On Water

一論王侯駙伯命蓋侯伯要祿馬，逢空休囚爵恩星到早而諸星皆會高強。用神亦在駕前只論身星，財帛為要身星好有才志，財星好享厚福，身星晦財星疲無才能而且窮也。一指揮千百戶命與雜流同論亦宜官恩好行，限好方許高升與前侯伯命兼看為是。一總兵參將與都堂命同只是武官文星欠，高身星欠清終不能近君也。當以權印刃劫等煞同論方有助威權之用也。一太監命與僧道同只是身福田，財星好享福有權柄也。

On the destinies of kings, princes, marquises, and eunuchs: For marquises and marquises, the Lu Spirit should be present, the Post-horse should not fall into Kongwang or be weak and confined. The爵 star and the恩 star should appear early, and all the stars should gather strongly and powerfully. The Useful God should also be in the position of the ruler. In addition, only the body star and the wealth star are most important. A good body star indicates talent and ambition, while a good wealth star indicates enjoying great fortune. If the body star is obscure and the wealth star is weak, then one has neither talent nor wealth. For those in command, thousand-household officers, and hundred-household officers, their destinies are considered the same as those from miscellaneous paths. They also need the official star and the恩 star to be good, and their life period to be favorable, in order to be promoted. They should be compared with the destinies of marquises and marquises mentioned earlier. The destinies of generals, deputy generals, and provincial governors are the same, but for military officials, their literary stars are not high enough and their body stars are not clear, so they cannot be close to the emperor. Therefore, the authority star, the seal star, the Yang Blade, and the Jiesha should be considered together to enhance their power. The destiny of eunuchs is considered the same as that of monks and Taoists. However, if the body palace, fortune virtue, land and house, and wealth stars are good, then they can enjoy happiness and have authority.

一有極貴而無子者蓋未垣安命以火為子為官火，至西而發，故得極貴而無子，若丑安命以金為子為官。金至西而囚，故得子而不發貴，看本星所泊何處高照何方。若有福星弱官星高得貴而不得子官，星高福星健主福與子俱好。經云：福德男女同一局也，若男女主好福德弱，雖有子不得盡終。一有僧道尼姑後還俗，生子者皆因原恩福官，度休囚煞神孤寡切照，後限遇夫妻星動驛馬桃花星照，孤寡皆去故生子也。

There are people who have great wealth but no sons. This is because their destiny is placed in the Wei palace, and the fire star serves as both the son star and the official star. When the fire star reaches the western direction, they achieve success, so they obtain great wealth but no sons. If their destiny is placed in the Chou palace, and the metal star serves as both the son star and the official star, then when the metal star reaches the western direction, it is in a confined position, so they have sons but cannot achieve great wealth. It all depends on where the original star is located and which direction it shines brightly. If the fortune star is weak but the official star is strong, they gain wealth but not sons; if the official star is strong and the fortune star is also healthy, then both fortune and sons are good. The classic text says: the fortune virtue palace and the male and female palace belong to the same group. If the male and female palace is strong but the fortune virtue palace is weak, even though they have sons, they cannot ensure their sons' good endings. There are also monks, Taoist priests, nuns, and those who later return to secular life and have children, because originally the mercy star, fortune star, and official star are in a confined position, and the evil spirits and Guchen Guasu stars are close by and shining. When they reach later years and the spouse star is activated, and the post-horse and Taohua stars shine, the evil spirits and Guchen Guasu stars disappear, so they are able to have children.

火宜獨居生星不宜重見，如木生更不宜見氣。木喜相生須要得，時如秋木落陷水孛同生，則木浮矣。限行煞地加浮沉主水厄。土主羅火夾生根本，雖固失之太驟，若守命主其非疾似疾加煞則疾。金喜土計夾生根本，固但發遲遇生旺則高。水宜金生但秀而欠實，凡金水皆秀星不若木土火羅之盛。

The planet Mars is favorable when it is alone; the star that generates it should not appear again. For instance, if there is already the planet Jupiter generating it, it is even more unfavorable to see the star Zi Qi again. Jupiter likes to be generated by other stars, but it must be timely; for example, if the wood is already in decline in autumn, and the water star and the moon孛 (Moon孛) come to generate it together, the wood will become floating and rootless. If the limit of the life path reaches a harmful place and is further combined with the evil of floating and sinking, it indicates a danger related to water. When the planet Saturn is generated by Ruo Hui and Mars from both sides, the foundation is solid, but it is too abrupt; if Saturn is guarding the native, the person will be ill without being truly ill, and if combined with evil stars, it will become a real illness. The planet Venus likes to be generated by the planet Saturn and Ji Du from both sides, which makes the foundation solid, but its development is delayed; once it meets a favorable and vigorous place, it can rise high. The planet Water should be generated by the planet Metal, but it is only elegant and lacks solidity; generally, the stars of Metal and Water are elegant, but not as vigorous as the stars of Wood, Earth, Fire, and Ruo.

金遇火羅克最凶加重，煞則傷殘，蓋飛廉陽刃為重也。金不宜為飛廉陽刃，羅火不宜為天雄地雌。木不宜金克，若金為飛廉陽刃最凶，他煞稍輕。水不宜土克強遏，則水不順流加計則水渴矣，或主氣滯女人主月水不通。火忌水克加孛則凶。土忌木克加氣則重，主疾限遇之難療或瘧疾加，煞則經年不愈。此以物理論之誠然矣，以及人身五臟稟天之五行論之，其疾病各有所屬，信不誤也。惟有土星為害則久。

When the planet of gold meets the planet of fire and the planet of Luo Hui, it is extremely dangerous. If more evil stars are involved, it can lead to serious injuries. Among these, the most severe are "Fei Lian" and "Yang Ren." Therefore, the planet of gold should not be transformed into Fei Lian or Yang Ren, and the planets of Luo Hui and fire should not be transformed into Tian Xiong or Di Ci. The planet of wood should not be overcome by the planet of gold; if the planet of gold is Fei Lian or Yang Ren, it is the most dangerous. Other evil stars are somewhat less severe. The planet of water should not be restrained by the planet of earth. If the earth strongly blocks it, the water cannot flow smoothly. If the star Ji Du is added, the water will dry up, or it may indicate stagnation of vital energy. For women, this may result in blocked menstruation. The planet of fire should not be overcome by the planet of water. If the moon Bo is added, it becomes even more dangerous. The planet of earth should not be overcome by the planet of wood. If the star Zi Qi is added, the effect is even more severe, leading to illness. If this occurs during a person's life span, it is difficult to treat, or may cause malaria. If more evil stars are involved, the illness may persist for a long time. According to the principles of the properties of things, this is indeed accurate. When considering the five elements in the heavens and their correspondence to the five internal organs in the human body, each illness has its corresponding element, and this is indeed correct. However, the planet of earth is the most harmful, as its effects last the longest.

木主慈清修近文加水則文章蓋世，安於巳或未或奎為最。金性剛烈主燥不藏事，得所則好義。遇水則淫，孛次之，見氣孤硬。水星多智巧無善星，三方對照則性流無定，遇孛則氾濫矣。遇土同躔如水命人及坐命於水，則沉晦如主為奴。原無生旺祿貴宮而為大小耗，天地耗並則為潛偷之人終身晦滯，無能為。

Jupiter represents compassion, elegance, and a scholarly disposition, and when combined with the water star, it leads to extraordinary literary talent. A person's destiny is best placed in the Si mansion, Wei mansion, or the Legs mansion. The metal star is fierce in nature, indicating a quick-tempered and secretive personality; if it is in a favorable position, it is good for righteous deeds. If it meets the water star, it leads to promiscuity; if it meets the moon孛, it is slightly worse; if it meets the purple qi, it indicates a solitary and stubborn character. The water star is intelligent and resourceful, but if it is not accompanied by auspicious stars and is only in opposition, the person's nature is unstable and drifting; if it meets the moon孛, it becomes even more chaotic and directionless. When the water star is in conjunction with the earth star, if the native's destiny is of the water type or the destiny mansion is in the water mansion, the person will be dull and obscure, and even resemble a servant. If the native's destiny is not in a favorable or prosperous mansion, or in the Lu spirit mansion or the nobleman mansion, but instead in the great loss or minor loss mansion, and also meets the heavenly loss and earthly loss together, then the person is someone who steals in secret, always obscure and without achievement throughout their life.

