This is the chart of Steven Gerard who is the captain of Liverpool Football Club in England and also the captain of the England football team. Steven Gerard was born on the 30th of May 1980. He is a very good football player and has scored many fantastic goals and won many trophies in his illustrious football career.

I have chosen the wei hour as his time of birth to give him the leadership in the field. This is a weak gui DM. With positive resource and officer stars protruding, the wealth star is also positive. The only negative star in this kind of chart is the wood, output star. The strongly rooted metal, resource stars make him a football idol with worldwide fans. The strongly rooted earth, officer stars give him the captaincy at the club and the international level. With the positive fire, wealth star in the month earthly branch, Steven Gerard was born in the door of wealth. He is a very rich man, earning much of his income from his salary, bonuses and sponsorship. 

Why is 2014, jia-wu year not a very good year for him?

Those who learnt ZiPing bazi will know that he is still in the jia-shen LP. In this LP, jia and ji combine and jia transforms into positive earth with the support of si month earthly branch. So, this is not a bad LP at all. However, in this jia-wu year, another jia appears and fights to combine with the ji which causes the combination to break. Thus, we now have two negative jia's protruding and these give him a spell of bad luck.

Case 1

Liverpool was leading the Barclays Premier League table towards the end of April and in a crucial home match against Chelsea on the 27th of April, Steven Gerard missed a simple pass from a fellow defender and slipped, allowing Chelsea to score a goal. Liverpool ended up losing 0 - 2. This was the turning point as not long after that, Manchester City overtook them and took the title.

Case 2

In the current Fifa Football World Cup in Brazil, England was sent packing after losing their second match 2 - 1 to Uruguay. The game was tied at 1 -1 when Steven Gerard accidentally headed the ball backwards and it reached the Uruguay's forward Luis Suarez who scored the winner for Uruguay. England had earlier lost to Italy to a similar scoreline.

This is the chart of a lawyer friend of mine who was born on the 14th of February in 1956. He has just recently passed away from a severe stroke while playing golf.

This is a weak xin DM. Without any resource earth stars in the stems, the fire stars are negative. In the present LP, there are triple bing-shen negative fu-yins. Negative fu-yins are sad events while positive fu-yins are joyous ones. Fu-yins also amplify the energy of the fu-yin stems which in this case are the fire stars. In this 2014 jia-wu year, the jia wood further strengthens the already very strong fire stars and all the fire stars also take roots in the wu fire horse.

Fire stars rule the heart and blood. People with strong negative fire stars are prone to hypertension and high blood pressure of a dangerous level. When I read with him last year, I told him to watch out for his blood pressure. He admitted that he was having high blood pressure and was on medication. Looks like medication alone is not sufficient when you have triple negative fu-yins. You need to monitor it more closely and also make sure that the medicinal dosage is right.

May he rest in peace.
