Shen Ji Miao Suan Yi Zhang Jing (Liu Du Shen Shu) (神機妙算一掌經（六度神數）)

佛道天貴星、鬼道天厄星、人道天權星、畜道天破星、修羅天奸星、仙道天文星、佛道天福星、鬼道天驛星、人道天孤星、畜道天刃星、修羅天藝星、仙道天壽星。六道神數算法是以男順女逆，由生年之宮起數至生月之宮，再由生月之宮起數至生日之宮，最後由生日之宮起數至生時之宮。

The twelve stars used in this book are paired according to the six realms of Buddhism: the celestial realm is paired with "Tian Gui Star" and "Tian Fu Star," the ghost realm with "Tian E Star" and "Tian Yi Star," the human realm with "Tian Quan Star" and "Tian Gu Star," the animal realm with "Tian Po Star" and "Tian Ren Star," the asura realm with "Tian Jian Star" and "Tian Yi Star," and the immortal realm with "Tian Wen Star" and "Tian Shou Star." These twelve stars are placed in the twelve earthly branches on the palm: Zi (rat) corresponds to Tian Gui Star, Chou (ox) to Tian E Star, Yin (tiger) to Tian Quan Star, Mao (rabbit) to Tian Po Star, Chen (dragon) to Tian Jian Star, Si (snake) to Tian Wen Star, Wu (horse) to Tian Fu Star, Wei (goat) to Tian Yi Star, Shen (monkey) to Tian Gu Star, You (rooster) to Tian Ren Star, Xu (dog) to Tian Yi Star, and Hai (pig) to Tian Shou Star. Each palace has one star, fixed and unchanging. The method of counting is "male in order, female in reverse" — for male fate, count in the order of the earthly branches, while for female fate, count in reverse. The calculation involves three steps: first, start counting from the palace corresponding to the earthly branch of the birth year, count to the birth month to determine the month star; then, starting from the palace of the birth month, count to the birth day to determine the day star; finally, starting from the palace of the birth day, count to the birth hour to determine the hour star. The palace of the birth year itself is the year star, and no further counting is needed.

例如：男命庚子年三月十八日卯時。子年為子宮天貴星，三月則由子宮起順數三宮，為寅宮天權星，十八日則由寅宮起順數十八宮，為未宮天驛星，卯時則由未宮起順數四宮，為戌宮天藝星。例如：女命甲午年六月初八日酉時。午年為午宮天福星，六月則由午宮起逆數六宮，為丑宮天厄星，初八日則由丑宮起逆數八宮，為午宮天福星，酉時則由午宮起逆數十宮，為酉宮天刃星。

Here is an example for a male birth: born on the third month, eighteenth day, and卯 (second) hour of the Gengzi year. The Zi year falls in the Zi palace, which is called 「Heavenly Noble Star」, this is the year star. To determine the month star, count three palaces from the Zi palace in a clockwise direction—Zi is the first, Chou the second, Yin the third, arriving at the Yin palace, which is called 「Heavenly Authority Star」, this is the month star. To determine the day star, count eighteen palaces from the Yin palace in a clockwise direction, after completing a full cycle, it lands in the Wei palace, which is called 「Heavenly Post Star」, this is the day star. To determine the hour star, count four palaces from the Wei palace in a clockwise direction—Wei is the first, Shen the second, You the third, Xu the fourth, arriving at the Xu palace, which is called 「Heavenly Art Star」, this is the hour star. Now an example for a female birth: born on the sixth month, eighth day, and You hour of the Jiawu year. The Wu year falls in the Wu palace, which is called 「Heavenly Blessing Star」. For a female birth, count in a counter-clockwise direction: starting from the Wu palace, count six palaces, arriving at the Chou palace, which is called 「Heavenly Obstacle Star」, this is the month star; then from the Chou palace, count eight palaces, arriving at the Wu palace, which is called 「Heavenly Blessing Star」, this is the day star; finally, from the Wu palace, count ten palaces, arriving at the You palace, which is called 「Heavenly Blade Star」, this is the hour star. When counting, the native's palace is considered the first palace. The卯 hour is the fourth hour, so count four palaces; the You hour is the tenth hour, so count ten palaces. For the day, count the number of days and the corresponding number of palaces, and if it exceeds twelve palaces, continue counting from the beginning.

時辰落在天貴星，一生清貴事和同，志氣不凡人出類，安然自在性明通。此星主人清高有德，有行大事成小，災禍無侵，若更得天權祿馬星助者，榮昌富貴，若犯重者，主悲泣翻悔中下小人，半吉之命，若逢孤厄，破刃照命者，必為朝堂折挫之人，見貴而未為全吉也。

A song says: Those born under the "Heavenly Noble Star" will live a life of purity and high status, treating others with harmony and ease; their aspirations differ from the common people, making them outstanding individuals; their minds are at peace, and their nature is clear and enlightened. When this star is in command, the person is noble and virtuous, capable of turning big problems into small ones, and disasters will not trouble them. If they also receive assistance from other auspicious stars such as the "Heavenly Authority Star," the "Lucky God," and the "Post Horse," they will achieve great honor and wealth, both prosperous and affluent. However, if the same star appears repeatedly in the year, month, day, or hour (a term called "repetition"), it will instead lead to sorrow and regret, indicating a mediocre person's fate, which is only half good. If they also encounter the "Heavenly Loneliness Star," the "Heavenly Obstruction Star," the "Heavenly Destruction Star," and the "Heavenly Blade Star," these are ominous stars, indicating someone who constantly faces setbacks in court, though they may be close to power, it is not a complete good fortune.

時在厄中人混沌，惺惺作事又痴呆，此人帶疾方延壽，還須勞碌作生涯。此星在命，主人帶疾，若逢破刃犯沖，災病必重，若逢權貴星，主人輕疾乃中上命也，若逢孤驛奸星，主作事遲令，一生勞碌，定主蹭蹬離祖乃中下命也。

The rhyme says: Those born at a time falling on the "Heavenly Obstruction Star" tend to have confused and unclear thoughts; although they are clearly awake and meticulous, when they act, they seem like the foolish. Such people must suffer from illness to prolong their lives, and they must work hard all their lives to make a living. When this star is in command of destiny, the person is likely to have a chronic illness. If this star is further afflicted by the "Heavenly Break" and "Heavenly Blade" stars, the illness will be severe. However, if the person meets the "Heavenly Authority" and "Heavenly Favor" stars, the illness will be mild, and their fate will be considered above average. If the person meets the "Heavenly Loneliness," "Heavenly Relay," and "Heavenly Deceit" stars, they will be slow in handling affairs, always working hard, and destined for hardship and misfortune, being away from home, which is considered an average or lower fate. The original meaning of this star is that carrying illness can prolong life: minor illnesses can eliminate major calamities, so ancient people did not regard carrying illness as purely bad.

時辰落在天權星，性格操持志氣雄，作事差遲人也喜，一呼百喏有威風。此星在命，主人聰明，俊秀灑落，襟懷有權有勢，多智多能，若逢貴福文壽星相助者，人人欽敬，權而無權乃中命也，若逢厄破孤驛在命者，作事勞力，財帛不聚，未能先能，未會先會，浮浪中命也。

The rhyme says: Those born under the "Tianquan Star" have strong will and determination, are capable and responsible, and have a bold and vigorous spirit. Even if they delay or miss deadlines in their work, others are willing to accept their results. A single call can summon a hundred people, showing great authority. When this star is in the命 (destiny), the person is intelligent, handsome, and has a free and easy manner. They possess inner power and are multi-talented. If they are assisted by stars like "Tian Gui", "TianFu", "Tian Wen", and "Tian Shou", they will be respected by all. However, if these auspicious stars are absent, they may only have the name of authority without the real power, making them of medium quality. If stars like "TianE", "TianPo", "TianGu", and "TianYi" are present in the命, they will face difficulties in their endeavors, be unable to keep wealth, and tend to boast before completing tasks. They may claim to be skilled before actually learning, leading to a superficial and unreliable character, resulting in a medium quality destiny.

時辰落在天破宮，堆金積玉也成空，夜眠算計圖家富，鈔袋誰知有蛀蟲。此星主財帛空虛，祖業耗散，若得權貴福星相助，亦為中命，如遇驛刃孤厄犯重者，作事艱難，重重破敗，浮浪東西之下命也。

The rhyme says: Those born under the "Heavenly Break" star will find that even if they accumulate gold and jade, it will ultimately turn to nothing. At night, they lie awake thinking about how to make their family prosperous, but they don't realize that the bag holding their money is already full of worms. This star indicates empty wealth and the loss of ancestral property. If aided by stars such as "Heavenly Authority," "Heavenly Favor," and "Heavenly Blessing," one's fate may be considered moderate. However, if encountering stars like "Heavenly Post," "Heavenly Blade," "Heavenly Orphan," and "Heavenly Misfortune," especially when repeated, they will face great difficulties, one failure after another, drifting from place to place without a stable home, resulting in a poor fate. The key of this star lies in "not being able to hold on"—not that they cannot obtain wealth, but once obtained, it is lost again.

大如滄海細如毛，佛口蛇心兩面刀，奸狡狠謀藏毒性，意多翻覆最難調。此星照命，主人一生勞碌，啾唧奔波，指東說西，機變難測，若得天貴福星相助，財帛豐盈，亦為上命，若逢權刃星者，必為奸權殘忍之人，言清行濁，執性凶謀，有善人之心，無容人之量，貪嗔太重，非善人也，若逢孤厄破驛，定為慳貪嫉妒之小人，乃下命也。

The rhyme says: Those born under the "Heavenly Deceit Star" have a great capacity like the vast ocean, yet are meticulous like a hair's thickness; they speak words of the Buddha but harbor the venomous heart of a snake, being two-faced and treacherous; they are cunning and cruel, harboring poisonous thoughts within; their intentions are fickle and changeable, making them hard to manage. Those born under this star will live a life of constant toil and restlessness, always talking and moving from one place to another, shifting directions and schemes, making them difficult to understand. If they receive the assistance of the "Heavenly Favor" and "Heavenly Wealth" stars, they may attain abundant wealth and are considered an upper-tier fate. However, if they encounter the "Heavenly Authority" and "Heavenly Blade" stars, they will become cunning and dangerous individuals who manipulate power, with lofty words but corrupt actions, stubborn and fond of schemes. Though they may have the intention to be good, they lack the capacity to forgive others, and their greed and anger are excessive, ultimately not considered virtuous. If they meet the "Heavenly Loneliness," "Heavenly Misfortune," "Heavenly Ruin," and "Heavenly Relay" stars, they will be petty and jealous, considered a lower-tier fate.

