Jim Carrey’s dark side

Last week, we wrote about Jose Mourinho and his career troubles, caused by an unfavorable Dynamic Pillar. Jim Carrey is another example of similar BaZi Chart issues, which we would like to elaborate on.

When I was young, Jim Carrey was my favorite comedian. I loved his goofy, energetic performances, but then again, who didn’t? He made a lot of classic movie hits, but one that really stands out for me is Liar, Liar, a movie that offers the best possible comedy plot: a lawyer who is unable to lie due to a spell. That movie cracks me up every time, and I watch it every few years.

In the 90s, Jim Carrey was on top of his game, producing movie after movie, hit after hit, but lately his career has gotten a bit sidetracked; we haven’t seen a blockbuster from him for many years. He also started to behave quite strangely and in a conflicting way, which made him unattractive and too risky for big movie studios.

Now let’s see what we can find out about his BaZi Chart.

ODD CHART STRUCTURE

He was born under the Yin Wood Master Element, and the first thing we noticed is that all his Elements are of Yin polarity. Just this piece of information tells us that this is one very unusual, out-of-balance Chart. There are two Talents, Warrior and Pioneer, which belong to, how I call it, the odd club. These two Talents usually bring unusual, out-of-the-ordinary behavior to a person, and his Chart is basically 70% made up of those two Talents; therefore, the oddity of this Chart is exceptionally high. Jim Carrey is a person who often shows unexpected and unusual character traits in most situations.

Pioneer is powerful, which gives him energetic, somewhat hectic behavior. Warrior is in constant conflict with Yin Wood ME; therefore, he doesn’t handle authority very well. He is a person who wants to remain free and independent, no matter what.

AUSPICIOUS FIRE ELEMENT

During his prime time, he was in the Fire Rooster period (1996-2006), which positively impacted his Metal Element and boosted his Output Component in the form of Artist Talent. That setup worked pretty well during the Fire Monkey period as well (2006-2016), but then he entered a Wood Goat period, which threw his Chart completely out of balance. Yin Wood was attacking both his Yin Metal and Goat, and Goat was in a clash with both Oxen. Basically, 3/4 of his Chart was under attack, which is not pleasant at all.

Since he entered that period, his behavior changed rather drastically. From being goofy and funny, he became dark and conflicted. He got extremely political since 2016, using his cartoons and Twitter to attack Donald Trump and the current administration. He is taking on darker roles, and an overly strong Earth Element probably causes these; it’s like a hole in the ground has swallowed him. With such an extreme clash involving Earth and Wood (which also represents his Master Element), this is a likely scenario.

One of the central issues in his Chart is the weak Fire Element, which represents the Output Component. For an actor, the Output is essential; it’s pretty hard to build a positive, outgoing image without it. Between 1996 and 2016, he had Fire, through Dynamic Chart, but once that Fire was gone, the Yin Metal became uncontrolled, and the Chart was generally far less effective.

He is still active and creative in many fields, from acting and movie producing to painting, but this is not the same Jim Carrey we know; it’s far more serious and more prone to conflict. Due to a lack of Output, his public voice and general audience reach are weaker. The good thing is that he became quite spiritual during this period; it’s something that usually happens when we are facing difficult periods. He managed to fight off his depression, gave up on medication, and basically healed himself mentally without the use of any substance, which is quite impressive. It shows us that he has extreme willpower, despite all the troubles he is currently experiencing.
