火命宮:火照命宮中心明,氣量洪倚公成,附勢煩劇立身躬,財利初年散,成家未及終,若能行順旺,權重祿財豐。火在命宮,主人躁急,限到。又曰:身命宮中遇火星,此人躁急性聰明,平生喜怒真難測,凡事須教立便成。

The presence of the Mars star in the命宫 indicates that such a person has a clear mind and a broad-minded nature, relying on fairness to accomplish things. They tend to associate with power and thrive in busy and complex situations. In early years, their wealth and resources are easily lost, and establishing a family and career is not straightforward. However, if they reach a period of prosperity and strength, their authority will increase, and their salary and wealth will be abundant. Having fire in the命宫 suggests a quick-tempered personality, and results are often seen quickly when the right period arrives. Another view suggests that if Mars appears in the身宫 or命宫, the person is impetuous yet intelligent, with unpredictable emotions. They are impatient and insist on immediate results for everything.

火財帛:火居財帛旺初年,中主交時恐不堅。若得善星同到此,末年退後又團圓。有吉扶限平穩。火兄弟:火臨兄弟事如何,爭競紛紛惹禍多。親戚有恩還反目,自然手足不相和。主兄弟兇狠。

The star Mars shining on the Wealth Palace indicates that in the early years, the fortune in wealth is prosperous, but when entering the middle period of the fortune, there is a fear that it may not be firmly maintained. If there is a good star accompanying it, by the later years, after the decline, the family business can be restored and become complete again. With the assistance of auspicious stars, the fortune period will proceed smoothly. The star Mars shining on the Brothers Palace indicates that when Mars is located in the position of Brothers, there will be frequent disputes among brothers, leading to many troubles. Even relatives who originally had mutual affection may turn against each other, making it difficult for siblings to maintain harmony. This pattern indicates that the brothers have fierce temperaments.

火田宅:火宿加臨第四宮,祖基破盡受貧窮。若是廟方當發福,不然孤苦一生中。主不受祖業火性炎上之勢、久成灰燼。火男女:火若來臨第五宮,此星刑剋最為凶。假饒嗣主居廟旺,必產奇男一二龍。火在男女宮,火數二、主生二子。

The star of Mars shining on the field and dwelling宫: When Mars is placed on the fourth宫, which represents the family's ancestral property, it indicates that the ancestral foundation will be ruined and the person will suffer poverty. If Mars is in its favorable position, it may bring fortune; otherwise, the person will live a lonely and unfortunate life. This is because fire is upwardly fierce, though its power is strong, it will eventually burn out and turn to ashes, so the person will not inherit the ancestral property. The star of Mars shining on the sons and daughters宫: When Mars is placed on the fifth宫, which represents sons and daughters, the star's destructive power is particularly severe. If the main star in the sons and daughters宫 is in a favorable position, it may still produce one or two outstanding sons. Since fire in the sons and daughters宫 has the number two, it indicates the birth of two sons.

火奴僕:六位如逢火宿來,害刑牛馬定多災。屯殃變異起奴僕,得地專權自劇裁。主奴僕性高,則有欺主之故。火妻妾:火入妻宮定克妻,高強非忌作珍奇。女人以火為夫位,禍福同源一例推。男以金為妻,女以火為夫。

The star of Mars shining on the servant宫: If the sixth宫 encounters the star of Mars, it indicates punishment and harm to cattle and horses, and there will certainly be much misfortune. Disasters and troubles will arise from the servants; if the star of Mars is in a favorable position, the servants will seize power, make decisions on their own, and act independently. This is because servants are naturally arrogant, leading to the danger of bullying their masters. The star of Mars shining on the wife and concubine宫: When the star of Mars enters the wife宫, it is certain to harm the wife. Unless the star of Mars is strong and in a favorable position, and the native's birth chart does not regard it as an inauspicious factor, it may instead form a rare and valuable pattern. For female natives, fire represents the husband's star position, so both fortune and misfortune originate from the same source, and this can be used as a reference for similar deductions. For male natives, the star of Tai Bai (metal) represents the wife's star, while for female natives, fire represents the husband's star.

