2019-2020 Feng Shui and its implications on the Covid-19 Global Pandemic (Part 2)

Tweet

In my last post, I blogged about 2019 Feng Shui and the significant events which took place in 2019. The novel coronavirus first surfaced in human circulation in Feng Shui year 2019 in Wuhan, China. So, we shall start looking at 2019 Feng Shui and move on to 2020 Feng Shui. As mentioned in my previous post, the key stars in analyzing  the Feng Shui of any year are the Ruling Stars, Tai Sui Star (太岁) and Sui Po Star (岁破). Readers who are not familiar with the Tai Sui or Sui Po Stars should refer my last post.

	Period Ruling Star	Annual Ruling Star	Annual Star No 2	Annual Star No 7	Tai Sui	Sui Po
2019	8 (centre)	8 (centre)	North-east	South-east	North-west	South-east
2020	8 (centre)	7 (centre)	South	Centre (Ruling)	North	South

As we can see from the table above, in 2019, both the Period and Annual Ruling Stars are Star No 8 (i.e. both stars resided in the centre). It follows that both the Annual Star No 2 and Period Star No 2 (not shown in the table) also resided in the same location (in this case, North-east). 

As Star No 2 represents sickness and loneliness among other things, the coronavirus first emerged in a prominent Northeastern country like China. This is the powerful effect of a double Star No 2 converging on Northeast! 

In 2019, the Tai Sui Star resided in North-west and as Feng Shui Year 2019 neared its end and Feng Shui Year 2020 beckoned, the Star approached the North and the corresponding Sui Po Star moved to the South. Meanwhile, the Annual Star No 2 moved from North-east to South (see table above). Thus, in 2020, the South is where Annual Star No 2 and Sui Po Star both reside. In any given year, the Sui Po location is considered highly inauspicious and in 2020, the inauspicious effects of Star No 2 will be magnified by the presence of the Sui Po Star. 

The novel coronavirus first surfaced in Feng Shui year 2019 and as we enter into 2020, the coronavirus started to spread to other parts of the world.  This is the result of the strength of inauspicious Star No 2 being magnified by the Sui Po Star. Star No 2 represents sickness and loneliness among other things. Hence apart from causing a health epidemic, social distancing and quarantine measures implemented in most countries also resulted in more people becoming lonely. Marriages are also being postponed in the current global pandemic. 

As the South is an inauspicious location in 2020 and the corresponding Element for South is "Fire", most industries represented by the "Fire" Element are likely to suffer bad fortunes. The energy, petrochemical, food & beverage and cinema theatres industries, all belonging to the "Fire" Element, are among the worst hit industries in this economic climate.

In our body, the eyes and heart belong to the "Fire" Element. It is now widely accepted that the novel coronavirus transmits through the eyes quite readily and any viral entry via the eyes usually result in a more severe form of disease. Many coronavirus patients also die of heart failure either directly or indirectly caused by the disease.

In the opposite North Sector resides the Tai Sui Star. The Tai Sui Star is a powerful star in Feng Shui. The Element of the North Sector is "Water" any industries belonging to the "Water" Element will experience a significant change in fortunes - for good or for bad. Industries belonging to the "Water" Element includes the transportation, cruise ships, beverages, insurance, entertainment (bars, discos, casinos, etc), among others.  Most of these industries have suffered a big downturn in fortunes, in particular the airline industry. On the flip side, food delivery service industry have witnessed a big upturn in fortunes, proving that the effect of the Tai Sui Star can be positive. The only certain aspect of this Star is that it will greatly magnify any Feng Shui effects.  It is worth mentioning that cruiseships seem to be constantly associated with coronavirus infection cases in the early months of Feng Shui Year 2020. Cruiseships travelling along the North-South direction this year are likely to face big adversities. In Feng Shui,  it is considered highly inauspicious to face or travel towards the Sector where the Tai Sui Star resides (太岁可坐，不可向)。If any cruiseship is plying along the North-South route, it is likely that the ship will be travelling towards the Tai Sui Star in its departure or return journey.

In 2020, Star No 7 made its way to the centre, i.e. it is the Annual Ruling Star this year. Hence, the effect of Star No 7 will also  be felt quite strongly this year. Star No 7 represents violence, mouth, politics, robbery, telecommunication, military and police force, among other things.

The political mongering between U.S. and China has continued into this year, with each country blaming the other for igniting the coronavirus health epidemic. More noticeably, the prevalence of mask-wearing (口罩) is a clear manifestation of Star No 7. The mask-wearing started during the last Feng Shui Year in Wuhan and this year, it has become widespread in most parts of the world. Even the U.S. which previously shunned the use of masks have started to enforce the wearing of masks in certain states.

The orthodox view on the transmission mode for the novel coronavirus has been challenged. When the coronavirus first emerged in China, health authorities around the world, particularly the World Health Organization (WHO) posited the traditional view that the coronavirus is only spread through respiratory droplets from coughing and sneezing. Now that we are several months into this global coronavirus pandemic, several authorities have taken a wider viewpoint on the possible coronavirus transmission modes. Of note, it is now acknowledged that the coronavirus can be transmitted through droplets released when a person talks. In our human body, Star No 7 also represents the lungs (besides the mouth) and it is no wonder that many  Covid-19 patients experience shortness of breath or even suffer lung damage.

The coronavirus health epidemic has also been a boon to the telecommunication industries. In particular, online classes and video conferencing are becoming the norms. Data centre investments are also becoming attractive to investors.

On the flip side, the alleged abusive use of force by the U.S. police personnel on the Blacks has triggered much anger throughout the black community. Again, this is a manifestation of the Star No 7. The negative aspect of this Star is apparent here, showing why this Star is regarded as inauspicious in Feng Shui.

