Following is a continuation of last week’s article in which we pointed out a few of the many events that were forecasted to occur in 2009. My father, Grand Master Chi-Jen Liu, and I were able to accurately forecast these events using the Flying Nine Star Charts, the Chinese Almanac (Tong Shu), Book of Changes (Yi-Jing), and the Zi Wei astronomy charts.
NORTH – 5
The violating Star 5 came to the north in 2009 indicating potential problems of a dire nature in the northern regions. We had already predicted major problems for the transportation industry with Star 6 in the north in 2008. With the Star 5 in 2009, it was not surprising to see the bankruptcy of the auto giants GM and Chrysler due to soaring gas prices and economic decline. The need for a major federal bailout was a great financial disaster for the United States, reflective of Star 5’s energies.
We did predict contaminated water sources, and specifically, oil spills in the northern regions. On December 30, 2009, 100 gallons of crude oil were estimated to have spilled in the water around Anchorage, Alaska.
On the positive side, the strong female energy of fame, associated with the double sitting and facing Star 9s, allowed us to forecast famous women rising to power in the north. In London, England, writer Carol Ann Duffy was appointed British Poet Laureate. She is the first woman to take this 341-year-old job that has until now been held by men.
In Period 8, Star 4 in the north is associated with the wind and flying animals. Combined with the annual Star 5, this can bring bird flu or airborne viruses to northern regions. The Avian Flu made headlines in Egypt (the northern region of Africa) while the infamous Swine Flu, caused by the N1H1 virus, spread through countries of the northern hemisphere.
SOUTH – 4
The Wood Star 4 is associated to the female scholar. Because Star 4 was in the south in 2009, we forecasted that female achievers and entertainers in these regions would receive accolades. One of the most notable was Kim Yu-Na of South Korea who won the world figure skating championship in Los Angeles, Southern California. Holding the world title, she set a skating record scoring 207.71. This was the first time a female skater scored over 200.
The wood energy of Star 4 promoted the fire energies of the south. We predicted that a rise of economic and political power in southern regions would likely be supported by the countries of the southeast, represented by Star 4. Indeed, China has invested tens of billions of dollars in Africa, ranging from oil, mining, lumber, and banking, to the construction of dams, highways, airports, and housing.
In the climate and natural disaster arena, Star 4 is associated to storms and the southeast direction. The accompanying sitting Star 1 defeated by facing Star 8 brought polluted waters caused by landslide and flood. We forecasted that this could bring disease and problems with dams, sewage lines, and flood control channels to southern regions. The International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Society reported that heavy rains, flash floods, storms, and landslides caused devastation across southern and eastern Asia. In the southeastern United States, the Chicago Tribune printed shocking photos of houses in Georgia flooded up to their rooftops in brown muddy water on September 22, 2009.
Around the same time, South Indian floods in Andhra Pradesh and Karnataka were the worst to have occurred in 100 years. In Southern California, flooding was caused by water pipes bursting. Ironically, pipes started bursting in June when water rationing was instigated in efforts to conserve water. Because water was restricted from use, it placed a surge of more water in the old pipelines, which caused them to burst and actually waste more water and create more expense using tax dollars for repairs.
