Welcome back to www.laurentlanglais.com and the Chinese metaphysics blog, where we talk about monthly Feng Shui, Bazi and world events. In this article we’ll explore what happened during the Snake month of May 2016 in regards to my Chinese astrology predictions, that you can find here.
In italic are excerpt of my previous article…First, let’s see if the natural disasters that I have announced have happened in May 2016.
The Chinese Snake month was one to approach with caution. Copyright: https://www.flickr.com/photos/ittybittiesforyou/
First, the big one. With the new Shell underwater oil incident in the Gulf of Mexico, my prediction of Fracking incident or oil spill at sea very likely this month has unfortunately been fulfilled to the letter.
http://www.theguardian.com/…/shell-gulf-of-mexico-oil-spill
In my predictions for this Monkey year I also wrote: “The economy of oil and its extraction (fracking, offshore etc.) are all over 2016. Why? Think about it: Yang Fire + Yang Water = oil, and with the Yang Earth and Yang Metal involved, it is about oil extraction and economy as well. An oil spill is not unlikely…”

For the rest…
Volcanoes erupting: those volcanoes are likely to be connected to the Water Element. Either on an island, close to the sea, underwater or covered by snow;
This predictions was fulfilled several time. First, with the spectacular eruption in Costa Rica of the Turrialba volcano which covered the capital San Jose in ashes.
http://www.bbc.com/news/world-latin-america-36348904
It also happened with the mount Sinabung in Indonesia in the 21st of May, an eruption that claimed several lives
The Mount Etna itself awakened during this Snake month

And finally 6 volcanoes erupted in the same 24 hours around the world on the 24th of May…
Six volcanoes erupt simultaneously around the world on May 24, 2016
I think we can agree that this prediction was well fulfilled!
What about the Tornadoes then? Tornadoes or hurricanes that might be off the chart;
From Wikipedia: The May 7–10, 2016 tornado outbreak was a significant four-day outbreak of tornadoes which spawned numerous tornadoes across the High Plains, central Midwest, and parts of the Ohio Valley.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/May_7%E2%80%9310,_2016_tornado_outbreak
Significant tornadoes occurred in Kansa, Oklahoma but also Brazil

http://video.couriermail.com.au/v/462139/BRAZIL-Tornado-Reported-Near-Sao-Paulo-Minor-Damaged-Caused-May-16
Localised floods;
The floods also happened is many location: Germany, UK, Sri Lanka, France…
http://reliefweb.int/disaster/fl-2016-000050-lka
http://www.itv.com/news/2016-06-02/several-dead-as-flash-floods-hit-france-germany-and-austria/
Eruption of violence in a month that is otherwise not too agitated, in form of a few isolated shouting and bombing.
This one was also spot on. It was not a major month for terrorism, but several outbreaks of localised violence emerged regularly during the month. There was a stabbing in Munich
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Munich_knife_attack
In Massassuchets
A few in London…
And some bombings too, unfortunately. In Dürümlü, Turkey
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/May_2016_D%C3%BCr%C3%BCml%C3%BC_bombing
In Yemen
http://www.theguardian.com/world/2016/may/15/suicide-bombing-yemen-islamic-state
In Baghdad
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/11_May_2016_Baghdad_bombings
Planes and boats will experience problems, possible crashes this month;
This one was also unfortunately spot on. In the last few days a boat with more than 800 refugees sunk and this news unfortunately received little coverage…
http://www.reuters.com/article/us-europe-migrants-shipwrecks-idUSKCN0YK0H5
There was a few small planes crashes but no big ones this month, which is reassuring. The Water/Fire clash affected boats more than planes this time…
Other objects could be falling from the sky: meteorites, satellites;
And so we go, there was a meteorite falling in Quebec during the Snake month!
