We are like a little child entering a huge library. The walls are covered to the ceilings with books in many different tongues. The child knows that someone must have written these books. It does not know who or how. It does not understand the languages in which they are written. But the child notes a definite plan in the arrangement of the books - a mysterious order which it does not comprehend, but only dimly suspects." ~ Albert EinsteinUnknownnoreply@blogger.comBlogger37125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7473291073538659761.post-56667174134365225902012-01-15T17:37:00.000+08:002012-01-15T17:37:32.431+08:00Dragon Riding ...<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;"><em>Guidelines:</em></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;"><em>1) Dragon Riding reveals certain dynamics of Qi</em> [气]<em> for 2012 Year Of The Water Dragon;</em></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;"><em>2) First and foremost, you should avoid crossing paths with the ‘inauspicious’ Qi; then you may do the recommended placements according to your needs;</em></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;"><em>3) Traditionally, the Chinese selects 'auspicious' date and time for various activities that they consider important.

The trend is for businesses to multiply their income sources. The result is regrouping and expansion on one hand, consolidation of resources and trimming excesses on the other. Watch out for news concerning MLM companies;</span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: white;"><span style="font-family: "Arial", "sans-serif"; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman';">3) Conflicts between upper and lower tiers, as well as brushes between east and west persist, though now it will be more backstage manipulations than upfront confrontation as attention shifts to focus on mutual gains. Nevertheless, severing of ties, break up of partnerships or even disintegration of existing system / institution can still occur if not handled properly.

Increased climatic disruptions and seismic activities can be anticipated, likely escalating towards end 2012 or early 2013 in Southeast Asia (perhaps Indonesia which lies on the Ring Of Fire), or in the southeastern region of individual country. Issues about crops (eg. wheat, corn, beans, etc.) and rare earth garner attention;</span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;"><span style="font-family: "Arial", "sans-serif"; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman';"><span style="color: white; font-size: large;">5) While 2010 relates to sea creatures, 2011 relates to creatures with wings. Recent incidents about the contaminated German eggs, the mass death of birds across the world, etc. testify to this effect. The Green Hornet is Hollywood’s winged entry. Paul the Oracle Octopus might have had its day last year, Mani the Psychic Parakeet is finally poised to have its ‘fly-over’ this year. Even human inventions with wings - aeroplanes, or our holy counterparts - angels, will not be spared. Hence, aviation and religious matters will be subjects of contention. In creative industries, feathery designs reign;</span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;"><span style="font-family: "Arial", "sans-serif"; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman';"><span style="color: white; font-size: large;">6) Beware of terrorist bombings. Related issues about torture and security (esp. involving fingerprinting) tend to surface. There may be high profile prison breaks or riots or perhaps controversial details about inmate treatments surfacing;</span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;"><span style="font-family: "Arial", "sans-serif"; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman';"><span style="color: white; font-size: large;">7) If you drink, don’t drive!

The X-chromosome may be decoded further to shed new light on the human genome. Genetic mutations will be of concern, X-Men to the rescue!</span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;"><span style="font-family: "Arial", "sans-serif"; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman';"><span style="color: white; font-size: large;">9) Beware of cancers (esp. of reproductive organs), finger or neck injuries, digestive and skin problems, sexual diseases. Bird Flu and Hand Foot Mouth Disease pose epidemic threats. Nervous breakdowns and anger outbursts plague many;</span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;"><span style="font-family: "Arial", "sans-serif"; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman';"><span style="color: white; font-size: large;">10) Major power outage and breakdown of equipment is expected, precautionary backup is strongly advised. Be cautious of lightning strikes and electrocution. Smart phones continue to revolutionize the way we live. Hopefully an xphone will emerge to break the monopoly of iphone, bringing concession to end users. Internet and electronic communication devices continue to make waves. Their ethics of usage, esp. in view of the spread of pornography, will be thrown up for debate;</span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;"><span style="font-family: "Arial", "sans-serif"; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman';"><span style="color: white; font-size: large;">11) Beans will be spilled, and secrets exposed. Wikileaks continues to upset and entice. Espionage activities intensify. Stealth and (in)visibility technologies thrive. Tomb excavations unearth new historical evidences. Tax man comes knocking at the door for undisclosed dealings;</span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;"><span style="font-family: "Arial", "sans-serif"; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman';"><span style="color: white; font-size: large;">12) Beauty and image industries tend to be in the news.

Polygamy and elopement (esp. involving youngsters) are in. Human sexuality, libido and morality are called to question. Beware of crimes of passion;</span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;"><span style="font-family: "Arial", "sans-serif"; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman';"><span style="color: white; font-size: large;">14) Legal suits arising from misrepresentation or defamation will surface;</span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;"><span style="font-family: "Arial", "sans-serif"; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman';"><span style="color: white; font-size: large;">15) Interests in Ultraman, Cubism and Origami (or other paper craft) are rekindled;</span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: white;"><span style="font-family: "Arial", "sans-serif"; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman';">16) Twins, quadruplets, etc. will have a shot at fame (or infamy). Such multiplicity can extend to geography as twin peaks, and architecture as twin towers or ‘split’ buildings, eg. Petronas Twin Towers (Kuala Lumpur), </span><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Georgia", "serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman';">Ren</span></i><span style="font-family: "Arial", "sans-serif"; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman';"> Building (Shanghai), Marina Bay Sands (Singapore), etc.;</span></span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;"><span style="font-family: "Arial", "sans-serif"; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman';"><span style="color: white; font-size: large;">17) Crossroads is a common phenomenon. Criss-cross logos (eg. Audi) and criss-cross forms (eg. The Interlace) present alternative manifestations. Burial grounds turn into battlefields. Starhub and Singtel brace themselves for an eventful year. Vincent van Gogh’s “The Starry Night” fetches unprecedented price. Space exploration remains on the agenda;</span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;"><span style="font-family: "Arial", "sans-serif"; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman';"><span style="color: white; font-size: large;">18) Royal families will be hogging headlines. Prince William and Kate Middleton’s royal wedding is already set to be the talk of the year, surpassable only if it brings forth the birth of a prince. Birth rate and the graying population are hot topics.</span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;"><span style="font-family: "Arial", "sans-serif"; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman';"><br /><span style="color: white; font-size: large;">Besides, names (ie. of people, countries, companies, products, etc.) exhibiting the following traits tend to resonate with the 2011 </span></span><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: white;"><i><span style="font-family: "Georgia", "serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman';">Qi</span></i><span style="font-family: "Arial", "sans-serif"; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman';">.

