Method of Predicting Marriage with the Four Pillars:
First, Assessing the Fate of Spouse:1. If the month pillar has a伤官 (Shang Guan) on the stem and a七杀 (Qi Sha) on the branch, a woman with this combination will have a life of hardship.
2. If a woman's day pillar is on a伤官 (Shang Guan), regardless of whether it is favorable or not, she will inevitably harm her husband and have an unstable marriage.
3. If a man's day pillar is on a比劫 (Bi Jie), he must look to his wife, leading to an unstable marriage.
4. Women born on the days of 甲寅 (Jia Yin) or 戊申 (Wu Shen) may face a husband who dies unexpectedly.
5. If a man's day pillar is on a偏财 (Pian Cai), he tends to be flirtatious and prefers mistresses over his wife.
6. If a man's day pillar is on an印 (Yin), it may hinder his wife, and the wife may not get along with his mother.
7. If both 官 (Guan) and 杀 (Sha) appear on the stem for a woman, it indicates an unstable marriage, possibly involving a second marriage or infidelity.
8. If a man's stem reveals either 正财 (Zheng Cai) or 偏财 (Pian Cai), it suggests an unstable marriage, possibly involving a second marriage or infidelity.
9. If a woman's Shang Guan is strong without a财 (Cai), she may lose her husband and remarry.
10. If the day branch is in conflict, it indicates marital instability and difficulties in getting along with one's spouse.
11. If the day branch is combined or transformed, it indicates that the spouse may have an affair or a disloyal heart.
12. If a man's day branch contains a财 (Cai) star, regardless of its strength, it is called the "wife's palace," meaning he can find a good wife.
13. If a woman's day branch contains a财 (Cai) star and it is a favorable element, it means she receives support from her husband, who is capable and competent.
Second, Assessing the Appearance, Temperament, and Personality of the Spouse
1. If the day branch is 子 (Zi), 午 (Wu), 卯 (Mao), or 酉 (You), the spouse is likely to be beautiful or capable.
2. If the day branch is 寅 (Yin), 申 (Shen), 巳 (Si), or 亥 ( Hai), the spouse is average-looking, talkative, and intelligent.
3. If the day branch is 辰 (Chen), 戌 (Xu), 丑 (Chou), or 末 (Mo), the spouse is less attractive, simple, and honest.
The above three points are commonly found in books. There is another point not mentioned elsewhere: if the day branch is the same as the month branch, the spouse will be handsome or capable regardless of what the day branch is.
Another detailed method to assess the appearance of the spouse is to consider both the day branch and the "spousal star" (the heavenly stem and earthly branch representing the spouse). By analyzing the five elements involved, you can accurately determine the characteristics of the spouse. Fire represents beauty, rosy complexion; Wood represents a tall and straight figure; Water represents roundness and dark skin; Earth represents a sturdy body and yellow complexion; Metal represents fair skin and a sharp personality. The spouse's characteristics are reflected by the nature of the spousal star.
Third, Determining the Age Difference Between Spouses
Mainly based on the tendency of the ten gods (shen) in the birth chart.
1. If the birth chart shows a tendency towards 食伤 (Shi Shang) generating wealth, regardless of gender, the spouse is younger. The stronger the tendency, the greater the age difference.
2. If the birth chart shows a tendency towards 官印 (Guan Yin) generating each other, regardless of gender, the spouse is older. The stronger the tendency, the greater the age difference.
3. If the chart shows neither of these tendencies and is balanced, the age difference is small.
4. Some people may marry someone close in age in their youth but have a larger age gap in their second marriage. Why? Because when entering the second marriage, the luck period (da yun) may show a tendency towards Shi Shang generating wealth, which leads to marrying someone younger, or a tendency towards Guan Yin generating each other, which leads to marrying someone older. Therefore, when assessing age differences, it is necessary to combine the luck period during the appropriate marriage time for a comprehensive analysis.
Fourth, Assessing the Distance Between Spouse and Self
1. Taking the day stem and branch as the center, examine the distance of the spousal star. The year branch and year stem indicate a long distance, the day branch indicates a short distance, while the month branch, month stem, hour branch, and hour stem represent medium distance.
If the spousal star appears in a certain position, the stem appearing openly reflects the surface location, while the branch containing it reflects the ancestral origin location.
2. If the spousal star is in harmony with the day stem and branch, there is a possibility of reducing the distance.
3. If the spousal star is in conflict with the day branch, it may lead to a longer distance. For example, if the day and month branches are the spousal stars and they clash, the relationship may shift from close to distant.
