The Football Hunk, Cristiano Ronaldo

Cristiano Ronaldo, the young hunk on the block. Hahaha! No wonder all my girlfriends want to see football matches. Cristiano Ronaldo is born on 5 February 1985, time unknown.

The ideal sportsman BaZi Chart should contain the Hurting Officer controlling the Seven Killings formation. In Cristiano Ronaldo, the formation is found in a secondary Qi of Bing Fire in Yin Tiger and Xin Metal in Chou Ox. However, I would think the formation as the secondary Qi is less effective in making an excellent footballer and superstar out of Cristiano Ronaldo. Maybe the hour plays a more significant role if it is Xin Si.

Again like the Raymond Domenech's BaZi Chart, Cristiano Ronaldo is also having the Companion Structure. His is the Rob Wealth Structure. Couple with the Hai Pig and Yin Tiger combination making him a good team player as well as a leader. With so many Rob Wealth and Friend Stars in his BaZi, he is constantly working in a highly energised competitive environment. The football field provided this environment to him.

What element does the football industry fall into? The round shape of the ball tells you that it is no other than the metal element. It is the best element needed to cut through the amount of thick woods and make it useful in Cristiano Ronaldo's BaZi Chart. The metal element is also Cristiano Ronaldo's Influence Star. Hence, he gains his fame and recognition in the football field.

The year 2004, Jia Shen, he lost his dad to alcoholism. It was also the year that he goes in the Luck Pillar of Yi Hai, a Fu Yin to his Day Pillar. Something was lost forever in his life and something is gain in return. It was also at this period that became the first-ever Portuguese player to hire by Manchester United with a deal of £12.24 million. He currently holds the distinction of being the most expensive player in football history after being transferred from Manchester United to Real Madrid in a transfer deal worth £80 million (€94m, US$132m).

He may earn another title on top of his many Honour in the football field with the present of Direct Officer Star, Geng Metal, and the Rob Wealth Star, Yin Tiger in this World Cup FIFA 2010.

World Cup 2010: France’s Dramatic Exit

Although not a football fan myself, the World Cup FIFA 2010 event would not go unnoticed easily by myself or anyone else. Furthermore, the France's team dramatic exit from the World Cup added some interesting gossip to the sport arena.

All the bad performance and the fall out seem to pointing to the Coach, Raymond Domenech. He has been criticized for many things since he became the Coach. Firstly, it had been rumour that he consulted astrology to choose the players for the France's World Cup. He left out many of experience players in favour of new one had mystified the fans and players alike.

He was also pictured dimly by the press, Le Parisien, for his refusal to shake South Africa coach Carlos Alberto Parreira's hand at the World Cup tournament.

He neither help his image by his remarked "I come from another world to you" in his final press conference.

What happen to the France's World Cup as seen in Domenech's BaZi Chart? He is born on 24 January 1952 at an estimate time of 9:00 p.m.

If Domenech's BaZi Chart is the France's World Cup team, it proved to be as chaotic as the event which has taken placed. At the age of 58, he is in the Luck Pillar of Yi Wei. The Yi Wei Pillar is a Heaven and Earth clash to his Month Pillar whereby it represented his working environment. Furthermore the Luck Pillar Yi Wei also formed the wood element with Hai Pig and Mao Rabbit which clashes and controls into the earth element, his Friend Structure. The Hai Pig Branch represents his subordinate and co-workers, while the Mao Rabbit represents the outside world he need to deal with. This shows that he had little power over the event that had unfold although he was the coach. At the same time, his team under his coaching represented by the Si Snake, Xin Metal and Chou Ox combination clashes out to the wood formation. This was a clear sign of the team is going against the authority. His BaZi chart show that the France's team was heading for some serious battle internally and externally. What better place to play out the external battle than the World Cup 2010. While the World Cup started off poorly for France with a flat performance against Uruguay which earned them a draw, and a 2 nil shock defeat against Mexico, it was the internal battle and disharmony between the coach and the squad that kill the fighting spirit of the team.

