Do Kwon – The Fall Of A Creative Genius

Do Kwon is a charismatic founder of Terra blockchain. This crypto project experienced massive turbulence a few months ago, resulting in more than $40 billion in direct losses and many more billions of indirect damage across the financial sector.

When a founder is highly vocal, engaged with the public, and users identify him with the project, the project’s destiny will be significantly influenced by his identity. We reviewed his BaZi Chart, trying to determine what went wrong in his case.

COMMANDING ABILITIES

Do Kwon is a Yin Earth Master Element, with Wood and Metal Elements being the most dominant in his Chart. Metal is an Output Component, whereas Wood is a Power Component. These two Components create an excellent Leadership Talent Bridge, indicating that he has superb commanding abilities.

Strong Output means that he is rebellious and has no problem speaking his mind, but that character trait can also put him in trouble if left unchecked.

CREATIVE ABILITIES

There is an interesting dynamic between his Yang Fire and Yin Metal; they attract each other. Such a smooth combination of the Intellect Component (Fire) and the Output Component (Metal) indicates strong intellectual, learning, and creative abilities.

2022 TROUBLES

As we can see, his Chart is excellent, making him qualified for his role; therefore, the question is: what went wrong in 2022? The key lies in his monthly pillar, Yang Fire/Monkey. This pillar is crucial to his creativity and career (and, indirectly, to his finances).

In February 2022, we entered the Yang Water / Tiger year. This pillar is challenging the monthly pillar. Yang Fire is in a clash with Yang Water, and Monkey conflicts with Tiger (Metal vs. Wood clash). This type of clash on the month pillar can be extremely severe. It disrupted many aspects of his Chart and, most importantly, temporarily disabled the excellent combination of Yang Fire and Yin Metal. Due to the nature and positioning of these two Elements, his image has sustained significant damage, as evidenced over the past couple of months.

IMPENDING LEGAL ISSUES

The Monkey vs. Tiger clash is essentially a Yang Metal vs. Yang Wood clash. Yang Wood represents authority to Yin Earth Day Master, so this clash also represents a clash with authorities. His best strategy would be to delay any legal action until we are out of the Tiger year, thereby improving his chances of prevailing in any pending lawsuit. Any legal actions he undertakes will face significant headwinds until we enter the Rabbit year in February 2023.

FAVORABLE DYNAMIC LUCK

Despite the difficulties, his 10-year Dynamic Luck remains favorable. Since 2020, he has been in a Yin Water / Snake period. Snake brings Fire and utilizes his Metal Element within the Monkey, thereby reinforcing the Monkey’s creativity. Yin Water brings him Wealth Component, supporting his money luck.

Overall, his Chart is of high grade, well utilized, and once he is out of this unfavorable Tiger year, he should be back on track with his creative work.

A project or company cannot be separated from its founder or CEO, particularly when that person exerts significant influence on the community and developers. His problematic destiny moment could have been reduced, though, simply by going low profile and letting others take the spotlight until his Chart situation improves.

This case shows again how critical and powerful BaZi analysis is. A single BaZi advice could have significantly reduced that $40 billion meltdown and saved thousands of people from bankruptcy or severe loss of wealth. But the central question is whether anyone informed him of the potential issue, whether he would act on that information, or whether he would adhere to his established practices. Do Kwon has a high-quality Chart, which is where his confidence comes from, but every Chart has a weak point that eventually gets triggered.
