How is it revealed by saju of Recep Tayyip Erdogan?

By reading saju, we can reveal one’s true self. It is sometimes simply revealed by the characteristics of individual day masters, the heavenly stems of one’s birth day, and other times it requires a saju master’s insights in interpreting the whole structure of one’s saju.

By analyzing saju of global leaders, we are able to peel off certain secretive patterns according to their dispositions, ways of governing and current events. For instance, charismatic leaders, who are inclined to rule the nation by military force, are likely to have metal day masters as that represents guns and knives. In times of crisis, such as war, their leadership becomes more effective and may accelerate national development. The saju of Park Chung-hee, the authoritarian president of Korea who ruled from 1961 to 1979, and Admiral Yi Sun-sin a Korean naval commander of Joseon Dynasty during the Imjin War (1592-98) are examples. Whereas, some spiritual leaders have day masters of either fire (especially yang fire) or water (especially yin water). Throughout history, leaders with a yang fire day master have manifested peculiar domination. Adolf Hitler, Nelson Mandela and Vladimir Putin have this yang fire day master.

Meanwhile, the day master of yin water also displays uncommon leadership but different from that of the yang fire. Moon Sun-myung, the founder and leader of the Unification Church, Mother Teresa and Dalai Lama are examples. As exemplified, they are respected leaders of various religions.

At the same time, some political leaders who’ve lived or are living unusual lives also have this yin water day master, as shown in the saju of Korea’s fifth president Chun Doo-hwan and Turkey’s current president Recep Tayyip Erdogan. How can we explain the difference between the latter, known for their brutal military regimes, and the former, religious leaders? The answer can be explained by the career stars, elements that restrict the day master. The latter case reveals significant career stars in their saju.

In the saju of Erdogan, the prevailing energy is wood and fire and it flows toward earth. For the water day master, the earth element represents a career star, which can also be translated as authority and power. When the career star, especially with the same yin or yang as the day master, is positioned in one’s saju and strengthened by money stars, one can become authoritative, even oppressive. This inclination becomes more apparent for the yin water day master.

The fire element represents a money star and the water day master obviously regards it as a useful energy in the saju of Erdogan. It can be explained by looking back into his past. Most significant political career changes took place in the years of fire or fire trines, such as when he became mayor of Istanbul (1994), prime minister (2003) and president (2014).

By the way, his monthly branch (yang wood) clashes with the zodiac sign (monkey, metal element) of 2016, as if the wood is chopped by the metal axe. It implies serious turbulence in his public status, affecting national support. Interestingly, the monthly branch is a void letter for his saju, so the clash doesn’t impact his life drastically but it is rather associated with cyberspace such as SNS.
