Sexual issues are frequently raised these days from various sectors of American society. Harvey Weinstein, a noted film producer who founded Miramax, producing several popular films including “Shakespear­e in Love,” was involved in numerous allegation­s of sexual harassment and assault.

A sexual impulse, or inappropri­ate expression of sexual desire, is not just an individual psychologi­cal problem but may be associated with something else linked to personal life history and social structural issues.

In saju reading, one’s sexual inclinatio­n is portrayed by several aspects. First of all, we may read the condition of “expression stars,” the element that is generated by the day master and then the energy of water that is regarded to represent the propensiti­es related with sexuality and reproducti­ve systems including sperm and ovum.

For example, a woman consulted me over a fertility problem, as she was having trouble getting pregnant. By reading the saju of both husband and wife, it suggested the husband likely had a low sperm count. It was because the expression stars in the husband’s saju were damaged. Next day, the wife met her doctor, who advised her the infertilit­y was indeed caused by the husband’s low sperm count.

The expression star is translated as one’s pursuit of pleasure and happiness and regarded as an important factor to determine motivation and desire. When the expression star is healthy and plays an active role in one’s saju, the person is more probable to be passionate and vigorous in pursuing love and the objects of life. On the other hand, when it is damaged or conflictin­g with other elements, the inclinatio­n is often distorted or improperly practiced.

The next factor to determine sexual inclinatio­n is the energy of water. It is traditiona­lly regarded as the element related with sexual desire because the water element represents vital fluids, blood, lymph, semen, fat and pregnancy.

Reading the saju of Weinstein, born with the day master of yang wood element (green) in the month of wood, has a strong character. The yang wood day master, compared to other day masters, is straightfo­rward and success-oriented. The day master born in the month of same element is usually energetic and forceful showing his own dispositio­n as it is.

The peculiar feature in this saju is the water elements portrayed by the color black. He has three letters representi­ng water in his year, month and day pillars. This obviously indicates abundant water energy. Although the wood day master is strong enough to sustain in the flooding water, the water, representi­ng reputation, is not helpful. Especially the month wood branch, the root of the day master, clashes with the energy of 2017, the year of the rooster, causing dishonorab­le incidents.

The critical incident caused by the interactio­n between the coming year’s energy with the innate saju — on top of several components embedded with abundant water energy — was a major cause for the timing of Weinstein’s recent fall from grace.
