Ken's Cyber Cave: One Pillar Bazi: Marriage Prediction

Today is your lucky day! After reading this post, you can predict one's marriage life in general without knowing much about Bazi.

Here are the step by step procedures:
1. Use the birthday the person and convert it into a Bazi natal chart with 4 columns. Each column is called a "pillar". Our focus is on the day-pillar (see Appendix below for simple procedures to do it).
2. Write down the name of the day pillar from the Bazi-Calculator output (see Appendix). In the Appendix below the example day pillar is geng-shen.
3. Match the entries below and read explanations.

KEY TO DAY-PILLAR AND MARITAL BLISS
Day-pillar consists of two parts. The upper part is the day-stem or daymaster which represents the chart owner. Lower part is the day-branch or "spouse palace". It represents the spouse of the daymaster (DM). This method checks which star occupies the spouse palace to determine marital bliss of the chart owner.

1. Great and happy marriage for male daymaster with wealth star (zheng-cai/ pian-cai) in day-branch (spouse palace). Wealth star stands for wife for a male DM. If wealth star is favorable, the male may get wealth from wife or her family. If DM is a female, the marriage is also above average because wealth star nurtures power star (husband star for female). There are eight day-pillars in this category:
-- yi-chou, yi-wei, bing-shen, ding-you, wu-zi, ji-hai, geng-yin and ren-wu.

2. Great and happy marriage for female daymaster with power star (zheng-guan/ qi-sha) in day-branch (spouse palace). Power star stands for husband for a female DM. If power star is favorable, the husband is famous with high status. If DM is a male, the marriage is also above average if he is a strong DM. There are eight day-pillars in this category:
-- jia-shen, yi-you, ding-hai, ji-mao, geng-wu, xin-si, gui-chou and gui-wei.

3. Good and happy marriage for female daymaster with resource star (zheng-yin/ pian-yin) in day-branch (spouse palace). Resource star stands for mother or older generation. Resource star in spouse palace means spouse nurturing DM. Hence it will be a happy and blissful marriage for both male and female DM. There are twelve day-pillars for this category:-- jia-zi, yi-hai, bing-yin, ding-mao, wu-wu, ji-si, geng-chen, geng-xu, xin-chou, xin-wei and ren-shen.

4. Different outcomes for female and male daymaster with output star (shang-guan/ shi-shen) in day-branch (spouse palace). Output star nurtures wealth star (wife for male DM). Output star is favorable when DM is strong. Hence for strong male DM with output star in spouse palace will have an above average marriage but poor relationship if this male DM is weak. Output star hurts power star (husband for female DM). Hence, marital relationship will be bad if female DM has output star sitting in spouse palace. There are nine day-pillars in this category:
-- jia-wu, yi-si, bing-chen, bing-xu, ji-you, geng-zi, xin-hai, ren-yin and gui-mao.

5. High divorce rate for both female and male daymasters with peer star (bi-jian/ jie-cai) in day-branch (spouse palace). Peer star controls or "snatches" wealth star (wife for male DM) and drains power star (husband for female DM). Hence people with this peer star in spouse palace have higher divorce rate. There are twelve day-pillars for this category:
-- jia-yin, yi-mao, bing-wu, ding-si, wu-xu, ji-wei, ji-chou, geng-shen, xin-you, ren-zi and gui-hai.

6. Incorrect yin-yang days are inauspicious for marriage. Both male and female born in these days will remarry. There are 12 "Incorrect yin-yang days" (阴阳差错日):
-- bing-zi, ding-chou, wu-yin, xin-mao, ren-chen, gui-si, bing-wu, ding-wei, wu-shen, xin-you, ren-xu and gui-hai.

7. This two day-pillars jinx spouse: jia-chen and ji-xu