At a first glance, there were already discord among his team and players because of the Hai Pig and Si Snake clashes in the Subordinate and the Team Palaces respectively. The discord may arise from the unhappiness of his management and coaching style as well as his incoherent strategy.

While all is this said, the problem cannot rest solely on Domenech as the football game is a game of as team spirit as well as team work.

Married Into Status, Power And Wealth

Many women think this is like dream come true if you marry a man you love, and at the same time you also inadvertently marry into status, power and wealth. A particular "Cinderella Story". In the Chinese olden days it was seen as the "Heaven Blessing" for a lady to be married into status especially into the Imperial Family. It did not matter that life in the Imperial Palace was a lonely and precarious one. In the modern day, the Cinderella story does not turn out so well too. We all know that Princess Diana did not have a "Happy Ever After" ending.

Looking to the East, a long standing Imperial Family that still exist, Japan, had opened their family door to the ordinary people who was not from the court nobility much earlier. Empress Michiko was the first ordinary citizen to marry into the Japanese Imperial Family.

How was a lady's BaZi Chart destined to become the Her Imperial Majesty The Empress of Japan look like? If Wikipedia was correct of her birthday, she is born on 20 October 1934 with an estimate time of birth at 7.43 a.m.

A pure Qi of Jia Wood appears on almost all the Heavenly Stems in her BaZi Chart indicate nobility in life whether or not she is born into one. Her chart is surrounded by wealth stars [earth element]. Her first Luck Pillar saw the Gui You [Direct Resource and Direct Officer Star]. This indicates that she was already from a comfortable wealthy family with good name. In her Spouse Palace shows support from the Direct Resource Star indicates comfort of life as well as support from her husband.

Note that the Fu Yin on the Year and Month Pillars [Jia Xu]. Yes, being The Empress of Japan is not easy. Furthermore she is not from the expected noble family of Japan make it even more difficult. In Time Online, Empress Michiko of Japan has spoken of the "sorrow and anxiety" she experienced as the first commoner to marry into Japanese royalty, and of her fantasy of donning a magic coat of invisibility to escape the constraints of life within the Imperial Family.

Her BaZi chart is also differing from the traditional BaZi reading of what a woman with grace should have. In the traditional conservative old days, woman was expected to "yield to others; let her put others first, herself last." "When she is young, she obeys her father; when she is married, she obeys her husband; when she is widowed, she obeys her son."

Therefore, in the woman chart those days were preferred to see some of these features:

• A yin Heavenly Stem Day Master
• Day Master should not be overly strong
• One strong Direct Officer Star
• Eating God Star was the preferred Star for Output

However, you would not find those in Empress Michiko' BaZi because as the modern Empress she cannot stay in the background and lived a life of a traditional good wife that hardly come-out from the house. Her official duties bring her more contact of the outside world than one can thought of. Hence, the Hurting Officer Star is much preferred but with certain condition. The Hurting Officer Star must not be overtly strong as it hurts the Direct Officer. It must be suppressed like Empress Michiko's Hurting Officer Star which is in the graveyards. Hence, the outspoken manner is tempered and checked.

A yang Day Master is also preferred because a yin Day Master would have withered away and calls it a quit when faced with many obstacles, suffering and opposition from the old conservative Imperial Family. It would also take a strong persistence lady with a stubborn streak to bring modernisation and break free from the suffocating court etiquette of world's oldest hereditary monarchy.

In 1946 when the Emperor Hirohito publicly disclaimed his divine origin, he may had already recognized that there was a need to bring modernization to the age old Imperial Family. Under his disclamation, schoolchildren no longer have to bow low before an unveiled portrait of the God-Emperor, whose dynasty was very ancient and old. For the first time in 2,600 years, an Emperor of Japan went among the common people—not just to drive in state through "dead cities" where everyone was compelled to avert his face, but to visit factories and chat with workers.

When Michiko Shoda stepped into the shoe of Crown Princess, she also inadvertently fitted into the role of modernising the Royal Imperial Family of Japan. Although there were wide spread of disapproval and opposition from the former court nobility but the Imperial Household Council must have realised this need when they approved the engagement of the Crown Prince to Michiko Shōda on 27 November 1958.

