Charting guides: BaZi Chart Calculator

金星若在男女宮,四男聰俊各英雄。火在此宮不得地,遇著來時定主窮。土臨第五遲遲有,夜生決定主孤蹤。太陽若照男女宮,必主貴子顯門風。

The star Tai Bai (Metal) if located in the house of sons and daughters indicates four sons, each intelligent and handsome, all becoming heroes. The star Ying Huo (Fire) in this house is not favorable; once it appears, poverty is certain. The star Zhen Xing (Earth) in the fifth house indicates late children, and if the child is born at night, it is certain to be childless. The star Tai Yang (Sun) if shining upon the house of sons and daughters indicates the birth of a noble son, bringing honor to the family.

太陰到此亦如之,三男富貴夜為功。紫氣當生照男女,不被惡星併火土,三合水月同聰俊,男女榮華定文武。羅照男女主夭亡,計都臨照亦災苦。

The influence of "Tai Yin" on the male and female sectors also indicates three sons who will attain wealth and status, with the most effective results when the child is born at night. If "Zi Qi" shines upon the native's destiny in the male and female sectors, and is not interfered with by evil stars or "Feng Huo" (fire) and "Zhen Xing" (earth), and if "Chen Xing" (water) and "Tai Yin" are in the Triple Harmony position to assist, the children will all be intelligent and handsome, achieving honor and prominence, becoming either literary officials or military generals. However, if "Luo Hou" shines upon the male and female sectors, it indicates the children's early death; similarly, if "Ji Du" shines upon them, it brings calamity and hardship.

孛星倘若居此宮,十生九死空費乳,為人性狠惡心腸,此乃依經與君語。金數四,主有四子。太陽太陰,本人之父母也,日生太陽吉、夜生太陰吉,反背者無力。

If the "Moon孛" is located in this palace, it indicates that out of ten children born, nine will die, resulting in a great waste of the effort of nursing. Even if they are raised to maturity, they will be fierce in nature and cruel in heart. These are all based on the classic texts. The number four is associated with metal, so this indicates there will be four sons. The "Sun" and "Moon" respectively symbolize the father and mother. A birth during the day is auspicious if associated with the Sun, and a birth at night is auspicious if associated with the Moon. If this is contrary, it will lack strength.

The servant's palace and the horse star.

金木星居足奴僕,土若加之夜為毒,火在此宮必少力,太陰值此多悲哭。非惟辛苦有多般,決定生時非正屋。月居此位被日土,一世多迍更貧苦。

The planet Tai Bai (Metal) and the planet Mu Xing (Wood) residing in the servant宫 indicate an abundance and reliability of servants. If Zhèn Xīng (Earth) also joins them, a birth at night will bring harm. The planet Ying Huo (Fire) in this宫 signifies servants who are unreliable. The planet Tai Yin (Moon) in this position leads to frequent sorrow and crying. Not only are the hardships numerous, but the birth also occurs outside the main chamber. When Tai Yin is in this position and is subdued by Tai Yang (Sun) and Zhèn Xīng (Earth), it indicates a life of hardship and greater poverty.

第六宮中見太乙,男女頑愚多忌疾,不然遲忌亦寡微,此乃皆言多不利。計羅居此有災殃,孛若臨之號凶極。奴僕不宜高於命主星也,若高於命主則奴欺主也。

In the sixth house, if "Taiyi" or the Moon孛 is present, it indicates children being foolish and stubborn, along with many taboos and illnesses; even if this is not the case, it still brings about delays, meanness, and trivial matters. All these are adverse influences. If "Ji Du" and "Luo Hou" are located in this house, calamities will occur. If "Moon孛" appears here, it is considered extremely凶. In summary, the stars in the servant house should not be higher than the stars of the native; if they are higher, it signifies servants overpowering the master.

The wife and concubine palace is opposite the star.

金在妻宮妻妾好,木星晝會喜相逢,其妻非但能廉潔,貌白容妍世孰同。水在妻宮多妖冶,火則傷殘莫論容,夜生尤自主分離,何況生逢在日中。土入妻宮無貌娘,妻妾命如日裡霜。

The star Tai Bai (Metal) in the wife's house indicates a virtuous and good wife; if the star Mu Xing (Wood) joins it during the day, it is an even more favorable meeting. Such a wife is not only upright and self-disciplined but also fair-skinned and beautiful, rare to find in the world. The star Chen Xing (Water) in the wife's house suggests an alluring wife; the star Ying Huo (Fire) in the wife's house indicates injury or disability, and her appearance is not worth mentioning. Even if someone is born at night, it may lead to separation between husband and wife, let alone if born during the day. The star Zhen Xing (Earth) entering the wife's house indicates that one cannot marry a beautiful wife, and the fate of the wife and concubine is like morning dew under the sun, disappearing quickly.

太陽美貌火孛丑,太陰見水美容妝。紫氣木星太陰吉,羅?自縊檢尸傷,計入妻宮勞患死,不然毒藥溺江亡。妻妾宮中見孛星,計都水火自相刑,兼主蛇傷並自吊,不然產難墮胎生。

The "Sun" in the wife's宫 indicates a beautiful wife. The "Flame Star" and "Moon孛" indicate an ugly wife. If the "Too Yin" encounters the "Morning Star" (water), it signifies a wife with good makeup. The "Purple Qi," "Jupiter," and "Too Yin" in the wife's宫 are all auspicious. However, if the "Ruo Hou" (Rahu) is in the wife's宫, it indicates the wife dying by self-strangulation and requiring official examination of the body. If the "Ji Du" enters the wife's宫, it suggests the wife dying from consumption, or otherwise from poisoning or drowning. If the wife's宫 contains the "Moon孛" along with the "Ji Du" and water and fire conflicting, it may indicate being bitten by a snake or self-strangulation, or else death from difficult childbirth or miscarriage.

