Is it just a coincidence?

How can we find a probability from coincidence

The world where we live in is not free from accidents. Whether it is a personal or national hardship, or a natural disaster, we keep facing chain of accidents in our lives. For ordinary people, these are just considered sort of accidents. And I was also one of them.

From ancient days, some has tried to find correlations via thorough analysis of causes and effects. Saju is a study of the heaven and the earth in order to understand the destiny of humans. By decoding the heavenly and earthly signs, derived from one’s birth, and by analyzing the probabilities from specific accidents in one’s life, some scholars reached certain logical truth of saju study.

I was able to come at truth by continuous doubting and questioning why. By reading people’s saju on and on, especially those of who are on the winding life path, I couldn’t help agreeing the repeated truth of what’s happening in our lives.

There indeed are certain clues once you pay just a bit more attention than usual. It may be sensuous or intuitive, but many times I found it very logical.

Let’s see, for example, what is happening this year. 2011 is the year of yin wood, or the year of rabbit. A simple but basic saju theory is the clash of rabbit and chicken, which is generated by the discord between yin wood and yin metal. Accordingly, what we need to confirm is whether there is any yin metal element in our saju, as it will be assaulted by yin wood of 2011.

The most recent saju cases were Osama bin-Laden, who was born in 1957, the year of yin metal (chicken). He was born with yin metal day master and his root was damaged by this year’s energy. In the saju of Strauss-Kahn, the yin metal energy was his power (career star), which was also smitten.

Chae Dong-ha, a former member of SG Wannabe, Korean famous boy band was found dead just a few days after the death report of Song Jee-seon, MBC Sports Plus anchorwoman. And another death incident of a former professional football player, Jung Jong-kwan, was reported this week. They all committed suicide whether by the suspected charges of manipulating match outcomes, depression or gossips. They were all born in 1981, the year of rabbit. Is it just a coincidence?

Here is a saju of Eun Jin-soo, who was a former auditor at the Board of Audit and Inspection but arrested for corruption-ridden scandals.

Eun was also among the representing attorneys to President Lee Myung-bak and later joined Lee’s presidential transition team as a legal adviser. This life story sounds like a collapse with sudden scandal. We may find some clue from his saju too.

Eun was born with yin water day master. Having strong metal energy in month and day branches, he has great pride in himself. Knowledge and reputation is the most important indicator in his life to maintain. Therefore the ruining of his reputation would mean a lot. This year, both the metal element in his saju and the wood element of 2011 were damaged. The metal element is his knowledge star (reputation) and the wood element is his expression star.

Saju with metal and water as a major stream indicates worthy license, knowledge and self-pride. This also suggests financial flow and it is not a big surprise that his previous profession was related with banking.

While we watch the condition of yin metal element this year, it was yang metal (monkey) and yang wood (tiger) last year (2010) that were in danger. And the year 2009 was ominous for national leaders, as there were deaths of the country’s first Roman Catholic cardinal, Stephen Kim Sou-hwan, the former Presidents Roh Moo-hyun and Kim Dae-jung. The further has been confirmed through our history.
