Earthquake, flood, cyclone, tornado, fire, oil, war, housing problems, economy crisis have been happening around the world in 2008. Typhoon and hurricane season are coming. Many natural hazard we cannot predict and prevent when they will arrive. However, Chinese astrology tells us something. If something lucky is happening on you, you should stay clam. If something bad has occurred on you, then you still have hope this year. 2008 is an intangible, but predictable year.
2008 is the year of Brown Rat. Brown is equivalent to Earth in Chinese Astrology Five Element theory. The element in Rat is Water. Earth and Water are opposite elements. They have conflicting relationship and are hard to see them coexisting.
Chinese astrology analyzes Five Elements (Metal, Water, Wood, Fire and Earth) from people's birth chart, then determine a Lucky Element for the person. To predict people's fortune is based on the Lucky Element. Usually, if a person's Lucky Element is Earth, then the Water is an unlucky element. If the Lucky Element is Water, then Earth is the unlucky element.
If Earth or Water is equivalent to the Money Star, then the person's money luck in 2008 should be "money comes, then money goes" or "money goes, then comes". If Earth or Water is the Career Star, then career opportunity either come early or come late in 2008. If Earth or Water represent health, then the heath will be either good or bad, however it will be the opposite at the end of the year. In short, everybody will win some but lose some in 2008. The simple prediction for 2008 is at Yearly Five Elements and Events page.
