Recently there was a lot of public concern about the doomsday theory surrounding the Mayan calendar. There is speculation that devastating global disaster will occur about the date of winter solstice on 21/12/2012.

This theory is publicized in the Hollywood movie 2012 and caused more alarms. In this movie John Cusack met a man in the Yellow Stone Park and this man claimed such doomsday prediction was found in the Bible, in the Mayan calendar, and in the I Ching.

The relationship between the I Ching and 2012 is publicized in a book called The Invisible Landscape: Mind, Hallucinogens and the I Ching and is written by Terence McKenna who died in 2000.

In his book he was inspired by the 64 hexagram arrangements in King Wen’s I Ching (Book of Change). In the I Ching King Wen has a special sequence in arranging the order of the 64 Hexagrams; putting them in the order with Heaven (The Creative) and Earth (the Receptive) as first and second Hexagrams.

After going through the 64 Hexagrams which are arranged in 32 pairs it ends with the final pairs of Water on Fire (After Completion) and Fire on Water (Before Completion). This sequence is taken to represent different stages of development of the world from the beginning with Heaven and Earth to the end with Fire on Water.

Inspired by this sequence McKenna assigned mathematical value to each of the 384 lines (jao) of the 64 Hexagrams and he came up with a curve which he claimed reflected the timing of important world events. Every peak and bottom point of the curve seems to coincide with an important stage in human civilization and he called this a Time Wave Theory.

Indeed it seems that if we translate the 384 lines of King Wen’s 64 Hexagrams into time, according to this theory, we will find the time interval between big events on earth.

His most significant point is that if we put the end date of the curve at 21/12/2012 then all the peak and bottom points of his curve match with significant events in human history. Hence he considers the date 21/12/2012 to be the ending day when the curve reaches the bottom.

As such the I Ching itself actually did not predict the world will end in 2012. At best one can only say it provided inspiration for McKenna to invent his Time Wave Theory. The original meaning of the last two Hexagrams; After Completion and Before Completion; do not imply the end of the world.

To the contrary it implies there is no ending, as the change is not yet completed. It is like many cyclical changes in nature as when one year’s four seasons finishes, another new years four seasons begins. So therefore this theory is inaccurate and it is certainly not fair to say that the 2012 doomsday is predicted in the I Ching.

Is there anything in the I Ching that can be associated with such end of the world ideas? I think the most relevant could be the ‘Supreme World Order Principles’ invented by Shao Yong of the Sung Dynasty.

Shao Yong also divided World Ages into 64 stages according to the King Wen sequence of 64 Hexagrams, but the number of years he assigned to each stage is very long.

According to his system our current time is only in the 8th Hexagram, Water on Earth (Holding Together), which altogether lasts 129,600 years.

Currently we are only in middle of this stage, with another 60,000 years before we finish this 8th Hexagram of Human civilization. (For more information on Shao Yong’s theory readers can refer to my article I Ching and 2012 on my website www.raymond-lo.com).

So 2012 is definitely not even near the end of the world.

However the winter solstice date of 21/12/2012 is a day with a strong presence of powerful water elements.

Date – 21/12/2012 Hour – 1913


Hour Day Month Year
戊 丙 壬 壬
Earth Fire Water Water
戌 辰 子 辰
Earth Earth Water Water


The combination of elements on this day shows powerful water as well as Dragon and Dog clash and it will not be surprising if earthquake and flooding occur. However there is absolutely no indication that this day will be the end of the world.

In 2012, the Feng shui flying star number 6 is in the centre and symbolizes the metal element which relates to the breathing organ, the father, heaven and the law.

This centre number also often reflects the focus of prevailing events for the year, so it will not be surprising if the 6 in the centre brings about more epidemics in 2012 such as flu and viruses affecting the brain and breathing organs.

6 also relates to the law, the government and the father figure. It is a year of elections and as such will certainly bring about changes in many governments throughout the world.

Regarding flying star Feng shui, the current twenty year period from 2004 to 2024 is called ‘Age of 8’ and this number 8 represents the Trigram of Mountain and is also a symbol of young children.

Therefore since stepping into the Age of 8 in 2004 it seems there are more disasters and misfortune affecting children. The latest incidents include the big earthquake in China in 2008 which killed a lot of school kids and also the disaster of contaminated baby milk powder which caused serious kidney stone problem to many children.

In 2011 the famous Jasmine Revolution brought about big changes in North Africa, riots in the United Kingdom and the massacre of young people in Norway. These are all examples of the types of problems affecting young people which are most prominent during the Age of 8.

The number 8 (representing children) will remain present in the centre of the flying star chart during the 20 years from 2004 to 2024, so it is always important to pay attention to the safety and well being of children in this Period of 8.

With regard to the economy, the fire element is often the driving force behind the stock market.

The five elements also affect people’s mood. In general fire is joy, water is fear, earth is meditation, metal is sadness, and wood is anger.

As such a fire year often generates optimism and drives up the stock market, such as in 2006 and 2007. However in 2008 the water arrived and obviously people began to have fear regarding the worsening of the USA sub-prime and following recession.

In 2009 there was pure earth on earth. The earth element stopped the water and also symbolized meditation. So it means people will be conservative and play safe, but gain more stability.

In 2010 the Tiger carried the seed of fire element and so there was a substantial economic recovery with stronger optimism beginning in the spring season. There was a short setback with the economic crisis in Greece and Portugal in late spring, but with summer fire coming in May the stock market recovered with strong momentum.

In 2011 the Rabbit is pure wood. However it is not as strong as the Tiger in generating fire, so the economy was not as fast moving as the previous year. There was also strong summer fire supported by wood in 2011, so the stock market continued to be vibrant and active in the first half of 2011.

In August when autumn arrived and there was no more fire support, a serious setback then occurred in the second half of 2011.

With strong water coming in 2012 we must be wary of more setbacks.

As the coming year is water and earth with a continual absence of fire element, this could mean that the economic activities and stock market will further slow down.

The strong water in the year is also likely to create the mood of water (which is fear) and people will therefore be less optimistic.

This will become more serious in the winter months of October and November when the economic crisis in certain European countries may deepen and cause downturn in the global economy and stock market.

Investors should enter a cautionary period, especially in the second half of 2012.
