Supplementary Patterns of the Formations

齊插寒梅：命立子宮度木為福德，財帛二主飛入命位，是乃謂財福克命，不可概以木打寶瓶論也。若木遇形克之星，財福減半；倘命主衰弱，反不能勝矣。經云：安命子宮，木入齊瓶。若非李郭之榮，必有陶朱之富。

"Chih Cha Han Mei": The natal chart is placed in the Zi (Rat) palace, and the degree in the palace is ruled by Wood, which is the master of fortune and virtue. The main stars of both the fortune and wealth palaces also enter the natal palace together, which is called the wealth star and virtue star coming to control the natal chart. This should not be generally judged as a凶 (adverse) outcome as in "Wood strikes the Jade Vase." If the Wood star meets a star that is in conflict with it, the power of wealth and fortune is reduced by half. If the native is weak, he or she may not be able to bear this wealth and fortune. The classic says: When the natal chart is in the Zi palace, the Wood star enters the Jade Vase of Qi. Such a person, if not achieving the honor of Li Guang or Guo Ziyi, will certainly possess the wealth of Fan Li, the Tao Zhu Gong.

角木斷躔：立命丑宮斗木度，土躔斗度，行限辰宮，木星又躔角度，故曰：角木斷躔，必然主死於非命，定因親族相累，禍起於蕭牆。又云：木度立命，見木帶煞，乃自家殺自家。金騎人馬：命立寅宮尾度，金星相會，又是寅年歲駕，謂曰金騎人馬。我騎他，蓋歲駕有侍從之義，主人祿享千鍾，不可概以為不吉也，若羅星來犯，多有為人僕從，妻子早離。

"Angle Wood Cuts the Degree": The命宫 is located in the Chou mansion, in the degree of the Dipper Wood, and the Earth Star is also in the Dipper mansion. When the career limit reaches the Chen mansion, the Jupiter is exactly in the degree of the Horn mansion, so it is called Angle Wood Cuts the Degree. Such a destiny is certain to end in an untimely death, and it is definitely due to family involvement, with misfortune arising from within the family. It is also said that if the命 is established in the degree of the Wood mansion and again meets the Wood Star along withInauspicious Sha, it means that family members will kill each other. "Golden Rider and Horse": The命宫 is located in the Yin mansion, in the degree of the Tail mansion, and meets the Metal Star. If the birth year is also the Yin year and the age ruler is in the same position, it is called Golden Rider and Horse, meaning I ride on it, because the age ruler implies attendants and service. Such a destiny brings a salary of a thousand measures, and should not be generally considered as inauspicious; however, if the Rahu invades, it is more likely to serve others as a servant, and the wife and children will scatter early.

水火相刑：歌曰：命立卯宮在房度，生於夏令，主炎庫，行限午宮見水星，水入午宮宜柳土，反凶為吉，福無邊。金玉爭光敵國富，若教脫水鬼門關，五十三四歸泉路。金神持刃：命立辰宮亢金度，乃是乙年刃在辰，卻見金星亢度躔之，官封上將，鎮守邊庭，行限至午，而遇火臨柳土，發財可比陶朱，若未限，見土躔井木生秋冬尚可，生於春夏，非夭則殘疾。

"The Water and Fire Mutual Injury": The rhyme says that if the natal chart is located in theMao Palace (Mao Palace) under the Room Mansion, and the person is born in the summer season, the fire energy will be stored in the fiery warehouse. When the person reaches the age limit and enters theWu Palace (Wu Palace) and meets the water star, the water entering the Wu Palace will be balanced by the earth of the Willow Mansion, thus transforming misfortune into good fortune, with boundless blessings, gold and jade shining together, and wealth rivaling the state. However, once the person leaves the protection of water and enters the gate of ghosts, they will have to go to the Yellow Spring at around the age of fifty-three or forty-four. "The Golden God Holds the Blade": If the natal chart is located in theChen Palace (Chen Palace) under the Neck Mansion, it is exactly the position of the Yang Blade in the year of Yi. If the golden star is also located in the Neck Mansion, such a person can be appointed as a general, guarding the borders. When reaching the age limit and entering the Wu Palace and encountering the fire star at the Willow Mansion, their wealth can surpass the famous merchant Tao Zhu Gong. If they reach the age limit in the Wei Palace and meet the earth star at the Well Wood degree, it is bearable if born in autumn or winter, but if born in spring or summer, they will either die young or suffer from disability.

