Lewis Hamilton’s 8CSR/Natal Chart
- Lewis Hamilton is read as “Weak” S2/Yang Fire in the depths of Winter/R1. As a pure fire born in the depths of Winter — Hamilton is a Lucky Day, things happen for him.
- As a fire in winter, he is high in demand and well liked. However he does have two Suns in his chart, which contributes to 3 fires of 6 — implying it does have quite a fiery personality (which was more evident when he first came into F1, he has mellowed a lot since then). He is a natural leader and gets bestowed a lot of awards and recognition especially in his youth.
- His requirements are S1, S5 and S10. S1/Water is for the S2/Sun to be able to reflect its brilliance — i.e. become famous and recognized in their chosen career, and Earth are meant to embank the water. In this case, Earth is his output — his creative drive to show his talent and ability. Notably the S3 in his chart tells us he will be famous from a young age.
- As for requirements in his 6CSR/Natal Chart, Hamilton only have a PR S10 in himself, showing that he has the innate talent ability. He also has S6 water from his father, which reflects the good but imperfect relationship with his father. His father worked very hard to bring Hamilton up in his career however, was imperfect in doing so.
- Spouse/Partner — shows a very friendly relationship, however, I do wonder as two Suns in a 6CSRs would cause friction and too much heat, as the old folks tales goes, there can only be one Sun in the sky. Nonetheless, Hamilton would be attracted to very talented and famous partners, with similar outlooks in life to him.
BIO Chart/Luck Cycle: Luck wise
- 9–19: was good, as the (S7R2) fire and earth period made him stronger and more skilful in his talent/driving ability.
- 19–29: was extremely good. S5R3 — He hit is first Perfect Requirement — bringing a partnership and relationship (which he would later leave by the end of the cycle), increased luck to show his talents (driving ability) and R3 brings S3 which not only brought additional support and resources to back him up, but also fame.
- 29–39: Also an extremely good period in his life, S10R4 —shows even greater output ability and (louder) attention will be drawn to his performance. R4 shows more support would follow. He leaves metal behind, therefore relationships/girlfriend/marriage is the last thing on his mind for this 10 years.
- Predictions 39–49: By this point S4R5, I suspect Hamilton would have retired as a driver. The Metal luck will bring a lot of money to Hamilton — he is likely to be given a lot of opportunities but his glory days of racing would be over. It would be a soul searching period of what he wants to do after racing.
- Predictions 49–59: S9R6, brings about a new union in this life. My guess is that he finds a new path in life that would make a lot of money for him (which he will make and spend).
- Predictions 59–69: S1R7, finally hits his third requirement — increase fame and recognition. A comfortable time in his life — this would be the general luck all the way to the end of his life, though there will be a few rocky events if he lives past 99.
F1 Career Yearly Analysis
- 2006: FS — leaves GP2 for F1. A very challenging him — a lot of fire, earning a hotheaded reputation.
- 2007: (-24) and T1, places 2P F1 World Championship.
- 2008: Gets S5 PR — wins first World Championship despite HG.
- 2009: Hellgate, doesn’t make podium. Note: I would have thought 2008 would be worst that 2009.
- 2010–2011: Metal period, doesn’t make podium.
- 2012: doesn’t make podium, however meets S1 — new career opportunity offer comes his way.
- 2013 (S6R6): Moved to Mercedes. Pay increase (earn money and spends money).
- 2014 (S3R7): 1P, FE+FE and A1+Middle5.
- 2015 (S8R8): 1P, FE+PR and D2.
- 2016 (S2R9): 2P, FE+NFE and B1, Failure Horse — didn’t not finish 1P.
- 2017 (S7R10): 1P, FE+NFE and T1+H2. Becomes vegan, his Day S2 might have unions with the S9 in the R10 showing a new beginning with himself.
- 2018 (S5R11): 1P, PR+PR and SP1, FS, HNet.
- 2019 (S10R12): 1P, PR+PR and T1, H4, HNet, T2, 36Heights.
- Prediction 2020: S4R1 looks a bit of a challenging year for Hamilton — a lot of money however the Metal in the year is not a requirement nor a favourable element. Note, in terms of months — it is currently S1R7 until 20 July 2020, S6R8 month until 18 August 2020 and S3R9 month until 16 September 2020. I feel next race will be greatly in Hamilton’s favour, the subsequent 3 races he will perform well, but needs to work harder, need to optimize use of the car and don’t push it so hard too fast.
- Prediction 2021: S9R2 will be a new union opportunity for Hamilton — given its a water union on earth, I would reckon its a new business opportunity that leverages on his talent makes him even more famous (more endorsement opportunities?)
Guessing Hamilton’s Time
- Interestingly the old text wrote “If S1 and S5 appear on the surface, the subject will become a top scholar. If S1 appears without S5, there is S10 instead, they can still attain a high position, but through unusual alternative methods. If there is no S1 but there is S6 and there is metal to supplement the water, but another S2 also appears to dry up the water, the subject will become just an average scholar.”
- Since, Hamilton is not your average joe. In his 6CSR, he only has one S10 hidden— I am of the opinion he has to have S1 and either S5 or S10 in his chart. He is not in corporate nor a government civil servant (today’s equivalents of top scholar), and has made his name and money through being a GOAT F1 driver — so I am more inclined to think he has S10 over S5. Additionally, S3 for an S2 in R1 equates to fame.
- Option 1: 9PM-11PM — S10R12 (SC:S8), I am more inclined to have this time over Option 2, as it has S10, S1, S3, T1 and 36Heights. It’s everything a race car driver needs to become a famous talented GOAT. S10R12 and SC of S8 also jives with my reading that he would have a comfortable but imperfect old age. The H4 and HNet also matches the Notes in his (much) later in life too.
- Option 2: 7AM-9AM — S1R5 (SC:S1), only because he needs the S1 to, however R5 key element is S5, which would mean Hamilton is ‘Top Scholar’ material — I don’t know how he did academically. But this time SR gives him the holy trinity of all 3 of his requirements in his chart. The SC implies he would have an amazing old age.