火疾厄:火星八位憂血難,災來非命禍難禁。腰駝背曲缺唇齒,惡殺不臨厄減輕。若無煞星同宮,其禍略可。火遷移:火星照位入遷移,遷變東西土產移。家舍亦須防火厄,末年有屋可安居。主不安,謂火旺動搖。

The star Mars shining on the Health and Illness宫 indicates that Mars is located in the Eighth House, causing concern about blood-related accidents. When misfortune occurs, it is often a sudden and severe calamity that is difficult to prevent. This suggests curvature of the waist and back, and defects in the lips and teeth. If no evil stars are present, the misfortune can be somewhat mitigated. If there are no malevolent stars in the same house, the hardship is generally bearable. The star Mars shining on the Migration宫 indicates that Mars is located in the Migration House, suggesting frequent movement from one place to another, and changes in land and property. The family home should also be cautious of fire-related disasters. It is only in later years that a house for stable residence can be obtained. This pattern indicates instability in residence, as fire signifies movement and instability.

火官祿:火星凶焰入官宮,仕列銓曹少始終。若是變為官祿主,會看附鳳與扳龍。官祿為強宮,故火附其勢。火福德:熒惑來臨福德宮,夜生廟旺福豐隆。若值晝生逢水克,定須破敗受貧窮。火夜則明,惟夜生人主福。火相貌:火居相貌性剛強,惹禍興災果異常。若得吉神為救助,逢人禮貌把名彰。主人形上尖下闊,以禮待人。

The planet Mars shining on the official position宫: Mars, carrying its fierce flame into the official position宫, indicates that although one may be appointed to an official position through examination and assessment, there is little chance of a successful and enduring career. If Mars becomes the ruler of the official position宫, then one must consider whether it can associate with powerful figures and gain favor through connections. The official position宫 is originally a strong position, so Mars here gains strength from it. The planet Mars shining on the virtue and fortune宫: The planet Mars (Flame Star) appears in the virtue and fortune宫. If one is born at night and Mars is in a strong position, then fortune and virtue will be abundant. However, if one is born during the day and encounters water to restrain Mars, there will be a decline of family fortune and suffering from poverty. Fire is bright only at night, so only those born at night will gain fortune. The planet Mars shining on the appearance宫: Mars residing in the twelfth house of appearance indicates a person with a strong and fierce nature, who brings about misfortune and calamity in an extraordinary manner. If fortunate deities come to assist, this person will behave politely and properly in social interactions, and their reputation will become prominent. This configuration indicates a person with a sharp upper part and a broad lower part, capable of treating others with courtesy.

The Calculation of the Planet of Restraint: The Section on Saturn

置積日減二百六十四,以三百七十八日九分二十三秒為伏見,留退一終之數除之,又下太陽中定星內加一周天,以餘日數去之。晨伏:二十一日七十五分。順:八十三日行七度十一分。留:二十三日不行。晨退:五十一日二十九分六十一秒半,行三度四十二分五十四秒半。夕退留:三十日不行。順行:八十三日。夕伏:二十二日七十五分,又與日合。

The method for calculating the movement of the planet 'Zhen Xing' (Saturn): first subtract 264 days from the total accumulated days, then use 378 days and 23 seconds as the number of days required for one complete cycle of occultation, visibility, stationary position, and retrograde motion. Divide the total accumulated days by this number. Then add a full circle of degrees to the degree of the Sun's position, and subtract the remainder from this total to obtain the desired result. The segments of movement are as follows: the morning occultation phase lasts 21 days and 75 minutes; the direct motion phase lasts 83 days and covers 7 degrees and 11 minutes; the stationary phase lasts 23 days with no movement; the morning retrograde phase lasts 51 days, 29 minutes, and 61 seconds, covering 3 degrees, 42 minutes, and 54 seconds; the stationary phase after the evening retrograde lasts 30 days with no movement; the direct motion phase lasts 83 days; and the evening occultation phase lasts 22 days and 75 minutes, at which point it reappears to meet the Sun.