元武當臺：歌云：巳宮立命，水在軫元武升垣，諸殺順又兼一點太白來，富貴綿綿應不窘，若還中限見土星，重整門庭興進永。子承父位：午宮星度立命，火星入命，以占父位，太陽飛入卯宮房度，卯乃子位，父居之，必主父子不和，兄弟失倫，行限見木，非犯刑而死，定主惡疾而亡。

"The Black Tortoise Occupies the Platform": The mnemonic says that if the命宫 is located in theSi Palace and the water star is in theChariot mansion, the Black Tortoise star rises into its own mansion; all kinds ofInauspicious Sha are subdued and do not cause disturbances. If further aided by the planet Tai Bai (White Star), wealth and honor will continue endlessly without hardship. If in middle age another limit is encountered with the earth star assisting, it can restore the family's status and ensure long-term prosperity. "The Son Inherits the Father's Position": If the命宫 is located in theWu Palace star mansion and the fire star enters the命宫, it is used to indicate the father's position. At this time, the sun has moved to the卯宫 room mansion, and卯 is the position of the son, yet the father's star occupies it, which certainly leads to discord between father and son and disorder among brothers. If another limit encounters the wood star, this person will either be killed by legal punishment or die from a malignant illness.

月明斗府：命立未宮井木度，生於十五至十八日夜令之際，月在丑宮斗度，故謂：月明斗府，必主文章冠世。如月坐斗六度，或寅宮斗度，謂之月扶斗柄，官居翰苑，三臺八座，女命值此，得兩國之封。限行酉宮，土在胃度限至，必主惡死。

"The Moon Bright Mansion": If the命宫 is located in the Wei mansion under the Wood of Well, and one is born on the nights between the 15th to 18th days, with the moon positioned in the Dou mansion of the Chou mansion, it is called the Moon Bright Mansion, and one is destined to have outstanding literary achievements. If the moon is located at the sixth degree of the Dou mansion or falls in the Dou mansion degree of the Yin mansion, it is called "Moon Supporting the Handle of the Dipper," which indicates a position in the Hanlin Academy and a place among the three platforms and eight seats. For female命, encountering this pattern can result in being granted titles of two empresses.

祥雲捧月：立命未宮，生於初八至十五，月離海島，光明漸著，夜生在丑酉戌未四宮而氣月同行，月在氣後三度，氣在月前三度是也，主人丰姿、清麗、文雅過人，若會羅星一混，謂之二奴夾主，定應中途孤苦貧窮無托，孛又飛來同度，此凶中變吉，吉則難量，行限酉宮見土，富貴，戌宮限見難計，家破人離，流年土孛沖照水火災厄。

"The祥云捧月" chart: The命宫 is located in the Wei palace, and the person is born between the 8th and 15th days of the lunar month, during which the moon leaves the island and its brilliance gradually increases. Those born at night have the moon falling into the Zi, You, Xu, and Wei palaces, with the purple qi accompanying the moon. The moon is three degrees behind the purple qi, and the purple qi is three degrees ahead of the moon, forming this pattern. Such a person has a graceful and beautiful appearance, stands out for their clarity and elegance, and is exceptionally refined in demeanor. If a planet named Luo Hui is mixed in, it is called "two slaves surrounding the master," which inevitably leads to hardship and poverty in the middle of life, with no support. However, if the moon孛 also comes to join at the same time, it can turn danger into good fortune, bringing boundless blessings. When the person's life path reaches the You palace and encounters the earth star, it signifies wealth and honor. If the life path reaches the Xu palace and meets the difficult planet Ji Du, the family will break apart and people will be separated. If the current year also has the earth star and moon孛 conflicting with this, there may be disasters from water and fire.

