My friend's younger brother, Mr. L, is a successful salesman. Since his single days, he has socialized with many bosses and frequented hostess bars. After marrying and having children, he reined himself in a little. But then he became romantically involved with a client he did a lot of business with. Although both he and the other woman know reality won't allow it, their business is so closely bound together that even when they want to keep it purely business, they can never cut off this fleeting affection.
For a chart of infidelity, 紅鸞 (Hong Luan) and 天喜 (Tian Xi) are of course important, but 天姚 (Tian Yao) and 咸池 (Xian Chi) can't be underestimated either. Taking 紅鸞 and 天喜 as the basis, the chart:
Starting from 紅鸞
- 紅鸞 in 未 sits with 紫微 (Zi Wei) and 破軍 (Po Jun). This is the "君臣不義 pattern" (ruler and minister without loyalty); its effect in love is naturally an outlook on love that differs from traditional, conventional views.
- 破軍 is lord of the spouse and sits with 火星 (Huo Xing) and 陀羅 (Tuo Luo). The verse says: "破軍 relies wholly on the cruelty of 擎羊 and 鈴星." In fact 擎羊 (Qing Yang) can be swapped for 陀羅, and 鈴星 (Ling Xing) for 火星. This chart's outlook on love doesn't care what others think; he does as he pleases.
- 天鉞 (Tian Yue) sits with 紅鸞, forming the "sitting with nobility, facing nobility pattern." His romantic developments help his career a good deal.
From the above we can see his view of marriage differs from the traditional one; he cares less about what others think.
The effect of 咸池 and 天姚
- 咸池 is in the 酉 Palace, a land of romance; its stem 乙 makes 太陰 (Tai Yin) become 化忌 ×. 太陰 is the "wife star"; this 化忌 makes Mr. L feel it's all just a passing fling, without any particular guilt.
- 天姚 is in the 午 Palace, also a land of romance; its stem 壬 makes 天梁 (Tian Liang) become 化祿 ●. 天梁 governs "the unexpected," so at work Mr. L unconsciously develops romances he shouldn't.
- The link between 天同 (Tian Tong) and 天姚 makes him prone to indulging in romantic pleasure, but because of 地空 (Di Kong), when it's time to part, there's no clinging, no inability to let go. He can start a romance easily, and also let go easily.
Compared with 紅鸞 and 天喜, 咸池 and 天姚 are "wild romance." Wild romance is easily triggered by 化忌. But 地空 appears and dilutes the romantic quality, so he doesn't wreck his career over wild romance. A passing fling: he can drop it whenever he says.
Conclusion
Meeting a man like this, I think most people would call him a scumbag. But in the world of fate, you have to know that anything is possible. All the love and hate between people leaps off the chart. We can only act as interpreters and give advice; we can't judge. As the saying goes, "Everyone has their own hell." That is, everyone has thoughts they can't control and cravings they can't stop. When you come across a case like this, just treat it as a story and a glimpse of life's many faces. And I won't give it any positive or negative judgment.