The general discussion on the planet Zhèn Xīng (the planet of stability and control).

土星,中央鎮星,女星之象。行度有晨夕、伏退留順疾遲,在磨羯為本宮。自斗宿十度至二十一度為正廟,躔氐、女、胃、柳四宿為升殿,寶瓶宮危宿為樂,天秤宮亢宿四度至七度為旺,生時遇之主有重權。

Saturn occupies the central position and is called "Zhen Star" by astronomers, symbolizing a female star. Its movement is distinguished by appearing in the morning or in the evening, and it also has different phases such as being hidden, retreating, stationary, moving forward, or moving at varying speeds, either fast or slow. Capricorn is its native palace. From the tenth degree to the twenty-first degree of the Dipper mansion, it is in its "Zhen Temple" position; when it is in the constellations of Ji, Nu, Wei, and Liu, it is called "Sheng Dian"; when it reaches the four to seven degrees of the Kangle mansion in the constellation of Aquarius, it is called "Le"; and when it is in the Kangle mansion between four to seven degrees of the constellation of Libra, it is its "Wang" position. If a person is born during these positions, they are likely to hold great power.

若日生人身命二宮值之,更在陽宮,主性厚重,為賢德君子,職清品貴;七宮遇之尤吉,忌計、羅、火、孛同宮。夜生人為忌曜,六庚生人為囚星,六戊生人為天祿。此星又名地羅?。入伏為瘟星,入逆為破家星,在土宮為奸星,其行最遲,二十八年一周天。

If someone is born during the day and their body palace and destiny palace are occupied by the planet of Earth, and it is located in a yang palace, this person will have a kind and steady nature, being a virtuous gentleman. They will hold an important and clean official position with high rank. If the seventh palace is also occupied by this planet, it is especially auspicious. However, it is most inauspicious if it shares the palace with 'Ji Du', 'Luo Hou', 'Ying Huo', and 'Yue Bo'. For those born at night, the planet of Earth is considered an inauspicious star. Those born in the sixth year of 'Geng' consider this planet as a captive star, while those born in the sixth year of 'Wu' consider it as the heavenly禄 (favor). This planet is also known as 'Di Luo'. When it enters the伏段 (hidden period), it is called 'Wen Xing' (epidemic star). When it enters retrograde motion, it is called 'Po Jia Xing' (star of breaking the family). If it is located in the earth palace, it is called 'Jian Xing' (star of treachery). Its movement is the slowest, taking twenty-eight years to complete a full circle.

The song of the planet Zhèn Xīng, the source and essence song.

鎮宿本生戊己位,安靜為尊象,厚地晝生惟愛。在陽宮相貌之宮,主大鼻,少言語,多慳細,硬直心腸有膽氣。順行度分廟宮中,土地旌旗必雄貴,掌握貲財有福人,只怕夜生反為忌。

"Zhenxing" originates from the central position of Wu and Ji, and is esteemed for its quiet and steady nature, symbolizing the thick virtue and capacity to carry things of the earth. It is most favorable for those born during the day. If the Earth Star is in a yang palace and falls in the palace of appearance, it indicates a person with a high and prominent nose, speaking little, being stingy and meticulous in thought, having a stiff heart yet possessing courage. When the Earth Star moves smoothly and is located in its exaltation palace, it signifies control over land and banners, ensuring strength and honor, making the person wealthy and fortunate. However, it is feared if the person is born at night, as the Earth Star then becomes an inauspicious star.

留與逆,尢可畏,刑剋陰宮身更瘁,不招祖業與貲財,四體多從苦憔悴。居官惡處立其身,博弄操刀能幹利。夜生人與日會,克了賢尊難躲避。太陰母位不堅牢,若在下弦目障翳。

Saturn's movement through the stationary phase and retrograde motion is particularly ominous. It harms the Yin palace, indicating the person's body becomes more emaciated, unable to inherit property or wealth from ancestors. The limbs and body suffer from exhaustion and become thin. If one holds an official position, they can only be stationed in poor duties or engage in occupations such as butchering, cutting tools, or trading for profit. For those born at night, if Saturn joins with the Sun, it harms the father, a superior elder, and is difficult to avoid. If Saturn is in the position of the Moon, representing the mother, the mother's foundation becomes unstable. If the Moon is also in the waning phase, it indicates eye diseases or cloudiness.

