libkk Posted January 13, 2005 Share Posted January 13, 2005 Fasten your seatbelts, please Published on January 10, 2005 Sorajja Nual-yu, a Thai astrologer working for Matichon Press’ “The Methodology of Astrology”, rose to fame when he correctly predicted in early 2001 that the US would face a major terrorist attack in September that year. Well, we witnessed September 11. Last year Sorajja also predicted that 2004 would be a year of greater terrorism and damage for Thailand than any before. There would be an epidemic in January followed by bloody conflict in the South in February and an earthquake in the South later in the year that would result in huge losses of life of the people living in coastal areas and destruction of property and buildings. Well, we witnessed the bird flu and the unrest in the three southern provinces, culminating in the tsunami disaster on December 26. His crystal ball has become the talk of the town as local people are starting to read his fortune-telling for the Year of the Rooster. Sorajja is a civil servant working for the Department of Irrigation. His astrological forecast is based on traditional Thai astrology, plus duang muang or “City Angel” based on the position of the stars on April 21, 1882, the date when Bangkok was founded by King Rama I. According to his astrological read, published in Matichon Weekly (December 31, 2004), Sorajja sees this year as the year of terrorist acts that will create unprecedented losses and calamities to Thailand. The new government will face internal conflict of ideas, while the country will face a huge drought. “Iron forces” will only lead to more conflict. Civil strife will heighten. The southern unrest will deteriorate, with the terrorists relying on greater forces or more devastating weapons. Both the foreign and local terrorists will cause huge loss of life and damage to the government’s property and schools. The ability of the government to subdue the unrest will be limited. On the economic front, the oil crisis will continue to hurt the Thai public, while the state banks will not be able to bail out the economy. The stock market will take a beating. Stock investors will burn their fingers, while poverty will be widespread. “Forest water” will flow from the North and the Northeast before reaching Bangkok. There will be a big flood in Bangkok. Important figures in Thailand will fall seriously ill. The bird flu will make a comeback, resulting in more loss of life and other damage. Since Jupiter is in a precarious position, there will be a need for the opposition and the government to work together to prevent the internal conflict from running out of control. Essentially, the year 2005 will be a dangerous one for Thailand, since Rahu will be moving into Pisces, which will mean a disaster for Aries. According to astrological statistics, whenever Rahu reaches this point there is a major disaster. The following is Sorajja’s forecast for each month of 2005. (Readers are advised to exercise judgement when reading these lines, written with the hyperbole beloved of the astrological fraternity.) January – Bangkok will suffer from a terrorist attack, creating shock and loss of life. The bird flu will come back, resulting in more damage and an epidemic, amid new diseases. The oil shortage will continue, and the economy will get into a slump. February – The month of the general election will witness a terrorist act in the South. Several hotels will be destroyed, with a hostage crisis and assassinations. More road accidents will occur. The Bank of Thailand will undergo a reform. The tourist industry will be in bad shape. March – Important figures in the country will die. Firms will have to lay off employees. The North will suffer from an earthquake. Theft and robbery will proliferate. April – The stock market will crash. Important figures will face deteriorating health. May – The most tragic month of the year. The stock market will crash again, while the political situation will become even more volatile. Several factories will have to close down, with employees laid off. Unemployment will follow. There will be some aviation accidents. June – This will be a month of calamities. The climate will change quite suddenly. Accidents are likely. Aircraft will crash. July – This will be a rather delicate month. There may be a coup and bloody conflict. It will be a time of great political conflict within the country, bringing about economic hardship and a stock-market slump. Fires will occur throughout the country. September – The first half of the month may be smooth, with important visits from foreign dignitaries. Thai monks will see more tarnishing of their image. The government will face a challenge that could lead to a labour strike. October – The Thai political scene may be in for a change. There may be loss of life. There may be a dissolution of Parliament. Natural disasters will continue to ravage the country, in the North, Northeast and South. Bangkok will be flooded. November – The stock market will crumble. The Thai public will face higher debt. Bangkok will face another serious flood. Coastal areas will be hit by disasters. The railways will be cut. The telephone system will break down. December – There will be the beginning of a bank crisis. Stock prices will fall. Accidents and disasters will proliferate. The government will not be able to tackle the problems. If Sorajja’s forecast hits the mark, we can but adapt the immortal words of Bette Davies in “All About Eve” and fasten our seat-belts: it’s gonna be a bumpy Year of the Rooster.

ovenman Posted March 12, 2005 Share Posted March 12, 2005 Published on January 10, 2005 The following is Sorajja’s forecast for each month of 2005.

March – Important figures in the country will die. Firms will have to lay off employees. The North will suffer from an earthquake. Theft and robbery will proliferate. Thus far, the great sage has gotten basically nothing correct for 2005. I suppose that at some point, if a single one of his predictions even remotely appears to be fulfilled, he'll still be seen as a prognosticating genius. (I don't count observations such as "More road accidents will occur" as predictions with any substance.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sabaijai Posted March 12, 2005 Share Posted March 12, 2005 The lyrics of Frank Zappa's "Cozmik Debris" come to mind. The mystery man came over And he said I’m outta sight! He said for a nominal service charge I could reach nirvana tonight If I was ready, willing and able To pay him his regular fee He would drop all the rest of His pressing affairs and devote His attention to me But I said look here brother Who you jiving with that cosmik debris? Now who you jiving with that cosmik debris? Look here brother, don’t waste your time on me The mystery man got nervous And he fidget around a bit He reached in the pocket of his mystery robe And he whipped out a shaving kit Now I thought it was a razor And a can of foaming goo But he told me right then when the top popped open There was nothin’ his box won’t do With the oil of aphrodite, and the dust of the grand wazoo He said you might not believe this, little fella But it’ll cure your asthma too And I said look here brother Who you jiving with that cosmik debris? Now what kind of a guru are you, anyway? Look here brother, don’t waste your time on me (don’t waste your time) I’ve got troubles of my own, I said And you can’t help me out So, take your meditations and your preparations And ram it up your snout! But I got the crystal ball, he said And held it to the ligh So I snatched it, all away from him And I showed him how to do it right I wrapped a newspaper ’round my head So I looked like I was deep I said some mumbo-jumbo, then I told him he was going to sleep I robbed his rings and pocketwatch And everything else I found I had that sucker hypnotized He couldn’t even make a sound I proceeded to tell him his future, then As long as he was hanging around I said the price of meat has just gone up And your old lady has just gone down! And I said look here brother-who you Jiving with that cosmik debris? Now is that a real poncho or is that a sears poncho? Don’t you know, you could make more money as a butcher? So, don’t waste your time on me Don’t waste it, don’t waste your time on me (shanti) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
