As business global leaders have already been aware of, now the business arena has been shifting from Western to the Eastern, especially to Asia. I was born in Japan and raised there but through my busiess career, I have had a lot of opportunities to work with non-Japanese counterparts. From my experience, I feel that so-called Westerns have a sort of limited knowledge of Asia. They know well Asian languages, social systems and economies, however, when it comes to their philosophy as well as mentalities, it looks still hard to have relevant information.
One of those relevant information is the Asian horoscope. As far as I know, there are a few professionals who can release their high-quality analysis in English.
So, as an introduction, I would like to give you a background of this Asian horoscope.
This was originally born in China. I can’t use the expression of either “developed”, or “studied”. This is because this mysterious art was given to people who were selected by the God as a sort of prophet.
Asian horoscope was used for the following purposes.
1 To anticipate the destiny of the emperor
2 To develop war strategies
3 To develop agricultural policies
Let me explain a bit more.
1 To anticipate the destiny of the emperor
When a son of an emperor was born, the specialist made the fortune telling for all the life of that baby. That means wealth, health, wars, families, chances, and risks. According to those precautions, an emperor decides his behaviors. This had been quite effective and useful however, during the Chinese revolution around 1966-1977, this art of the Asian horoscope were totally burned down. It seems that all the system was brought to Japan to hand over to the next generation.
2 To develop war strategies
Honey trap has been a quite traditional tactics that Chinese use. The strategist had to obtain the data of birth of the general of the enemy through an secrete agent. Once he got the data, he analyzes the strengths and weaknesses of that enemy. The strategist figures out what kind of female or male that enemy likes and send an appropriate agent as he wishes to that enemy. If we can damage the top of the troops, it’s easier to win the battle.
3 To develop agricultural policies
Each year has its own features according to the horoscope. The specialist figured out the peculiarity of the climate in one year, and they used such info for agricultural planning: sowing seeds, preventive measures, and harvests.