土主厚重得局守信如在巳，雖破局或土命人則星照，本家或長生祿馬貴人加臨，皆作好論如壬寅壬申，生人長生貴人在巳是也。火羅助之其性不甚響快，貌亦不揚，土計同宮其人執拗自是窒塞不通。火得局好禮化耗反主耗，財虛花使用，若不得地則弄巧成拙，加煞急燥主身常生瘡痍或至於癩而壽不遠。

Saturn represents solidity and weight; if it is in a favorable position, it can indicate reliability. For example, if Saturn is in the Si palace, even if the overall structure is broken, or if the native's destiny is of the earth element and there are stars shining upon the native's native palace, or if the Longsheng (growth), Lu Spirit, Post-horse, and Nobleman are added, it can still be considered favorable. For instance, those born in the Renshen or Renyin years have their Longsheng and Nobleman in the Si palace. If the Fire Star and Luo Hui assist, the person's nature is not very cheerful, and their appearance is not outstanding. If Saturn is in the same palace as Ji Du, the person is stubborn and self-willed, with blocked thoughts. If the Fire Star is in a favorable position, the person is polite; but if it transforms into a consuming spirit, it indicates financial loss and wasteful spending. If the Fire Star is not in a favorable position, it leads to mistakes; if combined with malevolent stars, the person becomes impetuous and irritable, often suffers from sores, and may even contract leprosy, resulting in a short lifespan.

日喜金水同宮則人材美貌，或能言日忌與羅同守，命非足疾則目疾。日遇孛在前後者皆不吉，但後重於前亦主有疾或瞽或目疾或主傷，親火尤甚但火主上孛或上或下。月喜望夜或上下弦宜金火助之，孛在後則好在前，則不吉。月遇計則主目疾，月與土同躔亦與火日同論。凡日宜晝月宜夜晝月守命或遇火羅，則晦亦主人貌黑土計宜晝不宜夜氣，木亦然。

The Sun is favorable when it is in the same palace as Venus or Mercury, indicating that the person is outstanding in talent, handsome in appearance, or eloquent in speech. The Sun is unfavorable when it shares the palace with Rahu, which may cause illness in the feet or eyes. When the Sun meets the Moon孛, it is not auspicious whether it is in front or behind, but being behind is worse, leading to illness, possibly blindness or eye disease, or harm to close relatives. If Mars is also present, the effect is even more severe; however, Mars is usually above, while the Moon孛 may be either above or below. The Moon is favorable when it is born on a full moon night or during the waxing or waning phases, and it is also beneficial when assisted by Venus or Mars. The Moon孛 being behind the Moon is better, but if it is in front, it is not auspicious. When the Moon meets Ji Du, it indicates eye disease. When the Moon is in the same palace as Saturn, it is treated similarly to the cases involving the Sun and Mars. Generally, the Sun is favorable for those born during the day, while the Moon is favorable for those born at night. A lunar moon born during the day, or encountering Mars or Rahu, becomes dark and lacks brightness, indicating a dark complexion. Saturn and Ji Du are favorable during the day, not at night, and Purple Qi and Jupiter are the same.

凡紫氣守命皆主多須躔，水土度者多，金度者少，又夜火好禮晝土持重矮肥木主慈愛人必清秀。金性剛不藏事遇火則淫亂，在妻宮加煞則妻淫，水木主清秀如會文昌星或巳亥學堂或奎井亥，宮皆為文章之士夜火奎壁火命。亦然奎木伶俐三方咸池，咸池或遇金，孛主風流奴主高則為樂人。水土守命晦甚晝火坐命夜，土切照亦然晝火暴怒夜土頑愚。

All those with the purple qi at their destiny are likely to have a lot of facial hair. Those whose destiny is in the water degree or the earth degree have even more, while those in the metal degree have less. Those born at night with a red star are polite and courteous. Those born during the day with a yellow star are steady and have a short, stout build. Those with a green star are compassionate and are sure to be handsome. A star of metal is rigid and secretive, and when it meets the red star, it leads to licentiousness. If there are alsoInauspicious Sha in the wife's palace, it indicates the wife is licentious. Stars of water and green stars indicate a handsome appearance. If they join with the 文昌, or if they are in the巳 or 亥 degrees which are the academies, or if they are in the 奎, 井 or 亥 palace, they are scholars with literary talent. Those born at night with a red star in 奎 or 壁, or those whose destiny is of fire, are also the same. The 奎 mansion belongs to wood, indicating a clever person. If the three palaces meet with Xianchi, or if Xianchi meets with the metal star or the moon孛, it indicates a person with a romantic nature. If the master of the servant palace is strong, then the person is a musician. Stars of water and earth at destiny are very obscure. Those born during the day with a red star at destiny, or those born at night with a yellow star close by, are also like this. A red star during the day indicates a person who is easily angered, while a yellow star at night indicates a person who is foolish.

天經地緯拱身拱命皆為上，只不喜遇斗標指破斗標居官，官不起亦貴格。五曜聯珠四餘，不雜為貴但不宜背命。五星聚天門命坐其間大貴亦不宜餘氣間之。四餘七政皆欲得所宜向東南不宜西沒，雖居離明又不宜背命。或五曜聯珠命坐其間亦富貴。

The stars "Heavenly Path" and "Earthly Meridian" forming an arch over the body palace and the destiny palace are both considered superior patterns, but they are not favored when the star "Doubtful Pointer" comes to point out their flaws. If the "Doubtful Pointer" is located in the official position palace, the official rank cannot rise, but it is still considered a noble pattern. When the five stars are connected in a line like a string of pearls, and the four additional stars do not interfere, it is a noble pattern; however, it is not suitable for them to be away from the destiny palace. When the five stars gather in theHai Palace (Hai Palace), which is the heavenly gate, and the destiny palace is located within it, it indicates great wealth and honor, but it is also not suitable for other stars to be in between. The four additional stars and the seven main stars should each be in their proper positions, facing the southeast direction, and not falling into the west and becoming submerged; even if they are in the southern bright area, they should not be away from the destiny palace. If the five stars form a string of pearls and the destiny palace is exactly in the middle, it also indicates wealth and honor.

如命在卯七政在南趨從必貴位至八座，凡觀星皆宜拱命不宜背命。格高命高主富貴，雖居暗地不可作下論。或巳亥有星其餘皆無星，亥巳安命主貴大抵已上安命不如亥上為妙。大抵五星及四餘守人身命皆從其星象之性情，形貌性質以比人之賦異者各有所稟。

For example, if the命宫 is in卯, and the seven planets are all in the southern direction and follow and support the命宫, then one will certainly achieve great status and hold a high position, such as that of an official of the eighth rank. In general, when observing stars, it is most suitable for them to be directed towards the命宫, and not to be opposite to it. If the overall configuration is high and the命宫 is also high, then it indicates wealth and honor; even if these stars are located in dark places, they should not be considered as inferior. Alternatively, if there are stars in巳 and亥, while other palace have no stars, placing the命 in either巳 or亥 will indicate high status; however, in general, placing the命 in亥 is more favorable than placing it in巳. In summary, the five planets and four additional stars guarding the person's body palace and命宫 should follow the nature, appearance, and quality of each star, comparing them to the different innate talents people possess, each with their own disposition.

