A Long-Distance Relationship

Ms. W is articulate and poised, a specialist in marketing who throws herself wholeheartedly into her work. Because her boyfriend is away on business trips across Europe and America all year round, she has long been in a long-distance relationship with him, for more than four years now.
How does a chart show whether someone will have a long-distance relationship? This time, let's focus on 紅鸞 (Hong Luan) and 天喜 (Tian Xi) to look at the signs of a long-distance relationship.
紅鸞 and 天喜
- 紅鸞 sits with 天梁 (Tian Liang) and sees 地劫 (Di Jie) in the 未 Palace.
- 天喜 sits with 天機 (Tian Ji); besides 地劫 in 未, 地空 (Di Kong) in the 卯 Palace also clashes in.
- In love, 空劫 (Kong Jie) can symbolize several things: no partner for a long time, or a partner far away. As the name suggests, 空劫 means "empty," or "the person isn't there."
Discussing 紅鸞 and 天喜 together, seeing 空劫 already carries the image of a "long-distance relationship."
太陽 (Tai Yang) is the husband star
- 太陽 in 巳 is exalted and sees 祿存 (Lu Cun). 巳 is one of the four horse places, already a sign of going out and away, and with 祿存 there, work centers on being away.
- 太陽's stem 癸 makes 貪狼 (Tan Lang) become 化忌 ×, so 巨門 (Ju Men) in the 亥 Palace is flanked by 化忌 ×. 巨門 in a horse place also has the image of "隔角煞" (the separating-corner malefic). 隔角煞, acting on family and friends, easily means distance and difficulty meeting.
- 巨門 in 亥, stem 己, also makes 文曲 (Wen Qu) become 化忌 ×, flanking 巨門 again. The 隔角煞 pattern is set; if she doesn't choose carefully, she's prone to long-distance relationships or a weekend marriage, apart more than together. Fortunately, today there are voice and video calls, which help sustain their relationship.
- 巨門 sees 空劫 clashing in, letting 隔角煞 take effect even further. Ms. W and her boyfriend are long-distance, but they don't even talk or call every day. Their relationship is sustained purely by trust, which isn't easy.
Conclusion
巨門 governs speech, and 太陽 is the husband star; together in a horse place, they easily form the 隔角煞.
In my experience, 隔角煞 tends to show up as a "long-distance relationship" or "marrying far from home." In the end one is separated from family and friends, and sustaining relationships is harder than for most people.
