Steve Jobs

Jie Cai (Rival Wealth) emerges in the Stems, Shang Guan (Innovation Star) generates wealth, Yin Star (Resource Star) is restrained. The main theme of this decade is early enlightenment and budding personality. The native is in an exploratory phase, with family environment changes (the fact of adoption gradually clarifies), and an awakening of inner independence. Ding Fire as Jie Cai strengthens his self, but the Earthly Branch Chou Earth as Shang Guan drains his talent, manifesting as cleverness and rebelliousness, dislike of constraints, laying the foundation for future innovative spirit.

Jie Cai vies for wealth, Shang Guan generates wealth but the Wealth Star is not prominent. During his teenage years, there was no formal career, but technical interests and hands-on ability had already surfaced. The family's financial situation was average; he earned pocket money through odd jobs. Cooperating with classmates (Jie Cai) in small ventures (such as selling second-hand parts), he showed early business acumen. Jie Cai also brought competition, so one must be cautious about resource struggles with siblings or classmates.

Jie Cai is unfavorable, Yin Star is clashed. Family relations are tense. His adoptive parents supported him, but he harbored feelings of abandonment. The relationship with his adoptive father was delicate (Yin Star restrained), and he valued privacy. He had many friends, but mostly playmates, with few close friends. In terms of reputation, he was known among classmates for being clever and eccentric.

Earth flourishes and drains Fire, Wood is weak and insufficient to generate Fire. His constitution is relatively weak, prone to respiratory illnesses (Bing Fire drained by Earth). Emotions are irritable, and he should watch for gastrointestinal issues (Chou Earth as Shang Guan, burden on spleen and stomach).

Bi Jian (Peer) helps the self, Zheng Guan (Zheng Guan (Direct Officer)) combines with the self, Water and Fire are in balance. This decade is a period of entrepreneurship and rapid growth. Bing Fire as Bi Jian strengthens his own strength, and Zi Water as Zheng Guan brings goals and order. Jobs cooperated with Wozniak (Bi Jian) to found Apple. Zheng Guan symbolizes industry standards and leadership. Launching Apple I in 1976 and the hugely successful Apple II in 1977 represents Bing Fire strengthening the self to overcome the Officer, transforming innovation into market success.

Zi Water as Zheng Guan generates Mao Wood, Yi Wood as Zheng Yin (Direct Resource) is effective. In his career, Jobs rose as a technology innovator. Zheng Guan represents standards and business cooperation; he attracted investment (e.g., Markkula) to turn his personal technical ideals into corporate products. In terms of wealth, Apple II brought huge income, and the company went public in 1978, making him a millionaire. Bi Jian also brought arrogance, leading to conflicts with colleagues, sowing the seeds for his later ouster.

Zheng Guan combines with the self, Bi Jian competes. His relationship with Wozniak was close but each had their own strengths (Bi Jian and Guan). He had a daughter with his girlfriend Brennan, but initially denied paternity (Zheng Guan controlling the self creates conflict). In terms of reputation, he became a rising star in technology, with media attention. Family-wise, relations with his adoptive parents were harmonious, but his biological father never acknowledged him.

Water and Fire are in balance, but there is the Zi-Mao Penalty. His physical condition was good, and he was energetic. However, the Zi-Mao Penalty affects the liver (Wood), so he needed to watch for neural headaches caused by overwork. Emotionally, Bi Jian brought stubbornness and irritability.

Zheng Yin resolves Qi Sha (Indirect Officer), Qi Sha and Yin generate each other, Hai Water clashes with Si. This decade is a transition period of both peaks and troughs. Yi Wood Zheng Yin resolves the pressure from Qi Sha, but Hai Water Qi Sha secretly clashes with the Wei storage in the year branch, triggering internal power struggles. The 1984 Macintosh launch (creativity and paranoia) was followed by his ousting from Apple in 1985 (Qi Sha attacking the self, Yin Star weak). This Luck first rose then fell, marking his transformation from founder to wanderer.

Zheng Yin generates the self, but Qi Sha destroys wealth. In his career, Jobs led the Mac project; Yi Wood Yin Star represents the creative team, but Hai Water Qi Sha brought internal power struggles (conflict with Sculley). The Lisa failure in 1983, and his expulsion by the board in 1985. In terms of wealth, his stock options were diluted, but he still profited from selling shares. He founded NeXT (Yi Wood regenerates) and acquired Pixar (Yin Star shifted to new industry), paving the way for his second rise.

Yin Star is favorable, Qi Sha attacks the self. His relationship with Sculley went from honeymoon to rupture (Qi Sha representing opponents). His relationship with his daughter Lisa improved (Zheng Yin representing responsibility). Reputation-wise, he was portrayed as a dictator in the media, damaging his image. Maritally, he married and divorced his first wife in 1985. Family-wise, his adoptive mother passed away (Wei Earth being clashed).

