Birth Time Verification
The birth record gives January 9, 1913 at 21:35; this page uses that recorded time. The chart used here is Ren-Zi, Gui-Chou, Geng-Yin, Ding-Hai. It is a Geng Metal day master with the Gui-Chou month pillar and Hurting Officer structure; favorable elements lean toward Metal and Earth, while excess Water and Wood can add strain. This is an interpretive reading, not a substitute for biography or historical evidence. When the hour is inferred, that premise stays visible.
Core Analysis
Richard Nixon is read at 21:35 with the chart Ren-Zi, Gui-Chou, Geng-Yin, Ding-Hai.

Richard Nixon (1913-1994) was the 37th U.S. president. Humble origins, legal training, election, the China visit, and Watergate resignation shape this case.
