The Year of 2022

 


Above is the Lichun bazi for 2022, 4 February 2022 4:58AM. 4 yang wood, represent the seven killings to 戊, the yang earth. It does give the impression that there will be a lot of conflict in the Year of 2022. Russia invaded Ukraine on 24 February 2022. The year and month pillars were identical, this will usually mean a lot of hiccups throughout the year, and progress will be slow. 

Wood absorbs water, 木旺火相, when the wood is abundant, it provides ample of fuel to the fire. Hence, looking at weather, many places from North pole to United Kingdom to Spain witnessed record high temperature in July & August.

Droughts were so severe across Europe & China, hunger stones emerged across European rivers, while in China, hydroelectric power plants were not operating as usual, as water level has fallen to a very low level. 

Most 壬寅 years were marked by wars, one reason could be 寅是火的长生. 

1962: Kennedy slide of 1962, Cuban Missile crisis

1902: Second Boer War

1842: Second Opium War and cessation of Hong Kong to Great Britain 

Let's take a look at the feng shui, 9 star ki below:



When the 5 yellow star returns to the middle, 五黄入中, similar to the original heaven plate, is that it will amplifies the good and the bad events throughout the year. However, what has happened so far in 2022 were mostly negative events, hence, i believe the financial markets have yet to make a bottom at this point in time, and are likely to worsen in the coming months. 

While the 8 earth star is the dominant star within the current 20-year feng shui cycle, countries in the North East direction, Taiwan, South Korea, Japan were not spared, at least their economies have also suffered in 2022. 





Another thing to note this year is that, the three killing star was located at the north, 三煞, pointing to conflict, which turned out to be the Russia-Ukraine War. 

To refer to I-Ching as well: 



The Hexagram for 2022, based on the book, 皇极经世, is given as Hexagram 63 - 'Already Fording' or 水火既济卦. 

 
Hexagram63's Prophecy:
    Beginning: Prosperous
    Ending: Disorder & Chaos

There are 6 lines in this hexagram, with the bottom being Fire trigram and the upper one, water trigram. In I-Ching, each line can be used to represent 2 months in a year. And we start from the bottom, the fire trigram, fire represent brightness & hope; while water represent darkness & danger. 

The cut off would be August 2022 where the world will enter the water trigram. I believe the prophecy will materialise with Jan & Feb 2022 being better than Oct & Nov 2022, because there will be more disorder in the coming months, ranging from lack of food resources, recession to civil unrest arising from exorbitant utility bills. 

This is also not a good year to do any investment or business expansion, because of 亥水持世, and 子水持应帮亥水.  

Moving to financial markets commentary: 


What is surprising is that the decennial pattern also predicted a bearish market in advance, with the year ending 1 & 2 marked by revolutions and wars.

Year ending 1 & 2: 
2011: Arab Spring & Greek Debt Crisis
2001: Terrorist attack on World Trade Center & Dot com bubble
1991: Gulf War - Desert Storm & Bosnia vs Yugoslavian War
1981: Falkland War, attempted assassination of President Reagan & Anwar Sadat, of Egypt
1911: Xinhai revolution, 辛亥革命

All the year ending 1 in the Gregorian calendar, carries the heavenly stem of 辛, a yin metal. Metal, be it yin or yang has the ability to inflict damage and pain. Axe, drilling equipment to name 2 example of metal. 辛, itself also carries the connotation of making changes, 革新,改革换代.  

The year ending 2 tends to bottom out in the month of July or Oct. 

20 years ago, it was the bottom of the dot com bubble burst, a double bottom formed in mid Oct.  

60 years ago, it was the bottom of the Kennedy slide, a double bottom formed in mid Oct as well. 

Here i will attach my prediction for 2022 and into early 2023


 Besides, the Sabbatical Cycle began from Sep 2021 to Sep 2022. So far, things have been negative.