太乙抱蟾：歌云：未宮立命月為主，夜令生人蟾蜍吐，登時一孛抱陰精，早步青雲登仕路，計都飛伴兩無情，不過十五歸陰府。水土遭刑：歌云：申宮立命，水為主限，戌、恩、金在奎度，金木相刑，恩受制，反吉為凶。橫死鬼限行，亥宮見土星，土入江湖壁水度也，教富貴一時來，一十五年花錦麗，脫土半百危，十五溺死，官刑骨肉，忌行奎度，在火宮則金受制，行亥見土，則能生金，金生水則發，到危則被土克。

"The Too-Yi Embracing the Toad": The verse says that if one's destiny is established in the Wei Palace with Too-Yi as the ruling star, and if born at night, it is exactly the time when the toad emits its light. At this moment, if a moon孛 comes to embrace this mass of yin essence, one can rise quickly to officialdom and success. However, if Ji-Du comes to accompany it, the two are indifferent and unfeeling, and the person will not live past fifteen years and will pass away to the underworld. "Water and Earth Suffering Punishment": The verse says that if one's destiny is established in the Shen Palace with the water star as the main ruler, and the limit of life is in the Xu Palace, the benevolent star and the metal star are in the degree of the Kuai Host, where metal and wood clash, the benevolent star is restrained, and what was originally auspicious becomes ominous, leading to a sudden death. When the limit of life enters the Hai Palace and meets the earth star, the earth falls into the degree of the wall water, which may bring temporary wealth and prosperity for fifteen years, but once it is removed from the protection of the earth, there will be danger at fifty years of age, a drowning misfortune at fifteen, and also legal troubles and injuries to family members. This destiny should avoid the degree of the Kuai Host: if the Kuai Host is in the fire palace, the metal is restrained; when reaching the Hai Palace and meeting the earth star, the earth can generate metal, and metal can generate water, leading to success; but when reaching the危 Host, it will be restrained by the earth.

金星入斗：酉宮立命主，金飛入丑宮斗度，凡人命得此一星，主人才華、俊秀，早步青雲，行寅限尾度，見火星，定主刑憲血疾，若在箕度，反凶作吉，大主發福壽命延長。箕風鬥口：命立亥，行寅限而遇木星在箕度，箕星好風原，主風搖葉落，行限重見箕度，或斗度，故曰：箕風鬥口見之，家破身亡，不然水火而終。

"The Star of Metal Enters the Dipper": If one's destiny is established in the You palace and Metal is the ruling star, the Star of Metal flies into the Chou palace, which is the Dipper mansion.

However, when the limit of one's life reaches the Yin palace and Tail mansion and encounters the Star of Fire, there will certainly be calamities involving legal troubles and injuries from bloodshed; but if it falls in the Ji mansion, it will turn misfortune into good fortune, bringing great blessings and prolonging life. "Wind of Ji and Mouth of Dipper": If one's destiny palace is established in the Hai palace, and the limit of one's life reaches the Yin palace while encountering the Star of Wood in the Ji mansion. The Ji star originally governs wind, and when the wind rises, it causes leaves to fall and branches to sway; the limit of one's life again meets the Ji or Dipper mansion, hence it is called Wind of Ji and Mouth of Dipper. Encountering this pattern means either the family will be destroyed and the person will die, or they will ultimately suffer from calamities involving water and fire.

"Alone in the vermilion hall, destined for the golden list": When the body palace and life palace are in the degree of Willow Mansion and the Sun is in Star Mansion, it indicates walking alone in the palace and being listed on the imperial examination list. "A long rainbow pierces the sun, early leadership among officials": When Mars and the Sun compete in brightness, and the Sun is the useful god, it indicates early leadership among subordinates. "The Great One embraces the moon, orphan and widow": When the Moon孛 and the Moon are in the same degree, if the Moon is considered the husband or child star, this pattern is most inauspicious, indicating orphans and widows.

