Five-Step Analysis Process
Step 1: Examine Liuhe (六合) Palace
Liuhe is the core symbol of marriage; its palace state directly reflects marital conditions:
🚨 六合+死门 (Most Inauspicious)
Significance:
- Couples communicate little; after arguments, neither speaks
- Commits marriage disaster; first marriage unlikely to last, second marriage also uncertain
- Lacks happiness; easily leads to marriage despair
- Vulnerable to external destructive forces; family falls apart
Resolution:
- Venerate deities and Buddhas, practice Buddhist/Taoist spirit, cultivate body and character
- Marriage itself is cultivation; over time naturally transforms danger to safety
| Combination | Significance | Resolution |
|---|---|---|
| 六合+惊门 | Conflicts, arguments, estrangement; vulnerable to external destruction; internal conflicts lead to separation | Strengthen tolerance, reduce suspicion; remain calm in events; use "unwavering, sincere and open" belief to break Alarm Gate negative energy |
| 六合+景门 | Peach blossom, affair, vanity; View Gate = peach blossom, post-marriage peach blossom = affair; also represents entertainment, banquets, performance; unrestrained desire endangers marriage | Clear heart, few desires; restrain vanity; strengthen responsibility; couples maintain "romance" state; occasional travel for freshness |
| 六合+伤门 | Easily has injury, conflict | - |
| 六合+杜门 | Blocked, poor communication | - |
| 六合+开/休/生门 | Auspicious gates; marriage relatively smooth | - |
| 六合落空亡 | Light: Divorce, broken engagement, disappointment in marriage Heavy: Disgust with mortal world, all is void, despair about marriage Many long-term singles often due to Liuhe falling void | - |
Step 2: Examine Yi-Geng (乙庚) Relationship
| Pattern | Implication |
|---|---|
| 乙+丙 | Female will have affair; if encounters View Gate, Tianpeng Star, peach blossom palace—affair more serious |
| 庚+丁 | Male will have affair; similarly aggravated by View Gate, Tianpeng Star |
| 乙+辛 (青龙逃走) | Ancient text: family destruction, wealth scattering, female initiates divorce Actual Application - Must consider palace: • Falls Dui 7 Palace: Yi Wood extremely weak, female constrained, cannot divorce • Falls Zhen 3 Palace: Yi Wood strong, Xin Metal clashed, female can divorce but not smoothly • Falls Kan 1 Palace: Yi Wood nourished, Xin Metal weakened, female requests divorce, male will agree • Falls Kun 2 Palace: Yi Wood enters tomb, female attached to male, ultimately ends indecisively |
