By Janet Shin
One of the most frequently questions asked of me, a saju master, is who will be the next president. It has been even more persistent considering the presidential elections this year.
2012 is called the Year of the Black Dragon, which repeats by every 60 years according to the saju sexagenary cycle. The dragon is an imaginary creature, representing a symbol of divinity. In

the Orient, it emblematized emperors so its designs were embroidered and gilded on royal clothes and furniture since ancient dynastic period. Considering this traditional philosophy, this year seems destined to be one of supreme power.
It has always been a serious issue for me, or for other fortune tellers to study grounds for any important social and historical issues by analyzing saju or reading the faces of people involved and the feng shui of any relevant locations. It is burdensome to foretell the winner of elections, divulging profound secrets, but it is not easy to avoid the tempting curiosity to know, at the same time.

Mitt Romney
During a saju lesson with a Canadian friend, we talked about the U.S. presidential election. She asked me if I had compared saju of Barack Obama and that of Mitt Romney. I said I hadn’t because I predicted Obama’s victory and it wasn’t necessary to compare them to forecast that. In a moment, I realized I should have been more careful as it was about a matter of great consequence. What made me conclude that Obama would take the presidency one more time?
Which attributes do leaders possess?
From the perspective of specialists in socio-politics and history, there can be many criteria to appraise leadership. However, with regards to saju, those conventional conditions don’t have to be evaluated. They rather interfere with a saju master’s judgment.
Traditionally, people’s saju are divided broadly into two types - the pursuit of wealth and that of honor. In other words, people are destined to pursue either a rich or noble life. Of course, some attain both of them and others achieve none. Ordinary people just manage mingle-mangle lives. In general, fame is usually followed by money and vice versa.
There are five stars in saju readings as if there are five elements in the universe, with which we infer one’s lifestyle, human and social relations and propensity.
● Friend stars: Parallel energy
● Expression star: Output
● Money star: Wealth
● Career star: Power
● Knowledge star: Resource, Respect

Once saju is plotted, the first step is to figure out the major stream, whether it flows toward the expression and money cycle or to the career and knowledge cycle. The former usually chases wealth while the latter reputation. Theoretically, presidents, leaders and politicians ought to have the healthy energy of career and knowledge stars as their major atmosphere. Between the career and knowledge stars, the career star has been regarded more likely to lead to a king.
What is supplemented in contemporary politics is the presence of adversity in one’s early years and more focus on the knowledge star, representing respect. The knowledge star leads to people’s durable support, which is essential for reelection.
The saju of Barack Obama and Mitt Romney are as below.
Without a professional analysis, it is obvious that the saju of Obama shows the flow of career and knowledge stars while Romney’s has expression and money stars in its major stream. For Obama, the strongest element is fire, representing respect, on top of a clash between month and year branches. It implies hardships in his early days. On the other hand, Romney’s is more like a businessman’s. It is apparent that he has strong charisma, shown by his day master, yang metal. People with fortunate money stars are mostly efficient in their profession. They are also candid in presenting their opinions.
Historically, people believed that there must be god-sent qualifications to be king. In modern days, however, it is not as consecrated as before. Not just prestigious and natty saju but rather beaten and hardship-bearing ones may acquire more people’s confidence.