素月流天見金，而官居極品。月在午未，而遇金助。寒雲出岫遇土，而身隱空山。命在奎壁，而逢氣土。要官恩之明健，惟身令之高強。須要官福恩星明旺、強健身，星令星高明者，榮貴。不離順逆伏留，細辨盈虛消息。或盈或虛，當以消息而推之可也。剖券合符，心領神會，後之君子，秘此天機。

"The moon flows across the sky" and the appearance of Venus indicates a high-ranking official position: when the Moon is in the午 or 未 palace and receives the assistance of Venus, this is the case. "Cold clouds emerge from the mountain" and encountering Saturn indicates a life of seclusion in an empty mountain: when the命宫 is in the奎 or 壁 constellations and meets the Purple Qi and Saturn, this is the case. In general, the official star and the mercy star must be bright and strong, and the body star and the ruling star must be powerful and strong: it is necessary for the official star, the fortune star, and the mercy star to be bright, strong, and vigorous, while the star of the body palace and the current ruling star must also be prominent, only then can one achieve honor and wealth. When making judgments, one cannot avoid the forward and backward movement, concealment, and staying of various stars; one must also carefully distinguish their waxing and waning: whether full or empty, one should follow the principles of the waxing and waning of the moon. These principles are like splitting a voucher into two halves that fit together, entirely dependent on intuitive understanding. Future gentlemen, please treasure this heavenly secret.

清濁既分天地位，日月眾星相經緯。或躔好樂或怒宮，便斷貧窮與富貴。當生元守與流年，禍福吉凶皆瞭然。明辨毫釐細消息，由來命分懸於天。富貴貧賤君須記，命運循環難逃此。天地從頭一一味，說盡經中元妙意。

After the clear and turbid energies are separated, heaven and earth each take their fixed positions, and the sun, moon, and stars interweave纵横 like threads and woof in between. The various stars either move to the palace they like and find comfort or to the palace they are angry or dislike. Based on this, one can determine a person's poverty or wealth. By combining the palace position guarded by the origin god at birth with the annual flow years, one can clearly see the fortune and misfortune, good and bad. To discern the subtle changes between the slightest details, one must know that a person's destiny is originally determined by heaven. Remember the four words: wealth, nobility, poverty, and lowliness. Destiny cycles repeatedly; no one can escape this circle. If you carefully consider the principles of heaven and earth from the beginning, you will have explained the profound meaning of the classic texts.

金木亥室：金星與木室相逢，官職榮遷至上公。土子：參政學士能，刀筆鎮星雙落寶瓶中。木寅：人馬宮中，主逢歲，佩帶金魚榮寵至。木未鬼度：木戀巨蟹鬼金躔，必居堂廟公卿位。水月巳：水月同宮雙女躔，榮華富貴總英賢。火卯：夜火熒惑來天蠍，命主三臺殺伐權。

"The conjunction of Metal and Wood in the House of Encampment in the亥宫": The planet of Metal and the planet of Wood meet in the House of Encampment in theHai Palace, indicating promotion to a high official position. "Earth and Child": Being able to serve as a Deputy Prime Minister or a Scholar of the Imperial Academy, and excelling in legal documents and writing, this is due to the planet of Earth and the ruler of the chart both being in the Capricorn House, which is the Child House. "Wood in the寅宫": The planet of Wood is located in the House of the Horse, which is theYin Palace, and coinciding with the current year's sovereign, indicating the wearing of a golden fish bag and receiving great honor. "Wood in theWei Palace with the Ghost Degree": The planet of Wood is attached to the Ghost Degree in the House of the Crab, which is the未宫, and this necessarily leads to a position in the government as a high-ranking official.

