The following is the Michael Jackson's Chinese Astrology Birth Chart. We will analyze his Chinese Astrology using the theory of Five Elements, Metal, Water, Wood, Fire and Earth.

Michael Jackson was born on the Earth Tiger Female Metal day in the Metal Monkey month of the Earth Dog Year. The upper row of the Day Column is called Day Master and represents the person. Therefore, Female MetalMale Earth Male Earth represents Michael himself. All the animals can be converted into Five Elements. We then assigned the scores to them; it's easier to understand Five Elements in the birth chart this way.


The Five Element Scores

Five Elements have Circulating Relationship. Fire is the mother element of Earth. Fire can increase Earth power. Metal is the child element of Earth. Metal drains the energy of Earth. Five Elements also have Fighting Relationship. Wood and Water fight with Earth. We can say Wood, Water and Metal can make Earth weak. They are enemy to Earth. Fire can make Earth strong. Fire is the friend to Earth.

From the Five Element scores, we can see Metal is very strong. Earth and Mother Fire are weaker than Metal, Water and Wood. We can say the Day Master  Female MetalMale EarthMale Earth is weak. Dog of Year Column is in Earth group. Monkey of Month Column and Chicken of Hour Column are in the Metal group. When they are together, they have a Special Attraction Relationship -Gang of Three and form the power force of Metal. Because Michael was born in September, which is part of the Metal season, we can treat the Dog of the Year Column as if it were from the Metal group. Tiger is in the Wood group. Day Master Earth becomes much weaker, because it has six enemies - five Metals and one Wood. In Chinese astrology, we call the Birth Chart is an Extremely Weak Case. Because Day Master has still one friend - Male Earth in the Year Column, the we call this special Birth Chart is a Fake Extremely Weak case. (Note: President Obama has Fake Extremely Weak Birth Chart.) People who have a Fake Extremely Weak Birth Chart will have extremely good fortune when they are lucky, but will have very bad times when they are out of luck.

Because Male Earth represents Michael Jackson, Earth is the same type of element to him. Earth represents his siblings or friends. Metal is something out of Earth. Metal represents his outlook, performance, talent or reputation. Earth can conquer and win over Water. Water is related to money, property or luxury life. Wood can grow up from the ground. Wood represents pressure, career, restriction or even lawsuit. Fire can be burnt into dust. Fire represents mother, protection or medicine. Earth is also connected to the relatives or friends around him that share his wealth. Therefore, Earth also stands for money loss.

The year column contains strong Earth; Michael had lots of siblings or was with siblings often when he was young. Metal represents his appearance, talent or performance. The Month Column in the birth chart contains strong Metal - he received reputation when growing up. There is no strong Water in the birth chart. Water represents money. So Michael family didn't have a good financial status when he was born. Father is the person who brings in money when we are young. so Father is connected to Water for Michael. Michael had a lesser relationship with Father. Earth is afraid of Wood, as Wood can overwhelm Earth. Wood gives Earth pressure, discipline and restriction. There is little Wood in Michael's birth chart, so Michael spent and wasted lot of money without any restraint.

The Tiger in the Day Column represents his marriage and spouse. Tiger mainly contains Wood. Wood will interfere Michael's (Earth) freedom. If Wood wants to attack Earth, the strong Metal will fight back for Michael. Tiger and Monkey in the Month Column have a Hurting Relationship, which implies his spouse cannot get along with his family. That means it's hard to be his wife.

The first step to predict people's fortune is to find out their Lucky Element in the birth chart. Usually, the Lucky Element of Weak Day Master is the Mother element or Friend element. The Lucky Element of Strong Day Master is the Money, Career or Child element. The Lucky Element of Extremely Weak Day Master is same to Strong Day Master, the Lucky Element is Money, Career or Child star. The theory is that if we cannot fight against the enemy, then we need to join and follow the enemy. Therefore, Money Water and Child Metal should be Michael Jackson's Lucky Elements. Earth and Fire are the unlucky elements. Wood will help Fire to burn and fight with Lucky Element Metal, so Wood is not the lucky element.

To find more about people's career, fame, wealth, health, parents, spouse and children from Chinese astrology, we need to use 10-God birth chart.

The following 10-God Birth Charts are from the Fortune Angel Chinese Astrology software:
The most right column is Year Column, which contains information about early ages.
The 2nd right column is Month Column, which contains information of growing up ages and family.
The 3rd column is the Day Column, which contains information of middle ages and marriage
The 4th column is the Hour Column, which contains information of old ages and children.

Birth Chart in Graphic Symbols Birth Chart in Chinese Characters

Chinese astrology breaks down the Five Elements by Yin Yang into 10 elements, which is called 10 Gods.

Chinese astrology contains Five Elements. So in general,

Cow, Sheep, Dog and Dragon are Earth.
Chicken and Monkey are Metal.
Rabbit and Tiger are Wood.
Rat and Pig are Water.
Horse and Snake are Fire.

