Jackie Chan

The Indirect Officer (Qi Sha) exerts pressure, while Fire and Earth dominate.
This decade represents the most arduous and foundational period of the subject's life. The Gui Water Daymaster is inherently weak, and the Heavenly Stem of this luck pillar reveals Ji Earth (Indirect Officer), while the Earthly Branch Si Fire strengthens the Fire-Earth momentum, creating immense pressure and exhaustion for the Daymaster. The Indirect Officer (Qi Sha) symbolizes strict discipline, high-intensity physical hardship, and extreme suppression. This coincides with Jackie Chan's entry into the China Drama Academy (Peking Opera school), undergoing the rigorous 'hell-style' training under Master Yu Jim-yuen. Under this influence, personal free will was entirely suppressed, and life was filled with the blood and tears of corporal punishment and practice. However, it was precisely this 'body-striking' pressure that forged a physical foundation far beyond that of ordinary people.

Wealth generates the Indirect Officer; labor without reward.
At this stage, there was no 'career' in the true sense, but rather the passive acquisition of survival skills. The Earthly Branch Si Fire acts as the Wealth Star, but for a weak Daymaster, excessive Wealth becomes a burden, manifesting as exchanging grueling physical labor for meager survival resources. From the 'Seven Little Fortunes' performance era to later becoming a 'stuntman' (martial arts performer) on film sets, he survived under the shadow of the Indirect Officer (Qi Sha). Although involved in film production, he remained anonymous, with effort and reward being vastly disproportionate—a typical 'hard labor' fortune.

A mixture of Officers; isolated and without aid.
Interpersonally, an environment dominated by the Indirect Officer (Qi Sha) means being surrounded by powerful authority figures and competitors. In the opera troupe, the master-disciple relationship was like that of a monarch and subject; absolute obedience was the only rule. Peers were both brothers and potential rivals. This decade lacked the protection of strong Mentors (Resource Stars/Yin were absent). The subject had to learn how to survive in the cracks, an environment that shaped his later character: observant, extremely professional, yet deeply aware of the dangers of the world.

Blazing Fire and Parched Earth; Water energy is damaged.
Excessive Fire and Earth severely suppress the Gui Water Daymaster. Water governs the kidneys, blood, and the skeletal/ligament system. High-intensity training involving falls and injuries during the critical growth period left numerous hidden traumas. While youth allowed for quick recovery, the over-exhaustion of bones and muscles laid the foundation for systemic pain in later years.

Direct Resource (Zheng Yin) emerges; finding life in a desperate situation.
This decade is the turning point where the subject transitioned from a stuntman to a lead actor. The Heavenly Stem Geng Metal (Direct Resource) finally appears. For the weak Gui Water, the Resource Star is the only lifeline and protective umbrella, signifying fame, seniority, and the appearance of Mentors (Gui Ren). Although the Earthly Branch Wu Fire (Indirect Wealth) continues to drain the Daymaster—indicating that success is accompanied by great controversy and turbulence—the Metal energy in the stems allowed the subject to establish his own 'brand.' From the period of confusion following Bruce Lee's death to the creation of Kung Fu Comedy, this was the process of establishing the Resource Star (personal style/reputation).

Resource Star protects the self; talent is monetized.
In the first five years, he was still searching for his path, failing in attempts to mimic a 'tough guy' style. Once the annual cycles entered the Metal-Water peak (around 1978, despite the heat of the Wu year, the interaction triggered a breakthrough), Drunken Master and Snake in the Eagle's Shadow became massive hits. The 'Resource' represented by Geng Metal systematically packaged the previously chaotic 'Hurting Officer' (Shang Guan/artistic talent), making it not only visually appealing but also market-recognized. Regarding wealth, as his reputation soared, his salary exploded. However, as Wu Fire is Indirect Wealth, it represents wealth gained through movement and risk; every penny was earned by risking his life.

Peach Blossom (Charisma) sits in the life palace; Mentors provide elevation.
Wu Fire is the Peach Blossom Star of the natal chart. With the arrival of this luck pillar, the subject's charisma with the opposite sex exploded, and scandals began to accompany his career. Professionally, the Direct Resource represents elder Mentors, such as key figures like Lo Wei and Ng See-yuen. Despite disputes during cooperation (Wealth clashing with Resource), they objectively pushed him toward superstar status. This decade also saw the embryonic formation of the 'Jackie Chan Stunt Team,' where brotherhood (Peer Stars/Bi Jie) became the moat of his career.