金昴：昴上金星火在婁，夜生為主事王侯。土亢：亢宮土宿來臨照，白日生人作榜頭。日午戌：太陽昇在柳星張，又臨魯地見白羊，忽然兩位如逢此，必是承參簿尉郎。火酉辰：熒惑若來酉與辰，其人少失二尊親。火申：平生少疾無災，滯火宿從知入在申。

"The 'Gold and昴' combination: When the planet of metal is in the昴宿 and the planet of fire is in the娄宿, those born at night will become subordinates of kings and dukes, handling official affairs. 'Earth and亢' combination: When the planet of earth arrives at the亢宿, those born during the day will excel in the imperial examinations and win the top prize. 'Sun in午 and戌': When the sun rises in the柳, 星, and 张 constellations, and also reaches the territory corresponding to Lu and encounters the White Goat Palace (戌), if both these places coincide, the person will certainly hold a low-ranking position such as a clerk, assistant military officer, county magistrate's assistant, or county commander. 'Fire in酉 and辰': If the planet of fire reaches the酉 palace and the辰 palace, the person will lose both parents at a young age. 'Fire in申': A person will have few illnesses and no disasters throughout their life because the planet of fire is stationary in the申 palace."

金木子：金木生時子上頭，多營產業及田牛。水火午：若還水火臨獅子，少失資財似水流。水財：財帛宮中見水星，一如將火入深冰。水田：第四宮中逢此曜，一生財耗莫能興。金遷移：定他榮華及好妻，生時太白順遷移。孛同金：細君遺害家無子，那堪同宮被孛欺。

"The 'Metal and Wood in the Child's Palace': If the planets of Metal and Wood are both above the Child's Palace at birth, it indicates a tendency to acquire much property and land, and to raise cattle. 'Water and Fire in the午 Palace': If the planets of Water and Fire are both in the Lion's Palace, which is the午 Palace, then during youth, wealth will flow away like water. 'Water and Wealth': If the Water planet is in the Wealth Palace, it is like throwing fire into deep ice, causing the loss of all wealth. 'Water and Land': If the Water planet is in the Fourth Palace, which is the Land and House Palace, then throughout life, wealth will be spent away and the family business will not flourish. 'Metal in the Migration Palace': This indicates that the person will achieve honor and success and marry a good wife, because at birth, the planet of White Metal moves smoothly into the Migration Palace. 'The Evil Star and Metal': The wife brings misfortune to the family and there are no sons, because the Metal planet is in the same palace and is oppressed by the Evil Star."

日月分明：貴人日月要分明，日月不明非貴人。木主壽長：木星照命入廟堂，亦且教人壽更長。土星肥大：土星主人體重肥，為人稟性遲而愚。金水性巧：金水主人多精彩，性質巧劣心中藏。火計孛粗：氣羅守命及身傍，空門物外是緇黃。

"The sun and moon are clear and distinct": A nobleman's destiny must have the sun and moon clearly visible; if the sun and moon are obscured, then it is not a nobleman's destiny. "Wood signifies long life": When the star of wood shines upon the命宫 and is in its proper position, it can prolong one's life. "The earth star indicates a heavy body": The earth star signifies a heavy and corpulent body, with a slow and dull nature. "The metal and water stars indicate a clever nature": The stars of metal and water signify a bright appearance, a shrewd and clever nature, and a hidden mind. "Fire, strategy, and chaos indicate coarseness": When the purple qi and the rohuo stars are in charge of the destiny or are near the body palace, the person tends to retreat from worldly affairs, becoming a monk or a hermit.