木來必定主文章,火會遠行千里餘,金若來妻早棄,水星忌與刑同類。若逢紫氣懶慵人,孛對雙盲難看視,首同陰位法場終,尾會腰駝並背曲。臨財應有外鄉財,三位徒流為昆季。

If Saturn is joined by Jupiter, it indicates success in literary endeavors. If it meets with Mars, it signifies a journey far away. If it meets with Venus, it indicates the wife leaving early. As for Mercury, it is most unfavorable when it joins with astrological afflictions. If Saturn meets with the Purple Star, it indicates laziness and indolence. If it opposes the Moon's Shadow, it indicates loss of sight and difficulty in seeing. If it shares the dark position with the Head of Heaven, which is Rahu, it indicates death by execution. If it meets with the Tail of Heaven, which is Ketu, it indicates a hunched back. If Saturn is in the position of wealth, it indicates receiving wealth from outside the hometown. If it is in the position of the third brother, it indicates the brother being exiled or relocated.

田宅宮家易退,子息雖多不成器,居奴僕引盜來偷,西沒主妻先作祟。疾厄宮傷脾胃,癰?風邪堪驚悸,遷移作客盜賊侵,官祿重重主官事。福宮晝見相貌位,自是英雄多膽志。須知此訣不尋常,後學得之莫道易。尾謂羅星,首謂計星,西沒者妻宮也。

Saturn in the field and home宫 indicates the family business tends to decline; in the children宫, although there are many children, they are not capable; in the servants宫, servants may attract thieves to steal. If Saturn sets west in the wife宫, calamity will arise from the wife's side first. If Saturn is in the illness and disease宫, it indicates damage to the spleen and stomach, and also a risk of boils and wind diseases, often accompanied by feelings of fear and anxiety. If Saturn is in the migration宫, it suggests that one who resides away from home may be disturbed by thieves. If Saturn is in the official position宫, there will be continuous legal troubles. If Saturn is in the fortune and virtue宫 or the appearance position, and one is born during the day and sees it, it is a sign of a heroic figure with extraordinary courage and ambition. One must understand that this verse is not ordinary; those who learn it later should not consider it easy. In the song, "tail" refers to Luo star, "head" refers to Ji star, and "west setting" refers to the wife宫.

The conjunction of the planet Zhèn Xīng and the star Yù Sī occurs along the meridian.

土金:土星若也會金星,妻妾榮華福祿真。一躍龍門能變化,九州島人物更多能。土與金會能生金,男以金為妻,故云妻妾之榮。土水:土星若與水星同,舉世孤高膽志雄。秉節揮戈文武備,福臨百六慶無窮。土有止水之功。

Saturn and Venus conjunct: When Saturn (the Earthly Star) meets Venus (the Bright Star), it indicates honor and prosperity for the wife or concubine, and real and genuine blessings and good fortune. This person is like a carp leaping over the Dragon Gate, capable of a great transformation, and is exceptionally talented among people in all the nine provinces. The conjunction of Earth and Metal produces Metal, and for a man, Metal represents the wife star, hence it signifies the honor of the wife or concubine. Saturn and Mercury conjunct: When Saturn meets Mercury (the Morning Star), it indicates that this person stands out in the world as lofty and solitary, with great courage, insight, and ambition. He can hold a banner and lead an army, wield a halberd and fight in battle, being both skilled in literature and martial arts. Good fortune comes within the limit of a hundred and six, with endless joy. This is because Earth can prevent water from overflowing.

