On Screen Chemistry: It’s in the Astrology!

What makes for historic onscreen chemistry, so powerful that fans believe it must be real? The answer is in BaZi of course!

Game of Thrones and Outlander are two incredibly popular television series both of which are center around the love story and powerful on screen chemistry of the show’s main characters. It’s this powerful combination of actors that has helped to fuel the popularity and success of these series. 

A quick look at the BaZi of these pairs of actors reveals right away why this casting is so special!

When we want to understand the connection and chemistry between two people the first thing we look at is the interaction between the Day Pillars of each person.

First, let’s look at Emilia Clarke and Kit Harrington.  Emilia is a Metal Rat day and Kit is a Wood Dragon day. Like the characters in the show, Emilia’s metal controls Kit’s wood like the pruning of a tree, making him useful. The Rat and Dragon are part of a 3-Harmony combination meaning that deep down these two are really connected. This kind of combination between pillars is a highly desirable feature when looking at compatibility. In fact, these are the day pillars of my children who have been extremely close their whole lives. Even more interesting, is the fact that Emilia’s Day Pillar is also Kit’s Month Pillar which represents his career, so they connect through work. A shared pillar between 2 charts also shows great affinity between two people – that feeling you have when you just get someone and feel an instant familiarity.

A similarly powerful connection also appears between Catriona Balfe and Sam Heughan’s charts. Like Kit, Catriona is a Wood Dragon day person and Sam is a Water Rooster day person. Water feeds wood like rain feeds the trees and shows a wonderful interaction of giving and support. The Dragon and the Rooster are what we call a Heavenly Combination, meaning they go together like hydrogen and oxygen. It’s the most ideal combination between two day pillars and shows a deep and powerful bond. What is also incredibly interesting is that like Kit and Emilia’s charts, Sam’s Day Pillar is also Catriona’s month pillar. Again, this shared pillar between them shows real affinity and synergy between their charts. 

There is no doubt that the amazing connections between these actors has created very special on screen chemistry, so strong as to feel real to all who watch. What BaZi tells us is that on some level it is!  Perhaps casting directors should also use a BaZi test in conjunction with their screen tests for future projects. 

If Day pillar combinations such as these are highly desired and even an indicator for true love, then why aren’t these co-stars dating in real life as many fans are hoping for?  Well, there is more to compatibility than just chemistry and there is more to BaZi chart reading than just day pillar interaction. Most importantly, our lives aren’t shaped by what’s in our charts alone. As the character Jamie Fraser so eloquently states in Outlander, our lives are a sum total of the choices we make and our destiny is up to us.

As for me, dragons and stone circles, of course these are my favorite shows and I can’t wait for the next episodes!