Everyone, everywhere, everything tangible and intangible is subject to its influence, whether willingly or unwillingly, knowingly or unknowingly. In any one year, things resonating with the predominant <em><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Qi</span></em>, directly or indirectly, will tend to manifest. Usually, public figures (esp. politicians, movie stars, sportsmen, religious leaders, etc.) are the immediate ones in its line of fire, since news of these people are inevitably more worthy for headlines, and hence carry greater weight in forming our collective memory of the year.</span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /><span style="font-size: large;"></span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Nonetheless, the manifestations may be for better or for worse, or sometimes for both better and worse! Whichever way the pendulum swings depends very much on what has been going on before. It must be understood that an occurrence is never an independent impromptu incident, but rather the outcome of a string of related incidences, culminating at a time when it resonates with the predominant <span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><em>Qi</em></span>. For instance, a crook may be perpetuating his vices freely seemingly above the laws, but it is only so because his time is not yet due. There will definitely come a time when he resonates with the predominant <em><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Qi</span></em>, and the laws eventually catch up with him. Conversely, an honest businessman may be diligently working his stuff but producing mediocre results. However, when the time comes and he happens to be associated with the predominant <em><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Qi</span></em>, it can jolly well be his breakthrough year. All the hard work prior to this merely strengthens his foundation so he is ready for the big break. Hence, it pays to consistently invest our best efforts at all times for all things. Most importantly, much as we are subject to the pervasive influences of <em><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Qi</span></em>, we still retain our free will to decide and to act. We are afterall master of our own destiny!</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /><span style="font-size: large;"></span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><em><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Qi </span></em>by itself is neutral, there is nothing good or bad about it, it is simply nature. ‘Good’ and ‘bad’ are really just two sides of the same coin, both are equally likely to come by. What we desire we term as ‘good’, what we do not we define as ‘bad’. <span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><em>Feng Shui</em></span> [风水] is simply one of the means to manipulate the probability of either happening. The context in which <em><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Qi</span></em> manifests also plays a part in this regard. Say in nature’s transpiration cycle, rains may bring forth devastating floods where the rivers are congested, but in a drought stricken region, it is god sent. If we take a step back and reflect upon things, ‘bad’ may not be that ‘bad’ afterall for we can learn from our mistakes. On the contrary, ‘good’ may not be ‘good’ at the end of the day if we become complacent and slack.

The numbers at the centre of each palace above the abbreviations represent the 2010 annual chart. As the two charts replicate each other, it may be deduced that whatever happens in 2010 is a generic indicator of the 'currents' underlying Period 8;<br />4) The smaller numbers on both sides of the annual stars are the monthly stars that run vertically, right-to-left, from the 1st to the 12th solar month;<br />5) Generally, the months which coincide with problematic stars, ie. 2, 3, 5 & 7, are the ones which are more prone to issues. Where these problematic stars are the annual star at the main entrance door / bedrooms / kitchen for houses, or main entrance door / directors’ rooms / finance department for commercial premises, it is advisable to put in place some precautionary aversion measures at the respective areas;<br />6) Encoding (ie. for enhancement or aversion) can be carried out at macro-scale (big Tai Ji</em> [大太极]<em>) taking the entire premise into consideration, or at micro-scale (small Tai Ji</em> [小太极]<em>) applying to individual rooms. For houses, living room is a convenient application ground. Nevertheless, you encode only where it is relevant for your own premise, or to suit your specific needs.

It is a star of prosperity [利禄之星], and the most auspicious star in Period 8. It replicates and hence reinforces the Period 8 governing star, so global prosperity can generally be anticipated. We may say that the scent of money permeates the air!<br /><br />However, in the company of the resident 5-Yellow [五黄] catastrophic star, caution and vigilance must still be exercised, esp. when dealing with Middle East countries (eg. Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Iran, Turkey, Afghanistan, Egypt, etc.). Geo-political tensions persist, some may quip since time immemorial, but defiance tends to ease with diplomatic sanctions. People’s economic and financial aspirations are strong, sustaining construction activities.<br /><br />However, buildings in the NE1~SW1 (22.5°-37.5°~202.5°-217.5°) or SE2/3~NW2/3 (127.5°-157.5°~307.5°-337.5°) orientations, if lacking open space or open views in front, or do not have an internal courtyard open to the sky, will tend to encounter hindrances in business and monetary matters. This is due to the imprisonment of the auspicious 8-White Water star [水星入囚].<br /><br /><em><span style="font-family:georgia;">To Encode</span>:<br /></em><br />Introduce reflective elements to release the star at the central palace, eg. mirror-finished stainless steel décor, round mirror, disco light, crystal light, round metallic water feature, reflective pool, etc..<br /><br />Place a black pot of gold coins for better chance at windfall gains.<br /><br /></span></p><p><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQP4WovX3INpSJGYMlMxtOj-arYF5KlwPVYBFJlW7Qg-tGcRIB4TxGsdxlycLeTZpFo7FlNsjtEuCqIfZGxjmQsPObaHdGixAKTX9RkzxdjkwE5cWofJJOq4xR-vd9FvWWwdsfutZ1hFI/s1600-h/New+Picture+(cc).png"><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:130%;"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px;

Arriving in Northwest in 2010, it exerts pressure on the resident 6-White Metal [六白金], accentuated by the double-effect of the annual cum Period 8 flying stars. Restructuring of financial institutions and market corrections are inevitable, no doubt for the better. Sporadic economic disturbances can be expected as a result. There tend to be higher incidences of fire outbreaks, while terrorist attacks are equally possible.<br /><br />Countries like USA, Canada, Greenland, Ireland and UK will be prone to its influences, resulting in tremendous pressure on the respective government. Female politicians will be in better positions to weather such strains. Hence, it is of no surprise that feminine powers rise in Period 8.<br /><br />9-Purple being a celebrative star [喜庆之星] is especially conducive for enhancing the chances of wedding, conception and promotion.

