Life Analysis
The Water Element- an exquisite combination of strength and flexibility
The U.S may be the world’s premiere free market economy but it is an undeniable fact that the glass ceiling still exists in the corporate sphere. The notion of a female immigrant, such as Indra Nooyi, becoming CEO of a multinational corporation is virtually unheard of, even today.

According to Master Goh Guan Leong, Nooyi’s Day Master is yang water, which symbolises intelligence and strong adaptability skills, akin to water taking the shape of its container. Besides, water flows downwards and this characteristic is personified as humility.
Traits of a successful person: humility and flexibility
How did Indian-born Nooyi manage to integrate into American society and become the CEO of an F&B giant within a short period of time? In her own words, Nooyi said, “There is no magic to it. I was humble, played with the cards I was dealt and focused on accomplishing my goals”.
Further, Master Goh attributes Nooyi’s “Iron Lady” persona to the Deity of Imposing Authority’s presence in her Bazi chart. This deity is authoritative, tenacious and decisive. As such, it comes as no surprise that the PepsiCo CEO ranks second on Fortune’s 2016 Most Powerful Women list. The combination of a yang water Day Master and presence of the Deity of Imposing Authority makes Indra Nooyi a resilient woman of great strength. In 2018, Nooyi shall enjoy enhanced fighting spirit, making it a likely breakthrough year for her!
