Here is the natal chart of Joseph Biden. He was born November 20, 1942 at 8:30 am in Scranton, Pennsylvania. Joe Biden is a yin fire person or day master. He has the qualities of a natural leader.
I decided to do this post mainly as a contrast to the natal chart of Donald Trump. While The Donald has no water in his natal chart, Joe has quite a bit. Everywhere you see a Ren or a Gui that is water. Be sure to look at the hidden elements too.
A person with that much water in the natal chart is naturally more inclined to be intelligent and sensitive. In the case of Joe Biden, many people would say that he is too emotional which is seen as a weakness. Interestingly, for a yin fire person like Joseph Biden water also represents his power.
It is difficult to resist Joe Biden’s sincerity and talent for speaking, but there is often awkwardness in his every day words and actions. He has both polarities of output: yin earth (Ji) in the day branch and yang earth (Wu) in the hour branch. The real life manifestation of this can be seen in the contrast between his frequent gaffes (Wu) and his ability to get people to join his cause (Ji). The energetic relationship between Ding and Wu is called “hurting officer”, meaning that his speech, actions or emotions may damage his reputation.
It’s almost like there are two Joe Bidens. On the one hand, his emotional intelligence and power (water) combined with the Ox in his day branch make him a moving and charismatic speaker. Unfortunately, at times the Dragon in the hour branch kicks in and he comes across as goofy and creepy because of his touchy feely side.
Many people have written about the natal chart of Donald Trump. Since they all have more knowledge and have spent more time studying than I have there is no need for me to do a lengthy analysis. I’ll just get to the point. There’s not a drop of water in his chart. The water element is missing.
Here is the natal chart of Donald Trump. He was born June 14, 1946 at 10:54 am in New York City.
The element of water is associated with wisdom, intelligence, emotion, fear, flexibility, calmness, receptiveness. With a chart completely void of water, does that mean he is emotionless and stupid? No.
But it does mean that he doesn’t have a great capacity for wisdom, empathy and compassion. He just doesn’t go there. You may have noticed how shallow his attacks on the other candidates are in the recent debate. He doesn’t deal much with the actual issues, just throws out provocative remarks about the others. He doesn’t have any real information to offer but continues to promise that it’s coming. Even so, his chart works quite well without the water and many people consider him a great success.
What Donald Trump does have in his chart is lots of fire, which in his case represents resource. This fire element represents what he has been given through the help of his parents as well as his education.
Curious about your own natal chart? Do you have water? Resource?
Determining Resource in Your Natal Chart
The element in the day stem is called the self element or the day master. You use it to guide your understanding of all the other elements in the chart and vice versa. Here are the elements that represent resource for each day master:
Wood person (Jia, Yi) = water
Fire person (Bing, Ding) = wood
Earth person (Wu, Ji) = fire
Metal person (Geng, Xin) = earth
Water person (Ren, Gui) = metal

Election Year 2016 – Year of the Fire Monkey
With the advent of the Fire Monkey year Donald Trump will have more access to the water element due to a Monkey -Snake combination in his chart. Some people have said this will be lucky for him but I’m not convinced. It will definitely create a situation that he will have to work to control. Even if it was good for the chart, the water energy is so unfamiliar to him that I don’t think he can use it to his advantage.
This is the Four Pillars Chart of Cesar Millan. He was born August 27, 1969 in Culiacán, Mexico. The birth hour is unknown.
Dog in the Day Branch : Is What You See What You Get?
Cesar Milan Born August 27, 1969
Cesar is a Jia (yang wood) person with a Xu or Dog day branch. The Dog branch is associated with the earth element. It contains the hidden elements of metal and fire. For Cesar earth represents money and his wife or girlfriend.
The location of Dog in the chart is the day branch or spouse palace. If you want to know what sort of environment a person lives in or what their spouse is like this is one place to look. What if the element that represents the person’s spouse is not in the spouse palace? Look elsewhwere.
Speaking of Dog I am talking about energy – not actual dogs. Still, I find it fascinating that he has spent most of his life around dogs and continues to do so. He even lives with them. Cesar himself says he is good with dog relationships but not as good at human relationships. A coincidence?
The Dog Whisperer : Indirect Resource
The month stem in Cesar’s chart is Ren (yang water), the resource and producer of the wood element. It is his main support in the chart. This type of water is called indirect resource and is the source of his intuition and his calm, patient presence. It gives him the ability to “read” the dogs by identifying patterns of behavior. Then he acts in accordance with what each dog needs, instinctively providing it in a way that changes the dog’s life for the better.
Timing and Combinations
2010 was a Metal Tiger (Geng Yin) year and it was a tough year for Cesar. As you will see, whenever Geng (yang metal) comes into the chart it triggers a combination that makes his life difficult. In this case, Daddy, Cesar’s wife and his money were combined out of the chart. His wife took the sons with her. In an interview Cesar says he lost his pack.
Cesar’s star dog Daddy died from cancer on February 19, 2010 (Tiger month in Tiger year). This was a huge loss to him. Cesar often remarked that his dog Daddy, a pit bull terrier was his main supporter and that he couldn’t have had the success that he did without him. He saw Daddy as a source of wisdom – a role model or mentor.
Every 10 years, the metal in the stem creates a metal combination in the branches. This is not good for a wood person like Cesar because when metal goes against wood there can be a lot of damage. Jia (yang wood) represents the head in five elements. When the metal attacks the wood in this chart, that can mean an attack on the head. A person may have mental illness, depression or even actually get hit in the head.
In March 2010 Cesar’s wife filed for divorce. The divorce led to his separation from his two sons Andre (born 1995) and Calvin (born in 2000?). He attempted suicide. Cesar started a new relationship with Jahira Dar in August of the same year. The flow of qi in his chart is pretty smooth so he was able to recover fairly quickly.
Whenever Geng comes into the chart he finds himself alone and starting over. He came to the US from Mexico in 1990 (Geng Wu or Metal Horse) and lived under bridges because he didn’t know anyone and didn’t know any English. I wonder what happened in 2000 (Geng Chen or Metal Dragon).
What’s Coming Next?
In 2016 Cesar will leave behind his 10 year luck pillar of Wu Chen (Earth Dragon). He is about enter a new luck pillar of Ding Mao (Fire Rabbit). With that being the case, another tough combination is coming that takes the water out of the chart and turns it into to a metal vs. wood situation. This will be intensified in 2017, the year of Ding You (Fire Rooster).
