Lu Shiow-yen’s BaZi chart 卢秀燕
Mayor of Taichung since 2018 · born 31 August 1961, Anle, Keelung, Taiwan · date source: Wikipedia
Western zodiac sign: Virgo.
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
Lu Shiow-yen’s day master is Yang Fire: the Sun.
Open and upright, with a warmth that reaches a long way. 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 Ox hides Yin Earth (己, Hurting Officer), Yin Water (癸, Direct Officer), Yin Metal (辛, Direct Wealth); the Monkey hides Yang Metal (庚, Indirect Wealth), Yang Water (壬, Seven Killings), Yang Earth (戊, Eating God); the Monkey hides Yang Metal (庚, Indirect Wealth), Yang Water (壬, Seven Killings), Yang Earth (戊, Eating God).
- 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.
- Direct Officer (Zheng Guan, 正官)
- What controls you, opposite polarity. Authority in its orderly form: office, rule, the structure you fit into.
- 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.
- Indirect Wealth (Pian Cai, 偏财)
- What you control, same polarity. Wealth that comes sideways rather than by salary — the uneven kind.
- 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.
- Eating God (Shi Shen, 食神)
- What you produce, same polarity. Output that comes easily: making, feeding, expressing, without strain.
Day master
What the classic Di Tian Sui (滴天髓) says of this stem, word for word
Yang Fire (丙) is fierce and violent, bullying frost and insulting snow. It can smelt Yang Metal (庚), yet meeting Yin Metal (辛) it turns timid. With Earth in numbers it becomes kind; with Water rampant it shows its constancy. In the country of tiger, horse and dog, let Yang Wood (甲) come and it is destroyed.
丙火猛烈，欺霜侮雪。能煅庚金，逢辛反怯。土众成慈。水猖显节，虎马犬乡，甲来成灭。
Born in a Monkey month (Shen, 申), when Metal rules the season. In that season Yang Fire is imprisoned (Qiu, 囚): held down by what the season produces. (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: Fire Monkey (Bing Shen, 丙申)
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 Fire below the Mountain (山下火), and it says:
White reeds burning in the wild; likes autumn and winter, and Wood.
The original Chinese
白茅野烧，喜秋冬及木
This is what the book says of every Bing Shen day, not of Lu Shiow-yen. The Bing 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, 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
In all twelve hours the Yang Fire day master reads weak. Whatever the hour, the support-and-restrain method favours Wood, Fire — the date alone settles it.

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.
Lu Shiow-yen’s bone weight (Cheng Gu, 称骨)
Lunar date: day 21 of the 7th month, Metal Ox year (辛丑年七月廿一). Its weights: year 0.7 liang, month 0.9 liang, day 1.0 liang — 2.6 liang before the hour. Over the twelve hours that makes 3.2 liang to 4.2 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.
