Ba Zi study for Ameriacan Election 2024
Note: This is not a political post. It’s merely a case study for Ba Zi study/Chinese astrology.
2024 the wood dragon year has been a year of big change for the world. The American elelection has gone through lots of up and downs. The candidates have been changed from Joe Biden vs Donal Trump to Kamala Harris vs Trump. The election date is 5th November 2024. It’s getting close, less than three months away.
From Chinses astrology, a person to win the election needs to have three types of luck: 天 Heavenly luck, 地 Earth Luck , 人 Human Luck. They need to be the right time, right place, and the right people.
Chinese astrology is also called Ba Zi 八字 (Eight Characters, or Four Pillars of destiny). It comes from our year, month, day and hour of birth. It tells our heavenly luck.
In this article, we are going to have a look at the two candidate’s Ba Zi, to see who has more heavenly luck.
First, we have a look the former president Donald Trump’s Ba zi. From research, he was born in 1946, June 14th, around 10am.
| Trump Male, Gua 9 | Year | Month | Day | Hour |
| Heavenly Stem | 丙 Fire | 甲 Wood | 己 Earth | 己 Earth |
| Earthly Branch | 戌 Dog (Earth) | 午 Horse (Fire) | 未 Sheep (Earth) | 巳 Snake (Fire) |
Donald Trump was born in the year of fire dog. His day master is Yin Earth. From his Bazi, he was born in the month of wood and fire. From the earthly branch, the four animals contain strong fire and earth. The element combination is very unbalanced. There are four earth, three fire, and one wood. Metal and Water elements are missing. Wood supports fire, fire supports earth, the earth element is excessivly strong. Earth stands for trust, however, when the element is extremly strong and out of balance, sometimes people can perform the opposite side of its nature. He needs more metal and water element to obtain more balance. This type of Bazi often have lot of success and failure depends on the the luck eras and the external environment. His current luck era ( from 78 to 88) is 壬寅 water and wood. He is experiencing water and wood luck. Water represents his wealth, wood represents his power. These are good elements for him. In the fire period (from 2024 to 2023), the fire element is strong. It is his unfavourable element, it is not helpful to the election, it also has a negative impact on his health.
2024 is a wood dragon year, dragon clashes dog. It’s a very challenging and turbulant year for him. The feng shui fire period also starts from this year and will last for twenty years, It’s not helping him. This explains the unforturnate event: attempted assassination on July 13th 2024. The positive element from the dragon year are wood (his power) and the dragon is a storage of water (his wealth). These are pluses for his election. For him to gain more advantage for the election, he needs more right actions (metal) and to build finance (water) for the country.
Kamala Harris was born on 1960, Oct 20th. Time unknown, but from her past life, it could be between 11am to 1pm, the fire hour. This hour give her a wealth formation to support power and achievement.
| Kamala Female, Gua 6 | Year | Month | Day | Hour |
| Heavenly Stem | 甲 Wood | 甲 Wood | 壬 Water | 丙 Fire |
| Earthly Branch | 辰 Dragon (Earth) | 戌 Dog (Earth) | 寅 Tiger (Wood) | 午 Horse (Fire) |
Kamala was born in the year of wood dragon. Her day master is Yang Water. Her day master is weak, surrounded by wood (her creativity), fire (wealth) and earth (power). The year pillar and month pillar are clashing each other, indicates unstable life in her early life. She grew up in a broken family, parents divorced when she was seven years old, and lot of movement. In general, a weak day master with a lot of power element is not a good ba zi. Chinese bazi terminology for power element is called 七煞 Seven Killings (the warrior). This star represents pressure, responsibilty, violence, strange charactor, misterious illness. However, there is an element that can control the seven killings and turn it to good use, and bring great power. That star is called 食神 Eating God, or 伤官 Hurting Officer. It is a creative, and intelligent star, represented by wood element in her chart. Kamala’s chart has three woods, taking care of all the seven killings, turning them into power. These explains why she was able to become an attorney of California, and then Vice President.
2024 is a year of wood Dragon, it is her own fate year, she is experiencing great changes. The road is bumpy and full of challenges. Her current luck era (54 to 64) is earth dragon, the extra dragon adds on more difficulties and confrontation for this year. New opportunity rises from the challenge. The fire period is more favourable for women.
Overall, Kamala has better heavenly luck than Trump. For her to win the election, she needs to draw deep into true wisdom, to empower herself, to make good policy to benefit the general public and to win the hearts of the citizens.
