Adele — BaZi Chart Analysis

Adele Laurie Blue Adkins, born in Tottenham, London in 1988, is one of the defining recording artists of the 21st century.

The chart, as computed

These four columns are engine output. Two things about the method matter: the Month pillar is cut by solar term rather than by calendar month, and the Year pillar turns at 立春 rather than at New Year — both of which move a chart for anyone born near a boundary. The prose follows the chart.

Day Master: 庚 (Geng, yang Metal). The engine reads this chart's day master as somewhat strong, in a 偏印格 (Pian Yin) structure — a chart organised around unorthodox, self-supplied resource.

No birth hour is on record for Adele. The hour pillar is therefore omitted rather than guessed, and nothing in this reading depends on it — no hour-branch relation, no luck-cycle direction, and no claim that would need the fourth pillar to stand up. Three pillars is a smaller chart, not a less accurate one.

What the ten gods put where

• Year stem — 偏印 (Pian Yin): unorthodox support — self-taught, oblique, private.
• Month stem — 七杀 (Qi Sha): pressure — authority experienced as force.

Read the gods as positions rather than personalities. Each label describes the relationship between a stem and the Day Master, so it is chart-relative by construction: move the day master and every god in the chart changes. This is the reason a per-chart table beats any generic account of Geng.

The branch relations the engine found

• 自刑 · a self-punishment — 辰 (Chen) / 辰 (Chen), in the year and month branches. A branch repeated against itself.

Reading it

A somewhat strong Geng Metal day master in a Pian Yin structure, with Pian Yin on the year and Qi Sha on the month — unorthodox resource above, pressure beside it. The only branch relation is a Chen–Chen self-punishment, a branch repeated against itself, which the tradition reads as difficulty that is internal rather than imposed. A strong day master with Pian Yin support is read as a chart with more resource than it strictly needs, where the question becomes what the surplus gets spent on. Birth hour is not recorded.

What this page does not claim

This is interpretation of a computed configuration, and the boundary matters. Nothing above says the chart caused anything, and nothing above was reverse-engineered from what the subject is known to have done. Where the birth hour is not on record, the hour pillar is absent rather than estimated.

This is not a substitute for medical, financial or legal advice.

Work out your own chart

To compare this against your own chart, run it through the BaZi chart calculator — it uses the same solar-term boundaries as the table above. Definitions for anything unfamiliar are in the BaZi glossary, and the celebrity index lists the other charted figures.
