Hello! How are you?
I am Prof. Jang in Environmental Engineering Dept in University in South Korea. My major is numerical calculation in heat tranfer and fluid flow in engineering field. My other interest area is to predict long-term weather one year before just like you by the Oriental 60 year cycle theory apperared in Chinese medical book.
In fact I have published weather calendar since 2003 for the one year weather prediction. Therefore I have been reported on TV, newspaper etc many times ,for ex. for the accurate prediction of rainfall period of Korea, etc.
When I found the farmers’ Almanac site , I was so happy and curious how you can predict the weather since the scientific method can not predict reliably more than 10 days due to Butterfly effect, numerical truncation error and algorithm, etc.
Therefore I’d ‘like to discuss something, if possible with you.
Sincerely yours,
Jang from S. Korea

As given above, there are cyclic 60 years and each has its own unique energy. The evolution or change of the energy of each year will explain the secret of the weather characteristics and other feature like animal and crop state of the year including human disease, etc.
Therefore , it is necessary the physics of the each year, for example 2012 as Imjin(壬辰) , in which Im denotes Yang Water and Jin stands for Dragon of April. Next time I’d like to discuss this topic.
There are 10 Heaven stems and 12 Earth branch, which describes the physical state of the heaven and earth, respectively as following; ten heaven stems are Gap(Yang Wood,) Eul(Yin Wood), Byung(Yang Fire) Jung(Yin Fire), Mu(Yang Earth),Gi(Yin Earth),Gyung(Yang metal),Shin(Yin metal), Im(Yang water),Gye(Yin water), and there are 12 Earth branches Ja(Yang water,rat, December), Chuk(Yin earth,cow, January),In(Yang wood,tiger,Feb),Myo(Yin wood,rabbit,march),Jin(Yang Earth,dragon,April),Sa(Yin Fire,may,snake),Oh(yang Fire,June,horse),Mi(Yin earth,sheep,July),SShin(Yang metal,Aug.,monkey),Yu(Yin metal,chicken,Sept), Sul(Yang earth, Dog, Oct),Hae(Yin water, Pig,Nov.). I have a class now. We will continue next time. Thanks~