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2016/05/21/meteorite-seen-flashing-across-the-skies-of-montreal/
The was also the discovery that “Tutankhamum’s knife was made from meteorite Iron!”
http://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-36432635
No satellites fell as far as I can see, but objects fell from the sky during May 2016 in Kent and it made for quite the news:
http://www.kentonline.co.uk/sheerness/news/mystery-flaming-object-plummets-from-96408/
Hacking of a large corporation or government agency;
Indeed! The mobile giant 51degrees was attacked this month
http://www.theregister.co.uk/2016/05/11/popular_uk_mobile_tech_firm_51degrees_hacked/
Linkedin also answered publicly for its 2012 data breach
http://www.theregister.co.uk/2016/05/19/linkedin_breach/
Bugs, again, for some high-tech brands;
Microsoft made the news for its Sleep of death bug on its Surface products and its decision to…Not fix it!
http://www.theregister.co.uk/2016/05/27/sleep_of_death_windows_10/
There was also a major bug for Itunes
iTunes Bug Could be the Cause of those Disappearing Music Libraries, not Apple Music
Scandals regarding some high figures exposed on the public place: think along the lines of very egotical people (Trump, Clinton, some presidents of hot countries and/or some CEO) in hot waters. More revelations in the lines of Panama papers, wikileaks etc. are possible this month;
There was a real galore of scandals exposed during this month! The sovereign funds of Malaysia exposed
Elijah Wood exposed the pedophilic culture of Hollywood
The Brazilian leader Michel Temmer in hot water for corruption:
https://uk.news.yahoo.com/brazils-acting-president-wins-deficit-plan-victory-125607483.html
Libetarian politican scandal in the UK
And evidence of electoral fraud from the Tory party, currently investigated, but which weirdly enough is seldom reported especially by the BBC…Go figure
But also a huge scandal with 4 US Cancer charity using 187 Millions of donations for luxury expenses!
https://www.rt.com/usa/260117-ftc-fraud-cancer-charities/
Weird month for the diplomacy: one step forward, two steps backward type of scenario.
It was a difficult month for Cameron in regards to the elections and possible Brexit
http://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-32912526
It has also been difficult on the Syrian front
http://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2016/may/11/diplomatic-breakthrough-syria-war
Heated debates on genders and discrimination in some states (USA)
More debates in regard to religion and possible scandals.
Possible advance in women rights, most notably by some religion or inside religious countries. Possible reforms talked about priesthood for women etc.
The infamous bathroom bills laws continue to make some waves this month, but moreover the Pope Francis opened to possibility for women to become deacons in the Catholic church.
http://religionnews.com/2016/05/13/pope-francis-women-deacons/
There was also some feminist talk against Pakistan and the censorship of an article on sex and women..
http://www.theguardian.com/world/2016/may/09/pakistan-criticised-muslim-women-sex-mona-eltahawy
Let’s not forget the “heelgate” scandal, about this working woman sent back home for not wearing high heels…
https://www.premier.org.uk/News/UK/Christian-campaigner-calls-heelgate-scandal-unacceptable
But the big one was the religious scandal of the Catholic church and pedophilia exposed in France
http://religionnews.com/2016/05/20/prominent-french-priest-and-vatican-adviser-accused-in-sex-scandal/
Moreover, heated debates in India on gender pay inequality:
https://www.tkbsen.in/2016/03/cpim-blames-gender-pay-gap-during-heated-debate-in-rs/
And the NYC times looked into the issue of transgender kids:
http://www.nytimes.com/2016/05/18/science/transgender-children.html?_r=0
So as you see, gender and their boundaries were very much in the news during May 2016.
Stock market. Will the crash happen this month? Most markets will have a Yo-Yo effects of stronger up and down than usual this month and some will be quite depressed. Some political announcements and regulations will initially depress several markets locally. The South American and Asian markets especially could be severely hit this month. I do not think that the crash will happen this month, yet.
Both the US and Chinese stock market were in spiralling down this month, like I expected. No crash…Yet. That will be another story after the summer…

http://uk.finance.yahoo.com/news/china-could-plunge-us-world-164447131.html
Local epidemics that are likely to affect birds or other farmed animals and could be spread through faeces in water
Exactly as I predicted! The bird flu made a reaparance in Cameroon this month:
Beyond animals, a scandal about Portland schools contaminated water made the news lately:
http://www.opb.org/news/article/portland-public-schools-lead-water-shut-off/
Very strong month for sciences. Actually it’s likely to be a crazy month with amazing news around the following areas:
supra conductors and computer technology – developments with liquid crystal, plasma or semi-soft screens possible;
As I expected, big news around a Quantum computer from Canada emerged this month:
http://www.opb.org/news/article/portland-public-schools-lead-water-shut-off/
And what about a shape-shifting touch screen?
http://www.livescience.com/54908-shape-shifting-device-can-morph-on-demand.html
It is also a month during which exploration of space will be talked about. It could be the month when bacteria are discovered in space, on a meteorite, in the frozen water of Mars etc.