Metal suppressed by Fire; respiratory health is compromised.
Despite the protection of Geng Metal, Wu Fire sits beneath it, 'cutting the legs' of the Metal. Metal governs the lungs, respiratory system, and bones. During this decade, he filmed countless high-risk stunts; a broken nose and various hard injuries due to the lack of stunt doubles were frequent. This was a period of extreme physical depletion.

Indirect Resource (Pian Yin) encounters the Output Star; winning through risk.
This decade was the peak period when Jackie Chan established his 'life-risking' style and dominated the Asian film industry. Xin Metal (Indirect Resource) protrudes, representing unique, unconventional talent and fame, which perfectly aligned with his unique selling point of 'no stunt doubles, real stunts.' The Earthly Branch Wei Earth is the 'Tomb of the Indirect Officer,' and because Wei Earth is parched and hot, a sense of crisis was always present. This was a 'life-gambling' luck pillar; immense fame (Xin Metal) was built upon immense risk (Wei Earth Indirect Officer).

Indirect Officer and Resource in harmony; awe-inspiring influence in Asia.
Professionally, the Indirect Resource dominated unique artistic concepts, producing classics like Project A and Police Story. The 'Officer-Resource' flow signifies the dual acquisition of power and prestige. He was no longer just an actor but became a director and martial arts choreographer, controlling the entire film production process. Wealth accumulation reached staggering heights during the golden era of Golden Harvest. However, Wei Earth is also the 'Arts Star' (Hua Gai), suggesting an extreme sense of loneliness and a paranoid pursuit of art behind the public excitement.

Wealth hidden in the Tomb; secret marriage and children.
Wei Earth contains hidden Yi Wood (Eating God) and Ding Fire (Indirect Wealth), indicating a highly complex and secretive emotional life. The secret marriage and birth of his son occurred during this decade, corresponding to the 'Indirect Resource' tendency to conceal the truth. His public image was glamorous, but his private life (Wealth Star entering the Tomb) was carefully guarded. Regarding brotherhood, the cohesion of the Jackie Chan Stunt Team reached its peak, yet the seeds for its future dissolution were sown.

Parched Earth makes Metal brittle; injuries to the head and face.
Wei Earth is dry earth; it cannot generate Metal but instead makes it brittle. The severe brain injury sustained in 1986 (Bing Yin year) while filming Armour of God occurred because the Fire and Wood of that year fueled the parched Earth of the luck pillar, suppressing the Resource Star (the Longevity Star). This was the closest brush with death in his life, with the head (Metal) being severely damaged.

Metal and Water in harmony; the dragon swims in the great ocean.
This is the most expansive luck pillar of the subject's life. The Heavenly Stem Ren Water (Competitor/Jie Cai) assists the Daymaster, and the Earthly Branch Shen Metal is the 'Birthplace' (Liang Sheng) of Water. It forms a complex but favorable combination with the natal chart (triggering the Water Frame and the Si-Shen Water combination). The weak Gui Water received a powerful, continuous source, signifying a leap in energy levels. Water governs movement and overseas territories; this decade was the key period for his successful entry into Hollywood and becoming an international superstar.

Peer Stars assist the momentum; fame spreads across the seas.
Shen Metal, acting as the 'Mobility Star' (Yi Ma), governed frequent international travel. Ren Water (Competitor/Jie Cai) represents massive public influence and the global expansion of his fan base. The success of Rumble in the Bronx and Rush Hour was the product of the flow between Metal and Water—the fusion of East and West. Wealth was no longer limited to Asian box offices; he completed the global allocation of capital during this pillar. Although 'Jie Cai' also implies massive expenses and profit-sharing, the overall situation was 'Water bringing life,' and his career flourished like a fish in water.

Peach Blossom affects the self; a crisis of reputation.
The protrusion of the Competitor Star (Jie Cai) is good for popularity but easily triggers 'contention.' Specifically, in 1999 (Ji Mao year), the annual cycle formed a complex clash with the luck pillar and natal chart, leading to the famous 'Little Dragon Girl' incident. This is a typical negative effect of 'Jie Cai'—loss of wealth and reputation due to romance (Peach Blossom). While his career was at its zenith, his family relationships and personal moral image faced an unprecedented public relations crisis.