命遇天文秀氣清，聰明智慧意惺惺，男才女秀身清吉，滿腹文章錦繡成。此星照命，主人聰明伶俐，學識過人，作事和美，若逢天貴天福天藝星相助，定主鰲頭獨占，虎榜登名，金階玉陛之人也，若遇天權天刃星者，文武多才，乃為上命，如遇破厄孤驛及犯重者，乃多學少成，不為書算文墨之輩，必為雲遊湖海之人，乃手藝術士之下命也。

The rhyme says: Those who have the "Heavenly Star" in their destiny are endowed with refined and pure qi, are intelligent and wise, and have clear and lucid thoughts. Men are talented, women are graceful and wise, and their lives are peaceful and auspicious. They are full of literary talent, with eloquent and beautiful expressions. When this star illuminates one's destiny, the person is intelligent and quick-witted, with knowledge surpassing ordinary people, and their affairs are harmonious and prosperous. If assisted by stars such as "Heavenly Favor," "Heavenly Good Fortune," and "Heavenly Art," they will certainly excel in exams, achieve high ranks, and become prominent figures in the court. If they encounter "Heavenly Authority" and "Heavenly Blade," they will be both literary and martial, also being excellent destinies. However, if they meet "Heavenly Ruin," "Heavenly Obstruction," "Heavenly Loneliness," or "Heavenly Post Station," or if the literary stars are repeated, they will have much learning but little achievement, and will not succeed in scholarly or literary pursuits. They are mostly wanderers, and can only be considered as artisans or magicians of lower destiny.

命逢天福是生時，定然倉庫有盈餘，寬洪大量根基穩，財帛光華百福齊。此星照命，主人受福清閒，性情自在，度量寬洪，根基穩實，又得權刃相扶，衣帛充足，倉庫盈餘，堆金積玉之命，若犯重者，衣祿不多，若驛孤奸破星者，必主貪慳嫉妒，衣祿艱難之下命也。

The rhyme says: Those born with the "Heavenly Blessing Star" will surely have surplus grain and wealth in their storehouses; they are broad-minded, with solid family foundations; their wealth is bright, and all kinds of blessings gather together. With this star governing their destiny, the person enjoys happiness and leisure, has a free and easy nature, a broad mind, and a solid foundation. If further aided by the "Heavenly Authority" and "Heavenly Blade" stars, they will have abundant clothing and food, and their granaries will be full, indicating a destiny of accumulating gold and jade. However, if this star is repeated, it leads to thin clothing and food, as too much blessing can easily overflow. If encountering the "Heavenly Relay," "Heavenly Orphan," "Heavenly Deceit," and "Heavenly Ruin" stars, it will inevitably lead to greed, stinginess, jealousy, and difficulties in clothing and food, indicating a lowly destiny.

人道若逢天驛星，搬移離祖不曾停，身心不得片時靜，走遍天涯是未寧。此星照命，主人離鄉別井，骨肉情多勞碌，身心自成自立之命，若逢福權貴刃壽五星者，必主官供，給車馬相隨乃顯榮之命，若逢孤破厄星，猶如風吹樹葉水上浮萍，心猿意馬，奔馳不定，方外雲遊江湖上之下命也，若犯重而刃厄相沖者必為流徒之類。

The song says: If one's destiny meets the "Heavenly Post Horse" star, they will have a life of constant relocation and moving away from their ancestral home without rest; their body and mind will never find peace; they will travel far and wide, yet never find peace. This star indicates a person who leaves their hometown, though they may have family affection, they will often be busy and hardworking, and everything must be done by themselves. If one meets the "Heavenly Blessing," "Heavenly Authority," "Heavenly Wealth," "Heavenly Blade," and "Heavenly Longevity" stars, they will certainly be supported by the government, have carriages and horses to travel with, and have a glorious and distinguished destiny. If one meets the "Heavenly Solitude," "Heavenly Ruin," and "Heavenly Obstacle" stars, they will be like a leaf in the wind or a floating duckweed on water, restless and uncertain, leading to a lower destiny of wandering outside the world or drifting about in the world. If this star is repeated and conflicts with the "Heavenly Blade" and "Heavenly Obstacle" stars, they are likely to become people who are exiled or banished. The movement of the Post Horse star is active; if it moves in a proper way, it brings honor and officialdom, but if it moves without stability, it leads to wandering. The difference lies only in whether there are auspicious stars to support.

時辰若逢此天孤，六親兄弟有如無，空作空門清靜客，總有妻兒情分疏。此星照命，主一生孤獨，男人得之，六親無分，女人得之，克子妨夫，孤星犯重者，反不為孤，必為半僧半俗，若得權福貴壽星相助，乃上命也，亦不免少年刑剋，若逢破驛奸厄刃星，必為雲水漂流下命也，凡選故出之命，要看孤星為主。

The rhyme says: If one is born when "Heavenly Solitary Star" is present, the Six Relations and siblings are like illusions; one becomes a quiet guest in the Buddhist temple in vain. Even though one has a wife and children, the affection is very distant. This star governing the destiny indicates a life of solitude: for a man, he has no connection with the Six Relations; for a woman, she may harm her husband and have few children. If the Solitary Star is repeated, it is not really solitary, but one will inevitably become half a monk and half a layperson. If helped by "Heavenly Authority," "Heavenly Blessing," "Heavenly Favor," and "Heavenly Longevity," it is considered an excellent destiny, but even then, one cannot avoid being punished in youth. If encountering "Heavenly Ruin," "Heavenly Inn," "Heavenly Deceit," "Heavenly Obstruction," and "Heavenly Blade," one's destiny is certainly that of a wandering life, a lowly fate. To select a suitable destiny for monastic life, one should mainly consider this Solitary Star (the original text mistakenly says "selecting old age for monastic life," but the correct phrase should be "selecting for monastic life").

天刃為人性大剛，是非終日要爭強，持刀弄斧刑心重，好似將軍入戰場。此星照命，主人一生剛很性格，躁暴自做，自是不受人觸，受不得閒氣，風火性過端然無事，若得權貴，福星為人，不俗禮義，足以化強暴乃上命也，若逢孤破奸厄，膽大心粗，形體殘疾，不免斷髮身死乃下命也，惡星少而吉星多者，亦為中命犯重必主殘疾。

The rhyme says: Those with the "Heavenly Blade Star" are extremely strong-willed, always quarreling and eager to outdo others; they wield weapons and knives, with a tendency towards violence, like generals rushing to battle. This star in the destiny indicates a person with a strong and harsh nature, impetuous, stubborn, self-willed, and intolerant of others' interference, unable to bear even the slightest provocation. However, after this fiery temper passes, there is no further trouble. If they receive the support of the "Heavenly Authority," "Heavenly Favor," and "Heavenly Good Fortune" stars, they will conform to propriety and not be crude, capable of transforming their violent tendencies, making them an excellent destiny. If they encounter the "Heavenly Isolation," "Heavenly Ruin," "Heavenly Deceit," and "Heavenly Obstruction" stars, they will be bold and reckless, prone to physical disabilities, and may even suffer the punishment of being shaved bald and die, making it a poor destiny. Those with fewer凶stars and more吉stars can be considered medium quality; if this star is repeated, it will certainly lead to disability.

天藝生人性最靈，將南作北逞多能，諱為見靈機關巧，到處和同作事勤。此星照命，主人多智多能，機巧近貴，若犯重者，主資質昏鈍，懶惰愚頑，多學少成，匠作用力之輩，若得天權貴福文壽俱全，剛柔相濟，雖為藝術，亦可成立，若為天孤可為僧道之出類者，乃中命也，若逢破厄，則藝舉無成終為下命。

The rhyme says: "The star Tianyi nurtures the mind and nature, making one very clever and skillful, able to turn south into north, always showing off one's many talents; sharp-witted and good at using tricks; wherever one goes, one gets along well with others and works diligently (the third line of the original text has an error, 'huì wéi jiàn líng' is not readable). This star in the destiny indicates a person who is intelligent and capable, achieving closeness to noblemen through their skillfulness. If this star is repeated, it instead indicates dullness, laziness, and foolishness, learning much but achieving little, only able to be a laborer. If one also has Tianquan, Tiangu, Tianfu, Tianwen, and Tianshou, with a balance of strength and flexibility, even if one's profession is skill-based, one can establish one's own household. If this star is combined with Tiangu, one can become outstanding among monks and Taoists, which is a medium fate. If one encounters Tianpo and Tian'e, one's skills will never be realized, resulting in a low fate."

夫妻生時命最長，上恭下敬性溫良，一聞千悟心慈善，喜怒中間有主張。此星照命，主人長壽康健，智慧聰明，作事溫良有救人之心，無傷人之意，恩中招怨，作事樸實，眾人欽敬，平生安穩，有始有終，喜怒不形，若得天權福貴刃星相助，必主寬洪大量，福壽綿綿，犯重者有壽無福，犯孤破厄星乃中命也。

The rhyme says: Those whose birth times fall under the "Heavenly Longevity Star" will have the longest lifespan; they are respectful to superiors, kind to inferiors, and have a gentle nature; they understand ten parts from one, are benevolent in heart; they have their own judgment in matters of joy and anger, not swayed by others. This star in the destiny indicates a person who is long-lived and healthy, wise and intelligent, gentle and kind in conduct, with a heart to save others and no intention to harm; sometimes they show kindness but may invite resentment, yet they are simple and honest, and are respected by all. Their life is peaceful and stable, with a beginning and an end, and they do not show their emotions easily. If they receive the assistance of the "Heavenly Authority," "Heavenly Blessing," "Heavenly Favor," and "Heavenly Blade" stars, they will certainly have a broad-minded nature and long-lasting happiness and longevity. However, if this star is repeated, they may have a long life but lack blessings. If it is combined with the "Heavenly Loneliness," "Heavenly Ruin," and "Heavenly Obstruction" stars, it is considered an average fate.

詳夫觀命之法，當必查宮限數為先，男怕孤驛凶星，有天福天貴者不妨，女怕破刃厄星，有天權星者助夫旺子，有天文天藝星者性巧，有天福天貴天壽星者，命穩實，有天文星而犯重者，定主貧賤淫汙，玷辱祖宗，行運而逢兩重者，命限大晦，月分而逢孤破厄星者，此月亦主凶災。

To thoroughly examine the method of divining a person's fate, one must first determine which palace each of the four pillars falls into and which limit they have reached. For a male's fate, the most feared stars are "Tian Gu" (Heavenly Solitude) and "Tian Yi" (Heavenly Post), but if they are accompanied by "Tian Fu" (Heavenly Blessing) and "Tian Gui" (Heavenly Wealth), it is not a problem. For a female's fate, the most feared stars are "Tian Po" (Heavenly Break), "Tian Ren" (Heavenly Blade), and "Tian E" (Heavenly Obstacle), but if "Tian Quan Star" (Heavenly Authority) is present, it can actually help her husband and bring prosperity to her children. Those who have "Tian Wen Star" (Heavenly Literature) and "Tian Yi Star" (Heavenly Art) in their fate are clever and resourceful in mind; those who have "Tian Fu Star" (Heavenly Blessing), "Tian Gui Star" (Heavenly Wealth), and "Tian Shou Star" (Heavenly Longevity) have a stable and solid fate. However, if one has "Tian Wen Star" and it is repeated, it may indicate poverty, low status, immorality, and dishonor to the ancestors. When the year of one's fortune coincides with the same star appearing twice, this period of fate becomes greatly obstructed. If a particular month falls into the palace with "Tian Gu Star" (Heavenly Solitude), "Tian Po Star" (Heavenly Break), or "Tian E Star" (Heavenly Obstacle), that month is likely to bring misfortune. This section establishes the general principle: when examining fate, one must distinguish between male and female, and between the palace and the limit. The same star may have different implications for male and female fates, and also differ between one's native stars and the stars encountered in one's fortune.

