Rich Dad Poor Dad by Robert T. Kiyosaki

It has been quite awhile that I post a write-up on my blog. A special reader, who has since become a friend, has reminds me that every time I lapse on posting an article. I apologize for the delay due to a sudden influx of customer asking for Bazi consultation.

I promised him to post something soon. Although I have a few subjects to write about, I have posted his request first. This article is not to track events that happened in Robert life. It is more about the potential that is in his Bazi Chart.

Robert T. Kiyosaki is born on 8 April 1947. I do not have his time of birth but for the analysis today, I think information available will suffice.

Robert Kiyosaki's Bazi Chart

Robert is born on spring under the Structure of Hurting Officer. Hence, for the basic Bazi studies we know that his Day Master (DM), Ding Fire is strong. Furthermore, his DM is sitting on Jian Lu, the Si Snake, which is a Thriving Star. Hence, he favours the elements of water, earth and metal.

It is a known fact before Robert become famous, he actually a successful salesman, selling copy machines for the Xerox Corporation. If you have read my article on the Ten Gods in relation to career, then you would know that salesman is actually using a Hurting Officer (HO) Star. In the Robert's Bazi the HO is represented by Wu Earth which can be found in the Chen Dragon.

If you were to look at Robert's Luck Pillar, he actually stepped in to his favourable luck cycle from the age 21 onwards. So why is he not famous earlier? He is only well-known when he published the book Rich Dad Poor Dad in 2004. Publishing and becoming an author which fall under the wood industry is not even his favourable element. Here I want to dispelled some of the myths surrounded the unfavourable element and clashes.

Unfavourable Element

Myth: There is always assumption that unfavourable elements in your natal will bring bad luck. It is better to disassociate with this unlucky element so that you will be better off in term of luck. Robert in his earlier day has uses his favourable element to achieve success that is Wu Earth, his HO but it can even compare to the achievement now.

Fact: This so called unfavourable element is just another element in your chart. Using this element doesn't mean you are doom forever to be bad luck. It only means that you may face some challenges while you use this element. In fact every element in your Natal Chart has it pro and cons. The negative element just shows more of it negative sight. You can always consciously improve the positive sight of your unfavourable element.

For example: In Robert T. Kiyosaki case becoming an author has brings him tremendous success and fame. Publishing and writing a book is a wood industry. It is his Direct Resource Star which is not favourable to him. Another element, the fire is Rob Wealth Star (RW) to Robert. It is also not in his favourable element but this RW is a star of fame. If you want to be famous, to be well-known around the world, you need this Star in your natal chart.Robert Kiyosaki
Robert has used the Ding Fire element well. Ding Fire is the light of a candle. It shines and shows people the way in the dark. Robert's book is all about showing people the way to achieve financial freedom. His books have inspires many to believe that everyone can do it. This is what Ding Fire is all about.

Of course, there are challenges. RW always brings about jealousy and acute competition. There are many critic on Robert' books and teaching for containing little concrete advice on how readers should proceed. They are also those who believe that Rich Dad is fictional and Robert created him as an author surrogate (a literary device).

Clashes

Myth: Clashes mean that there is a sudden and shocking event into a person life. It is always assumption that some kind of freak accident will happen to that person who has a clash in his Bazi.

Fact: Clashes do not necessary just associates with accident. If you are migrating to another country, your Bazi may probably show a clash too.

For example: In Robert's Luck Pillar of 51 (Age 51 to 60), there is a clash relationship between the Xu Dog and Chen Dragon. This clash released out the Ding Fire element. As I mentioned earlier, the Fire element is his Friend and RW stars which bring about fame. Hence, there is a possibility of a break through that will bring about fame in Robert life. In 2000, Geng Chen year, the book titled, "Rich Dad Poor Dad", shoots Robert into stardom in the literacy world. Remember the Ding Fire, Jia Wood and Geng Metal always work together. The Geng is found in the Geng Chen in the Annual Pillar of 2000.

