Swiping right on you: Bazi Love Series, Part 1

Mention of Zac Efron, most of us would be familiar with him with various movies he had over the years. From the buff-built hunk in Baywatch to the grandson with funny encounters in Dirty Grandpa and also starring in The Greatest Showman.

Now, however, being an eligible and good looking celebrity, you maybe surprise to know that he is not married till date. In fact, he has lamented in a talk show with Ellen DeGeneres that finding a mate is difficult. He even tried online dating on Tinder and shared no one swiped right on him!
​
It seem to go against the logic. Strangely. But after doing bazi reading for awhile though, this can really be indeed the case. A very eligible person can sometimes have such bazi where there are challenges in relationship. They just won’t have it easy.

​So let me welcome you to our new series called “Swiping Right on You”. I would be sharing up on a series of real life bazi case studies on relationship and love. The objective is simple - shed light on relationship matters through bazi. Is it a matter of time? Or one may just not have the luck in relationship imprinted in your bazi.

The series of case studies will take you into examining a person's bazi love luck through:

1. identifying yourself in your bazi
2. spouse element
3. spouse palace
4. luck pillar analysis for spouse element

Zac Efron's Bazi Chart
Basing on his birthdate, we have come up with his bazi chart to explore if there are any reasons behind his challenges in love life.

Zac Efron's bazi chart. A 庚 day master with 1 spouse element in 卯.

His Day Master and Spouse Element
In each bazi chart, there would be a “palace” (or a "box") where an element that sits in there which represent the person. In bazi lingo, we call it the day master. In his case, it is 庚 (boxed in black). This represent Zac Efron in his bazi.

To read on love luck, we would start with looking for the presence of spouse element and at the spouse palace.

In this example, the spouse element is represented by any presence of wood element. So you can tell there is the presence of a 卯 wood (circled in green) in the year pillar. This may deceptively appear to be a good sign.

So the question is, why is there challenges experienced in his love life?

In bazi context, wood element is weak during the autumn season

​

1. The 卯 wood is hidden far away. (Yes, in bazi context, this is deem as far away)
2. Wood is weak in the autumn period.

In this case, spouse element is weak and less favourable. Hence I would grade it as a -1 point.
​

​
Spouse Palace Analysis
Apart from that, we also have a spouse palace (in red box). As there are no clashes to this palace, this is a good sign. In fact, as the chart is a strong chart, presence of water helps to weaken metal. This is based on the relationship of the 5 elements. So this is actually positive. In the spouse palace, it is therefore a +1 point.

​We can look to the luck pillar next. Luck pillar would serve to tell you what kind of luck one is ongoing through related to age.

Luck Pillar Analysis
​
Based on his current age of 34 this year, you can see that there were no encounter with any spouse luck (wood element) till date. Taking into consideration that he also has a rather weak bazi chart in terms of spouse luck, its no wonder Zac Efron has the challenge in his love life.
​
But fret not, if we look at the luck pillar of age 43, we can see that there is the appearance of 乙wood. Wood element as shared is the spouse luck. This is a positive sign and would likely mean that he may likely be finally getting married during this age period.
 
Would this really come true? As of present, it was reported that he is happily attached to Vanessa Valladares who is a model. It would be interesting to observe if he would finally be happily married during the coming of age reflected in his luck pillar.​

Conclusion
So through this example, you can see how bazi can be a useful tool - in this case, looking at our relationship luck.

​There are other bazi formation and combinations in this bazi which shows why relationship pose a challenge for Zac Efron. However, this involves a deeper understanding of technicalities and hence not shared in this article.

Side note, based on Wiki, Zac Efron actually contracted a potential life threatening disease in December 2019. Thankfully, he recovered from it. This could actually be spotted from his bazi marked by "丙午" pillar. When a metal day master such as Zac Efron's meets a strong fire pillar, there is bound to be injury or life threatening occurrence. 

The explanation? Fire attacks metal in the 5 elements relationship. As such, when he meets fire luck, he can experience being 'attacked' thus the illness experienced.
