How to Discern Your Partner's Character and Marriage Fate Through Bazi?

Bazi numerology, an important component of traditional Chinese metaphysics, allows one to deduce personality traits, life trajectories, and marital status by analyzing the combination of Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches in an individual's Bazi chart. To understand a partner's character and marriage fate, a comprehensive and in-depth analysis from the following aspects is usually required:---### I. Discerning Partner's Character and Marriage Fate Information from One's Own BaziAn individual's Bazi chart inherently contains information about their spouse's characteristics.#### A. Discussion on Spouse Star (Husband Star/Wife Star)1. Male Chart for Wife Star (Direct Wealth, Partial Wealth): * Direct Wealth represents the wife, signifying a loyal, family-oriented, practical, and traditional character. * Partial Wealth represents a lover or informal relationship. If Partial Wealth is stronger than Direct Wealth, it may indicate a complex romantic life, or a partner who is lively and sociable. * Key analysis points: * Strength and Weakness: A strong and rooted Wealth Star usually indicates a healthy and capable spouse; a weak or suppressed Wealth Star may suggest a spouse who is physically weak, of average ability, or faces relationship difficulties. * Five Element Attributes: The Five Elements (Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth) of the Wealth Star represent the spouse's appearance and personality traits. For example, if the Wealth Star is Wood, the spouse might have a slender figure; if Fire, a passionate character. * Ten God Combinations: The Ten Gods sitting with the Wealth Star, or in relation to it, will influence the spouse's personality. For example, a Wealth Star sitting with Food God suggests a kind and virtuous spouse; a Wealth Star sitting with Seven Killings may indicate a domineering spouse. * Suppression Status: If the Wealth Star is suppressed by Rob Wealth/Friend, it may imply competitors in relationships, or the spouse's health or finances may be affected. If the Wealth Star is protected by Officer/Seven Killings, the spouse may possess nobility and status.2. Female Chart for Husband Star (Direct Officer, Seven Killings): * Direct Officer represents the husband, signifying an upright, responsible, high-status, and traditional character. * Seven Killings represents a lover or informal relationship. If Seven Killings is stronger than Direct Officer, it may indicate a complex romantic life, or a partner with a strong and decisive personality. * Key analysis points: * Strength and Weakness: A strong and rooted Officer/Seven Killings Star usually indicates a capable and high-status spouse; a weak or suppressed Officer/Seven Killings Star may suggest a spouse who is physically weak, has an unstable career, or offers little help to the self. * Five Element Attributes: Similar to male charts, this reflects the spouse's appearance and personality traits. * Ten God Combinations: The Ten Gods sitting with the Officer/Seven Killings Star, or in relation to it, will influence the spouse's personality. For example, an Officer Star sitting with Resource suggests a steady and educated husband; an Officer Star sitting with Hurting Officer may indicate a husband with a bad temper or prone to disputes. * Suppression Status: If the Officer/Seven Killings Star is excessively suppressed by Food God/Hurting Officer, it may indicate an unstable marriage or harm to the husband. If the Officer/Seven Killings Star is resolved by Resource, the husband is capable and helpful to the self.#### B. Discussion on Spouse Palace (Day Branch)The Spouse Palace, located at the Earthly Branch of the Day Pillar, is the closest palace to the Day Master. It directly represents the spouse's home, the spouse themselves, and the specific state of the marital relationship, making it central to judging marital quality.1. Five Elements and Ten Gods of the Day Branch: What Five Elements and Ten Gods sit in the Day Branch directly describe the spouse's character and their influence on the self. * Day Branch as Favorable God: The spouse is helpful to the self, the marital relationship is harmonious, and the affection is deep. * Day Branch as Unfavorable God: The spouse offers little help or brings troubles, and there are more conflicts between husband and wife. * Day Branch sitting with Rob Wealth/Friend: The couple may frequently argue, or the spouse has a competitive personality, sometimes leading to rivals. * Day Branch sitting with Food God/Hurting Officer: If it's a Favorable God, the spouse is intelligent and talented; if