When can we say goodbye to COVID-19?

It has been 2 years since COVID-19 shows up and makes our lives miserable.  Most of us want to know when we can return to our normal routine.  Here is a non-scientific prediction based on elementary Chinese metaphysics.

If you have no patience to read all the jargons and arguments, skip to the red boldfaced paragraph below to see the conclusions.

PREDICTION BASED ON CHINESE CALENDAR AND 5-ELEMENTS THEORY

Chinese calendar is based on a 60-years cycle.  Each year is assigned a "stem" and "branch" with its 5-elements nature.  "5 elements" refer to the interplay between metal, wood, water, fire and earth energies.  Chinese metaphysics believes all living things are controlled by this interplay of 5-elements energies.

In Chinese metaphysics, COVID-19, a respiratory disease, is represented by metal and water elements.  Below is a rough year-by-year 5-elements analysis:

  • 2019 is Ji-hai year or earth-water in 5-elements theory.  It means this year was dominated by earth and water energies.  This year had provided a favorable environment for COVID-19 to spread.
  • 2020 is Geng-zi year or metal-water in nature.   It means this year was dominated by metal and water energies which were extremely favorable to the spreading of COVID-19. 
  • 2021 is Xin-chou year or metal-earth in nature.  Earth nourishes or produces metal in 5-elements theory.  It means this year is dominated by strong metal energy.  Metal stands for respiratory organs like lungs.
How about 2022?  Could it be the end of COVID-19?
  • 2022 is Ren-yin year or water-wood in nature.  Water energy is still strong in this year.  So COVID-19 is likely not retreating.
  • 2023 is Gui-mao year or water-wood in nature.  Gui-water is "yin" (as in yin-yang) water.  It is the "yin-est" branch element and associated with dirty water and sickness.  From this alone, I predict COVID-19 will be still around with us in 2023.
  • 2024 is Jia-chen year or wood-earth in nature.  No water or metal element to flame the virus in this year.  Therefore,  I guess COVID-19 will finally be over or at the least under control in this year.
  • 2025 is Yi-si year or or wood-earth in 5-elements theory.  No water or metal element in this year.  

PREDICTION BASED ON "EARTH MOTHER CLASSIC"

I have checked "Earth Mother Classic" (地母經) To find supporting material for my analysis.  This ancient classic contains 60 predictions in poem form for the 60 years cycle of the Chinese calendar.  It was first known in 1883.  The contents was allegedly transmitted from the Earth Mother Goddess to the public through a psychic medium during divinations in her Shan Xi province temple ( 陝西漢中府城固縣之地母廟飛鸞傳經 ).  It makes annual predictions about agriculture, horticulture, aquaculture, silkworms, pests, pandemic, weather, human and natural disasters.  Annual predictions are put in the first page of each year's Chinese Almanac (see 2022 predictions in Chinese here).  

For 2020, "Earth Mother Classic" had predicted "many citizens meet sudden deaths" ( 人民多暴卒 ) and mass burials (山頭起墓田).

For 2021, this Classic had predicted "Diseases have tampered off slightly " ( 疾病稍紛紛 ).  "People recover gradually"  (人民漸蘇息 ).  "Epidemic shrinks back gradually among livestock"  (六畜瘴逡巡).  "Only half of the people survived"  (人民留一半).  The last prediction does not mean half of humanity had died but "a large number of people had perished".  In reality over 5.4 million people had perished globally since COVID-19 appeared (as of end of 2021).

For 2022this Classic had predicted rising prices or inflation in modern terms (桑葉不堪貴).  "Though people are happy and prosperous,  (人民雖富樂 )  livestock suffer serious mishaps" ( 六畜盡遭凶 ).  The last one may be interpreted as infectious disease originated from livestock got transmitted to human (bird flu is found in Israel at end of 2021).

For 2023this Classic had predicted "people suffer numerous diseases " ( 人民多疾病 ). "Rampant epidemic arise among livestock"  (六畜瘴煙起 ) and inflation will be here  (桑葉雖然貴).  This implies the epidemic will still be around in 2023.

