Portraits of Male Celebrities in Taiwan's Draft-Dodging Case: Why the "Official Dispute Annual Cycle" Exploded Centrally, Seen Through BaZi

The draft-dodging case in Taiwan's entertainment industry, which exploded at the end of 2025 and continues to burn into 2026, started with Wang Dalu as the "butterfly" flapping its wings, then dragged in Shi Jie Kai, Chen Bolin, Xie Kunda, Liao Yunjie... over 17 male artists were swept in. Some were sentenced to 2 years and 8 months, others have been convicted, and the entire Taiwanese entertainment scene seems to have hit a wall simultaneously.

Many people ask me: With so many people "getting into trouble at the same time," can fortune analysis see anything? My answer is: Rather than "fate," it's that in their respective BaZi charts, these years happen to coincide with an annual cycle where "official dispute stars are active and pressure is concentrated." BaZi never looks at whether a person is "good or bad," but rather "the energy of this period of time and space will push a person in a certain direction." Today, from a purely fortune culture perspective, let me help you understand what the "Warlord Annual Cycle" is and why it explodes centrally at this moment.

⚠️ Let me be clear: Fortune analysis is a cultural perspective, not a judgment of facts, and certainly not a moral judgment. All cases are subject to judicial outcomes, and everyone is entitled to the presumption of innocence. This article only states publicly confirmed information regarding indictments, confessions, and sentencing requests. The fortune analysis sections are purely "from a traditional cultural perspective, looking at why this annual cycle has high pressure," and by no means suggest that anyone is "destined to commit a crime."

First, Understand: What is the "Official Dispute Annual Cycle" and "Warlord Star Activation"?

In BaZi, there is a group of stars called "Warlord" (Executive + Warlord). It represents — the force that restrains you: rules, laws, responsibilities, pressure, superiors, systems.

• Executive is like "reasonable restraint": systems, responsibilities, status. When it goes smoothly, it means promotion, taking on responsibilities, and being recognized by society.
• Warlord is like "forceful suppression": sudden pressure, unexpected attacks, strong external constraints. When it goes badly, it means lawsuits, injuries, and being backed into a corner.

When a person has "heavy Warlord in their natal chart" or when the "annual cycle or Luck Cycle suddenly triggers Warlord," fortune analysis says that during this period, there is a tendency for official disputes, conflicts, and external pressure. This is not a prediction of who will break the law, but a description of an energy state: During these years, the tension between you and "rules/systems" will be amplified.

There is also a key term called "Maverick Meets Executive" — people with heavy "Maverick" in their chart are naturally rebellious, dislike being controlled, and defy authority. Once the annual cycle collides with the Executive star, it becomes a classic structure of "the more you try to circumvent rules, the more rules come after you." This, coincidentally, is the common underlying theme for many in this draft-dodging case.

Draft-dodging, in essence, is "evading a national-level rule constraint (military service)." And the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches of the annual cycles for 2025 (Yi-Si year) and 2026 (Bing-Wu year) happen to produce a strong "Warlord activation" on the birth charts of this group. Let's look at them one by one below.

Wang Dalu: Maverick Luck Collides with Warlord Annual Cycle, the Trigger Point of the "Butterfly Effect"

Wang Dalu (male, born May 29, 1991) is the trigger point of this entire storm. Public information: He was indicted for document forgery, with a sentencing request of 1 year, and he has confessed; additionally, regarding the Personal Data Protection Act part, he was sentenced to 6 months in April 2026 (can be commuted to a fine; his lawyer stated they will appeal).

The Day Master is Ji Earth. The most striking features in the chart are the "Blade" in the month branch Si and the Jia Wood (Executive) hidden in the day branch Hai. And from 2019 to 2028, he is in the "Geng Yin" Luck Cycle, where the Heavenly Stem Geng Metal is "Maverick."

As mentioned earlier, "Maverick" is the most rebellious and unruly star in BaZi — intelligent, individualistic, but inherently contemptuous of rules. When a person is in a Maverick Luck Cycle, the most taboo thing is for the annual cycle to further trigger the Executive star. This is called "Maverick Meets Executive," described in ancient texts as "a hundred disasters." In plain language: the more you try to cleverly circumvent rules, the more likely you are to collide head-on with them.

• 2025 Yi-Si Year: The Heavenly Stem Yi Wood is "Warlord" for Ji Earth, directly restraining the Day Master; the Earthly Branch Si Fire brings "Travelling Horse," indicating movement and matters being brought to light. Maverick Luck plus Warlord Annual Cycle — the energy of conflict exposure is maxed out this year.
• 2026 Bing-Wu Year: The Si-Wu fire is even stronger, pushing the original Maverick temperament further. This year is more like a phase of "follow-up processing and lingering repercussions."

From a fortune perspective, this simply means: During these two years, the tug-of-war between him and the "system/rules" is particularly intense. As for legal responsibility, everything is subject to the verdict.

Shi Jie Kai: Strong Self Encounters Warlord Annual Cycle, a Year of "Make-Up Lessons" in Life

Shi Jie Kai (male, born March 6, 1983) Public information: He admitted to originally being in normal physical condition, spending 150,000 NTD to feign high blood pressure to avoid service, ultimately obtaining substitute service status and enlisting; after the incident, he publicly apologized and faces a sentencing request of 2 years and 8 months.

The Day Master is Gui Water, and the Self is very strong (the chart has 31% Water and 26% Wood, a vast expanse of Water and Wood). People with strong Self have abundant energy, strong opinions, and are not easily defeated, but they are also most prone to "their own will colliding with external constraints." His month pillar Yi Mao is "Talent" — Talent and Maverick are from the same family of "rebellious/talent" stars, equally disliking being boxed in.

From 2023 to 2032, he is in the "Geng Xu" Luck Cycle, where Geng Metal is "Mentor" and Xu Earth hides "Executive." A Mentor Luck is normally a luck of nobles and blessings, but the Executive hidden in the Earthly Branch Xu, combined with —

• 2025 Yi-Si Year: Si Fire clashes with his day branch "Si" and year branch "Hai," forming a Si-Hai Clash, a classic sign of "upheaval, digging up old accounts, and being shaken from one's position."
• 2026 Bing-Wu Year: Fire and Earth rise again, continuing the Executive star signal.

From a fortune perspective, this is an annual cycle where "a person with strong Self is forced to bow their head and make up for responsibilities they previously circumvented" — the ancients would call this "make-up lessons." He himself said in an interview, "This is their life lesson," which actually aligns with the energy direction described by fortune analysis: What must be faced, when the time comes, must be faced.

Chen Bolin: Heavy Warlord in Natal Chart, a "Structural" Pressure

Chen Bolin (male, born August 27, 1983 in Taipei) Public information: During interrogation, he admitted to spending 100,000 NTD through a group to evade military service by feigning "high blood pressure." He was indicted for obstructing military service and other crimes, with a sentencing request of 2 years and 8 months; after the incident, he was removed from his hosting program.

Chen Bolin is different from the previous two. His Day Master is Ding Fire, but the entire chart has an extremely heavy Water influence (Water accounts for 34%) — the year stem directly reveals "Gui Warlord," with two Hai and one Shen, the Warlord Water energy completely surrounds the Ding Fire lamp.

That is to say: His "Warlord pressure" did not just appear in these two years; it was inherently heavy in his chart. For people with this structure, fortune analysis says, "They must learn to coexist with pressure and rules throughout their lives." From 2020 to 2029, he is in the "Bing Chen" Luck Cycle (Rival Wealth Luck, supporting the Self), giving the natal Ding Fire some support, but the Warlord foundation is too thick —

• 2025 Yi-Si and 2026 Bing-Wu: The Si-Wu fire supports the Self and backs up Ding Fire. This is actually a relatively positive signal of "having nobles and being able to withstand it." However, the activation of the annual cycle fire also stirs up the inherent heavy conflict between Water and Fire in his chart, bringing long-latent issues to the surface.

In other words, from a fortune perspective, his challenge is more like a "structural issue that was bound to come, and just happened to erupt at this moment" rather than a sudden calamity.

Others Named: The Same "Space-Time Climate"

Besides the three above, this wave also named Xie Kunda (born 1982, Energy member, confessed, sentencing request of 2 years 8 months), Liao Yunjie (Lil Jay, born 1986, associated with Lollipop/911, admitted to spending 300,000 NTD, sentencing request of 2 years 8 months), and others. Their birth time data is mostly incomplete, so I will not rashly analyze each chart here to avoid "fabricating birth charts."

But there is a macro perspective worth mentioning: 2025 Yi-Si and 2026 Bing-Wu are two consecutive years where "Wood and Fire turn strong, and Fire energy is in command." In the collective climate view of traditional fortune analysis, Fire governs "revelation, exposure, scrutiny" — hidden old matters are easily brought to light and exposed in such years. This is also why many "old accounts" explode centrally at the same time: It's not that anyone's fate is particularly bad, but that the climate of this space-time happens to illuminate what everyone has hidden.

This is precisely what BaZi culture wants to remind people: Instead of dwelling on "Why me? Why now?" it's better to recognize "the laws of this space-time" and then follow them to face and settle matters.

The Annual Cycle Will Pass: How to View Your Own "Official Dispute Year"?

If you've read this far and are starting to worry, "Will I also be in a Warlord Annual Cycle this year?" — don't panic first. There is a very important saying in fortune analysis: The annual cycle is "climate," not a "fate verdict."

Entering a year with heavy Warlord does not mean you will get into trouble; it is more like a reminder:

• This year, your relationship with "rules, responsibilities, and systems" will be amplified. Instead of stubbornly circumventing or enduring, it's better to handle the responsibilities that need to be dealt with early and head-on — by facing them with the flow, the tension will be much less.
• The Warlord Annual Cycle is also a year of "reorganization." Many people, after being forced to bow under pressure, actually sort out the parts of their lives that were previously muddled. After the pressure passes, there is often a more solid period of rebuilding.
• The other side of "exposure" in a strong Fire annual cycle is "clarity." Being illuminated is not necessarily a bad thing — it forces you to honestly face your true self.

The peak of the annual cycle for this group in the draft-dodging case will gradually pass after 2027 as the Fire energy recedes and their respective Luck Cycles shift. Fortune analysis never advocates that "calamity is inevitable"; it advocates accepting the laws of this space-time, adapting to them, and then getting life back on track. This is also what we have always believed: Fate is not a tool for self-condemnation, but a map to see clearly "how to proceed at this moment."

As for the cases themselves, leave them to the judiciary and await the results — that is the best response to "rules."
