Lesson 6: Putting it All Together for a Complete Analysis
In this lesson, we will use what we have learned so far to do a complete analysis using all three techniques. We will use example charts to blend and contrast all techniques, showing every aspect of a person's fortune and character.
Our Example Chart - Blending 4-Pillars with Nine-Star Ki
Since we have mostly been working with the chart of Saddam Hussein, it will be instructive to start the blending of techniques with this familiar chart. Saddam's Nine Star Ki signature is 9-3-2; it is fitting that he has a Purple Fire Star as a primary number! Under stress, he reverts to a 3 Bright Green Tree Star which can be quite thunderous and explosive, as we have seen. However, the image he projects to the people is that of a gentle 2 or mother figure.
Relating this to his 4-Pillars chart, the 2 energy is quite similar to that of his birth year, the Ox. He was also born in a Yin Fire year, which aligns well with the number 9 Fire Star as well. The day animal is the Rooster, a highly expressive sign and similar to the 9 energy. Both the Fire Ox and the 9-3 combinations show that he is despotic and opinionated, as well as explosive. The day stem element is Wood, this ties in well with the Number 3 tree star which is also wood.
Although these two techniques are very different, they can be used to reinforce the separate analysis of each and blended together to give a complete picture of an individual.
