Is the prediction of marriage based on the birth time accurate?
The Eight Characters come from the "Book of Changes". The belief in the Eight Characters is that human destiny is knowable and predictable, and we can predict the direction of a person's life through their birth time.It reveals the movement laws of human fate in the "Qi" (energy) of the natural world. Here, "Qi" is an alternative character for "Qì". The heavenly stems are "Heavenly Qi", and the earthly branches are "Earthly Qi"
People have a biased and rigid idea about the Eight Characters predicting marriage. Every time we say that the two people's Eight Characters have adverse effects such as conflict, clash, or harm, many people's first reaction is that they cannot get married. Some people will use examples of those whose Eight Characters do not match but still have a good relationship to refute this. In fact, this is due to people's lack of understanding of the Eight Characters prediction. It's like saying that if a woman's "Shangguan" (a type of element in the Eight Characters) harms her husband, it means she will kill her husband, which is entering a blind spot.
In reality, the conflicts, clashes, harms, and harmonies we analyze during the Eight Characters marriage prediction refer to potential issues that may arise in the couple's relationship. For example, if the man's zodiac sign is rat (Zi), and the woman's is ox (Chou), in the zodiac compatibility, they are considered as Zhi Chou clash. Clash means being driven away and instability.
The zodiac signs serve as the basis for marriage compatibility. If the zodiac signs clash, it indicates that the foundation of their marriage is not stable and is easily affected by external factors, thus affecting their marital relationship. However, this does not mean that they will definitely be separated. Other aspects should also be taken into consideration.
Why should marriage be checked by the Eight Characters?
Eight Characters Marriage Compatibility was an old custom. Before marriage, the man and woman would exchange their "Geng Tie" (birth certificates) to check whether their Eight Characters matched, known as "Eight Characters Marriage Compatibility". The so-called marriage compatibility refers to combining the man and woman's Eight Characters together, and thoroughly studying whether the Five Elements between them are harmonious, whether there are serious negative interactions or clashes in their major life periods and annual flows, thereby deducing the fortune or misfortune of their future marriage life, and offering reasonable suggestions to prevent unhappy marriages in advance, thus improving the quality of the marriage.A harmonious marriage is the foundation of family happiness and one of the factors for social stability. Life spans decades, and if the family is happy, it seems to pass quickly. However, if the marriage is unhappy, it feels like years. Although people take marriage very seriously, in reality, there are still many unhappy marriages. There are cases of separation, death, cold relationships, and constant quarrels. Few are the beautiful marriages that last a lifetime, especially in modern times where the divorce rate is rising sharply.
