Napoleon was not a tall guy because his self code was Wood and his Wood was heavily weakened by strong Money and Authority. In short, he was an overall weak that had Strength and Shield as favor. During his life time, fortunes were gradually strengthening the power of his self code, and his life should have been getting better all the time, right? Wrong! That was not true and history has proved it. In fact, Napoleon early fortunes were pretty serious weakening fortunes, but he made quite an accomplishment then. The last step (4) provided his a strong root, but instead of having the best time in life, that was when he dies. So what was wrong with our analysis?

It turns out Napoleon had a pretty unusual life code. It was a loop of growth: Money of the year column supported the adjacent Authority in the month column, and Authority supported the Shield above, and Shield supported the nearby self code, and self code supported the Talent below it, and Talent brought supporting back to Money. Napoleon’s self code was not afraid of Money and Authority’s attack not because it was strong enough to take it, but for the power of five elements was circulating like a river; when one element increased in power, others also increased in power. 5(5) and 6(6) fortunes were strong Money fortunes; most of Napoleon’s achievement was made during these 20 years because Money was the source of the circulation.

So the five elements in Napoleon’s life code were running in circle, which element was the weak link in the circle? It was 9 the Shield. Money was strong for taking an entire column; Authority was strong for taking the command; Talent was also not weak because it occupied a root. The self code was weak and relied on the Shield, and the Shield didn’t have a strong root and therefore became the critical point of the circulation. Napoleon was dogged by failures since 1814 because the fortune 4 merged the crucial 9 and broke the circulation; (4) served as Blade, further increased the conflict in his life code. He died in the 8(8) year.

This special structure is called “loop of growth”, it’s rare because the owner must have all element, and the supporting code must be adjacent to each other, and there couldn’t be any crush and conflict between adjacent codes. In an ancient fortune telling book, there was a perfect example of this kind of life code:

Judge	Guardian		Gourmet
8	10	1	3
(2)	(6)	(1)	(3)
Collector	Gourmet	Guardian	Comrade

The origin of the loop is the commander code (6). (6) is Fire that merges and supports Earth (2), Earth (2) supports Metal 8, Metal 8 supports self code 1 which is Wood, Wood supports Fire 3 which sitting on strong stage (3). All elements have roots and all codes are strong. What a priceless life code! Once you have a life code like this, you have no foe since all elements move together. The owner of the life code is lost, it just recorded: he had great character, high status, lots of money, 13 sons and he lived over 100 years.

Life code like this was most highly praised by ancient Chinese: that would grant the owner a good and steady life. But I don't like life codes like this because they have no twist and turns in their life, in another word, they are sinecures. A life without struggle will never achieve greatness.
