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.

Lu Feng Xun Kong (Lu Meets Xun Kong)A Lu star falls in Xun Kong: gains can be a little hollow and take an extra step to become real. Save a share of what comes in, and get promises in writing.Later pattern

Where the chart lines up

Changing her style in the 1940s

In the early 1940s, keeping up with changing popular taste as well as her own artistic leanings, Umm Kulthum asked composer Zakariyya Ahmad and colloquial poet Mahmud Bayram el-Tunsi for songs in styles seen as authentically Egyptian, a sharp break from the modernist romantic songs of the 1930s. In her chart, the Life Palace holds Po Jun (De) with Hua Quan. Po Jun is the star that replaces old ways, and Hua Quan is making one's own call. That lines up with her choosing to change her style herself.

Opening night of Egyptian State Radio

In 1934 she sang on the inaugural broadcast of Egyptian State Radio, and from then on gave a concert on the first Thursday of every month. This falls in her Decade Luck for nominal ages 26–35, when the decade's Four Transformations send Tian Tong (Bu) with Hua Lu (Transformation of Wealth) into her natal Friends Palace. The Friends Palace covers friends and the wider public, and Hua Lu is gain. That lines up with radio carrying her voice to a vast audience.

A 1932 tour of the Middle East and North Africa

In 1932 she set out on a major tour of the Middle East and North Africa, performing in Damascus, Baghdad, Beirut, Rabat and Tunis before ending in Tripoli. In her chart, the birth-year Wu Qu (De) with Hua Ke (Transformation of Fame) falls in the Travel Palace. The Travel Palace covers going out into the world and being away from home, and Hua Ke is reputation. That fits her fame spreading well beyond Egypt.
