one thing has emerged clear as daylight. Rupert Murdoch’s children from his earlier marriage who are currently “managing” portions of his business - James and Elizabeth who were at the heart of the hacking scandal in London, are definite lightweights. In the face of crisis, they fall apart squabbling with each other, assigning blame, unable to support the old man. Te other son Lachlan simply stayed under cover and said not a word. In the midst of the crisis, only Wendi Deng’s fighting
spirit stayed intact. She sits, long legged, unsmiling and alert behind her husband, and now we know - her thoughts probably fiercely protective. Tiger or Dragon lady? What’s in a name? Actually, Wendi Deng, child of China’s revolution, a woman who grew up to fend for herself and who has used her brains to climb her way up the career ladder - as it turned out in Murdoch’s company Star Television - and then very quickly into his heart and his mind. Tis same lady is neither a Dragon nor a Tiger. She is a Monkey!! Born in 1968 in China during the decade of the cultural
revolution, she successfully made her way to the United States, studied management at prestigious Yale University before working for and then marrying the ageing patriarchal Murdoch, easily toppling the original Mrs. Murdoch and becoming the NEW Mrs Murdoch within days of the divorce being finalized. We watched videos of Wendi Deng giving interviews.
She has been busily promoting her new movie Snow Flower and the Secret Fan which as we go to press is still being edited. It is a movie she says about two Chinese women who become friends; then one betrays the other, but in the end, they reunite and there is forgiveness. It is a very ordinary movie made by a very extraordinary woman… In the interview which I watched on the Internet, Wendi
Deng speaks Chinese English in a coarse, rough voice. She makes no effort to hide her Chinese accent and she appears passionate about her latest venture. She talks about friendship and speaks a lot on the subject but there is little warmth and I can hear the tension in her voice, and see it

in her body. But there is no nervousness. Wendi Deng is supremely confident of herself and her power. Having studied her chart, alongside that of her husband, and watching her speak, I am awed by this lady. She smiles easily enough but there is also a wariness in her eyes. I expect that in her ten years living in the United States metamorphosing into a powerful society lady, always on the arm of the powerful Rupert, she is rightly on her guard always. Yet the power of her position does seem to sit easy on her and definitely there is more character, more passion and more determination within her than in all Rupert’s other children combined. Tey will be no match for her. So I expect her to take over the reins at News Corp when her husband Rupert Murdoch dies - as he will within the next two or three years. She has two children with him - Grace and Chloe - and they are definitely being groomed to take their rightful places as Murdoch heirs eventually. But while they grow, there is no doubt Wendi Deng will emerge as the real power in the Murdoch clan. Let us walk you through her Paht Chee chart … her date
of birth is December 8th 1968 … she was born an Earth Monkey.
