Ken's Cyber Cave: Kobe Bryant death

Tuesday, January 28, 2020

Is the death of Kobe Bryant due to Grand Duke effect?

Professional basketball player Kobe Bryant had died of a helicopter crash on January 26, 2020 at 9am+. Here is the chart when the crash had occurred:

Year (annual luck): JI-HAI

Month: DING-CHOU

Day: WU-CHEN

Hour: DING-SI

Color shows the energy distribution of the chart: yellow is earth; blue is water; red is fire; grey is metal and green is wood

You may notice now is still Year of Pig even though Chinese Lunar New Year has passed. Geng-zi or Year of Metal Rat will arrive on Feb. 4, 2020.

Kobe's birthday is August 23, 1978; hour here is estimated based on his physical appearance and personality

Year: WU-WU

Month: GENG-SHEN

D: DING-SI

H: JIA-CHEN (estimated)

10-Year-Luck: JIA-ZI

Annual Luck: JI-HAI

Upcoming Annual Luck: GENG-ZI

From the detailed color-coded Bazi charts, you can tell there are many red boxes or fire elements and few blue boxes or water elements. However, when examine carefully, there are 3 strong water formations:

shen-zi-chen water 3 unities
hai-zi-chou water 3 meetings
si-shen water combination

However, these combinations are not successful because there is no transformation medium ("fa-shen") water element in the stem level.

There are also two serious clashes in the branch level:

si-hai clash in spouse palace (day branch)
zi-wu clash in year branch

Could the above contribute to the crash? Probably not because Kobe was just 7 days short of making it to the Year of Rat.

However, helicopter crash is clearly zi-wu clash or water clashing fire. The helicopter flew in foggy condition and had circled a few times due to poor visibility before hitting a hill. Fogs are water vapor.

Kobe was a strong Ding-si fire daymaster and had died in a Ding-si fire hour!

The interesting thing here is: Hai Grand Duke is about to leave and Zi Grand Duke will come in February 4. I have observed that it is not uncommon for people suffer major mishaps when there is a switch of new Grand Duke (annual luck) or new 10-year-luck, especially the new one is unfavorable. It seems the changing of annual energy is not overnight but gradual--- for example, Geng-zi year has not arrived yet but its influence is already felt. Geng-zi is strong water energy.

In Kobe's case, I suspect Geng-zi energy begins entering the earth already and reinforces water energy to battle fire energy in Kobe's chart, such as two zi-water to clash one wu-fire. Unfortunately, the helicopter had flown in strong fire hour of Ding-si which further intensified the fire-water battle. I wonder if the accident could be avoided if the flight was in a non-fire hour.

In this example, it does not matter if fire or water is favorable or not. When two antagonistic elements with strong intensity exist in a chart, they will battle and create hardship or even death for the chart owner. In Kobe's case, there is a jia-wood "mediator" in the chart, so that water will nurture wood and wood nurtures fire to avert the battling (Note: there is a geng-metal in the natal chart, but it is surrounded by fire and rendered it ineffective). But when Geng-zi year arrive (in this case, it has not arrived yet), geng-metal chops jia-wood, the mediator is gone resulting in fire and water battle to death.

RIP Kobe
