The Year of Jihai is a year of deficient Earth qi. With Jueyin Wind-Wood governing above and Shaoyang Ministerial Fire residing below, the transformative qi fails to regulate while the generative governance stands prominent. Water and grass are abundant throughout the year — a time of favorable weather and bountiful harvests. Yet it is also subject to heavenly punishment. Although conditions appear promising early on, the final outcome falls short of expectations. On the whole, however, the year flows far more smoothly than the Year of Wuxu.
In the first half of the year, influenced by Jueyin Wind-Wood, temperatures will not run especially high and spring will not warm up too quickly. Judging from the final qi of the Wuxu year, the current flu epidemic should subside rapidly once we enter the initial qi of the Jihai year. If the illness persists into its later stages, it is very likely that diarrhea-type conditions will spread.
After March on the Gregorian calendar, cold weather will still dominate and late-spring cold snaps are highly likely. Yet heat has already built up within the body, so colds contracted at this time tend to produce high fever and dryness. There is serious concern that a wave of high-fever illness will emerge in March and April.
The summer of 2019 will be frequently windy. Those with tinnitus will find their symptoms worsening during the summer months. After May, both the domestic and international situation will experience considerable turbulence, and a major political event may occur in autumn — one that looks favorable on the surface but is not.
People with gastrointestinal weaknesses will develop pronounced symptoms this summer, including jaundice, edema, and diarrhea, with a general decline in appetite. These conditions should improve by winter.
Entering autumn, special attention should be paid to protecting the liver and gallbladder. At this time, the resurgence of Earth qi easily disturbs Wood qi. Coupled with the harsh, astringing effect of Metal qi, the impact on Liver-Wood is considerable. One is prone to bilateral hypochondriac pain, abdominal distension, and other signs of qi disharmony.
The winter of 2019 should be quite cold, but with the final qi encountering the Shaoyang Ministerial Fire in the guest-host overlay, it is very likely that persistent low temperatures will prevail — cold at first, then warming somewhat. After late December, temperatures will remain slightly below normal, but a large-scale, prolonged cold wave is unlikely.
The gasification pattern at year’s end favors the spread of disease, yet in a year of deficient annual qi it is difficult for an epidemic to gain real momentum. If illness strikes at year’s end, the primary manifestations will be heat-type, tending to affect the middle and lower portions of the body. The harmonizing method is most appropriate here; the sweat-inducing method yields only mediocre results.

己亥年为土运不及之年，厥阴风木司天，少阳相火在泉，化气不令，生政独彰，全年水草丰茂，为风调雨顺大丰收之年，但又遭天刑，虽前期形势大好，最终结果却不如人意，总的来看还是比戊戌年顺很多。
上半年受厥阴风木影响，气温不会很高，春季不会热的太快，结合戊戌年终之气来看，这次的流感进入乙亥年初之气后会迅速结束，如果演变到后期，极有可能出现腹泻类疾病的蔓延。
进入阳历三月份之后，天气依然以寒冷为主，极易出现倒春寒，但人体内已蕴藏热气，此时感冒极容易出现高热干燥，严重怀疑三、四月份会出现一波高热病情。
19年的夏天会经常刮风，有耳鸣问题的会在夏季加重，五月份之后国际国内局势会出现比较大的波动，秋季可能会发生重大政治事件，这个事件看上去很好，其实并不好。
今年夏天肠胃不好的人群会出现明显的症状，容易出现黄疸、水肿、腹泻的情况，整体食欲下降，到冬天会有所好转。
进入秋季后，要特别注意保护肝胆，此时土气复盛，极易干扰木气，加之金气肃杀，对肝木影响很大，容易出现两肋疼痛、脘腹胀痛等等气不顺的情况。
2019年的冬天是理应十分寒冷，但终之气遇到少阳相火客主加临，很有可能会出现持续性低温的状况，温度先低后高，12月底后会维持在稍低温度，但不应该出现大规模长时间的寒潮。
年末的气化形式有利于疾病的传播，但是岁运不及之年很难形成大气候，年末的如得病以热症为主，偏走于中下，宜和法为主，汗法的作用很一般。