刃並天雄劫加地雌守星善則險處獲財，限路危則亡生喪魄。飛廉陽刃忌見羅計，官符病符月符不宜重見，見則有囹圄之患。天馬地驛會木孛一生招是惹非，天耗地耗守田財終身貧窮偃蹇。若大小耗並劫盜辱身，劫刃地雌遇妻星揚鞭再醮，天雄白虎入官宮多招橫禍。

The Yang Blade and the Heavenly Horse together indicate a situation where, if the person is protected by a good star, they may still gain wealth in dangerous circumstances; but once the limit of life reaches a dangerous place, they will die and lose their soul. The Flying廉 and Yang Blade should avoid encountering Luo Hou and Ji Du; the Guan Fu, Bing Fu, and Moon Symbol should not appear repeatedly, as their appearance brings imprisonment and legal troubles. The Heavenly Horse and Earthly Post will meet Jupiter and Moon孛, causing constant disputes throughout life. The Heavenly Loss and Earthly Loss guarding property and wealth lead to lifelong poverty and hardship. If both Great Loss and Minor Loss appear together, one will suffer from robbery and theft and face disgrace. The Jiesha, Yang Blade, and Earthly Female encountering the wife star will result in the wife changing her husband. The Heavenly Horse and White Tiger entering the official position palace bring frequent misfortunes.

陽刃在命性必橫，劫煞在命性必孤，又云天雄在命性必雄。陽刃在命必有疾加天雄必破相，氣羅相會亦主孤，大小限見月符又須傷上損下。孤辰寡宿會劫刃華蓋則為泉石間人，天耗會的劫刃亡非雷傷則當虎噬，度健限強亦主身亡不知暗煞加臨三方切照，財福失經命元雖弱而又榮華蓋緣夾拱有力，日月目之象亦親之象計羅近之則目有疾。

The presence of the Yang Blade in the命宫 indicates a nature that is definitely fierce and stubborn; the presence of Jiesha in the命宫 indicates a nature that is definitely solitary and reclusive; there is also a saying that the presence of Tianxiong in the命宫 indicates a nature that is definitely strong and powerful. The presence of the Yang Blade in the命宫 definitely brings illness, and if combined with Tianxiong, it will lead to disfigurement; the meeting of Zi Qi and Luo Hui also indicates loneliness. When the 大限 and 小限 meet the "Yue Fu," it will result in harming the elders above and the younger generations below. When "Guchen" and "Gusu" are present, along with Jiesha, Yang Blade, and "Huagai," the person is a hermit living in mountains, forests, springs, and rocks. The presence of Tianhao along with "De Sha," "Jiesha," "Yang Blade," and "Wangshen" indicates either being struck by lightning or bitten by a tiger; even if the position is strong and the limit is powerful, it will still lead to death, because the person is unaware that the hidden evil stars have already arrived and the three directions are closely shining. If the wealth and Fortune Virtue lose their normal course, yet the命元 is weak but still prosperous, it is because the夹拱 is strong. The sun and moon are symbols of the eyes and also of the parents; when Ji Du and Luo Hui approach closely, the eyes will suffer illness.

陽刃極重天雄地雌劫煞飛廉次之，父母忌之亦然。日月犯刃火羅帶煞守命必傷親或目疾，日月逢蝕非眼盲則足跛。金火不宜同途羅孛次之。如乙亥生人又是正月，此水孛為劫主又是飛廉。或五月十月是耗主，況乙亥火命人水孛為煞太重，女人則主夭男人尢重。如壬午癸未生人得孛在卯貴旺同臨此人必發。

Among all the evils, the Yang Blade is the most severe, followed by Tian Xiong, Di Ci, Jie Sha, and Fei Lian. These are also the things to avoid when considering parents. If the sun and moon are afflicted by the Yang Blade, or if the fire star and Luo Hou are accompanied by evil influences in the destiny, it will certainly cause harm to the parents or result in eye disease for oneself. If the sun and moon are exactly afflicted by an eclipse, it will either cause blindness or lameness. The metal star and fire star should not be in the same path, and the Luo Hou and Yue Bo are slightly less severe. For example, someone born in the year of Yihai, if born in the first lunar month, the water star and Yue Bo become the masters of Jie Sha, and also Fei Lian; or if born in the fifth or tenth lunar month, they become the masters of consuming energy. Moreover, the nayin sound element of the year Yihai belongs to fire, so the water star and Yue Bo being evil influences are even more severe. For women, this leads to early death, while for men, the harm is even greater. Another example is someone born in the year Renwu or Guiwei. If the Yue Bo is in the卯 (Mao) position, and the Nobleman and旺气 (prosperous energy) are both present, this person will certainly achieve success.

生旺皆不重見或生地坐命不宜行旺限老人，遇之則死，否則衰敗遷移主沖主徒流，若限主前煞主後亦有此患。遷移克破田財度主衰弱，主破家蕩產或我生他，主晦限亦然為其洩氣故也。身命二主怕逢奴元，奴僕之主不宜守命主勞碌。

The Life Qi and the Prosperity Qi should not appear repeatedly. If the命宫 is located in the Growth position, it is not advisable to then enter the Prosperity limit; if an elderly person encounters this limit, they will die, or otherwise suffer decline. If the ruler of the Migration宫 comes to clash, it indicates distant travel or migration; if the ruler of the limit comes first and the ruler of the malevolent star comes after, there will be similar misfortunes. If the Migration宫 overcomes and destroys the Field and Wealth宫, and the ruler of the degree is weak, it indicates the destruction of the family and loss of property. If I go to generate other stars, it also indicates stagnation, and the same applies when entering the limit, because it is the leakage of one's own Qi. The ruler of the body and the ruler of the命 are most afraid of encountering the Origin God of the Servant宫; the ruler of the Servant宫 should not be in charge of the命, which will lead to a lifetime of toil.

凡用星皆不宜見奴元，官祿宮主忌見天雄。但官主不喜克命，若福德主克命乃為上格。財元則可，田宅次之須加貴人生旺祿馬之屬為美。大概財主官主要與命會則吉，但朝陽之星喜官星命主度主，其餘不可概論，如行限再見此度中決然利遂。

Any star used should not be seen with the servant's palace's origin god. The ruler of the official position palace should avoid seeing the "Tian Xiong." However, the ruler of official position does not like to overcome the birth palace; instead, the ruler of fortune virtue overcoming the birth palace is considered superior. The origin god of wealth and treasure overcoming the birth palace is acceptable, the origin god of fields and houses is secondary, but it must be combined with nobleman, birth and prosperity, lu spirit, and post-horse to be considered good. In general, the ruler of wealth and the ruler of official position should meet with the birth palace to be auspicious. As for the "Chao Yang" star, it prefers the official star, the ruler of destiny, and the ruler of degree; other stars should not be treated the same. When this degree is reached in the time of movement, it will certainly be smooth and beneficial.

如煞星朝陽則勢張惡為扶陽勢命，限犯之則凶。八煞主不喜朝陽亦不宜克命不宜克官，假如酉宮命限行子宮遇木此為煞克官也。禍害纏綿若胃土安命為禍尢重，或克納音之星，若朝陽再行，此度輕則出百端之禍。重則決死斷之，但論諸煞守命要命，度主身主三者無相剋犯又在強宮，諸煞臨之則無害也。

If a malevolent star encounters the morning sun, its energy becomes more prominent, and the evil star may turn into a force that supports the sun; if the limit of one's life path conflicts with it, it will be very dangerous. The master of the Eight Killings does not like the morning sun, nor should it conflict with the命宫 or the official position. For example, if the命宫 is in You and the limit reaches Zi while encountering the wood star, this is a malevolent star conflicting with the official position, leading to continuous misfortunes; if the命 is set with the 'Wheat Soil Chicken' star, the harm will be even greater. Alternatively, if it conflicts with the star belonging to the nayin sound element of the year's birth, and that star is also in the morning sun, and the limit reaches that degree again, the light case may bring various troubles, while the severe case may result in certain death. However, when discussing malevolent stars governing the命, it is essential that the命主, 度主, and 身主 do not conflict with each other, and all are in strong positions, then even with many malevolent stars present, there will be no harm.