火孛瘟?死暴哀,落水懸樑產難災。木氣二星多美麗,姿容可與貴妃齊。羅計二星產難別,暴喪逃亡自帶來。氣孛水金淫慾甚,交情奴僕老心灰。金乃為男之妻,火乃為妻之夫也,且妻妾宮遇金星得其正也。

The stars 荧惑 and 月孛 appearing together in the wife's宫 indicate that the wife may suffer from an epidemic and die suddenly, causing great sorrow, or she may die from drowning, hanging, or complications during childbirth. The stars 木星 and 紫气 in the wife's宫 suggest that the wife is very beautiful, her appearance comparable to that of a concubine of high rank. The stars 罗睺 and 计都 in the wife's宫 indicate difficulties in childbirth, separation, and sudden death or fleeing. When the stars 紫气, 月孛, 辰星, and 太白 gather in the wife's宫, it suggests excessive desires, possibly even secret relationships with servants, leading to a heart-wrenching end in old age. For a male's chart, the metal star represents the wife; for a female's chart, the fire star represents the husband. When the wife's宫 encounters the metal star, it is in its proper position.

Disease and Obstacle Palace, Killer Star, Difficult Star

金臨疾厄永無疾,木居富貴常安逸。水在此宮遇孛計,必定腰駝並背曲。白日生人火曜沖,必定風痰吐血終。熒惑疾厄須驚悸,土臨八位主瘟凶。

The star Tai Bai (Metal) appearing in the House of Illness indicates no illness throughout one's life. The star Mu Xing (Wood) residing here signifies wealth and honor, with constant ease. The star Chen Xing (Water) in this house, encountering the stars Yue Bo and Ji Du, will certainly lead to a hunched back and bent posture. Those born during the day who are afflicted by fire stars will surely die from wind phlegm or hemoptysis. The star Ying Huo (Fire) in the House of Illness indicates frequent palpitations. The star Zhen Xing (Earth) in the Eighth House indicates epidemic diseases and great danger.

太陽遇計火土孛,風勞血病不久歿;如見木月獨照之,一世優遊無消歇。此宮若見紫氣臨,定是安榮居要津。羅照此宮應篤疾,計會孛來定凶侵,非惟癆瘵又瘟?,抑且吐血臥床亡。疾厄之宮惟金木主仁義,則無災厄也;木月次之,其餘計都、羅?、孛、水之星,皆主不安,火土更甚,紫氣又能解人之厄。

The "Sun" in the Health and Illness Palace encountering "Jide," "Fenghuo," "Zhengxīng," and "Yuebo" indicates suffering from wind diseases, consumption, and blood disorders, leading to death soon after. If only "Moxing" (Jupiter) and "Taiyin" are present alone, the person will live a comfortable and peaceful life with continuous happiness. If "Ziqi" (Purple Qi) is present in this palace, it is certain that the person will be safe and prosperous, holding an important position. If "Luohou" (Rahu) is present in this palace, it indicates serious illness. If "Jide" joins with "Yuebo," it will certainly bring great misfortune; not only consumption and epidemics, but also coughing up blood and dying in bed. In the Health and Illness Palace, only "Tai Bai" (Saturn) and "Moxing" (Jupiter) represent benevolence and righteousness, thus avoiding disaster and misfortune; "Moxing" and "Taiyin" are next. The other stars "Jide," "Luohou," "Yuebo," and "Chenxing" (Saturn) indicate instability. "Fenghuo" and "Zhengxīng" are more harmful. "Ziqi" can resolve misfortunes for people.

Migration Palace, Earthly Branch, Star of the驿 (Post Station)

木金之宿入遷移,定主遷移福祿齊。水星卻主遠行吉,金木合照封侯印。土星阻滯難遠行,太陽晝生反為益。金水會月夜生奇,命度相逢喜見之。

The stars Jupiter and the Bright Star (Metal) entering the Migration Palace indicate a transfer or change of position with full blessings and good fortune. The Water Star (Chen Xing) falling here instead suggests a favorable journey. When the Bright Star and Jupiter conjoin, it signifies receiving a seal of a marquis. If the Earth Star (Zhen Xing) falls here, it causes obstruction and difficulty, making long journeys unsuitable. The Sun in the Migration Palace is beneficial for those born in the day. When the Bright Star, Water Star, and the Dark Star (Tai Yin) conjoin, birth at night is most unusual. If the native's degree meets these stars, it indicates a joyful and visible event.

此宮見氣主為官,太陰合照為瑞端。羅在遊行必見別,家中當見檢尸靈。計都若會孛星入,決定蛇傷並虎擒。切聞月孛入遷移,損田損宅損妻兒。

This house sees "Purple Qi," indicating travel and official positions; when "Tai Yin" is in conjunction, it is a sign of auspiciousness. "Luo Hou" here indicates that during travel, there will certainly be separation or death, and the family will also encounter scenes of corpse examination. If "Ji Du" enters together with "Yue Bo," it is certain that one will be bitten by a snake or captured by a tiger. Remember that when "Yue Bo" enters the migration house, it indicates loss of property, loss of house, and loss of wife and children.

Official Position Palace, Heaven's Blessing Star

太白木星入官祿,一世為官居顯軸。天上之宮會水星,太陽合照作公卿。水居好樂合於月,官居位顯職非輕。火在十宮夜入廟,朝端定列仍年少。羅星計孛本為凶,官祿之宮不可容。

The star Tai Bai (Metal) and the planet Jupiter enter the official position宫, indicating a lifetime of holding official positions and occupying important positions. If the celestial palace also includes the star Chen Xing (Water), and the Sun joins them, one can attain the rank of a high official. When the Water star is in a favorable and pleasant position and combines with the Moon, it signifies a prominent official position and a significant role. The star Ying Huo (Fire) is in the tenth palace, and if it appears at night and is in its prime position, it indicates achieving a high rank in the court at a young age. The stars Luo Hou, Ji Du, and Yue Bo are inherently凶 stars, and they do not belong in the official position宫.

