Napoleon Bonaparte — A Life, Read Through the Da Yun
历史名人 · 大运剖析
1 · Birth & the chart
Born August 15, 1769 in Ajaccio, Corsica, at noon (12:00). The date is attested in the historical record; the noon hour is the documented convention in BaZi literature about him. Here is his Four Pillars — from which everything below is computed.

2 · The chart at a glance
Persona Sketch · 人格画像 The persona behind this chart is easiest to imagine as bold, resilient, thrives under challenge: in the visible pillars, with Challenge (Seven Killings) as its most prominent ten-star thread. With a light Day Master at its core, this is someone who grows through support and resource-taking, and rises when the right backing appears — so the practical note is to work with these colours rather than against them.
This chart leans light; the Seven Killings Pattern sets its tone, 甲–庚 Heavenly Clash stands out, and Wood & Water energy tends to help balance the flow.

Unhelpful energy
the Day Master is light on support, so conventional emphasis is reinforcement — resources and peers — before spending outward.

3 · The narrative, checked against history
His chart is a Seven Killings pattern with a light Day Master: the Day Master, Jia Wood (甲), is flanked by two Geng Metal stars — one in the month pillar, one in the hour pillar — the image of a blade resting on the wood. Qi Sha, the star of pressure and decisive tests, is the thread that sets the tone. A traditional reading would call this the profile of a man who makes his life at the edge of authority — forged by the strongest opponents, and finally broken against them. The engine's own persona sketch for this chart is "bold, resilient, thrives under challenge." His history: a boy from a small island who made himself the terror and the hope of Europe.
Da Yun chapter 2 (己巳, ages 24–33, ≈ 1792–1801) is the rise: a decade of applied craft and seized resources. In 1793, at Toulon, a young artillery officer applies exactly that craft — and walks out a general. In 1796 his creative command is at its height: commander of the Italian army at 26, turning a starving force into the miracles of Lodi and Rivoli. In 1799 the wealth star does its work: the coup of 18 Brumaire, and the resources of a republic fall into his hands. Chapter 2 is the entire rise — from nobody to First Consul.
Chapter 3 (戊辰, ages 34–43, ≈ 1802–1811) is pure Windfall Wealth — expansion, ambition, opportunity with no upper bound. 1804: he crowns himself Emperor. 1805: Austerlitz. 1807: Tilsit, a single summit that redraws the map of Europe. The star's temperament — big movements, big surfaces, big bets — fits a man who by 1811 ruled or dominated most of the continent. The star's flaw is also the decade's flaw: windfall wealth overreaches. The engine's own timeline marks 1812 as the crossing of the peak.
Chapter 4 (丁卯, ages 44–53, ≈ 1812–1821) is where the same engine turns dark: Hurting Officer — the star of defiance, of challenging authority — and Rob Wealth — the star of being plundered by rivals. This is the decade of Moscow, Leipzig, Waterloo and St Helena. The very qualities that built him — the refusal to yield to anything in his way — become the refusal to stop, the refusal to negotiate, the war against all of Europe. The chapter that opens with the invasion of Russia closes with an empire dissolved and a man on a rock in the South Atlantic. If BaZi is a lens and not a script, this is the decade where the lens and the history line up most starkly.

Chapter 1 · Age 4–13 · 辛未
Responsibility (Direct Officer) → Steady Wealth (Direct Wealth)
Youth & Schooling · 少年求学 — foundation years — learning, family and early identity
Chapter Context This is the opening chapter of your Da Yun path — the ground floor of your pattern is set into motion in these early years. Ahead lies a authority phase; these ten years are the runway that season will launch from.
The Turning Point In observable life this reads as duty thickening: a promotion, a title, institutional responsibility, or public accountability that reshapes how you spend your time.
Overview A structured decade of duty, reputation and visible progress through discipline. Metal tempers your Wood: structure, duty and external expectations shape the decade. A authority phase with responsible, organized, security-oriented undertones.
Relations Your 未 branch combines with your day branch (午). Its Metal energy presses on a sensitive point of your chart.
Career A structured decade of duty, reputation and visible progress through discipline. The earthly branch adds years that favor steady income, practical management and long-term commitments. In practical terms, favor roles and routines that suit principled, career-focused, respectful of systems strengths.
Wealth This decade carries a authority phase. Metal tempers your Wood: structure, duty and external expectations shape the decade. It is a slow-and-steady season for money: convert part of any windfall into long-term anchors.
Relationships Relationships mirror the decade: duty and support mixed with practical outcomes. Bonds benefit from clear roles and shared plans rather than vague hopes.
Growth In these years, principled, career-focused, respectful of systems energy is in the lead — hands-on experience and honest reflection pay off most. It is a decade to build on Wood itself.
Health & Lifestyle Each element also suggests a lifestyle emphasis — traditionally, Wood favors movement, Fire favors rest and heart-care, Earth favors digestion and regularity, Metal favors breathing and skin, Water favors kidneys and sleep. Treat this as folklore-style self-care, not medical advice.
- Show up with consistency; reputation compounds in this phase.
- Take on visible responsibility — discipline is your asset.
- Steady systems beat heroics: automate savings, commit to consistent income streams.

6 · Limits & honesty
This page is deliberately retrospective. Hindsight is the easy direction for any lens: once a life is written, a rich enough framework can always find a pattern — which is exactly why we ran the harder test. Using our own audit script, we checked whether the engine's Da Yun boundaries land on his documented turning points more often than chance. They do not:3 of 5 pre-death boundaries fall within two years of a recorded event, against a chance baseline of 3.8 under a shift-randomisation test. That result is indistinguishable from coincidence. The apparent fit comes from event density — his documented life clusters in a few famous decades — not from the chart. So this page claims no predictive validity. What it offers is narrower and, we think, more useful: a deterministic, auditable engine reading one thoroughly documented life, so you can judge the system yourself instead of taking our word for it. The prose is culture, not science; the 七杀 / 伤官 labels are literary mirrors, and every label here is the engine's own output, not our editorial flourish.
The hour pillar (午时) follows the noon convention recorded in the literature; a different hour would change the hour pillar and, with it, parts of the reading. Corsica's longitude is not corrected for true solar time (the site charts by clock time, a documented convention). For education and entertainment only — not prediction, and not medical, financial or legal advice.
