Emotions and marriage are among the most concerning topics of destiny for everyone. The Bazi (Eight Characters) system has a complete set of interpretations for emotions, ranging from the types of Peach Blossom stars to judging the characteristics of a spouse, from predicting emotional fluctuations by year to compatibility analysis for marriage. This article will systematically explain them for you.
What is a peach blossom star
Peach Blossom Star (also known as Xianchi) is a deity in fate theory that represents one's attraction to the opposite sex and opportunities in relationships. The strength of the Peach Blossom determines a person's level of sexual attraction and the number of relationship opportunities:
Methods for Identifying Peach Blossoms
Peach blossoms are based on the year's branch or the day's branch, and you should check if there is a corresponding peach blossom character in the earthly branches:
- The earthly branch of the year or the earthly branch of the day isYin, Wu, Xu(Tiger, Horse, Dog) → Peach blossoms are bloomingMao
- The earthly branch of the year or the earthly branch of the day isShen Zichen(Monkey, Rat, Dragon) → Peach blossoms are inYou (the tenth Earthly Branch)
- The earthly branch of the year or the earthly branch of the day isSi, You, Chou(Snake, Chicken, Cow) → Peach blossoms are presentnoon
- The earthly branch of the year or the earthly branch of the day isHai, Mao, Wei(Pig, Rabbit, Goat) → Peach blossoms are presentchild
The more romantic characters (Mao/You/Wu/Zi) appear in a person's destiny chart, the stronger their romantic luck with the opposite sex.
Four types of peach blossoms
1. Peach blossoms inside the wall (good peach blossoms)
When peach blossoms appear in the day branch or hour branch, it symbolizes that emotions occur within marriage, indicating stable feelings and a happy marriage.
2. Peach blossoms outside the wall (complicated emotions)
If peach blossoms appear in the year or month branch, it symbolizes having rich romantic experiences before marriage, or a tendency to have entanglements outside of marriage.
3. Rolling Waves of Peach Blossoms (Emotional Turmoil)
Peach blossoms appear on multiple pillars at the same time, meaning that relationships come quickly and go quickly, making it difficult to last long.
4. General Peach Blossom (Popular)
In the destiny chart, if the Peach Blossom star is combined with abundant Food and Output stars, one will have excellent relationships with the opposite sex, but attention should be paid to emotional troubles caused by excessive Peach Blossom influence.
How to determine the characteristics of a spouse from the Eight Characters
In the Eight Characters, there is a specific 'Spouse Palace' and 'Spouse Star':
Day Branch — Spouse Palace
The Earthly Branch of the Day Pillar represents the spouse palace, and the general characteristics of the spouse can be inferred from the Five Elements attribute of the Day Branch:
- Day branch isWood(Yin-Mao): The spouse has a gentle personality, a cultured temperament, and works in the education or cultural industry.
- Day branch isfire(Si-Wu): The spouse is enthusiastic and proactive, has leadership skills, and strong social abilities.
- Day branch issoil(Chen, Xu, Chou, Wei): Spouse is steady and reliable, patient, and somewhat traditional
- Day branch isGold(Shen-You): The spouse is decisive and capable, has strong execution skills, and appears somewhat robust.
- Day branch isWater(Zi Hai): The spouse is intelligent and flexible, multi-talented, and emotionally sensitive.
Spouse Star
- A woman's fate examines the officer star: The 正官 (Zheng Guan) represents a formal spouse, while 七杀 (Qi Sha) represents a strong-willed spouse
- A man's fortune is seen through the Wealth Star: Regular wealth represents a virtuous wife, while irregular wealth sometimes represents complicated emotions
When will there be opportunities for romance—annual romantic luck
The triggering of emotional opportunities usually has the following signals:
- The characters for encountering romantic luck in the flowing years: The earthly branch of that year is your peach blossom character (for example, those with the Yin, Wu, Xu life chart will encounter the Mao year in the current year)
- Annual Luck Combining with Day Branch: The annual earthly branch forms a harmonious combination with the daily branch, activating the spouse palace
- A woman's fate in a given year encounters authority and killing stars: The official star in the flow of the year often signals a year of emotions
- A man's fortune year encounters the wealth star: In the year of financial luck, there is a tendency for enhanced romantic prospects with the opposite sex
Emotional signals cannot be determined solely by the annual luck; the major luck and the annual luck must both show emotional signals for it to be a true 'year of emotional movement'.
Why are some people always single
From the perspective of fate analysis, the following situations may lead to late marriage or long-term singlehood:
- The spouse star (official star/wealth star) in the natal chart is severely restrained or completely absent
- The Day Branch conflicts with the Peach Blossom character (for example, if the Day Branch is Zi and the Peach Blossom is in Wu, Zi and Wu clash).
- Flourishing Hurting Officer (In a woman's chart, the Hurting Officer overpowers the Officer, leading to excessively high emotional expectations)
- Eight-Character Loneliness Configuration (Specific Deity and Star Combination)
The above situations do not mean that one will never have a relationship; fate describes tendencies rather than absolutes. Through effort, expanding one's social circle, and enhancing personal charm, it is still possible to break the limitations of one's fate.
Compatibility Analysis: Whether the Two People's Bazi Match
Compatibility charting (marriage matching) is a method to determine whether the eight characters of two people are compatible, mainly focusing on:
- Day pillars compatible: When two people's daily pillars form a harmonious combination of the six, it is the most harmonious signal in a relationship (Zi-Chou combination, Yin-Hai combination, Mao-Xu combination, etc.)
- The Five Elements complement each other: One party's pleasure happens to be the flourishing energy in the other party's destiny chart, mutually nourishing each other.
- No serious conflicts: The daily branch and yearly branch of the two people do not have a Six Clash relationship (such as Zi-Wu clash, Mao-You clash)
- Grand Canal CollaborationThe highs and lows of the two people's fortunes are complementary, rather than declining at the same time.