男命兩重天貴者貴而不貴，兩重天權者截而無權，天文重者男女氾濫，女命天貴重者，終許見貴，若見四重貴者，克子而衣祿豐盈，天福重者衣祿自然，厄在時日重者，反不為厄，逢三厄者不唯旡厄，而衣祿有餘，命限天權星者，虛實而刑妻克子，四厄星者主二子，衣祿有餘。

A man with two instances of "Heavenly Wealth" appears wealthy but is actually not; a man with two instances of "Heavenly Authority" has his authority cut off and is effectively powerless. If "Heavenly Literature" appears twice, both men and women tend to be prone to licentiousness. A woman with two instances of "Heavenly Wealth" will eventually meet with wealth; if she has four instances of wealth stars, she will have children and sufficient food and clothing. If "Heavenly Blessing" appears twice, clothing and food will come naturally. If "Heavenly Obstruction" appears in both the day and hour pillars, it does not actually bring obstruction; if three instances of obstruction stars appear, there will be no disaster, and there will be surplus in clothing and food ("旡" is an ancient character for "no"). If only "Heavenly Authority Star" appears in the destiny period, it is uncertain, and it indicates punishment of wife and children. If four instances of obstruction stars appear, there will be two sons and surplus in clothing and food. This section discusses the changes caused by "repetition of stars": when the same star appears multiple times, it often changes from good to neutral or from bad to good, so one should not judge solely based on a single star.

命有二權星者，莊重正大，命有三權星者，必主威權，有二天破星者，衣祿反穩，有三破星者，破敗下命，有四破星者，無衣祿而壽不長，奸星見重者，反不奸而正大，有三奸星者，狡獪下流之人，有四奸星者，亦主徒流破敗。

Those with two "Tianquan Stars" are dignified and upright; those with three are destined to hold authority. Those with two "Tianpo Stars" have stable clothing and food; those with three suffer continuous losses and are of a low destiny; those with four have neither sustenance nor long life. Those with multiple "Tianjian Stars" appear honest rather than deceitful; those with three are cunning and degenerate; those with four are likely to face exile, punishment, and loss of family fortune. This shows that the more "Tianquan Stars" one has, the greater the authority, while "Tianpo" and "Tianjian" stars are considered fortunate with two, and extremely dangerous with three or four, following the principle of cumulative interpretation for each star.

文星重者主富貴，文星三者衣祿少而多文學，四文星者克妻而損目，二福星者克妻而先貴，三福星有壽而無福，四福星者衣祿充裕，二驛星反主女貴，三驛星者主下賤，四驛星者得奴僕力，二孤星者有子孫，三孤星者女剋夫男克子，四孤星者妻貪窮，二刃星者主慈善，三刃星者乃貴人有權之命，四刃星者權貴而壽夭，二藝星者刑妻克子，三藝星者蒙瞳而昏愚，四藝星者蹭蹬而無成，二壽星者性愚魯，三壽星者出家而高壽，四壽星者離祖而窮善。

The reappearance of "Tianwen Xing" (Celestial Star of Heaven and Stars) indicates wealth and honor; when appearing three times, one's clothing and food are meager but literary talent is abundant; when appearing four times, one may harm one's wife and suffer eye injuries. "Tianfu Xing" (Celestial Star of Heavenly Blessing) appearing twice brings harm to one's wife but brings early noble status; appearing three times brings longevity but no fortune; appearing four times brings abundant clothing and food. "Tianyi Xing" (Celestial Star of Heavenly Post) appearing twice indicates that a woman may achieve prominence; appearing three times indicates a low social status; appearing four times indicates the ability to gain help from servants. "Tianhu Xing" (Celestial Star of Solitude) appearing twice indicates having children; appearing three times indicates that women may harm their husbands and men may harm their children; appearing four times indicates a poor wife. "Tianren Xing" (Celestial Star of Heavenly Blade) appearing twice indicates a kind-hearted nature; appearing three times indicates a destiny under the control of a nobleman; appearing four times indicates although having power and status, one's life is short. "Tianyi Xing" (Celestial Star of Heavenly Skill) appearing twice brings harm to one's wife and children; appearing three times indicates being dull and foolish; appearing four times indicates hardship and failure in all endeavors. "Tianshou Xing" (Celestial Star of Heavenly Longevity) appearing twice indicates a dull character; appearing three times indicates leaving home and becoming a monk, enjoying a long life; appearing four times indicates leaving one's hometown and living in poverty but remaining virtuous. This passage lists the distinctions of two, three, and four appearances of each star, forming the main framework of the entire book's comprehensive interpretation.

貴驛二重多勞碌，破敗逢文必夭亡，權若見孤多刑剋，二重天壽者年雖高而破敗招非，少年重奸者性慳貪而壽亦不永，藝若逢奸，刑傷破敗，刃若見厄，疾病貧窮，生時逢二厄，早歲凶亡，四柱有三孤中年破敗，刃厄同宮，損自己而傷手足，貴壽權生年月，必豐祖業而顯門閭，破刃孤厄會於一時，難為夫妻子息，十二星之理，於斯備矣，論一生之命，孰有疑焉，智者詳審，而細推之，自可究禍福於前知也。

When both "Heavenly Wealth" and "Heavenly Post" appear together, there will be much toil and travel. If one has already fallen into ruin and meets "Heavenly Astronomy," it will surely lead to an early death. If "Heavenly Authority" meets "Heavenly Orphan," there will be many conflicts and punishments. If two "Heavenly Longevity" stars appear, although the lifespan may be long, there will be continuous misfortune and troubles. If a person has multiple "Star of Deceit" in youth, he will be stingy, greedy, and have a short lifespan. If "Heavenly Art" meets "Heavenly Deceit," it indicates injuries and losses. If "Heavenly Blade" meets "Heavenly Obstacle," it signifies illness and poverty. If a person is born with two "Heavenly Obstacles," he will meet misfortune and death in early years. If there are three "Heavenly Orphans" in the four pillars, there will be ruin in middle age. If "Heavenly Blade" and "Heavenly Obstacle" fall into the same palace, it will harm both oneself and one's siblings. If "Heavenly Wealth," "Heavenly Longevity," and "Heavenly Authority" fall into the year or month pillars, the family will have a prosperous heritage and a distinguished lineage. If "Heavenly Ruin," "Heavenly Blade," "Heavenly Orphan," and "Heavenly Obstacle" appear in the same hour, the husband, wife, and children will all be affected. The principles of mutual reference among the twelve stars are explained here completely. By using them to judge a person's fate, there is nothing to doubt. A wise person only needs to examine carefully and investigate thoroughly, and can clearly see the fortune or misfortune before it occurs.

正月、二月、三月、四月、五月、六月、七月、八月、九月、十月、十一月、十二月。正月生人詩。詩曰：端然相兒是前緣，平生快樂福綿綿，貴人接引增吉慶，和合團圓過百年。正月生人，利官近貴，大事成小，仔細小心之命，能招四方財源，妻兒和合並無克破。

In the section discussing the birth month, each of the twelve months of the year is assigned a poem to interpret fate. Starting with the first month: the poem states that a dignified appearance is a result of past-life connections; one's life is filled with joy and continuous good fortune; there is guidance from a nobleman, leading to increasing happiness; the couple is harmonious and united, able to live together for a hundred years. Those born in the first month are favorable for official positions and associating with the powerful; they can turn major events into minor ones, indicating a careful and cautious nature; they attract wealth from all directions, and their wife and children are harmonious, without any harm or discord.

二月生人詩。詩曰：幹生性善自家知，一生衣祿自豐肥，錢足家資多富貴，高人歡喜小人欺。二月生人，心性溫和，心無毒害，聰明多智，六親少緣，中限發大富貴半真半假之命。三月生人詩。詩曰：為人心直自寬懷，平生招得四方財，中限榮華時發福，猶如枯木遇春來。三月生人，心性寬宏，凡事忍耐，初限平平，中限發福，末限榮華富貴之命。

The poem about people born in the second lunar month says: Heaven gives a kind and benevolent nature, known only to oneself; throughout life, clothing, food, and salary come naturally abundant; wealth is sufficient, property is considerable, and there is much prosperity and wealth; those of high status like him, but the petty people bully him (the first line's "干" is suspected to be a mistake for "天"). Those born in the second lunar month have a gentle nature, no malice in their hearts, are intelligent and have many strategies, but have a shallow connection with the Six Relations; in middle age, they experience a great fortune, but it is half real and half false. The poem about people born in the third lunar month says: Their hearts are upright and their minds are broad; throughout life, they can attract wealth from all directions; in middle age, they experience honor and prosperity, like a withered tree encountering spring and regaining new growth. Those born in the third lunar month have a broad and magnanimous nature, can endure things, have a plain beginning in early years, prosperity in middle age, and a life of honor and wealth in old age.

四月生人詩。詩曰：一生命限勝一年，不須嗔恨苦憂煎，更得持齋方便福，夫妻和合永團圓。四月生人，心性不定，名動四方，愛結朋友，不住祖業，自立家風，初限平平，末限大發富貴。五月生人詩。詩曰：出入常常遇橫財，貴人接引笑顏開，田園事業多興旺，富貴榮華次第來。五月生人，溫和良善，心性伶俐有權勢，威風行事正直，貴人接引，夫妻中途離別之命。

The poem for those born in April says: one's fortune year by year improves; there is no need to be resentful or angry, or to suffer from constant worry; if one can also observe a vegetarian diet, do good deeds, be kind and helpful to others, and accumulate merit, then the husband and wife will eventually be harmonious and united. Those born in April have unstable minds, their fame spreads far and wide, and they enjoy making friends; they cannot hold on to their ancestors' property and must establish their own family traditions; their early years are ordinary, but in their later years they will achieve great wealth and prosperity. The poem for those born in May says: frequently encountering unexpected wealth; being guided by a nobleman, smiling and happy; the fields and properties flourish; wealth and honor come one after another. Those born in May have a gentle and kind nature, are clever and have power, act with authority and integrity, and can receive the guidance of a nobleman; however, there is a sign of separation from their spouse in the middle of their life.

