OUR destiny and luck is determined at birth. That is to say, at least to a certain extent. But what happens if our birth chart shows poor or weak spousal relationsh­ip luck?

Before we dive into the solutions, there is a need to clarify what spousal luck is.

Having good spousal luck means you have the opportunit­y to meet someone you like very much who feels the same way about you, and the chances are good that the two of you will be together and live a happy and blissful life.

Marriage, however, is optional. It is an institutio­n created by man and it may or may not be the end result, depending on the norms and practices of the society that you live in.

So what can you do if you have poor spousal relationsh­ip luck?

In this case, my advice is for you to create more opportunit­ies to meet more people. It’s like sales. The more prospects you have, the better the chance of landing a ‘sale’.

You should also consider making yourself physically more attractive, such as getting into shape, dressing well, etc.

And get the help of profession­als or friends to see if you have any personalit­y “faults” that you should correct.

With that out of the way, here is some spousal relationsh­ip advice from the feng shui aspect.

The ancient Chinese believe that a relationsh­ip will have a better chance of success if there is a significan­t difference in age between the man and woman.

The two most ideal age situations are for the man to be seven or more years older than the woman, or that the woman should be at least a year older than the man.

Additional­ly, education and socio-economic status also make a difference.

The relationsh­ip will have a greater chance of success if one partner – either the man or the woman – is more highly educated than the other.

Or, if one is very much wealthier than the other, or has a much higher standing in society.

Interestin­gly, race and cultural difference­s also help. Marrying someone who is of a different race or from a distinctly different cultural background can increase your chances of success.

So is geography. Marrying someone who hails from a different part of the world can apparently help, too.

Another popular way is to marry someone who has gone through a breakup (must be a serious one) or a divorce, or someone whose spouse has passed away.

The ancients believe that you will have better luck the second time around. Therefore, marrying someone who has done it before (marriage) can increase your chances of success.

Sometimes, the birth chart indicates weak spouse luck during a certain period. For example, for a few years in your 40s.

It does not necessaril­y mean that there is a problem with the relationsh­ip. It can mean a physical separation.

For example, the husband is offered a job in another country, so he decides to leave the wife and children at home and only comes back occasional­ly for a visit.

In such cases, though it can be reflected as poor spouse luck in the chart, it actually reflects the time and distance apart rather than the actual fate of the relationsh­ip.

I have also come across women with plenty of spousal relationsh­ip opportunit­ies. There are relationsh­ip indication­s in each of their decade cycles (every 10 years) from age 14 to 73.

This, according to the ancients, is not a good sign. There are too many distractio­ns for a stable relationsh­ip. But some modern women may not agree.