News about possible new human cities on Mars or underwater; Mars will likely make the news this month;
The two types of events somehow merged, with the publication of new studies showing that space radiation destroy biological material quickly and therefore it could make it hard to find trace of alien microbial life on Mars
http://www.space.com/32962-alien-fossils-mars-europa-radiation.html
Mars also made the news for being the closest to Earth in 11 years
Just before the beginning of the month, news about water and Mars were also published:
Treatment of polluted water;
Besides a study on polluted dust affecting the oceans, I could find no such news…
http://www.eurekalert.org/pub_releases/2016-05/giot-pdc051316.php
Possible medicine breakthrough in term of:
cardiac surgery and treatment, blood pressure. blood cells;
Spot on! What about “New way of growing blood vessels could boost regenerative medicine“
https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2016/05/160524124243.htm
The Pakistany PM went for cardiac surgery this month in London
genetic experiments and treatments: stem cells, brain stems, neurons and sterility are all likely to be much talked about;
“Antibiotics that kill gut bacteria also stop growth of new brain cells”
https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2016/05/160519130105.htm
“Resistant neurons point the way to protective factors in ALS”
https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2016/05/160516083647.htm
“First genetically modified humans could exist within two years”
bacteria discoveries and treatments;
Indeed! Exactly as predicted…
“New Bacteria Discovery Could Let Us Fight Cavities With Probiotic Pills”
http://now.howstuffworks.com/2016/03/17/new-bacteria-fight-cavities-probiotic-pills#!
spinal cord and the nervous system.
How about “Special stem cell treatment for spinal cord injuries shows promise
http://www.cbsnews.com/videos/special-stem-cell-treatment-for-spinal-cord-injuries-shows-promise/
Possible discoveries around plants used by shamans, traditional healers etc.
An incredible study authorised by the UK government showed the magic mushroom lifted long time depression in 12 patients who took them! This is absolutely groundbreaking.
Very strong month for Hollywood with record shattered in TV and movies box office. Captain America: Civil War will beat Batman v Superman at the global boxoffice and get very close if not above the Avengers movies numbers;
As I predicted, Captain America Civil War went for Avengers type of box office return and beat Batman V Superman.
Great development for the transport industry;
Well here you go.
“China to invest $989b in transport infrastructure projects over next 3 years”
http://www.reuters.com/article/us-china-transport-investment-idUSKCN0Y3050
Change in some cities/states/countries energy policy with more solar and less fossil fuels
Several announcements were made during this Snake month about solar energy indeed. One in Ghana for example
Possible records in swimming, diving, rowing etc.
Feredica Pellegrini made the headline with her swimming four win in Rio
Some achievements for diplomacy with cease-peace, truces and agreements reached in several countries.
One of those was the Russia-Assean agreement on disasters response signed this month
http://tass.ru/en/politics/876775
Movements of compassion forming in several places and taking over social medias.
The only news that I found in that regard is the social media solidarity movement toward the young refugee who set herself on fire early in May
http://www.bbc.com/news/blogs-trending-36194485
Possible news about a sea-monster sightseeing, fossil discovered etc.
Both news actually merged about a sea monster fossil!
https://reportuk.org/2016/05/29/eve-the-jurassic-sea-monster/
And news indeed appeared about unusual sightseeing of real life sea monsters
http://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2016/may/18/sea-monsters-nature-disconnection-humanity
And even some lake monster picture!
Health
The month can bring a tendency for strokes and cardiac problems and we will probably see one or two famous people suffering from such ailments.
Here I was also very much on track as the month has brought several sudden deaths from cardiac arrests. Two young footballers were victims of them early on during the month for example. Patrick Ekeng from Cameroon
and Brazilian Bernardo Ribeiro
http://www.the42.ie/bernardo-ribeiro-dies-26-brazilian-footballer-2759413-May2016/
David Ginola is recovering from one
https://www.theguardian.com/football/2016/may/20/david-ginola-hospital-collapsing-match
That is 3 footabllers victim of a heart attack this month! Patterns, anyone?
And to finish on a good note, it was a close call for another young footballer, revived on the field!
