Where the chart lines up

Riding, hunting and the parallel bars

Richthofen loved horse riding and hunting, and he was keen on gymnastics, excelling on the parallel bars and winning several awards at school; he also hunted wild boar, elk, birds and deer with his brothers Lothar and Bolko. In his chart, the Life Palace holds Tan Lang (Miao). Tan Lang is often read as wide interests and a love of activity, and his boyhood pursuits can be read alongside it.

Writing his memoir, Der rote Kampfflieger

During his leave from September to October 1917, Richthofen completed his autobiographical sketch Der rote Kampfflieger (The Red Battle Flyer), written on the instructions of the "Press and Intelligence" section of the Air Force. This falls in his Decade Luck for nominal ages 26–35 (1917–1926), whose Four Transformations send Wen Chang (Miao) with Hua Ke (Transformation of Fame) into his natal Friends Palace. Wen Chang is often read as writing and documents, Hua Ke is reputation, and the Friends Palace covers the crowd. The two can be read together.

Born into a Prussian noble family

Richthofen was born into a prominent Prussian aristocratic family, and his father was a major. His title, Freiherr (baron), is not a given name nor strictly a hereditary title, since all male members of the family were entitled to it, even during the lifetime of their father. In his chart, the Property Palace holds Tian Liang (Wang) with Hua Lu (Transformation of Wealth). The Property Palace covers the family estate and the family line, and Hua Lu is good fortune, which fits his distinguished family.
