I. The Chart

Chinese Chart

II. Some Explanations...

1. First  step: translate the Western coordinates into Chinese coordinates.
The third of May 1964 corresponds to the 22th day of the 3rd Moon of a year Dragon of Giap (Fire and Yang),
==> It is thus a Yang-Masculine birth. (++)

Birth time 09:00 in Germany in 1964, i.e. 08:00 GMT
Local Solar Hour=  08:00 +  26' (longitude 6°30') = 08:26
==> This corresponds to the 5th Chinese Hour, also called the Hour of the Cat (or of the Rabbit or of the Hare)...

Note:   Dragon is Chen in Chinese and Thin in Vietnamese.
           Giap is Jia in Chinese.
           Rat is in Zi Chinese and Ty in Vietnamese.

2. Determine the Destiny House, the first of the 12 Houses superimposed on the 12 boxes (or palaces) of a chinese chart.
Birth on a 3rd Moon + 5th Hour ==> Destiny in Rat box.

3. Find where is symbolized the "second world", i.e. the maturity.
Birth during the 5th Hour ==> the second world is surperimposed on the Finances House.

4. Determine the sector.
Destiny in Rat + Birth Year of Giap (heavenly stem) ==> 2 Water.

Note: a complete Help file on these notions is provided with our software Izi Waithat you can download and try.
The software is limited in execution but the help file is still usable.

5. Find where is located the main star, King of the Stars, (TU VI in Vietnamese, Tzi Wei in Chinese, Emperor in some English variants)
Sector 2 Water + 22th Day of the Moon ==> in the Rat box.

6. Find the 13 other main stars.
King of the Stars in Rat box ==> Cf the chart for the position of these 13 stars.
