Chiang Ching-kuo’s BaZi chart 蒋经国
President of the Republic of China (Taiwan), 1978–1988 · born 27 April 1910, Xikou, Fenghua, Zhejiang, China · date source: Wikipedia
Western zodiac sign: Taurus.
No birth time has been published. The date fixes three of the four pillars; the fourth is one of twelve. Below, everything the date settles is computed, and everything that turns on the hour is cast all twelve ways — without picking one on anyone’s behalf.
In short
Chiang Ching-kuo’s day master is Yang Water: the Ocean.
Deep and far-reaching, with a plan for everything. The day master comes from the day of birth alone; about one person in ten shares it.

What the labels mean
Each pillar is two characters: a stem on top (an element, yin or yang) and a branch below (one of the twelve zodiac animals). The day stem is the day master — the person. The label above each other stem is its ten god (Shi Shen, 十神): what that element is to the day master.
Each animal also hides stems of its own, strongest first: the Dog hides Yang Earth (戊, Seven Killings), Yin Metal (辛, Direct Resource), Yin Fire (丁, Direct Wealth); the Dragon hides Yang Earth (戊, Seven Killings), Yin Wood (乙, Hurting Officer), Yin Water (癸, Rob Wealth); the Dog hides Yang Earth (戊, Seven Killings), Yin Metal (辛, Direct Resource), Yin Fire (丁, Direct Wealth).
- Indirect Resource (Pian Yin, 偏印)
- What produces you, same polarity. Support of an indirect kind — the tradition treats it as nourishment that can also crowd out the Eating God (食神).
- Seven Killings (Qi Sha, 七杀)
- What controls you, same polarity. Pressure with nothing softening it: demand, risk, and whatever you answer to whether you chose it or not.
- Direct Resource (Zheng Yin, 正印)
- What produces you, opposite polarity. Straightforward support: what teaches, shelters and backs you.
- Direct Wealth (Zheng Cai, 正财)
- What you control, opposite polarity. Wealth held steadily — earned, kept, accounted for.
- Hurting Officer (Shang Guan, 伤官)
- What you produce, opposite polarity. Output with an edge on it. The name means it injures the Direct Officer (正官), which is why the tradition reads it as talent that does not sit well with authority.
- Rob Wealth (Jie Cai, 劫财)
- Same element, opposite polarity. A peer who takes rather than shares — the tradition reads it as what draws on your resources through people close to you.
Day master
What the classic Di Tian Sui (滴天髓) says of this stem, word for word
Yang Water (壬) runs through to the river and can drain the qi of Metal. Its virtue is hardness within; it flows round and does not stagnate. Rooted below and Yin Water (癸) showing above, it charges heaven and rushes the earth. Transformed it has feeling; following, it makes good the other.
壬水通河，能泄金气，刚中之德，周流不滞，通根透癸，冲天奔地，化则有情，从则相济。
Born in a Dragon month (Chen, 辰), when Earth rules the season. In that season Yang Water is dead (Si, 死): the season controls it. (One of five seasonal states, Wang Xiang Xiu Qiu Si, 旺相休囚死, after the San Ming Tong Hui, 三命通會, book 2.)
Day pillar: Water Dog (Ren Xu, 壬戌)
The classic San Ming Tong Hui (三命通会) gives each of the sixty day pillars an image, its sound element (Na Yin, 纳音). For this one it is Water of the Great Sea (大海水), and it says:
The sea; likes spring, summer and Wood.
The original Chinese
海也，喜春夏及木
This is what the book says of every Ren Xu day, not of Chiang Ching-kuo. The Ren Xu day pillar › (what the classic says at each birth hour, what the branch holds, and others born on one)
Elements in the six known characters
None of the six is Wood, Fire. The hour pillar’s two characters may supply it or may not — that depends on the hour. Hidden stems are not counted here.
All twelve hours, cast one by one
Of the twelve hours, 2 read strong and 10 weak (strong: the Rat, Pig hours). Strength, and the useful element that follows from it, depend on the hour — the date alone cannot settle them.
| Hour | Solar time | Hour pillar | Its ten god | Three tests | Strength | Favoured |

| Rat (子) | 00–01 | 庚子Metal Rat | Indirect Resource (偏印) | out of season rooted backed | strong | Wood, Fire, Earth |

Each row is exactly what the full calculator would say for a birth in that hour. Strength comes from three tests: in season (De Ling, 得令) — born in the season of the day master’s own element; rooted (De Di, 得地) — the same element hidden in a branch; backed (De Shi, 得势) — as much support around it as drain. Two of three reads strong. The favoured elements come from support and restrain (Fu Yi, 扶抑): a strong day master wants draining, a weak one wants support. There are three other methods for the useful element — climate (Tiao Hou, 调候), bridging (Tong Guan, 通關) and disease and cure (Bing Yao, 病藥) — each from its own text; see the useful god page. Hours are solar time at the birthplace, so a clock time needs correcting first; and a birth after 23:00 falls in the late Rat hour, where the two schools disagree about whether the day has turned.
Chiang Ching-kuo’s bone weight (Cheng Gu, 称骨)
Lunar date: day 18 of the 3rd month, Metal Dog year (庚戌年三月十八). Its weights: year 0.9 liang, month 1.8 liang, day 1.8 liang — 4.5 liang before the hour. Over the twelve hours that makes 5.1 liang to 6.1 liang.
This date falls on a cell where one of the four published tables differs, which would move every total by 1.0 liang.
Bone weighing is a folk almanac sum over the calendar positions of the year, month, day and hour — not the elements, and not the chart above. How heavy is heavy? The tables and the spread ›
And yours?
You have your own birth time, so your chart needs no table of twelve — all four pillars, corrected to true solar time with the timezone actually in force where and when you were born.
About this page
This page computes; it does not interpret. The birth date is public and its source is linked; the birth time is not, so the hour pillar and everything that depends on it are set out all twelve ways.
Nothing here claims that anyone is who they are because of a chart, and nothing here forecasts years, health or lifespan for anyone living.
Your own 2027, month by month
The full report reads 2027 month by month from your own birth date, time and place.
