Reading Raoul's Birth Chart | The Flow of Kan-In Sosei That Drove His Debut and International Modeling Career
In this installment, we will examine the birth chart of Snow Man's Raoul based on his publicly available date of birth.
*Since the time of birth is unknown, we will only cover the scope visible through the three pillars.
*This is not a definitive assessment of his personality or private life, but rather an analysis organizing the chart structure and the flow of his fortune using course logic.
Birth Chart
Raoul was born on June 27, 2003.
Looking at the three pillars, the birth chart takes the following form.
Time Pillar: Unknown
Day Pillar: Xin-Wei
Month Pillar: Wu-Wu
Year Pillar: Gui-Wei
The Day Master is Xin Metal.
The Day Pillar is Xin-Wei.
Although Xin Metal sits on Wei, there are no Metal roots like Shen or You in the Earthly Branches.
The Month Branch is Wu.
Both the Year Branch and Day Branch are Wei.
With Wu and Wei aligned, the Earthly Branches have a strong energy of Fire and Earth.
The first important aspect of this birth chart is the Wu-Wu of the Month Pillar.
From the perspective of Xin Metal, the Ding Fire within Wu is the Official/Killing star.
The Wu Earth on the Month Stem is the Resource star.
In other words, within the Month Pillar, there is...
Official Fire → Resource Earth
...a flow.
We view this as Kan-In Sosei (Official and Resource generating each other).
When viewed as the birth chart of an entertainer, the 'Official' manifests not just as a company title, but as starring roles, being the face of the group, center positions, brand endorsements, official appearances, and positions of responsibility.
This chart is one where the Fire Official is received by the Wu Resource on the Month Stem.
It is viewed as a chart that does not merely stand out, but transforms attention and pressure into forms, training, works, brands, and official platforms.
The Wu-Gui Stem Combination and Wu-Wei Branch Combination of the Year and Month
In this birth chart, the Gui (Water) of the Year Stem and the Wu (Earth) of the Month Stem combine.
It is a Wu-Gui combination.
The birth chart is in the month of Wu (Horse), and the Earth Branches are also Wu, Wei (Sheep), and Wei.
It is a birth chart with strong Fire and Earth energy.
Therefore, this Wu-Gui combination is viewed not as a form where the Gui Water remains to control the Fire, but as a transformative combination that turns into Fire.
In other words, this is not a birth chart that uses Gui Water as a Eating God to suppress Fire.
Gui combines with Wu and enters the direction of transforming into Fire.
Furthermore, the Year Branch Wei and the Month Branch Wu form a Branch Combination.
Inside Wei are Ji, Ding, and Yi.
Inside Wu are Ding and Ji.
Through the Wu-Wei Branch Combination, Fire and Earth are unified.
In the Heavenly Stems, there is the Wu-Gui combination.
In the Earth Branches, there is the Wu-Wei combination.
In the Month Pillar, there is the Wu-Wu Official-Seal Mutual Production.
This birth chart is viewed not as one that cuts Fire with Water, but as one that establishes Fire and flows that Fire into the Seal.
The utility of this birth chart
The utility of this birth chart lies in the Wu-Wu of the Month Pillar.
The Month Branch Wu is the Official/Killing star.
The Month Stem Wu is the Seal star.
The Official flows into the Seal.
This is Official-Seal Mutual Production.
Official-Seal Mutual Production is not just about standing out.
Being noticed.
Taking responsibility.
Being given a mold.
Being trained.
Standing on a big stage.
Bearing an official position.
It manifests in such forms.
In Raoul's case, he stood in a prominent position within Snow Man at a young age, and even after his debut, he has stood on big stages in the form of starring in movies, modeling, and walking on international runways.
This aligns with the Kan-In-Sojo in his destiny chart.
Fire represents the center stage.
It is a place that gathers attention.
However, in this destiny chart, it does not end with just fire.
The fire flows into the Earth (Wu Earth).
In other words, this is a destiny chart that transforms not just into receiving attention, but into forms, training, management, works, brands, and official settings.
Looking at it as an entertainer, this is a destiny chart with auspicious luck for official positions.
However, this destiny chart is not one of complete control.
Because the Xin Metal lacks Metal roots in the earthly branches, even though the Kan-In-Sojo is established, the receiving root on the Day Master side is weak.
Therefore, the control classification is incomplete control.
Incomplete control does not mean it is bad.
The circuit is established.
But the receiving vessel on the Day Master side is not complete.