In 2010 it is at Northeast, influencing countries like Japan, Korea, Mongolia, northeastern China and eastern Russia.<br /><br />Its arrival reinforces the presence of the Period 2-Black. Hence, people in these countries have to beware of breast cancer, or of epidemic affecting the digestive system or arising out of animals (esp. cats & cows). Severe thunderstorms and seismic activities, eg. earthquakes, landslides, volcanic eruptions, etc. are also possible. North Korea’s nuclear (dis)armament issue will again hog international headlines.<br /><br />2010<em> <span style="font-family:georgia;">Tai Sui</span></em> [太岁] resides at <span style="font-family:georgia;"><em>Yin</em> </span>palace [寅宫], which is NE3 (52.5°-67.5°). Hence, caution must be taken to avoid ‘offending <span style="font-family:georgia;"><em>Tai Sui</em></span>’ [冲犯太岁] at the northeastern regions, esp. of the capital cities on macro-scale or of buildings on micro-scale, by carrying out construction activities or major celebration parties, or installing mobile devices (eg. fan, aircon, water feature or fish pond).<br /><br /><em><span style="font-family:georgia;">To Encode</span>:<br /><br /></em>Introduce Metal [金] element to exhaust the 2-Black Earth star [二黑土星], eg. 6-rods metal wind chime, 6 ancient Chinese coins, traditional Chinese copper ‘singing’ bowl of water, round bowl of salt water, metal pot of gold coins, metal safe, treasure chest of jewellery, white rounded pebbles, etc.. People in the construction industry are best suited to take advantage of the 2-Black star.<br /><br />It is also good to tap the ‘power’ of <span style="font-family:georgia;"><em>Tai Sui</em></span> by placing a white or gold Japanese Fortune Cat at NE3 sector, coming in from NE3 direction. Ideally, this is also a coin bank with min. two gold coins. Sitting NE3 facing SW3 (232.5°-247.5°) gives the upper hand during negotiations. Nonetheless, it is good to serve drinks during negotiations to minimise conflicts, esp. if you happen to be sitting SW3 facing NE3 instead!<br /><br /></span><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:130%;"></span><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgOxvH1VGxHBQrCGezFWlWZS_rs-4m8ik7nVEhUVM8Fv-TmH1PSL583S3sKvDZuXBxZicnew5XPNSKRgwriOcSxqOcDcjUhHmCkq9qqnh7qjsD3Uarr_3ZuZDPIt5nqGczHnLBFsamP8Vg/s1600-h/New+Picture+(p).png"><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:130%;"><em><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px;

Therefore, Tiger is revered as the <span style="font-family:georgia;"><em>Tai Sui</em></span> [太岁] (Grand Duke or Emperor), taking over the reign from the preceding Ox, and exerting supreme authority over all matters throughout the whole year. However, contrary to common belief, it relates neither to the Gregorian Calendar [阳历] nor to the Lunar Calendar [农历], but rather to the Solar Calendar [节气历]. Hence, only those born between 4 Feb 2010 (0648hrs) and 4 Feb 2011 (1231hrs) are said to be the true Snow Tiger babies.<br /><br />Now, we know that when power changes hand, some heads will roll, some bow into oblivion, some brightened with shining stars. O…iii…O, which are you?<br /><br /></span><span style="font-family:georgia;font-size:130%;color:#993399;"><em>Guidelines:<br />(i) Name of the stars has literal implications, effects on each Animal Zodiac is a generalised indicator;<br />(ii) “Windfall” hints at your chances in betting, but invest at your own risks! In 2010, repeated numbers are prone to appear, esp. 77, 88. Also, the number ‘2’ is likely to transform to ‘7’;<br />(iii) “GTHOW” is abbreviation for “Good To Hang Out With”;<br />(iv) “Birth Year Luck Quotient”, see more stars the merrier…<br />(v) Hang on, ‘good’ or ‘bad’ are just two sides of the same coin, they are both equally likely to come by!

Chinese wisdom likens accompanying the emperor to accompanying a tiger, for you simply have no idea when it will bite [伴君如伴虎]. Incidentally, the <span style="font-family:georgia;"><em>Tai Sui</em></span> this year is really a Snow Tiger!