an Unfavorable God, female charts may indicate harm to the husband, and male charts, a nagging or willful spouse. * Day Branch sitting with Wealth Star: Male charts gain a virtuous wife; female charts indicate a spouse skilled in managing finances. * Day Branch sitting with Officer/Seven Killings: Female charts gain a noble husband; male charts indicate a capable spouse or pressure from the spouse. * Day Branch sitting with Resource: The spouse is considerate, kind, and cultured.2. Day Branch's Punishments, Clashes, Combinations, and Harms with Other Earthly Branches: * Day Branch forming a Combination: The couple has good affection, or the spouse may be easily attracted to others. If combined into Rob Wealth/Friend in another pillar, beware of extramarital affairs. * Day Branch forming a Clash: The marriage is unstable, the couple argues frequently, and there is a high likelihood of separation or divorce. This is even more evident if it clashes with the Spouse Star. * Day Branch forming a Punishment or Harm: The couple's relationship is discordant, with frequent disputes, or the spouse may have poor health.#### C. Comprehensive View of Other Palaces and Ten Gods1. Strong Rob Wealth/Friend: Regardless of gender, if Rob Wealth/Friend is excessively strong and is an Unfavorable God, it is detrimental to marriage, indicating potential competitors or the spouse being prone to injury or illness.2. Strong Food God/Hurting Officer: In female charts, excessively strong Food God/Hurting Officer, especially Hurting Officer, suppresses the Officer Star, leading to potential harm to the husband and an unstable marriage. In male charts, strong Food God/Hurting Officer affects children, and the spouse may be domineering.3. Strong Resource: Excessive Resource may lead to a lack of romance and strong dependence, but generally indicates kindness.4. Strong Wealth Star: In male charts, if the Wealth Star is strong and a Favorable God, the wife is virtuous and helpful; if an Unfavorable God, the husband may be henpecked or troubled by his wife.5. Strong Officer/Seven Killings: In female charts, if Officer/Seven Killings is strong and a Favorable God, she gains a noble husband; if an Unfavorable God, marital affinity is poor, and there is much pressure.#### D. Discussion on Shensha (Divine Stars/Auxiliary Stars)Certain Shensha are also often used to aid marital judgment: * Peach Blossom (桃花): Indicates strong opposite-sex attraction and romance, but excessive or clashing Peach Blossom may lead to complex relationships. * Red Phoenix (红鸾), Heavenly Joy (天喜): Often signify opportunities for romantic relationships and meeting one's destined partner. * Lonesome (寡宿), Solitary (孤辰): Signify loneliness, which is unfavorable for marriage, leading to feelings of isolation. * Yin Yang Mistake (阴差阳错): Indicates a marriage with many twists and turns, prone to various misfortunes.#### E. Discussion on Grand Cycle and Annual CycleWhen the Grand Cycle or Annual Cycle activates the Spouse Star or Spouse Palace, it often signifies the emergence of marriage opportunities or the confirmation of a wedding date. * Appearance, Combination, or Activation of Spouse Star: Likely to meet one's destined partner or get married. * Spouse Palace forming a Combination or Clash: Prone to emotional changes; combinations indicate marriage or joyous events, clashes indicate separation or change. * Favorable God in place: Smooth emotional life. * Unfavorable God in place: Turbulent emotional life.---### II. Discerning Their Character and Marriage Fate from the Other Party's BaziIf you have the other party's Bazi chart, directly analyzing it can provide a more accurate understanding of their character and marriage prospects.#### A. Other Party's Day Master Strength and Five Element Preferences/DislikesThis is fundamental to understanding the other party's basic character and health. For example, a strong Day Master indicates an independent and autonomous character; a weak Day Master may imply strong dependence.#### B. Other Party's Ten God CombinationsThis is the most crucial part, allowing for a detailed deduction of their personality traits, ways of handling things, and values. * Strong Direct Officer, Direct Resource, Direct Wealth: Usually indicates an upright, traditional, and responsible character. * Strong Seven Killings, Hurting Officer, Rob Wealth: May indicate a strong-willed, rebellious, and driven character, but also prone to impulsiveness. * Strong Food God: Kind, gentle, and optimistic.