囹圄古之拘罪人之室，今之牢獄也。揚鞭古之結親招婿以絲鞭為信再醮，凡女臨嫁母酌酒以醮之，曰：必敬必恭，相爾夫子。此言揚鞭再醮者再適其夫也。壬癸生人貴人在卯孛能助之，故發凡人之命坐主高強有吉星扶之，主貴凶煞臨之，主賤此天時人事之常情也。只是吉神惡煞顛倒，錯亂交互，則為主疾厄而傷壽也。

The "lingyu" mentioned above refers to the ancient building where criminals were detained, which is today's prison. "Yangbian" refers to the custom in ancient times when a man would present a silk whip as a token of engagement when marrying a woman. "Zaijiao" refers to the ceremony performed by the mother of a bride on the day of her marriage, where she pours wine and instructs her to be respectful and to properly support her husband. Here, "yangbian zaijiao" refers to remarriage after a previous marriage. The nobleman of those born in the years of Ren and Gui is located in the卯宫 (Mao Palace), and the moon's shadow can assist it, so they can achieve success. Generally speaking, a person's destiny is prosperous if the main star is strong and is supported by auspicious stars; if malevolent stars are present, it indicates a humble status. This is the common principle of heaven and human affairs. However, once auspicious deities and malevolent stars are reversed and mixed together, it can lead to illness and shorten one's lifespan.

日之為性寬緩慈心，有大人之氣量，習君子之威儀。出入端莊，言語真實，肯憐貧念老撫幼恤孤，火羅同度足將進而沬趄，口將言而囁嚅。木氣同度孤克有餘水孛，同宮剛柔相濟春日遲麗溫悕可人，夏日剛烈刑剋六親，秋日干曬方而不圓冬日可愛，人皆曝之。日乃人君之象至尊至貴，非諸星可比倫者也。

The Sun is characterized by a broad and gentle nature, a kind heart, and a magnanimous spirit, embodying the dignity of a gentleman. Its movements are dignified and composed, its speech sincere and truthful, and it is willing to show compassion to the poor, care for the elderly, nurture the young, and support the orphaned. If the Sun is conjunct Mars and Rahu, it becomes hesitant in movement and hesitant in speech. If it is conjunct Jupiter and Zi Qi, it tends to be more solitary and may cause afflictions. If it is conjunct Mercury and Yue Bo, it achieves a balance between firmness and flexibility. In spring, the Sun is gentle and bright, warm and pleasant. In summer, it is fierce and harsh, causing afflictions to the Six Relations. In autumn, it is dry and severe, upright but not flexible. In winter, it is affectionate and lovable, as everyone enjoys its warmth. The Sun represents the sovereign, the highest and most esteemed, incomparable to any other star.

月之為宿雖性聰敏，終受問於人。蓋月稟陽精妻順於夫性不自專，謀事多密至於孤克之曜也。與土蝕晦口納言而心等計但春月美麗照耀山林，夏月可愛春風和氣，秋月朗俊出人頭地，冬月雖清嚴凝可畏發輝旦旦，孤潔有餘自愛自好之性，人所未之知也。月乃後母之象，與日配至尊貴亦不可與諸星比倫者也。

The star Tai Yin, although intelligent and clever by nature, ultimately has to obey others. Since the moon receives the yang essence from the sun, it is like a wife obeying her husband, and its nature cannot be independent. When it comes to planning matters, it tends to be secretive. As for it becoming a solitary and harsh star, this occurs when it meets the planet Tu Xing and is obscured or hidden. In such cases, the person is silent on the outside but constantly calculating within. In spring, the moon is beautiful, illuminating mountains and forests; in summer, it is lovely, like a gentle spring breeze; in autumn, it is bright and elegant, indicating outstanding ability; in winter, although cold and severe, it shines brightly, showing a solitary and pure nature. This self-respect and self-love is unknown to others. Tai Yin represents the queen mother, paired with the sun, and is the most exalted, not to be compared with other stars.

金於五行主義為性剛直，方多員少帶咸池則淫，冶帶陽刃則剛方，多義氣之人。乃始終之士但骨肉無情恩，中生怨然可喜者作事，敢為肯任勞苦。賦云：雪浪瓊瑰雲間珠，玉孕神光於日月。見精彩之風雷成室，自多常燦飛霞之色，人間如得全資烈火之功。

In the Five Phases, metal represents 'righteousness', with a nature that is firm and upright, having more rectitude and less adaptability. If metal is accompanied by Xianchi, it indicates licentiousness and indulgence; if accompanied by the Yang Blade, it shows strength and uprightness, making it a person of great integrity who can remain consistent from beginning to end. However, it tends to be distant in matters of family affection, often leading to resentment within kindness. Fortunately, it is bold in action, willing to endure hardship. The classic says: metal is like white waves, beautiful jade, and pearls in the clouds, nurturing divine light beneath the sun and moon; when it meets brilliant wind and thunder, it forms palaces and halls, and its own brilliance often resembles flying霞 (a type of colorful cloud). For mankind to fully harness its potential, it relies entirely on the refining power of intense fire.

木於五行主，仁為性從直，有柔有剛，挽之則前，舍之則往所謂。道合則從，不合則去，不肯以私滅公徇情，說眾不失，背則負藝諸般聰明伶俐，事不憚煩心懷惻隱。木有搖壑昂霄之德，凌雲蔽日之功。

In the Five Phases, Wood represents "Ren" (benevolence). Its nature is compliant yet upright, possessing both softness and firmness: when guided it moves forward, when released it goes on its own. What is in harmony with the Way follows, while what is not in harmony departs. It does not compromise justice for personal gain or act unjustly for favor. It can unite with others without losing its own identity; once it turns away, it betrays its learning. Such people are intelligent and skillful in various arts, undaunted by difficulties, and always harbor compassion. Wood has the virtue of shaking mountains and reaching for the clouds, and it also serves the function of overshadowing the sun.

水於五行主智為性員變喜怒無，常激之則揚。抵之則怒，順之則喜，終智巧之人，多能之士人物和氣，骨肉無情能施恩，布惠能逐波隨流，只是於事多般勤始而怠終東西無定。雷飛瀑布相連南北之流，練掛煙霞對峙東西之浪。

Water in the Five Phases governs 'Wisdom', with a nature that is round and changeable, prone to sudden shifts in mood. When provoked, it becomes turbulent; when blocked, it becomes angry; when顺应, it becomes joyful. Ultimately, it represents the wise and versatile person, who is amiable in dealing with others but cold towards family. It can bestow favors and also follow the flow of circumstances. However, it tends to be diligent at the beginning of tasks but lazy in their completion, constantly moving about without a fixed place. It is like a flying thunder and a waterfall connected to form a flow from north to south, and also like a white silk hanging in mist and clouds, facing each other to form waves from east to west.

火於五行主，禮為性暴燥，有喜有怒，觸之則氣奮斗牛，悅之則順如。風草終是有頭無尾，有口無心，但觀其性者如苛虐之為，然察其由者實隘狹之，故若受水之制溫恭有禮，辭遜謙讓勇而後悔。騰光輝於宇宙，布烜赤於乾坤。

Fire among the Five Phases governs 'ritual propriety', it is impetuous in temperament, alternating between joy and anger. If provoked, its power can rival the star of the Bull; if pleased, it becomes obedient like grass in the wind. It is ultimately a person with a head but no tail, with words but no heart. Observing its actions, it seems harsh and cruel; examining its reasons, it is merely due to a narrow-mindedness. If restrained by water, it becomes respectful and courteous, modest and yielding, but is courageous for a moment and then regrets afterwards. Such fire in the heavens shines brightly throughout the universe and spreads its red color across the cosmos.