Hai Water clashes with Si, Fire is weak. His health began to decline; he was easily fatigued and had slight digestive issues. Qi Sha attacks the self, causing high emotional stress and anxiety. Attention was needed for heart (Bing Fire) and kidney (Hai Water) balance.

Pian Yin (Indirect Resource) generates the self, Shi Shen (Talent) controls Qi Sha, Earthly Branches clash and penalize. This decade is a period of recovery and resurgence after the trough. Jia Wood Pian Yin brought learning and innovation, while Xu Earth Shi Shen drained the talent and controlled Qi Sha. Jobs accumulated technology at NeXT and Pixar (Pian Yin). In 1996, Apple acquired NeXT (Shi Shen generating wealth), bringing him back to Apple. The 1997 iMac launch reversed the decline, transforming his image from exile to savior.

Pian Yin exerts strength, Shi Shen generates wealth. In career, NeXT was a commercial failure but technologically advanced (Pian Yin). Pixar went public following Toy Story (Shi Shen bringing fame). After returning to Apple in 1997, he cut excess product lines and launched the iMac (Shi Shen new ideas), turning the company from loss to profit. In wealth, Pixar's stock soared, making him a billionaire. Apple options also brought huge gains. This Luck marks his turnaround from loss to profit.

Pian Yin leads to aloofness, Shi Shen combines with Guan. His relationships with colleagues improved, but he remained domineering. In 1991, he married Laurene (Jia Wood combines with Ji, Guan star stabilizes). Reputation-wise, he shifted from being seen as a failure to a disruptor, with media beginning to praise him. Family harmony, with children born. Relations with his adoptive father were repaired (Jia Wood Yin Star).

Xu Earth penalizes and opens the Fire storehouse, Wood and Earth clash. There were hidden health risks. Jia Wood overcomes Xu Earth, causing decline in stomach and spleen function. In 1996, a pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor was discovered (Fire storehouse penalized). Emotionally, Pian Yin brought a tendency towards depression, but Shi Shen's optimism counteracted it. He needed to maintain regular eating habits.

Zheng Guan combines with the self, Zheng Cai (Direct Wealth) breaks Yin, Wealth and Guan generate each other. This decade is the peak period of achievement. Gui Water Zheng Guan brought global influence, and You Metal Zheng Cai strengthened execution. Jobs launched the iPod (2001) and iPhone (2007), building the Apple empire. Zheng Guan represents industry leadership, and Zheng Cai brought enormous wealth. However, You Metal clashes with Mao Wood Yin Star, so his health began to decline; he had surgery in 2004 and a liver transplant in 2009.

Zheng Cai breaks Yin, Guan Star protects. In career, Apple integrated the music industry through iTunes (Guan Star), and the iPhone (Wealth and Guan) disrupted the mobile industry. In wealth, Apple's market value soared, making him one of the world's top billionaires. But Zheng Cai broke Yin, so he delegated power to Cook (Guan Star), focusing on products. This Luck brought peak wealth but consumed his health.

Guan Star combines with the self, Wealth Star harms Yin. His relationship with family grew closer, but he had a workaholic tendency (Zheng Guan controls). Reputation-wise, Time magazine named him one of the most influential people. His relationship with Disney (Pixar) was good (Wealth and Guan). Family harmony, but health issues worried his loved ones.

You Metal clashes with Mao Wood, Metal and Wood are at war. His health seriously deteriorated. You Metal overcomes Mao Wood Yin Star (liver); he was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in 2003, had surgery in 2004, and a liver transplant in 2009. Emotionally, Zheng Guan brought self-discipline, but illness caused anxiety. He needed rest and attention to his immune system.

Qi Sha attacks the self, Pian Cai (Indirect Wealth) breaks Yin, strong Metal overcomes Wood. This decade only lasted until Jobs' death in 2011. Ren Water Qi Sha brought immense pressure, and Shen Metal Pian Cai worsened wealth breaking Yin. He resigned as CEO in August 2011 (Qi Sha forcing him), and passed away in October. This Luck is predominantly inauspicious. Although the iPad launched in 2010 (still at the end of the Gui You Luck), as soon as the Ren Shen Luck began, his health collapsed rapidly, and wealth and officer turned into death warrants.

Qi Sha overcomes the self, Pian Cai abandons the self. In his career, he still guided product concepts (such as iCloud), but his body could not sustain it. Wealth had become meaningless; legacy distribution (Pian Cai) became the focus. He concentrated on his final moments, his life's splendor drawing to a close.

Qi Sha attacks the self, Yin Star is exhausted. He was deeply attached to his family, but death separated them. After making his illness public, the world mourned. His biography was published, as he wanted to leave his final story. His family was complete, but death took everything.

Sha flourishes and overcomes the self, Metal and Water overflow. His health deteriorated extremely; cancer cells spread. He passed away on October 5, 2011. Emotionally, he was calm and accepted reality.
