8/8/8 Day of Destiny or Cosmic April Fool?

[emad]

Feng Shui expert Joseph Chau says
“August 8, 2008 is the second day of the Ghost Festival which falls on the 8th day of the 7th lunar month, which is what the Chinese call the Ghost Month. Locally, the Chinese-Filipino refer to this month as the Hungry Ghost Month....."

The Chinese seventh month, usually August, is the most ill-fated time of the year. It is called Ghost Month, and its climax is the Festival of the Hungry Ghosts. Buddhists, Taoists and believers of Chinese folk religion believe that during the Ghost Month, the spirits of the dead wander the earth.

"Unfortunately, a numerology chart for the date 8-8-08, the day of the opening ceremony for the Beijing Olympic Games, reveals that it's an unfavorable date. The astrology chart of the opening ceremony for the Beijing Olympic Games also suggests an abundance of ill-fated energy."

Never could quite explain it...

2. Prognostications....

Over-balanced 8 energy: abuses power, cold-blooded, egotistical, overreaction to m.o.n.e.y, scheming, aggressive, materialistic, corrupt, demanding, domineering, preoccupied with power and m.o.n.e.y, unsympathetic, over-ambitious, confrontational, rebellious, coarse.

7. This is what I think of right away, but I am not interested in manufactured dates.

Energy is not so arbitrary.

3. Well, it's a great excuse for anything that goes wrong at the Olympics...

...or anywhere else in the world.

4. Yes, this will surely best the world-shattering events of 7/7/07 and 6/6/06.
