Coronavirus update

As you all probably know, the Coronavirus is slowly turning into a substantial threat, so we decided to add a few pieces of information from the Five Element point of view.

Generally speaking, viruses prefer cold environments. This year, we have a Metal Rat, which is one of the coldest pillars possible (Cold Metal producing Yin Water), so from the Elements’ point of view, conditions are almost perfect for a virus. Metal being on top means that metal-related illnesses will be more active. The Metal Element represents the lungs, the organs most affected by Coronavirus.

There is hope that by summer, the Coronavirus will lose momentum. In a few days, we enter the Earth Rabbit month, followed by the Metal Dragon month; both are still hazardous. In particular, I would highlight Metal Dragon, which will significantly increase the Water structure.

SUMMER RELIEF?

In May, we will enter Metal Snake; its Yang Fire might help, and hopefully, by the end of summer, the virus will be under control. If not, we can expect an escalation in August, during the Wood Monkey month, which will again increase the Water structure.

Unfortunately, we don’t have any data to see from the Chart point of view what type of person is susceptible to this particular virus. If you know someone who is affected, please send us their dates. We will review them and publish any findings in this blog.

We assume that individuals with dirty Metal and Water in their charts may be more affected, but it’s hard to say without reviewing specific cases. Wood and Fire are beneficial here, counteracting Metal and Water.

When it comes to practical advice, I guess most of you know the drill: wash your hands, avoid public places, eat healthy, clean your food, and, most importantly, drink plenty of hot Water. Hot Water will keep your body temperature high, making it harder for the virus to catch on.

Stay safe.
