Birth Time Verification
Public records confirm the birth date, October 23, 1940, but not a reliable birth time; this page uses a local 12:00 candidate. The chart used here is Geng-Chen, Bing-Xu, Ji-Hai, Geng-Wu. It is a Ji Earth day master with an Indirect Resource structure; favorable elements lean toward Water, Metal, and Wood. The page keeps source-backed facts separate from BaZi interpretation. When the hour is inferred, that uncertainty stays visible.
