Fate and Misfortune Are Aligned
A woman with a fate of losing her husband and remarrying would not be able to form a lasting marriage with a man whose fate allows him to grow old with his wife. Similarly, a wealthy and successful man would not marry a woman of poor and humble status. Therefore, by examining a woman's Eight Characters, we can determine the fortune or misfortune of her future husband. In reality, when choosing a partner, women unconsciously match their own fate of wealth or poverty with that of their future husbands. Many women often complain about their husbands' inability to earn a lot of money, but they are unaware that they themselves are destined for a life of hardship and labor. If their husband were to become rich, she might face difficulties in enjoying such good fortune, leading to divorce or other problems. This is the reason why those with different fates cannot be married. Not only should the overall fate of a couple be aligned, but also their annual misfortunes and blessings should match. Therefore, it should be accurate to look at the wife's Eight Characters from the husband's or vice versa.
Identical Eight Characters
There are many similar, supportive, and harmonious elements in the Eight Characters of two people. Even if there are elements that are in conflict, such as an excess of wood requiring metal or an excess of earth requiring wood, or an excess of water requiring earth, this can still result in a complementary balance, allowing both parties to benefit. If this is not the case, even forming a normal friendship would be difficult, let alone falling in love and staying together for a lifetime.
Same Year Branches
We know that the power of the three mutuals (San Hui) in the Earthly Branches is the strongest because they represent one element. "Like calls to like, and similar energies seek each other." Therefore, the probability of a man and a woman being compatible is highest when they are born under the same element. For example, those born in the years of Tiger, Rabbit, and Dragon (Yin, Mao, Chen) have the greatest chance of forming a relationship, as they represent the East Wood element. Those born in the years of Snake, Horse, and Sheep (Si, Wu, Wei) have the greatest chance of forming a relationship, as they represent the South Fire element. Those born in the years of Monkey, Rooster, and Dog (Shen, You, Xu) have the greatest chance of forming a relationship, as they represent the West Metal element. Those born in the years of Pig, Rat, and Ox (Hai, Zi, Chou) have the greatest chance of forming a relationship, as they represent the North Water element. In addition, I have noticed that men and women with the same month branch also have a strong connection.
Synchronized Children
Scientists in the West have proposed the "Sex Chromosome Theory" when exploring the mystery of marriage. In Eastern Four Pillars (Ba Zi) prediction, we can determine the gender of the first child. The gender of the first child in the couple's Eight Characters must be consistent. In other words, both the man and the woman should either have children or not have any children to form a marriage. If one person is destined to have no children, while the other is destined to have children or is supposed to have them in middle age, then they must divorce before the middle age of the person who is destined to have children, because the couple's children must be synchronized.
Matching of the Day Master
The day master (Ri Gan) of the two people is the same, and the combination of one yin and one yang has the greatest chance of forming a relationship, such as Jia day master paired with Yi day master, Geng day master paired with Xin day master, etc. Next comes the five heavenly stems union, such as Jia day master paired with Ji day master, Geng day master paired with Yi day master, etc. Then comes the matching of the same element or the elements that support each other. These five rules of marriage compatibility are the secrets behind the formation of a couple. They are as clear and constant as the sun, moon, rivers, and lakes, and are indispensable. All couples in the world follow these rules without exception. This is exactly what Confucius said: "The common people use it without knowing it." After reaching adulthood, every person's soul constantly and unconsciously searches for the right partner based on these five rules of marriage compatibility. Words cannot fully express the meaning, and language cannot fully convey the intention.
