Quick answer
In BaZi, love is read from your Spouse Palace, the branch under your Day Master, and from your partner stars. Traditionally the Wealth star is read for men and the Officer star for women, though modern readers apply both flexibly. Timing comes from the years and luck pillars that activate them.
The Spouse Palace
The day branch shows what you need in a close partner and how your relationships feel. Clashes with it can bring change, and harmonies can bring closeness.
Relationship timing
Years that bring your partner star, or that combine with your Spouse Palace, are often when relationships start or deepen.
Compatibility
Comparing two charts looks at how your Day Masters relate, whether your elements balance each other, and whether your branches clash or combine. No match is "doomed". It shows where to put in effort.
Questions
Does BaZi work for same-sex couples?
Yes. Modern readings focus on the dynamics between the charts, not gender roles.
