Marriages
& Offsprings
Marriages and
Offspring in the year of the Tiger
Is it true that marriages solemnise
in the Year of the Tiger have a higher rate of failure? Or offspring born in a Tiger year
will turn out to be particularly naughty?
Traditionally, these beliefs have
been held to be true. But please allow me to dispose some advice on traditional beliefs. I
would like to say that such traditional thinking might not be applicable in our modern
society. Instead of following tradition blindly, I would like to urge all to learn and
digest the old and then apply them pragmatically.
The 12 animals in the zodiac are
indications of time by year and it is certainly wrong to blindly label a particular years
as bad just because that year is associated with a certain animal. Let me explain further.
There are three major elements
involved in the choice of an auspicious date to time. The elements are : Heaven (Time),
Man (actions) and Earth (space). Relatively speaking, the elements coexist and the values
of Heaven and Earth are constructed after Man.
The analysis of whether a particular
year to be good or bad for any individual does not depend on the animal in which the year
is associate with. The analysis is done based on the individual's own animal in the
zodiac.
There would be wasted opportunities
indeed if such false beliefs were to be practised. The individual would then be falsely
restricted from making important decisions or undertake important tasks.
