OVERALL PROJECTION
This is the fourth year of the Lower “8” Cycle of the world. Based on I-Ching, while the period between 1984 and 2043 (totalling 60 years) is “Fire-Wind Urn”, the year 2007 is “Fire-Earth Forward”.
I-Ching Analysis
“Fire-Earth Forward” has 2 “Yang’s” covering 1 “Yin”, plus further 3 “Yin’s” at the bottom. It has a total of 4 “Yin’s” and 2 “Yang’s”. That means “woman” power will continue to overshadow “man”. It is especially in favour of middle-aged women. They would have an easier chance to climb to senior corporate and political positions.
This I-Ching symbol indicates fire on top of earth. The world may have to suffer from many wild fires, arguments, battles and wars. Controversies would not be restricted to international affairs, but also internal affairs. Many countries had to go through huge revelations which in turn lead to political changes.
This I-Ching conflict is the result of a “Yang” at the top with many “Yin’s” at the bottom. Such foundation becomes very shaky. Hence there would be a lot of accidents involving height, such as outer space adventures, satellites malfunctioning, bridges collapsing, high-rises becoming unstable and airplane problems. Volcanoes and earthquakes would join in the rack.
Flying-Star Analysis
The “2-Black” illness stars is the controlling force of this year. This is a very negative force for sickness of all kinds, especially those to do with food. Problems related to birds and contagious illnesses may return. Fortunately, mankind had learned in 2003 & 2005 to deal with such problems.
There would be issues and problems involving religions and cults. They in turn cause more wars and battles. Some cults may once again cause problems such as group suicides.
There would be issues of pharmaceutical products. Some drugs that have existed for a long while may be found to have severe side effects. Even international drug-trafficking would be on the rise.
One strange phenomenon is an increase of problems to do with burials.
On the bright side, this is a good year for economic recoveries. Many businesses would do well. Strangely, there would be many marriages including older women with younger men.
Locations and Orientations
South-West
This is the “wealth” centre of the year. However, this is a very unstable centre. Good and bad things could happen and switch very swiftly. Representative cities in Canada are Vancouver and Calgary. Real estate will continue to prosper in these areas. In Ontario, cities such as Waterloo, Kitchener and London would also do well.
West
This is the “triple conflict” centre, but is also the “learning” centre. Because of the special I-Ching combination, there would be a lot of marriages including older women and younger men, especially divorced middle-aged people. There would be plenty of scholars and inventions coming out of the west, such as USA and in particular, California. Hi-tech firms with headquarters in California would do very well. Nevertheless, there would be a lot of family and social problems in such districts.
North-West
This is the “arguments” centre. In Canada, it is represented by Alberta. This province may experience new controversies in its political policies. Luckily, Alberta would still do well in its economy.
North
This is a centre with lots of changes. It is a receding centre compared with last year. Hence, its economy would be weaker than before. There would be many political changes in countries such as Canada and Russia as many politicians in power would make mistakes. As a result, minority governments are more likely than majority. There would also be plenty of water problems such as flooding in northern countries such as Canada and Russia.
North-East
This is the weakest of the eight centres because of the “Five-Yellow” effect. Representative places are Canada’s Quebec and North-Eastern China. The former would suffer from people-oriented issues, while the latter from problems with nature such as earthquakes and flooding, and new sources of sickness.
East
This is the centre for joy. Japan would soften its position with China. China’s Shanghai and coastal cities would continue to prosper, especially after many corruption problems being cleaned up. Canada’s maritime provinces and U.S. eastern states would also do well.
South-East
This is the “romance” centre. On the negative side, there would be many problems involving sex such as rapes and extra-marital affairs, especially in south-eastern parts of countries. Examples are Florida (USA), Taiwan, HK, and Guangdong (China). However, governments in such places would be more anti-corruption. Such places would experience a large number of strong women to fill in both business and political positions.
South
This is the “travel” centre. There would be lots of travel activities in southern countries such as Mexico, South America, and South Pacific islands. Economies naturally would be good.
Central
The controlling force is the central “2-Black”. It may create many new forms of illnesses, especially those involving food. Many problems in the world would be related to medicine, drugs trafficking, and land ownership.