土星尊重多豐祿,紫氣添成衣食足,只宜興旺不宜衰,為人慷慨多榮富。官祿之宮,正乃人之壯而行之之位,宜吉星則大有為:士君子立於朝,庶人興於家,商賈發於市。苟若凶星會照,誠為一匹夫輩也。

The planet Zhèn Xīng (Earth) in the official position宫 (Official Position) indicates that a person is respectful and dignified, with a generous salary. If the planet Zǐ Qì (Purple Qi) also supports it, then food and clothing will be sufficient. This position is most suitable for prosperity rather than decline. If the overall configuration is good, the person will be generous and open-hearted, achieving honor and wealth. The official position represents the period of a person's prime, when they can achieve great things and realize their ambitions. If auspicious stars are present, there will be significant success: scholars can serve in the government, commoners can prosper in their family businesses, and merchants can thrive in the marketplace. However, if malevolent stars are present, the person will simply be an ordinary individual.

The Fortune and Virtue Palace and the Star of Blessing and Longevity

福德宮中或見金,夜生一世福神欽。木會太陽居十一,祿厚福優居顯秩。水會月吉火淺薄,金土同照主食邑,十一宮中羅最吉,太陽木氣三合值,生則須封萬戶侯,死則定知當廟食。廟食,謂列忠臣廟而受祭。

In the Palace of Virtue and Fortune, if the star 「Tai Bai」 (Metal) is present, those born at night will be respected by the gods of fortune throughout their lives. When the star 「Muzheng」 (Wood) and 「Taiyang」 (Sun) are both in the Eleventh House, they indicate abundant salary, great fortune, and high official rank. When 「Chen Xing」 (Water) meets 「Taiyin」 (Moon), it is auspicious; but when it meets 「Fenghuo」 (Fire), fortune is meager. When 「Tai Bai」 (Metal) and 「Zhen Xing」 (Earth) are together, it signifies receiving a grant of land. Among the stars in the Eleventh House, 「Luohou」 is most auspicious. If 「Taiyang」 (Sun), 「Muzheng」 (Wood), and 「Zi Qi」 (Purple Qi) are also in the Triple Harmony positions, this person will be granted the title of ten thousand households during their lifetime, and after death, they will certainly be honored with temple worship. The term 「temple food」 refers to being enshrined in the temple of loyal ministers and receiving offerings from people.

The Palace of Appearance

土星相貌卻烏黃,木宿元來瘦且長。金白不惟多嗜慾,水星行動受趨蹌。羅?薄藝隨身有,月孛為人帶黑丑。熒惑一星多性惡,水星最是雙眉好。計都巧計愛談論,羅火東西打殺人。

The person ruled by Zhèn Xīng (土) has a dark and yellowish complexion and a distinctive appearance. The person ruled by Mù Xīng (木) is naturally thin and tall. The person ruled by Tài Bái (金) has a pale complexion, but not only pale, but also tends to have excessive desires. The person ruled by Chén Xīng (水) is agile in movement and behaves politely. The person ruled by Luó Hóu (罗睺) has some minor skills. The person ruled by Yuè Bó (月孛) has a dark complexion and an ugly appearance. The person ruled by Yíng Huò (荧惑) is often fierce and cruel. The person ruled by Chén Xīng (水) has particularly good eyebrows. The person ruled by Jì Dū (计都) is clever-minded and enjoys talking. The person ruled by Luó Hóu and Yíng Huò together is prone to fighting and causing harm.

水火相隨多雜藝,太陽為性卻逡巡。月孛一生多嘴舌,水星伶俐木都美。土星頑鈍言語澀,羅火為人貪可鄙。十一曜一星主一相,凡人之美惡、兇狠、溫和、古怪、俊逸,皆由各星形狀所稟生之初者也,非一而論之。

Those born under the influence of "Chen Xing" (water) and "Ying Huo" (fire) tend to have a variety of miscellaneous skills; those under "Tai Yang" (sun) are hesitant and timid. Those under "Yue Bo" (moon) often have many disputes and conflicts in their lives; those under "Chen Xing" are clever, while those under "Mu Xing" (jupiter) are handsome in all aspects. Those under "Zhen Xing" (saturn) are dull and slow, with speech that is hesitant and unclear; those under "Luo Hou" (rohini) and "Ying Huo" are greedy and despicable. Among the eleven luminaries, each star governs a particular facial feature. The beauty or ugliness, ferocity or gentleness, and peculiar or graceful nature of a person's appearance are all determined by the shape of the stars at birth. One cannot judge solely based on a single star.

Sun and Moon

太陽太陰單守命,間世英賢誰可並。忠直廉平性任真,覆庇生民朝野迥。若臨財帛金滿籯,倏忽翔威萬里程。臨在兄弟多生一,若居父母保年齡。子息一子真鸑鷟,奴僕一呼須百諾。

"The Sun" and "the Moon" alone sitting in the命宫 indicate that this person is an outstanding talent and virtuous scholar who emerges from a different era, unmatched by anyone else. He is loyal, upright, honest, and fair, with a pure nature. He can protect the people, and whether in court or in the world, he stands out remarkably. If these two stars are in the wealth宫, it signifies a full box of gold; if they are in the fame and reputation宫, their fame and prestige will spread thousands of miles in a moment. If they are in the brothers宫, it indicates there will be one more brother than usual; if they are in the parents宫, the parents will live long lives. If they are in the children宫, there will be one son, and he will be a noble and distinguished child like a phoenix. If they are in the servants宫, a single call will summon a hundred people to respond.

