Cuba


Cuba is another case that many people are wondering about.
What will happen when Fidel Castro passes away?
When?

Fidel Castro came into power when his rebel forces took the capital in January 1959, in what is known as the Cuban revolution.

Since the Chinese New Year is around February 4th in the solar calendar, we consider this as still part of 1958.
In the cycle starting 1924 this is the #34 year.




















The most recent important year for Cuba was #77 in this diagram.

That was year 2001.

Although there was no major change in the country, it was a year that Cuba improved its foreign relationships significantly.

It created better ties with the European Union, and it was the first time in almost 40 years it received shipment of food from the United States.

The next candidate year for major change in Cuba is #86.

So that would be year 2010.

North and South Korea

North and South Korea were split in 1953 as a result of the Korean war.
The situation has remained difficult ever since.
When a change can be expected?
1953 was a #29 year in the cycle that started with 1924 Jia Zi year:




















The most recent year that was square to the #29 start year is #78
That is year 2002 in this cycle.
It was the year that president Bush publicly branded North Korea as an “axis of evil” nation.
It has only isolated North Korea even further, but not improved their relationships.

The next year that offers good chances for change will be #88, so that is 2012.
It could also be late #87, 2011, as we can see that the line passes almost between the two.
We will watch the news.

Taiwan

Taiwan is the continuation of the Republic of China, which was established in 1911, when the last dynasty of Chinese emperors was overthrown.
So we can use 1911 as starting point to find some important years for Taiwan.
1911 is in the cycle that started with 1864 Jia Zi year.
So it was the #47 year in that cycle:




















After the Chinese government lost the civil war on the mainland it fled to Taiwan in 1949.
1949 is #85 in this cycle.
However, in the first years the situation was very unclear and it was not expected to last long.
Then the USA got involved in the Korean war and suddenly found it useful to protect Taiwan.
In 1952, Japan dropped its claims to the Taiwanese territory, which it had occupied for decades.

This paved the way for Taiwan to move forward on its own.
1952 is the #88 in this diagram, it was a very decisive year for them.
We see #88 again nicely on the square line to the 1911 starting year (#47)
#141 is another important year.

This was 2005, the year of strong pro-independence forces in Taiwan, but the path to independence was being blocked by mainland China, as we already mentioned above.
Interesting here is how the diagrams for mainland and for Taiwan both point to this year 2005.

The next potentially very important year will be #153, that is to be 2017
Some users of Gann's Square of Nine also use the semi-square (45 degree) angles, once it gets further from the center of the diagram.
In this case that would point to #147 , year 2011, as another possible year of great change for Taiwan.

Communist China


Now let's take a look at some interesting examples that are still ongoing news.

People's Republic of China was established in 1949, after the communist party was victorious in the Chinese civil war.

In the cycle of 1924 this is the year #25

Let's see if we can use this number to find pivotal years in the history of communist China:





















We will start with #65, which is opposite the #25 starting event point for communist China.

It is the year 1989, which was the Tiananmen Square protests and violent crackdown of the pro-democracy movement.

What we see here is interesting and important to remember.

East Germany had the same number as communist China, both started in 1949 , a #25 year.

So they also have the same years when major events and changes are likely.

But in East Germany the year 1989 was the fall of the Berlin Wall and then soon reunification, a happy event for most.

In China the year 1989 marked the violent crackdown of the very same energies.

It makes us clear the weakness of this method.

While it is quite good at pointing out important years, this method does not tell us if to be expected events will be “good” or “bad”, “happy” or “sad”..

For that purpose we need to carefully watch the events in the years leading up to the pivotal year, and try to bring in other astrological techniques to read the quality of expected events for that year.

Next important year, square to #25, was the #73

That is 1997 in this cycle, and was the year that Hong Kong was given back to China.

Clearly a quite significant year for China.

Next one , conjunct to #25, was the year #81

That was 2005. Not so much happened, but it was the year of massive pro-independence manifestations in Taiwan.

Mainland China stopped it by implementing their “Anti-secession Law” , which made clear that they had no plans to give up the one-China policy. Since then relations with Taiwan have reportedly warmed, but without really solving the issue.

Next one will be year #91. So that is coming year 2015.

It is too early to tell what changes that year could bring to the Chinese, so we just watch..