That Tiger Woods made headlines was not new, that he was specifically poised to make headlines in 2009 was anticipated too, in a metaphysical sense: His name ‘Tiger Woods’ could be literally interpreted as <em><span style="font-family:georgia;">Jia Yin</span></em> [甲寅] - an entire Wood pillar. The predominant 2009 <em><span style="font-family:georgia;">Qi</span></em> [气] was <em><span style="font-family:georgia;">Ji Chou</span></em> [己丑] - an entire Earth pillar, which had a natural tendency to combine with <em><span style="font-family:georgia;">Jia Yin</span></em>, thereby subsuming it totally. The ‘big tree’ collapsed, so to speak.<br /><br />The Tiger Woods saga serves to reinforce the concept of <span style="font-family:georgia;"><em>Qi</em></span> as an omnipotent, omnipresent, universal field. Everyone, everywhere, everything tangible and intangible is subject to its influence, whether willingly or unwillingly, knowingly or unknowingly. In any one year, things resonating with the predominant <em><span style="font-family:georgia;">Qi</span></em>, directly or indirectly, will tend to manifest. Usually, public figures (esp. politicians, movie stars, sportsmen, socialites, religious leaders, etc.) are the immediate ones in its line of fire, since news of these people are considered more worthy for headlines, and hence carry greater weight in forming our collective memory of the year.<br /><br />Nonetheless, the manifestations may be for better or for worse, or sometimes for both better and worse! Whichever way the pendulum swings depends very much on what goes on before. It must be understood that an occurrence is never an independent impromptu incident, but rather the culmination of a string of related incidences, at a time when it resonates with the predominant <em><span style="font-family:georgia;">Qi</span></em>. For instance, a crook may be perpetuating his vices freely seemingly above the laws, but it is only so because his time is not yet due. There will definitely come a time when he resonates with the predominant <em><span style="font-family:georgia;">Qi</span></em>, and the laws eventually catch up with him. Conversely, an honest businessman may be diligently working his stuff but producing mediocre results. However, when the time comes and he happens to be associated with the predominant <em><span style="font-family:georgia;">Qi</span></em>, it can jolly well be his breakthrough year. All the hard work prior to this merely strengthens his foundation so he is ready for the big break. Hence, it pays to consistently invest our best efforts at all times for all things.<br /><br />Most importantly, much as we are subject to the pervasive influences of <em><span style="font-family:georgia;">Qi</span></em>, we retain our free will to decide and to act. We are afterall still our own master of destiny! In the case of Tiger Woods, had he not strayed beyond the golf courses, he could have remembered 2009 merely as a year where he was beaten odds-on-favourite by South Korean Y E Yang at the USPGA Championship, or perhaps, a year where he was downed with bad knee injuries.<br /><br /><em><span style="font-family:georgia;">Qi</span></em> by itself is neutral, there is nothing good or bad about it, it is simply nature. ‘Good’ and ‘bad’ are really just two sides of the same coin, both are equally likely to come by. What we desire we term as ‘good’, what we do not we define as ‘bad’. The context in which <em><span style="font-family:georgia;">Qi </span></em>manifests plays a part in this regard, say in nature’s transpiration cycle, rains may bring forth devastating floods where the rivers are congested, but in a drought stricken region, it is god sent. If we take a step back and reflect upon things, ‘bad’ may not be that ‘bad’ afterall for we can learn from our mistakes. On the contrary, ‘good’ may not be ‘good’ at the end of the day if we become complacent and slack. Our attitude matters.<br /><br />With a positive attitude, let us embark on the journey to decode the predominant <em><span style="font-family:georgia;">Qi</span></em> for 2010 - <em><span style="font-family:georgia;">Geng Yin</span></em> [庚寅], Year Of The Snow Tiger:<br /><br />It arrives on 4th February 2010 at 0648 hours, your local time. Babies born before this are riding on the tail end of the 2009 Plantation Ox, only babies born after this can truly roar. However, babies born on this date, especially if born around this time, tend to carry the traits of both Ox and Tiger. Simply put, they are the ambiguous lot!<br /><br /><em><span style="font-family:georgia;">Geng</span></em> is <em><span style="font-family:georgia;">Yang</span></em> Metal [阳金], representing the West, while<em><span style="font-family:georgia;"> Yin</span></em> is <em><span style="font-family:georgia;">Yang</span></em> Wood [阳木], representing the East. There is a clash between the Heavenly Stem [天干] and the Earthly Branch [地支], the mediating agent Water [水] is missing. The annual star 8-White [八白年星] flies into the central palace, replicating the Period 8 Flying Star Chart [下元八运飞星盘]. These can potentially manifest as the followings, some already taking place during this transition period:<br /><br />1) The scent of money permeates the air, implying economic outlook is generally good as profits are in view and people become more willing to spend. The catch here is that those who experience a ‘bad’ year in 2009 can expect a change to ‘good’ year in 2010. Conversely, those who experience a ‘good’ year before will have to take stock of their expenditure lest there is a need for pay-offs in the second half of the year;<br />2) Conflicts between the upper and lower tiers (ie. between government and its people, companies and their customer base, top management and its subordinates, parents and their children, etc.) will gradually build up resentment if not handled with care, and can result in open defiance towards year end. High profile legal battles involving the two tiers are expected, such as the law suit against OCBC. Recent events indicate that such conflicts can also take on a global front, in the form of diplomatic brushes between USA (West) and China (East) over Google’s accusations. Nevertheless, it is crucial to bear in mind that negotiation is better than confrontation;<br />3) Green movement gains urgency, with more revelations of the environmental impacts of deforestation and stricter controls on the logging industry;<br />4) Water related issues tend to surface, ie. shortage of water, water pollution, new ways to manufacture water, dams, etc.. Perhaps Hyflux’s shares will escalate in view of this tendency. It may also be about ships or water creatures, ie. missing ships, fresh discoveries about sunken ships (eg. Titanic, Noah's Ark), etc.. The recent plankton infestation of 200,000 fish at farms off Pasir Ris testifies to this effect;<br />5) Terrorist activities, esp. involving decapitation of hostages or bio-chemical warfare, may pose a major setback for anti-terrorism campaigns;<br />6) News relating to amputation of limbs / prosthetics, and blindness / sight, or perhaps a remake of the movie “Zatoichi Meets The One Armed Swordsman [独臂刀大战盲侠]” is in the pipeline. It is no wonder that Sandra Bullock is receiving rave reviews for her performance in The Blind Side at this transitory juncture, since her initial ‘S’ resonates with the 2009 Qi, and her last name ‘Bullock’ aptly reifies a <em><span style="font-family:georgia;">Yin-Chou</span></em> (Tiger-Ox) combination (ie. the Bull is being ‘locked’ by the Tiger), while the ‘blind’ in The Blind Side is self-professing;<br />7) Seismic activities, eg. earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, etc., which already caused mass destruction at Haiti, and which will likely wreak further havocs in the Land Of The Rising Sun - Japan, or in other countries in the northeastern or southwestern parts of the world;<br />8) Accidents on the road as well as in the air, esp. if the vehicle alludes to tiger or the cat family. On the brighter side of things, John Woo is planning a new movie based on the Flying Tigers, while Tiger Airways reportedly had a roaring good start with their IPO launch;<br />9) More awareness about the exploitation or endangerment