The news of JFK Jr.'s plane missing on Friday 17th July 1999 was
as shocking to the world as the fatal accident
of Princess Diana two years ago. It is an excellent exercise for astrologers. JFK Jr. was born on
25th November 1960 at 00:22 in Washington DC. His Four Pillars are:
His Luck Pillars are:
He was born in a season of weak Fire. The Snake in the Day Branch appears to provide him with root.
However, the Snake and the Pig clash, and the Pig (Water) is the obvious winner. This is because
Water controls Fire and the month of birth indicates strong Water and weak Fire. This eliminates the root of Fire.
The -Fire on the Month Pillar will also be considered having no root. Water is the dominating element. It is further
enhanced by a lot of Metal. The Day Master is extremely weak and it has to follow Power for survival. Since there
is no Water on the stems, and since there is a clashed Snake in a branch, it is not a "Real Follow Power Type" of
chart. We call such a chart the "Fake Follow Power Type".
For a Follow Power Type, the useful element is Power, and Wealth is also favorable. In this case, Water is most
useful for JFK Jr., Metal is favorable. Since he has to follow Water, he has to give up his own identity - Fire. Fire
and Wood will be unfavorable to him because these help to restore his own identity.
The difference between a Real Follow Type and a Fake Follow Type is that for a Fake Follow Type,
when the unfavorable elements come in a ten year period or a year, a month or a day, it is dangerous,
not just less lucky. If it is serious, it may be life threatening.
For a Follow Power Type of person, the best way of life is to seek power and enter into politics.
Unfortunately, JFK Jr. decided not to. This may be due to the fact that his type is Fake Follow Power
and he does not want to follow power really. This is against Heaven Luck.
Let us examine his Luck Pillars. Before this, let us see what his Month Pillar indicates. The month
pillar is also called the Parents Palace. Fire on the Stem is unfavorable but Water in the branch is
favorable although it also contains Wood that is unfavorable to him. This has a strong indication that
he could not get his love from one of his parents, and this is most probably his father. His mother loves
him but part of her energy is given to the Wood in the same branch. This fits the scenario. His father,
President John F. Kennedy was assassinated when the Junior was only three. His mother raised him
but she remarried and devoted part of her love to her new husband.
His first luck pillar +Earth Rat is quite favorable, as water is good for him. Earth that represents his
intelligence and performance is also favorable. His childhood is, after all, not bad. He was loved by a
lot of people and they treated him like a prince.
His second luck pillar -Earth Ox is even better. This is because the branches Pig and Rat in his four
pillars combine with the Ox to form the North direction combination. It is a very strong Water combination.
These were his happy years.
His third luck pillar +Metal Tiger is half-good and half-bad. The stem +Metal is favorable. The branch
contains his unfavorable elements Wood and Fire. Fortunately, the Tiger combines with the Pig in his
month branch and did not bring him anything too evil. It hinders his performance but it is at least not
dangerous.
The real danger comes in the luck period from 34 to 43. The -Metal is still favorable. He may be doing
all right in the beginning of this period. The branch Rabbit is purely Wood. It is dangerous. He is lured
away from Power, which he has to follow. Probably his wife Carolyn is also
Fire and he is attracted back to recover his own identity. He may give up seeking power. This is dangerous.
In fact, he has abandoned the idea of getting into politics. This puts him back to his own chosen path.
Let us see what happened on 17th July 1999. The three pillars are:
The Goat and Rabbit combine with the Pig in his month branch to form a
Wood Frame. This is detrimental. Although the stems are all favorable, the Wood Frame combination also
breaks the bond between the Pig and the Snake. The Snake is set free and this restores his identity being
a Fire person assisted by another Fire on the month stem. The Horse is also unfavorable and destroys the
Metal above. We can expect real danger, and it is life threatening. The tragic accident is no coincidence.
