2010 Marriage

I was reading some newspaper article about getting married on 10 October 2010 when i discovered it is a very negative year. According to report, every 10 couples who get married next year, 3 of them will end up divorce. Why is this so? Masters or shifu called it “孤年” or simply lonely year. It is not suitable for marriage as you will end up alone eventually.

There is another explanation call 桃花年。That means even if you get married, there will not be any form of blessing from heaven. Even married couple faces the danger of divorcing. 明年是太阳化入，太阳化科之年，形成天狗食月，也代表女尊男卑。意识就是婚姻内，女性当权。 Thus to overcome this, the female got to be older than the guy or a divorcee remarries or someone who had lost their partner remarries. Only these 3 categories are suitable for marriage.

As for those who opt for marriage on 10 October, well, masters and shifu termed that day as “凶日”meaning inauspicious day. In the lunar calendar, it is 九月初三。Many chinese believe that to get married on the month of 九月 is not very auspicious. It falls on 重阳节, where pple can revisit tombs of their deceased relatives. In other words, time to offer prayers to the dead again. However, if the couple do not have any religious belief, then it should be fine for them since it is an easy date to remember.

I am very surprised most of the masters share the same view. I thought that may be differing views. Most term it as inauspicious year. I guess the year 2010 is year of tiger. In term of zodiac, I felt that was considered a big zodiac. Not too good to make important decision. Just lie low and keep a low profile. For those getting married, just a note of cautious, be truthful and sincere to your partner and you should tie over the crisis.
