When "Sisters Who Make Waves 2026" premiered, Pets Tseng won by a landslide with 3.17 million votes, setting a new record for the "Sisters" series and topping 7 metrics across all platforms. Her song "One Person Thinking of One Person" instantly brought countless viewers back to the youthful memories of "KO One."
At 40, she finally experienced her biggest career explosion. What does BaZi say? The answer lies in her Luck Cycle (大運).
From a fortune analysis (命理) perspective, Tseng's resurgence is no accident—it is the inevitable result of "dual Warlord (七殺) Heavenly Stems and Fire Luck arriving." Her birth chart (命盤) destined her to be tempered by pressure in the first half of her life. Once the Luck Cycle (大運) turned favorable, the accumulated energy would explode at once.
Pets Tseng's BaZi Birth Chart (命盤)
Basic Information
- Female Chart (坤造)：Jia Zi (甲子) Jia Xu (甲戌) Wu Zi (戊子) (Hour unknown)
- Solar Calendar：October 21, 1984
- Birthplace：Taipei, Taiwan
- Day Master (日主)：Wu Earth (戊土) (Earth of the earth, representing solidity, tolerance, resilience)
| Year Pillar (年柱) | Month Pillar (月柱) | Day Pillar (日柱) | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Heavenly Stem (天干) | Jia (甲, Wood) | Jia (甲, Wood) | Wu (戊, Earth) |
| Earthly Branch (地支) | Zi (子, Water) | Xu (戌, Earth) | Zi (子, Water) |
| Ten Gods (十神) | Warlord (七殺) | Warlord (七殺) | Day Master (元女) |
| Hidden Stems (藏干) | Gui (癸) | Wu Xin Ding (戊辛丁) | Gui (癸) |
Pattern Key Points: Dual Warlord (七殺) Heavenly Stems, Strong Self Endures Warlord (身旺任殺)
Wu Earth Day Master (戊土日主) born in the month of Xu (戌月), when Earth is in command and strong, with a deep foundation. The most notable feature is dual Jia Wood (甲木) Warlord (七殺) Heavenly Stems in the Year and Month Pillars—Warlord (七殺) is the most aggressive Ten God (十神) in BaZi, representing pressure, competition, boldness, and extraordinary achievement.
The dual Jia Warlord (七殺) directly restrains the Day Master (日主), forming a "Warlord attacking the self" pattern. Fortunately, Wu Earth (戊土) itself is strong enough to withstand the pressure of the Warlord (七殺). This is called "Strong Self Endures Warlord (身旺任殺)"—only a strong body can bear heavy burdens and ultimately transform pressure into motivation.
In a nutshell: This is a birth chart (命盤) destined to grow under pressure and explode in challenges.
Why Wasn't She Famous in the First Half of Her Life? — Early Metal-Water Luck (金水運), More Pressure Than Opportunity
Many are curious: Pets Tseng debuted in 2008, starred in "K.O. Three Kingdoms" in 2009, and already had a representative work with "KO One Re-act" in 2012. Why didn't she become hugely popular?
The answer lies in her Luck Cycle (大運).
Early Luck Review
Tseng's early luck was Metal-Water Luck (金水運) (roughly covering from debut to around 2023). Metal is Talent (食傷), Water is Wealth (財星). For a Warlord Pattern (七殺格):
- Talent (食傷, Metal) Restrains Warlord (制殺): Talent (食傷) can suppress Warlord (七殺), but it also weakens the drive and explosive power that Warlord (七殺) brings. It's like "safe but not fierce"—career stability without a breakout.
- Wealth (財星, Water) Generates Warlord (生殺): Water on one hand drains Earth's energy (consuming the Day Master's (日主) vitality), and on the other hand generates Warlord (七殺) (increasing pressure). It's like consuming energy while adding burden.
This explains her early situation: She had talent, works, and reputation, but was missing that final push. It wasn't a lack of ability; the rhythm of luck hadn't arrived yet.
During this period, she did many "right things"—hundreds of performances in the musical "The Secret," honing her singing and stage skills, and winning the Golden Bell Award for Best Supporting Actress in 2019 for "The World Between Us." Every step accumulated strength, but the Luck Cycle (大運) hadn't yet given her the key to open the door.
