Bibi’s troubles
There’s an interesting documentary called The Bibi Files that delves into Benjamin Netanyahu’s ongoing corruption trial. The accusations center on claims that Netanyahu accepted bribes from wealthy individuals, often in the form of luxury items such as expensive cigars, champagne, and jewelry.
As I watched the documentary, I analyzed his BaZi chart and initially struggled to find a clear connection between his chart structure and the allegations. Something felt incomplete about the story—until about 30 minutes into the film when the narrative shifted to focus on his wife, Sara Netanyahu.
It turns out that Sara was the driving force behind the demand for these extravagant gifts. The documentary suggests that Benjamin Netanyahu, who appears somewhat intimidated by his wife, facilitated these transactions to appease her. Adding to the intrigue, it’s alleged that Sara has a drinking problem, which could explain her fixation on acquiring expensive champagne.
The documentary also includes footage of Sara during interrogations—filmed without her knowledge—where she comes across as noisy, demanding, and entitled. Her behavior gives insight into why Netanyahu might feel pressured by her.
Looking back at his BaZi chart, my impression of him wasn’t particularly remarkable. He is a weak Yang Wood Day Master with a decent amount of Metal (his Power Component) hidden in the branches. However, his weak Yang Wood and the lack of Fire in his chart mean that the Metal is not fully under his control. But when we factor in Sara’s chart, everything begins to make more sense.
Sara is a strong Yang Fire Day Master with substantial hidden Fire within the Dog branches of her chart. This Fire indirectly supports Netanyahu
by forging the Metal he needs, which represents political power in his BaZi structure. According to accounts from his staff, Sara often acts as an extension of him, exerting authority and even bossing people around, functioning almost as a parallel power.
Her massive Earth element, which represents the Output component in BaZi, reveals her as an outspoken and demanding individual. This unchecked Output suggests someone who obsesses over appearances and recognition—traits reflected in her fixation on luxury goods like jewelry. This excessive Output likely creates an enormous amount of pressure on Netanyahu, as well as on those who work with or under her.
In her chart, Earth firmly controls Yang Water, symbolizing her husband and a powerful public figure, as this Yang Water is prominently positioned at the top of the chart.
Sara’s temperament and insatiable desires, driven by her excessive Output, have placed Benjamin Netanyahu in a precarious position. While his chart alone doesn’t fully explain the dynamics of his current challenges, understanding the influence of his wife’s chart provides a more complete picture. Her strong presence and unrelenting demands seem to have played a central role in shaping the circumstances surrounding his corruption trial.
Netanyahu’s relationships with women appear challenging, reflected in his chart. The Yang Metal in his Day Branch directly challenges his Yang Wood, while excessive Earth—representing women—suggests he may feel overpowered by female influence at times. This strong Earth also indicates a high sex drive, which aligns with reports of infidelity in his marriage.
Dynamic Talent Bridge charts are available on our BaZi Hero Android and iOS apps.
Benjamin Netanyahu’s Leadership Talent Bridge has been a defining feature of his life, consistently guiding his political career. However, it experienced a significant boost in both quality and intensity around 2013, as reflected in his Dynamic Leadership Talent Bridge. This period marked a turning point, and shortly afterward, he secured another mandate as Prime Minister of Israel, solidifying his position as one of the nation’s most enduring political figures.
