The Lonely Woman Painter (Part 2)

AI translated from the original Chinese.

Generated by Copilot

In the last article, we saw that Ms. Z often feels lonely because of her estrangement from her family. This article discusses why she chose painting to deal with her inner loneliness.

天同 (Tian Tong) governs "ink and letters," which today most often means calligraphy and painting. So, knowing Ms. Z uses painting as an outlet for her emotions, let's take 天同 as our subject and discuss painting's effect on her.

The role of 天同 in the chart

天同 in 亥

天同, the star of blessings, speaks of ink and letters and also governs inner happiness. Ms. Z's 天同 sits with 化祿 ●, which can be read as 天同 being her way to find happiness. So by turning to painting, her inner distress can be relieved.

天同's stem 丁: 太陰 (Tai Yin) becomes 化祿 ●

太陰 governs "lifelong happiness." From the last article we know Ms. Z's loneliness comes from her estrangement from her family. The 丁 of "天同, ink and letters" can resolve the 太陰 problem.

That is, painting lets Ms. Z temporarily forget her estrangement from her family (太陰 化忌 ×), and so find a sense of peace and happiness (太陰 化祿 ●).

And 太陰 化祿 ● happens to meet the romance spirit stars 紅鸞, 天喜, 咸池 and 天姚 (Hong Luan, Tian Xi, Xian Chi, Tian Yao). The romance spirit stars can be read as the beauty of art.

Conclusion

Life can't always be smooth sailing, and there are times of distress. That Ms. Z can find value and happiness in life through painting is rare. May everyone caught in psychological difficulty, like Ms. Z, find their own remedy and heal themselves.