臨妻賢敏必興家,照疾一生無患惡。遷宮務重多功績,官祿超榮兼重職。福德應知恆與升,相貌巍然美顏色。天福來臨期百六,滿用廟方魁福祿,官資榮顯至中書,士庶逢之發金谷。日月乃為人之父母,十二宮皆吉,只恐凶星相犯而欺之者,則不能為吉。

The two luminaries in the wife's house indicate a virtuous, intelligent, and capable wife who can prosper the family's affairs; in the illness house, they signify a lifetime free from serious diseases. If they fall in the movement house, they suggest important positions held, with many achievements; in the official career house, they indicate honor and distinction, with the ability to hold key positions. If they fall in the fortune virtue house, it shows constant fortune and continuous improvement; in the appearance house, they indicate a dignified appearance and beautiful complexion. The heavenly blessing luminary arriving at its peak, within the hundred and six limit, and in a favorable position, is the best among all fortune blessings. It can lead to high official ranks, such as the position of the Middle Secretary. Scholars and common people encountering it can also become wealthy like the Stone Chou's Golden Valley Garden. The sun and moon symbolize one's parents; when they fall in the twelve houses, they are generally auspicious, but if malevolent stars invade and oppress them, they can no longer be considered auspicious.

Metal and Wood

金星守命福昌熾,木性寬仁金禮義。若臨財帛粟麥豐,敏慧虹蜺為膽氣。兄弟金四木須三,父母長年福祿深。子息木三金主四,如臨奴僕盛車軫。

The star Tai Bai (Metal) resides in the命宫, bringing abundant and intense blessings; the star Mu Xing (Wood) is characterized by its broad-mindedness and kindness, while Tai Bai is marked by its emphasis on propriety and righteousness. If these two stars are in the wealth宫, it indicates a plentiful harvest of grains and cereals. The person is intelligent and quick-witted, with courage as brilliant as a rainbow. If these stars are in the siblings宫, Tai Bai signifies four brothers or sisters, while Mu Xing signifies three. If they are in the parents宫, it indicates long life for both parents and deep blessings and honors. If they are in the children宫, Mu Xing signifies three children, while Tai Bai signifies four. If they are in the servants宫, it indicates prosperity in carriages and attendants.

臨妻員敏期偕老,照疾多康災害少。遷宮之位任重權,官祿當之權永久。福德加臨福祿盈,貌宮應喜好顏容。若期百六添官爵,凡庶當之福勢隆。金木者,仁義之星也,凡在十二宮多為福,只怕惡星同宮,則不能自任其用,而從惡宿為凶者有之。

Two stars appearing in the marriage宫 indicate a wife who is upright, intelligent and wise, and the couple may expect to live together happily until old age; when they appear in the illness宫, they indicate good health and few calamities. If they fall in the movement宫, they suggest taking on heavy responsibilities and holding power; if they fall in the official position宫, they indicate a long and stable career. If they fall in the fortune virtue宫, both fortune and official position are abundant; if they fall in the appearance宫, they suggest a good-looking appearance. If they coincide with the hundred and six limit, they can also add to official rank; even for common people, the fortune and power will be prosperous. "Tai Bai" and "Moxing" are stars representing benevolence and righteousness; when they appear in the twelve宫, they mostly bring good fortune. The only concern is when evil stars are in the same宫, in which case they cannot express their inherent nature, but instead follow the evil stars and become凶曜. This situation does exist.

Night fire, day earth

火星威焰恃賢親,土宿敦恭信且誠。臨照財宮多積聚,文章錦繡作公卿。兄弟火二土須五,田宅康寧期百六。子宮土五火主二,臨照奴牛須得取。照妻偕老年期百,臨在八宮無疾厄。

When born at night, take "Flame Star" (Mang Star); when born in the day, take "Steadfast Star" (Tu Star). Each is appropriate for its time. The Flame Star has a fierce and powerful influence, relying entirely on the support of virtuous and kind parents. The Steadfast Star is steady and respectful, both trustworthy and sincere. When these stars illuminate the wealth宫, they indicate much accumulation of wealth; in the area of literature and talent, one may attain high official positions. When they fall in the brothers宫, the Flame Star indicates two brothers, while the Steadfast Star indicates five brothers. When they fall in the house宫, it signifies a peaceful and healthy home, corresponding to the limit of 106 years. When they fall in the children宫, the Steadfast Star indicates five children, while the Flame Star indicates two children. When they fall in the servants宫, it indicates that servants and cattle can be obtained. When they illuminate the spouse宫, it indicates that the couple will live to an old age, possibly reaching a hundred years. When they fall in the eighth宫 (disease宫), there will be no illness or misfortune.

遷宮調任總遷榮,兼有良朋貴親戚。官祿榮官掌權柄,常人爭訟欲拖延。若臨福德南山壽,相貌無虞但百年。大抵晝土福星魁,夜火終為百福謀。百六會時升廣漢,常人遇此旺錢財。夜火晝土者各得其時,所以不相反背,在十二宮為吉。

When this star falls in the Migration Palace, it indicates a transfer of position or promotion, ultimately leading to honor and prominence, and also the opportunity to meet good friends and noble relatives. When it falls in the Official Career Palace, it signifies holding an honorable official position with authority; for ordinary people, it may lead to unresolved disputes. If it falls in the Fortune and Virtue Palace, it indicates a long and healthy life. When it falls in the Appearance Palace, it suggests a life free from worries, enjoying peace and prosperity for a long time. In general, for those born during the day, the 'Stabilizing Star' (Earth) is the leading blessing star, while for those born at night, the 'Flashing Star' (Fire) is the main planner of all blessings. When this occurs at the time of the hundred and six limits meeting, one may be promoted to a prominent position like Guanghan; for ordinary people, it also signifies wealth prosperity. Taking fire at night and earth during the day, each aligns with their own season, so they do not contradict each other. When this star falls into any of the twelve palaces, it is considered auspicious.