土於五行主信為性機變，有方有員。觸之則怒恨於心，悅之則喜無不信。但心難測隱事要密為，雖言語默而暗計有餘，縱於事緊而反寬反緩，不寬急之心性不忙煞之觸人。氣能成物功以育物發乎，根荄杜乎萼蕊火燥反成其殃，土養木疏必成其器。

In the Five Phases, Earth governs 'trust'. Its nature is quick-witted and changeable, both square and round. If angered, it holds grudges in its heart; if pleased, it has no reluctance to believe. However, its thoughts are hard to fathom, and it handles secret matters with meticulous care. Though it speaks little, it calculates much in secret. Even in urgent situations, it remains calm and unhurried, showing a nature that is not anxious inside, nor hurried or forceful in action. Earth nurtures all things and contributes greatly to the sustenance of life. It can initiate vitality from the roots and also restrain growth at the flower buds. Fire's excessive dryness becomes its own misfortune; Earth nourishes wood, and wood in turn channels Earth, and the two complement each other, inevitably leading to success.

氣乃木餘仁之小者，所知者百子之書，所能者九流之技煩心好靜事能多曉。到七宮妻主無男，到五宮兒多僧道，若居財帛不取無義之財，若入命宮妨妻害子實，其性之孤高為南方之強也。若會計都巧言花語，又非前論。氣孛羅計為四餘，喜獨行為吉命，主身主遇之相生則吉，反克則凶。

Purple Qi is the residual energy of wood, and it represents the lesser aspect of "ren" (benevolence). It understands the writings of the Hundred Schools of Thought and excels in the diverse skills of the nine streams. Its mind is intricate and it prefers quietness, being capable of understanding many things. When Purple Qi is in the seventh house, which is the wife's house, it indicates no sons; when it is in the fifth house, which is the children's house, the sons are mostly likely to become monks or Taoist priests. If it resides in the wealth house, the person does not take unjust wealth; if it enters the命宫 (life house), it harms the wife and children—this is because its nature is lofty and solitary, belonging to the strong and direct path of the south. If it is joined by Ji Du, it becomes a person who is eloquent and talkative, which is a different matter altogether. Purple Qi, Yue Bo, Luo Hui, and Ji Du are collectively known as the Four Extra, and they prefer to act alone for good fortune; when the命主 (life ruler) and身主 (body ruler) encounter them, mutual generation brings good fortune, while mutual control brings misfortune.

孛乃水餘智之小者所知者功利之私，所能者眼前之巧誇多斗靡矜己。忽人喜從諛不喜箴規，愛人情不愛清致，泊陽刃咸池則賭博為生會計，都羅?則巧言令色。與氣同會反為柔弱之人，只是內藏奸計到天門乃著朱衣之所外貌，有餘愛聲名喜功利到獅子則狠而無禮，饕而有餘到磨羯則暗計難量，外假尊重內實嬌淫為妨夫克子之星，為鼓盆絕弦之曜。此星十二宮皆脫裸卻來亥，上著朱衣莊子妻死不哭鼓盆而歌，故有此殺之論。

The Moon孛 is the residual energy of water, representing a lesser form of wisdom. It understands only personal gains and worldly success, and is skilled only in short-term cunning. It likes to show off wealth and status, is self-conceited and dismissive of others, enjoys flattery and dislikes advice, values human relationships over refined elegance. If it shares a palace with the Yang Blade and Xianchi, it leads a life of gambling. If it joins with Jiudu and Luohou, it is deceitful and insincere. When it meets Zi Qi, it becomes a weak person with hidden schemes. When it reaches the Heaven Gate in theHai Palace, it is adorned in red robes, appearing respectable and seeking fame and profit. When it reaches the Lion Palace, it becomes cruel and greedy; when it reaches the Capricorn Palace, it plots secretly and is hard to read, appearing dignified on the outside but actually very sensual. It is a star that harms the husband and harms children, and a star that causes the loss of a wife and the breaking of a string. This star in all twelve palaces shows the image of being naked, but only in theHai Palace does it wear red robes. Zhuangzi did not weep when his wife died, but instead beat a clay pot and sang, hence the term "drumming the coffin" as aInauspicious Sha.

羅乃火餘禮之小者，性至於燥燥必厭煩，煩必怒，生生成勇敢。蓋火餘而易滅一怒而易消，事曾為而後悔心，剛勁而膽寒，居十二宮則面斑有麻，到八煞宮則為酒痔氣疾或主損。目女常血撓，如居官祿惹是招非，若在七宮妻多反目。此星在天逆行號為天首。計乃土餘信之小者，機巧有餘能言之士，內外異態二三其心所作匪，常所謀不一到中年方保，可安安之則刑六親孝服常見。此星在天逆行為天尾與羅星相對。

Rohu is the leftover energy of fire, and is the lesser aspect of "ritual propriety." Its nature is extremely impetuous; impatience leads to annoyance, annoyance leads to anger, and once anger arises, it shows bravery. However, since it is merely the leftover energy of fire, it is easily extinguished; after a fit of anger, it fades away, and after doing something, it often regrets it. Its nature is strong-willed, yet its courage is timid. Rohu resides in the twelve houses, indicating spots or blemishes on the face; when it is in the "Eight Killings" house, it signifies hemorrhoids or ailments caused by anger, or damage to the eyes; for women, it often leads to blood disorders and disturbances. If it is in the official position house, it brings about disputes and troubles; if it is in the seventh house, which is the wife's house, the couple is likely to part ways. This star moves逆行 in the sky, known as "Heaven's Head." Ji are the leftover energy of earth, and are the lesser aspect of "trust." It is cunning and skilled in speech, with two faces inside and outside, harboring divided intentions; its actions are unconventional, and its plans are inconsistent, achieving stability only in middle age; once stable, it harms the Six Relations, and mourning clothes are often seen. This star also movesretrograde in the sky, called "Heaven's Tail," exactly opposite to Rohu.

太陽為父在強宮，金水引從與吉星會主父，富貴在命宮吉在財帛，則父有財在兄弟則父失。力在田宅則父富，在男女則父平安得子，力在奴僕則父勞碌或為奴，在妻宮則主有好妻。在疾厄則主有疾，在遷移則父出外為商，在官祿則父有榮加吉星方可，在福德主父有福，在相貌則父平平。有貌已上宮分太陽，加臨金水拱夾得用，日生則父大吉喜金，相見大妙土計亦可。

The Sun represents the father. If it falls in a strong palace, with the planet Venus and Mercury preceding and following it, and meeting auspicious stars, it indicates that the father is strong and wealthy. The Sun in the native's palace is auspicious; in the wealth palace, the father has money; in the brothers palace, the father loses support; in the fields and houses palace, the father is wealthy; in the children palace, the father is safe and gains the support of children; in the servants palace, the father is laborious, even becoming a servant; in the wife palace, it indicates the ability to marry a good wife; in the illness and affliction palace, it indicates illness; in the migration palace, the father goes out to do business; in the official career palace, the father is honored, but this requires the presence of auspicious stars; in the fortune and virtue palace, the father has good fortune; in the appearance palace, the father has an average appearance. Among all these palaces, if the Sun is accompanied by the planets Venus and Mercury, forming a supportive aspect, it is very auspicious for a person born in the daytime. The most favorable situation is when Venus is present, which is excellent. The planet Saturn and Ji Du are also acceptable.

