Going about your day you see an old couple taking an evening stroll down the path you’re travelling on.
The man’s hand intertwined with the woman’s. The man stops halfway to help the women adjust her scarf to stop the cold breeze from hitting her neck. As you take in the scene, you cannot help but be amazed. The warmth in your chest contrasted by the chilly air. As you stroll away from happy old couple you wonder what they must be doing right to have survived, what must be the decades, together. In the day and age where fifty percent of all marriages are doomed to end, one must wonder what the secret ingredient is that makes some marriages stick.
This must also be a question that weighs heavily on the minds of two Korean superstars actors Song Joong-ki and Song Hye-kyo. The SongSong couple, as they were dubbed by the media, were part of the “Korean Wave” of drama and popular music that has swept through the rest of Asia and the world. The couple tied the knot in a lavish ceremony that made girls swoon and men roll their eyes. The couples respective agents have said the divorce was due to “differences in personality” which the two were “unable to overcome”.
In an effort to try and pinpoint the “differences in personality” that the couple speaks off we turn to QiMen Star of Destiny. A quick analysis of the QiMen chart of Song Joong-ki indicates that his Star of Destiny is a Destructor while Song Hye-kyo is a Pillar.
Heavenly Pillars are rather introverted and can be at times little cold and reserved. They dislike crowds and gatherings and keep much to themselves. They usually hide behind strong defence lines. They are lovely being but is known to be highly difficult in romantic relationships particularly in communicating their feelings and discontentment.
Heavenly destructors on the other hand are energetic, adventurous and rambunctious. They value family and relationships. What they don’t do too well with is patience and anger management. They crave immediate results and what to see success soonest. They are hard pressed to ask for help and are known to spreading themselves thin in accomplishing goals.
Seeing the polarity of the couple’s personality traits perhaps gives us a glimpse of what may have gone wrong in their life together. We live in an age where social media gives us heavy insight into how couples are with each other. With that being said, it’s no wonder why people feel they have a right to know and give opinions about the romantic lives of others. However, we don’t. Relationships are private, and they should be treated as such.