六月生人詩。詩曰：平生衣祿自然昌，為人顥達好文章，優遊快樂家豪富，夫妻諧老百年長。六月生人，性巧伶俐，為人遠達，身有藝行不守祖業，初限有財，中限吉利，末限富貴，機謀太重乃好命也。七月生人詩。詩曰：一世為人不必憂，安然無事掛心頭，家業田園宜自立，方知福祿命中求。七月生人，為人慈善，作事仔細愛好，初限平平，中限末限，富貴榮華之命也。

The poem about those born in June says: Throughout their lives, their clothing, food, and salary will naturally flourish; they will be prominent and fond of literature; they will live a leisurely and happy life, with a wealthy family; their spouses will grow old together, sharing a hundred years (「Hao Da」means 「Xian Da」, a miswriting due to similar pronunciation in the original text). Those born in June are clever and quick-witted, capable and far-sighted, possessing a particular skill but not sticking to their ancestors' occupation; they will have wealth in their early years, good fortune in their middle years, and wealth and honor in their later years, though their schemes and thoughts are too intricate—this is still considered a good fate. The poem about those born in July says: Throughout their lives, they need not worry about anything; they will be safe and free from troubles; their family estate and farmland are suitable for them to establish themselves; only then do they realize that blessings and honors must be sought from their own destiny. Those born in July are kind-hearted, careful and meticulous in their work; they have an ordinary period in their early years, but a prosperous and glorious fate in their middle and later years.

八月生人詩。詩曰：為人端正貌堂堂，心地聰明性善良，作事多能心達理，他年運到福綿長。八月生人，眼目光輝聰明達理，正直無私，有藝有財，文章近貴之命，若離祖生大貴。九月生人詩。詩曰：買賣生人事事強，營謀動作志軒昂，若能修善多作福，管取衣資積滿箱。九月生人，性剛招人是非，有威權近貴之命，姻緣相剋，子晚妻遲之命也。

The poem about those born in August says: They are upright in appearance, with a dignified look; their minds are clever, their nature kind; they are capable in handling affairs, and have a clear understanding of things; when their fortune comes, they will have long-lasting blessings. Those born in August have bright eyes and a sharp mind, are upright and impartial, have both skills and wealth, and are destined to gain the favor of the powerful through their writings; if they leave their ancestral home and go elsewhere, they may achieve great success. The poem about those born in September says: Merchants are strong in all aspects; in business planning and actions, they are full of ambition; if they cultivate virtue and accumulate merit, their clothes and wealth will fill their chests. Those born in September have a strong and stubborn nature, and are prone to causing trouble; they have authority and are favored by the powerful, but in matters of marriage there is mutual control, they will have children late and marry late.

十月生人詩。詩曰：十月生人慶吉星，災殃永退不相侵，持齋善念行方便，衣祿豐盈自稱心。十月生人，大海之心，不勤不懶，先難後易，衣祿充身之命也，先女後男，出家亦難為師長徒弟，在家亦難為子息，夫妻命中多招刑剋。十一月生人詩。詩曰：早年獨立自成家，衣祿天然自可誇，骨肉弟兄無倚靠，相交朋友反相知。十一月生人，有權性急，伶俐近貴，心多計謀，身有暗疾，初限平平，中限末限富貴之命也。十二月生人詩。詩曰：初限勤勞受苦辛，自成自立不求人，心直口快難藏毒，骨肉團圓過幾春。十二月生人，百事勞苦，心直口快，亦主暗疾，父母兄弟妻子衣祿自然，得四方之財半吉之命也。

The poem about those born in the tenth lunar month says: Those born in the tenth month have auspicious stars governing their destiny; calamities will always recede and not intrude; as long as they observe fasting and hold good thoughts, act kindly towards others, their clothing and food will be sufficient and satisfying. Those born in the tenth month have a heart as vast as the sea; they are neither diligent nor lazy in their actions, facing difficulties first and then finding ease, thus having a destiny where their clothing and food can sustain their body. In terms of children, they will first have a daughter and then a son. If they take up monastic life, it will be difficult to become a master or to have disciples; if they live at home, they will find it hard to have children, and there will be many conflicts between husband and wife. The poem about those born in the eleventh lunar month says: They become independent early in life; their clothing, food, andofficial stipend are naturally commendable; they can rely on neither their flesh and blood relatives nor their siblings; instead, their closest friends are the most understanding. Those born in the eleventh month have authority but are impetuous in temperament, are shrewd and able to gain the favor of the powerful, have many strategies in their hearts, but carry hidden illnesses that are not apparent on the surface; their early years are ordinary, but their middle and later years are destined for wealth and honor. The poem about those born in the twelfth lunar month says: They work hard and endure hardship early in life; they handle all matters independently, not relying on others; they are straightforward in speech and cannot hide their ill intentions; they have family harmony and live together for many years. Those born in the twelfth month face many hardships, are straightforward in speech, and are prone to hidden illnesses; the clothing and food of their parents, siblings, and wife come naturally; they can gain wealth from all directions, making it a half-good destiny.

太陽星、太陰星、天武星、天福星、天皇星、太乙星。初一、初二、初三、初四、初五、初六。初七、初八、初九、初十、十一、十二。十三、十四、十五、十六、十七、十八。十九、二十、二十一、二十二、二十三、二十四。二十五、二十六、二十七、二十八、二十九、三十。

In the section on the birth date, six stars are established separately: the Sun Star, the Moon Star, the Heavenly Martial Star, the Heavenly Blessing Star, the Heavenly Emperor Star, and the Taiyi Star. These differ from the twelve stars on the palm, as they are specifically assigned to take turns according to the date. The method of arrangement is to divide the thirty days of a month into five cycles of six days each. They are arranged in six columns horizontally and five rows vertically. The first cycle covers the first to sixth day, the second cycle the seventh to twelfth day, the third cycle the thirteenth to eighteenth day, the fourth cycle the nineteenth to twenty-fourth day, and the fifth cycle the twenty-fifth to thirtieth day. Each column is fixed to a specific star—the first column (first, seventh, thirteenth, nineteenth, and twenty-fifth days) belongs to the Sun Star, the second column to the Moon Star, the third column to the Heavenly Martial Star, the fourth column to the Heavenly Blessing Star, the fifth column to the Heavenly Emperor Star, and the sixth column to the Taiyi Star. If the birth date falls in a particular column, that star is said to be in charge of that day and is used to interpret the destiny.

初一，初七，十三，十九，二十五。此日生人，太陽星值日，為人衣祿有餘，初限平當，末限大好，十九二十五歲男享榮華，有父母得力，女人乃旺夫發福之命。初二，初八，十四，二十，二十六。此日生人，太陰星值日，為人秀氣，父母有克，六親無倚，兄弟難靠，男主清奇，女主聰明成立之命也。

On the first, seventh, thirteenth, nineteenth, and twenty-fifth days of the lunar month, people are born under the "Sun Star" day: they have enough food and clothing; their early years are stable, and their later years are prosperous; at nineteen and twenty-five, men can enjoy honor and success; their parents are helpful; women have a good fortune that benefits their husbands. On the second, eighth, fourteenth, twentieth, and twenty-sixth days of the lunar month, people are born under the "Moon Star" day: they are refined and have a spiritual quality; they have conflicts with their parents; they have no support from the Six Relations and their siblings are not reliable; men are seen as unusual and extraordinary, while women are intelligent and capable of establishing their own households. The Sun Star belongs to Yang and governs the father and husband, so those born on this day have supportive parents and women who bring fortune to their husbands. The Moon Star belongs to Yin and governs the mother and the soft, so those born on this day are refined but isolated, and the two stars form a contrast.

初三，初九，十五，二十一，二十七。此日生人，天武星值日，主夫妻和合，不能諧老，子息刑傷，末限榮華富貴之命，招過房子離祖成家，祖業田園耗散，女人傷夫，子息難招，總有也要別離，過房者不妨。初四，初十，十六，二十二，二十八。此日生人，天福星值日，為人多學少成，中限無財惹是招非，姻緣早配，末限富貴大吉利之命也。

Those born on the 3rd, 9th, 15th, 21st, and 27th days are under the "Heavenly Martial Star" which indicates that although the couple may be harmonious, they cannot live together until old age; children may suffer injuries; in old age they will have honor and wealth; it is advisable to adopt a child as a son-in-law, to leave the ancestral home and establish a new household; the family's land and property are likely to be lost; for women, they may harm their husbands, have few children, and even if they do, they may be separated; however, if they adopt a child, there will be no problem. Those born on the 4th, 10th, 16th, 22nd, and 28th days are under the "Heavenly Blessing Star" which indicates that people learn a lot but achieve little; in middle age they may have no wealth and often get into trouble; they tend to marry early; in old age they will have great fortune and good luck.

初五，十一，十七，二十三，二十九。此日生人，天皇星值日，為人伶俐，衣祿有餘，六親無分，兄弟無倚，財利無虧中平之命也。初六，十二，十八，二十四，三十。此日生人，太乙星值日，為人多學多能，清閒高貴文墨之命，初限大貴，中限平穩，末限大旺財祿之命，兄弟無依方可。

Those born on the 5th, 11th, 17th, 23rd, and 29th days are under the influence of the "Heavenly Emperor Star": they are intelligent and resourceful, with sufficient food and clothing; they have shallow connections with their six relations, and no siblings to rely on; their wealth is neither lacking nor excessive, making this a moderate fate. Those born on the 6th, 12th, 18th, 24th, and 30th days are under the influence of the "Supreme Emperor Star": they learn much and gain much; they lead a leisurely and noble life, following the path of literature and scholarship; they encounter great fortune early in life, have a stable middle age, and enjoy great wealth and honor in old age; however, they also lack support from siblings and must rely on themselves for everything. Among the six stars, the Sun Star and the Supreme Emperor Star are the most auspicious, followed by the Heaven Blessing Star and the Heaven Emperor Star. The Too Yin Star and the Heaven Martial Star each bring some isolation and hardship. This is a general summary of the interpretation of the daily stars in this section.

子時、丑時、寅時、卯時、辰時、巳時、午時、未時、申時、酉時、戌時、亥時、總論。子時生人性急命帶剛強，儉事反覆不定，招人是非，父母妻子有力，日手成家之命也，十二，十八，三十六，四十五，五十八，八十九歲之壽。

The section on birth time divides the twelve hours into individual entries, each corresponding to a specific hour, from Zi to Hai. At the end, there is a general summary. Each hour is further divided into three parts: "initial hour," "middle hour," and "final hour," because each hour spans two hours, and the influences differ between the beginning and the end. First, the Zi hour: Those born in the Zi hour have a quick temper, are strong-willed in their nature; they are frugal but inconsistent in their actions; they tend to cause trouble; both parents and spouse are helpful; they are destined to build a family through their own efforts. The critical ages for those born in the Zi hour are twelve, eighteen, thirty-six, forty-five, and fifty-eight. If they can pass through these ages, they may live to be eighty-nine.

