Chart Analysis Carla was born in the Winter in Turin Italy; the location and timing of her birth played a major role in her Four Pillars Chart. Since she was born in the month of the Rat (子), the metal is receding in strength, with the additional chill of Winter in Turin, the metal is definitely in no position to battle the cold. The flow can definitely lean towards water as the metal breeds the water in the month pillar. Many interpretations would label Carla as a weak metal and requires more metal and earth, upon further analysis, this is incorrect. It is important to look at flow rather than to interpret charts based upon strength and weakness. In order for this person to form a nice water flow, Monkey (申) and Dragon (辰) would be her best animals to help her succeed. In addition, Yang Fire (丙) would transform the self into water; this would change the classification of the chart into a “Transform” chart. Keep in mind that when a transformation happens, the resource to the transformation becomes important, for Carla, having metal around when the transformation occurs would enhance the water flow. Since the majority of the time, water is the leading flow, this chart is considered an Offspring Flow (從兒 格)where the self surrenders to the water. Wood, Rabbit (卯) and Pig (亥) are also beneficial as it causes the Yang Water (壬) and Yin Fire (丁) combination to transform into Wood, her wealth element. The

best position an Offspring Flow can have is that the Offspring gives birth to its Offspring, confusing? With Carla's example, her metal gives birth to the water flow, if the chart encounters wood (offspring of water), fame and recognition is almost certain. This cosmic system does not like Earth, whether it is Yin or Yang. Yin Earth (己) would pollute the water and tarnish the self Yin Metal (辛). Yang Earth (戊) would block the flow of water, so pick your poison! Litmus Test How can we tell that she likes water and wood, symbols such as Yang Fire, the Monkey, Dragon, Rabbit and Goat? The best way to do this is to trace the history of her life. At the age of 19, about 1986, the year of the Yang Fire Tiger, Bruni signed with City Models and was instantly noticed by the president and creative director of Guess? Inc. The Yang Fire combined with her Yin Metal to transform into Water. She later worked for other famous designer houses such as Dior, Givenchy, Lacroix, Yves Saint-Laurent, Chanel and Versace. By the 1990s, she was one of the top 20 highest-paid fashion models in the world; this came during the Yin Wood and Rabbit (卯) cycle. The Rabbit combined with her Goat (未) year to transform the Month and Year stem into Wood, her wealth.

Bruni decided to quit the world of fashion and focused her career towards music. Her first album debut in 2002 exactly at the point where she moved into the Yang Fire (丙) cycle. The Yang Fire combined with the self to transform into Water. In addition, it was the year of the Yang Water (壬) Horse (午); the extra water gave her an extra jolt of the element that she loves, as a result, her album became a success in Francophone countries. During the period between 2002 to 2007, she released many more albums and is well known throughout Europe. In 2006, the Yang Fire Dog year, she took part in the 2006 Winter Olympics opening ceremony in a parade paying tribute to the Italian flag. Her true claim to fame came about in the Yang Fire (丙) cycle where it combines with the Yin Metal (辛) self to transform into Water. As noted before, to enhance the water during the transformation, metal

would be a key component, fortunately for Carla, she has a Rooster in her chart where pure metal is hidden underneath. In addition, singing and using the mouth is metal related; for those who studied the Bagua (八卦), the Dui Gua (兌卦) symbolizes the voice, the West, and metal. Coincidentally enough, her greatest success came in Western Europe. As you can see, Carla's fame and fortune coincides with the appearance of the Yang Fire, and also the Wood; this success comes as a result of going with the cosmic flow, it has nothing to do with the act of balancing a chart between strengths and weaknesses. When the self surrenders to the Offspring flow which is water, once it gives birth to another offspring, wood, fame is almost a certainty. Going to her most recent relationship with Nicolas Sarkozy, President of the French Republic, she recently married the President on February 2, 2008. The day of the Yang Water Monkey (壬申). Carla had just moved onto the Dragon (辰) luck cycle where it combines with the Rat, add the Monkey and she has a complete water structure. The Dragon would also combine with the spouse palace which is the Rooster (酉) to form metal, but the trio combination of the Rat (子), Monkey (申) and Dragon (辰) supersedes the Rooster (酉) and Dragon (辰) combination. Nevertheless, the Dragon (辰) gave the spouse palace (酉) a little jolt, therefore, there is a possibility of marriage within the five year time frame and it occurred in 2008. Again, it is the water that made things happen for her; being the First Lady of France created great sensation in the international press, and now, she has an office and a staff in the government.

In addition to the fortunate timing of her chart where the luck cycle goes with her flow, she also possesses a scholar star. The Rat in her chart is a scholar star and to enhance the situation, it is currently combined with her Dragon cycle. When the scholar star is being combined, most of the time, academic achievements would become easier.

Summary Even though the birth hour of Carla Bruni-Sarkozy is not provided in this Four Pillars Analysis, there is enough information from the six characters to allow us in understanding the flow of her cosmic system. Obviously, her chart has no bearing on strengths and weaknesses on the self; this chart and the historical data proves to us that the cosmic flow is the primary driver of Carla Bruni-Sarkozy's success in life. It is quite evident that the Yin Metal self is helpless to the Water and it has to surrender to the water flow. The greatest part about her chart is that when a specific element comes to the forefront, Yang Fire, her self element is transformed into water which makes her use water and metal as the key drivers to her success. Understanding cosmic flow and how the combinations and transformations take place in the Four Pillars is one of the most advanced techniques utilized by Four Pillars masters and it certainly comes in handy when analyzing a versatile system like Carla Bruni-Sarkozy's birth chart.
