Four Pillars

Storks bring babies?

Research in Germany has shown that the decline in storks around Berlin between 1970 and 1985 coincided with less babies being born in the area.

When the population of storks started increasing again after 1995, there was also an increase in deliveries outside city-hospitals.

Here is the complete article: New evidence for the Theory of the Stork

For folk beliefs and things like theories connected to astrology we will always find cases that seem to confirm the theory or belief. If only we keep looking for confirmation. But does that also mean it is true?

What is your conclusion?

Mark Zuckerberg

The co-creator and founder of Facebook became the world’s youngest billionaire in 2008.

His wealth is likely to increase even further with the Facebook IPO stock offering announced for this year. This will generate $ billions for him and his company.

He has an interesting chart to look at. The birth time is uncertain, as there is no source for this time.

Despite the abundant Wood/Power this is a strong Earth DM chart born in Snake month.

It is fitting for an Earth person to work in social media, because Earth is the element that connects all the other elements.

He created Facebook during a 10 year Luck Period of Metal Goat, so this is strong Earth supporting Metal, which is Output/Creativity for an Earth DM. His Monkey day branch supports the Metal Output, so his ideas can quickly take root.

His Monkey Day combines with Rat in the Year, to form a semi-combination of Water. This means his ideas (Metal Output) can lead to great wealth, because Water is wealth for an Earth DM. When Dragon enters the picture it will make a complete Water frame.

Since mid 2011 he has entered a new 10 year Luck Period of Water Monkey. This further enhances the picture of Metal generating Water/wealth.

Now in 2012 we have entered a year of Water Dragon. This brings more Water on the stem, while Dragon completes the Water combination with the Rat and the Monkey in the chart. As far as generating wealth goes the picture cannot get any better than this, and as a strong Earth DM he can handle it well. It means he has chosen the perfect moment to sell some Facebook shares to the investing public.

Will it be a good investment to buy the Facebook shares? Well, that always depends on the price you pay. As the saying goes, a good company does not always make for a good investment. Because of the Water Dragon year I think the shares will be over-priced, or bid up too high by investors after the IPO.

Zuckerberg’s four pillars suggest strong generation of wealth for the next 20 years, but after 2031 it declines because LP of Wood Dog will drain wealth, so then there could be losses.

Korea

When the news of the death of the North Korean president appeared, Annie told me that I probably predicted major change for Korea in 2012.

I didn’t remember very well, but it turns out to be true.

In my article “Turning Points in History” I presented an experimental method, partly based on Chinese astrology, and it pointed to 2012 change for Korea.

Here is what I wrote for Korea:

“The next year that offers good chances for change will be #88, so that is 2012. It could also be late #87, 2011, as we can see that the line passes almost between the two.We will watch the news.”

You can find explanation of the method and a few other forecasts for other countries in the article here: http://fourpillars.net/turningpoints.php

When time permits I hope to create an update article for it, also covering some other countries.

Newspaper astrology

Some professional astrologers are against newspaper astrology columns, saying that it has given astrology a bad reputation.

But is that so?

Many newspapers also have a medical column, which regularly gives general tips and advice on health topics. Do these columns destroy the reputation of doctors and hospitals?

Of course not!
People are realistic enough and know that the newspaper only gives very general health information, and if they have a specific problem they have to consult a doctor or specialist.
Medicine *would* have a bad reputation if the service these doctors and specialist provide was no better than what is found in the newspaper free of charge.

And that’s the problem of astrology.
It is not the newspaper column that creates a bad reputation for astrology, if anything it generates public interest for astrology. But if the astrologer gives his clients information and advice that is as general and vague as the newspaper column, then his paying customer will feel cheated. That’s what creates bad reputation. Don’t blame the newspaper column for it.
