Chinese fortune tellers say it will be a good time to have a baby, but also
warn there will be an upsurge in epidemics, disasters and violent conflicts
across the world.
Pig years can be turbulent because they are
dominated by fire and water – two of the five elements that Chinese mystics say
are the basis of the universe, a Hong Kong feng shui master
said.
Conflicting elements
Since fire and water
are conflicting elements, they tend to whip up trouble, he said.
A
Malaysian feng shui master agreed with him, warning for epidemics and health
problems.
Predictions
One of the predictions for
this year is that the North Korean communist nation will undergo a power
struggle that will bring leadership changes around May.
Other
predictions include
the situation in Iraq will not settle, global economy continues to
grow, a Japanese city will be struck by an earthquake, US president Bush will
have a bad year and the next president of France will be a
lady.
Growth
Whatever the future will bring,
China is most likely to continue its growth.
At the treshold of this
new year in the Chinese calendar, the Shanghai Stock Exchange saw a staggering
112% growth last year.
No wonder, Chinese investors are hoping
the new Chinese year will be just as good.