Having analyzed the Feng Shui of 2020 and its implications on the coronavirus health epidemic so far this year, I will take a look at the Feng Shui for the remaining months of Year 2020 in my next post based on the monthly Feng Shui Stars. 

2019-2020 Feng Shui and its implication on the Covid-19 Global Pandemic (Part1)

The Covid-19 disease first broke out in Wuhan, China in late 2019 and continued to cause mayhem throughout the world in 2020. The high infection and death rates of the coronavirus have caused huge concern for authorities throughout the world. On hindsight, a feng shui enthusiast like me could (and should) have seen it coming. Can flying star feng shui explain its sudden emergence in late 2019?

	Annual Ruling Star	Star No 2	Star No 7	Tai Sui	Sui Po
2019	8	North-east	South-east	North-west	South-east
2020	7	South	Centre-Ruling	North	South

For the year 2019, apart from the emergence of the novel coronavirus, China also suffered one of the worst swine flu in its modern history. As for the novel coronavirus, some scientists suggested that it might have surfaced as early as November 2019 and became widespread in January 2020. From the Feng Shui point of view, this is also not a surprise. In Feng Shui, any new year always begins in February. Thus, late 2019 and January 2020 marks the transition from Feng Shui year 2019 to Feng Shui Year 2020. During the transition period, the annual flying stars of 2019 still rules but the effects of  the flying stars of 2020 are gradually being felt.


Before I discuss the implications of this transition on the coronavirus spread in 2020 (in my next blog post), I will like to digress here in this blog post to talk about another Feng Shui aspect of 2019. In 2019, the Tai Sui Star resided in the North-west Sector and the corresponding opposite sector is the South-east Sector. Therefore, in 2019, the Sui Po is in the South-east Sector. The Annual Ruling Star of 2019 is Star No 8.

In Flying Star Feng Shui, the Annual Ruling Star as well as the Tai Sui and Sui Po positions are the most important considerations. Thus, in 2019, the North-west and South-east Sectors are important sectors. Star No 7 resided in South-east Sector while Star No 9 resided in North-west Sector. Star No 7 symbolizes politics,  police and army officials, war and violence among other things and Star No 9 symbolizes fire among other things.  The Annual Ruling Star of 2019 is Star No 8 which symbolizes matters relating to earth and north-east. Thus, in 2019, matters relating to war, violence, fire and earth are expected to be very prominent.

Looking back on 2019, several significant events took place to validate these Feng Shui expectations. First, the trade war between U.S. and China (the most prominent country in the northeastern world as symbolized by Star No 8). was at its most intense. At the heart of the trade war lies in the agricultural trade purchases  from China (also symbolized by "Earth" Star No 8) as well as the intellectual property rights (as symbolized by the Fire element in Star No 9) dispute between the two countries. In the most intense weeks of the trade war, the Chinese government even talked up threats of curbing rare earth exports to U.S. (also symbolized by Star No 8) as one of the retaliatory measures in its arsenal.

Violence also reared its ugly head in 2019. The suicide killing of ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi who blew himself and his children up with a bomb is one of these  violent events. Hong Kong, normally one of the safest cities in the world, witnessed its longest and most violent political clashes between the pro-democracy groups and the city-state police. There were calls for independent inquiry into the use of violence by the police forces. For a Feng Shui enthusiast, it is no coicidence Hong Kong (a Chinese city) is involved since the Ruling Annual Star is Star No 8 which represents the North-east Sector. 

Indonesia, a Southeast Asia country, also witnessed a violent political situation in the aftermath of a presidential election. It is the most violent presidential election ever in its history.  In particular, the province of Papua witnessed the most violence. Like in Hong Kong, there were outcries against the abusive use of force by the police. As explained above, in Flying Star Feng Shui, the Southeast Sector is where Star No 7 is located in 2019. Thus, it is no surprise to see violent events taking place in a southeast country like Indonesia last year.  

In late 2019, U.S. President Donald Trump also has to overcome an impeachment charges pressed against by him by the Democrats. Before he can successfully overcome the impeachment charge, he ordered a drone strike which killed General Qasem Soleimani of Iran's Revolutionary Guard Corps, among other victims. From Feng Shui point of view, these events are manifestations of Star No 7. 

It is noticeable that 2019 was not an auspicious year for uniformed personnels like the police or army generals. From Feng Shui point of view, these groups of people are symbolized by Star No 7 and in 2019, this star resided in Southeast Sector where Sui Po is. Any sector where Sui Po is located is considered inauspicious.

In 2019, the "Fire" element is also quite prominent as the Star No 9, which symbolizes fire, resided in the Northwest Sector where Tai Sui was located. The strike on the Saudi Arabia's refinery plants was one of the most significant events in 2019 which is clearly of the "Fire" element. The killings of the ISIS leader and the Iranian General also involved the use of bombs - another object of "Fire" element. Likewise, the crash of Ethiopian Airlines plane in March and of a Russian Aerofot plane in May after an emergency landing also involves an explosion or outburst of fire. In retaliation for the killing of its army general, Iran also mistakenly shot down an Ukrainian plane.

For several months in the first half of 2019, haze caused by forest fires engulfed much of Southeast Asia countries including Singapore, Malaysia, Brunei, Thailand, Vietnam and Indonesia. In the second half of 2019 till early 2020,  Australia has its worst forest fires in its history in 2019. Australia is another country located in South-eastern part of the world. 

Finally, late 2019 also witnessed the emergence of the novel coronavirus "SARS-CoV-2" in China. Why did the novel coronavirus, surface in China in 2019? Why did the coronavirus have high infection and death rates? As always, as I will discuss in my next post, Feng Shui has all the answers - on hindsight.
