Birth Time Verification
The source confirms May 17, 1900 in Khomeyn, Iran, but not a reliable birth time; this page uses a Mao-hour candidate. The chart used here is Geng-Zi, Xin-Si, Geng-Yin, Ji-Mao. It is a Geng Metal day master with the Xin-Si month pillar and Indirect Resource structure; favorable elements lean toward Water and Earth, while excess 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
Ruhollah Khomeini is read at 06:00 with the chart Geng-Zi, Xin-Si, Geng-Yin, Ji-Mao. This is a Geng Metal day master with the Indirect Resource structure; favorable elements lean toward Water and Earth, while excess Wood can add strain. Ruhollah Khomeini (1900-1989) was an Iranian religious and political leader. Theological study, writing, exile, the 1979 revolution, and the hostage crisis shape this case. The chart is most useful when read beside public events. The Indirect Resource structure is not a personality label by itself; in theological study, writing, exile, revolution, and the hostage crisis, it shows through opportunity, pressure, and choice.
