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.
- 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"
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 2022, this 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).
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!

辛丑年 1961．2021．

壬寅年 1962．2022．

更看三秋裡，禾稻穗重重。人民雖富樂，六畜盡遭凶。
卜曰︰虎首值歲頭，在處好田苗。桑柘葉下貴，蠶娘免憂愁。
禾稻多成實，耕夫不用憂。
癸卯年 1963．2023．
詩曰︰太歲癸卯年，高低半憂喜。春夏雨雹多，秋來缺雨水。
燕趙好桑麻，吳地禾稻美。人民多疾病，六畜瘴煙起。
桑葉枝上空，天蠶無可食。蠶婦走忙忙，提籃泣淚悲。
雖得多綿絲，盡費人心力。
卜曰︰癸卯兔頭豐，高低禾麥濃。耕夫皆勤種，貯積在三冬。
桑葉雖然貴，絲綿更有工。
甲辰年 1964．2024．
詩曰︰太歲甲辰年，稻麻一半空。春夏遭淹沒，秋冬流不通。
魯地桑葉好，吳邦穀不豐。桑棄末後貴，相賀好天蟲。

卜曰︰龍頭屬甲辰，高低共五分。豆麥無成實，六畜亦遭迍。
更看冬至後，霜雪落紛紛。
乙巳年 1965．2025．
詩曰︰太歲乙巳年，高下禾苗翠。春夏多漂流，秋冬五穀豐。
豆麥美燕齊，桑柘益吳楚。天蟲筐內走，蠶娘哭葉空。
絲綿不上秤，疋帛價更高。
卜曰︰蛇頭值歲初，穀食盈有餘。早禾莫令晚，蠶亦莫令遲。
夏季麥苗秀，三冬成實肥。