Earth Mother Classic has made quite accurate predictions for year 2020 and 2021.  There are no predictions about epidemic and diseases for year 2024 and 2025 in the Classic except inflation will still be high in these 2 years.

Based on my "5-elements analysis" of the years above and "Earth Mother Classic" predictions,  I conclude COVID-19 may not subside until year 2024.  2022 and 2023 do not look optimistic.

Original Chinese text of Earth Mother Classic is posted in the Appendix below.

You could check global statistics on COVID-19 from this link to WHO:

WHO Coronavirus (COVID-19) Dashboard | WHO Coronavirus (COVID-19) Dashboard With Vaccination Data

WHO's statistics have scared me and driven me to take two jabs of Pfizer vaccine and a Moderna booster shot.  (Please consult your doctor before taking your shots, esp. if you have any heart condition).

Keep Safe and Happy New Year!

When will one get married? 婚缘何时到

When your Bazi chart runs into any one or more of the following scenarios, one will have a high probability of getting hitched or married:

  1. When annual luck clashing your spouse palace (day-branch)
  2. When annual luck combining with your spouse palace (day-branch)
  3. When annual luck combining two of your chart branches to form 3-unities combination (San-he)
  4. When annual luck stem combining with your day stem
  5. When annual luck bringing a wealth star (zheng-cai/ pian-cai) for male or a power star (zheng-guan/ qi-sha) for female
  6. When annual luck is your "peach-blossom" star  (you for shen, zi and chen day/ year branch;  wu for si, you and chou day/ year;  mao for yin, wu and xu day/ year; zi for hai, mao and wei)

While any one of the above could get you married, but for people with "difficult to marry" Bazi charts may need to fulfill two or more of the above conditions to get into the marriage chapel.

"Ken, what should I do if I have already married?"

You better reserve a high power divorce attorney OR be a good little boy/ girl and avoid interactions with opposite sex for the year.

If #1 to 5 of the above showing up in your spouse's chart--- you better keep an eye on his/ her whereabouts and activities during that luck period.

If you want to know the logic behind the above conditions, please take this:

Prediction of clashing day and hour pillar 命局日时天克地冲

What is the prediction for a natal chart with clashing or fan-yin of day and hour pillar?
This person is prone to injury and disability.

Usually in Bazi, a chart with a single Jia-wood or Ding-fire denotes disability.

Why this day and hour pillar fan-yin is likely showing disability?  This is not easy to explain from Bazi theory other than basing on chart-reading experience.

Below are the pairs of day and hour pillars fan-yin to each other:
  • Jia-zi day and geng-wu hour
  • Wu-chen day and ren-xu hour
  • Ji-si day and yi-hai hour
  • Geng-wu day and bing-zi hour
  • Jia-xu-day and geng-chen hour
  • Yi-hai day and xin-si hour
  • Ji-mao day and gui-you hour
  • Geng-chen day and bing-xu hour
  • Yi-you day and ji-mao hour
  • Bing-xu day and ren-chen hour
  • Geng-yin day and jia-shen hour
  • Xin-mao day and ding-you hour
  • Bing-shen day and geng-yin hour
  • Ding-yin day and gui-mao hour
  • Xin-chou day and yi-wei hour
  • Ren-yin day and wu-shen hour
  • Ding-wei day and xin-chou hour
  • Ren-zi day and bing-wu hour
  • Gui-chou day and ji-wei hour
  • Ding-si day and xin-hai hour
  • Ji-wei day and yi-chou hour
  • Gui-hai day and ding-si hour
The prediction of the disability type depends on the elemental clashes involved.  But at the least, an injury had occurred with scars left behind on the body of the chart owner.  So from now on, when you see a chart with day and hour pillar fan-yin, you can ask the client if s/he has some sort of disability or at the least, scars due to injury.

Daily Wealth Position 每天发财方位

There are 3 types of wealth positions:   Fixed wealth position based on house Feng Shui, annual wealth position based on the 9-stars and daily wealth position based on the heavenly stem of the day.

This article shows you how to find the daily wealth position to enhance your wealth luck by sitting in that position.

