2009 The Year of the Yin Earth Ox

As we reach the half way mark for 2009 I thought it would be interesting to revisit one of New Year Predictions and see how we are tracking in 2009.

This outlook was based on Chinese Astrology for 2009 and I agree that the Chinese New Year didn’t start on January 1 - I still thought it a good point to start from.

I do not recall where this came from so thanks to the anonymous author

The Year of the Yin Earth Ox, is symbolized by earth on top of earth. This elemental relationship will bring a year of more harmony and peace in international relationships.

It is a year for healing and relaxation from the turbulent times that started in 2001.

It is a time for rebuilding from the damage brought by war and natural disasters, and the financial tsunami of 2008, and also a time to seek peace settlements and to narrow the differences between different cultures, religious beliefs and to make progress in addressing global warming.

The theme for this year is caring for planet Earth.

The Chinese calendar year is on 60-year cycle, so the last year of the yin earth Ox in 1949, a year when the world order settled down with the birth of Peoples Republic of China and the creation of NATO.

Countries were healing from the devastation of World War II and the more peaceful and stable environment gave birth to the baby boomers. There were no major conflicts between nations and it was a time of construction and rebuilding.

The Chinese character for “Yin Earth” represents a field or a garden.

It is associated with qualities of moderation, peace, intellect, charm and charity.

People born on a day of “Yin Earth” are often moderate, harmonious and slim.

Some examples of famous earth people born on a “Yin Earth” day are Barak Obama , Uma Thurman, Celine Dion, Tchaikovsky, Leonardo Da Vinci, Jet Li, Larry King, Charles Darwin and Sigmund Freud.

It is also interesting to note that Yin Earth Ox has appeared in some significant dates in American history, as the Declaration of Independence on 4th July, 1776, and the Pearl Harbor attack on 7th December, 1941 are both Yin earth Ox day.

So could 2009 be a year of significance to USA under new President bringing a lot of changes?

It so happens that the new U.S. President Barak Obama is also a yin earth person, and his birth elements are similar to Abraham Lincoln, who is also a yin earth person.

Naturally, he will be the focus of the world in 2009, the yin earth year.

It is interesting to note that George W. Bush is a yin metal person and he became president in 2001, a yin metal year that started 8 years of turbulence.

Let us hope that Barak Obama will bring out the peaceful and healing quality of yin earth for the benefit of the world.

The Ox is a complicated earth element.

Inside the Ox earth, the hidden elements are water, earth and metal.

The water and metal exhausts the earth, so we cannot consider the earth in 2009 is strong earth, and there is instability that will bring earth disasters.

In August 1949, a 6.75 Richter scale earthquake in Ecuador killed 6000 people and destroyed 50 towns.

Besides earthly disasters, it can also bring tragedies such as falling from buildings or accidents in an earth environment, such as skiing, or injury in a mountain etc.

In 1997, the previous year of the Ox, Lady Diana died in car crash inside a tunnel which is very much enclosed in an earth environment. And in the same year, Gianni Versace was shot and he died on the pavement.

This is also an earth environment.

2008 was not a good year for airlines. Besides many plane crashes and other incidents, there was also the closing down of troubled airlines, problems in airports and the maintenance problems of American Airlines in early 2008 .

The airline business is in the category of fire element, so when fire element is absent, it will also weaken the airline business, causing accidents and problems.

This will continue in 2009 as this year of Ox also has no fire elements. We will continue to see trouble in the airline business and more airline related accidents. Such as the recent tragedies - Air France crash in the Atlantic and the Yemani Airlines crash near off the Comoros archipelago.

In 2008, the absence of fire element brought cooler weather and even snow storms.

2009 also has no fire element, so we can expect the cooling weather could continue with danger of severe snow storm and freezing weather again.

In recent years the imminent issue threatening the survival of human race is Global Warming. The polar ice caps have been melting at an alarming speed and there are forecasts that many coastal populated cities will be submerged by the year 2050.

In 2007 we have experienced dramatic climate changes and there will be more weather-related disasters.

The impact of Global warming didn’t slow down in 2008, with severe snow storms and hurricanes. The melting of Arctic and Antarctic ice will become more alarming. The heavy water elements of 2008 brought frustration.

The situation may improve in 2009, as the pure earth year symbolizes a garden of harmony and we might see signs of improvement and some recovery in the health of our planet.

Global warming is an issue concerning the whole human race and every one of us has the duty to take up effective measure to preserve our environment and support the move to reduce CO2 emission.

The global economy will begin to recover from the financial meltdown.

2009 is a year of opportunities with the emergence of many new global empires following the collapse of big names like Lehman Brothers.

Under the new administration of Barack Obama, the Wall Street stock market will recover faster than expected as Barack Obama enters his peak luck cycle.

We will see world major economies put aside their differences to overcome the financial crisis.

The full impact of the unison can be seen in the second half of 2009.

The property market will continue to recover as 2009 is the year of earth.

Employment statistics will improve as United States’ job market bounce back from the financial meltdown.

This will in turn lead to an improvement of the world’s stock market.

However, many major corporations will also undergo restructuring or even a change in leadership.

Despite the recovery of stock market, some Asian economies will persist to slowdown.