Day fire, night earth.

莫教晝火夜兼土,命遇危亡即哀苦。若臨財帛罄囊傾,悖禮乖誠多莽鹵。兄弟只應多自處,田宅當之重父母。子宮絕嗣俱螟蛉,奴僕當之奴反主。若在七宮三五妻,土主惡死火分離。

Do not allow those born during the day to encounter 「Flame Star」 (Mang Star) or those born at night to encounter 「Stabilizing Star」 (Zhen Star), for such a fate will bring misfortune and sorrow. If these stars appear in the wealth宫, it indicates complete loss of money and possessions, and the person will act against propriety and honesty, often displaying rude and reckless behavior. If they appear in the siblings宫, the person will be alone all their life. If they appear in the fields and houses宫, it indicates that the parents will experience repeated changes. If they appear in the children宫, it indicates no biological children, and all the children are adopted. If they appear in the servants宫, it indicates that servants will become masters and oppress the owner. If they appear in the seventh宫, it indicates marrying three or five wives: 「Stabilizing Star」 (earth) indicates the wife's death, and 「Flame Star」 (fire) indicates separation from the spouse.

如當滿用來居婿,妻忌刑夫亦不宜。八宮惡疾夭天年,自縊風勞日火躔。腰腎干焦溼與腫,必當夜土惡迍邅。官祿之宮不可逢,遷移官厄繫囚中。若臨福德貧窮輩,相貌破形或性凶。

If the configuration of "full use" falls in the position of the son-in-law, it indicates that the wife will harm the husband, which is also inauspicious. If it falls in the eighth house, it signifies suffering from a severe illness and dying before the natural span of life; if it occurs during the day and the planet "Flame Star" is in this position, it may lead to suicide or death from a wind-related illness. If there are symptoms such as dryness and decay of the waist and kidneys, or the body develops dampness and swelling, it is definitely due to being born at night with the planet "Stabilizing Star" in control, bringing about misfortune and hardship. The official position house should not be occupied by these; if it falls in the house of movement, it indicates legal troubles and imprisonment. If it falls in the house of fortune and virtue, it indicates becoming poor; if it falls in the house of appearance, it indicates a broken appearance or a fierce and evil nature.

忌星若也臨百六,命入荒郊定哀哭。滿中救援是三方,不在相中發衣祿。火本夜、土本晝,今而晝火、夜土,則相背逆而不向時,每事主人不利。

If the忌星 is also directly at the Bai Liu limit, it indicates that the person's fate leads them to the desolate fields and wilderness, and family members can only mourn in vain. To seek salvation within this 'full' situation, one can only rely on the auspicious stars in the three directions, but cannot expect to obtain sustenance orofficial stipend from the appearance palace. Fire belongs to night, and earth belongs to day; if someone is born during the day but is considered as fire, or born at night but is considered as earth, this goes against their nature and contradicts the season, leading to misfortune in all affairs.

Bo Luo Ji

羅計孛臨本命宮,剛強暴虐足威風。臨財主執多權概,勢力過人膽氣雄。兄弟合胎皆異姓,若臨父母二三重。臨子一如兄弟應,或是螟蛉隨母聘。臨在妻宮主換妻,妻臨一例斷裁之。

The three stars "Luohou," "Jidu," and "Yuebo" appearing in the native's native宫 (house of birth) indicate that the person is strong-willed and fierce, with considerable authority and a commanding presence. When these stars appear in the wealth宫 (house of wealth), they signify that the person holds great power, has extraordinary influence, and possesses a bold and vigorous spirit. When these stars appear in the brothers宫 (house of brothers), it suggests that all siblings are treated as if they were from different families. If these stars appear in the parents宫 (house of parents), it indicates that the person has two or more sets of parents. When these stars appear in the children宫 (house of children), the situation is similar to that of the brothers宫, or it may mean that the person has adopted children brought by the mother from a previous marriage. When these stars appear in the spouse宫 (house of spouse), it indicates a change in marriage; for a female's spouse宫, the same interpretation applies.

倘逢滿用當居廟,免見刑傷主別離。滿用依然見惡星,依前刑剋濫無情。如臨奴僕奴牛盛,疾厄當之怪疾刑。遷宮任重足威權,官祿宮中事亦然。福德若臨皆滿用,貌宮威虐孰能前。三星臨宮若得廟旺,有吉星押之,則不為禍;有凶曜攻之,為害甚速。

If the stars fall into the "full use" pattern and are in their temple position, they can avoid punishment and only indicate separation. However, if "full use" still encounters evil stars, then punishment and suppression will occur, being overwhelming and merciless. If these stars fall into the servant宫, they indicate a flourishing of servants and livestock; if they fall into the illness宫, they indicate suffering from strange diseases or injuries. If they fall into the migration宫, they indicate taking on heavy responsibilities and possessing great authority; if they fall into the official career宫, the situation is similar. If they fall into the fortune virtue宫, it depends on whether they form the "full use" pattern; if they fall into the appearance宫, they indicate fierce and cruel power, and who can stand in front of them? If these three stars are in a palace where they are in their temple position and strong, and are restrained by auspicious stars, they will not cause harm. However, if they are attacked by malevolent stars, the harm will come quickly.