子時初生人，先克母之命，一生作事七進八退，十成九敗，六親疏淡，衣祿浮沉，末限享福，好收成結果之命。詩：子初果如何，作事進退多，師長僧道吉，一世受奔波。生子先見郎，子息不過雙，娶妻換頭婦，末後發田莊。

Those born in the first half of the Zi hour will first harm their mother. In their lifetime, they will achieve only seven parts of their efforts and retreat eight parts, accomplishing nothing out of ten things. They have distant relationships with the Six Relations. Their clothing, food, salary, and fortune fluctuate between good and bad. They will enjoy happiness in old age, with both harvest and results being favorable. The poem says: What is the fate of those born at the beginning of the Zi hour? They will often advance and retreat in their affairs. It is most auspicious for them to become teachers or monks and nuns. Otherwise, they will suffer a lifetime of hardship. In terms of children, they will first have a son, and have no more than two children. When choosing a wife, they should marry a woman who has been previously married (a "change-head wife," meaning a woman who has remarried or divorced). In the end, they will be able to establish fields and estates.

子時中生人，無克破，一生作事占強，有起有倒，有成有敗，末後雖大興旺，須用離祖入贅為吉。詩：天祿雖興旺，時值活離宮，前程防小失，作福保亨通。子時末生人，先主克父，六親不得力，子息不順，一生勤苦勞碌，作事有頭無尾，財帛不聚更改之命，晚景好。詩：子末先喪父，子孫三個有，好子只一個，老景三十秋。

Those born in the middle part of the Zi hour do not suffer from punishments or damages; they are ambitious and competitive in their endeavors, experiencing ups and downs, with both success and failure. Eventually, although they become very prosperous, it is necessary for them to leave their ancestral home and marry into another family for good fortune. The poem says: Although heaven bestows great fortune, it is unfortunate that the hour falls on the "living fire palace," destined for leaving home and traveling. In their career, they should be cautious of minor mistakes; doing many good deeds and accumulating merit will ensure continued success. Those born in the latter part of the Zi hour first suffer from the loss of their father; they cannot rely on their six relations; their children's affairs are not smooth; they work hard all their life, with tasks started but not finished; they cannot keep wealth, experiencing constant changes in fortune. However, their later years are good. The poem says: Those born at the end of the Zi hour first lose their father; they have three children, of whom only one becomes successful; they still have thirty years of good fortune in their later years.

丑時生人，父母一刑剋，一生敬貴，有勢有力，末限大好，福祿有餘之命也，十八，二十六，三十一，四十六有災，其年可持齋作福，七十二歲之壽。丑時初生人，無克破，一生衣祿有餘，俱主富貴安閒，子孫榮顯，末限好之命。詩：晚景主大好，三子命中存，兄弟皆得力，衣祿總無虧。

A person born in the hour of Chou has one parent who suffers from punishment or hardship. Throughout their life, they respect the nobleman and have power and ability. In their later years, things are very good, indicating a life of abundant blessings and good fortune. There are years of misfortune at the ages of eighteen, twenty-six, thirty-one, and forty-six. During these years, they should observe a vegetarian diet and perform good deeds to alleviate the difficulties. If they can survive these periods, they may live to be seventy-two years old. Those born in the earlier part of the Chou hour do not suffer from punishment or damage. They have sufficient food and clothing throughout their life, are wealthy and peaceful, their children are glorious and successful, and their later years are very good. The poem says: In old age, the situation is very favorable; the person has three sons; all brothers are helpful; food, clothing, andofficial stipend are never lacking.

丑時中生人，為人正直，並無惡念，一生妻子得力，父母六親相和，末限大發之命。詩：丑正先防父，頭子總難招，須要防妻損，爺孃亦虛驚，聰明伶俐有，福祿益盈盈，財帛田園廣，榮華末運昌。丑時末生人，心地好善，先凶後吉，前主克母，孤獨自成，男女皆離祖之命也。詩：丑末先克母，女命主妨父，先男後有女，晚景貴人助。

A person born in the middle part of the Chou hour is upright and has no evil thoughts; throughout their life, their wife is helpful; they get along well with their parents and the Six Relations; and they achieve great success in their later years. The poem says: A person born in the middle of the Chou hour should first be cautious about the father's misfortune; the first son is usually difficult to raise; they should also be cautious about the wife's loss; the parents will also experience a false alarm. This person is intelligent and quick-witted, with increasing blessings and official rank; they have abundant wealth and property; and in their later years, they achieve great prosperity and success. A person born in the latter part of the Chou hour is kind-hearted; they start off with difficulties but eventually have good fortune; in their early years, they may suffer loss from the mother; they are destined to be alone and establish their own family. Whether male or female, they are destined to leave their ancestral home. The poem says: A person born at the end of the Chou hour may suffer loss from the mother; if it is a female fate, it may also cause trouble for the father; in terms of children, they will first have a son and then a daughter; in their later years, they will receive help from a Nobleman.

寅時生人，父母兄弟妻子多克，離祖方好，初限平平，末限發財，二十六，二十九，三十三，三十九，四十九，六十六歲，主得血氣之疾，過此九十六歲之壽。寅時初生人，主人先克父，衣祿有餘，為人聰明發達，自成自立，有虧有盈，心性不定，好勝好閒，末限有福之命。詩：寅初進田莊，兒女喜成雙，財祿中年旺，晚景自安康。

A person born in the寅 hour will have conflicts with parents, siblings, and spouse, and it is better to leave the ancestral home; the early years will be ordinary, but wealth will be attained in old age. At the ages of 26, 29, 33, 39, 49, and 66, there will be illness related to blood and qi; if one can pass through these periods, they may live to be ninety-six. Those born in the earlier part of the寅 hour will first affect the father; they will have enough food and clothing; they are intelligent and capable of success; they can achieve things on their own; they will have both losses and gains; their temperament is unstable, they are both ambitious and fond of ease; their later years will be fortunate. The poem says: Those born at the beginning of the寅 hour can acquire farmland and estates; having a pair of children is a joy; wealth and official rank will be most prosperous in middle age; the later years will naturally be healthy and peaceful.

寅時中生人，若無沖剋，父母雙全，衣祿盈餘，有福有壽，自成家業，先主榮貴，末限安常之命。詩：寅中命吉昌，聰明性氣剛，一生宜出祖，名姓四方揚，寅正少兄弟，三孫世代長，克妻須保守，晚運益田莊。寅時末生人，先克母，自成家業，六親無倚，離祖出家之命，一生勤苦勞心，妻子有克，帶疾方可延壽。詩：寅末命平安，祖業未能看，一生多險厄，無坡上高灘，子息招宜晚，頭妻未有緣，弟兄無倚靠，假子送歸天。

Those born in the middle part of the寅 hour, if their four pillars do not clash or control each other, will have both parents alive; have enough food and clothing; have good fortune and longevity; establish their own family business; achieve honor and fame first, and enjoy peace and safety in old age. The poem says: Those born in the middle of the寅 hour have a prosperous destiny; they are intelligent and strong-willed; they should leave their ancestral home; their reputation spreads far and wide; those born in this hour have few siblings; they have three grandchildren, ensuring family continuity through generations; they are destined to have conflicts with their wives, so they must be cautious; their later years bring benefits to their fields and estates. The poem also says: Those born at the end of the寅 hour have a peaceful life; they cannot rely on ancestral property; they face many dangers throughout their lives, like trying to climb a high bank without a slope to push against; they should wait longer for children; their first wife is not destined for them; they have no siblings to rely on; ultimately, it is an adopted child who will be their own funeral director.

卯時生人，父母兄弟妻子無力，初限中限作事無成，末限安穩一生難守祖業，出家入贅，先凶後吉，十八，二十六歲上有災，過此可延九十歲之壽。卯時初生人，先主克母，四方衣祿，有助祖業，既成又敗，作事有頭無尾，家卓自成自立之命。詩：生來初卯時，為人最孤悽，衣祿隨時度，見喜又生悲，寸土自成立，堪憐克正妻，兄弟不得力，子息定招遲。

Someone born in the卯 hour, will find neither parents nor siblings nor spouse reliable; in early and middle years, endeavors are difficult to succeed; only in old age will things become stable; throughout life, one cannot preserve the ancestral estate, and it is advisable to become a monk or take in a wife; initially there will be misfortune, but eventually good fortune. At the ages of eighteen and twenty-six, there will be calamity, but if one can overcome it, one can live to ninety. Those born in the earlier part of the卯 hour will first harm their mother; their livelihood comes from all directions; although they once helped the ancestral estate, it eventually fails; their affairs have a beginning but no end; they can only start from scratch and establish their own household. The poem says: those born in the early part of the卯 hour are the most lonely and desolate; they live day by day with just enough for food and clothing; just when they see good news, sorrow comes; they rely on a small piece of land to set up their own household; unfortunately, they will harm their lawful wife; siblings are not helpful; children will come late.

卯時中生人，命無克破，一生得橫財不求自至，武藝立生之命。詩：富貴架高梁，衣祿甚風光，一生家業旺，武藝近君王，子息成行別，妻宮定見雙，身星身命主，兄弟列成班。卯時末生人，先克父，十九成敗，衣祿進退末限平平，親子難招，祖業雖多，不得承受，獨權自立在外成家之命也。詩：初限甚勞碌，憂勤自立家，知音時運至，枯木又生花，命裡多兄弟，田莊又屬他，子息雖難靠，賢妻甚可誇。

Those born in the middle part of the卯 (Mao) hour have no punishments or damages in their fate; they often receive unexpected wealth without seeking it; their livelihood is based on martial skills. The poem says: wealth and honor can build high buildings; clothing and food are very prosperous; the family business thrives throughout life; they gain proximity to the king through martial skills; they have many children; the wife's palace definitely has two; their native star is their main star; siblings are arranged in order. Those born in the latter part of the卯 hour first harm their father; at nineteen they experience success and failure; their fortune and禄 (prosperity) advance and retreat, and their later years are ordinary; they find it difficult to have a biological son; although there are many ancestral properties, they cannot bear them; they are destined to hold power alone and establish a family outside. The poem says: early years are very laborious; they strive and work hard to establish their own household; once they meet a true friend and good fortune comes, it is like a withered tree blooming again; although there are many siblings in fate, the fields and estates belong to others; although children are hard to rely on, a virtuous wife is commendable.