Empress Michiko of Japan may have a Bazi of nobility and wealth but it did not promise of an easy life. However, she fairs better than other marrying into the same status as her as she has her husband full support and love.

Walter Owen Bentley

Yes! I'm writing about my dream car. J Walter Owen Bentley was the founder of Bentley Motors Limited. He was better known as W.O. Bentley or "W.O." Born on 16 September 1888, at an estimate time of 6 a.m., below was his BaZi chart.

W.O. was more of a pioneer than an entrepreneur given the very prominent Rob Wealth Structure on the Month Pillar although his Day Master did sat on an Indirect Wealth Star.

W.O. was an engineer by profession. His designed of a high-tech four-cylinder engine and sturdy chassis, the Bentley 3 Litre, earned him widespread acclaim for its durability. In my weekly update, I have mentioned that Geng Wu is the Jia Zi for automobile company. The Ding Fire in the Wu Horse was needed to forge the Geng Metal. W.O. had strenuously working on the speed, the horse power and the durability of his engineered car. Founding the motor company [Geng Wu] had given him the opportunity to make connection with high status and wealthy people whereby his Rob Wealth Structure as well as the Geng Metal played important role. While Geng and Xin Metal were about branding, the Xin Metal showed his ambition and ultimate goal to lead his Bentley brand into the high-end luxury car sector.

However, being a strong Geng Metal person [born at the peak of autumn], more metal element means negative outcome. W.O. launched his luxury cars at the most wrong timing ever could be, U.S. went into Great Depression! Rolls-Royce [Rob Wealth Star] took over his company. There on Bentley brand no longer in the hand of W.O., was made famous by his Xin Metal brothers, the Rob Wealth Stars.

He founded Bentley after World War I in 1919 which was the Wu Wu year. Notice the important element of Ding Fire in the Wu Horse. It was used to forge the Geng Metal into an axe and chopped the wood in the Yin Tiger.

The Tiger in the Spouse Palace represented the Heavenly Noble Virtue. It indicated nobleman in W.O. life and Woolf Barnato was one of his noblemen. Bentley cars set many records at Le Mans under "Bentley Boy" which was a group formed by wealthy British motorists. Woolf Barnato was the only driver in "Bentley Boy" to win on all three times he entered, giving him the highest victory percentage. The racing success failed to keep the company afloat. In the Luck Pillar of 37, the half combination of Chou Ox [Luck Pillar] and a combination of Zi Rat [Year Branch] indicated the need to source for partnership because the company was short of fund [Xin Metal (Stem on Month Pillar) clashed out the Yi Wood (Stem on Luck Pillar)]. W.O. turned to millionaire Woolf Barnato to raise cash, which resulted in Barnato effectively became the major shareholder. A great deal of Barnato fortune was used to keep Bentley afloat.

In the year 1929 [Ji Si], the Wall Street crash affected Bentley's business badly especially with it launched of the ultra-rich model car at that time. The Si Snake [Annual Pillar] was in a harm relationship with the Yin Tiger [Day Branch] which was W.O.'s Nobleman Star. The Wall Street crash was followed by the Great Depression, resulted the demand for high-end expensive cars dropped in the 1930s. In the Luck Pillar of 47, the Bing (Stem on Luck Pillar) and Xin (Stem on Month Pillar) involved in a combination to form water to grow the Jia Wood in the Yin Tiger. This indicated funding was needed by W.O.’s partner. Both W.O. and Barnato were force to sell-off Bentley in 1931 to an unknown buyer, which turn-out to be its arch rival Rolls-Royce. Again there was a harm relationship between Wei Goat [Annual Pillar] and Zi Rat [Year Branch]. W.O. later leaved the Bentley Motors after Rolls-Royce closed the racing department. Bentley was resold again to Vickers in August 1980 and fell under Volkswagen Group ownership in 1998. Rolls-Royce also fell under the same faith.

Although W.O. was no longer the owner of Bentley Motor Ltd, his Bentley brand until today never failed to achieve the motto he set-out, "To build a good car, a fast car, the best in class."
