Han Kuo-yu’s BaZi chart 韩国瑜
President of the Legislative Yuan since 2024; Mayor of Kaohsiung, 2018–2020 · born 17 June 1957, New Taipei, Taiwan · date source: Wikipedia
Western zodiac sign: Gemini.
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
Han Kuo-yu’s day master is Yang Metal: the Sword.
Brave and firm, and stands by what is right. 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 Rooster hides Yin Metal (辛, Rob Wealth); the Horse hides Yin Fire (丁, Direct Officer), Yin Earth (己, Direct Resource); the Monkey hides Yang Metal (庚, Friend), Yang Water (壬, Eating God), Yang Earth (戊, Indirect Resource).
- Direct Officer (Zheng Guan, 正官)
- What controls you, opposite polarity. Authority in its orderly form: office, rule, the structure you fit into.
- 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.
- 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.
- Friend (Bi Jian, 比肩)
- Same element, same polarity as you. A peer: someone standing where you stand, competing for the same thing and equally able to share the load.
- Eating God (Shi Shen, 食神)
- What you produce, same polarity. Output that comes easily: making, feeding, expressing, without strain.
- 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).
Day master
What the classic Di Tian Sui (滴天髓) says of this stem, word for word
Yang Metal (庚) carries the killing force (Sha, 煞) and is hard and strong above all. Getting Water it is clear; getting Fire it is keen. Earth moist and it is produced; Earth dry and it is brittle. It can beat elder brother Yang Wood (甲) and loses to younger sister Yin Wood (乙).
庚金带煞，刚健为最，得水而清，得火而锐，土润则生，土干则脆，能赢甲兄，输于乙妹。
Born in a Horse month (Wu, 午), when Fire rules the season. In that season Yang Metal 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: Metal Monkey (Geng Shen, 庚申)
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 Pomegranate Wood (石榴木), and it says:
Pomegranate flower; likes summer, and does not suit autumn or winter.
The original Chinese
榴花，喜夏，不宜秋冬
This is what the book says of every Geng Shen day, not of Han Kuo-yu. The Geng Shen 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, Earth, Water. 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, 1 read strong and 11 weak (strong: the Dragon hours). Strength, and the useful element that follows from it, depend on the hour — the date alone cannot settle them.

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.
Han Kuo-yu’s bone weight (Cheng Gu, 称骨)
Lunar date: day 20 of the 5th month, Fire Rooster year (丁酉年五月二十). Its weights: year 1.4 liang, month 0.5 liang, day 1.5 liang — 3.4 liang before the hour. Over the twelve hours that makes 4.0 liang to 5.0 liang.
This date falls on a cell where one of the four published tables differs, which would move every total by 0.5 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.