Therefore, the more he appears in places of strong fire, the more important the support of the Seal becomes.
Agency.
Group.
Training.
Works.
Brand.
Body management.
Official forms.
The more these Seal functions are present, the easier it becomes to turn the strength of the Official into achievements.
2020 Snow Man CD Debut
A period when the Official Fire suddenly emerged to the surface during the Ding Si Great Luck cycle
Raoul made his CD debut as a member of Snow Man on January 22, 2020.
In Four Pillars of Destiny, since the change of the year is viewed from the beginning of spring (Risshun), January 22, 2020, is still viewed as the Year of the Earth Pig (Ji Hai), not the Year of the Metal Rat (Geng Zi).
What is important during this period is the Great Luck cycle.
Raoul's Great Luck cycle is,
Age 0: Bing Chen
Age 7: Ding Si
Age 17: Bing Chen
Age 27: Yi Mao
Age 37: Jia Yin
Age 47: Gui Chou
Age 57: Ren Zi
Age 67: Xin Hai
Age 77: Geng Xu
Age 87: Ji You
This is the flow.
At the time of his debut, he was in the Ding Si major cycle, which began at age 7 and 1 month.
Ding Si is a major cycle with extremely strong fire.
From the perspective of Xin metal, fire is the official/killing star.
This destiny chart originally has the month branch as Wu, and both the year and day branches as Wei.
With the arrival of the Ding Si major cycle, the power of fire becomes even stronger.
In other words, this is a period when the power to appear in public, the power to attract attention, and the power to be pushed into official settings become stronger.
However, if the fire were merely strong, it would become pressure for the day master.
This is where the Wu earth in the month stem of the destiny chart itself comes into play.
The strong fire is received by the Wu seal.
Therefore, the Ding Si major cycle is not seen just as a cycle where fire becomes stronger, but as a cycle that activates Kan-In-Sojo (the generation of the official by the seal).
His CD debut as Snow Man can be seen as an event where he was pushed onto the center stage by the fire of the Ding Si major cycle and received that fire with the Wu seal in his original destiny chart.
2021: Starring in the movie 'Honey Lemon Soda'
A period when the attention of youthful fire manifested as the official position of a lead role
In 2021, he played the lead role in the movie 'Honey Lemon Soda'.
This was a solo lead role the year after his debut.
When looking at the destiny charts of entertainers, a lead role is viewed as an official position.
A lead role.
Being the face of something.
The center of a work.
A position of responsibility.
A position that is officially evaluated.
These things appear as the official star.
In Raoul's destiny chart, the month pillar is Wu Wu.
The fire of Uma (Horse) is Kan (Official/Career).
The earth of Tsuchinoto (Earth) is In (Seal/Resource).
It is a destiny chart where Kan flows into In.
'Honey Lemon Soda' is a phenomenon of fire in the sense of youthful brilliance and attention.
Appearing in public.
Gathering attention.
Standing at the center of a work.
This is fire.
However, a lead role in a movie cannot be established by fire alone.
Filming.
Lines.
Character development.
Leaving it behind as a work.
Taking responsibility as a lead.
This is the earth of In.
In other words, this lead role is seen as:
A phenomenon of Kan-In Sosei where the attention of fire is received by the form of earth.
as such.
The flow of standing in a lead role at a young age is the manifestation of the Tsuchinoto-Uma in the monthly pillar of his destiny chart.
2022: To Paris Fashion Week with Yohji Yamamoto
Modeling career where the gaze of fire is received by the form of earth
One of the most significant achievements in Raoul's career is his expansion overseas as a model.
Since 2022, he has appeared on the Yohji Yamamoto runway and has come to be noticed in the fashion world as well.
Here, the Kan-In Sosei of his destiny chart is appearing very clearly.
At first glance, modeling work is a glamorous job of fire.
Standing in front of people.
Gathering attention.
Appearing on stage.
Showing presence.
This is fire.
However, the runway is not just about fire.
Posture.
Walking style.
Body management.
The form to showcase clothing.
Carrying the brand's worldview.
This is the earth of the Seal.
In other words, the runway is,
a job that receives the gaze of fire with the form of earth
is what it is.
Raoul's destiny chart has strong fire of the Official, and it is a chart that receives that fire with the Seal.
Therefore, his modeling career is not just an extension of his popularity.
I see it as Kan-In Sosei manifesting on a different stage called fashion.
International fashion shows are not places that can be sustained by personal popularity alone.
The status of the brand.
Auditions.
Physical expression.
Official settings.