女重太陰：婦人造化在於身，不論朝昏看太陰。月強主旺夫子：太陰得地立高強，益夫旺子壽而康。土計夾月產凶：太陰帶殺土計夾，若非產難木石壓。夫星坐祿：若論婦人夫貴賤，夫星坐祿夫榮顯。水孛倡優：女逢水孛是娼優，不是娼優緇素娘。氣羅克子：若要論他子與息，氣羅相逢真難得。

"The emphasis on the female's destiny lies in her body palace, regardless of whether she is born early or late, it is essential to examine the Taiyin." "When Taiyin is strong and powerful, it can assist the husband in establishing a family, increase offspring, and ensure the woman's longevity and health." "If Taiyin is accompanied by凶杀 (malevolent stars) and is flanked by the Earth Star and Ji Du, she may die from difficult childbirth or be injured by stones and wood." "The husband's star sitting on a fortunate position indicates that the husband will be prosperous and distinguished." "If a woman's chart includes the Water Star and the Moon孛 (a celestial body), she is likely to be a courtesan or performer; even if not, she may be a nun or a female Taoist priestess." "When the Purple Qi and Luo Hou meet, it is difficult to have offspring."

女火為夫：婦人只要看火熒，火是夫星為正宗。小兒看木：更又言及小兒星，小兒生時看木星。土命忌木：木星剛健若無殺，土命嫌之有破克。老人壽看木氣：更又論及老人翁，木氣高強壽必崇。更看貴勳垣殿駕，晝夜春夏與秋冬。又有一段奇妙訣，天機妙處細與說。

"The fire of a woman represents her husband": A woman's destiny should be examined through the planet of the bright flame (Manghuo), and the fire planet is considered the true husband star. "For a child, look at the wood": When considering the destiny of a child, the planet of the great tree (Ming) should be observed. "Those with earth destiny should avoid wood": The wood planet is strong and not associated with凶杀 (malevolent killing), but those whose destiny is based on earth actually dislike it, because wood can overcome earth and cause damage. "For the elderly, look at the wood energy": When considering the destiny of an elderly person, the wood planet and the purple qi (Zi qi) are strong and powerful, indicating a long life. In addition, one should also refer to the nobleman (Gui Ren), the official rank (Lu Xun), the palace hall (Yuan Dian), and the yearly chariot (Sui Jia), as well as the difference between those born during the day and those born at night, and the distinctions of spring, summer, autumn, and winter. Below is another remarkable verse that elaborately explains the subtle aspects of heavenly secrets.

克父母：夜日無光必克父，晝月失明先失母。晝日忌木夜月怕計：加之晝日忌木星，夜月有光亦忌計。男女數目：若論男女是多少，一水二火三木宿。四金五土若得地，男女須教屈指數。五臟所屬：胃屬土兮肝屬木，腎屬水兮肺屬金心。屬火兮動運用，五曜相攻疾患侵。

On the matter of parents being harmed: if born at night and the sun is not visible, the father is inevitably harmed; if born during the day and the moon is obscured, the mother is lost first. On the忌 stars of day and night: during the day, the sun is most忌 when Jupiter covers it; at night, although the moon is bright, it is still afraid of Ji Du to eclipse it. On the number of children: if one wants to determine the number of children, Mercury represents one, Mars represents two, Wood Star represents three, Metal Star represents four, and Earth Star represents five. As long as these stars are in their proper positions, one can count the number of children by fingers. On the organs corresponding to the five elements: the stomach belongs to earth, the liver belongs to wood, the kidney belongs to water, the lung belongs to metal, and the heart belongs to fire. Once the heart fire is activated, it affects the whole body; when the five bright stars attack each other, diseases will come to disturb.

日月眼目：若觀男女眼目星，專以日月為兩睛。犯殺落陷不得地，眼目眩晦少光明。金孛淫癆：金孛交會為人淫，必主癆病及其身。木氣腳疾風腸：木星為病有一方，必主腳疾及風腸。土主咳嗽肉瘡：土星為病必咳嗽，皮肉受病多生瘡。火羅膿血：火羅為性多毒惡，膿血夭亡災不薄。

