In traditional Chinese astrology, Yi Wood symbolizes the spouse star, and its position and condition in the Eight Characters (Ba Zi) have a profound impact on one's marriage. This article will explore in depth the meaning of Yi Wood as the spouse star and how it influences the quality and fortune of one's marriage.
The Astrological Meaning of Yi Wood as the Spouse Star
In Ba Zi astrology, Yi Wood represents the spouse star, and its position and condition reflect one's marital situation. If Yi Wood is hidden in the tomb and not visible in the Heavenly Stems, it usually indicates that the marriage may be unsatisfactory, with the wife possibly being weak or sickly, or the marital relationship being unstable. The strength and position of Yi Wood directly relate to the quality and stability of the marriage.
The Relationship Between Yi Wood as the Spouse Star and Marriage
In a man's Ba Zi, the财星 (wealth star) is considered the spouse star, and Yi Wood, as a secondary wealth star, represents the wife. If Yi Wood is hidden in the Wei earth and sits in the Day Pillar (the marital palace), but is not visible, it indicates that the spouse star is weak, and the marriage may come late or the wife may have health issues. Moreover, if Yi Wood is not visible, it may also mean that the wife cannot provide support in financial or career matters.
The Impact of Major Life Periods on Marriage
The trend of major life periods has an undeniable influence on marriage. For example, during the Yi You major period (ages 22-31), the wealth star is virtually exposed, and Yi Wood is combined with Geng, which may lead to obstacles in love and relationships affected by triangles. During the Bing Xu major period (ages 32-41), the wealth star is in a weakened state, and the official star is exposed, making it an unfavorable time for emotional and marital relationships. In the Ding Hai major period (ages 42-51), the伤官 (harsh officer) combines with the杀 (killer), and Hai and Wei form Mao, indicating a favorable period for emotional fortune.
The Recent Fortune and Prospects for Marriage
Recent fortune also affects marriage. For example, last year, the Ji Hai year clashed with the Time Pillar in a heaven-earth clash, and the major period was in Yi You, where the印 (ink) star suppressed the食 (food) star, and the伤官 (harsh officer) clashed with the正官 (right official), leading to possible changes or movements last year. This year, the Geng Zi year clashed with the Month Pillar, and the Zi and Wei formed a piercing, so emotions remained unsatisfactory. Next year, the Xin Chou year marks the transition out of the current major period and entering the Bing Xu period, causing conflicts in the marital palace, leading to emotional turbulence and possible changes in work. During the Ren Yin and Gui Mao years from 2022 to 2023, the annual stars showed the wealth star, bringing chances of opposite-sex relationships. From 2024 to 2025, it is expected to get married.
By analyzing the position and condition of Yi Wood as the spouse star in Ba Zi, we can understand its profound impact on personal marriage. The strength, position, and trends of major life periods of Yi Wood collectively determine the quality and fortune of one's marriage. Understanding this information helps us better grasp the direction of marriage development and prepare for future marital life.