of cats, ie. tigers, lions, etc.;<br />10) Troubles in Thailand, or involving Thai girls;<br />11) Special news of Mother Teresa, Sai Baba, Mama Lauren or religious figures associated with the fatherly or motherly connotations, or even of things associated with the legendary Ali Baba;<br />12) Religious conflicts or discoveries. Malaysia already got a taste of it with the ‘Allah’ issue leading to arson attacks on churches. If not resolved sensitively and sensibly, it may escalate into ethnic-political unrests in the region;<br />13) Rekindled interests in Baba Nyonya culture, the Japanese manga - Totoro, the ancient Chinese scholar <em><span style="font-family:georgia;">Tang Bo Hu</span></em> [唐伯虎], and Marcel Duchamp’s cubist painting “Nude Descending A Staircase, No.2”;<br />14) Health alerts relating to digestive systems (eg. spleen, stomach, intestines), liver hardening, kidney / gall stones, breast cancer, and nervous system;<br />15) Higher incidence of or news reporting on multiple births, eg. twins, quadruplets, etc.. Such multiplicity may also manifest geographically or architecturally, ie. as twin peaks or twin towers / ‘split’ buildings, eg. Petronas Twin Towers (Kuala Lumpur), Ren Building (Shanghai), Marina Bay Sands (Singapore), etc.. Interestingly, Dr M also started blabbering about ‘911’;<br />16) UFO sightings, possibly above rainforests.<br /><br />Besides, names (ie. of people, countries, companies, products, etc.) exhibiting the following qualities tend to resonate with the 2010 <em><span style="font-family:georgia;">Qi</span></em>. Hence, they will have a higher chance of experiencing 2010 as a more eventful or impactful year, for better or for worse:<br /><br />a) Initials ‘J’ & ‘T’, esp. if repeated. In this regard, somehow the demise of Johnson & Johnson heiress, Casey Johnson, who was also reportedly engaged to Tila Tequila, uncannily coincided with the arrival of 2010. Meanwhile, Japan Airlines has filed for bankruptcy, and Jon Bon Jovi is expected to attract more limelight;<br />b) Repeated initials, shapes, syllables or alphabets, esp. ‘BB’, ‘MM’ & ‘AA’, eg. AIA, Coca-Cola, Coco, Audi’s logo, etc.. Ben Bernanke, Chairman of the US Federal Reserve, will have to tread his grounds with extra caution;<br />c) Repeated numbers, esp. ‘7’ & ‘8’. As exemplified by the events in 2009, numerical repetitions may manifest in terms of age, ie. people who are 77, 88, 33, … years old. As if to signify this, Iskandar Ismail - Sultan Of Johor passed away recently at age 77. In the context of shapes, Four Leaves’ logo design appears like a joined, inverted ‘88’. For punters, the number ‘2’ has a tendency to transform to ‘7’;<br />d) English names or Chinese characters relating directly or indirectly to Wood or Tiger (esp. if the Water element is lacking) tend to face more challenges, ie. Tiger, Woods, Forrest, Bush, Thunder, Timber, Flora, Net, Cage, 菲,梅,林,陈,森,树,柳,茆,震,雷,苟,桦,虎,etc.;<br />e) Chinese names with dual, repetitive, split or striped characters, eg. 陶喆,王菲,成龙,晶晶,朋,森,林,柳,茆,王,羽,毛,川,大,etc..<br /><br />In terms of industry performance, it is often difficult to pin-point which is more profitable, as profitability really depends much on individual’s business acumen. Moreover, it is also difficult to assign a single element to a particular industry since industries are quite often a combination of elements. Where stocks are concerned, our personal favourable elements remain a reliable source of inspiration. Nevertheless, there are still certain perceivable metaphysical traits which may be taken as an alternative guide while considering decisions. For instance in 2010:<br /><br />Opportunities are aplenty for the Metal [金] industries, ie. legal profession, banking, finance, pharmaceutical research & development, surgery, insurance, jewelry, hardware, gold, silver, precious stone mining, machinery, etc.. However, such positive outlook may be destabilized if the pursuit and management of wealth is forced and uncontrolled, or if the money involved is exceedingly huge. Hence, it is important to garner the necessary support before executing your business plans, bearing in mind consultation and negotiation are the keys to success. Related colours are white, gold, silver, or other shiny metallic hues; related forms circular & spherical.<br /><br />Fire [火] industries, though not dominantly featured, may still offer some pleasant surprises. These include information technology, internet, electronics, entertainment, lighting, recreation, airline, fashion, automobile, photography, energy (electricity, oil, gas, coal), etc.. Related colours are orange, red, pink, purple or other bright colourful hues; related forms vertically triangular & pyramidal.<br /><br />Water [水] industries tend to thrive since Water is the most critical element for 2010. These include tourism, shipping, beverages, seafood, fish farming, aquarium, pornography, etc.. Related colours are blue & black; related forms wavy & fluid. However, extra vigilance will be necessary as 2010 is a year where Water related things tend to go missing. Hence, on the side of caution, it is advisable to invest more in insurances for various coverages, esp. if the business involves the northeastern and southwestern parts of the world.<br /><br />Earth [土] industries will be experiencing a busy year. Unfortunately, work there is, but money does not come by easily. Therefore, it is important to ascertain your scope of work and the remunerations before commencement, lest your efforts are put to waste. Emotional frustrations must be kept in check, and court cases to be avoided. Earth industries include construction, property, Feng Shui [风水], cosmetics, food (esp. flour & meat), pottery, hospitality, etc.. Related colours are yellow, brown, or other earthen hues; related forms squarish, cuboid & castellated.<br /><br />Wood [木] industries look set to suffer in 2010. Fortunately, not all is lost provided strategic synergy can be established with Water industries or the Water element can be somehow introduced. Wood industries include education, printing, arts, publishing, textile, Chinese medicine, furniture, logging, landscaping, agriculture, vegetarian food, etc.. Related colours are green & jade; related forms vertically upright & elongated.<br /><br />Now, according to Chinese calendars (mapping both solar & lunar), 2010 Year Of The Snow Tiger is regarded as a Blind Year since there is no <em><span style="font-family:georgia;">Li Chun</span></em> [立春] (Arrival Of Spring) within the lunar year (ie. 14.02.10 - 02.02.11). Hence, it is said to carry a special message: For the mature and single - high time to act blind and tie the knot, age very different also ‘<em><span style="font-family:georgia;">boleh</span></em>’ (‘can’ in Malay), not ‘<em><span style="font-family:georgia;">bo-</span><span style="font-family:georgia;">leh</span></em>’ (‘don’t have’ in Hokkien). As Hokkiens will have it, <em><span style="font-family:georgia;">mai hiam buoy pai lah</span></em> (don’t pick, it’s not that bad afterall)! For the rest of us, shut our eyes for a moment and we’ll see a whole new world of perfect people! </span></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7473291073538659761.post-92093340512827438062009-02-05T17:51:00.000+08:002011-07-24T18:21:16.090+08:00OX-picious 2009 ...<div align="justify"><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:130%;">Whilst memories of <em><span style="font-family:georgia;">Wu Zi</span></em> [戊子] remain fresh and its repercussions can still be felt throughout the usual transition period (21 Dec 2008 - 3 Feb 2009), the incumbent 2009 <em><span style="font-family:georgia;">Ji Chou </span></em>[己丑] can potentially bring forth ramifications as follows, or their associations: </span><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:130%;"><br /></div></span><p align="justify"><br /></p><div align="justify"></div><p align="justify"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh0NXSDTqBOUCBNURg0UvqmBI2Tgz8BNRP_TjOd5guBMmen4C48F2G5fmmDtBYu4KWmyvIqPb0WsxQ8nm3FMhSdo13eE0FYKiapvvftgTGDSI4d9thvUaWEWwVtQ7ISzKPeeEZmh0JyHx4/s1600-h/New+Picture+(2).bmp"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5299257893296146082" style="FLOAT: left;

