Anthony Joshua

Shang Guan (Outputting Talent) generating Wealth; Metal and Water in clarity. This decade marks the initial awakening of the Great Life Cycle energy. The abundance of Metal and Water elements suggests that from a young age, the subject displayed extraordinary vitality and an unconstrained personality. The Heavenly Stem Gui Water represents the Wealth Star, signifying early contact with the material world and a sense of realism. The Earthly Branch You Metal represents Shang Guan (Outputting Talent; technically: Hurting Officer), an energy that denotes not only the manifestation of talent but also rebellion, restlessness, and a tendency to challenge rules. For a future boxing champion, this restless 'Shang Guan' energy is the very source of his later explosive power, though it also hints at potential academic or disciplinary challenges during youth as this energy sought an outlet.

Shang Guan (Outputting Talent) expressing brilliance; early signs of prominence. In the early stages of education and growth, the energy of Shang Guan often manifests as a dislike for dry theoretical learning, favoring instead physical action or artistic and athletic talent. You Metal forms a partial harmony with the Si Fire in the Year Branch of the original natal chart; this energetic pull allows him to stand out easily in groups, though his strong personality may also spark conflicts. This decade is not a period of career accumulation in the traditional sense, but rather a time for tempering physique and character, laying the psychological foundation for his later choice of high-intensity competitive sports.

Wealth Star protruding in the Stems; early but shallow connections. With Gui Water (Direct Wealth) appearing in the Heavenly Stems, this usually does not represent marriage or romance during youth, but rather points to interactions with the father or male elders, and an initial cognition of the material world. Due to the excessive strength of Shang Guan, he may have appeared self-centered or sharp in social interactions, easily becoming a leader among peers but also prone to clashing with elders.

Strong Metal and cold Water; Earth energy is drained. Strong Metal exhausting the vitality of the Wu Earth Day Master can lead to a weaker digestive system (Spleen and Stomach) or respiratory sensitivity. Prematurely intense physical activity may lead to minor limb injuries; attention should be paid to the maintenance of bones and tendons.

Shi Shen (Talent Star) generating Indirect Wealth; Yi Ma (Mobility Star) encountering a clash. This decade is the decisive turning point in Anthony Joshua's life. The Earthly Branch Shen Metal represents Shi Shen (Talent Star; technically: Eating God), signifying focused skill, physical dedication, and material enjoyment. The Heavenly Stem Ren Water represents Pian Cai (Indirect Wealth), signifying unexpected fortune, immense desire, and unstable opportunities. Shen Metal is also the 'Yi Ma (Mobility Star)' in the chart, governing change and movement. This energy pushed him into a realm where instability and opportunity coexisted: on one hand, the temptation of street life (the negative side of Indirect Wealth); on the other, the awakening of athletic talent (the positive side of Shi Shen). Ultimately, the potential of 'Shi Shen controlling the Indirect Officer' was activated by boxing, transforming violent impulses into dominance in the ring.

Shi Shen (Talent Star) controlling the Indirect Officer; Indirect Wealth entering the storehouse. His career underwent a dramatic shift from confusion to focus. Early on, influenced by Ren Water (Indirect Wealth), he was involved in street-level risks (his 2011 arrest), reflecting the greed and risk associated with Indirect Wealth. However, Shen Metal (Shi Shen), acting as a strong root and outlet for the Wu Earth Day Master, provided the perfect channel for his excess energy—boxing. Shi Shen represents the meticulous honing of skill; during this decade, he leaped from amateur to Olympic Champion (2012 London Gold). The positive effects of Indirect Wealth followed, as fame rapidly converted into commercial value, launching his lucrative professional boxing career.

Flowing Indirect Wealth; turbulent charisma. In a male chart, Indirect Wealth also represents lovers and unstable romantic connections. Due to his rising fame and high hormones during this decade, his charisma with the opposite sex was excellent, though most relationships were likely transient or unstable. Shen Metal repeating in the Day Branch (Palace of Marriage) suggests that while his emotional life was rich, his inner focus remained on self-growth and tempering, making it difficult to settle down.

