So much has been said about polarisation under Donald Trump. And now even feng shui masters are divided over the US president, with contrasting outlooks on how he will perform in the Year of the Pig.

One Hong Kong fortune-teller said impeachment was on the cards for the president, while another went as far as pinpointing the 31-day window during which he would be most vulnerable to an unseating.

Ahead of the start of Lunar New Year, experts made their predictions on famous figures by studying their birth data in relation to the five basic elements – metal, water, wood, fire and earth.

A year ago many feng shui masters forecast a bumpy 12 months for Trump, saying he had been cursed for offending the god of age in ancient Chinese mythology. The president was born in 1946 – the Year of the Dog. Bad luck is said to befall people in the zodiac year they were born, and 2018 was also a Dog year.

However, some fortune-tellers have forecast that Trump’s luck will pick up in the Year of the Pig.
