Celebrity Focus 4: A Tangled Web of Romance?
AI translated from the original Chinese.
After half a year, I've finally finished the course materials for the star-nature class. I should have more time to keep articles updated.
Kennedy was exceptionally capable and deeply charismatic. And so his romantic history was colorful; the most talked-about affair was his relationship with Marilyn Monroe.
First let's see why Kennedy's romances never stopped!
Transformed:
First let's discuss Kennedy himself.
Kennedy's main star:
天機 (Tian Ji) in 辰
- 天機 and 天梁 (Tian Liang) are strong in 辰
- Lu stars concentrate on 天機 and 天梁
- 天機 and 天梁 sit with 天喜 (Tian Xi) and 天姚 (Tian Yao), and see 紅鸞 (Hong Luan)
Lu stars seeing romance stars means charisma. But if Ji stars concentrate at the same time and see romance stars, the romantic history gets colorful.
天同 (Tian Tong) in 子
- 紅鸞 in 戌, stem 庚, makes 天同 become Ji
- 天同 is a Water star, a romance star in the broad sense
- 天同 and 太陰 (Tai Yin) form the fine "水澄桂萼" (clear water, osmanthus calyx) pattern, but with many Ji stars and seeing 咸池 (Xian Chi) and 天姚, it shows a tendency toward wild romance
- 天同 sees 空劫 (Kong Jie). 空劫 work in many ways: they can dilute romance stars, and they can also intensify them. Either way, they make Kennedy's romantic history mysterious and the stuff of speculation.
Next, Marilyn Monroe's influence in Kennedy's chart. Let's bring in her data:
As discussed above, 天同 is the image of Kennedy's amorousness, so let's see Monroe's effect on 天同.
Monroe at 天同
- Stem 庚 directly makes 天同 become 化忌.
- 天同 化忌 triggers 咸池 and 天姚, the two wild romance stars.
So the outside rumors seem to have something to them.
Monroe's own main star 武曲 (Wu Qu)
- 武曲 in 丑 sits with 貪狼 (Tan Lang). Auspicious stars: 左輔 and 右弼 (Zuo Fu, You Bi) and 天鉞 (Tian Yue); malefics: 擎羊 and 陀羅 (Qing Yang, Tuo Luo) and 鈴星 (Ling Xing). None sits with 武曲, so the effect isn't extreme, but we can't say there's no small effect.
- The stems of 武曲's three sides and four directions are 癸, 乙, 丁, 辛.
癸: 貪狼 Ji, damaging Monroe's main star
乙: 太陰 Ji, triggering Kennedy's wild-romance pattern of 天同 and 太陰
丁: 太陰 Lu, also key to triggering the wild-romance pattern
辛: 文昌 (Wen Chang) Ji; though it seems to have no effect, it also damages Kennedy's 破軍 (Po Jun), the lord of the spouse.
Lu means affinity; Ji turns it underground. Kennedy's endless romances relate to his 天機 in 辰 sitting with 天姚, and also to the overly strong Water stars in his 子 Palace. But the mysterious, speculation-inviting nature of his romances mainly comes from the influence of 空劫.
Summary
Kennedy's romantic affairs have been passed by word of mouth as gossip. But they didn't actually affect his wisdom and judgment in handling affairs of state. Yet Kennedy's assassination inevitably leads people to link all these mysterious events together. To this day they are still analyzed and discussed.
Next time, let's talk about the Kennedy assassination!