Mixing of Water and Earth; excessive consumption. Extremely high-intensity training (Shi Shen exhausting the self) is a massive drain on the body. Despite his youth and strength, the conflict between Water and Earth can trigger hidden issues in the kidney or urinary system, and one must be wary of the long-term wear and tear on joints from sports injuries.

Shang Guan (Outputting Talent) supported by the Seal; dry Earth making Metal brittle. This is a decade of immense brilliance but also hidden crises. The Heavenly Stem Xin Metal is Shang Guan, governing fame, display, and aggression—shining as brightly as a champion's gold belt. The Earthly Branch Wei Earth is Jie Cai (Competitor Star; technically: Rob Wealth), representing rivals, peer pressure, and the extreme overextension of physical strength. Wei Earth forms a 'Punishment' relationship with the Xu Earth in the Month Branch, stirring up the heavy and stubborn nature of Earth. During this decade, he ascended to the throne of World Heavyweight Champion; Shang Guan allowed him to enjoy the spotlight, but the Punishment in the branches also foreshadowed inevitable setbacks and being surrounded by formidable enemies.

Shang Guan (Outputting Talent) driving the Indirect Officer; fame spreading across the four seas. His career reached its zenith. With Xin Metal (Shang Guan) protruding, his technical style became more ornamental and destructive, perfectly aligning with the commercial needs of professional boxing. His 2017 victory over Klitschko was the ultimate manifestation of Shang Guan energy. However, the appearance of Wei Earth (Competitor Star) meant that powerful rivals were always present. The unexpected loss to Ruiz in 2019 (Ji Hai year) occurred when the annual energy triggered the unstable forces in his chart, leading to fluctuations in form. Nevertheless, this decade was a period of massive wealth accumulation as Shang Guan generated wealth, establishing his commercial empire.

Competitor Star clashing with Wealth; more separation than togetherness. A Jie Cai (Competitor Star) cycle is often unfavorable for a man's romantic life, suggesting the emergence of rivals or the neglect of a partner due to career busyness and loyalty to friends. Wei Earth is a dry soil that not only punishes the month pillar but also increases stubbornness and dominance in the personality, making it difficult to establish a stable, long-term intimate relationship, often resulting in a state of 'King's Loneliness.'

Heavy Earth burying Metal; dry heat damaging the Lungs. Excessive Earth energy tends to bury Metal (Lungs, respiratory system), and the Wei-Xu punishment leads to parched heat in the Fire and Earth elements. This decade makes one prone to muscle stiffness and slow inflammatory responses. Emotionally, he may be prone to irritability and anxiety; care should be taken regarding cardiovascular health.

Conflict between Fire and Metal; the Owl Star suppressing Talent. Entering middle age, the cycle moves into Geng Wu. The Heavenly Stem Geng Metal is Shi Shen (Talent Star), representing a continued desire to let his skills and strength speak. However, the Earthly Branch Wu Fire is the Direct Resource (appearing in this combination as the 'Owl Star' suppressing talent). Wu Fire forms a 'Three-Way Fire Combination' with the original Xu and Si. This extremely potent Fire energy suppresses the Geng Metal (Talent Star). This means his technical execution (Shi Shen) is severely suppressed by mental burdens, indecision, or external public opinion (excessive Resource stars). This decade is a painful period of transition, often accompanied by the frustration of 'having the will to fight but lacking the power to prevail,' requiring a shift from frontline combat to the application of behind-the-scenes wisdom.

