- Compatibility Analysis in Ba Zi

In life, we all interact with various people who play different roles. Generally, compatibility refers to how naturally and easily we can interact with someone. A low compatibility percentage means that if you want the relationship to work, both parties need to put in more effort to achieve positive results.

For all our friends, we tend to interact in the same way, regardless of who they are. Similarly, we initially interact with all business partners in a similar manner, only later adapting nuances that relate more closely to the individual.

In Ba Zi Advisor, we measure and inform you about how well you relate to a specific role.

Traditional online dating can be challenging for singles seeking lasting love. However, Ba Zi Advisor is not a traditional matchmaking site. Out of all the men or women you might meet online, very few will be specifically compatible with you, making it difficult to determine a potential partner's compatibility level through conventional methods such as browsing classified ads, online ads, or viewing profile photos.

Our compatibility system does the work for you by narrowing down the field from thousands of potential clients to match you with a select group of compatible matches with whom you can build a quality relationship.

Every criterion we consider provides a certain dimension of compatibility expressed in percentage points, which are summed up in the end. By carefully reading the statements, you'll gain an understanding of the dimensions considered when defining a relationship between two people and how this special relationship is evaluated in each criterion. Most importantly, you'll learn which criteria are most important to you in finding the right partner. We have talked about these criteria in our article "Navigating Relationships through Ba Zi Compatibility Analysis"

Perhaps the most crucial thing in relationships is not to "force" the situation.

Now that we've explained what we do, in this article, we aim to explain in general terms how we do it based on traditional Ba Zi methodologies. In general, there are two important perspectives that can be used to evaluate BaZi regarding relationships with others.

The first method is to look at the pillars as Palaces (宮位). This method allows you to assess the nature of your relationships with something (such as a career) or someone (spouse, parents, children).

The second method of reading a BaZi is through the Ten Gods (十神).

Understanding Compatibility in Ba Zi

When it comes to evaluating relationships or marriage, it's a good idea to ask a friend to look at your chart instead of trying to figure it all out by yourself. Sometimes, getting an opinion from someone who isn't deeply involved in your life can give you a different perspective on your specific concerns.

One of the most important things in relationships is not to try to force the situation. If the right person is meant to come into your life, they will. If it's not the right time, then focus on what is right – your career, making money, personal satisfaction, personal growth.

While love and relationships are important, so is living a happy, healthy, and vibrant life.

Peach Blossom Star analysis

As you might remember from our article "What are the Auxiliary Stars in Ba Zi?", the Peach Blossom Flower is the star of attractiveness. That's why we can look at the presence of this star in your Destiny Chart to discover some important aspects. When someone mentions that you're going through a "peach blossom luck", they're actually saying you're lucky in love. The "peach blossom stars" are a certain group of earthly branches that can appear in a BaZi set. You could call them "attraction magnets". They give a person charisma, a certain mysterious factor that draws people to them or gives them a magical touch when it comes to managing or influencing others.

Using the Peach Blossom Star method to check your attractiveness is the first and simplest way to analyze potential relationships. Of course, it's not the only way.

Having a bit of Peach Blossom can enhance one's attractiveness, but having too many Peach Blossom Stars isn't good for relationships, especially for women seeking stable relationships.

Humans often behave, react, and respond differently to different people around them. The elemental effect of time factors (luck pillars, annual pillars, and monthly pillars) all play a role in shaping how we relate to others at different times in our lives, or even in different months of the year.

Are you really the marrying type?

The truth is, not everyone is cut out for marriage; some people are better off being single. While some may find their lives improving with marriage, others may find that marriage isn't for them.

There are two methods to assess a person's marriage luck:

1. Assessing the Spouse Palace
2. Assessing the quality of the Wealth Star(for men) or the Influence Star (for women)

Tips and Tricks

• Let's say in a particular Luck Pillar, there's a clash with the element in your Month Pillar. Immediately, you might notice that the issue could involve your relationship with your parents or superiors.
• Ungrateful Punishments are usually not good for family ties. Depending on the palaces affected by Ungrateful Punishments, it typically weakens the affinity with that relative.
• An unfavorable element in the Year Pillar indicates:
  • Your grandparents may not be very supportive in life or you may not have much affinity with them.
  • It may also indicate a less favorable family environment (for example: a broken family or perhaps a dispersed family).
  • You or your parents may have to be "self-made," as you or your parents haven't inherited anything from your grandparents for you or your parents to gain an advantage in life.

