Barack Obama was born on the Earth Snake
day in the Wooden Sheep month of the
Metal Cow Year. The Day Stem (Day
Master) represents the person. Therefore, the
Brown Earth
represents
Obama himself. Snake is in Fire group, and also contains Earth. Sheep and Cow
are in Earth group. Fire is the Supporting element of Earth. Fire and Earth
together are stronger than all other elements. That means Earth is very strong
in the birth chart. We can say that Obama has a strong personality and good health.
From the Five Element scores, we can see that he scores of Earth is too high, so Earth is an unlucky element. Fire is the mother element of Earth, it can help Earth more powerful. Hence, Fire is another unlucky element. Metal can release the energy of Earth. Water can extinguish Fire. Wood (tree) can break through the Earth (ground). Therefore, Water, Wood and Metal are Obama's lucky elements.

Chinese astrology is talking about Five Elements. In general, Cow, Sheep, Dog and Dragon are Earth. To be more accurate,
Cow contains Yin Metal, Yin Earth, Yin Water. From the Five Stars theory, we know that
The Five Stars can be distinguished by Yin and Yang, and are derived into 10-God relationships. |
|
Food Star on the top of
Friend Star in the Year Column implies Obama had parent's protection during the
early age and possibly become a step son.
Evil Star on the top of
Friend Star in the Month Column implies he has to take care the trouble from
siblings, friends and relatives.
Female
Metal of Year Column and
Female Wood of Month Column have fight relationship. Plus, 
Cow in Year Column and 
Sheep in Month Column have fight relationship. This means Obama didn't have a
peaceful childhood. Also, he needs to defense and fight for his integrity during
his life.
Cow,
Sheep, Snake,
Metal,
Wood and
Earth are female. That means the inside of Obama is closed to Yin (dark) side
more. He always keeps his own secret. People cannot know any plan in his mind completely.
Metal can make Obama famous. It will happen during 
Monkey
and 
Chicken cycles.
can bring him career power. That will happen during 
Rabbit and 
Tiger cycles.
In short, Wood represents career to Obama. Metal represents his reputation. Water represents his money, father and women. Earth represents his friends or siblings. Fire represents his supporters. Since Fire and Earth is an unlucky element, so Fire also represents bad reputation and Earth also represents spending money.

Update August 29, 2008 - Obama's Birth Certificate
On August 28, Obama accepted Democratic Presidential nomination with Hillary Clinton's support. A friend told us that Barack Obama's Birth Certificate was shown on my.barackobama.com. The certificate shows his birth time was at 7:24 PM on August 4, 1961. The birth place is at Honolulu, Hawaii, which longitude is W157.52 degree. 7:24 PM is the Hawaii Standard Time of west longitude 150 degree time. After longitude time adjustment (1 degree is 4 minutes), the local birth time becomes 6:55 PM. If we consider about the true solar time, the true local birth time is about 6:49 PM. 1961 is not a daylight saving time year. We assume the birth certificate is real, the correct birth chart is
When Cow, Snake and Chicken meet in the birth chart, they have very strong
attraction relationship into Metal. This makes Day Master
Female Earth weak. The only element to support Day Master is the Sheep. But the
strong Metal relationship also weakens the Sheep Earth. Plus, Sheep Earth is
under controlled by Female Wood on its top. Without strong Fire supporting
element in the birth chart, Day Master
Earth becomes too weak. In Chinese Astrology, this birth
chart is called a "Fake Extremely Weak" case. The interesting point is that the
lucky elements are still the same as other birth times 7:11PM and 9:00PM. Water, Metal and Wood
are the lucky elements. Water is money, Wood
is career and Metal is reputation.
Cow Earth, Snake Fire and Chicken Metal relationship tells us that Obama is good at bringing friends (Earth) and supporter (Fire) together into popularity (Metal). He always has many ideas in his mind, because Metal is something out of Earth. All elements and animals in his birth chart are female (Yin). That means he trends to keep some secrets from the public. The strong Metal (reputation) makes stronger Water (money). Wood is not strong enough, career doesn't bring him too much pressure. His birth chart is afraid of Fire - especially the Horse. Horse can bring Snake and Sheep together into strong Fire relationship to destroy the Metal relationship from Chicken, Snake and Cow combination. Luckily, he had suffered that miserable time during the first Major Cycle Wooden Horse before 1981.
Obama's birth chart shows earning money is easier to him than stepping up career position. The Wood career appearing his Major 10-year Cycles is from 2001 to 2020. 2008 is Earth Rat year, there is no Wood in three. It's not so easy for him to become the next US president. He needs to fight for it to get it. Because Water can help Wood stronger, the chance for him to win the US presidential race is determined by the Water money. The money luck in monthly cycles become critical.
We would like to briefly review his monthly astrological cycles of 2008 in the Barack Obama vs. Hillary Clinton page over here again.
