Do you agree that the most toxic food is the wedding cake? In marrying, never pick a rock and hit your head – so goes the Feng Shui advice for marriage. How and why?
It evolves from Chinese tradition in Feng Shui! What is this tradition?
It is the materialistic pursuit of wealth for a family and keeping the wealth within the family as well as improving it through fixed intermarriages. Thus, we read or hear that in ancient times there were arranged marriages between heads of families – be they royalty or common folk – to achieve this survival-plus-growth objectives!
In the Philippines, like in other countries, this was seen in intermarriage of tribal clans and eventually rich families that became the elites of Philippine society!
The urban legend in Chinatown, Manila would be the Ty and Tan arranged marriage of a son and a daughter for a strong “Titan” family alliance, and greater prestige let alone status and a “face” in the niche of Tsinoy society.
At time these days it is born out of common interests bound by corruption and money laundering! As in the case of a rogue Taipan daughter who was matched for marriage with, say, the ghost projects queen’s crown prince. What the discovery?
Marriage can mean many things even in Feng Shui. Marriages are made by convenience for citizenship or, yes, true love or simply to make parents happy as well as fear of being disinherited!
But let’s face it, marriage has a price behind the prize. That’s why the bottom line of marrying into wealth is a hard and fast Feng Shui principle.
Adding value to the family assets through marriage is a common pursuit. But not an easy one as in Feng Shui this requires that the couple be Feng Shui-compatible. Thus the math rule of it is – it is unlucky to marry someone of the same sign or of an opposing zodiac sign in the Chinese zodiac.
A quick guide: rat versus rat and horse, horse versus horse and rat! Ox versus ox and sheep. Sheep versus sheep and ox. Tiger versus tiger and monkey. Monkey versus monkey and tiger. Rabbit versus rabbit and rooster. Rooster versus rooster and rabbit. Dragon versus dragon and dog. Dog versus dog and dragon. Pig versus pig and snake. Snake versus snake and pig.
Many have separated or divorced for violating the above matching principle in marriage.
Is there a remedy? Yes, and it is shared upon a formal consultation with a genuine Feng Shui master and not oen who is silently renounced for claiming to be renowned in Philippines let alone Asia. How in the world can a fraudster whose gender or marital status is questionable be able to give wise counsel on marriage?
Marry right and well, and be merry! Beware of closet fake Feng Shui.
