(Article written by Dr Anna Zarasyan – Qi Men Dun Jia Divination Teacher)
The Year of the Earth Pig 己 亥, is going to be a very special one. It is the year of the major transition.
Let us imagine, how 己 Ji (Yin Earth) and 亥 Hai (Yin Water) look like, when these two elements come together. Earth + Water = mud.
Given that 亥 Hai is containing two hidden Yang Stems 甲 Jia and 壬 Ren, the inner quality of 亥 Hai earthly branch is strength and fast motion. This is the reason why we equate 己 亥 Ji Hai not only to mud or muddy water, but also the dirty water running fast. After it subsides, the Earth becomes more fertile, giving birth to new life.
What this means for us is that this is the time where the new beginnings originate from. If you’re the one who likes breaking the rules, this is your time. Come forward and make yourself known. Plant your seeds now to reap the rewards.
For those of us who like to abide, wait till the murky waters subside a bit, because standing on the way is not a good idea. Unless you know how to go with the flow.
If you thought of making changes to your life or career, this is a good time. You will notice that you are not alone. Many of us will be prompted to make changes. People will travel. At times, it will seem like the whole world has taken off. Symbolically, it has. And it is not going to settle until we are well into 2020.
For this forecast we are using Qi Men Dun Jia annual chart system. It is a system where Heavenly Stems have a special importance. Hence, we are looking at the yearly stem that you are born with, rather than the 12 earthly branches or zodiacs for our annual luck analysis.
In Liu Bo Wen QMDJ Divination we take into account not only the components found in each palace, but also the hexagrams deriving from the combination of the components.
So, do scroll down further to find out how will 2019 pan out for you.
To find out which yearly stem you belong to, please look it up in the table below:
Now that you have found your stem, let us see if you are the one who is going to have much fun riding the Earth Pig.
甲 or 辛
In our annual chart 甲 Jia Wood is represented by 辛 Xin Metal.
This means that for instance, if you are born on or after 4 February 1984 or 2004, you belong to Jia Wood yearly stem. However, Jia Wood does not appear in a typical Qi Men Dun Jia chart. So, you have to substitute it with Xin Metal.
Given its positioning in the middle of the chart, we may conclude that the people whose year stems are Jia and Xin are likely to be under lots of pressure. They may feel trapped and frustrated, but how else can one learn to break through the barriers if there are none?
This is a perfect time to build up your inner strength and wisdom. Swift action will be required later this year when the obstacles start crumbling away.
