Looking for any combinations or teams, we see there are no stem combinations that count in the natal chart until we arrive at the yang water in the stem of the 5th luck cycle. There was a stem combination in his 1st luck pillar but not helpful in terms of his career (a tad too early).

Looking to the branches we see a 6 harmony combination with the Snake and the Monkey in the year and month branch. 2016 this creates a fight to combine situation between the Monkey of the current year and the Monkey in his year of birth - this is not auspicious. What about the stem combination - it means that power will come to him and his career will prosper. It lasts for 5 years!

does he have any allies in his chart?

In his birth chart he has both a nobleman in the Snake and a special star in the Monkey. However, to bring out the full benefits of these stars, you need both and he only has the Monkey - the Dog is his other special star and it will not show up again until October, perhaps not soon enough to be helpful. It does appear in this new luck cycle but it does not come into focus for another 5 years. I do not have access to his wife's birth details so can't see what she may contribute to him.

His second nobleman is the Rabbit, the Rabbit month has come and gone so cannot help him again this year unless there is someone in his field of view who is a Rabbit or has a Rabbit in their natal chart.

Tony Abbott has a Dog in his month branch and a Rooster in his year branch. Abbott had a strong metal flow which is now in rapid decline as he is changing luck periods this year.

Julie Bishop has  a Rooster in her day pillar she is also now in a strong metal flow with a partial metal team.

See below in terms of a favourable flow for him.

metal flow

His 4th luck pillar starting 2006 was Yin Metal sitting over the Rooster. The Yin Metal helped with creating a flow in his chart. He won pre-selection for the seat of Cook in 2007 which was a Yin Fire Pig year giving him a wood flow (output). That was the year that Kevin Rudd won the election with his Kevin 07 campaign. The election was held on the 24th of November 2007. It was a Yang Water Dog (his missing special star) day in a Yin Metal Pig month, in a Yin Fire Pig year. The two pigs provided an additional 2 travel stars giving him 4 travel stars (albeit one being repeated). 

He became Treasurer on the 21st of September 2015. It was a Yang Metal Rat day, in a Yin Wood Rooster month in the Yin Wood Sheep year. This is his favourable rooster appearing again confirming that he can use this metal flow very well.

The election day

The day of the election will be a Yin Wood Rooster day, in the month of the Yang Wood Horse, in the year of the Fire Monkey.

The month brings his favourable Horse giving him four in a row and bringing him back to a favourable fire (wealth) flow.

The Rooster will combine with his snake to form a partial metal team - in fact the Rooster gives him 5 in a row.

My intuition tells me that he isn't quite well enough positioned to take out the leadership of the Liberal Party after the July 2nd Election, but when the leadership of his party comes up for consideration (after the election) he may decide to chance his hand - depends who retains their seat and who loses their seat.

He likes the Horse (Turnbull), he likes the Rooster (Abbott, Bishop, Abetz, Brandis,Cormann, Sinodinos all have roosters in their year or their month). He can therefore adapt to the circumstances around him. He positions himself as a conservative dry. We will look at Abbott and Bishop later in this series.
