
From "From Madonna to Lady Gaga: 10 celebs who met Queen Elizabeth II"
We've discussed Angelina Jolie's love life. Now let's focus on her charity work.
In 2001, after Tomb Raider made Jolie world famous, she immediately donated US$1 million to the UN refugee agency (UNHCR) to help Afghan refugees. Since then she has kept up her charity work. In 2014 the British government awarded her an honorary DCMG.
Why is Jolie so tireless in her charity work?
As usual, transformed:
When it comes to charity, in the narrow sense 天梁 (Tian Liang) matters most; in the broad sense, any benevolent star can speak of charity. The stars most often linked to charity are none other than 機月同梁 (Ji Yue Tong Liang). So let's start from Jolie's main star 天府 (Tian Fu) and the 機月同梁 group, and see why Jolie is so devoted to promoting charity.
Jolie's main star 天府
- 天府 is a benevolent star.
- 天府 in 酉, stem 乙, makes 天機 (Tian Ji) become 化祿 and 天梁 become 化權.
天府, a benevolent star, makes 天機 become 化祿, turning an already strong 天機 into charitable action. 天梁 化權 turns into persistence in doing good.
How 天機 and the 機月同梁 group show up
- 天機 in 午 has Lu stars concentrated. 天機 is a benevolent star; with the support of 天府's stem 乙, a kind heart turns into kind deeds.
- 天機 in 午 sees 地空 (Di Kong). 天機 seeing 空 relates to religion and philosophy; we can say Jolie has her own faith and ideals. Whenever she is able, she gives generously to do good.
- 天機 in 午, stem 壬: 天梁 化祿 in the 寅 Palace. 天梁 is the great benevolent star, and the 天梁 化祿 brought by 天機 strengthens 天機's good deeds again. Although 天同 (Tian Tong) and 天梁 in 寅 see 火星 (Huo Xing) and 陀羅 (Tuo Luo), 天同 and 天梁 are benevolent stars to begin with, and with 地空 in 午, the ill nature of 火 and 陀 can be dissolved and turned into proactive charitable action.
- 太陰 (Tai Yin), one of the 機月同梁 group, is strong in 戌; its stem 丙 makes 天同 in 寅 become 化祿, again strengthening 天機 in 午.
- 天同 and 天梁 in 寅, stem 戊: 天機 becomes 化忌. This 天機 化忌 needn't be seen as so ominous, because 天機 sits with 地空, and 地空 can soften the effect of malefics, even turning it into charitable action. Besides, 太陰 化權 is also what keeps Jolie devoted to charity.
The benevolent stars of 機月同梁, together with Jolie's main star 天府, turn into the drive to actively do good; and 天府, a wealth star, speaks of delighting in generosity, giving without counting the cost.
I think what's special about Jolie, beyond her beauty and acting, is above all the drive behind her good deeds. There's nothing wrong with doing good publicly; on the contrary, it lets more people know which places in the world need help, and gives them someone to follow.