First log in bazi-calculator.com to find the heavenly stem of the date you want by typing in your target date.  The default shows the current date, for example, today's chart is shown in the right side here (Nov. 2, 2021).

The first cell of  second column shows the heavenly stem of the day, which is "Jia".  Then you check the table here for the daily wealth position.

From the table, Jia day's wealth position is in the northeast.  You simply sit in northeast side of your office/ home/ room to enhance wealth luck or do your wealth pursuit activities there.

If the day stem is also your wealth element based on your Bazi chart, then you likely have better wealth luck today.  For example, Jia-wood is the wealth element for people with Geng- or Xin-metal daymasters.  These people will like have better wealth luck today.  For Geng daymasters, jia-wood is their "non-regular" wealth.  This means they will have better gambling, lotto and stock luck today.  For Xin daymasters, jia-wood is their "regular wealth" which could mean more income that requires real effort like OT or extra work duties for today.

Alec Baldwin's prop gun accident and 3-penalties

On Oct. 21, 2021 around 1- 2 pm, Alec Baldwin had accidentally killed his cinematographer and injured the director with a prop gun on the movie set of "Rust" in California.  Below are the astrological data for this analysis:

  • Current year: 2021 Year of Ox (Year Ruler or Grand Duke is Ox or Chou)
  • Current MonthXu or Dog month
  • Alec Baldwin was born in 1958 (63 years old), the Year of Dog or Xu.  Dog "penalizes" Ox in Chinese astrology, so Alec "penalizes" the Grand Duke of 2021.  This usually means obstacles and misfortune.
  • Director Joel Souza was born in 1973 (48 years old), the Year of Ox or Chou.  Joel has the same animal sign of Grand Duke of 2021.  This is called "violating" Grand Duke.  This usually means obstacles, illness and bad luck.
  • Cinematographer Halyna Hutchins was born in 1979 (42 years old), the Year of Ram or Wei.  Ram clashes Ox in Chinese astrology.  This is called "clashing Grand Duke" and usually means bad luck, sickness, injury or even death.

You may notice the people involved in this tragedy have the Chinese zodiac animal signs that form a "dog-ox-ram" or Xu-Chou-Wei 3-penalties in Chinese astrology.  

Now let's look at the day chart when the accident had happened:


The incident had happened when the day chart has all the Xu-Chou-Wei 3-penalties element present!  The victims' animal signs also form the same 3-penalties.  This case study also shows "clashing Grand Duke" is more serious than other forms of interaction with Grand Duke.  People who were born in 1943, 1955, 1967, 1979, 1991, 2003 and 2015 are "clashing Grand Duke" for 2021.

Another lesson here is avoiding gathering of people with animal signs that will form a 3-penalties with the current Grand Duke, especially when the day chart also has the same 3-penalties elements.

RIP Halyna Hutchins

Secret norms in Feng Shui circle 风水界行业秘密

Below are some norms or practices among traditional Feng Shui practitioners:

1.  "Do not ask, will not tell" 不问不说:  If client has question, s/he should ask the Feng Shui practitioner.  The practitioner or teacher will not tell you the Feng Shui problems without being asked.  One's Feng Shui problems are reflections of one's karma (causes and effects).  If offering solutions without being requested, the practitioner may take over client's negative karma because this becomes uninvited interference to one's destiny.

2.  "Proactively requesting guidance" 主动请法:  Generally speaking, the teacher will only tell you the trend of your fortune and will not offer remedies and enhancements if you do not make the effort to ask for them.  The rationale is similar to #1 due to karma considerations.

3.   "No free guidance"法不空出:  One must have "red packet" (consultation fee) ready after the teacher has provided methods on remedies and enhancements.  This is the universal "give and take" process.  Taking advantage of "free advice" is equivalent to damaging one's spiritual (heart) Feng Shui.  This could create a karma debt/ entanglement to the teacher and bad luck for both parties. 