Strong Resource and strong Self; retreating to safety. Career fortune shifts from offense to defense. The excessive Fire makes the Self too strong, meaning he no longer needs extra support; too much 'Resource' (coaching teams, tactical theories) becomes a burden, leading to overthinking and hesitation in the ring (as seen in the 2022 loss to Usyk and 2024 loss to Dubois). With Shi Shen suppressed, the golden age of relying on his physique has passed. Regarding wealth, the Resource Star governs reputation and assets; his income structure will shift from fight purses to brand endorsements, investment returns, and the operation of his business empire. Despite a decline in competitive form, his asset base remains profound.

Resource Star nourishing the Self; returning to family. The Direct Resource governs family, the mother, and traditional ethics. During this decade, his mindset will become more peaceful and conservative, with an increased reliance on family. Compared to the restlessness of his youth, this cycle is more conducive to establishing a stable family structure or seeking solace in religion and philosophy.

Blazing Fire and parched Earth; depletion of vital fluids. The Three-Way Fire Combination creates extreme heat. In traditional medicine, 'excessive fire consumes Qi,' leading to insomnia, anxiety, excessive heart load, and circulatory issues. Fire suppressing Metal makes the respiratory system and skin vulnerable points. Psychological decompression and 'cooling' wellness practices are mandatory.

Fu Yin (Repeating Pillar) with the Year Pillar; returning to the roots. The Great Life Cycle Ji Si is identical to the Year Pillar Ji Si. In metaphysics, this is called 'Fu Yin,' signifying a cycle and a return. Ji Earth (Competitor Star) protrudes in the stems, and Si Fire (Indirect Resource) is in the branches; the overall energy is stable and conservative. During this decade, he will completely bid farewell to the frontline competitive stage, transitioning fully into the role of a mentor, promoter, or business leader. Fu Yin also represents stagnation and reflection; the pace of life slows down as he begins to reassess past gains and losses.

Competitor Star assisting the Self; seeking wealth through cooperation. His competitive career ends, and his commercial career matures. Jie Cai (Competitor Star) represents cooperation, teams, and resource integration. His wealth growth will no longer depend on individual heroism but on the business empire and team operations he has built. While Jie Cai can also mean high expenses or profit-sharing with friends, the Indirect Resource (Si Fire) provides sharp business intuition. He may dedicate himself to cultivating newcomers, converting his personal influence into institutional influence.

Abundant Peers; brotherhood and loyalty. His social circle solidifies, with more interactions with old friends and business partners. The Fu Yin with the Year Pillar also suggests spending more time on family affairs or developing roots in his hometown. Romantic life becomes subdued, manifesting more as familial affection and loyalty.

Fire and Earth both prosperous; caution against gradual changes. A Fu Yin year often brings physical signals. Excessive Earth energy poses risks of 'the three highs' (high blood lipids, high blood sugar) and the decline of Spleen and Stomach functions. Diet must be strictly controlled to avoid metabolic syndrome associated with middle-age weight gain.

Stacked Parallel Stars; clashing open the Wealth Storehouse. Entering the age of 'knowing one's destiny,' the Wu Chen Earth cycle arrives. Chen Earth is the Water Storehouse (Wealth Storehouse), which clashes with the Xu Earth (Month Branch) in the natal chart. In metaphysics, a clash of the Wealth Storehouse often signifies massive movement of wealth—either a huge release of assets or depletion due to investment errors. This decade is a critical period for preservation and asset restructuring; the main theme is the gamble between 'stability' and 'change.'

Clashing open the Tomb Storehouse; asset inventory. The Chen-Xu clash stirs up the instability of Earth. He no longer needs to be hands-on in his career; it is primarily about asset management. If the chart favors Wealth, clashing the storehouse brings a fortune; if the Self is too strong and dislikes Earth, he may lose money due to stubbornness or being dragged down by friends. For someone of his wealth, extreme caution regarding high-risk investments is needed. His status as a sports legend remains solid, but he must guard against late-career reputation damage or commercial disputes.

Clashes among kin; a sense of loneliness arises. The Chen-Xu clash involves the palaces of parents and siblings, potentially leading to the passing of elders or internal family disputes. Those with excessive Bi Jian (Parallel Stars) tend to fall into self-isolation or stubbornness in their later years; communication gaps with children may exist, and he must learn to let go.