火入垣則可犯陽則不可忌木，氣掩光羅主剋剝，夜生人則輕。故曰：日從陽為吉，太陽無輔名曰：孤君男子不得祖業，女人外家必零落。臨生之時父不在家見養金，水在宮及拱夾者吉，三方得吉星方可太陽而作。煞主單行三方四正無沖，激則作吉如太陽既是煞又會煞引從作黨極凶，凡太陽忌煞夾若在一邊則好日月皆論中氣，次以月為母如上下弦是煞，論日月非中氣，則看田宅宮論父母。

The planet Mars entering its own mansion is acceptable, but if it conflicts with the Sun, it is not good; it is also disliked when the planet Jupiter or the star Zi Qi obscures its light. The planet Luo Hou indicates destruction and harm, but those born at night are less affected. Therefore, it is said that the Sun is auspicious when it follows the yang path. If the Sun does not have an assisting star, it is called 'solitary ruler'; a man will not inherit his ancestors' property, and a woman's family will certainly decline, especially if the father is not at home at birth and she is raised by others. If the planet Jin Xing or Shui Xing is in the same mansion or comes to support the Sun, it is auspicious; overall, the three surrounding areas should also have auspicious stars. If the Sun turns into a malevolent star, as long as it moves alone and there is no conflict in the three surrounding areas and four directions, it can still be considered auspicious. However, if the Sun itself is a malevolent star and is accompanied by other malevolent stars in front and behind, forming a group, it will be extremely凶. Generally, the Sun is disliked when it is surrounded by凶 stars on both sides; if it is only on one side, it is still acceptable. Both the Sun and the Moon should be considered in terms of the 'middle qi'; secondly, the Tai Yin is considered as the mother. If someone is born during the waxing or waning moon phase and the Tai Yin also turns into a malevolent star, then the Sun and Moon are not in the middle qi, and at this time, we should instead refer to the field of land and property to discuss the parents.

太陽在子宮化天宜主無成，夜吉在丑宮化天幽主清閒，在寅宮化天桑星大吉，在卯宮化天烏主聰明，在辰宮化天爽主顯達，在巳宮化幽微主乘旺，在午宮化少微樂宮，在未宮化天耀官遷，在申宮化天暗星作事更改，在酉宮化九空星無成，在戌宮化天樞入廟旺，在亥宮化玉璽星主聰明。

The Sun in the Zi palace transforms into "Heavenly Favor," indicating that affairs will not succeed, but it is beneficial if born at night; in the Chou palace it transforms into "Heavenly Seclusion," indicating a peaceful and idle state; in the Yin palace it transforms into "Heavenly Mulberry," which is very auspicious; in the Mao palace it transforms into "Heavenly Crow," indicating intelligence; in the Chen palace it transforms into "Heavenly Brightness," indicating success and prominence; in the Si palace it transforms into "Subtle and Hidden," indicating gaining power and influence; in the Wu palace it transforms into "Lesser Constellation," which is its palace of comfort and ease; in the Wei palace it transforms into "Heavenly Radiance," indicating promotion in official position; in the Shen palace it transforms into "Heavenly Darkness," indicating that affairs will be repeatedly changed; in the You palace it transforms into "Nine Voids," indicating that nothing will be accomplished; in the Xu palace it transforms into "Heavenly Pivot," indicating that it is in its temple and strong; in the Hai palace it transforms into "Jade Seal," indicating intelligence.

太陰為母入強宮得經得所與吉星相會則母有力，失經失所凶星會則克母。入命宮吉入財帛有財入，兄弟有情。吉入田宅則主母家有田宅，入男女先女後男，吉入奴僕主勞碌起家必庶母生，不然末胎入妻，宮主因親得妻入疾厄有權有疾，母災多病。入遷移則平平，主過房出祖入官祿則貴益盛，入福德則平生有福入，相貌則母貌美。

The Moon represents the mother. If it enters a strong palace, is in a proper position, and meets auspicious stars, it indicates the mother is strong and influential. However, if it loses its proper time, is misplaced, and meets inauspicious stars, it indicates the mother may suffer misfortune. If the Moon enters the命宫 (Destiny Palace), it is auspicious. If it enters the财帛宫 (Wealth Palace), there will be wealth. If it enters the兄弟宫 (Brothers Palace), brothers will be harmonious. If it enters the田宅宫 (Household Palace), the mother's family will have land. If it enters the男女宫 (Children Palace), the first child will be a daughter, followed by a son. If it enters the奴仆宫 (Servants Palace), the person will have to work hard to establish a livelihood; this person is likely born to a concubine or is the last child. If it enters the妻宫 (Spouse Palace), the spouse will be obtained through family connections. If it enters the疾厄宫 (Illness Palace), the person may have authority but will be sickly, and the mother will also suffer from illness. If it enters the迁移宫 (Migration Palace), the outcome is average, indicating the person may be adopted by another family or leave the family's ancestral property. If it enters the官禄宫 (Official Palace), the person will have increasing prestige. If it enters theFortune Virtue宫 (Fortune Virtue Palace), the person will have good fortune throughout life. If it enters the相貌宫 (Appearance Palace), the mother will have a beautiful appearance.

坐咸池則母淫，主有外心煞並凶忌見土計最凶，火羅稍凶，夜生猶可金水木相隨則吉，夜生人最佳，月向中旬生者有力，下旬生者無力。凡男女命太陰皆愛清貴及落在吉，宮者妙。太陰在子化天姬夜吉，在丑化天機榮貴，在寅化天昧禍害，在卯化天琮喜宮，在辰化天璇官顯，在巳化玉鹿顯達，在午化天衣享福，在未化天圭旺喜，在申化天潢主富貴，在酉化天柱，在戌化天輔，在亥化天？。

The Moon is seated in Xianchi, indicating the mother is promiscuous and has other intentions, and if malevolent stars are present, it becomes even more ominous. The Moon most dislikes encountering the Earth Star and Ji Du, which are the most harmful; the Fire Star and Luo Hou are somewhat harmful, but those born at night are still acceptable. If the Gold Star, Water Star, and Wood Star accompany it, it is auspicious, and those born at night are the best. If the Moon is born in the middle period of the month, it is strong, but if born in the latter period, it is weak. For both male and female destinies, the Moon prefers clarity and elegance, and it is best when it is in a favorable palace. When the Moon is in the Zi palace, it becomes "Tian Ji", which is auspicious for those born at night; in the Chou palace, it becomes "Tian Ji", indicating honor and wealth; in the Yin palace, it becomes "Tian Mei", indicating misfortune; in the Mao palace, it becomes "Tian Cong", which is its favorable palace; in the Chen palace, it becomes "Tian Xuan", indicating official success; in the Si palace, it becomes "Yu Lu", indicating prominence; in the Wu palace, it becomes "Tian Yi", indicating enjoyment of happiness; in the Wei palace, it becomes "Tian Gui", indicating prosperity and joy; in the Shen palace, it becomes "Tian Huang", indicating wealth and honor; in the You palace, it becomes "Tian Zhu"; in the Xu palace, it becomes "Tian Fu". As for the name it takes in the Hai palace, the original text is missing one character here.