Strong Water and weak Fire; insufficient heart energy.
While the Metal-Water flow favors energy recovery, excessive Water suppresses the Wu and Si Fire in the natal chart. Fire governs the heart, eyes, and blood circulation. Although external injuries decreased during this decade, he needed to be wary of cardiovascular issues and endocrine disorders caused by long-term high-pressure flying.

Chen-You combine into Metal; clear Metal and pure Water.
The fortune continues through the Metal-Water peak. The Heavenly Stem Gui Water (Friend/Bi Jian) assists the self, and the Earthly Branch You Metal combines with the Chen Earth of the Month Branch to transform into Metal. This strong Metal combination further strengthened the power of the Resource Star (Reputation/Status). At this time, Jackie Chan no longer purely pursued thrilling stunts but shifted toward seeking industry status as 'Big Brother' and social influence. This was a transition from a 'warrior' to a 'leader,' with his social status reaching its peak.

Resource Star forms a structure; holding the scepter of power.
The Chen-You combination transforms Earth (Officer) into Metal (Resource). This means he began to receive high-level official recognition (such as becoming a CPPCC member and Olympic Ambassador). In film, works like New Police Story and The Myth began to experiment with dramatic acting and tragic tones—an expression of the Indirect Resource (deep, artistic). Wealth came more from brand licensing, investments, and resource integration as an industry leader, rather than just acting fees.

Peers compete for combinations; constant rumors and disputes.
Despite his high status, the protrusion of the Friend Star (Bi Jian/Peers) often brings burdens or betrayals from those around him. During this decade, he was passionate about mentoring juniors and charity, but he also fell into several media storms due to his remarks. The 'brotherly loyalty' represented by the Friend Star sometimes became a liability under modern business rules, leading to a polarization of his public image.

Excessive Metal makes Water turbid; aging of bones and joints.
Extremely strong Metal energy protects the body, but extremes turn into their opposites. Excessive Metal makes the Water turbid, and You Metal clashes with the Wood (Liver/Gallbladder/Bones) of certain annual cycles. With age, old injuries from early years began to manifest as 'metal fatigue.' Specifically, the liver/gallbladder system (Wood suppressed by Metal) and joint hardening began to trouble his daily life.

The Hurting Officer encounters the Officer; the Chen-Xu Clash.
Entering the Jia Xu luck pillar, life's fortune experiences violent shocks. The Heavenly Stem Jia Wood (Hurting Officer) protrudes, directly clashing with the Xin Metal (remnant of the Officer) within the Earthly Branch Xu. Furthermore, the Earthly Branch Xu Earth violently clashes with the Chen Earth of the Month Branch (the Chen-Xu Clash). This is a classic 'Hurting Officer meets Direct Officer' structure, signifying verbal disputes, legal troubles, and damage to reputation. Clashing with the 'Month Branch' (the foundation) means both the career base and family internal affairs will undergo turmoil.

The Treasury is forced open; loss of fame and wealth.
The Chen-Xu clash is a clash of Water and Earth treasuries, shaking the stability of his career. Although he continued to produce work, public reception was highly polarized (the Hurting Officer represents rebellion and refusing to grow old). The most significant impact was 'legal/official trouble': in 2014 (Jia Wu year), his son's imprisonment for drug offenses was not only a family tragedy but also a direct blow to Jackie Chan's official image as an 'Anti-Drug Ambassador' (Direct Officer), precisely manifesting the negative energy of 'Hurting Officer meets Officer.' While his wealth remained vast, it suffered losses due to investment errors or family changes.

Clashes among the six relations; loneliness in later years.
The Chen-Xu clash directly impacts the Palace of Parents and the Palace of Siblings. During this decade, frequent changes occurred among those close to him, and internal family conflicts became public. The Hurting Officer temperament made him more eager to express himself, but in the eyes of the public, this often turned into 'acting on seniority' or 'misspeaking.' The relationship with his son became the greatest pain of this decade and the most direct manifestation of the fortune's impact.

Wood and Earth in conflict; damage to the spleen and stomach.
The Chen-Xu clash stirs up strong Earth, and Jia Wood further attacks the Earth. Earth governs the spleen, stomach, digestive system, and muscles. This violent elemental conflict led to a significant decline in bodily functions, muscle atrophy, and weakened digestion. Furthermore, strong Earth suppresses Water, leading to a noticeable decline in Kidney Qi (vitality), with signs of aging appearing rapidly toward the end of this pillar.