In fact, the Plantation Ox (2009 <em><span style="font-family:georgia;">Ji Chou</span></em> [己丑]) had already begun ploughing its way into our collective experiences since last December, or some argued even earlier coinciding with the downfall of Lehman Brothers.<br /><br />The 2008 <span style="font-family:georgia;"><em>Wu Zi</em></span> energy was essentially characterized by “mountain on water”. Water being a reflective medium will naturally invert the image of the mountain, thereby implying the progression from peak to valley as the second half of the year arrived. And what trail of upheavals <span style="font-family:georgia;"><em>Wu Zi</em></span> had left behind, what metaphysical potencies it had revealed, what lessons it had enunciated! Amongst its multi-faceted effectuations, one thing emerged prominently was its association with the alphabets ‘<strong>M</strong>’ & ‘<strong>A</strong>’- the peak, and ‘<strong>W</strong>’ & ‘<strong>V</strong>’ - the valley.<br /><br />Indeed, some of the most widely remembered events or people in 2008 all bore uncanny resemblances by carrying these initials, eg. the avalanche of troubles caused by the all-important <strong>M</strong>oney, the Chinese tragedies arising out of <strong>M</strong>elamine in <strong>M</strong>ilk, the onslaught of Cyclone Nargis in <strong>M</strong>yanmar, <strong>A</strong>lan Greenspan being relegated from <strong>M</strong>aestro to Bubble, BO<strong>A</strong>’s acquisition of <strong>M</strong>errill Lynch, the bombing of <strong>M</strong>arriot Hotel in Islamabad, terrorist attacks at Taj <strong>M</strong>ahal Hotel in <strong>M</strong>umbai, closing of <strong>W</strong>oolworth’s Superstore, stampede at <strong>W</strong>al-<strong>M</strong>art, <strong>M</strong>adoff Investment Securities’ fraud scandal, terror suspect <strong>M</strong>as Selamat’s embarrassing escape, billionaire <strong>A</strong>dolf <strong>M</strong>erckle’s suicide & his company <strong>V</strong>E<strong>M</strong>’s reported loss of three-digit million euros on <strong>VW</strong> stock, etc. etc..<br /><br />On a lighter note, <em><span style="font-family:georgia;">Wu Zi</span></em> also witnessed the Olympic successes of <strong>M</strong>ichael Phelps & his subsequent disgrace from smoking <strong>M</strong>arijuana, <strong>M</strong>adonna the <strong>M</strong>aterial Girl’s long prophesized divorce, <strong>M</strong>ichael Jackson aka <strong>W</strong>acko Jacko’s perpetual legal woes, Dr <strong>M</strong>‘s (<strong>M</strong>ahathir <strong>M</strong>ohamad) political antics, <strong>M</strong>oney Not Enough 2’s mockery of the ERP gantries, the timely release of <strong>W</strong> - the docudrama on George <strong>W</strong> Bush, etc. etc..<br /><br />To an informed eye, perhaps the Batman movie poster revealed it all:<br /></span></div><br /><p><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:130%;"></span></p><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEijgSe49c2PStDKNHNEN1zWlbVvj2yKGSR5SxzNJWVoCSyg8C_KV9ev9xw5Hv5FqXkANmYD_BuV16q4WqGDBKbbh0mOK83GPudmmF0myfWnlfY9jtpfYBOnVZYYR0wxbMeatAjeBFSqt38/s1600-h/MPW-34547.jpg"><span style="font-family:arial;"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5298879430475014114" style="FLOAT: left;