木星喜春令宜見水孛生之，寅亥二宮吉未宮亦吉也。巳申二宮受生吉為人清秀善惡，考之凡木在卯宮多利忌見金火，秋冬皆失。令加諸煞即凶與太陽交會吉必克父，卯戌二宮洩氣平平，見土計子丑二宮怒見氣則餘奴犯主反孤。木星居丑化天蔭寅，化天淵卯，化太微辰，化玉龍巳，化天福午，化天德未，化玉班申，化天鸞亥，化中臺俱吉。

Jupiter is favorable in the spring season and benefits from the presence of the Water Star and the Moon孛. It is auspicious when located in the Yin or Hai mansions, and also favorable in the Wei mansion. When Jupiter is born in the Si or Shen mansions, it is also auspicious, indicating a refined and elegant nature. However, its overall good or bad nature still requires further examination. Generally, Jupiter is beneficial in the Mao mansion, but it is unfavorable to see the Metal Star or Fire Star. In autumn and winter, Jupiter is considered to be out of its season, and if accompanied by various malevolent stars, it becomes harmful. Jupiter meeting the Sun Star is originally auspicious, but it inevitably harms the father. When Jupiter is in the Mao or Xu mansions, it is said to be draining its energy and thus mediocre. If Jupiter appears with the Earth Star or the Ji Star in the Zi or Chou mansions, it becomes angry. If Jupiter meets the Zi Qi, it is like a servant offending the master, leading to loneliness. When Jupiter is in the Chou mansion, it transforms into "Heavenly荫", in the Yin mansion into "Heavenly渊", in the Mao mansion into "Tai Wei", in the Chen mansion into "Yu Long", in the Si mansion into "Heavenly福", in the Wu mansion into "Heavenly德", in the Wei mansion into "Yu Ban", in the Shen mansion into "Heavenly鸾", and in the Hai mansion into "Zhong Tai", all of which are auspicious.

火星喜見木氣相生又不喜重見，從陰則喜犯陽則凶，夏令吉獨行有權。卯戌二宮吉申巳宮樂寅宮，吉巳宮躔軫則受制躔翼，則朱雀乘風，夜生反吉。有光明忌見水孛凶，冬令不吉，加羅大凶日生忌犯陽。夜生則可躔辰酉火入金鄉，則早拋兄弟子丑宮洩氣見金則怒。火星丑化黃道寅，化天升卯，化天乙午，化天赫申，化喜神戌，化天軌亥，化天纛俱吉餘宮凶。

The planet Mars is pleased to meet Jupiter and the Purple Qi, and they mutually generate each other, but it does not like them to appear repeatedly. It is happy when it follows the Yellow Path, but it is ominous when it confronts the Sun. It is auspicious in summer, and when it moves alone it has authority. Mars is auspicious in the卯 and 戌 mansions, finds its joy in the申 and 巳 mansions, and is also auspicious in the寅 mansion. If Mars is in the巳 mansion and is located in the Chariot mansion, it is restricted; if it is located in the Wings mansion, it becomes "the Vermilion Bird riding the wind," which is auspicious for those born at night, and it is strong and powerful. Mars dislikes meeting the Water planet and the Moon孛, and if they meet, it is ominous; it is not auspicious in winter, and if combined with Rahu, it is extremely ominous. Those born in the daytime should avoid Mars confronting the Sun, but those born at night are not affected. If Mars is in the辰 or 酉 mansions, it is fire entering the metal mansion, indicating the loss of brothers in early years; if it is in the子 or 丑 mansions, it is losing its strength, and if it meets the Venus planet, it becomes angry. When Mars is in the丑 mansion, it becomes the Yellow Path; in the寅 mansion, it becomes the Heavenly Ascension; in the卯 mansion, it becomes the Heavenly Ethical Principle; in the午 mansion, it becomes the Heavenly Majesty; in the申 mansion, it becomes the Joyful Deity; in the戌 mansion, it becomes the Heavenly Track; and in the亥 mansion, it becomes the Heavenly Banner. All of these are auspicious; other mansions are ominous.

土星喜火羅相生亦不宜重見，重見則太驟一發。反見禍子丑二宮吉，卯戌二宮吉，辰戌丑未月得令從太陽少吉，日生更吉，忌見木氣相剋加計則凶忌。與太陰相見入寅申巳亥，宮凶辰酉宮脫氣，未宮曰：三坵見水則怒。土居子化天亢寅，化貴人卯，化天沖辰，化太極午，化天道未，化四鎮申，化福生戌，化天關俱吉餘不利。

Saturn benefits from Mars and Rahu coming to assist it, but it is not suitable for them to appear repeatedly; repetition brings too sudden an occurrence, and after one occurrence, misfortune is seen. Saturn is auspicious in the Zi and Chou houses, and also auspicious in the Mao and Xu houses; when it is born in the months of Chen, Xu, Chou, and Wei, it is in its proper season, and it is slightly auspicious when accompanied by the Sun, and even more auspicious if born during the day. It dislikes seeing Jupiter and Zi Qi to overcome it, and if combined with Ji Du, it becomes凶; it also dislikes meeting with Tai Yin. Saturn in the Yin, Shen, Si, and Hai houses is凶, and in the Chen and You houses it loses its strength; in the Wei house it is called 'San Qiu', and if it meets with the Water Star, it becomes angry. Saturn in the Zi house becomes 'Tian Kang', in the Yin house becomes 'Gu Ren', in the Mao house becomes 'Tian Chong', in the Chen house becomes 'Tai Ji', in the Wu house becomes 'Tian Dao', in the Wei house becomes 'Si Zhen', in the Shen house becomes 'Fu Sheng', and in the Xu house becomes 'Tian Guan', all of which are auspicious; other houses are not favorable.

金星喜土計生之從陰陽皆吉秋得令，辰酉宮吉未宮亦吉，子丑宮受生見火羅凶。卯戌午三宮凶，又金乘火位其人少失尊親，巳申宮洩氣平平，見孛同宮則為花酒之客，夏令無力寅亥宮及，見木氣則怒矣。金在子化玉輅丑，化天庫辰，化太常巳，化天祿午，化天暘未，化天倉申，化玉堂酉，化天印亥，化天壽俱吉。

The planet of Metal is happy when the planet of Earth and Ji Du are born to support it. It is auspicious when it follows the path of Yin and Yang. It is favorable when it meets the season of autumn. The planet of Metal is favorable in the palace of Chen and You, and also in the palace of Wei. When it is born in the palace of Zi and Chou, it is unfavorable if it meets the planet of Fire and Luo Hou. The planet of Metal is unfavorable in the palace of Mao, Xu, and Wu, because Metal is riding on the position of Fire, which indicates that the person will lose their elders at a young age. When it is in the palace of Si and Shen, it is mediocre because it is losing its strength. If it is in the same palace as the Moon孛, the person becomes a man who indulges in pleasures and drinks alcohol. In summer, the planet of Metal is weak. When it is in the palace of Yin or Hai, or when it meets the planet of Wood and Zi Qi, it becomes angry. When the planet of Metal is in the palace of Zi, it becomes 'Yu Lu'; in Chou, it becomes 'Tian Ku'; in Chen, it becomes 'Tai Chang'; in Si, it becomes 'Tian Lu'; in Wu, it becomes 'Tian Yang'; in Wei, it becomes 'Tian Cang'; in Shen, it becomes 'Yu Tang'; in You, it becomes 'Tian Yin'; in Hai, it becomes 'Tian Shou', all of which are favorable.

水星喜金相生，巳申宮吉。冬令吉，從日月吉，未子宮吉，亥宮稍吉，土計凶見孛則餘奴犯主加煞，非夭則刑丑宮少凶。卯戌上怒見陽，不妨寅宮脫氣。水居子化玉池丑，化晨門寅，化天懿辰，化琴堂巳，化榮星午，化天溫未，化天乙申，化顯星亥，化天綬吉。

Water star prefers the presence of metal star for mutual generation, and it is auspicious in the Si and Shen mansions; it is favorable in winter, and also favorable when accompanied by the sun and moon; it is favorable in the Wei and Zi mansions, and slightly favorable in the Hai mansion. If it meets the earth star or Ji Du, it becomes inauspicious; encountering Yue Bo is like a servant who offends the master, and if combined with evil stars, it results in either a short life or injuries; it is slightly inauspicious in the Chou mansion. Water star becomes angry in the Mao and Xu mansions, but encountering the sun is not a problem; it loses its strength in the Yin mansion. When water star is in the Zi mansion, it transforms into 'Yu Chi'; in the Chou mansion, it becomes 'Chen Men'; in the Yin mansion, it becomes 'Tian Yi'; in the Chen mansion, it becomes 'Qin Tang'; in the Si mansion, it becomes 'Rong Xing'; in the Wu mansion, it becomes 'Tian Wen'; in the Wei mansion, it becomes 'Tian Yi'; in the Shen mansion, it becomes 'Xian Xing'; and in the Hai mansion, it becomes 'Tian Shou', all of which are favorable.