Life Chart Analysis
This year is composed of “fire boar” year, “water tiger” month, “earth snake” day and “metal sheep” hour. There are connections and conflicts, making this year a very unstable one. This year would start shakily, and then begin to strengthen and end with another unstable state. The world would continue to be full of battles and wars. Inter-country immigration is at a record level, especially to stable countries such as Canada. People are more willing to spend money, resulting in better overall economy worldwide. Meanwhile, more and more people would pursue spiritual calmness.
Combined Analysis
Businesses
Business involving “fire, earth or metal” would do well. Those involving “water or wood” had to work much harder. There would be many business mergers, especially in the hi-tech sector. Many new fast growing hi-tech venture firms would appear.
Real estate would do well, especially those at S, SW and W. South part of cities such as Canada’s Toronto downtown would be benefited from good economy and there would be new office towers. An improved island airport would add to its fray of good fortune. There would be new development along the harbour front.
There would be technological breakthroughs in the automobile industry, especially in the field of “hybrid” fuel and other alternative fuels. Cars are getting more and more computerized.
Food businesses would do well too, especially those targeting weddings and births.
Gold and Metals would do well in general
Textiles may suffer more in Western countries than the East. People in such trades should learn to diversify.
Travel industry would do well in the south. However, there may be many accidents in mountainous areas.
Favorable Business (Fire, Earth, Metal)
- Automobiles, especially those from Japan and Germany
- Wind-related businesses, such as windmills
- Electronics and computer/storage media (such as computer parts, consumer items, mobile phones), but competition would be fierce
- Communications and Internets: machines would become smaller and smaller and yet more and more all-encompassing
- Securities
- Education
- Financial
- Show business
- Metals and Machinery
- New building materials
- House renovations
- Food businesses
- Real Estate values would become far more selective. While most sectors would somewhat slow down, quality ones would continue to prosper in growing areas such as Toronto, Calgary, Edmonton, Southern California, Tokyo, Beijing, Hong Kong, etc.
Unfavorable Businesses (Wood, Water)
- Textile and clothing
- Fishing
- Travel / Transportation – there would be more aviation companies running into financial troubles
- Smugglings
Politics
Many countries would suffer from internal problems. Many would be due for a good clean-up. Fights among political parties would be very serious. There would be changes of power in places such as Taiwan. USA would be in more turmoil both economically and politically. Home security issues and policies may become even more perplexing.
Canada’s politicians would be prone to making mistakes. There would be changes for those in power. However, controversies would continue. Majority of changes may be in the middle rank such as ministers.
Mid-East would continue to be in turmoil, with even more casualties on the horizon.
Northeast countries would suffer from negative economies, such as North Korea and Quebec (Canada).
East countries such as Japan will try to bridge its gap with China. However, there would be many earthquakes and natural disasters around Japan.
Southeast districts such as Taiwan and Guangdong may go through major political changes and cleanups.
World Economy
Overall, we are into a better year. People’s living standards would improve. More large corporations would be headed by the female.
The fastest growing country would continue to be China, followed by India. The Chinese dollar will appreciate. The Canadian dollar would drop below 90 cents US. USA’s deficit will balloon even further. Drugs would be a major problem in both USA and Canada. In USA, many doctors dealing with pain clinic may be in trouble.
Economy would be good in areas such as Canada and Hong Kong. Oil prices would soften. Accordingly, Alberta’s economy would weaken somewhat and its R.E. would not be as heated as the year before. Its new premier would not be as aggressive as its predecessor.
Interest rates in North America would continue to be low.
Canadian Economy
- Fiscal deficits would be well under control at most levels of governments
- Interest rates will stay low and prime rates will fluctuate between 4-6%
- Can $ will hover around US 88-90 cent mark
- TSX should fluctuate between 11,000 and 13,000 points

- Many CEO’s would continue to change, with some corporate heads to be female
- Canadian companies would continue to expand into the US and buy out US companies
- More US chain companies would buy into the Canadian market
- Competition among all businesses will be more fierce than before
- Steady economic growth (3-4%)
- Unemployment rate to stay low (5-7%)
World Climate Pattern
The world would be really heated up with many record temperatures. There would also be a lot of problems related to fire, especially the west part of countries, such as California in USA and BC in Canada. The south would be a lot drier, thus attracting fires. The north would be more watery. There would be a lot of volcano and earthquake activities, especially in the west and southwest parts of the world, including Southern Pacific.
Health
This may be a year negative for birds and wild life. Food problems would be a concern. There would be new found problems to do with drugs. Hence, the ultimate is to keep your health in check by doing good exercises such as yoga, qigong or Tai Chi.