The power to carry a worldview.
These all connect to the symbolism of Kan-In Sosei.
Therefore, I see that Raoul's international modeling fortune is clearly present in his destiny chart.
The Bing-Chen (Fire-Earth) Great Luck period starting at age 17
A Great Luck period that solidifies the fire that has emerged into achievements
From age 17, he enters the Bing-Chen Great Luck period.
Bing is fire.
Chen is earth.
This Great Luck period fits the Kan-In Sosei of his original destiny chart very well.
Bing fire emerges as the Official.
Chen earth receives it as the Seal.
In other words, the Great Luck period itself is,
Fire → Earth
flow.
The month pillar of the chart itself is Wu-Wu (Earth-Fire).
The current major cycle is Bing-Chen (Fire-Earth).
Both the chart itself and the cycle show a flow of fire and earth.
Therefore, I view the period from age 17 onwards as one where the flow strongly pushed to the surface during the Ding-Si (Fire-Fire) cycle is being solidified into achievements during the Bing-Chen (Fire-Earth) cycle.
Emerging to the surface during the Ding-Si cycle.
Solidifying into achievements during the Bing-Chen cycle.
This is the flow.
2024: Starring in the movie 'Akabane Honeko no Bodyguard'
Starring role where fire was transformed into training and work during the Bing-Chen cycle
In 2024, he starred in the movie 'Akabane Honeko no Bodyguard'.
This period falls within the Bing-Chen major cycle.
The Bing-Chen cycle is a fire and earth cycle.
It is a time when the Kan-In-Sosei (official-seal mutual production) in the chart is easily activated.
A movie starring role is a manifestation of official career luck.
Moreover, this work involves action and physical conditioning.
Training the body.
Creating form.
Learning movements.
Standing at the center of a work.
This is a form of receiving the attention of fire through the training of earth.
In 'Honey Lemon Soda', the brilliance of youthful fire was at the forefront.
On the other hand, in 'Akabane Honeko no Bodyguard', while standing in the spotlight of fire, the earth elements of physical training and action become stronger.
This is characteristic of the Bing-Chen cycle.
I view the 2024 starring role as an event where the Kan-In-Sosei of the Bing-Chen cycle solidified further as an achievement.
The future from 2026 onwards
A period when Kan-In Sosei will emerge even more strongly with Bing Wu and Ding Wei
What I want to focus on from here on is the trend from 2026 onwards.
2026 is the year of Bing Wu.
Bing is fire.
Wu is also fire.
Raoul's destiny chart originally has the month of Wu, and there are Wei in the year branch and day branch.
When the Bing Wu of 2026 arrives there, the power of fire will become even stronger.
From the perspective of Xin metal, fire is the official killing (Kan-Satsu).
When viewed as an entertainer, official killing appears as starring roles, being a figurehead, positions of responsibility, official settings, and major recognition.
Therefore, I see 2026 as a year where the power on the public stage is likely to become even stronger.
However, in this destiny chart, it does not hold up just by the fire becoming stronger.
It is important to channel the fire into the seal (In).
Raoul's destiny chart has a Wu seal in the month stem.
The fire official strengthens, and that fire is received by the Wu seal.
In other words, 2026 is
a year where the fire of the official strengthens and Kan-In Sosei is more likely to move
as I see it.
Rather than just popularity, this is a trend that is likely to manifest in the form of taking on major work, standing in official settings, having responsible roles such as starring or being a figurehead, and receiving recognition in the fields of modeling and brands.
2027 is the year of Ding Wei.
Ding is fire.
Wei is earth, and there are also two Wei in the destiny chart.
2026, the year of Hinoe-Uma, is a year where fire strongly comes to the surface.
On the other hand, 2027, the year of Hinoto-Hitsuji, sees earth become stronger in addition to fire.
In other words,
it is a year where the flow of receiving fire with earth becomes even more pronounced.
It is.
If 2026 is a year where the fire of the official star strongly comes to the surface, then 2027 is a year where that fire is received by the seal star and solidified into form.
Emerging in 2026.
Solidifying as achievements in 2027.
I view it through this flow.
Furthermore, the current major cycle is the Hinoe-Tatsu cycle, which began at age 17.
Hinoe is fire.
Tatsu is earth.
The major cycle itself has a form that flows from fire to earth.
Into this comes the Hinoe-Uma of 2026 and the Hinoto-Hitsuji of 2027.
The major cycle is also fire and earth.
The annual cycle is also fire and earth.
