How to Determine the Marriage Time through the Eight Characters?
Generally, the time of marriage should take into account the position and strength or weakness of the spouse star (for male, the official money or the un-official money; for female, the official or the seven kill), as well as the relationship between the couple's palace (the day branch) and other branches.If the spouse star appears in the year or month pillar, is not affected by other gods' punishment, conflict, destruction, or transformation, and the running period does not harm the spouse star, then it usually indicates early marriage or appropriate age of marriage. If the spouse star appears in the hour pillar, it usually indicates late marriage. If the spouse star is in harmony with the day stem or is harmonized into the day branch, it also indicates early marriage. If the spouse star does not appear in the Eight Characters and there is no encounter with the spouse star in the running periods, it indicates late marriage. If there are too many or too complicated spouse stars, and the body is weak, but the running periods support the spouse stars, it often indicates late marriage.
1. The spouse star appears in the major running period or the annual flow period.
For males, one official money or un-official money is the wife star. When reaching the money running period, or encountering a money star in the annual flow period, it should be married. For females, one official or seven kill is the husband star. When reaching the official or seven kill running period, or encountering an official or seven kill in the annual flow period, it should be married. In this case, the spouse should not be too many or too complicated. As long as the body has root energy, when the running period reaches the spouse star, especially when the spouse star meets the heavenly stem of the year, which is harmonized into the day stem, it is favorable for marriage. For example, for a male born on Wu day meeting the water of Gui in the annual flow, or a female born on Yi day meeting the gold of Geng in the annual flow.
2. For males, if there are too many wealth stars and the body is weak, the running period or the annual flow period with the brother or sister, or the mother star should indicate marriage information. When the official money and un-official money are mixed, the un-official money should be removed at that time, indicating marriage information. For females, if the伤官 (shangguan) is too strong, and the body is strong, the running period or the annual flow period with the money star should indicate marriage information. If the body is weak, the running period or the annual flow period with the mother star should indicate marriage information. If the official and seven kill are mixed, when the seven kill is eliminated or controlled, it should indicate marriage information.
3. When the major running period or the annual flow period forms a three-merge, six-harmony, or three-meeting with the original eight characters, and the merged and transformed element is the spouse star, and it is a favorable or useful god, it should indicate marriage information.
4. When the major running period or the annual flow period forms a heaven-earth鸳鸯合 (heaven-earth yuanyang he) with the day column. For example, Jia Zi meets Ji Chou annual flow period, Jia Ji is harmonized, Zi Chou is harmonized, it should indicate marriage information.
5. When the couple's palace in the Eight Characters meets adjacent branches' punishment or conflict (except when the day branch is earth), when the major running period or the annual flow period resolves the punishment or conflict, it should indicate marriage information. When the couple's palace meets adjacent branches' entanglement or harmony, when the major running period or the annual flow period breaks the entanglement, it should indicate marriage information.
6. When the spouse star in the Eight Characters is harmonized on the heavenly stems, when the major running period or the annual flow period removes the other heavenly stems, it should indicate marriage information. If the spouse star is harmonized, conflicted, or punished in the earthly branches, when the major running period or the annual flow period resolves the harmony, conflict, or punishment, it should indicate marriage information.
7. When the spouse star in the Eight Characters is stored in the tomb or warehouse and does not appear on the heavenly stems, and there is no conflict or punishment from other branches, when the major running period or the annual flow period breaks the tomb, it should indicate marriage information.
8. When the桃花星 (taohua xing) is in conflict:
Zi, Wu, Mao, You are the so-called桃花星 (taohua xing). If the original eight characters have the taohua xing You, and it meets the rabbit year, it is called the taohua xing in conflict. If the taohua xing Mao is present, and it meets the chicken year, it is called the taohua xing in conflict. If the taohua xing Zi is present, and it meets the horse year, it is called the taohua xing in conflict. If the taohua xing Wu is present, and it meets the rat year, it is called the taohua xing in conflict. When the taohua xing is in conflict, it is often the best time for marriage.
9. When the Eight Characters meet the Taohua Year:
The taohua can be identified by the ground branches in the Eight Characters' year and day. "Shen Zi Chen sees You, Yin Wu Xu sees Mao, Hai Mao Wei sees Zi, Si You Chou sees Wu." In terms of the zodiac signs, people born in the Pig, Rabbit, and Sheep who meet the Rat year are considered to be in the Taohua Year. People born in the Snake, Chicken, and Ox who meet the Horse year are considered to be in the Taohua Period. People born in the Tiger, Horse, and Dog who meet the Rabbit year are considered to be in the Taohua Period. People born in the Monkey, Rat, and Dragon who meet the Chicken year are considered to be in the Taohua Period. The year when the Eight Characters meet the Taohua is the best time for marriage. However, for those who are already married, it might be the year of the "rotten taohua".
10. When the male's印星 (yin xing) is restricted, and the female's伤官星 (shangguan xing) is restricted:
In the male's Eight Characters, the Yin Xing (mother star) restricts the Wife Star (Cai Xing). If the Yin Xing that restricts the Wife Star is constrained, it is easy for the male to get married. For females, the Shangguan Xing (伤官星) restricts the Official Star (Guan Xing). If the Shangguan Xing that restricts the Official Star is constrained, it is easy for the female to get married. Simply put, when the star that hinders marriage is removed or transferred, marriage naturally comes.
