Today is the birthday of Ali Abdullah Saleh, president of Yemen. He is celebrating his 65th birthday amidst major protests in his country, where the people demand end of his 30-year long rule. In hope to retain his power, yesterday Saleh dismissed the government. He is trying to change everything else, but just not to step down from power.
Saleh’s new 10-year cycle starts just after a week (28/3/2011). The start of a new cycle always brings changes in life. It’s also worthwhile to notice the duplication of his month pillar in the natal chart and the current year - xin mao （Metal Rabbit). This kind of duplication (called Fu Yin in Four Pillars astrology) always brings lots of stress in life. For the Yemeni president this is quite obvious now, in the Metal Rabbit month. In addition, the xin mao （Metal Rabbit) duplication in his horoscope is in clash with his 10-year cycle (ding you Fire Rooster).

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).
Muammar Gaddafi is one of the longest serving rulers in history. He has been a leader of Libya since 1969, which makes more than 41 years.
Major political protests against him broke out in Libya this month. It’s obvious that Gaddafi’s time is running out.
Let’s look at Gaddaffi’s Chinese horoscope:
Born: 7 June 1942

Day: Xin Mao (Yin Metal Rabbit)

Age 49 - 58 : Xin Hai (Yin Metal Pig)
Age 59 - 68 : Ren Zi (Yang Water Rat)
Age 69 - 78 : Gui Chou (Yin Water Ox)
Gaddafi is born in the day of Metal Rabbit. And now we are in the year of Metal rabbit. In Four Pillars astrology this duplication of signs is called Fu Yin and usually means a very special time in one’s life, which can bring life-threatening conditions. Yes, this definitely is going to be a hard time for Gaddafi.
