In ancient times, when people arranged marriages, they would calculate whether the couple’s Bazi (八字) matched for marriage compatibility. So, how should we interpret a Bazi Marriage Compatibility Chart (八字合婚排盘)? The Bazi determines a person’s character traits. The two individuals’ life elements lack common ground if the Bazi are incompatible. Naturally, their personalities differ, which could lead to conflicts in daily life, akin to "water and fire clashing" (水火不容).
What is Bazi Marriage Compatibility, and How is it Interpreted?
Bazi Marriage Compatibility (八字合婚) refers to the practice of exchanging birth details before marriage to predict the compatibility of the couple’s Bazi. Marriage harmony is the foundation of family happiness and an essential factor in societal stability. Over decades, a happy family may seem to pass in the blink of an eye, whereas an unhappy marriage can make each day feel endless.
Bazi Compatibility involves comparing the Bazi of both parties, examining the harmony of their Five Elements (五行), and checking for potential clashes in their luck cycles. This in-depth study reveals the likely fortune of the couple's married life and provides rational suggestions to prevent potential marital misfortune.
Common Methods for Bazi Compatibility Judgment
1. Gods & Killings Method (神煞法):
This method involves checking for specific Gods & Killings (神煞) in the Bazi chart. If a man’s chart contains a Gods & Killings that harms his wife (克妻), the woman should be cautious about marrying him. Similarly, if a woman’s chart shows signs of abusing her husband (克夫), the man should reconsider marrying her. This method has been proven to have significant predictive accuracy.
2. Zodiac Method (属相法):
This method analyses the relationship between the Earthly Branches (年支) of both partners’ birth years. If there are destructive combinations, such as harm (相害), clash (相冲), or punishment (相刑) between their birth years, the match is considered unsuitable for marriage.
3. Year Pillar Method (年柱法):
This method assesses the compatibility based on the Year Pillar (年柱) of both partners’ Bazi. If the Heavenly Stems (天干) and Earthly Branches (地支) of their Year Pillars are harmonious (合), the marriage is auspicious. If they are in a productive relationship (相生), it’s also favourable. On the contrary, clashes in the Year Pillar (天克地冲) suggest misfortune in marriage.
4. Useful God Method (用神法):
If the (用神) the useful god in the chart — of both partners supports each other, the marriage is favourable. If they clash, the marriage may face difficulties.
5. Bazi Compatibility Method (四柱合婚法):
This method aligns the couple's Bazi (年柱, 月柱, 日柱, 时柱), matching Year Pillar to Year Pillar, Month Pillar to Month Pillar, and so on. If there are many harmonious combinations (相合相生), the marriage is auspicious. However, if there are many clashes (相冲), punishments (相刑), or destructive elements (相克), it suggests a potentially troubled marriage.
