Case Review

Original writing · hindsight review · anchored in known history, viewed through chart structure

Direct Resource in the year pillar signifies the pursuit of truth; Rob Wealth in the month pillar signifies refusal to yield. Looking back on Galileo upholding heliocentrism and holding to his convictions even before the Inquisition (the legendary “And yet it moves”): the Direct Resource is the truth-seeking spirit of experiment and observation, and the Rob Wealth is not bowing before power. This reflects that structure.

Blind and under house arrest in his last years, he still wrote Two New Sciences — Ding (丁) Fire never went out. This may be read here.

This is a retrospective cross-cultural comparison, not a definitive claim.
