Chart traits of cold-war personality: first, Spouse Palace Tian Tong—Tian Tong governs enjoyment and conflict avoidance, when facing conflict tends to "forget it, not say it," maintaining表面 peace through escape. Second, Spouse Palace Tai Yin—Tai Yin governs sensitivity and introversion, emotions not shown, keeps anger inside. Third, Spouse Palace Tian Liang—Tian Liang governs principles and lecturing, during cold war it is "I ignore you but I think Im right." Fourth, Life Palace Tai Yin or Tian Tong—personality itself is avoidant, not just in relationships, tends to escape in all conflicts. Fifth, Fortune Palace has malefics—weak internal emotional processing, "shuts down" when facing conflict. Damage of cold war to relationships: first, "problems not solved"—cold war only suppresses issues, next similar problem will be worse. Second, "emotional connection breaks"—long-term cold war gradually makes both parties lose intimacy, becoming "strangers living under the same roof." Third, "third-party intervention"—during cold war, one party easily seeks emotional support outside, creating opportunities for extramarital temptation. Fourth, "physical and mental health impact"—long-term suppressed emotions are bad for health, especially Tai Yin types easily develop insomnia and anxiety. Methods to shift from cold war to communication: For the "cold war initiator" (Tian Tong/Tai Yin type): first, "recognize own avoidance pattern"—realizing you go silent when angry is the first step to change. Second, "set a cooling-off period but not cold war"—can say "Im emotional now, need an hour to cool down, then well talk," rather than disappearing. Third, "use writing instead of speaking"—if cannot say it face-to-face, can express via messages or letters, Tian Tong/Tai Yin types often express better in writing than verbally. For the "victim of cold war": first, "do not chase and ask"—the more you chase the more they hide, give space but set time limits. Second, "express feelings not blame"—say "I feel bad when you dont talk" rather than "why do you always cold war." Third, "if the partner长期 refuses communication"—consider whether the relationship is healthy, long-term cold violence is also a form of emotional abuse.
What This Question Is Really Asking
Practical case: Someone with Authority in Spouse Palace is often dominant in relationships, wanting to control the pace. If the partners Life Palace also has Authority, they easily clash head-on; but if the partners Life Palace has gentle stars like Tian Tong or Tai Yin, they form a "one strong one soft" complementary structure.
The Underlying Logic
Only looking at Spouse Palace without Life Palace, ignoring that "what kind of person you are" affects relationships more.
Equating Jealousy in Spouse Palace with "marriage will definitely be bad," ignoring that Jealousy can also mean "deep relationship lessons."
Not watching Decade/Annual relationship changes, using static natal chart info to judge lifelong relationships.
Treating chart relationship tendencies as "fate," making no effort in communication and cultivation.

Three Common Mistakes
Mistake 1: The chart only indicates relationship tendencies; actual relationship quality depends on both parties cultivation and communication.
Mistake 2: There is no "perfect Spouse Palace"; every star combination has strengths and challenges.
Mistake 3: If there are serious problems in the relationship (violence, control, abuse), seek professional help, do not rely on the chart for self-comfort.
