Mirror, mirror on the wall, what makes the richest in the world?
For more than a decade, Bill Gates tops Forbes World’s Richest People. Some estimate he makes US$250/sec, that’s an average Joe’s eon hours of work! Gosh, is he alien or is he man? Since he first landed on 1955-10-28 at 10pm, the Orient will decode it as such:

Ba Zi (birth chart) and macro-luck cycles of Bill Gates
Bill’s a Ren (Yang Water) person, born in the 9th, Yang Earth solar month. Superficially, his Water life element appears extremely weak, sitting on Earth elements which will tend to attack it. There is no trace of any supportive root of Water in the Earthly Branches, and no other company amongst the Heavenly Stems. In other words, Bill’s Ren Water is totally alone, its very survival endangered.
On closer scrutiny, there exists a thread of hope: (i) the Wood Year-Stem assists to control the suppressive forces of the Earth Branches; (ii) an immediately adjacent Metal Hour-Stem negotiates the conflict between the Earth Branches and the Ren Water life element. The result is an Earth-Metal-Water-Wood-Fire-Earth productive cycle, which literally breathes life into the chart! This satisfies its first criterion for survival. The second criterion appears in the 10-year macro-luck cycles, which provide him with the much needed Metal and Water elements.
Now, Bill’s Ba Zi displays another interesting phenomenon, that is, all the five elements are present, with the Earth element dominating and forming the entire base structure of the chart. As Earth is often considered catchment or burial ground, the respective elements existing as Heavenly Stems allude to an emergence out of the ground, revealing true natures. The Chinese coins a term for it: Chu Tou (lift up one’s head), implying accomplishment or achievement. The clear distinction between these elements and the Earth catapults Bill’s Ba Zi to a higher stratosphere, where he stands to gain what those elements represent: Metal - status, Wood - creativity, Fire - wealth.
And for Bill, wealth comes in abundance. Why? Because he has three catchments of Fire, the Dogs! Even his Year-Branch, the zodiac sign of Goat, has a hidden root of Fire (wealth). Of course, the nature of his wealth as indicated by the Yang Fire Month-Stem, is that of the unconventional type (Pian Cai), which usually manifests in larger quantities as compared to the conventional type.
It may be worthy to note also that Geng Xu, residing in his Hour Pillar, is a formation known as Kui Gang. Geng is Yang Metal, an element that is critically useful to Bill’s weak Water life element. As the Hour Pillar is a person’s career palace, having a useful element there will tend to favour his career. In Bill’s case, it is further accentuated by the special Kui Gang formation, which manifests as his extraordinary charisma, business savvy and achievements at work.
But aye, I’m just an average Joe aiming for a break. I’ve got no special formation of our legendary Gates, only Water life element though quite unlike that of his Day’s. Oh, perhaps I can keep three dogs to make up for the lack. Perhaps, perhaps, perhaps…
