On May 9th the Belgian cyclist Wouter Weylandt died in serious crash during Giro d’Itaila’s stage three.

Here is his natal chart according to Chinese four pillars astrology:

Date of birth: 27.09.1984
Year:     Wood Rat (Jia Zi)
Month:  Water Rooster (Gui You)
Day:      Wood Rat (Jia Zi)
Hour:     ?

Current 10-year cycle: Fire Rat (Bing Zi) - 23-33

And here are the four pillars of his death:

Year:     Metal Rabbit (Xin Mao)
Month: Water Snake (Gui Si)
Day:     Wood Rat (Jia Zi)
Hour:   Water Rooster (Gui You)

We can notice the repetition of the pillars in his month and day of birth + the day and hour of death:

  In Four Pillars Astrology there is a symbolic star “Confrontation with Heaven”. Its meaning is short life or vulnerability to more dangers in one’s life. This star can also happen in the horoscopes of enlightened people.
  Here is the calculation of Confrontation with Heaven star, which happens only when there is a certain repetition of pillars in the natal chart:

• Jia Zi (Wood Rat)
• Jia Xu (Wood Dog)
• Yi You (Wood Rooster)
• Bing Shen (Fire Monkey)
• Ding Wei (Fire Goat)
• Wu Wu (Earth Horse)
• Ji Si (Earth Snake)
• Gen Chen  (Metal Dragon)
• Xin Chou (Metal Ox)
• Ren Yin (Water Tiger)
• Ren Zi (Water Rat)
• Gui Hai (Water Pig)

   In the case of Wouter Weylandt we see repetition of Jia Zi (Wood Rat) in his year and day pillars. 

  No matter how long or short life may be, naturally we all want to make the best of it. Wouter Weylandt lost his life in the pursuit of his passion.

The earthquake in Japan of March 11th is a big disaster.

In the famous Chinese prophetic book “Tui Bei Tu” from 7th century, for the Metal Rabbit Xin Mao chapter it’s written: “Water bellow, Thunder above”. 《推背图》“辛卯”，坎下震上。Here the Thunder and Water are the two hexagrams representing the main characteristics of the period of Xin Mao (Metal Rabbit). The Thunder hexagram is associated with earthquakes. It could be a coincidence, but it somehow reminds me the big earthquake in Japan.

Besides, this year the 5 Yellow star in feng shui  lies in the East direction. Now is the Metal Rabbit month (from March 6th to April 4th) and it is a duplication of the pillar of the year. This means a strong influence of 5 Yellow disaster star in the East (Japan is in the East direction).

Last month, Steve Jobs (CEO of Apple) took medical leave again, fueling new rumors about his weakening health.

I took a look at his Four Pillars chart:

10 Y Luck (24/1/1962)

He is a Yang Fire person born on Dragon day in Tiger month. The Fire DM is very strong supported by timely Wood (Resource - talents) and Dragon is known to be very creative and unusual in ideas and manners. There is almost no Water in the chart to control his Fire, which means his character and life will be volatile, can raise to great heights but also experiences major setbacks.

He used to have a reputation for violent outbursts and tyranical behaviour, which is explained by his Fire being uncontrolled.

In 2002 he entered a new 10 year Luck Period of Yin Water Rooster. The appearance of Water ( power - recognition for this chart) was very good news for his business and Apple enbarked on strong growth. But it also affects his health. Water is boosting the already very strong Wood in the chart. This Wood has been dry for years. This leads to imbalance in Wood and Earth (which gets attacked by strong Wood). Wood relates to liver and gall bladder, Earth is connected to stomach and pancreas in Chinese medicine.

In 2004 (a year of Yang Wood Monkey), he was treated for pancreas cancer. More Wood came in with the year, while Monkey clashed with Tiger in his chart.

In 2009 he received a liver transplant.

Now he has taken medical leave again.

We are in a year of Metal Rabbit. Rabbit completes a triangle frame with Tiger and Dragon in his chart, again making Wood overly strong.

He is going to enter a new 10 year Luck Period around 24 January 2012. This will be a LP of Yang Water Monkey.  I don’t want to predict anybody’s death, but it is going to be difficult for him. Yang Water clashes with his Yang Fire DM, while Monkey will clash with the Tiger in his chart. Tiger is the main root for his Fire DM.

Some improvement becomes possible starting 2013, when Snake and Horse year will come to absorb the excess Wood that affects him. Perhaps new advances in medicine will help to cure him. But only if gets through the next 2 years.

Hi all,

Here is an example how 4P can also be used for non-person entities like countries or companies. There is only one small difference: since there is no gender we always have the  10 Y luck periods move in forward direction.

This is the chart for modern Egypt:

Egypt

Cairo * Egypt
Born: 18 June 1953 23:30

Longitude: 31 E 15 Latitude: 30 N 0

Day: Geng Zi (Yang Metal Rat)
Month: Wu Wu (Yang Earth Horse)
Year: Gui Si (Yin Water Snake)

10 Y Luck (10/5/1959)

Age 15 - 24 : Geng Shen (Yang Metal Monkey)
Age 25 - 34 : Xin You (Yin Metal Rooster)
Age 35 - 44 : Ren Xu (Yang Water Dog)
Age 45 - 54 : Gui Hai (Yin Water Pig)
Age 55 - 64 : Jia Zi (Yang Wood Rat)
Age 65 - 74 : Yi Chou (Yin Wood Ox)
Age 75 - 84 : Bing Yin (Yang Fire Tiger)
Age 85 - 94 : Ding Mao (Yin Fire Rabbit)
Age 95 - 104 : Wu Chen (Yang Earth Dragon)
Age 105 - 114 : Ji Si (Yin Earth Snake)
Age 115 - 124 : Geng Wu (Yang Metal Horse)

We can see that the chart lacks Wood element and has a lot of strong Earth and Fire (quite fitting for a hot country that is mostly desert). The Rat Branch can be seen as symbolizing the river Nile, which takes a central place in the country.

The absence of Wood means a lack of Wealth in the chart, so poverty and the economy are an issue in the country. When Wood appears in LP the situation can be improved.

Since May 2009 a new LP of Yang Wood Rat has started. This already indicates major changes because Jia Zi is the first stem-branch combination in the sequence of 60. It marks the beginning of a completely new period. But it will be a difficult first 10 years. Rat adds to the clash with Horse in the chart, and Yang Wood clashes with the Yang Metal DS.

So the entire 10 Y luck period is in clash with the chart. This means there is likely to be ongoing tensions, clashes and conflict untill 2019. Replacing the president is easy, but solving the real problems in the country is going to take a very long time. Income from selling oil is declining in Egypt, and at the same time it has to import almost half of its food (at rising prices). People are going to be disappointed with their new president, no matter who takes the place of Mubarak. Things will get worse before they get better (in 2019 - 2049).

It’s funny how people’s desires make new symbols in the Chinese culture and thus even more new age feng shui items. For more proffits, now in China they sale rabbit objects and name them “the rabbit of wealth” 发财兔. I am not aware of rabbit being a symbol of wealth in the past of China…

One of the most common wishes for this Metal Rabbit Year among the Chinese and the Chinese-speaking people in East Asia is “Wish you a sudden wealth!” 祝你兔然发财, which is a wordplay. “Sudden” in Chinese is tu, which sounds similar to “rabbit”.

Again, everything is for this craze of becoming rich.