Water Star

水星和順多能智,喜會日月木金氣。怕逢忌宿孛計羅,男可為奴女為妓。臨財財帛足昌榮,博覽詩書通六經。若臨兄弟宜一二,若同父母足年齡。在子一人為後裔,臨妻妻位皆吉利。

"Chen Star" (Water) signifies a harmonious and well-mannered person, endowed with great talent and intelligence. It is most favorable when it meets with "Sun Star," "Moon Star," "Jade Star," "White Star," and "Purple Qi." However, it is unfavorable when it encounters忌宿 (forbidden stars) as well as "Moon孛," "Ji Du," and "Luo Hou." In such cases, men may become servants, and women may become prostitutes. When Water Star is in the wealth宫 (wealth palace), it indicates abundant wealth and prosperity; the person is knowledgeable and well-versed in the Six Classics. If it is in the brothers宫 (brothers palace), it is suitable to have one or two brothers. If it is in the parents宫 (parents palace), it indicates that the parents will have long and healthy lives. When it is in the children宫 (children palace), it signifies one son to continue the family line. When it is in the wife宫 (wife palace), the position of the wife is favorable.

若臨奴僕在犧牲,疾厄宮中無疾病。遷宮出處總榮歡,官祿當之掌大權。福德當之豐福壽,如居相貌性溫然。若期百六限無憂,更逢滿用足禎休。廟宮會遇升騰處,百里光華遍地流。水主智,好動之星,多則喜吉星輔之。

If it falls in the宫 of servants and slaves, the benefits are reflected in livestock and sacrifices; if it falls in the宫 of illness and misfortune, it indicates a lifetime free from illness. If it falls in the宫 of migration, whether traveling or staying put, one will enjoy honor and comfort. If it falls in the宫 of officialdom, it indicates holding great power. If it falls in the宫 of virtue and fortune, it indicates abundant blessings and longevity. If it falls in the宫 of appearance, it indicates a gentle disposition. If it is exactly at the limit of the hundred and six, there will be no worries in fate; if it meets the 'full use' pattern, auspiciousness and goodness will be abundant. If it meets the temple palace and rises to a high place, its brilliance can illuminate an area of a hundred li. Water represents wisdom, which is a star that likes to move; when it moves frequently, it prefers to have auspicious stars nearby to assist.

Qi Star

景星尊大最廉平,志氣孤高又敏明。臨在財宮多粟帛,文章擲地作金聲。兄弟子位三五人,僧家或說是孤辰。父母妻宮長福壽,第四宮中田宅盈。

"The Purple Qi" is also known as Jingxing, noble and vast, most upright and fair, indicating a person of lofty aspirations and sharp intelligence. When it falls in the Wealth and Resources宫, it signifies an abundance of grain and silk; writings composed under its influence are resounding like metal and stone. When it falls in the Brothers宫 or the Children宫, it indicates three to five people. For monks who take monastic vows, it is sometimes referred to as Guchen. When it falls in the Parents宫 or the Spouse宫, it signifies long life and good fortune; when it falls in the Fourth宫, it indicates fullness in the fields and dwellings.

奴生逢會多奴婢,疾厄當之斥禍災。若是遷宮俱顯職,正臨官祿上金階。福德當之福勢隆,貌宮喜主美顏容。如逢百六朝宸陛,庶位當之粟帛豐。氣好清閒,主九流藝術,得地主清貴,逢空陷為僧道,有壽,能解人之災厄。

If it falls in the servant宫 and meets auspicious stars, it indicates many servants and attendants; if it falls in the illness宫, it can expel misfortunes and calamities. If it falls in the migration宫, it indicates holding a high official position; if it directly falls in the officialdom宫, it can lead to a position of honor to present oneself before the emperor. If it falls in the fortune virtue宫, it indicates great fortune and power; if it falls in the appearance宫, it indicates a pleasing appearance. If it coincides with the limit of 百六, it can lead to visiting the imperial palace; even if it occurs in the position of a commoner, it indicates abundance of grain, rice, silk, and cloth. 「Purple Qi」 favors tranquility and is associated with arts among the nine streams; if it is in a favorable position, it indicates high moral standing and prestige; if it meets Kongwang and falls into a decline, it indicates becoming a monk or a Taoist. It signifies longevity and can resolve disasters for people.

Luoji

大抵羅計本相對,莫把對宮推禍福。羅計權高日月星,直入火土乃為英。官高殺伐威名振,諫諍趨庭叩上清。值者多為天眷屬,不然將相是宗親。廟宮滿用人人好,群小當之破損身。羅星在天號曰天首,計星號天尾。諸星逆行,惟羅計順行,逢日月則蝕。

In general, 'Ruo Hou' and 'Ji Du' are located at opposite ends and cannot be interpreted using the usual method of opposing palaces to determine fortune or misfortune. These two stars have greater power than 'Tai Yang' (Sun) and 'Tai Yin' (Moon). If they directly enter the positions of 'Ying Huo' (Mars) and 'Zhen Xing' (Saturn), they instead form an image of outstanding talent. They indicate high official rank, control over life and death, great fame, and the ability to speak frankly in court, moving freely within the palace and questioning the heavenly court. Those who possess this pattern are mostly royal relatives or close relatives of generals and ministers. If these stars fall in their favorable palaces, they become 'Man Yong' (full and used), and everyone praises them. However, if petty people encounter them, they will suffer financial loss and physical harm. In the sky, 'Ruo Xing' is called 'Tian Shou' (Heavenly Head), and 'Ji Xing' is called 'Tian Wei' (Heavenly Tail). All other stars move retrograde, but 'Ruo' and 'Ji' move prograde. When they meet the sun and moon, they cause solar and lunar eclipses.