土氣:土星紫氣喜相依,冠冕榮身職位巍。丹赤忠心剛且毅,德施萬里足光輝。土孛:鎮星不要會攙搶,百六逢之禍害長。僻疾怪形須至孽,慵奴群小疾生殃。

Saturn and Purple Qi meet: "Saturn" and "Purple Qi" are most auspicious when they are close to each other, indicating a person who wears a crown, receives honor and favor, and holds a high and noble position. This person is loyal-hearted, strong-willed and resolute, with virtue extending over thousands of miles and a brilliant radiance. Saturn and Moon孛 meet: "Saturn" is not suitable to meet with "Moon孛" which is also called "Moon抢". If this occurs within the limit of 100 and 60, it brings long-lasting misfortune. It signifies the occurrence of strange and unusual diseases, physical deformities, all caused by karmic obstacles; the lazy servants and petty people in the family may also bring about illness and calamity.

土羅:土星專惡會羅?,百六天災大可愁。人遇一生多困苦,瘟?病染坐亡囚。土計:土宿計都不可逢,人生淺薄更顓蒙。誅徒溺水兼癰患,百六天災萬種凶。

Saturn conjuncting Rahu: "Saturn" strongly dislikes meeting with "Rahu," and if they meet within the limit of 100 and 60, calamities from heaven will descend, causing great worry. A person encountering this configuration will have many difficulties and hardships throughout their life, may contract epidemic diseases, or be imprisoned and die in prison. Saturn conjuncting Ketu: "Saturn" is not favorable to meet with "Ketu," which indicates that this person will have little fortune in life and be dull and ignorant. They should also beware of being executed, exiled, drowning, or suffering from abscesses; if this occurs within the limit of 100 and 60, heaven-sent disasters will arrive, bringing all sorts of dangers.

The star of subjugation enters the palace, the essential verse of the pivot.

土子:土居齊分號天元,壽筭綿長福祿全。第七宮中如值此,榮妻益子福綿綿。子宮土之樂。土丑:土到丑宮名印綬,珍珠財寶多般有。此宮廟旺最為佳,縱是夜生為福壽。土之本位得為滿、用豈不福。

Saturn entering the Earthly Branch Zi (Rat): Saturn resides in the Zi (Rat) position, which is known as "Tian Yuan," indicating a long lifespan and complete blessings and official rank. If the seventh house encounters this configuration, it signifies a prominent wife, increased offspring, and continuous good fortune. The Zi position is a "Joy" place for Saturn. Saturn entering the Earthly Branch Chou (Ox): Saturn moves to the Chou (Ox) position, known as "Yin Shou," indicating possession of all kinds of treasures and wealth. This position is the most favorable for Saturn, being its strong and flourishing place; even if one is born at night, it still brings blessings and longevity. The Chou position is the original position of Earth, and it also achieves the "full use" configuration, so how could it not bring blessings.

土寅:土入寅宮曰貴人,此宮不喜木相親。只愁變作刑囚耗,晚主多災更滯迍。化為貴人,星主先貧後富。土卯:土居卯位號天沖,與火相逢亦慶隆。只恐六壬人值此,遭刑受害命須終。沖者湧搖之象。

Saturn entering theYin Palace: Saturn entering theYin Palace is called the "Nobleman" star. However, this palace does not favor the presence of wood, as wood can overcome earth. The concern is that Saturn in this position becomes a star of punishment, imprisonment, and loss, leading to many troubles in the later years of life, with further delays and difficulties. When Saturn transforms into the Nobleman star, it indicates that the person will first be poor and then become wealthy. Saturn entering theMao Palace: Saturn residing in the卯 position is called the "Heavenly Impact" star. If it meets with the "Flashing Planet" (fire), it signifies great celebration and prosperity. However, those born in the year of the sixth "Rén" (water) may suffer from punishment and calamity, and may even risk their lives. The term "impact" refers to an image of surging and turbulent movement.