2024 Onward: Fire-Earth Luck (火土運) Arrives—Resurgence Was "Only a Matter of Time"
Geng-Wu Luck Cycle (庚午大運) (approx. 2024-2033) — Key Turning Point
Around 2024, Tseng entered the Geng-Wu Luck Cycle (庚午大運). This luck cycle is a qualitative leap for her birth chart (命盤):
Heavenly Stem Geng Metal (庚金)—Talent (食神) Restrains Warlord (制殺) Effectively
Geng Metal (庚金) is Wu Earth's (戊土) Talent (食神). The function of Talent (食神) is to "release elegance"—channeling the Day Master's (日主) abundant energy into talent output. More importantly, Geng Metal (庚金) can restrain Jia Wood (甲木) Warlord (七殺), transforming the pressure and aggression of Warlord (七殺) into performance energy and stage charisma.
Earthly Branch Wu Fire (午火)—Mentor (正印) as Useful God (用神)
Wu Fire (午火) is Wu Earth's (戊土) Mentor (正印). The Mentor (印) star represents fame, benefactors, platforms, and learning. For someone with a strong self and strong Warlord (七殺), the Mentor (印) star can transform Warlord (化殺) and generate the self (生身)—converting the restraining force of Warlord (七殺) into positive driving force.
Simply put: Geng-Wu Luck Cycle (庚午大運) = Talent Output (Geng Metal (庚金)) + Platform Support (Wu Fire (午火)). These are exactly the two essential elements for a "resurgence."
2026 Bing-Wu Annual Cycle (丙午流年)—Full Firepower
The 2026 Annual Cycle (流年) is Bing-Wu (丙午), with Heavenly Stem Bing Fire (丙火) Mentor (正印) and Earthly Branch Wu Fire (午火), forming a Wu-Wu Self-Punishment (午午自刑) energy resonance with the Wu Fire (午火) in her Luck Cycle (大運).
What does the massive influx of Mentor (印) star (Fire) mean?
- Fame Explosion: Mentor (印) star directly corresponds to fame and public exposure.
- Platform Benefactor: The platform of "Sisters Who Make Waves 2026" on Mango TV is the real-world manifestation of the Mentor (印) star in BaZi.
- Nostalgia Trigger: The Mentor (印) star also represents past accumulation being re-recognized—her more than a decade of dedication in the "KO One" series and musicals was "printed" out this year.
3.17 million votes and a landslide victory are no accident; they are the result of over a decade of strength accumulation + Luck Cycle (大運) and Annual Cycle (流年) aligning simultaneously.
Typical Life Trajectory of a Warlord (七殺) Female Destiny
Tseng's birth chart (命盤) is a very typical "Warlord (七殺) Female Destiny"—the Month Pillar (月柱) main star is Warlord (七殺), and it appears in both the Year and Month Pillars. People with this type of destiny share several common traits:
1. Extremely Strong Stress Tolerance
Warlord (七殺) means "kill." Those surrounded by killing energy every day either get crushed or develop an iron will. Tseng is clearly the latter. Being lukewarm for 18 years in the industry would have made most people switch careers, but she persisted with musicals and singing. This is the resilience endowed by Warlord (七殺).
2. Gentle Exterior, Firm Interior
Wu Earth (戊土) Day Master (日主) appears gentle and approachable on the outside, giving an impression of being "easy to get along with." But the dual Jia Warlord (七殺) hides sharpness within, with strong principles and goal-orientation. Her performance on the show confirmed this—she seems gentle and easygoing, but when her singing power is unleashed, her aura is second to none.
3. Late Bloomer
The Warlord Pattern (七殺格) most fears early success (the killing energy is too heavy; one may not withstand it when young). Only after years of tempering and favorable Luck Cycle (大運) can the energy of Warlord (七殺) be "tamed" and transformed into career dominance and achievement. Rising to fame at 40 is precisely the standard script of "bitter first, sweet later" for the Warlord Pattern (七殺格).
Upcoming Luck: Good Fortune Won't Last Just One Year
The good news is that the Geng-Wu Luck Cycle (庚午大運) will last until around 2033. That is, Tseng's wave of good luck is not a flash in the pan, but a decade-long upward trend.
- 2026-2027: Bing-Wu (丙午) and Ding-Wei (丁未) Annual Cycles (流年), Fire and Earth Useful Gods (用神) continue to arrive, a peak period for exposure and work output.
- 2028-2029: Wu-Shen (戊申) and Ji-You (己酉) Annual Cycles (流年), Earth and Metal strength increase, favorable for deep talent display and career stabilization.
- 2030 onward: Entering the Ji-Si Luck Cycle (己巳大運), Fire and Earth power strengthens further, career enters a harvest period.
From a BaZi perspective, "Sisters Who Make Waves 2026" is only the starting point of this upward trend, not the end.
