(108) Saju of Arnold Schwarzenegger
By Janet Shin
We will review more saju of worldwide politicians, in order to understand how saju influences one’s fate in determining life goals.
Once we comprehend the structure of one’s saju, we will be able to see what kind of life path the person is following. Saju provides certain clues to one’s environment, fields of interest and skills. If they are politicians, there will be hints in their saju that implies such, if they are businessmen, their intentions will be embedded in saju, telling of their fortunes.
The saju that we will review are predominantly of the successful, although some have gone, or are going through adversities. It will be interesting to find the patterns in saju that lead one toward a successful life. While roughly 1 percent of saju readings show fortune-filled lives with an almost perfect combination of energy flow, it is certainly not always the case. It is impossible for most people to enjoy smooth lives without any trials. Normally, even the most successful of people face times of trouble to achieve their success. Nearly all struggle with alternating laughter and tears in everyday life.
Here is the saju of Arnold Schwarzenegger, an actor, businessman and politician. He is currently the governor of California.
Schwarzenegger was once a bodybuilder who earned the title of Mr. Universe. He gained international fame in such Hollywood actions films as ``The Terminator,’’ which also led to his nickname the ``Governator.’’
His birthday is July 30, 1947.
With a day master of yang metal, he was born with a nature of great resolution. People with metal often want to receive recognition of greatness, and are loyal, heavy and taciturn. Yang metal is an unrefined metal, or a large mineral, and is decisive and direct.
Born in the month of fire and earth, Schwarzenegger was likely extremely disciplined from his youth. It would have been difficult to live so strictly, but the man had his own discipline and will.
With politicians, it is important to look at the condition of the career star. Fire energy denotes a career star for the metal day master, and it is obvious that his saju has a definitely career star structure ― due to the dominant fire energy in his saju.
When we evaluate one’s career star structure, we have to judge if the day master will be strong enough to handle restrictions from the career star.
In his saju, Schwarzenegger does not have any support from his friend star, as there is no other metal energy in other places of his saju. Instead, he has a strong knowledge star, which is an earth energy that generates metal.
As circled in the diagram, Schwarzenegger has the structure of the career-knowledge star. The career star supports the knowledge star, which in turn protects the metal day master.
He showed his talents from an early age, and the man pursued positions of respect and authority as he grew older.
Ironically, the career star, which stands for the power and reputation of a person, tends to restrict before it can empower the day master. If one is strong enough to handle the discipline imposed by the career star, one will be recognized as the proper power. This can be generated by one’s own strength or by the support of the knowledge star. Otherwise, one must be very talented (expression star) to control the career star. If not, one may become power hungry.
In 1966, the year of fire, he impressed one of the judges at the Mr. Universe competition, who offered to coach him.
In 1967, the year of fire and earth, he won the title, becoming the youngest ever Mr. Universe at the age of 20.
In 1968, the year of earth and metal, he moved to the United States. But he had difficulty in assimilating as his English was poor and there were violations in terms of his visa. The metal energy in the year of 1968 clashed with the wood of his time branch.
After struggling for some years as an actor, his breakthrough film, ``The Terminator,’’ was released in 1984, the year of wood and water (money and expression).
In 2003, the year of water and earth, he was elected the governor of California.
Some challenges can be seen between his knowledge stars of month and day branches, which could lead to a ruined reputation. However, Schwarzenegger, overall, gained his political career due to his strong resolutions.