Earth energy clashing; prevention of growths and tumors. The Chen-Xu clash agitates Earth energy. Earth governs cells, muscles, and the digestive system. Such strong agitation in old age can induce hyperplastic diseases, stones, or tumors. Regular, in-depth physical examinations are essential.

Officer and Resource producing each other; highly respected. Late-life fortune enters the Eastern Wood region. The Heavenly Stem Ding Fire is the Direct Resource, and the Earthly Branch Mao Wood is the Direct Officer. Mao Wood forms a 'Six Harmony' with the Xu Earth of the Month Branch, neutralizing the dry heat of the original chart. This is a very auspicious late-life cycle, symbolizing honors and high social status. The Direct Officer represents order and prestige, while the Direct Resource represents compassion and care. During this decade, he will appear as a philanthropist and spiritual leader, enjoying a peaceful and honorable retirement.

Fame and fortune both achieved; spiritual abundance. He no longer pursues the growth of worldly wealth but the preservation of a spiritual legacy. The mutual generation of Officer and Resource is a sign of nobility; he may receive lifetime achievement awards, titles, or honorary positions in major organizations. Passive income is stable and largely used for public welfare or family legacy.

Peach Blossom (Charisma / Romance) encountering harmony; family concord. The Mao-Xu harmony (transforming into Fire) brings healing and fusion to family relationships. Connections with children and the younger generation become intimate, allowing him to enjoy the happiness of family life. The Direct Officer cycle gives him a more venerable and respected demeanor.

Wood and Fire in brilliance; pay attention to the Liver. Overall health fortune is stable. Mao Wood generates Fire, ensuring smooth circulation of Qi and blood. However, care should be taken with the Liver and Gallbladder system (Mao Wood), and one should avoid cardiovascular fluctuations caused by emotional excitement.

Qi Sha (Indirect Officer) and Resource in harmony; the land of Long Life. Bing Fire (Indirect Resource) protrudes in the stems, sitting atop the 'Long Life' position of Yin Wood. Yin Wood is the Qi Sha (Indirect Officer), which forms a 'Three-Way Punishment' (Yin-Si-Shen) with the natal chart. This is a slightly dangerous signal in late life. While the harmony between the Indirect Officer and Resource suggests his authority remains undiminished, the Three-Way Punishment involves the foundation of the body (Year Branch Si) and the Palace of Marriage (Day Branch Shen). This decade may face significant health hurdles, requiring strong medical resources (Resource Star) to maintain.

Authority remains; layout for the future. Even at an advanced age, he maintains a certain level of influence. Qi Sha represents majesty, and the Indirect Resource represents unique thinking. This decade is primarily about handling post-life matters such as inheritance distribution and family trusts to ensure the family's longevity.

Three-Way Punishment entering the life; injury to kin. The Yin-Si-Shen punishment is usually unfavorable for relationships with close relatives; a partner may face health issues, or there may be disputes with those around him. He needs to maintain inner peace and avoid getting involved in conflicts.

Punishment clashing with bones; prevention of falls. The Yin-Shen clash and the complete Three-Way Punishment seriously affect the skeletal and nervous systems. It is very easy for elderly conditions like falls, strokes, or neuralgia to occur. Movement must be extremely cautious.

Officer Star protruding; returning to the Earth. Yi Wood (Direct Officer) appears, and the Earthly Branch Chou Earth is the Metal Storehouse. This is a peaceful concluding cycle. Everything returns to tranquility, and life energy gradually turns inward. Chou Earth is moist, dimming Fire and generating Metal, providing a regulatory balance to the dry heat of the chart, leading to a serene late life.

Final judgment rendered; a name left in history. The merits and demerits of life are settled, and he becomes a part of history.

Family joy; letting nature take its course.

Decline of Qi and blood; following the mandate of heaven.