The Wheel of Palaces

天命為最己身欲強,值吉星以守照,獲厚福以無疆。倘入廟以清奇,更須高位;若陷囚而喜旺,又且何妨。太陽臨位而榮貴無災,月後入宮而清慈有福,美容貌而且秀,處人事而最足。

In divination, the heavenly palace is of greatest importance, and one's own palace should be strong and prosperous. If auspicious stars are stationed or shining upon it, the blessings obtained will be boundless. If the palace is in its proper position and has a clear and extraordinary appearance, one should hold a high position. Even if it is in a declining or confined position, as long as it still carries a strong energy, there is no harm. The Sun in the birth palace indicates honor, prestige, and no calamity. The Moon, as the lunar deity, in the birth palace indicates a gentle and kind nature, good fortune, beautiful appearance, and the ability to handle worldly affairs with great care and completeness.

切防忌宿照臨而減算,除年大緊凶星對照而興災失祿。金潔體而立性多剛,水鼠眸而為人不一,非言辭之無準,惟處世之多失。木須清秀體長而好學文章,氣必寬慈,經史而博覽廣識,或云孤宿亦號官星。雲寡宿者為僧為道,道官星者有職有權。孛星身瘦小,而人前好說家風。

One should be particularly cautious of the ominous influence of Guasu, which may shorten one's lifespan, especially during critical years. When malevolent stars align, calamities may arise and one may lose their position of honor. The star Tai Bai (metal) signifies a person with a clean body and a strong character. The star Chen Xing (water) indicates someone with small eyes and inconsistent behavior, not necessarily lacking in speech, but prone to mistakes in conduct. The star Mu Xing (wood) represents a person who is refined and tall, studious and skilled in literature. The star Zi Qi (purple qi) is said to have a broad and kind nature, well-versed in classics and history, with wide knowledge. Some call it Guasu, also known as Guan Xing. If called Guasu, it suggests a person who may become a monk or a Taoist. If called Guan Xing, it suggests someone who holds an official position and has authority. The star Yue Bo signifies a person with a thin body who likes to boast about their family's reputation in front of others.

羅計粗雄而膽大,性多鄙吝,喜獨居於一位,忌相會於諸星。惡曜而多白不安,凶星而遂成殃釁。火星赤黑煩燥暴以難瞞,土星矮肥最寡言而多慮。各分晝夜,切論晨昏,若為忌宿之臨,深作殃危之急。

The celestial bodies 「Luohou」 and 「Jidu」 are said to take on human forms that are coarse and robust, with a bold and fierce nature, yet their disposition tends to be mean and stingy. They prefer to be alone and dislike meeting with other stars. Originally malevolent, they often indicate white of the eyes exposed and mental unrest. Once they become maleficent stars, they can cause calamities and misfortunes. 「Yinghuo」 (Fire) indicates a person with a reddish-black complexion, a hot-tempered and irritable nature, which cannot be concealed. 「Zhenxing」 (Earth) indicates a person who is short and stout in build, very quiet and reserved, yet with complex thoughts. These should be distinguished based on whether the person was born during the day or night, and further analyzed according to the time of morning or evening. If the person is born under a forbidden constellation, it should be regarded as the most urgent calamity and danger.

財帛宮位吉凶可知,遇木星而守照,無凶曜以為奇,資財必獲於昌榮,金庫盈滿於囊篋,平生空乏。水土難欺,金氣歸垣,與木曜以頗同,日月同宮主人財而猶旺,火孛兩曜須破敗以無成,羅計二星主離祖而有望。吉凶混雜,前後須知多寡,宜詳高低無妄。

The fortune of the Wealth and Treasure Palace can be determined: if the "Jupiter" star is stationed or shining upon it without any malevolent stars mixed in, it is a rare and auspicious configuration, leading to great prosperity and wealth, with treasure chests full. As for those who are always in financial hardship, it is due to the inability of the water and earth stars to overpower and the lack of strength. When "White Tiger" (Metal) and "Purple Qi" each return to their native mansions, their effects are largely similar to "Jupiter." When "Sun" and "Moon" are in the same palace, the person will have especially abundant wealth. However, if "Flame Star" and "Moon孛" are in this palace, they can only cause destruction and result in nothing accomplished. If "RuoHou" and "JiDu" stars are present, they indicate leaving the ancestral estate and having other hopes. If both good and bad stars are mixed, one must examine the quantity of good and bad fortune before and after, and must carefully assess the degree of fortune, without making hasty judgments.

兄弟宮數要知多寡之分,星宿推遷須識吉凶之佐。值太陽者先損其父,遇太陰者卻無其母。土星生晝,兄弟而五人;金星夜值,鴈行之四個。計羅二三,木氣還多,水土兩娘,而生火星爾我而已。

In determining the number of siblings, one must also consider the movement and changes of the star mansions to discern auspicious or inauspicious signs. If the person is under the influence of the Sun, the father is likely to be harmed first; if under the Moon, the mother may be absent. If the person is under the influence of the planet of the Earth (Jingxing), and born during the day, there are five brothers or sisters. If under the planet of Metal (Tai Bai), and born at night, there are four in the family. The planets Ji Du and Luo Hou indicate two or three siblings, while the planet of Wood (Jixing) and Purple Qi suggest even more. If the person is under the influence of the planet of Water (Chenxing) and the planet of Earth (Jingxing), they are likely to have two mothers. If born under the influence of the planet of Fire (Fenghuo), there are only two people, oneself and the other.

