(296) Husband and wife

By Janet Shin

According to saju, a husband has the energy to restrict his wife in their relations. This is not just a particular case, but applies to everyone. From the man’s standpoint, wives always have the opposite energy from their own day master that they need to overcome.

When people learn this fact, they become embarrassed at first. Since most people regard conjugal relations as a romantic and productive, they never consider it negatively. Even though many people experience troubles in their marriage, it is still believed to be the happiest event in life and brings a great deal of delight. This is so true.

We often hear cases of a once loving couple becoming bitter enemies after several years of marital life. In a recent news report, the founder of a large English academy was betrayed by his wife and deprived of his ownership. They argued with each other over the management and property rights.

A similar case happened before with a famous hospital. The two chairmen of the board, who established the hospital together as husband and wife, split their partnership after one party was caught committing adultery.

I know this may sound very cynical, but it is not my personal opinion, rather it is defined by saju theory. As you know, saju gained its fundamentals from the laws of cosmological changes and the origin of the universe. The academic base was constructed by the observation of different planets alongside the sun, the moon and the earth, their interactions and the change of time.

Ancient scholars have allocated specific elements to the energy of the day master, representing the owner of saju, and others based on the principle of the five elements generation and restriction cycles. The below chart shows the energy of your husband or wife.

For example, if you were born with the energy of fire (red), your day master, the energy of your husband is water (black) or the energy of your wife is metal (white).

In the saju of a man, the energy of his children is to restrict his own day master. It may seem very complicated for general readers. The point is that energy flows in our family are adversarial. The only exception is the association between the mother and her children. Mother generates her children.

By revealing this fact, I am not trying to dishearten you with a pessimistic view. Instead, we should consent to the reality of life. I have met many wives and husbands, deeply disappointed by their spouse and feeling their lives are miserable. Your spouse is not your ally any more. He or she is meant to be your foe, but can be a constructive companion. He or she stimulates the other party so both can evolve with physical and psychological growth.

It is just a matter of the different viewpoints. Family relations, seemingly restful and peaceful, have inherent conflicts from their ingrained energy interactions as per saju. Once you acknowledge this fact, it will be much easier to understand the other’s position and lead to a happier life.
