Astro Forecast for 2009

If you ask me about what comes to my mind about 2009, I would see that it is an image of quick sand.

In terms of 5 elements, 2009 is an Earth Ox and not the Golden Moo-moo. The heavenly stem is yin earth and earthly branch is also a yin earth. Earth stacking on earth. Alot of things are buried very deeply. Or rather, alot of things are sinking into a bottomless pit.

For those who know some basic bazi, the Earthly branch, Chou, contains hidden stems of Gui water and Xin metal. To the Heavenly stem, Ji, water is the indirect wealth star. Chou is also known as the graveyard of water.

If I cast a divination about the outlook for 2009, I see that the indirect wealth for 2009 will enter graveyard. It is not a good sign because we do not like things to enter graveyard which usually associates with death. Any thing with regard to business investment and speculative trades will be hit. So, be careful again in your stocks and shares speculation. In addition, water related industry like logistic, shipping and transportation will also go downhill.

On the other hand, indirect wealth star also refers to father. Do spend more time with him if he is of old age or bring him see a doctor quickly if he is unwell.

As the 5 Elements Classic goes: "Too much earth buries the metal." So, metal related industry will not perform well too. Metal also refers to jewelleries, gems, finance and banking. Metal governs altruism. There will be enormous pressure on the justice and legal field, law enforcers; and do expect betrayals and unethical behaviours to be more prevalent between friends and partners.

Metal is also the output star of earth. It usually implies offspring. So, children will suffer stress, depression and health issues. It is not a favourable year for the youngest male child in the house. Why? Because in terms of flying star, Star 3 (wood) flies to North East (Gen Palace which represents youngest male) of the house, where Chou branch resides. It is a scenario of youngest child under attacked according to the flying star classics.

2009 is a year of stagnation, alot of uncertainties and under-currents. Do not be fooled. Alot of things are superficial. The quick sand effect will come after the month of May. So, becareful of where you stepping.

Stay on to your job and do not go into unchartered territories. Be very conservative in your decision.
