Analysis of Geng-Zi year 2020 （庚子年）
While I
was showering, my mind started spinning and thinking a lot of things. Things
are not going well in this world and to people around me, what would happen
next year? How does Geng-Zi (庚子) going to affect us?
As I
thought about it, my mind went deeper and linking all the theories that I’ve
learnt.
For a
start, we can look at Heavenly Stem and Earthly Branch of Gengzi (庚子) and try to understand what this two words means.
Geng (庚) – Yang Metal
It
symbolizes big heavy metallic objects such as aircrafts, ships, cars, big
swords
It also
symbolizes North West, Qian hexagram (乾卦), Father, Leaders,
First.
In our body, it symbolizes intestines. As it is also Metal, it is also
related to lungs, skin, nose, respiration system, bones, teeth, etc.
乾 – also represents Money. Metal relates to
Financial sector, electrical & engineering, building and maintenance,
aesthetic and beauty products/services.
庚 – is like a sword,
it is cold and sharp. It is also associated with blades, needles, hence
surgery.
Zi (子) – Yang Water Rat
It
symbolises big water – sea, ocean
It also
symbolises North, Kan hexagram (坎卦), Middle Son/Middle-age adult.
In our body, it symbolizes kidney, reproduction system, woman’s period, lower
part of the body, fluid, circulation system, bladder, etc.
坎 – also represents obstacles,
difficulties, problems, etc.
子 also represents
Winter Water (Jan) when it is very cold.
Water relates to high turnover industries such as hotels, F&B, theme
parks, shipping, etc.
So when you put庚 on top of子, it is like a big (metallic) object above the water. Except there is
nothing to support it, hence the big object will fall into the water and the
water will create big ripples of water.
In this
illustration, we can visualise problems relating to Tsunami, airplane crashes,
ships sinking.
And these two are cold Yin elements, and the base is fluid, hence they
represents unstable/unsettling, dark cold thoughts and emotions. Like
depression, suicidal, schizophrenic, jealously. etc. At the same time, because
the emotions are unstable, they are reactive as well. They will think of
hurting others, revenge, unscrupulous plotting.
If we look at the hexagram (I-Ching), 乾坎 – 天水讼
讼 itself is legal
suit, 口舌quarrels,
disagreement, legal complications.
天
– sky at the top
水
– water at the bottom
They are not connecting, distance to each other. You do your things, I
do mine. So people at the top and people working at the bottom are not in
agreement. They have different thoughts of working.
In QiMen, 庚 is a White Tiger star 白虎. It symbolizes danger, injury, misfortune,
accidents. And because it attacks Jia 甲, hence甲 has to hide 遁.
甲
– represents leader, Number 1, general.
Hence, we’ll see a lot of problems to the Leaders of the world, leaders
of the corporations, leaders quarreling with each other. Especially those who
are outshining and outspoken because they do not hide遁, they get attack by
unseen forces and visible enemies.
庚 also represents “lump” in
health. So it could be a cyst, tumours, blockage. Hence it is also related to
cancer, stroke, heart attack, respiration/skin problems, kidney stones, etc.
In
flying stars,
5 Yellow
Star is at East (misfortune, accidents, sickness, anything that is bad)
2 Black
Star is at South (sickness)
Tai Sui （太岁）at North
Three Killings (三煞)
at South (mishap, unrest, obstacles).
So we might expect more problems with China, Japan, Korea, Hong Kong,
Taiwan.
Well is it all that bad, maybe and maybe not. And everyone’s bazi is
different, some are running good luck, some are able to tide through. So not
everyone will experience the same thing. But I’m saying this only for us to
take note of it so we can control our emotions and behavior. Take note of
changes that might affect us.
There’s a Chinese saying 先知先觉, when you know about it you can be aware of it. And
sometimes may prevent things from getting worse.
I shall stop here. Will write more along the way when I get my inspirations.
