“Osama bin Laden & Destiny”
By Master Raymond Lo

There are many different versions of Osama bin Laden’s birthday. However, after careful consideration of his background, his image and his ups and downs in the past, March 10, 1957 at about 5:00 a.m. appears to be the closest match. This is an article just speculating on the possible accuracy of bin Laden’s birthday. As such, my analysis could be totally wrong in case the birth data is not correct. Therefore I have to warn readers against taking this article as a prediction for future developments.  Please just treat this piece as an exercise to enhance the understanding of the art of Four Pillars of Destiny.

The Chinese calendar is a unique tool for fortune telling as it reflects the composition of elements at the moment of birth of a person.  So through examining the relationship between elements, we can read a persons fortune in detail. The system contains two parts, Destiny Pillars and Luck Pillars. Destiny pillar reflects the composition of elements at the moment of birth; it shows the in born quality of a person, his background, his personality, potentials…etc. The Luck pillar is a series of elements that a person has to travel through as he grows up. It is like a passage of life and on such a journey, a person will encounter different chances and opportunities at different periods of time. The Luck is divided into ten-year stages, each stage a person will be under the influence of different pairs of elements, which brings ups and downs to the person's life. 

Let's examine what appears to be Osama bin Laden's birth data, and see how it's converted to the Chinese calendar & charts. March 10, 1957 at 5:00 a.m. 

Destiny Pillars: This chart shows  Osama bin Laden's birthday in terms of the five elements. The grouping of the elements, known as the Heavenly Stems (on top) & Earthly Branches (on bottom) can then be used to describe him and predict his future. 

Luck Pillars: This chart represents the elemental influences in Osama bin Laden's  destiny based on each ten-year period from 1948 through 2028. Starting at the top of the chart: each Luck pillar consist of a ten-year period, the age when bin Laden will start coming under the influence of that period, and the 2 elements known as the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches.

How do we read a person’s fortune based on this traditional Chinese fortune telling system, popularly known as “The Four Pillars of Destiny”?  The first step is to look at the Day of birth, as the element on the Day of birth is called the “Self” element. The Self element represents the person who’s born on that day.

In the case of Osama bin Laden, it appears he was born on a Yin Metal day. Hence we can define him as a Yin Metal Person. Yin Metal is small metal, jewelry metal and decorative metal. A Yin Metal Person usually appears to be moderate & gentle, slightly feminine outlook. The other elements surrounding the Yin Metal represents people surrounding the Self, and the environment of the Self.  The first thing we can notice is that all the Four Pillars are Yin elements. This shows us a person of deep hidden strength and elaborate thinking.  The elements appearing on top are called “Heavenly Stems” which shows how the man appears on the surface – his superficial image. The elements underneath are called “Earthly Branches” which reflects the true inner self.

Let us examine such elements one by one, starting from the Year pillar. The first element on top in the Year pillar is Yin Fire; Fire conquers the Self element Metal. So this Fire represents control, discipline. We called it the “Power” element, as it reflects a person’s status and position. This is especially important for a political figure as status and control is the most important thing for such a person. This Power element is a Yin fire, which the Chinese called “Shar Chi” or the “Killing look”. This means a more threatening, harsh and extreme kind of Power, a Power element suitable for a Kung Fu fighter, a police chief, or a military commander. 

 The second element on top is Yin Water. The Self Element Metal produces Water. Hence it represents his creativity, intelligence and skill. This Water is a very important element, it not only gives bin Laden an intelligent outlook, it also serves as a protective buffer between the Fire in the Year pillar and the Self element Metal on the Day pillar. Without this Water, the Fire will attack the Metal. So the Water element actually represents his wits to control the Power so he can manipulate his forces under his fingers.

The third element on top is his Day pillar. The Yin Metal represents bin Laden himself. The forth element on top of the Hour pillar is also a Yin Metal, symbolizing his supporters and followers.  As such, the Heavenly stems painted a picture of an intelligent man who can manipulate military power and has a lot of followers.

Now let us examine what is underneath in the Earthly Branches. The first Earthly Branch, the Rooster, is a stronghold of Metal; it supports the Self elements and provides a strong foundation. So it means he can establish himself with a strong foundation with followers and supporters.  The second and the fourth elements are the same – the Rabbit, which are Wood elements.   Wood is the element conquered by the Self Metal. Hence Wood represents his Money. The positions of these Money elements also convey a message.

The Month pillar represents Parents, and the Hour pillar represents Children or Servants. So Money appearing in these two places shows us that he has Money from a wealthy family background and he also has Money from his supporters and followers. The Day pillar is the Fire Snake, another Power element directly under him that shows that he is sitting on Power, that he's a powerful leader.

The Luck Pillars reflect his history and ups and downs in life. Being a Metal person, he will be more comfortable if he is supported by Earth elements in his Luck pillar, and he will be more aggressive, showing off his talents if there is strong Water, which is his Intelligence element. The Earth support appeared in his second Luck pillar between the ages of 11 to 21. And from the age of 21 to 31, he encountered the Luck pillar of Metal and Water, meaning more challenges, more chances to show his talent, and more friends – this is exactly the period that he was fighting Soviet soldiers in Afghanistan between the year 1979 and 1988.

Now let us examine his current Luck pillar, which started from age 41 until today. It is a Luck pillar of double Earth, Yang Earth on the Dog.  Apparently the Earth elements support his Metal and he should be more relax and comfortable. This may be true if he is an ordinary merchant, however, he is a man of power and skill. So, the key to his ups and downs is more to do with his Power element Fire, and his skill to Manipulate Power Water.

As such, there are serious drawbacks in this Luck pillar. Now at the age of 44, he is just entering the period of the Dog. The Yang Earth will combine and conquer his Yin Water, resulting in less chance to use his skill and intelligence, and the Dog is considered to be the “Grave of Fire” meaning he is losing his Power.

Then what happened in September 2001? The Chinese calendar shows it is a Month of Yin Fire sitting on the Metal Rooster. On the Heavenly Stems, the Yin Fire clashed against his Yin Water and attacked his Metal-Self element. This stimulated his Water or his Intelligence element, stimulating his aspirations and fighting spirit. On the Earthly Branches, the Metal Month also gave strong support to his Water to resist the Fire. So he has to stand up to face strong challenges. The next month, October, is a Month of Yang Earth sitting on the Dog. This is exactly identical to his current Luck Pillar, where the Yang Earth took control of his Water, and the Dog puts his Fire Power into the grave. So the direct clash could be over.