To be more accurate,

Dog contains Yin Fire, Yang Earth, Yin Metal.
Tiger contains Yang Earth, Yang Wood, Yang Fire.
Monkey contains Yang Water, Yang Metal, Yang Earth. (more details)

From the Five Stars theory, we know that

  • Earth is the Companion Star
  • Metal is the Fame Star
  • Water is the Money Star
  • Wood is the Career Star
  • Fire is the Parent Star

The Five Stars can be distinguished by Yin and Yang, and are derived into 10-God relationships.
 We have the Michael Jackson's 10-God Relationship Chart on the right.

A Friend or Sibling Friend Star on the top of Friend or Sibling Friend Star in the Year Column (Earth Dog) implies a person has elder siblings and likes to help the financial problems of relatives or friends. He easily gets into trouble because of friendships and sometimes still feels lonely. It also indicates that the person has little relationship with the father figure and marriage will be late.

An Money for Food Artist Star on the top of Money for Food Artist Star in the Month Column (Metal Monkey)  implies the person has the chance to become rich and famous. He also enjoys food and relaxation in his life. But it also signifies that his parents had a low income when he was born. Also the person has more than 3 brothers, who will all do their own business when growing up.

Day Master Male Earth Female Metal is on the top of Discipline Evil Star (Earth Tiger). This implies the person's spouse has a bad temper, and the two may have quarrels often.

An Show off money Actor Star on the top of Show off money Actor Star in the Hour Column (Metal Chicken) implies a person who has poor health and less chance for a long life. It also indicates the person has little relationship with son or has no son.

Both Money for Food Artist and Show off money Actor Stars are shown in the Birth Chart, so the person has talent in expressing his ideas to the public.  An Money for Food Artist Star in the Month Column implies the person is kind-hearted, benevolent and charitable. An Show off money Actor Star in the Hour Column implies the person has a bad temper at home.

Too many Artist Stars and Actor Stars together, the person has poor health and is explodes easily because of his emotions. When angry, the person doesn't care who is around and will act or speak whatever he wants. When this happens, the person may sometimes lie. It may seem that the person is stubborn, but this personality is different from strong-minded or determined people.

White glove and socks build his image. Fire and Earth are unlucky elements. Brown color makes him poorer. Red color brings him negative reputation. Fire is the mother element of Day Master. Red is something that provides Michael stronger physical energy and mental power. Michael should feel the protection while wearing red. But the other view of Red color implied he gets sick and needs medicine.

      The Date of Death - June 25, 2009     

To predict people's date of death is difficult from astrology, because doctors can extend or save people's lives by means of new discoveries in medicine and medical technology. Usually a person's life will end when his Lucky Element is destroyed, or too many fighting/hurting relationships in the birth chart to collapse the birth chart structure. The life of a person with an Extremely Weak birth chart may end when the astrological cycle appears strong same element (Friend Star) to break the Extremely Weak birth chart structure.

Michael Jackson has a Fake Extremely Weak birth chart. The Day Master is Male Earth Male SoilMale Soil. Year 2009 is  Female SoilFemale SoilEarth Cow year. Cow is Earth. This is a strong Earth year and very unfavorable to Michael, because Earth tried to make Day Master too strong.

June 25 of 2009 is in the month of Horse. Male MetalHorse is in the Fire group. Horse with Tiger and Dog in the birth chart have Strong Attraction Relationship into Fire. Fire is the mother element of Earth. This will increase the power of Earth from 2009. The structure of Extremely Weak birth chart will be damaged. Plus, the strong Fire combination is ready to attack Metal in the birth chart. However, Dog, Monkey and Chicken in the birth chart have Strongest Metal Combination and they are not afraid of Fire. This is a head-to-head Fighting Relationship.

Furthermore, the current Major Cycle is Female WoodFemale WoodGreen Cow and Male MetalMale MetalWhite Horse month have a Separation Relationship. This is a bad sign for broken family/love relationships. Female Wood in Major Cycle and Female Metal in the Month Column have a Fighting Relationship. Cow in 2009, Cow on June 25 and Cow in the Major Cycle have a Hurting Relationship with the Dog in the Year Column. It seems that every column in the birth chart and astrological cycles are involving some degree of fighting/hurting relationships. The whole birth chart is shaking. The birth chart will collapse any day of Fire or Earth in the Horse month.


If Michael Jackson had not died on June 25, 2009, then he still would have had a hard time for upcoming years. The next major cycle 2011 to 2020 is Female WoodMale FireFire Tiger cycle. Tiger contains Wood and Fire. So this cycle is a strong Fire, which is the unlucky element. This period is the time for medical care and money loss in investments.

 Since the introductions of contraception, abortion and surrogate birth, it's difficult to predict the number of children one should have from Chinese astrology. To understand Michael Jackson children relationship, we need to study his birth time. This is because that Hour Column contains information of the children. Chinese astrology focuses on the number of sons, not children. The Day Master of his birth chart is Male Earth. His Son Star is Wood. Wood is weak under Chicken Metal in Hour Column. (We assume that Michael was born in the Hour of Chicken.) This implies he has lesser relationship with his children. That means he shouldn't have too many children. Or the children will stay away from him. Or Either he or his child will die young. Therefore, He might have at most only one son.
