Is Ziwei's opponent a conflict, a mirror image or a complement?

Why is the opposite sign so important?

Opposites often act as mirrors to a subject, suggesting external responses, relationship pulls, and information that needs to be borrowed back.

The opposite sign is not the enemy, but the mirror

Opposite signs are often understood as conflict, opposition, and pulling, so many people feel that their own sign is being suppressed when they see the opposite sign being strong. In fact, the opposite house is more like a mirror: it puts the subject of the own house on the other side, allowing us to see how this issue responds to the outside world, relationships, or relative realms. When the life palace is opposite to migration, it is not a fight between the self and the outside world, but when the self must be verified through the external environment; when the husband and wife palace is opposite to career or the relative axis, it also reminds that relationships do not only happen in a small room between two people.

If you think of an opposition as just a conflict, you will miss the information it provides. It often explains what conditions a field needs to take shape, and also explains what external forces this field is most likely to be affected by.

Empty palaces especially need to borrow information from the opposite palace

There are no fourteen main stars in the empty palace, so the opposite palace is one of the most important clues. It’s not because there is no information in the empty palace, but because there is no obvious main star in this palace as an entrance. It is necessary to borrow the star’s temperament from the opposite palace and then put it back into the own palace to re-explain the issue. Looking at migration when the life palace is empty does not mean that the person completely becomes a migration palace, but that the main axis of the self is easily revealed through feedback from the external environment and others.

Borrowing stars is not copying. When the star in the opposite house comes to this house, it will be re-translated by the theme of this house. The opposite sign is a clue, not a substitute.

Opposite signs also indicate projection in relationships.

In relationship matters, the opposite sign often shows projection. When a person thinks he is looking at the other person, he is actually looking at his own needs, fears, and expectations that are not easily acknowledged. For example, if the opposite house of husband and wife has a strong structure, the problem in the relationship may not be just how the partner is, but how the native projects career pressure, life arrangements, external evaluation or self-worth into the intimate relationship.

Therefore, the opposite sign can help readers return from "it's all the other person's problem" to "how the other person and I jointly generate this pattern." This is also the most practical value when Zi Wei reads relationships.

A strong opponent's palace is not necessarily bad, and a weak own palace does not necessarily mean defeat.

If the opposite star is strong, this sign will not necessarily be suppressed. It may indicate that the topic needs to be completed through an external platform, a relationship object, or a relative realm. For example, if the Life Palace itself is not strong, but the Migration Palace is strong, and the person is ordinary in the familiar circle, it will open up when he comes to the external stage; if the Money and Silk Palace is ordinary, but the opposite palace and three parties can take over, the income may also be generated by career position or cooperation network.

When the palace is strong, the question to ask is: Can this external force be used by this palace? If it can, it is a supplement; if it cannot, it becomes a pressure.

The judgment of the opposite sign should be combined with the three directions and four directions

The opposite sign cannot independently determine the conclusion. It must be read together with the main palace, the three directions, and the four transformations. This sign explains the core of the problem, the opposite sign explains the mirror image and external influences, the three parties explain the resource network, and the four modernizations explain the flow and triggers. If you only grasp the opposite sign, you will regard the mirror as the whole reality.

A good interpretation of the opposite sign will make the judgment more three-dimensional: it is not that "the opposite sign is not good because it is opposed", but "the key to this field is not within the sign, but in external response, relationship interaction and resource borrowing."
