The United States was reborn in 2016. Why I said that?
The country was founded on July the 4th, 1776. It was 240 years ago from 2016. America has survived four sixty years since 1776. According to Chinese Lunar Calendar, sixty years is a cycle of the combinations of the ten Heavenly Stems (天干) and the twelve Earthly Branches (地支), because the least common multiple of ten and twelve is sixty. Chinese use Bazi, eight characters of the Stems and the Branches to represent a certain moment on the Lunar Calendar.
(Bazi when America was founded in 1776. The date on the chart shows July 2, because China and America are in different time zones. We also considered the adjustment caused by the leep months before 1900.)
The Bazi of Independence Day of 2016 was exactly the same as the combinations of the eight characters of July the 4rd, 1776 when Declaration of Independence was signed. The July of 1776 was a revolutionary month, so was the July of 2016 when American citizens elected a presidential candidate during the Republican National Committee (RNC) who’s different from the previous candidates and tried to challenge the establishment. So what will happen next?
(2016 was a new cycle for America. The Bazi of Independence Day of 2016 was exactly the same as 1776’s.)
Based on the theory of Bazi and its Five Elements principle, America was founded on the day of Fire, Donald Trump the day of Earth. Fire produces Earth, so America made today’s rich Trump and he was elected as the candidate in the Fire month–July. 甲, giant wood in Trump’s Bazi representing his leadership is the fuel to the Fire (the country).
Trump’s giant wood only means he has the will to make America great again, but will the country bear such a large amount of fuel in 2017?
(President-elect Donald Trump’s Bazi)
2016 was a good year for Trump, but not for the country. America was divided by the polar political stances caused by the Presidential Election. In 2017, Trump won’t be as lucky as in 2016. He may make a series of little troubles, but since luck is still on his side, both he and the country will be fine. The domestic tension will ease up a lot, but small scaled violent conflicts may happen.
Americans don’t have to worry about the leaders declaring wars on other countries, because 2017 is another Fire year. In 2022 and 2023, the years of Water, the country may be involved in wars due to the financial reason.
2017 is a critical year for the Trump administration to implement new policy to recover its economy. In 2018, new technology will probably appear and cause another crisis of unemployment. However, it will make a lot of new jobs.
Donald Trump should listen to others’ suggestion about the economy in 2018 and 2019. The two years of Earth is likely to cause him too assertive and worsen the economy of the country.
Business people believe luck very much. Hopefully, the Trump administration will have good luck in the following four years and Americans more money in their pockets.
