Ang Lee has Earth at the commander position, and a (7) merges (11) to Fire. Plus, he might have more Earth in his hour column according to my deduction. So the objective is to control Authority (Earth). In another word, he has too much Fire-Earth, therefore Water-Wood serve as favor. Having Talent (Wood) as favor fits his job: he is a director, expressing is what he does.

(12)(1)(2) are the three steps of Water and (3)(4)(5) are the three steps of Wood, so Ang Lee is generally in favor fortune all his life. However, 4(2) is Fire sitting on Earth, so that was the low in his life. According to him, his wife was the sole breadwinner for the family for 6 years. He got married 1983, and 6 years is how long it takes to entered the next fortune. 1980 to 1990 is the low in his life, he couldn’t make success in that 10 years. From another perspective: he graduated 1980 and his first script was written in 1990, so he didn’t do anything in 10 years.

Since 1990, he was in good fortune, because (3) and (4) are strong roots for Wood. Although he was just started making movies, those early movies such like Pushing Hands were immediate successes. And if you see his best movies, those are all made in Water-Wood years. For example: his first Academy Award was for the movie Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon (1999) and that was a (4) year. His second Academy Award movie was Life of Pi (2012), that was a 9(5) year which was Water on Water tomb. And he had some bad movies such as Hulk (2003). It was made in a (7) year. (7) is Fire as foe, so the movie was a failure.

Since 2010, Ang Lee left the strong Wood fortune, so his prime is over. Some may disagree that he is stepping down quietly, because he just made a popular film, Billy Lynn's Long Halftime Walk. Well, that was because the movie was a 2016 movie. 2016 was a (9) year. (9)(1)(5) constructed a full merge to Water as favor, which gave him a boost of career. However, the general trend is: Ang Lee is going downhill.