Time

Myth: It is always believe that during your lucky cycle, whatever you plan to do or project you plan to launch will shoot into instant success. You may have the capability and foresight during this period to execute certain projects or ideas. It is also an added plus point because whatever you plan to do seems to go smoother but it does not guarantee 100% success. In fact, it just takes only one year of bad luck or unfavourable cycle in that 10-year of your good Luck Pillar to killed your project or idea if you do not have enough experience or good planning.

Fact: You need to work and toil on your project, talent and idea whether in the bad time or good time so you become good, an expert, in that field. When the window of opportunity opens, you are there to receive it.

For example: Robert started writing much, much earlier than in the year 2004. His first book titled "If You Want to be Rich & Happy Don't go to School?" was published in 1992. The book does not really do well. If he does not persist on and keep on writing, the book "Rich Dad Poor Dad" will not published and he would not be famous. In fact, he actually self-published the book "Rich Dad Poor Dad" in 1997 when all the publishing company see it as another financial investment book that does not seems to be profitable. In the year 2000, after the commercial picked the book for publishing, it is on the New York Best Seller List for 6 years till 2007.

You may born with a potential good chart, but if you do not put on your weight to improve your in born ability even a lousy person chart will do much better than you. In this world there is no lucky period where you do not need to work or contribute little and get instant success with everything you wish fall from the sky to you. You receive in return what you have given.

Hi, really insightful, but about clashes, you´re missing one: what´s the result of the clash between Hai (year EB) and Si (DM EB) ?

Josephine said...

The Hai(Year EB) and Si (DM EB) is separated by the Chen (Mth EB) so it would not take place. Anyway the Hai~Si is the mildest clash among the others. It indicates interference into others affair.

In the LP of 41, this clash become a reality. Possibility of his handling or management of money that interferes and causes headace among his family. As the Hai represent Wealth and it clashes into the Spouse Palace. At that point of time, Robert is still struggling in his business that is not successful.

Hi Joe,

Very interesting. Was wondering, since Robert is born in Wu Earth (Dragon) month, even though technically, Earth is supposed to be a favourable element for a Strong Ding DM, in his case, can we say that perhaps he would actually favour Jia Wood more (vs. the Wu Earth), to help keep the strong earth under control, while feeding the Ding?

As for wealth, how do we tell how rich he is? With the 3 pillars, we can see the wealth Geng inside the Snake, but it doesn't seem that strong, being sub-qi & born in Spring. So do we look at Wealth coming from the Dog LP onwards (ie. Dog, Rooster, Monkey LPs) being Autumn - where wealth (Metal) is strong?

Looks like he's one of those charts where wealth comes in later in life, after 50s...

cheers,
Jenn

Hi Jenn,

Yes, the Jia also help to control the earth element.

You are right too about his wealth coming later in life. However, nowaday we measures wealth in term of NAV so it includes paper assets in term of shares, loan stocks, bonds etc. Hence you, want to look at the Resource Stars especially the Indirect Resource and also the Rob Wealth Stars which represent paper asset and shareholder respectively.

So you can says that beside earning incomes from his talks and books, his are earning investment income from his shares etc.

Why born under HO structure means the DM is strong? Since the DM Fire must 'give' to the Earth, doesn't it make the DM weaker?
Haha, sorry, i am beginner, a little bit confused...

Josephine said...

His Day Master also sitting on the Bing Fire, hence not weak.

Jo

Andy said...

oh ok, so the DM is drawing power from the branch right below it... which means that it is a 'companion' or 'friend' that is supporting him... maybe this points to his business partners and co-authors... ya, its clearer now... thanks!

Hi Ms Josephine

"As the Hai represent Wealth and it clashes into the Spouse Palace. At that point of time, Robert is still struggling in his business that is not successful"

Why is hai representing wealth? I know direct officer is related to status or power, is that the reason?
