Feng Shui Masters of Hong Kong say that the year of the Snake (2013 by the western reckoning and 4711 by Chinese)will be a time of great upheaval. In June/July the stock market will crash. In and around May 9th the EU will fall into two groups, with states leaving and forming another league. There will be war between China and Japan—a naval war, and there will be natural disasters—from earthquakes to floods and tidal waves. In USA there will be riots and unrest in the last half of the year. This is according to Chinese astrology. I sure hope its wrong.
All of those things do sound likely, don’t they?
Sounds to me that the stars only factor into the prediction insofar as things are headed south and then use your imagination. The rest reads like guess work based on a reading of current events. “Around May 9,” which may be broadly interpreted, is the only specific thing. That a war between China and Japan involve a significant naval component is a no-brainer, unless the Chinese have learned to talk on water.
