Core Analysis

Wang Fuzhi's chart is Ji Wei, Gui You, Geng Chen, Gui Wei. The Geng Metal day master is born in the Gui You month, so the reading starts with temperament, pressure, and the way talent is put to use. The page focuses on Intellectual Depth and Independence & Integrity. The chart is read together with public life events: work, reputation, conflict, and turning points. Because the birth time is not confirmed, the hour pillar stays as a candidate.
