Victor Wong’s BaZi chart 品冠

Singer-songwriter · born 26 February 1972, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia · date source: Wikipedia

Western zodiac sign: Pisces.

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.

A woman holding a lit candle

In short

Victor Wong’s day master is Yin Fire: the Candle.

Courteous and steady, and stronger than it looks. 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 Rat hides Yin Water (癸, Seven Killings); the Tiger hides Yang Wood (甲, Direct Resource), Yang Fire (丙, Rob Wealth), Yang Earth (戊, Hurting Officer); the Pig hides Yang Water (壬, Direct Officer), Yang Wood (甲, Direct Resource).

Direct Officer (Zheng Guan, 正官)
What controls you, opposite polarity. Authority in its orderly form: office, rule, the structure you fit into.
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.
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.
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.

Day master

丁 The Candle Yin Fire (Ding)
What the classic Di Tian Sui (滴天髓) says of this stem, word for word

Yin Fire (丁) is soft within, its inner nature bright and blending. Embracing Yin Wood (乙) it is filial, binding Yang Water (壬) it is loyal. Strong, it is not fierce; declining, it is not spent. If it has a true mother, it can take autumn or winter.

丁火柔中,内性昭融,抱乙而孝,合壬而忠,旺而不烈,衰而不穷,如有嫡母,可秋可冬。

Born in a Tiger month (Yin, 寅), when Wood rules the season. In that season Yin Fire is rising (Xiang, 相): the season produces 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: Fire Pig (Ding Hai, 丁亥)

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 Earth on the Roof (屋上土), and it says:

Open plain; likes Fire and Wood.

The original Chinese

平原,喜火及木

This is what the book says of every Ding Hai day, not of Victor Wong. The Ding Hai 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

木 Wood × 1 火 Fire × 1 土 Earth × 0 金 Metal × 0 水 Water × 4

None of the six is Earth, Metal. 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 Yin 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.

Victor Wong’s bone weight (Cheng Gu, 称骨)

Lunar date: day 12 of the 1st month, Water Rat year (壬子年正月十二). Its weights: year 0.5 liang, month 0.6 liang, day 1.7 liang — 2.8 liang before the hour. Over the twelve hours that makes 3.4 liang to 4.4 liang.

Rat (子) 4.4 liang Ox (丑) 3.4 liang Tiger (寅) 3.5 liang Rabbit (卯) 3.8 liang Dragon (辰) 3.7 liang Snake (巳) 4.4 liang Horse (午) 3.8 liang Goat (未) 3.6 liang Monkey (申) 3.6 liang Rooster (酉) 3.7 liang Dog (戌) 3.4 liang Pig (亥) 3.4 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.