On the Sun, Moon, and Eyes: To examine the eyes of men and women, one should regard the Sun and Moon as the two eyeballs; if the Sun and Moon are afflicted by malevolent stars or fall into unfavorable positions, the eyes will become dim and dark, lacking brightness. "Gold and Moon孛 cause leprosy": When the planet Venus and the Moon孛 meet, the person tends to be lustful and will certainly suffer from tuberculosis. "Wood causes foot ailments and wind-related intestinal disorders": The planet Jupiter causes illness in its own way, inevitably leading to foot ailments and wind-related intestinal disorders. "Earth causes coughing and flesh sores": The planet Saturn causes illness by leading to coughing and skin and flesh damage, resulting in sores. "Fire and Rahu cause pus and blood disorders": The planet Mars and Rahu have a cruel nature, causing disorders involving pus and blood and shortening life, bringing serious calamities.

金惡死、水淫蕩：金星羊刃主惡死，水性淫蕩多反覆。計孛夭壽：計孛往來主夭壽，日月失次能為咎。日月失經成敗：須看日月為主宰，日月失經多成敗。隔界之上安身命，過房出祖前分定。令星：夜月春木為令星，夏火晝日與秋金，冬水季土細推詳，昭然禍福值千金。

"Gold star with Yangren indicates a violent death, and Water star signifies licentiousness and capriciousness." "Ji and Yuebo causing mutual interference lead to short life; if the sun and moon once deviate from their normal paths, calamities may arise." "Success and failure depend on the sun and moon being the main factors of a person's destiny. Those whose sun and moon deviate from their usual positions often experience many successes and failures in their lives. If the body palace and destiny palace are placed at the boundary of two palaces, being adopted by others or leaving the family lineage is predetermined. Regarding the ruling stars: those born at night take the moon as the ruling star, those born in spring take the wood star, those in summer take the fire star, those in the day take the sun star, those in autumn take the metal star, and those in winter take the water star. In months when earth is strong, the earth star is used. Careful analysis will reveal the fortune and misfortune clearly, worth a thousand gold."

羅計：婦人只要羅計全，羅計得地主重權，朱門出身主豪貴，定為豪貴結姻緣。祿馬：女人愛祿不愛馬，坐馬之命好淫冶。生來若遇馬銜花，未及笄年須早嫁。金水：女人不喜見金水，金水分明多傍貴。玉容花貌又妖嬈，行止猶如娼妓輩。

Discussing Luo Hui and Ji Du: A woman's destiny is favorable if both Luo Hui and Ji Du are present and each occupies a strong position, indicating she will hold significant power. If she comes from a wealthy family, she will certainly marry into a noble family. Discussing禄 and 驿马: Female destinies favor禄 star rather than 驿马. Those with 驿马 often have a tendency towards promiscuity. If she is born with "horse biting flower," meaning The Post-horse and Taohua are together, she will marry young before reaching adulthood. Discussing Metal and Water: Female destinies dislike seeing Metal and Water stars. Those with clear Metal and Water often rely on the powerful; such people have beauty like jade, charm like flowers, and are alluring, yet their behavior resembles that of a prostitute.

木羅：婦人最喜見木羅，一生更有福德多。金氣相逢在其命，蘭心蕙性伶俐過。水孛：婦人不喜見火孛，白帶之疾不時出。眾星不雜性最清，壽山高兮福廣闊。金水：婦人不喜金水並，若非忌曜權最盛。流年惡殺並其身，產難之時應喪命。

Discussing Jupiter and Rahu: Women particularly favor the presence of Jupiter and Rahu; they will have a life filled with great fortune and virtue. If additionally the planet Venus and Purple Star join the命宫, they will possess a refined and intelligent mind, being exceptionally clever and resourceful. Discussing Mars and Moon孛: Women do not like to see Mars and Moon孛; they may constantly suffer from ailments such as leukorrhea. Conversely, if all the stars are pure and not mixed, their nature will be the clearest, their lifespan will be as high as a mountain, and their blessings will be extensive. Discussing Gold and Water: Women do not like to see Gold and Water together; these are either the stars to be avoided or the most powerful凶 stars. Once the evil stars of the year also join the命宫, there will be a prediction of death during childbirth.

