Some people say it's accurate, while others say it's not. In fact, there are many misunderstandings here. The accuracy or inaccuracy depends on three factors: first, the theoretical system of the eight characters itself; second, the level of the fortune-teller; third, the mindset of the person seeking the reading.
If these principles are not clarified, arguing over whether it is accurate or not is meaningless.
The eight characters originate from the "Book of Changes." The theory of the eight characters believes that human destiny is knowable and predictable. We can predict the direction of a person's life by their time of birth.
It provides a theoretical basis for revealing the movement patterns of human fate within the "Qi" (energy) of heaven and earth. Here, "Qi" is an alternative character for "Pí." The heavenly stems represent "Heavenly Qi," and the earthly branches represent "Earthly Qi."
Many people have a biased and rigid idea about the marriage compatibility based on the birth chart. Every time we say that the two have adverse effects such as conflict, injury, or harm, many people immediately think they cannot get married. Some people use examples of couples with incompatible birth charts but good relationships to refute this. In reality, this is due to a lack of understanding of the eight-character predictions. Just like the saying that a woman's "Shangguan" (a term related to her fate) harms her husband, leading to his death, which is a blind spot.
In reality, during the process of analyzing the eight characters for marriage, the conflicts, clashes, injuries, and harmonies we find refer to problems that may occur during the couple's relationship. For example, if the man's zodiac sign is the Rat (Zi), and the woman's is the Ox (Chou), according to the zodiac compatibility, they are in conflict. "Conflict" means instability.
When the zodiac signs form the basis of a marriage, a conflicting zodiac sign suggests that their marriage foundation is not stable and is easily affected by external factors, which can impact their relationship. However, it does not mean that they will definitely break up; other aspects must also be considered.
Or if the day pillars of the two clash or are in conflict, the day stem represents oneself, and the day branch is the marriage palace. A clash between day stems indicates significant differences in personality and difficulty reaching consensus on opinions, leading to arguments. Over time, this can affect their relationship. A conflict in the marriage palace implies mutual hostility, leading to disputes when encountering events, and even physical altercations in serious cases, affecting all aspects of their lives.
In real life, couples who often quarrel daily and fight violently are mostly like this. Can such a lifestyle not affect other aspects of your life? The answer is certainly yes.
Keep in mind that a marriage is not only influenced by the two people's eight characters, but also requires communication between the couple. Once you understand the issues, you should resolve the negative aspects of the eight-character compatibility in advance.
In daily life, when disagreements arise, both parties should adjust their emotions and try to discuss solutions when they are emotionally stable. At the same time, the couple's bedroom should be located in the auspicious position of the house to help maintain a harmonious and happy marriage.
The prediction of marriage based on the birth chart is not unreliable, but it should not be judged hastily. Every problem has a solution, and this is the ultimate goal of the eight-character compatibility, not to break up loving couples.