土辰:土曜居辰名太極,喜在亢宮依鄭國。此為入廟最榮華,日誕夜生俱有益。辰乃土之樂旺、主榮華。土巳:土居雙女非為吉,本主逢之怎奈何。更逢吉宿也多災,若不遭刑須夭折。巳宮化天魔星,主人夭折。

Saturn entering the Chen palace: Saturn in the Chen palace is called "Taiji," and it is most favorable when it is in the Kangle mansion. It relies on the territory of Zheng state. This is a favorable position, bringing great prosperity; whether born in the day or night, it is beneficial. The Chen palace is a place where earth is strong and flourishing, thus indicating prosperity. Saturn entering the Si palace: Saturn in the Shuangnü palace is not a good omen. Even if it meets the native's destiny, there is little that can be done. Even if it meets a favorable mansion, there will still be many troubles; if it is not subjected to punishment, it will certainly result in an early death. Saturn in the Si palace transforms into the "Tianmo star," which indicates a short life.

土午:天道元來是土星,太陰會此倍精神。縱雲夜誕仍為福,日裡生人大貴榮。化天道星主喜。土未:土入未宮名四鎮,福多祿厚家豐盛。太陰若也與同行,不是望宵終有慶。

Saturn entering theWu Palace: The so-called "Heavenly Way" is actually the name of Saturn in theWu Palace. If the "Too Yin" is present here to meet it, its spirit becomes even more vigorous. Even if one is born at night, it still brings blessings; those born during the day will achieve great honor and prosperity. When Saturn transforms into the Heavenly Way star, it brings joy and celebration. Saturn entering theWei Palace: When Saturn enters theWei Palace, it is called "Four Pillars," indicating abundant blessings, thick official salary and sustenance, and a prosperous family. If the "Too Yin" also accompanies it, even if it is not the full moon night, there will ultimately be joyful events.

土申:申宮土號福生星,本主同鄉祿自成。更有官星相會聚,名彰聲顯貴還榮。申乃長生之位。土酉:土居酉位號天沐,雖是敗宮須享福。不宜火曜共同行,少年不享人間祿。土敗於酉故云壽短。

Saturn entering the Monkey Palace: Saturn in the Monkey Palace is called the "Fortune Birth Star." If it is in the same native palace as the native's main star, then the official position will naturally be achieved. If there is also an official star coming to join, it indicates a prominent reputation, both noble and glorious. The Monkey Palace is the position of growth for Earth. Saturn entering the Rooster Palace: Saturn in the Rooster Palace is called the "Heavenly Bath." Although it is a declining position, it can still enjoy happiness. However, it is not suitable to be with fire stars, otherwise the person will not enjoy the official position in youth. Earth is defeated in the Rooster Palace, so it indicates a short lifespan.

土戌:土居戌位號天關,一世優遊得自閒。只恐水星相會遇,終身不免受艱難。土亥:黑符亥上不為榮,實號俱無只有名。不是外居並外發,也須先敗後方成。主先凶後吉。

Saturn entering theXu Palace: Saturn is located in the戌 position, known as 「Heavenly Gate」, indicating a life of ease and leisure, enjoying peace and comfort. However, one should be cautious if it meets with 「Chen Star」 (Water), as this may lead to continuous hardship throughout life. Saturn entering theHai Palace: Saturn transforms into 「Black Symbol」 and when it is in the亥 position, it does not bring honor or tangible benefits, both reputation and practical gains are lost, leaving only an empty name. This person is either destined to achieve success while living away from home, or will first experience failure before eventually achieving success. This pattern indicates a transition from adversity to prosperity.

Saturn in the Heart Mansion: "The镇星" (Saturn) reaching the Heart Mansion is called "Heavenly Obstruction," indicating a person with hesitant and indecisive nature, yet a very sharp mind. Such a person suffers from chronic illness, has a short lifespan, lacks integrity, and is lazy and mediocre. In summary, this person is lazy, weak-minded, sickly, and foolish. Saturn in the Tail Mansion: "The镇星" (Saturn) reaching the Tail Mansion is called "Heavenly Favor." If encountered within the range of 106, there will be support.

Between the fourth and ninth degrees, one may attain the position of prime minister or minister of state, wearing many golden seals and dressed in many layers of purple robes, ranking among the court officials.

Saturn shining on the Wealth Palace: Saturn in the Wealth Palace is most commendable, but if there is also a water planet present, it may lead to the destruction of family property.
