FAMOUS CASES
Famous Cases
100 public-domain historical figures, charted from documented birth dates by our real chart engine. Hours of birth are lost to history, so only the Year, Month, and Day pillars are cast. Commentary is original "case review" writing — known life events held against chart structure, no mystical claims — for traditional-culture study only.

Inclusion Criteria
- Only public-domain historical figures whose birth dates can be cross-confirmed from public records; uncertain cases are excluded.
- No figure has a reliably recorded birth hour, so only three pillars are cast — an incomplete chart naturally limits the reading.
- Commentary is written in an original "case review" voice: known historical facts as anchors, chart structure as the lens — never copied from other sites' case articles.
- Cases are for traditional-culture study only and are never a basis for judging any person.