Whilst the news rocked our mortal world, I woke to the realization that we had again stepped into a period of intense activities and exchanges, transiting from one solar year to another. It typically stretches from Winter Solstice (22 Dec 2007) till the Arrival Of Spring (4 Feb 2008, start of the new solar year). It is a time when the old <em><span style="font-family:georgia;">Qi</span></em> (energy field) is making its final calls, and the new <em><span style="font-family:georgia;">Qi</span></em> is forcing itself into the picture. In this case, the <span style="font-family:georgia;"><em>Qi</em></span>’s are none other than <em><span style="font-family:georgia;">Ding Hai</span></em> (2007 Fire Pig) and <em><span style="font-family:georgia;">Wu Zi</span></em> (2008 Earth Rat).<br /><br />Tune in to the news, we will inevitably be treated to an energized array of <em><span style="font-family:georgia;">Ding Hai</span></em> manifestations, amidst sporadic occurrences pertinent to <em><span style="font-family:georgia;">Wu Zi</span></em>. Take for instance, tragedy struck when Benazir Bhutto was waving to her supporters from atop her vehicle after an election rally. She was reportedly shot, and later killed by an ensuing suicide bomb. It was reminiscent of the explosive implications of <em><span style="font-family:georgia;">Ding Hai</span></em>, evident also through the Virginia Tech massacre, Red Mosque siege, Islamic insurgency in the Philippines, etc..<br /><br />Closer to home in Singapore, a MRT service disruption, worst since it started operation in 1988, stranded some 57,000 commuters in the morning working hours of 22 Jan 2008. And train related issues are one likely outcome of a <em><span style="font-family:georgia;">Si-Hai</span></em> (Snake-Pig) clash, besides its more adverse materialization by way of accidents, such as the myriad plane crashes and train mishaps throughout 2007. Perhaps, Boeing’s premier of its 787 Dreamliner, decidedly on July 8 ’07, provided an alternative outlet in a celebrative mood. And France ramified by becoming the first country to disclose its UFO files when its national space agency unveiled a website documenting more than 1,600 sightings spanning five decades.<br /><br />Jay Chou legitimized 2007’s Arrival Of Spring premonitions by winning acclaims for his directorial and acting efforts in “Secret”, just as the inspirational film / book “The Secret” made its way into our local news while apparently attracting worldwide interests. Then, a popularity poll unearthed the new Seven Wonders Of The World, albeit without official recognition from UNESCO.<br /><br />More enticing to me though, is a YouTube video entitled “Battle At Kruger”</span><span style="font-size:130%;">. Amongst the multiple feats it garners, what is worthy of mention in the metaphysical sense is its revelation of the potency of <em><span style="font-family:georgia;">Ding Hai</span></em>. As the principles of the <span style="font-family:georgia;"><em>5</em></span>-<em><span style="font-family:georgia;">Elements</span></em> will have it, <em><span style="font-family:georgia;">Ding Hai</span></em> is a conflicting relationship of <em><span style="font-family:georgia;">Hai</span></em> (Water) engulfing <em><span style="font-family:georgia;">Ding</span></em> (Fire). However, hidden within <em><span style="font-family:georgia;">Hai</span></em> are the attributes <em><span style="font-family:georgia;">Jia</span></em> (Wood) and <em><span style="font-family:georgia;">Ren</span></em> (Water), itself the imagery of timber logs floating on water. <em><span style="font-family:georgia;">Ren</span></em> combines with <em><span style="font-family:georgia;">Ding </span></em>to yield the element Wood, which produces and hence saves the Fire from extinguishing. Pursuant to the subject video, <em><span style="font-family:georgia;">Ding </span></em>manifests as the buffalo with two horns, <em><span style="font-family:georgia;">Hai</span></em> as the lions which are purportedly king of the jungle (because <em><span style="font-family:georgia;">Hai</span></em> resides in the <em><span style="font-family:georgia;">Qian</span></em> trigram, which represents kingship). Now, crocodiles floating on water concurs with the imagery conjured by the hidden attributes of <em><span style="font-family:georgia;">Hai</span></em>. When the crocodiles emerge from the water in a tug-of-war with the preying lions, it manifests the combination of <em><span style="font-family:georgia;">Ren</span></em> and <em><span style="font-family:georgia;">Ding</span></em> to become Wood, thereby resurrecting <em><span style="font-family:georgia;">Ding</span></em>, the buffalo!<br /></div></span></span><span style="font-family:arial;"><div align="justify"><br /></div></span><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiO7DIlfbRfGDar_FIObQ-1J3if4CD9uPcDXmQpotKGUPe45ehyphenhyphenRVub1xIlOwfXS1CjPJNOEw8wmEnMSr3AMFNE_Qr4OKfFe01NbQ7T9X2n74hmgGHOBoAiJAmgRpHHJV7bwMrJDs3xBNk/s1600-h/New+Picture.png"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5163781591141139314" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiO7DIlfbRfGDar_FIObQ-1J3if4CD9uPcDXmQpotKGUPe45ehyphenhyphenRVub1xIlOwfXS1CjPJNOEw8wmEnMSr3AMFNE_Qr4OKfFe01NbQ7T9X2n74hmgGHOBoAiJAmgRpHHJV7bwMrJDs3xBNk/s200/New+Picture.png" border="0" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgyKoDp5cq2e18MK7MxqnE4IA9uIULoQR0XfKMH_Eg096rJVu5xKR5i-uDF6y6S3a82faTvd3i-ZTqQDl7RiUlp1EFcj9i-Foznrqbtv6j_5zwiMqzF8hyphenhyphenLgMsDpPtsgo0WGvRGTQnVDvg/s1600-h/New+Picture+(1).png"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5163781754349896578" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgyKoDp5cq2e18MK7MxqnE4IA9uIULoQR0XfKMH_Eg096rJVu5xKR5i-uDF6y6S3a82faTvd3i-ZTqQDl7RiUlp1EFcj9i-Foznrqbtv6j_5zwiMqzF8hyphenhyphenLgMsDpPtsgo0WGvRGTQnVDvg/s200/New+Picture+(1).png" border="0" /></a><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5163782097947280274" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPMi6L47TggMtPuskWqMCfynHvKeIx8UEF11stxrdQ2vIwBugVgsLysMgqbW5HxZuFmBmWRD4Gwh4rTkO9cvKJfLrVzs0iClALemxuEDI6YPqPzZW5_y40Q7_xLK3OcCByeBYZnqLzxL4/s200/New+Picture+(2).png" border="0" /> <div align="justify"><span style="font-family:arial;"></span></div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiXWPXjCRmJ9IJ2QPr5HirgxhUulb4RCfKHur7Qm6raUTUagUGAQ4zRknsqpUSh7vnE3mJ5OiAUzkF9mcWrdcBeQxjovGK-sh0VGVXeocoxobVC2RCRNIcrjelNw2SjIVsSNSktlzyzm_I/s1600-h/New+Picture+(1).png"></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXqDfgfURjbDU9jZuHCjoSt0OtaB6phd37WtkrGef66_c9MkBe0A5DmNXwP0Yhe2cyg7tBpLliGQ4_o294jxmZxc3S0ZI3sw9p1eZk6EboxEFgr8pnjph9zcO1edDTxVRSBSzTU_mf-6c/s1600-h/New+Picture+(3).png"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5163782192436560802" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXqDfgfURjbDU9jZuHCjoSt0OtaB6phd37WtkrGef66_c9MkBe0A5DmNXwP0Yhe2cyg7tBpLliGQ4_o294jxmZxc3S0ZI3sw9p1eZk6EboxEFgr8pnjph9zcO1edDTxVRSBSzTU_mf-6c/s200/New+Picture+(3).png" border="0" /></a> <div align="justify"><span style="font-family:arial;"></span></div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjfD7aCk_aXxyu446RHYC2_9tA-uLj2U_4doReg3kJzOQSK3HDumJQAFH2ZyWWmrgMiPb66ZtjF5K40AgBauObJB_-szdNVmErj6GyiHrnotZTsh0xWHL-j5EYtBew2Mfklucs3twyOicw/s1600-h/New+Picture+(2).png"></a><div align="justify"><span style="font-family:arial;"></span></div><span style="font-family:arial;"><span style="font-size:130%;"><div align="justify"><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /></div><div align="justify"></div><div align="justify"></div><div align="justify"></div><div align="justify"></div><div align="justify"></div><div align="justify"></div><div align="justify"></div><div align="justify"></div><div align="justify"></div><div align="justify"></div><div align="justify"></div><div align="justify"></div><div align="justify"></div><div align="justify"></div><div align="justify"></div><div align="justify"></div><div align="justify"></div><div align="justify"></div><div align="justify"></div><div align="justify"></div><div align="justify"><br /><br /><br /><br />(<a href="http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=2498595717353124774&q=genre%3Anature+is%3Afree">http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=2498595717353124774&q=genre%3Anature+is%3Afree</a>)</div><div align="justify"></div><div align="justify"></div><div align="justify"></div><div align="justify"><br />The video was originally filmed in September 2004, but only uploaded to YouTube in 2007. It is noteworthy that 2007 was a Monkey (<em><span style="font-family:georgia;">Shen</span></em>) year, which has a relation with Pig (<em><span style="font-family:georgia;">Hai</span></em>), perhaps the best reason for its gaining attention.<br /><br />Nonetheless, the message here is clear: Things assuming prominence under the influence of a particular <em><span style="font-family:georgia;">Qi</span></em> may have taken place much earlier, only to re-surface out of oblivion when the time is right. As the saying goes, what goes round comes round!<br /><br />On the other hand, 2008 literally started with a ‘bang’, at least for citizens of Malaysia. Their then Health Minister, Dr Chua Soi Lek, made headlines after an indecent exposure in a raunchy video. Dangerous liaisons may have been a dominant trait of <em><span style="font-family:georgia;">Ding Hai</span></em>, but during this transition period, it definitely also mirrors the likely effects of <em><span style="font-family:georgia;">Wu Zi</span></em>. As we already know by now, in this respect, <em><span style="font-family:georgia;">Wu Zi</span></em> is a year littered with threats of video or internet exposure of sexual escapades. Lesson thus learnt: Never the same hotel, never the same room, and reason enough for some, never the same girl! Hong Kong heartthrob Edison Chen will be eager to add another word of advice: Never save on replacing your spoilt laptop…<br /><br />For better or worst, things associated with the predominant <em><span style="font-family:georgia;">Qi</span></em> will stand a better chance of gaining prominence during its reign. And often, public persona, esp. political figures and movie stars, tend to be the chosen ones representing it, since their actions and demeanor is subject to scrutiny, will be widely recognized and remembered, and hence, can be conveniently used to characterize an era.</span></span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:130%;">As this transition period does not merely continue the ramifications of the old <em><span style="font-family:georgia;">Qi</span></em>, but also informs about the imminent new <em><span style="font-family:georgia;">Qi</span></em>, we revere that the passing of Everest hero Sir Edmund Hillary and Brokeback Mountain star Heath Ledger have inaugurated the onslaught of <em><span style="font-family:georgia;">Wu Zi</span></em>, year of the Mountain Rat 2008!</span></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7473291073538659761.post-91400026018505498572007-11-06T20:51:00.000+08:002011-07-24T18:21:16.091+08:00HE Speaks<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEid_NY6jgQOiFEPTfHwM9SB9FP7jIjmBLa-eXVEt-Buk6pRhBQjSgcUU_b-sbcKNcDo2PqRtm-fJy9fUvsmT9GXEv7tTz5fXkK0FY4B5vd-iyjf0OyewHe6UW9LVkM0O1GbVgmy-MEM4Qo/s1600-h/CIMG4754.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5129749798063885442" style="FLOAT: left;

