In the United States, presidential elections occur once every 4 years. The sequence of 9 Star Ki numbers for election years is 1, 5, 9, 4, 8, 3, 7, 2, 6. In other words, if a presidential election is held in a 1 Water year, the next election will occur in a 5 Soil year ( then a 9 Fire year, etc.). It is interesting to note that each of the nine numbers appears, in the sequence, before any given number is repeated. If, for example, the elections were held every 3 years, all of the nine numbers would not be included in the sequence. The sequence would be 3,6,9,3,6,9....... or 1,4,7,1,4,7..........over and over.