#### C. Other Party's Officer/Seven Killings, Wealth Star, and Food God/Hurting Officer * Male chart for Wealth Star: Reflects their views and attitudes towards relationships, wife, and wealth. * Female chart for Officer/Seven Killings: Reflects their views and attitudes towards relationships, husband, and career. * Food God/Hurting Officer: Reflects their pursuit of expression, children, and freedom.#### D. Other Party's Spouse Palace (Day Branch)Analyze the Five Elements and Ten Gods of the other party's Day Branch, as well as its Punishments, Clashes, Combinations, and Harms with other pillars, to directly understand their attitude towards relationships and future marriage prospects.#### E. Other Party's Grand Cycle and Annual CycleUnderstanding the other party's future emotional trends and marital fortune, and whether it synchronizes with your own.---### III. Bazi Compatibility (Viewing the Matching Degree of Both Bazi Charts)After analyzing each party's Bazi chart, it is also necessary to compare the two charts for compatibility analysis to determine the matching degree and depth of marital affinity.#### A. Day Master Five Element ComplementarityThe Five Elements of both Day Masters should ideally be complementary, meaning one party's Favorable God is the Five Element of the other party's Day Master, or both Day Master Five Elements mutually generate each other, avoiding excessive clashes. For example, if one is strong in Wood and needs Metal, the other is strong in Metal; if one Day Master is weak and needs support, the other has strong Rob Wealth/Friend.#### B. Day Pillar Heavenly Stem and Earthly Branch CombinationsIf the Day Pillars (Heavenly Stem and Earthly Branch) of both parties exhibit Heavenly Stem and Earthly Branch combinations, such as Jia-Ji combination, Yi-Geng combination, Zi-Chou combination, Yin-Hai combination, etc., it is usually considered a combination of profound affinity and deep affection.#### C. Favorable God ComplementarityThis is the most important aspect of compatibility. If one's Favorable God is the strong Five Element of the other, or if one's Bazi chart perfectly compensates for missing Five Elements in the other's chart, it is called Favorable God complementarity, signifying that the two can help each other and grow together.#### D. Synchronized Luck CyclesIf both parties' Grand Cycle and Annual Cycle trends are roughly similar, for example, both experiencing good or bad luck during the same period, they are more likely to be in sync and overcome difficulties together. If one experiences great fortune while the other faces great misfortune, marital problems are likely to arise.#### E. Clashing Situations * Avoid severe clashes between both Day Pillars or Day Branches: Day Branch mutual clashes (e.g., Zi-Wu clash, Mao-You clash) are major taboos in compatibility, often leading to marital discord and separation. * Avoid multiple Punishments, Clashes, Harms, or Destructions in the charts: Especially those involving the Spouse Palace or Spouse Star.#### F. Shensha CompatibilityAvoid both parties having too many Shensha unfavorable for marriage, or one party's Shensha negatively affecting the other. For example, if one has Lonesome and the other has Solitary, it exacerbates feelings of isolation.---### IV. Important Considerations and In-Depth Interpretation1. Holistic Principle: Bazi analysis cannot be fixated on a single point; it must comprehensively and collectively consider all information, including Five Elements, Ten Gods, Palaces, Shensha, Grand Cycle, and Annual Cycle, to derive accurate conclusions.2. Dynamic Principle: Marital fate is not static; it fluctuates with changes in Grand Cycles and Annual Cycles. Even if a Bazi chart initially shows unfavorable signs for marriage, it may improve under the influence of Grand Cycles and Annual Cycles.3. Subjective Agency: Bazi numerology predicts trends, not absolute destiny. Understanding one's Bazi and marital information can help us better know ourselves, choose a suitable partner, and actively manage the marriage by leveraging strengths and mitigating weaknesses.4. Practical Experience: Bazi fortune-telling requires a profound theoretical foundation and rich practical experience, which cannot be acquired overnight.5. Modern Perspective: In modern society, in addition to Bazi numerology, factors such as personality, values, educational background, and family environment also significantly influence marriage. Numerological analysis should be combined with real-life experience to make the most objective judgment.Through the above multi-dimensional and in-depth analysis, one can more comprehensively interpret the partner's character and marital fate information contained in an individual's Bazi chart, as well as the compatibility and development trends of the couple's marriage.
