General Michael Flynn's legal troubles

Those who follow US politics are probably familiar with the current drama going on around Michael Flynn, a retired United States Army lieutenant general, who briefly worked for the Trump administration, but got fired and prosecuted after being caught (allegedly) lying to Vice President Pence. The whole thing was the center of the more significant drama that was going on with Mueller's report and accusations that Trump is a Russian asset.

It turns out that Flynn was innocent and that left-leaning politicians and rogue FBI agents were trying to frame him just to hurt Trump.

Politics aside, I looked into why General Flynn attracted such explosive legal problems. He is a Yin Wood, a relatively strong one. Yang Wood represents Competitor Talent to him, meaning that he has a very competitive personality, which is a good character trait for a military career.

The Wood Rat pillar in his BaZi Chart represents his career, which clashed once he entered the Metal Horse period in 2013. Such a clash often means losing a job (which he did), but because the Metal Element is involved, it also poses potential legal troubles for the Yin Wood Master Element.

Yin Wood people are famous, though, for their ability to handle legal troubles better than any other Element. Yin Wood combines with and embraces Yang Metal, thereby avoiding damage. The current Rat year also supported him in fighting off the nasty Horse; therefore, he was able to push back and get free during this year.

A happy end for General Flynn and Trump supporters who rallied behind him since day one.