Spouse Palace Analysis

The Spouse Palace symbolizes your relationship with your spouse.

• In most cases, if you have a Favorable Element in your Spouse's Palace, you'll likely have a good marriage, meaning your relationship with your spouse will generally be positive.
• But if you have an Unfavorable Element in this palace, you might not feel like your relationship with your spouse would be great.
• People with Favorable Elements in their Spouse's Palace don’t have to work as hard as those with Unfavorable Elements in their Spouse's Palace.

Tips and Tricks

• The Year Pillar in the Destiny Chart is called the Grand Duke.
• The Earthly Branch of the Day Pillar in the Destiny Chart is called the Spouse Palace.
• It's beneficial for the Spouse Palace to avoid clashes with any other palace in the Destiny Chart.
• There are major clashes and minor clashes. Pay attention to major ones, like clashes due to a Luck Pillar, as they significantly impact a relationship. Minor clashes, such as those from a Year Pillar, aren't as severe.
• Any other relationship with another earthly branch in the Destiny Chart will affect the quality of relationships for that individual.
• A combination with the Spouse Palace isn't favorable—it will combine with someone or something else, affecting the relationship.
• The ups and downs of any relationship appear in the Luck Pillars.
• Ba Zi Synastry means compatibility between two Destiny Charts and can be person-to-person, person-to-country, or country-to-country.
• We analyze the partner's Wealth Star for men or Influence Star for women :
  • In the Destiny Chart, if it's absent:
    • The person doesn't have a stable view of marriage.
    • They struggle to maintain stable relationships without issues.
    • If married, their partner isn't present in the marriage—automatic relational alienation.
  • It shouldn't be in clashes, harm, punishments, or destruction.
  • The specific element for the partner should be favorable for the Destiny Chart.
  • If the specific element for the partner is unfavorable:
    • The person tends to be more promiscuous and lacks a traditional view of marriage or serious relationships.
    • They might prioritize their job over marriage.
    • They aren't family-oriented.
    • They have low-quality relationships.
• If the Day Master is in combination with an Earthly Branch from the Luck Pillar or a specific year, then the chances for marriage or a new relationship are highest.
• When both the Luck Pillar and the Year Pillars create a double whammy in the Spouse Palace, it often indicates a very turbulent period in marital relationships.
• If the Wealth Star or Influence Star are Favorable Elements to the person with regard to their Day Master, chances are, the quality of marriage for the person would be quite good. If these elements are Unfavorable, the person may have difficulty enjoying their marriage or may have a troubled marriage.

• Relationships with Life Partners (A vs. B)

  • Men prefer older female partners as friends = in heavenly stems, they have 戊 WU (yang earth) and 癸 GUI (yin water).
  • If it's a woman, she prefers older male partners.

• Business Partnerships

  • A man with 戊 WU (yang earth) and 癸 GUI (yin water) in heavenly stems - if the man is a business leader, he prefers collaborating with established and reputable companies in his business plans.

• If Heavenly Stem A isn't at all in Heavenly Stem B, then it's not good.

  • Heavenly Stem A doesn't exist in Heavenly Nobleman B – B gets bored.
  • Heavenly Nobleman B doesn't exist in Heavenly Stem A – A gets bored.

• Sexual Orientation

  • Men could be gay if:
    • Their Wealth Star is extremely unfavorable, and
    • Their Friends Star is extremely favorable.
  • Women could be lesbians if:
    • Their Influence Star is extremely unfavorable, and
    • Their Friends Star is extremely favorable.

• Combinations in Destiny Chart
  • If the Day Master is combined in Earthly Branches from Destiny Chart, then people generally have the most connections, they make relationships easily
  • Combos involving Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches in the Luck Pillar or the Year Pillar:
    • Over the ten years of the period, the likelihood of finding partners or collaborations increases.
    • If the resulting element is strong and favorable for Earthly Branch, it's okay.
    • If the combo is within a year, then it's okay for that year.
• If Heavenly Stem is rooted - either stronger or weaker:
  • Rooted Heavenly Stem always indicates a persistent person (even if the Heavenly Stem is dead).
  • If the Heavenly Stem isn't rooted, the person is changeable and gives up easily.