4.  "Partial reading" 不完全看:  A responsible practitioner may give 60- 70% of the total Feng Shui information to the client.  S/he dares not to give you 100% because s/he does not know if your spiritual Feng Shui or moral cultivation can handle the information or not.  Traditional Feng Shui practitioners believe 50% of one's fortune depends on environmental Feng Shui and the other half on one's spiritual Feng Shui.  People without the appropriate moral cultivation occupy an auspicious Feng Shui location could render the location inauspicious.  

In summary, if you do not ask, the practitioner or teacher is likely will not tell you anything.  Pay the consultation fee if advice is given.  Free advice is bad for both the client and practitioner.  The above is also applicable to other form of Chinese astrological or fortune-telling practitioners.

Secrets of branch hidden elements 地支藏干秘中秘

A Bazi natal chart consists of four pillars representing one's birth year, month, day and hour.  Each pillar has one "stem" and one "branch".  Stem is external and "visible" to the public.  Branch is internal and not visible to the outside world.

Out of the 12 possible branches, zi, wu, mao and you have the purest energy or the least "hidden" elements.  The rest has 2 or more hidden elements.

These hidden elements are our windows to the chart owner's private matters like relationship, personal qualities, "dirty laundries" and the like.

We can decode these branch hidden elements by applying 10 transformation stars ("10-gods") meaning onto the hidden elements.

Bazi: "Jinx" secrets exposed

According to dictionary.com, jinx as a noun is defined as: 

 "person, thing, or influence supposed to bring bad luck."  

Jinx as a verb is someone who "brings bad luck to; places a jinx on...".

The Chinese word for jinx is "ke" (克) which literally means "to restraint, subdue or overcome".

However, even many Chinese readers have misunderstood the meaning of jinx and equated it to "jinxing someone to death".  Many traditional Chinese tear-jerking black and white movies used this "jinx" topic-- like a woman's Bazi chart jinxing her husband or children got sent away or a child's chart jinxing parents and got mistreated or abandoned.

In reality, "jinx" does not mean a person's Bazi chart causing the death or bad luck of a close relative.  It just reflects the "fate" of the person being "jinxed".

Today is your ultra-lucky day!  It is very rare to have all the "jinxes" put in one short blog article for you to learn in a flash.

TYPES OF JINX IN BAZI

  1. Jinxing father:  chart with numerous/ strong peer stars (bi-jian/ jie-cai) attacking wealth star (esp. pian-cai)-- this person will have poor relationship with father if the jinx is minor; father is chronically sick or has poor luck if medium serious and premature death if the jinx is serious. 
  2. Jinxing mother:  chart with numerous/ strong wealth stars (zheng-cai/ pian-cai) attacking resource star (zheng-yin/ pian-yin)-- this person will have poor relationship with mother if the jinx is minor; mother is chronically sick or has poor luck if medium serious and premature death if the jinx is serious. 
  3. Jinxing sibling:  chart with numerous/ strong power stars (zheng-guan/ qi-sha) attacking peer star (bi-jian/ jie-cai)-- this person is likely the single child of the family.
  4. Jinxing wife:  chart with numerous/ strong peer stars (bi-jian/ jie-cai) -- this person will either have problem getting a wife or poor relationship with wife or wife is chronically sick or died prematurely. 
  5. Jinxing husband:  chart with numerous/ strong output stars (shang-guan/ shi-shen) -- this person will either have problem getting a husband or poor relationship with husband or husband is chronically sick or died prematurely. 
  6. Jinxing children:  Male chart with numerous/ strong output stars (shang-guan/ shi-sen) overcoming all power stars (zheng-guan/ qi-sha); female chart with numerous/ strong resource stars (zheng-yin/ pian-yin) overcoming all output stars (shang-guan/ shi-shen) -- this person will suffer miscarriage or abortion if the jinx is minor; children is chronically sick or suffer disasters if medium serious and children die prematurely or no children if the jinx is serious. 

"Jinx" in a chart does not reflect if the chart or the person is good or bad.  It is just an indicator of the fate or future of his/ her close relatives.

"Ken, is there any remedy for these jinxes?"

The answer is both yes and no.  There are some methods to reduce or ameliorate the effect of jinx through Bazi and Feng Shui.  For details, consult the following courses:
