Yang Fire day master. Four 10-year cycles beside selected public events.

Selection matters: these figures and events were chosen after their public stories were known. We show the full computed sequence, including windows with no selected event, but this page has no control group or pre-registered scoring. Use it to understand the method, not as evidence that it predicts events.

1961–1970Yin Fire Ox

The record before 1971 is a childhood, not a career — the timeline stays quiet here, as it should.

1971–1980Yang Fire Rat

1976 — Co-founded Apple [source]

Through his Yang Fire decade (1971–1980), the record places the founding of Apple in 1976 and its early rise. A second Fire layer over his Fire day master reads as a period of visible, outward drive. Correlation with the record, not its cause.

1981–1990Yin Wood Pig

1985 — Departed Apple [source]
1985 — Founded NeXT [source]
1986 — Bought the graphics group that became Pixar [source]

In the 1981–1990 window the selected arc includes his 1985 departure from Apple. The event sits near a 10-year cycle shift; this retrospective alignment does not establish prediction or cause.

1991–2000Yang Wood Dog

1997 — Returned to Apple as CEO [source]

Across 1991–2000 the public record covers NeXT, his stake in Pixar, and his 1997 return to Apple — a decade the timeline frames as rebuilding. Read it as when, not whether.

2001–2010Yin Water Rooster

2001 — Introduced the iPod [source]
2007 — Introduced the iPhone [source]

The 2001–2010 window holds the iPod in 2001 and the iPhone in 2007. Water meeting his Fire day master is an opposing-element decade; the public record places his most widely-covered work here. A lens on the timing, yours to weigh.