Some estimate he makes US$250/sec, that’s an average Joe’s eon hours of work! Gosh, is he alien or is he man? Since he first landed on 1955-10-28 at 10pm, the Orient will decode it as such:</span></span></span></div><div align="justify"><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:130%;"></span> </div><div align="justify"><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;font-size:130%;"></span></div><div align="justify"><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;"></span></div><div align="justify"><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"></span></div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5127340256986318338" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhBZXIvzZWJ_6Jw3nCEd2qXBYKIA_jq37GqEGlJEK4BFBV9y3ZgMTFN7nm9UpZBZ8JOMN1WFiYxFa2bpTCpb4lGjSjzOlxfHkYFpccukskkxR5g3FBmDL1myw90CMxld9-3UTZuiBzB15w/s320/New+Picture+(1).bmp" border="0" /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div align="justify"><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"><span style="font-family:georgia;"><em>Ba Zi</em></span> <span style="font-family:arial;">(birth chart) and macro-luck cycles of Bill Gates<br /></span><br /></span><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:130%;">Bill’s a <em><span style="font-family:georgia;">Ren</span></em> (<em><span style="font-family:georgia;">Yang Water</span></em>) person, born in the 9th, <em><span style="font-family:georgia;">Yang Earth</span></em> solar month. Superficially, his <em><span style="font-family:georgia;">Water</span></em> life element appears extremely weak, sitting on <em><span style="font-family:georgia;">Earth</span></em> elements which will tend to attack it. There is no trace of any supportive root of <em><span style="font-family:georgia;">Water</span></em> in the <em><span style="font-family:georgia;">Earthly Branches</span></em>, and no other company amongst the <em><span style="font-family:georgia;">Heavenly Stems</span></em>. In other words, Bill’s <em><span style="font-family:georgia;">Ren Water</span></em> is totally alone, its very survival endangered.<br /><br />On closer scrutiny, there exists a thread of hope: (i) the <em><span style="font-family:georgia;">Wood Year-Stem</span></em> assists to control the suppressive forces of the<span style="font-family:georgia;"> <em>Earth Branches</em></span>; (ii) an immediately adjacent <em><span style="font-family:georgia;">Metal Hour-Stem</span></em> negotiates the conflict between the <em><span style="font-family:georgia;">Earth Branches</span></em> and the <em><span style="font-family:georgia;">Ren Water</span></em> life element. The result is an<span style="font-family:georgia;"> <em>Earth-Metal-Water-Wood-Fire-Earth</em></span> productive cycle, which literally breathes life into the chart! This satisfies its first criterion for survival. The second criterion appears in the 10-year macro-luck cycles, which provide him with the much needed <em><span style="font-family:georgia;">Metal</span> </em>and <span style="font-family:georgia;"><em>Water</em> </span>elements.<br /><br />Now, Bill’s <em><span style="font-family:georgia;">Ba Zi</span></em> displays another interesting phenomenon, that is, all the five elements are present, with the<em> <span style="font-family:georgia;">Earth</span></em><span style="font-family:georgia;"> </span>element dominating and forming the entire base structure of the chart. As <em><span style="font-family:georgia;">Earth</span></em> is often considered catchment or burial ground, the respective elements existing as <em><span style="font-family:georgia;">Heavenly Stems</span></em> allude to an emergence out of the ground, revealing true natures. The Chinese coins a term for it: <em><span style="font-family:georgia;">Chu Tou</span></em> (lift up one’s head), implying accomplishment or achievement. The clear distinction between these elements and the<em> <span style="font-family:georgia;">Earth</span></em><span style="font-family:georgia;"> </span>catapults Bill’s<span style="font-family:georgia;"> <em>Ba Zi</em></span> to a higher stratosphere, where he stands to gain what those elements represent: <em><span style="font-family:georgia;">Metal</span></em> - status, <em><span style="font-family:georgia;">Wood</span> </em>- creativity, <em><span style="font-family:georgia;">Fire</span> </em>- wealth.<br /><br />And for Bill, wealth comes in abundance. Why? Because he has three catchments of <em><span style="font-family:georgia;">Fire</span></em>, the <em><span style="font-family:georgia;">Dogs</span></em>! Even his<span style="font-family:georgia;"> <em>Year-Branch</em></span>, the zodiac sign of <em><span style="font-family:georgia;">Goat</span></em>, has a hidden root of <em><span style="font-family:georgia;">Fire </span></em>(wealth). Of course, the nature of his wealth as indicated by the <em><span style="font-family:georgia;">Yang Fire</span> <span style="font-family:georgia;">Month-Stem</span></em>, is that of the unconventional type (<em><span style="font-family:georgia;">Pian Cai</span></em>), which usually manifests in larger quantities as compared to the conventional type.<br /><br />It may be worthy to note also that<span style="font-family:georgia;"> <em>Geng Xu</em></span>, residing in his <em><span style="font-family:georgia;">Hour Pillar</span></em>, is a formation known as<span style="font-family:georgia;"> <em>Kui Gang</em></span>. <em><span style="font-family:georgia;">Geng</span></em> is <em><span style="font-family:georgia;">Yang Metal</span></em>, an element that is critically useful to Bill’s weak <span style="font-family:georgia;"><em>Water</em> </span>life element. As the <em><span style="font-family:georgia;">Hour Pillar</span></em> is a person’s career palace, having a useful element there will tend to favour his career. In Bill’s case, it is further accentuated by the special<span style="font-family:georgia;"> <em>Kui Gang</em></span> formation, which manifests as his extraordinary charisma, business savvy and achievements at work.<br /><br />But aye, I’m just an average Joe aiming for a break. I’ve got no special formation of our legendary Gates, only <em><span style="font-family:georgia;">Water</span></em> life element though quite unlike that of his <em><span style="font-family:georgia;">Day</span></em>’s. Oh, perhaps I can keep three dogs to make up for the lack. Perhaps, perhaps, perhaps…</span></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0