The destiny chart itself is also Kan-In Sosei, centered on the Tsuchinoe-Uma.
Therefore, from 2026 to 2027, the destiny chart, major cycle, and annual cycle are all pointing in very much the same direction.
This is a period when Kan-In Sosei is likely to move strongly.
However, it is not a state of complete control.
The stronger the fire becomes, the stronger the pressure on the Shin-metal becomes.
Therefore, it is important not to receive the fire as it is, but to always channel it into the seal star.
Turn attention into form.
Turn popularity into works.
Turn the spotlight into achievements.
Turn pressure into training.
Turn major projects into official recognition.
If this flow is established, I see 2026 to 2027 as a very important period of leap for Raoul.
2028 is the year of the Wu Shen (Earth Monkey).
Wu is the Seal. The Shen contains Metal.
A weakness in Raoul's destiny chart is that the Xin Metal lacks a Metal root in the earthly branches.
Therefore, 2028, when the Shen arrives, will have the effect of supplementing the receiver on the Day Master side.
It is a flow where what was strongly expressed in 2026 and 2027 is slightly organized and returned to himself in 2028.
To summarize the flow from 2026:
2026 Bing Wu (Fire Horse): The Fire of the Official becomes strong, a year where big public stages and responsibilities are likely to emerge.
2027 Ding Wei (Fire Sheep): A year where Fire is received by Earth, making it easy to solidify works, achievements, and evaluations.2028 Wu Shen (Earth Monkey): A year where the Seal and Metal appear, making it easy to organize the strong flow of Fire back to the person himself.
2027 Ding Wei (Fire Sheep): A year where Fire is received by Earth, making it easy to solidify works, achievements, and evaluations.
2028 Wu Shen (Earth Monkey): A year where the Seal and Metal appear, making it easy to organize the strong flow of Fire back to the person himself.
These three years are quite important even within his current Bing Chen (Fire Dragon) Great Luck period.
Summary
Raoul's destiny chart centers on the Xin Wei (Metal Sheep) Day Master, with the Wu Wu (Earth Horse) Month Pillar, the Wu-Gui (Earth-Water) Heavenly Stem Combination, and the Wu-Wei (Horse-Sheep) Earthly Branch Combination being important.
In the Heavenly Stems, there is the Wu-Gui combination. In the Earthly Branches, there is the Wu-Wei combination. In the Month Pillar, there is the Wu-Wu Official Seal Mutual Production.
This destiny chart is one where the Fire of the Official is received by the Earth of the Seal, turning public stages, responsibilities, branding, and official settings into achievements.
Therefore, I see his career luck as auspicious.
His debut as Snow Man was a period when the Fire strengthened during the Ding Si (Fire Snake) Great Luck, pushing him onto the public stage. His starring role in 'Honey Lemon Soda' was an event where the attention of young Fire was received by the form of a work. His Yohji Yamamoto runway appearance is a model's luck where the gaze of Fire is received by the form of Earth. 'Akabane Honeko no Bodyguard' is a starring luck where he transformed Fire into training and work during the Bing Chen (Fire Dragon) Great Luck. 2026 to 2027 is a period when the destiny chart, Great Luck, and annual flow align with Fire and Earth, making the Official Seal Mutual Production likely to move even more strongly.
However, this destiny chart is not under complete control.
Because the Xin Metal lacks a Metal root in the earthly branches, even if the Official Seal Mutual Production is established, the receiving root on the Day Master side is weak.
Therefore, the control classification is incomplete control.
Even with imperfect control, if the circuit is established, it will grow significantly.
In the case of this birth chart, the important thing is not to extinguish the fire.
It is to channel the fire into the seal (In).
Attention into form.
Popularity into work.
The spotlight into achievements.
Pressure into training.
Big jobs into official recognition.
Raoul's birth chart clearly shows both the intensity of the fire that brings him to the forefront at a young age and the Kan-In Sosei (the flow from Officer to Seal) that shapes that fire into a structured form.
Therefore, his debut, lead roles, modeling, international runways, and the leap forward expected from 2026 onwards can be seen as a flow where the Kan-In Sosei of his birth chart and the fire/earth elements of his major and annual cycles are activated.
Next time, we will look at Shota Watanabe of Snow Man.
How do Shota Watanabe's beauty, voice, singing, and unique sense of branding manifest in his birth chart?
Next time, we will examine Shota Watanabe's birth chart to see his power to turn beauty and voice into a career, his popularity, and the flow of his growth as a personal brand.
