Husband and Wife (Fu Qi)

Marriage read from the wealth star

For a male chart the wife is read from the wealth spirit, and this chapter says the connection is not accidental: the favourable spirit in a chart tends to lean on the wealth star, which is why the marriage reading is really a reading of how the day master relates to what it can command. Whether the bond is close or distant is judged from whether that star is supported, exposed, or blocked — the same structural questions asked of any other useful element.