氣星主慈善出家好道坐命及三方對沖見之必孤妻子，難為行限及三方對照見之，此限必好慈善。出家清修過，此又改矣。犯太陰為人晦滯近太陽則掩光，遇劍鋒恐受傷，如對照先須有妻，年老亦孤居。子丑則怒，寅亥為奴，犯主不吉，卯戌則有生成之意。居辰酉則衰，居巳申受生，吉居午凶加煞克命，度大凶。氣居子化玉清丑，化天元寅，化天飭辰，化華蓋巳，化天相午，化玉肌未，化天廩申，化紫微酉，化鳳凰戌，化玉貫亥，化天貴俱吉。

Purple Qi signifies benevolence and a tendency towards monastic life; if it is located in the命宫 or comes from the three surrounding directions, the person will certainly have a lonely wife and find little support from the Six Relations. When Purple Qi appears in the current period or from the three surrounding directions, during that period the person will definitely engage in charitable activities and pursue a life of purity and cultivation; after that period, this condition will change. If Purple Qi conflicts with Taiyin, it indicates stagnation and obscurity; if it is near the Sun, it may obscure the sunlight; if it meets Jianfeng, there is a risk of injury. If Purple Qi only shines from the opposite palace, the person may still have a wife in early years but will still live alone in old age. Purple Qi in the Zi and Chou palaces indicates anger; in the Yin and Hai palaces, it is like a servant offending the master, which is not auspicious; in the Mao and Xu palaces, it indicates generation and nurturing, which is favorable; in the Chen and You palaces, it is weak; in the Si and Shen palaces, it is beneficial; in the Wu palace, it is unfavorable; if there are additionalInauspicious Sha stars that harm the命度, it becomes extremely unfavorable. When Purple Qi is in the Zi palace, it transforms into Yuqing; in the Chou palace, it becomes Tianyuan; in the Yin palace, it becomes Tianchi; in the Chen palace, it becomes Huagai; in the Si palace, it becomes Tianxiang; in the Wu palace, it becomes Yujī; in the Wei palace, it becomes Tianlin; in the Shen palace, it becomes Ziwēi; in the You palace, it becomes Fenghuang; in the Xu palace, it becomes Yuguàn; in the Hai palace, it becomes TianGui; all of these are favorable.

孛星居命詭怪萬端權謀百變，有剋剝無禮制居子少吉，居丑凶加煞克命度大凶，居寅尾火凶，居亥朝天，居卯未皆吉，居午大凶，居戌凶主流落。奎度反吉，辰酉平平。巳申為奴犯主女，命遇孛當頭剋夫，害子孤淫是非，單行生度吉，剝雜克度主凶。孛星居丑化天柔，居寅化天后，卯化玉垣，午化玉氣，未化太乙，亥化天聰，主吉餘宮不利。

Those with the Moon孛 in their destiny are cunning and changeable, using many strategies and schemes. They have a nature of destruction and lack moral restraint. When the Moon孛 is in the position of the Rat, it is slightly favorable; in the Ox position, it is unfavorable, and if combined with harmful stars that attack the destiny degree, it becomes very dangerous. If it is in the position of the Tiger and is in the degree of the Tail Fire Tiger, it is also unfavorable. If it is in the position of the Pig, it is called "Facing Heaven." If it is in the position of the Rabbit or the Goat, it is favorable. If it is in the position of the Horse, it is extremely unfavorable. If it is in the position of the Dog, it is unfavorable, and the person tends to be away from their homeland. However, if it is in the Legs Mansion degree, it becomes favorable. In the Dragon and the Rooster positions, it is average. In the Snake and the Monkey positions, it is like a servant offending the master. For women, if the Moon孛 is directly in their destiny, it indicates harm to their husband and children, loneliness, immorality, and being involved in many disputes.

羅星守命為人性急燥，暴居子午曰中分。吉居巳申受制小吉，居子丑為生本宮土命遇之為餘氣，生命忌克牛金凶敗，夜生得用辰酉。宮則怒居未，主剋剝生災官事卯戌為奴犯主，位立命於，此不吉。行限遇惡星相生則為富不仁，相剋則凶會金，加飛廉則犯干戈及暴死，會劍鋒非惡死而傷殘矣。羅在丑化赤道，卯化天權，酉化天文，亥化文昌俱吉。

People with the planet Luo Hui (Rahu) as their ruler are impetuous and fierce in nature. When Luo Hui is in the Zi or Wu palace, it is called 'Zhong Fen' and is considered auspicious. When it is in the Si or Shen palace, it is minor auspicious. When it is in the Zi or Chou palace, Luo Hui generates the native's native earth, which is beneficial for those whose native element is earth, but it is unfavorable if Luo Hui controls the 'Niu Jin Niu' (the Ox Gold Ox), which leads to misfortune. Those born at night may still be acceptable. When Luo Hui is in the Chen or You palace, it becomes angry; in the Wei palace, it causes destruction and misfortune, leading to legal troubles. In the Mao or Xu palace, it is like a servant offending the master, making the native's palace location in these positions inauspicious. If Luo Hui appears in the native's life span and combines with evil stars, the person becomes wealthy but unkind. If it is controlled by evil stars, it brings misfortune. If Luo Hui joins the golden star and 'Fei Lian', it leads to death by war; if it joins 'Jian Feng', it results in death or injury. When Luo Hui is in the Chou palace, it transforms into 'Chi Dao'; in the Mao palace, into 'Tian Quan'; in the You palace, into 'Tian Wen'; and in the Hai palace, into 'Wen Chang', all of which are auspicious.

計星居丑躔斗名曰朝斗，必貴只宜獨行。居子為頑土須用木氣制之，方可或相沖照或三方相制亦可。入寅遇金則吉入亥平，平卯戌獨行，吉巳申則怒，未上凶午上平，吉會劍鋒必傷殘及惡血死。計星居丑化四喜，寅化天淵，卯化玉柄，已化天水，午化天巋，亥化天武，俱吉別宮不利。

The celestial body Ji Du resides in the Chou mansion and is located in the Dipper mansion, called "Chao Dou," which certainly indicates great prestige, but it is only favorable when it moves alone. When Ji Du resides in the Zi mansion, it becomes stubborn earth, which must be restrained by the Jupiter or the Purple Qi, or it can be counteracted by opposition from the opposite mansion or by the three directions. When Ji Du resides in the Yin mansion and meets the Venus, it is auspicious; when it resides in the Hai mansion, it is average; when it resides in the Mao or Xu mansion and moves alone, it is favorable; when it resides in the Si or Shen mansion, it causes anger; when it resides in the Wei mansion, it is inauspicious; when it resides in the Wu mansion, it is average but slightly favorable. If Ji Du meets the "Jian Feng" (Sword Edge), it will certainly cause injury or even death by bleeding. When Ji Du resides in the Chou mansion, it transforms into "Si Xi" (Four Joys); when it resides in the Yin mansion, it transforms into "Tian Yuan" (Heavenly Depth); when it resides in the Mao mansion, it transforms into "Yu Bing" (Jade Handle); when it resides in the Si mansion, it transforms into "Tian Shui" (Heavenly Water); when it resides in the Wu mansion, it transforms into "Tian Kui" (Heavenly Steadfast); when it resides in the Hai mansion, it transforms into "Tian Wu" (Heavenly Martial), all of which are favorable; other mansions are unfavorable.