辰時生人，父禺兄弟妻子，水金在格，聰明伶俐，初限有財，中限破財，末限依舊光輝，十九，二十七，三十六，三十九小災，過此七十五歲之壽。辰時初生人，先克父，若是長子必然難為兄弟，聰明晚事，慈心愛人，大事成小，衣祿平常，自成自立之命，子息晚招，離祖出贅方可。詩：衣祿四方來，兄弟六親乖，平地生荊棘，閒非憂悶懷，雙親椿早折，妻子淚盈腮，一生多反覆，疑是命中該。

A person born in the辰 (Chen) hour, in the sections of parents, siblings, wife, and the six relations, should have water and metal elements to form a good pattern (the term 「父禺」 should be 「父母」, as the original text has a similar character that was mistakenly written). This person is intelligent and quick-witted; they will have wealth in their early years, but will lose money in their middle years, and regain prosperity in their later years. At the ages of 19, 27, 36, and 39, there will be minor troubles, but after they pass, they will live to be 75 years old. For those born in the first part of the辰 hour, they will first harm their father; if they are the eldest son, their brothers will not be able to both survive; although they are intelligent, they will develop their talents later; they are kind-hearted and loving; they can turn big matters into small ones; their clothing and food are ordinary; they manage everything on their own; their children come late; they must leave their ancestral home and marry into another family. The poem says: clothing and food come from all directions; brothers and the six relations are not harmonious; thorns grow out of nowhere on flat ground; idle disputes trouble the mind; the father, like a great pine tree, dies early (「椿」 is an ancient term for father); the wife often cries; all through life, there is much ups and downs, and it seems to be destined by fate.

辰時中生人，先主克母，衣祿平平，立心公道剛直，中年富貴，性急如風吹口，易發易解，自成家業，妻生高門，贅婿外居之命。詩：日日走奔波，財源自有無，六親不得力，口舌事常多，辰正妻宮厄，兒孫未見和，外子承親母，晚景甚巍峨。辰時末生人，命無克破心地公道，財祿穩足，多受快樂，如魚化龍門飛騰變化，光耀家門之命。詩：魚龍變化身，衣祿自然盈，一朝雷雨作，四海振生名，辰末頭妻克，闐房親上親，親兒難得力，外子更相親。

People born in the middle of the辰 (Chen) hour first harm their mothers; their livelihood is average; they have upright and strong characters; they become wealthy and prosperous in middle age; they are impetuous, like a gust of wind passing through the mouth, quick to gain and quick to lose; they establish their own family businesses; they marry women from noble families; they are destined to be in-laws living outside their parents' home. A poem says: they are constantly traveling and working outside; their wealth comes and goes; they lack support from their six relations; they often encounter disputes over words; the wife's palace of those born at the exact middle of the辰 hour faces difficulties; there is not much harmony between children and grandchildren; the stepson supports the mother; but their later years are very prosperous.

亥時生人，心直口快，招人是非，一生作事，辛勤勞碌，初限祖業難守，末限大好，此乃晚景之命，十九，三十九，五十六小災，過此八十九之壽。亥時初生人，先主克父，作事百般如意，一生近貴，能為福壽兩全之命也。詩：萬種風流好，功名自有成，諸般皆遂意，福壽挽山青。亥時中生人，三十年無克破，父母前聲應後聲，為人平等自有權威，一生不犯災厄，親近貴人，晚景發達之命。詩：衣祿自然亨，平生福壽全，一心行善事，凡事坦然平。

Those born in the latter part of the亥 (Hai) hour will first harm their mothers; their clothing and food will be ordinary; they will have good intentions in all matters; their marriage will involve two partners, with both success and failure; they will achieve great wealth and blessings in their later years. The poem says: clothing and food must be earned through hard work at first; husband and wife will hinder each other; fortunately, they have no burdens or constraints; the child by a different surname will be with them; in old age they will enjoy peace and comfort; their mind will be clear and tranquil, making it an ideal time for cultivation; their farmland and property will meet their wishes; among their descendants, there will be officials and ministers. In the three parts of the亥 hour, the beginning signifies nobility, the middle signifies safety, and the end signifies prosperity in later years. This is exactly the purpose of dividing each hour into early, middle, and late parts in this book—since the same hour may have different influences at different times, the method of divination will change accordingly.

詳夫觀命之法，原以八字為主，八字俱好無沖剋刑破，如根基深固，不怕風搖，一遇疑限，即發財祿，遇反運亦不生災悔，年限沖千日時，方可決其悖沒，八字不全牢，逢福運而反殃，名曰：小船不堪重載，身弱無根，多逢煞運而大數難逃，以此推之，萬無一失，天下豪傑英俊，人間壽夭窮通，果有天機，全無巧言令色，年限自有，定局在前，如遇潤月生人，自可加減推算。

To examine the method of divining one's fate in detail, the fundamental basis is the Eight Characters (Ba Zi). If all eight characters are favorable without any conflicts, clashes, punishments, or destruction, it is like a house with deep and solid foundations, which can withstand the wind without shaking. When encountering a suspicious period of fortune, wealth and official rank may arise. Even if encountering an adverse period of fortune, it will not lead to calamity or regret. Only when the flow year and period of fortune conflict with the heavenly stem of the day pillar or the hour pillar (the character '千' is a mistake for '干', due to similar appearance in the original text), can one determine that there will be a decline. If the Eight Characters themselves are not solid, even if one encounters good fortune, it may bring misfortune, which is called 'a small boat cannot carry heavy cargo'. If the body is weak and lacks roots, it is often the case that encountering a malevolent period of fortune will lead to an inevitable fate. According to this principle, there is no possibility of error. The talents and heroes of the world, the longevity and short life, and the poverty and success of people on earth, indeed have their own heavenly secrets, which cannot be explained by empty words. The years are originally fixed and determined. If someone was born in a leap month, one can calculate by adding or subtracting the first or second half of the month (the character '润' is a mistake for '闰').

上半年夜半前，作前半月；下半年夜半後，作後半月。不問男子女人，地支四字，子寅辰午申戌為陽，丑亥酉未巳卯為陰，四字中陽多陰少，主克父，陰多陽少，主克母，得之於心，應之於手，年上起月，月上起日，日上起時，時上起刻，男順行，女逆行，逢凶即凶，逢貴即貴，運掌之間，昭然莫能逃。

The handling of a leap month is: if someone is born in the first half of the month but before midnight, it is counted as the first half; if born in the second half of the month but after midnight, it is counted as the second half. Regardless of gender, one should look at the four earthly branches in the four pillars: Zi, Yin, Chen, Wu, Shen, Xu belong to Yang; Chou, Hai, You, Wei, Si, Mao belong to Yin. If among the four characters there are more Yang than Yin, it indicates a father's death; if more Yin than Yang, it indicates a mother's death. These rules should be memorized well so that they can be applied smoothly. The order of calculation is: starting from the year pillar to the month pillar, from the month pillar to the day pillar, from the day pillar to the hour pillar, and from the hour pillar to the moment. For male fate, count forward; for female fate, count backward. When encountering a凶 star, it indicates misfortune; when encountering a贵 star, it indicates fortune. Everything operates clearly in the palm, everyone cannot escape. This passage concludes the entire book's method of counting and the general rule of male forward and female backward, which is the origin of the name "One Palm Classic."

推五命人得病日期。金命之人墓在丑，己丑日得病大凶；木命之人墓在未，癸未日得病大凶；水命之人墓在辰，壬辰日得病大凶；火命之人墓在戌，甲戌日得病大凶；土命之人墓在辰，丙辰日得病大凶。此法玄機通天地，大月從上數至下，小月從下數至上，先問得病月期數，便知病人患吉凶，妙訣推算無人會。

This section discusses the days on which people with certain Five Phases destinies are most likely to fall ill. According to the twelve palaces of the growth cycle of the Five Phases, the burial place of metal is Chou, so those with a metal destiny are most dangerous if they fall ill on Jichou day; the burial place of wood is Wei, so those with a wood destiny are most dangerous if they fall ill on Guiwei day; the burial place of water is Chen, so those with a water destiny are most dangerous if they fall ill on Renchen day; the burial place of fire is Xu, so those with a fire destiny are most dangerous if they fall ill on Jiaxu day; and for earth, which is said to be strong in the four seasons, the burial place is taken as Chen, so those with an earth destiny are most dangerous if they fall ill on Bingchen day. The term "burial" refers to the place where the original energy is stored and hidden. When illness occurs on the day of the person's destiny entering its burial place, it is as if the life energy is returning to its source and being hidden away, hence it is considered extremely dangerous. The secret of this method connects heaven and earth: when encountering a large month with thirty days, count downwards; when encountering a small month with twenty-nine days, count upwards. First determine the month and day the illness began, then count according to this method to determine the fortune of the illness. Unfortunately, this secret is very profound, but few people are skilled in its application.

先天毫釐定生死，初一日起仔細輪，馬立人生災有救，馬倒收拾入幽冥，馬斜有災即便治，祿正病重命不傷，祿馬倒無陰陽路，祿斜有災請醫冥。

The next is a mnemonic for predicting illness: the fate of life and death is determined in the slightest detail by the Earlier Heaven number. One should start counting from the first day of the month on the palm. When counting to "驿马" (Post Horse), if it is upright, the person may have misfortune but can still be saved; if it is inverted, one should prepare for the end and make arrangements for the afterlife; if it is slanted, there will be illness but it can be cured immediately. When counting to "禄" (Wealth), if it is upright, the illness may be severe but not life-threatening; if both "禄" and "驿马" are inverted, both yin and yang paths are cut off, and there is no way to recover; if "禄" is slanted, there will be misfortune, and one must urgently seek out a skilled physician. Here, "禄" and "马" refer to the positions of the Wealth God and Post Horse on the palm. The three states—upright, slanted, and inverted—are the conditions when counting to these positions, and they determine the severity and outcome of illness.

論每月生時小兒煞。正七休生巳亥時，二八辰戌不堪推，三九卯酉難存立，四十寅申生悲泣。五十一月防丑未，六十二子午ˋ悽，十二月中時有犯，小兒關煞報君知。論桃花煞（命宮犯此不可出莉）。申子辰雞叫亂人倫‘酉’，亥卯未鼠子當頭忌‘子’，巳酉丑跨馬南方走‘午’，寅午戌兔從卯裡出‘卯’。

First, the child's bad hour. The rule is: children born in January and July should avoid the hours of Si and Hai; those born in February and August should avoid the hours of Chen and Xu; those born in March and September should avoid the hours of Mao and You; those born in April and October should avoid the hours of Yin and Shen, as they will cry; those born in May and November should avoid the hours of Chou and Wei; those born in June and December should avoid the hours of Zi and Wu (this line originally had one missing character, the original was 'sixty-two Zi and Wuˋsad'). Each of the twelve months of a year has a forbidden hour, which is the rule for the child's bad hour. Now, the peach blossom evil spirit, those whose destiny is affected by this should not go out. The method is to take the position of the bathing in the triple harmony: Shen Zi Chen form a water triple harmony, the peach blossom is in You, so it is said 'the chicken's call disrupts human relationships'; Hai Mao Wei form a wood triple harmony, the peach blossom is in Zi, so it is said 'the rat is at the head and is to be avoided'; Si You Chou form a metal triple harmony, the peach blossom is in Wu, so it is said 'riding a horse to the south'; Yin Wu Xu form a fire triple harmony, the peach blossom is in Mao, so it is said 'the rabbit comes out from Mao'. The characters You, Zi, Wu, and Mao in the brackets are the branches where the peach blossoms fall in each triple harmony.

