SIX months prior to each new year, my father, Grand Master Chi-Jen Liu and I begin to study the Flying Nine Star Charts for the next year, along with the Chinese Almanac (Tong Shu), Book of Changes (Yi-Jing) and the Zi Wei astronomy charts. Along with these cyclical studies, we observe the chi of national leaders and their people, and meditate to receive higher universal intelligence, which allows us to make social, political, economic, disaster, climate, and health forecasts across the globe.
Please remember that the directions of the Nine Star Chart can be applied on macro and microcosmic levels. In other words, when we talk about any one of the nine directions, such as the north sector, this can relate to the continents of the Northern Hemisphere, its northern countries, or its northern cities.
In some cases regions can overlap. For instance, Los Angeles can belong to both the southwest (on the scale of the whole country) and the south (on the scale of the state). When similar stars occur in two overlapping directions, this further pinpoints where an event may occur.
Due to the fact that each of the Nine Stars are associated to a wide number of aspects - from different directional regions, economic sectors, climatology, social roles, physical human attributes, to different seasons- there are many interpretations that can be forecasted. We are not able to give all possible combinations of forecast interpretations. We did our best to provide the main ones.
Below is a condensed version of the forecasts we made in June of 2008 for 2009 concerning the central regions. I will address the remaining 8 directions in subsequent articles, so be sure to check back!
Center – 9
The Center Stars in the Nine Star Chart provide an overview of the year’s energy. Fire Star 9 was the base star in the center of the 2009 Nine Star Chart. The basic character of the Star 9 is its association to the ambitious middle-aged female, thus we forecasted that females would make powerful strides on both the economic and political fronts. In 2009, a record of five women received the Nobel Prize. We also experienced the highest number of female world leaders to date at fifteen.
One of the key economic sectors related to Star 9 is entertainment. We forecasted that this sector would prosper last year and indeed, Hollywood set a box office record of $10 billion in 2009.
Fire Star 9 is also related to the element of fire, indicating fire disasters, higher temperatures, and electrical problems. We specifically forecasted pyrotechnic disasters and blackouts. A major blackout in Brazil on November 11, 2009 left 18 of the 26 states without power.
The 2009 Nine Star Charts also showed fire in the northeast and east directions where the following disasters occurred. On July 5, 2009, a fireworks explosion claimed the lives of 4 people in North Carolina, which is on the east coast of the United States. On February 9, 2009, during the Lunar New Year celebration in Beijing (located in northeast China) illegal fireworks set fire to one of Beijing’s most architecturally celebrated buildings.
Star 9 is also associated to the south, indicating that the south regions of the world would likely experience fire as well. Last year, Australia had one of the worst brushfires in its history, accompanied by record high temperatures in parts of Melbourne that caused dozens of heat-related deaths. With the sitting and facing Stars 5 and 4 in the center, we predicted strong winds that could spread wildfire. This was, in fact, the cause of the Australian brushfires.
Southern California also experienced fire energy when the Station fire burned 160,557 acres in the Angeles National Forest and destroyed 89 homes.
Although we did not predict these events specifically, they do indeed reflect the possible interpretations of the Stars 9, 5, and 4 in the center sector.
