U.S. president Donald Trump visited South Korea for two days and delivered his speech at the National Assembly. It reaffirmed the two nations’ relations, delivering the message of “peach through strength.”
On top of the officially addressed memorandum, it would be intriguing to see how the fate of relationship between President Moon Jae-in and Trump reveals the different angle of their compatibility. It is because of the aggravated tension with the continued threats and counter-threats between Trump and North Koran leader Kim Jong-eun.
In addition, Moon met Chinese president Xi Jinping during his visit to Southeast Asia for APEC meetings. Owing to the state of tensions caused by military provocation from North Korea, laser-like attention has been raised from global eyes on the situations here in the Korean Peninsula.
It is the relationship among Moon, Trump and Xi, the presidents of the three countries that may yield the key to solving this critical and complicated situation.
First of all, how about the saju compatibility between Moon and Trump? Reading the saju of Moon, he was born with the energy of yin wood in the month of winter while Trump was born with the energy of yin earth in summer time.
When we compare their day masters in terms of the yin, yang and five element harmony, two are compatible because one is wood, the other is earth, one is cold the other is hot. When the saju of two are complementary, we may appraise they are compatible, or good ``gunghap’’ in Korean.
In addition to the climatic comparison, Moon’s saju has abundant water energy while Trump’s is droughty. Yin wood people are flexible while earth people, especially Trump’s saju, portray a stubborn person. Trump will be more insistent in pursuing his goal. Moon can be flexible but he also has inner strength once we read his saju in depth.
Then how about the saju relationship between Moon and Xi? Saju of Chinese president Xi has yin water day master born in summer. When we compare the environmental aspects of the two, they are also compatible because one remedies the other’s shortcomings.
Xi can be more amicable toward Moon. However, Xi’s saju tells us that he is not as what is seen on surface. His inner-self can be totally different from his external appearance so Moon must be very careful when he makes an important deal with Chinese president.