論十二時夫妻犯。羊鼠相逢一旦休，從來白馬怕轂牛，蛇逢猛虎如刀截，豬見猿猴似箭投，玉兔見莊雲裡去，金雞遇犬淚雙流，莫道陰陽無定準，管取夫妻不到頭。論子午卯酉時。子午卯酉四客高，為人聰俊逞諃豪，多有兄弟難倚靠，一雙父母不相交，時初時末為伴鏝，時正ˋ單獨自挑，餺重祿榮身檉顯，翼沖雲漢福滔滔。

The mnemonic for incompatible zodiac signs in marriage refers to six pairs of conflicting animals: sheep and rat meet, and the relationship ends immediately; a white horse fears a green ox; a snake meets a tiger, like being cut by a knife; a pig meets a monkey, like being shot by an arrow; a jade rabbit meets a dragon, and disappears into the clouds (the original text mistakenly wrote 'zhuang' instead of 'dragon', due to similar characters); a golden rooster meets a dog, and both weep. Do not say that yin and yang compatibility has no standard; according to this mnemonic, these combinations are sure to lead to marital failure. Now discussing the four key hours: zi, wu, mao, and you all belong to the 'four cardinal' directions, which form a high-level pattern; the person is intelligent and handsome, capable of displaying heroic spirit; although there are many siblings, they are not reliable; the parents do not get along well; those born at the beginning or end of the hour still have someone to rely on, but those born in the middle of the hour must be alone; wealth is abundant, honor is great, and the person is prominent; like a bird's wings reaching the Milky Way, the fortune is endless (the original text mistakenly wrote 'bo' instead of 'wealth' and 'cheng' instead of 'prestige', these two characters are similarly miswritten throughout the text).

論寅申巳亥時。寅申巳亥四字強，為人聰慧近文章，時正弟兄三四個，時初時末也成雙，父母無刑多倚靠，榮華檉顯坐高堂，若得父母雙全在，晚景康寧大吉昌。論辰戌丑未時。辰戌丑未四字ˋ，上妨父母齊親疏，雖有兄弟難倚靠，祖房常被別人租。時初管取先亡父，將來克母在冥途，公門事虰為生脪，男為僧道女尼姑。

Now discussing the four hours of Yin, Shen, Si, and Hai: these four belong to the "Four Long Lives," which have strong energy; the person is intelligent, inclined towards literary pursuits; those born at the exact middle of the hour have three or four brothers and sisters; those born at the beginning or end of the hour also have a pair of siblings; there is no conflict with parents, and they are often reliable; they achieve honor and prosperity, sitting in high places; if both parents are still alive, their later years are peaceful and fortunate. Finally, discussing the four hours of Chen, Xu, Chou, and Wei: these four belong to the "Four Storage Places" (the original text is missing one character at the end); the upper part hinders the parents, and the relationship with relatives is either close or distant; although there are siblings, they are not reliable; ancestral property is often rented out by others. Those born at the beginning of the hour will see their father pass away first; eventually, the mother will also pass away; they can only find a livelihood by working in the government office (the character "虰" should be "ye," and "脪" should be "ji"); men often become monks or Taoists, while women often become nuns. The division of the four main hours, the four long lives, and the four storage places forms the framework of this section.

年月逢識論（其識有十，隨某年上與某月生人所定符劣）。方丈識：方丈之識性無毒，為人權柄有威權，不犯刑沖多主檉，符壓文才大丈夫。子年二，七，十二月。丑年二，六，十一月。寅年二，九，十月。卯年正，四，十月。辰二，五，十二月。巳年二，六，十二月。午年正，四，七月。未年二，五，八月。申年二，六，十二月。酉年正，七，十二月。戌年六，九，十二月。亥年六，九，十二月。

This section discusses "knowledge" (识), which has ten types. They are determined by matching the earthly branch of the birth year with the birth month. By examining the year and month of birth, one can determine which type of "knowledge" a person belongs to, and thus judge their character as good or bad. The first type is "square measure knowledge" (方丈识). The poem says: people with square measure knowledge have a nature free of harmful intentions; they hold power and have authority; as long as the four pillars do not commit punishment and clash (刑冲), they are likely to achieve high status; their talent is sufficient to dominate others, making them outstanding literary men (the character "柽" is mistakenly written as "贵," and this character is similarly misused throughout this section). The years and months corresponding to square measure knowledge are: those born in the year of Zi (子) in the second, seventh, and twelfth months; those born in the year of Chou (丑) in the second, sixth, and eleventh months; those born in the year of Yin (寅) in the second, ninth, and tenth months; those born in the year of Mao (卯) in the first, fourth, and tenth months; those born in the year of Chen (辰) in the second, fifth, and twelfth months (the original text lacks the character "year" here); those born in the year of Si (巳) in the second, sixth, and twelfth months; those born in the year of Wu (午) in the first, fourth, and seventh months; those born in the year of Wei (未) in the second, fifth, and eighth months; those born in the year of Shen (申) in the second, sixth, and twelfth months; those born in the year of You (酉) in the first, seventh, and twelfth months; those born in the year of Xu (戌) in the sixth, ninth, and twelfth months; those born in the year of Hai (亥) in the sixth, ninth, and twelfth months.

The second type is called "Tong Tian Zhi" (Heavenly Insight). The poem says that people with this insight have a long lifespan; their clothing, food, salary, and livelihood are stable and secure; their demeanor is respected by others, and they are often close to noblemen. If this insight appears twice in the four pillars, it is a particularly auspicious fate. The years corresponding to "Tong Tian Zhi" are: those born in the Year of Zi (Rat) encounter the sixth and twelfth months; those born in the Year of Chou (Ox) encounter the first, seventh, and twelfth months; those born in the Year of Yin (Tiger) encounter the fifth, eighth, and twelfth months; those born in the Year of Mao (Rabbit) encounter the third, ninth, and twelfth months; those born in the Year of Chen (Dragon) encounter the second, fifth, and twelfth months; those born in the Year of Si (Snake) encounter the first, fourth, and tenth months; those born in the Year of Wu (Horse) encounter the first, fourth, and seventh months; those born in the Year of Wei (Goat) encounter the first, fourth, and tenth months; those born in the Year of Shen (Monkey) encounter the second, sixth, and eighth months; those born in the Year of You (Rooster) encounter the third and sixth months; those born in the Year of Xu (Dog) encounter the sixth, ninth, and twelfth months; those born in the Year of Hai (Pig) encounter the fifth, seventh, and eighth months.

The third type is called 'Sanhe Zhi' (Triple Harmony Identification). The poem says: Those with the Sanhe Zhi identification often face misfortunes in their early years; when their destiny encounters punishment and clash, misfortunes will come their way; however, those who possess this identification usually have a gentle and harmonious nature, but they are afraid of not being able to retain wealth at home (the character 'li' should be 'jia' and 'fou' should be 'cai'). The years and months belonging to the Sanhe Zhi identification are: in the Year of Zi, during the first, sixth, and ninth months; in the Year of Chou, during the fourth, seventh, eighth, and eleventh months; in the Year of Yin, during the fifth, eighth, and twelfth months; in the Year of Mao, during the sixth, ninth, and twelfth months; in the Year of Chen, during the first, fourth, and tenth months; in the Year of Si, during the second, eighth, and eleventh months; in the Year of Wu, during the first, second, fourth, and eleventh months; in the Year of Wei, during the first, fourth, and tenth months; in the Year of Shen, during the second, eleventh, and twelfth months; in the Year of You, during the second, sixth, and eleventh months; in the Year of Xu, during the first, fourth, and seventh months; in the Year of Hai, during the second, eighth, and eleventh months. The fourth type is called 'Puti Zhi' (Bodhi Identification). The poem says: Those with the Puti Zhi identification have a compassionate nature; as a result, they are hated by wicked people and bullied by good people; however, when they meet good people, they do not bully them, and when they meet wicked people, they do not fear them; throughout their lives, they will naturally possess noble appearance and solid foundation. The years and months belonging to the Puti Zhi identification are: in the Year of Zi, during the second, fifth, and twelfth months; in the Year of Chou, during the second, sixth, and twelfth months; in the Year of Yin, during the fourth, fifth, and tenth months; in the Year of Mao, during the second and tenth months; in the Year of Chen, during the second, sixth, and ninth months; in the Year of Si, during the fourth, seventh, and tenth months; in the Year of Wu, during the fifth, eighth, and tenth months; in the Year of Wei, during the sixth, ninth, and twelfth months; in the Year of Shen, during the fifth, ninth, and twelfth months; in the Year of You, during the second, sixth, and twelfth months; in the Year of Xu, during the second, fifth, and twelfth months; in the Year of Hai, during the second, fifth, and twelfth months.

The fifth type is "Fu Lu Shi" (Prosperity and Wealth Identification). The poem says: Those with "Fu Lu Shi" have great wealth; even if their money is spent, it will come back; in their birth chart, auspicious stars shine brightly, allowing them to often associate with noblemen; their clothing and food will naturally be as they wish (the character "Bo" is mistakenly written as "Cai" and "Xue" as "Xing", these two characters are both miswritten throughout the text). The years and months belonging to "Fu Lu Shi" are: in the Year of Zi, the sixth and twelfth months; in the Year of Chou, the second, ninth, and twelfth months; in the Year of Yin, the fourth, sixth, and twelfth months; in the Year of Mao, the second, fifth, and eighth months; in the Year of Chen, the second, eighth, and twelfth months; in the Year of Si, the first, fourth, and seventh months; in the Year of Wu, the second, fifth, and eighth months; in the Year of Wei, the third, fifth, and twelfth months; in the Year of Shen, the first, seventh, and tenth months; in the Year of You, the third, sixth, and twelfth months; in the Year of Xu, the sixth, ninth, and twelfth months; in the Year of Hai, the first, fourth, and eleventh months. The sixth type is "Liang Jia Shi" (Good Family Identification) (the original text says "Liang Li Shi", both characters are miswritten). The poem says: Those with "Liang Jia Shi" are accustomed to managing estates; their actions are stable, and they enjoy both fortune and status; the ancestral foundation is suitable for change; everything they do is self-reliant, and their family connections are good. The years and months belonging to "Liang Jia Shi" are: in the Year of Zi, the first, fourth, and tenth months; in the Year of Chou, the second, fifth, and tenth months; in the Year of Yin, the second, sixth, and twelfth months; in the Year of Mao, the first, fourth, and seventh months; in the Year of Chen, the second, sixth, and eleventh months; in the Year of Si, the second, sixth, and ninth months; in the Year of Wu, the fourth, seventh, and tenth months; in the Year of Wei, the fifth, eighth, and twelfth months; in the Year of Shen, the sixth, ninth, and twelfth months; in the Year of You, the first, seventh, and tenth months; in the Year of Xu, the second, fifth, and sixth months; in the Year of Hai, the first, fourth, and tenth months.

