You have plenty of drive and dare to break new ground, with both help and resistance around you.

Steady your pace so your effort is not wasted.

Stars
Po Jun NatureYou are willing to tear down and rebuild, unafraid to start over. Breaking new ground is your gift; see things through to the end as well.
Mixed StarsAuspicious stars back you and malefic stars stir things up. Money and energy drain away easily, so do the math before you spend.
CharacterClassical texts say Po Jun is tough, keeps to itself and loves to win, and prospers after leaving the family home. Today, it means striking out on your own, away from where you started, is how you get ahead.“The Nature of Po Jun”
With Ling XingClassical texts say Po Jun meeting Huo Xing or Ling Xing means rushing about and toil. Today, it means you can't sit still and take on everything, so put rest into your schedule.“Star Combinations: Po Jun”
Life Master Lian ZhenYou carry a firm inner yardstick and strong emotions. When principle and passion live side by side, you shine. Your Life Master sits in your Fortune Palace, so your thoughts often circle around your inner life.
Patterns
Sha Po Lang (Killings, Breaker, Wolf)Your Life Palace sits on the Sha Po Lang line: life moves in big swings and you rarely sit still. Change is your fuel, but always leave yourself a way back.Classic pattern
This part follows the Flying Star school: where this palace's stem sends its transformations. It is a different method from the classical reading above.
Lu to CareerYour energy naturally goes into work, and it flows better the more you do. Look for a role you can grow in long-term.
Ji to ChildrenThe palace stem sends Tian Ji Hua Ji into your Children Palace: when it comes to your own affairs, your concern often ends up with children and younger people.
Chang ShengNew life is stirring, and fresh starts often sprout here. Nurture them slowly and they grow stronger.
Fu BingUnexpected resistance or behind-the-scenes talk can crop up. Think one step ahead and you will not be thrown off.

The Life Palace is about: Who you are at the core: your temperament and innate makeup. Every chart reading starts here.

Where the chart lines up

Dribbling through the line, with Po Jun in the Life Palace

What people remember most about Messi is how he carries the ball forward: low centre of gravity, quick feet, faster with the ball than without it, able to take on several players in a row and cut straight through a defence. His Life Palace's main star is Po Jun (De), and the Three Directions form Sha Po Lang, the Qi Sha, Po Jun and Tan Lang pattern of bold change. In plain terms Po Jun means break first, then rebuild, not following the existing road. That lines up with the way he tears through opponents' shape by dribbling.

First-team debut in 2004

On October 16, 2004, the 17-year-old Messi made his official La Liga debut for Barcelona, nominal age 18 by the chart's count. In the annual chart for 2004, a Jia Shen year, the annual Life Palace returns exactly to his natal Life Palace, and in that year's Four Transformations Po Jun takes Hua Quan (Transformation of Power) in the natal Life Palace too: his own palace lights up and starts to hold the reins. In the year he broke through as a teenager, the chart shows the focus coming back to him.

A new decade and a new stage in 2021

In August 2021 a tearful Messi announced he was leaving Barcelona for Paris Saint-Germain; that same summer he led Argentina to the Copa América, and the following year to the World Cup. In 2021 he was at nominal age 35, just entering the Decade Luck of the Children Palace (roughly 2021–2030). The decade's Tian Ji takes Hua Lu (Transformation of Wealth) in the natal Children Palace, which also holds Tian Ma. Tian Ji governs change and Tian Ma movement, and Hua Lu sits in the decade's Life Palace itself: the chart shows ten years in which a change of surroundings brings returns.

Rosario, his roots

Messi left Argentina for Spain at 13, but he has kept close ties with his hometown of Rosario, and in 2017 he went back to Rosario to marry. His Property Palace is held by Tai Yin (Miao) with Hua Lu, and it also has Lu Ma Jiao Chi, the pattern of Lu and Tian Ma racing together. The Property Palace covers home and one's base, and with Hua Lu here comes deep feeling for home and nourishment drawn from it: however far he goes, his roots stay where they were.