田宅宮分,惟日月之最吉,父母重兮,喜金之極強。孛計若臨而損破,火羅土照以難堪大。欣紫氣加臨,田園豐盛;最喜木星守照,財產俱昌。男女宮內得火者一雙,子孫位中遇木星而三個,太陽得位,一二人而有可成。月曜入宮,二三子一雙無禍;水星一子須聰明;彗孛無男常坎坷;計羅有克,火星難保於初;前太乙多傷,紫氣頭兒決克破。

The field of the domestic domain is most auspicious when "Sun" and "Moon" are present. If there is an indication of repeated changes in the parents' positions, then the presence of "White Tiger" (Metal) being extremely strong is favorable. If "Moon孛" and "Counting Star" arrive and illuminate, it indicates damage and ruin to the home. If "Flame Star," "Rahu," and "Saturn" illuminate, the harm is even more unbearable. Fortunately, if "Purple Qi" is present, it indicates abundant farmland and fields. Most favorable is when "Jupiter" resides and illuminates, indicating prosperity in all aspects of property. Regarding the male and female domains, if "Flame Star" (Fire) is present, it indicates one son and one daughter. If "Jupiter" is present in the descendants' position, it indicates three children. If "Sun" is in its proper position, it indicates one or two children who will achieve success. If "Moon" enters the palace, it indicates two or three sons, among whom one son will be free from misfortune. If "Water Star" (Cronus) is present, it indicates one son who is intelligent. If a comet and "Moon孛" are present, it indicates no children and a life of hardship. If "Counting Star" and "Rahu" are present, there will be harm and obstacles. If "Flame Star" is present, even the first child may not be preserved. If "Prime Minister" is present in front, it often indicates injury and loss. If "Purple Qi" falls here, the first child is definitely doomed to misfortune.

奴為惡曜,吉凶不殊。日守則防父沒,月照則當母除。若遇惡星而入此,定係蓬蓽以安身;倘逢吉曜而加臨,須知僕馬以昌盛。夫宮無異,妻位且同。最喜金氣而相照,惟嫌日月以難逢。火星土宿而非忌,咸安木宿端正。彗孛計羅而二三,多厄水宿孤窮。若惡星以相臨,於鼓盆而難逃。

The servant's house is naturally a position of malevolent stars, where good and bad fortune are not very different. If the Sun is stationed here, one should beware of the father's death; if the Moon is present, there may be misfortune related to the mother. If evil stars enter this house, it is certain that one will live in poverty and hardship. However, if auspicious stars are present, servants and carriages will flourish. For a woman's husband house and a man's wife house, the method of interpretation is the same. This house most favors the presence of the White Tiger (metal) and the Purple Qi, but it is undesirable for the Sun and Moon to meet here. The planet of the Fiery Deity (fire) and the Planet of the Earth (earth) are not considered harmful here and can bring stability; the presence of the Jupiter (wood) indicates a proper spouse. Comets, the Moon孛, the planets 计都 and 罗睺 indicate multiple remarriages and many calamities; the planet of the Water (Chen star) indicates loneliness and poverty. If malevolent stars are present, one is bound to suffer the sorrow of losing a spouse and endure the pain of widowhood.

疾厄之位兮知吉知凶,禍患之宮兮理優理正。太陽臨位,百禍俱消;月曜入宮,而一身遭釁。水主蹇厄,孛守而喉腹生災;火主眼腰,土臨而心胸疾定。木金救解,災痾不致於侵凌;羅計為憂,手足安能於馳騁。宜當仔細推詳,庶無一毫差謬。

The position of Ji’e can determine fortune or misfortune, and the palace of Huo Huàn also follows a logical pattern, whether it is favorable or correct, all can be clearly explained. If the Sun is present here, all kinds of troubles will dissipate; if the Moon is in the palace, the person will suffer from calamities. If the Star of the Dragon (water) is present, there will be difficulties and hardships; if the Moon孛 is in charge, there will be illness in the throat and abdomen. If the planet of the Flame (fire) is present, there will be diseases in the eyes and waist; if the planet of the Earth (earth) is present, there will certainly be illness in the chest. If the planet of the Wood and the planet of the Metal (gold) come to rescue, diseases and suffering will not afflict the person. But if the planets of the Rahu and Ketu are present, how can the hands and feet move freely? All these should be carefully examined to avoid any slightest error.

遷移之位逢火孛,切忌遠行;合照之方遇羅?,必須破宅。太陽嫌晦怕囚,木金多樂於風流,水氣卻豐於財帛。官祿吉曜,職權自昌,日月相逢之最貴,羅計入廟以為強,孛星守而刑獄難逃,木氣臨而資財豐盛。

If the position of migration encounters "Flame Star" (Fire) and "Moon孛" (Moon孛), one should avoid traveling far. If the direction of meeting encounters "Ruo Hui" (Rahu), the family dwelling will certainly suffer ruin. "Sun" is disliked here when it is dark or trapped; if "Jupiter" and "Bright White" (Metal) fall here, they tend to enjoy romantic affairs. If "Chen Star" (Water) and "Purple Qi" fall here, wealth will be abundant. If the official position receives auspicious stars, official position and power will naturally flourish: "Sun" and "Bright Moon" meeting is most noble, "Rahu" and "Ji Du" entering their proper place shows strength, while "Moon孛" sitting here leads to inevitable legal troubles, and "Jupiter" and "Purple Qi" shining here bring wealth.

福德宮神最宜明淨,此一宮之強盛,獲百福以來臨。倘逢凶曜之加,壽齡何保;縱有吉星之助,財產須傾。且聞相貌之宮,須識凶吉,詳推全籍身命之宮,始知禍福堪憑。所以星辰五六,榮枯貴賤以安排;宮分四三,否泰窮富而列定。宜詳宜究,愈審愈精。

The stars and deities in the Palace of Fortune and Virtue should be clear and pure. If this palace is strong and prosperous, all kinds of blessings will naturally follow. However, if malevolent influences are present, longevity cannot be preserved; even with auspicious stars assisting, wealth will eventually be lost. Moreover, the palace of appearance also needs to be discerned for its auspicious or inauspicious nature, but detailed analysis depends entirely on the body palace and the birth palace to determine the basis of fortune and misfortune. Therefore, the numbers of stars and deities determine a person's prosperity or decline and their status; the divisions of palace positions determine a person's fortune or misfortune and wealth or poverty. These matters should be thoroughly investigated. The more careful the examination, the more accurate the results will be.
