Abstract
Divorce often occurs in years when the spouse star is clashed or stimulated, such as when the official star is clashed (e.g., in years where the official star is affected). The active or passive nature of divorce in a "fuyin" (repetition) situation depends on the strength of the "bixie" (competitive) and "official" stars in the birth chart. A strong bixie often leads to active divorce, while a heavily harmed official star tends to result in passive divorce. It may also present a mixed state due to repeated tension.

When Does Divorce Occur in Year-Day Fuyin?

Year-day fuyin refers to the case where the heavenly stems and earthly branches of the year pillar and day pillar are the same. The year pillar represents ancestors and foundation, while the day pillar represents the individual and marriage. This fuyin causes overlap between the "family foundation and marital energy," leading to accumulation of marital conflicts, and divorce usually relates to the "clash or damage of the spouse star" or "the fuyin intensified by the current year."

From the perspective of the spouse star's condition, divorce is likely to appear in the current year when the spouse star is clashed or damaged. For men, the financial star represents the spouse, while for women, the official star represents the spouse. If there is year-day fuyin and the spouse star is weak, and it is clashed or damaged in the current year, the marriage is prone to break down.

For example, if a woman's year and day are Jia Xu (the official star is metal), the fuyin causes the metal energy to be buried by earth. In the current year of Geng Chen (Chen and Xu clash, and Geng metal is clashed by Jia wood), the official star is damaged, possibly leading to divorce due to the husband's career change or infidelity.

Additionally, when the spouse palace (day branch) is clashed or damaged by the current year, divorce is also likely to occur. For instance, if the day branch is water, and the current year is fire, which clashes with the water, the marital foundation becomes unstable, and long-term accumulated conflicts erupt.

From the interaction between fuyin and the current year, changes are more likely to occur during the "zhi nian" (the same year as the birth year) or the "clash year" of the fuyin column. For example, if the year and day are Bing Wu fuyin, and the current year is Wu fire (the same birth year), the excessive fire energy intensifies impatience, leading to more quarrels with the partner;

In the current year of Zi water (clashing with Wu fire), the clash between water and fire intensifies conflicts, potentially leading to divorce after intense arguments. However, divorce is not inevitable. If the current year has a balancing element (e.g., in the case of Bing Wu fuyin, if the current year is Yin wood, which nourishes fire and balances the conflict), it might delay or avoid divorce through mediation by elders or living apart, showing that fuyin increases risk but does not determine the timing.

Is the Divorce in a Fuyin Situation Active or Passive?

The active or passive nature of divorce in a fuyin situation depends on the balance of strength between the "bixie" (competitive) star and the "spouse" star in the birth chart, as well as the personality traits of the individual, and it is not a single pattern.

In fuyin situations where the bixie star is strong, the divorce is often initiated actively. Bixie represents self and competition; in fuyin, self-awareness is strengthened. If the spouse star is an enemy, the individual may express dissatisfaction with the marriage directly and even take the initiative to end the relationship.

For example, a man with a year and day of Wu Shen fuyin (Shen metal as bixie), where the financial star (wood) is an enemy, in fuyin, the bixie star clashing with the financial star indicates accumulated dissatisfaction with the wife, leading to active divorce, viewing the marriage as a burden. Such active divorces are often characterized by decisiveness, such as quickly moving out and cutting off contact, with little hesitation.

In fuyin situations where the spouse star is severely damaged, the divorce is often passive. If the spouse star is a favorable element but is harmed by the fuyin column, the individual still has affection for the marriage but is forced to accept the divorce due to the spouse's initiative to leave or objective factors (such as infidelity or disappearance).

A woman with year and day of Ren Zi fuyin (the official star is earth), where the earth is damaged by water, if the husband moves away for work or proposes to break up, the woman, though unwilling, ultimately accepts the divorce, feeling regret. This passive situation often involves "procrastination," such as repeatedly trying to reconcile but failing to change the outcome.

Some fuyin situations show a "passive to active" mixed state. Initially, due to nostalgia (fuyin represents attachment), the person passively bears the conflict, but once the conflict crosses the limit (such as betrayal), they switch from passive to active, decisively ending the relationship. For example, a person with year and day of Ji Si fuyin (Si fire as bixie), who initially endures family conflicts, may become active in divorce after discovering long-term deception by the spouse, gathering evidence and initiating the divorce, completing the transition from passive to active.

Q: If there is year-day fuyin but the current marriage is stable, will there still be a risk of divorce in the future?
A: There may be potential risks, but it needs to be judged based on subsequent years. If future years can support the spouse star (e.g., for a male, a year with strong wood supporting the financial star), or have an印星 (supporting element) to resolve the fuyin clash (e.g., in a soil-metal fuyin, a fire year), the risk decreases. If a year that clashes or damages the spouse star occurs, communication should be done in advance to resolve conflicts and avoid accumulating dissatisfaction.

Q: What should be noted when remarrying after a divorce in a fuyin situation?
A: When remarrying, choose a spouse whose star is favorable, avoiding someone with the same animal sign or same element as the previous spouse (to reduce repeated fuyin). Avoid the current years that clash with the fuyin column, such as if the year and day are Jia Yin fuyin, avoid the Geng Jin year (clashing with Yin wood). After marriage, cultivate common goals and use new ways of getting along to replace past conflict points, weakening the "repetitive harm" characteristic of fuyin.
