Celebrity Focus 2: Jolie's Third Marriage
AI translated from the original Chinese.
From "Brad Pitt confirms divorce, says in statement he is saddened"
Jolie's marriage to Brad is the one people talk about most. Jolie had two earlier marriages but no children from them, so why did she adopt three children and have three more while with Brad Pitt? Clearly Brad holds a unique place in Jolie's chart. Let's see how the relationship between the two shows up in the chart!
As usual, transformed, bringing in Brad's data:
Brad and Jolie were both born in 卯 years, so both have 天府 (Tian Fu) as their main star.
Brad's main star 天府 in 丑
- 天府 in 丑, a strong palace.
- 天府's three sides see 左輔 (Zuo Fu), 右弼 (You Bi), 文昌 (Wen Chang) and 文曲 (Wen Qu). A grand pattern, which in marriage also means they can take care of each other.
- Brad and Jolie both have 天府 as their main star; with the Five Elements of their main stars in harmony, their outlooks are more alike.
From these features, the union of Brad and Jolie is basically a good pattern, and they got along happily.
Why Jolie and Brad would raise 6 children in all must show something special in the chart. Generally, married life and the bearing and raising of children can both be seen from 破軍 (Po Jun)...
破軍 in 亥: why raise so many children?
- 破軍 in 亥, with Brad's stem 癸: 破軍 becomes 化祿; after marrying they would want children.
- 破軍's Children Palace, 申, stem 庚: 武曲 (Wu Qu) becomes 化權, auspiciously transforming 破軍.
- 破軍's three sides see 左輔 and 右弼, an image of wanting to raise many children.
- 破軍's Spouse Palace, 酉, stem 辛: 巨門 (Ju Men) becomes 化祿, auspiciously transforming 貪狼 (Tan Lang). 貪狼 is the star of bearing and raising children; with Lu stars gathering on 貪狼, naturally they'd be willing to raise many children.
破軍 in 亥: why divorce?
- 破軍's stem 癸 makes 貪狼 become 化忌, which, combined with 文昌 meeting from the 巳 Palace, forms the 昌貪格, the "upside-down, off the proper position" pattern. Brad's ideas about raising children differed clearly from Jolie's. Jolie has said that their different ideas about parenting were the main reason for the divorce.
- 破軍's Spouse Palace is in 酉, stem 辛: 文昌 becomes 化忌, forming the "poor scholar" pattern with 破軍 in 亥. We needn't fuss over the pattern's name; knowing it's an evil pattern is enough to judge that the two had incompatible views.
Summary
As Brad and Jolie show in the chart, they were willing to raise many children because they loved each other; that is the good side of 破軍. But 貪狼 and 文昌 化忌 had to come and meet, forming an evil pattern. As they say, "the pattern outweighs the image": with an evil pattern, even with auspicious images, ill can't be avoided. That is why the two couldn't stay together for life in the end.
紅鸞 (Hong Luan) and 天喜 (Tian Xi): symbols of whether they can stay together for life
- 紅鸞 in 子 sees 太陽 (Tai Yang); Brad's stem is 甲, which happens to make 太陽 become 化忌: Brad didn't fully fulfill his duties as a husband.
- 天喜 in 午: 天梁 (Tian Liang) sees 地空 (Di Kong); Brad's stem is 戊, which again happens to make 天機 (Tian Ji) become 化忌, clashing with 天喜.
Summary
Reading marriage from 紅鸞 and 天喜 also shows signs of separation. So though they loved each other, in the end they went their separate ways because of differing outlooks.