The seventh type is "Elimination of Misfortune." The poem says: Elimination of misfortune is inherent in one's destiny; born with a nature to do good deeds, one seldom experiences sorrow; within the Five Phases, there are naturally generating deities that assist; blessings continue endlessly, and misfortune never occurs. The years and months belonging to "Elimination of Misfortune" are: in the Year of the Rat, the second, sixth, and twelfth months; in the Year of the Ox, the first, seventh, and tenth months; in the Year of the Tiger, the first, seventh, and eleventh months; in the Year of the Rabbit, the second, ninth, and twelfth months; in the Year of the Dragon, the first, fourth, and seventh months; in the Year of the Snake, the second, fourth, and eleventh months; in the Year of the Horse, the fourth, seventh, and tenth months; in the Year of the Goat, the second, ninth, and tenth months; in the Year of the Monkey, the first, fourth, and tenth months; in the Year of the Rooster, the second, fifth, and eleventh months; in the Year of the Dog, the second, sixth, and eleventh months; in the Year of the Pig, the first, fourth, and tenth months. The eighth type is "Good Teacher." The poem says: A person of good teacher is respected by all; food and clothing are naturally abundant and prosperous; wherever he goes, he is liked by noblemen; when the flow of years meets his inherent destiny, he will have smooth and prosperous fortune. The years and months belonging to "Good Teacher" are: in the Year of the Rat, the fifth, eighth, ninth, and tenth months; in the Year of the Ox, the seventh, ninth, and twelfth months; in the Year of the Tiger, the first, seventh, and twelfth months; in the Year of the Rabbit, the sixth, ninth, and twelfth months; in the Year of the Dragon, the first, seventh, and tenth months; in the Year of the Snake, the sixth and eleventh months; in the Year of the Horse, the second, ninth, and twelfth months; in the Year of the Goat, the second, sixth, and tenth months; in the Year of the Monkey, the second, fifth, and tenth months; in the Year of the Rooster, the first, seventh, and eleventh months; in the Year of the Dog, the sixth, ninth, and twelfth months; in the Year of the Pig, the sixth, ninth, and twelfth months.

成就識：成就之識多耟慨，幼年不遂有妨害，好心救人成怨恨，只為自性無寧耐。子年二，六，九月。丑年二，六，九月。寅年四，七，十月。卯年五，八，十月。辰年三，九，十一月。巳年正，四，十月。午年八，十一月。未年二，九，十月。申年正，四，十月。酉年三，五，十二月。戌年二，六，十二月。亥年正，四，十月。佛法識：佛法之識不可輕，生來八字甚分明，好學古今心性巧，出語和人始終應。子年五，八，十一月。丑年二，九，十二月。寅年正，九，十一月。卯年二，十一月。辰年三，九，十二月。巳年正，四，十月。午年三，九，十月。未年六，九，十二月。申年六，九，十二月。酉年正，四，十二月。戌年二，六，九月。亥年四，七，十月。祿蝏周，初ㄐ辛苦，中末亨猷。

The ninth type is "Achievement Awareness." The poem says: Those with Achievement Awareness are mostly generous; they often face difficulties in their youth; they have good intentions to help others, but end up creating resentment; this is because they cannot maintain inner peace and patience. The years and months associated with Achievement Awareness are: in the Year of Rat, during the second, sixth, and ninth months; in the Year of Ox, during the second, sixth, and ninth months; in the Year of Tiger, during the fourth, seventh, and tenth months; in the Year of Rabbit, during the fifth, eighth, and tenth months; in the Year of Dragon, during the third, ninth, and eleventh months; in the Year of Snake, during the first, fourth, and tenth months; in the Year of Horse, during the eighth and eleventh months; in the Year of Goat, during the second, ninth, and tenth months; in the Year of Monkey, during the first, fourth, and tenth months; in the Year of Rooster, during the third, fifth, and twelfth months; in the Year of Dog, during the second, sixth, and twelfth months; in the Year of Pig, during the first, fourth, and tenth months. The tenth type is "Buddhist Awareness." The poem says: Buddhist Awareness should not be looked down upon; one's birth chart is very clear; they are eager to learn about ancient and modern matters, their minds are clever; their words are harmonious with others, and their words always come true. The years and months associated with Buddhist Awareness are: in the Year of Rat, during the fifth, eighth, and eleventh months; in the Year of Ox, during the second, ninth, and twelfth months; in the Year of Tiger, during the first, ninth, and eleventh months; in the Year of Rabbit, during the second and eleventh months; in the Year of Dragon, during the third, ninth, and twelfth months; in the Year of Snake, during the first, fourth, and tenth months; in the Year of Horse, during the third, ninth, and tenth months; in the Year of Goat, during the sixth, ninth, and twelfth months; in the Year of Monkey, during the sixth, ninth, and twelfth months; in the Year of Rooster, during the first, fourth, and twelfth months; in the Year of Dog, during the second, sixth, and ninth months; in the Year of Pig, during the fourth, seventh, and tenth months. The last sentence of the original text is damaged, but the general meaning is that there is an excess of official luck, which is complete, early years are hard, but middle and later years are prosperous and successful. ("蝏" is taken as "余," and one character is missing in the sentence.)

太陽薛值日生人，初一，七，八，十三。為人福祿，初年不足，末運硐達，賴太陽宿。太陰薛值日生人，初二，初十，十四。清秀奇富，父母幼無，男生離祖，女刑丈夫。天文薛值日生人，初三，九，十五。和諧翔敬，兒女相刑，末運豐足，夫婦ˋ零，男當離祖，女亦妨夫，修行念佛，可跳中途。

This section still determines fate based on the day star, but the listed dates differ slightly from the previous "Discussion on the Birth Day," and they can be cross-referenced. The character "薛" in each entry is actually a mistake for "星" (star), and "硐" is a mistake for "通" (passage). The Sun Star governs the days of the first, seventh, and thirteenth: those born on these days have fortune and official rank, but lack sufficiency in early years, and achieve success in later years, relying entirely on the blessing of the Sun constellation. The Moon Star governs the days of the second, tenth, and fourteenth: those born on these days have a refined appearance and an unusual wealth in their family; they lose their parents in childhood; men are destined to leave their ancestral home, while women may have conflicts with their husbands. The Celestial Star governs the days of the third, ninth, and fifteenth: those born on these days have harmonious and respectful relationships between husband and wife; there may be conflicts among children; they enjoy abundant fortune in later years; the relationship between husband and wife eventually declines (the original text is missing one character here); men are destined to leave their ancestral home, and women may suffer from marital difficulties; if they cultivate virtue and recite the Buddha's name, they can escape this mid-life hardship.

天母薛值日生人，初四，十六。多學少成，夫婦和寧，是非難免，中運清平，末ㄐ更美，餺祿豐盈。天帝薛值日生人，初五，十一，十七。衣食有蝏，伶俐文書，兄弟和睦，逸樂安居。太乙薛值日生人，初六，十二，十八。有享榮華，衣祿足跨，中運平常，晚歲亨嘉。

On the day of the Heavenly Mother Star, those born on the 4th and 16th days of the month: they learn much but achieve little; their spouses are harmonious and peaceful; they cannot avoid disputes; their middle years are quiet and smooth; their later years are even more beautiful (the original text is missing one character here); their wealth and official salary are abundant. On the day of the Heavenly Emperor Star, those born on the 5th, 11th, and 17th days of the month: they have enough food and clothing ("蝏" should be "余"); they are clever and good at handling documents; their siblings are harmonious; they live a comfortable and happy life. On the day of the Taiyi Star, those born on the 6th, 12th, and 18th days of the month: they can enjoy honor and prosperity; their food, clothing, and salary are more than sufficient; their middle years are ordinary; their later years are prosperous and beautiful. These three stars are roughly equivalent to the previous section's Tianfu, Tianhuang, and Taiyi stars, but with slightly different names, showing that in the transmission of this text, the same set of daily stars was referred to by two different names.

太陽薛值日生人，十九，二十五。衣足祿足，身餅天祿，平淡中年，後享賟福。太陰薛值日生人，二十，二十六。離祖成莉，智慧無涯，富檉衣祿，錦上添花。天文薛值日生人，二十一，二十七。男離祖命，難靠親情，出外昌盛，妻有沖刑。

The second group under the Sun Star is for those born on the 19th and 25th: their clothing, food, salary, andofficial stipend are all sufficient; they possess heavenly bestowed fortune (the character '饼' should be '秉'); their middle years are plain; afterwards they enjoy abundant blessings. The second group under the Moon Star is for those born on the 20th and 26th: they leave their ancestral home to establish their own households (the character '莉' should be '家'); they have boundless wisdom; they possess both wealth and fortune, which can be considered as adding flowers to a brocade. The second group under the Celestial Star is for those born on the 21st and 27th: men are destined to leave their ancestors' home; they cannot rely on family ties; they prosper when they go out; their marriage宫 has conflicts and punishments. When the same star governs the upper and lower halves of the month, the outcomes differ: the upper half often brings loneliness and hardship, while the lower half turns to abundance. This is the most important point to note when combining this section with the previous one.

天母薛值日生人，二十二，二十八。六親無靠，自卓勤勞，男女婚早，出外最高，檉人敬重，朋友相扶。天帝薛值日生人，二十三，二十九。為人和合，妻餺子祿，初限平常，晚運受福。太乙薛值日生人，二十四，三十。為事有成，父母凋零，巳弟無倚，自硐自興，初年不濟，末運稱情。

The second group under the Tianmu Star, which refers to those born on the 22nd and 28th days: the Six Relations offer no support; they rely entirely on their own diligence and ability to stand out; both men and women marry early; those who go out have the greatest prospects; they are respected by the Nobleman and supported by friends. The second group under the Tian帝 Star, which refers to those born on the 23rd and 29th days: they are harmonious and sociable; they enjoy the blessings of wife, wealth, children, and official rank; their early years are ordinary; their later years bring happiness. The second group under the Taiyi Star, which refers to those born on the 24th and 30th days: they can achieve success in their endeavors; their parents pass away early; their siblings offer no support (the character '巳弟' should be read as '兄弟'); everything is opened up by themselves and initiated by themselves (the character '硐' should be read as '通'); their early years are not prosperous, but their later years are satisfactory. The entire text ends here: starting from the twelve stars on the palm, proceeding to divide by year, month, day, and hour, and then to illness, child煞, peach blossom, ten identities, and daily value, forming a complete system that can be predicted with a single palm.