The Si-Hai Clash; the Mobility Star is struck.
Entering the Yi Hai luck pillar, the Earthly Branch Hai Water (Competitor/Jie Cai) clashes with the Si Fire (Direct Wealth) in the Day Branch. The Day Branch represents the body, family, and inner world. This clash directly shakes the subject's foundation, indicating that this decade will be the period of greatest health fluctuations and restless wandering (Mobility Star clash). Although the Heavenly Stem Yi Wood (Eating God) can generate wealth, the foundation is struck, leaving him with the will but not the strength. Life enters a phase of comprehensive contraction and reflection.

Prosperity and Mobility in conflict; frequent changes.
Si Fire represents the subject's 'Wealth' and 'Mentors.' Being clashed by Hai Water means traditional income sources or partners will undergo major changes. He may travel frequently between different residences, unable to settle down in retirement. Professionally, he will move entirely from the front of the stage to behind the scenes, or exist more as a 'spiritual icon.' High-risk investments should be avoided during this pillar, as the 'Wealth Star being clashed' easily leads to the instantaneous loss of assets.

The Palace of Spouse is struck; domestic unrest.
The Day Branch Si Fire also represents the Palace of Spouse. The Si-Hai clash is one of the most intense among the Six Clashes, suggesting potential health issues for the spouse or a rift in the marital relationship due to changes in residence or trivial life matters. The entry of the Competitor Star (Hai Water) also means he may face financial disputes such as inheritance distribution or loans to relatives in his later years; he must guard against being 'robbed in old age.'

Fire and Water in fierce battle; depletion of both Heart and Kidney.
This is the most dangerous luck pillar for health. The Si-Hai clash is a battle between Water and Fire. Fire governs the cardiovascular system and eyes; Water governs the kidneys and urinary system. Both damaging each other makes him highly susceptible to sudden myocardial infarction, stroke, or serious eye diseases. The year 2025 (Yi Si) triggers a double Si-Hai clash, marking a critical health juncture that requires extreme precaution.

The Zi-Wu Clash; Fire and Water un-reconciled.
Stepping into the Bing Zi luck pillar, the Earthly Branch Zi Water clashes with the Wu Fire of the Year Branch. The Year Branch represents the head, ancestral heritage, and the root of life. This clash strikes at the very source of the natal chart, a sign of massive dissipation of life energy. The Heavenly Stem Bing Fire protrudes as Direct Wealth, but it is suppressed by the branch beneath it, presenting a scene of 'the setting sun is infinitely beautiful, but it is near dusk.'

Wealth Star is hollow; returning to simplicity.
At this point, there is no substantive career to speak of. The focus lies in the inheritance and protection of family wealth. Due to the Zi-Wu clash, there may be final resolutions regarding ancestral property or the ownership of his reputation. Social activities will cease entirely; wealth figures lose their meaning, and what remains is more of a spiritual legacy.

Clashing with the Year Branch; the falling leaf returns to its roots.
A clash with the Year Branch often signifies a strong nostalgia for or return to one's birthplace and ancestors. The interpersonal circle shrinks drastically, revolving mainly around medical care and core relatives. Disputes among the younger generation must be guarded against.

Clashing with the root; the threshold of longevity.
The Zi-Wu clash is a death-struggle between Water and Fire. A clash with the Year Branch often concerns the limit of one's lifespan. The cardiovascular system is extremely fragile, and every elemental fluctuation in the annual cycles could become a major test. Quiet rest is required; extreme emotional highs and lows must be avoided.

Damp Earth dims the Fire; the land of the Tomb.
In the Ding Chou luck pillar, Chou is the 'Tomb of Metal' and also damp earth, which has a powerful ability to dim Fire. For a chart that relies on Fire (Wealth) to maintain vitality, the Fire energy gradually extinguishes, returning to silence. This is a 'Tomb' (Mu) luck pillar, symbolizing the dormancy of life and final rest.

Inheritance finalized; fame after life.
Worldly wealth has become passing clouds. This stage is mainly manifested in the management of his estate and copyrights by his descendants. His name will become a cultural symbol of an era.

Resonance between Heaven and Man; the spirit lives forever.
Realistic interpersonal interactions have basically been severed; he exists in film archives and the memories of future generations.

The oil is exhausted and the lamp withers; following the mandate of Heaven.
The Five Element energy is extremely low; everything follows its natural course.