金水孛咸：婦人若見金水孛，三改嫁兮有何說。咸池帶水與孛星，朝雲暮雨情不歇。遷移夫星：婦人須是看遷移，遷移得地福自宜。夫星高兮夫顯貴，必為命婦光門楣。孛氣五宮：第五宮中帶孛氣，先生女子方得地。那堪七宮主星陷，剋夫害子常守制。

Discussing the conjunction of the golden star, the water star, and the moon孛: if a woman sees these three stars together, it is natural for her to remarry three times; if the Xianchi and Taohua are also accompanied by the water star and the moon孛, then she will have continuous passion and emotional turmoil day and night. Discussing the migration and husband stars: a woman should also look at the migration宫. If the migration宫 is strong, her fortune will naturally be suitable; if the husband star is powerful, her husband will be noble and distinguished, and she will certainly become a distinguished lady, bringing honor to her family. Discussing the moon孛 and purple qi in the fifth宫: if the fifth宫, which represents children, has the moon孛 and purple qi, it is considered favorable for having daughters; however, it is even more unfortunate if the seventh宫, which represents the spouse, has its main star in a weak position, leading to the husband's death and the child's misfortune, and the woman will have to live a long life as a widow.

孛咸：孛星若也坐咸池，巧妝雲鬢畫蛾眉。六街不作煙花女，定是豪門一小妻。金水孛沐：婦人金水孛星迎，身命同臨性偏淫。更兼沐浴在其間，離居奔走落風塵。金木氣：婦人最喜金木氣，旺夫貴子常有利。官福宮中若得之，必得鳳冠及霞帔。

Discussing the Moon孛 sitting on Xianchi: If the Moon孛 is seated on Xianchi and Taohua, this person is skillful in combing her hair and drawing her eyebrows delicately; even if she is not a prostitute in the streets, she is certainly a concubine in a wealthy family. Discussing the Gold and Water孛 with Bathing: A woman's destiny is approached by the planet Venus, the planet Mercury, and the Moon孛, all converging on her命宫 and身宫. Her nature tends to be licentious; if the Bathing position is in between, she will leave home, wander about, and end up in the brothel world. Discussing the Gold, Wood, and Purple Qi: A woman prefers the planet Venus, the planet Jupiter, and Purple Qi, which can bring prosperity to her husband and give birth to a noble son. She often gains advantages. If these are found in the official position and the fortune virtue宫, she will surely be granted the honor of a phoenix crown and flowing robes.

水氣空華：婦人最怕見水氣，剋夫害子何所恃。空亡華蓋居中間，修指早入叢林裡。金火羅：金火羅兮原不吉，芳年卻被產中疾。咸池華蓋若臨身，送舊迎新接不一。主坐咸池：主星切忌坐桃花，殺曜臨之定破家。若是於中逢水孛，自然淫蕩好奢華。望前木氣：望前木氣望後火，女命逢之為最怒。不因產難喪其身，嫁夫殺子應無數。

Discussing the planet Water Star and Purple Qi: Women are most afraid of encountering the Water Star and Purple Qi, which harm their husbands and children, and they have no one to rely on throughout their lives; if Kongwang and Huagai are in between, they will enter the Buddhist monastery early in life. Discussing the planet Gold, Fire, and Luo: The Gold Star, Fire Star, and Luo are inherently inauspicious, causing illness during childbirth at a young age; if Xianchi and Huagai also appear, they will constantly come and go, replacing one another. Discussing the ruler star sitting on Xianchi: The ruler star is most disliked when sitting on Taohua, and if malevolent stars also appear, they will certainly ruin the family; if Water Star and Yuebo are also present, they will be licentious and extravagant. Discussing the Wood Qi before the fifteenth year: Encountering the Wood Star and Purple Qi before the fifteenth year, and encountering the Fire Star after the fifteenth year, is extremely凶 for women's fate, either leading to death from difficult childbirth or causing harm to their husbands and children, with countless misfortunes.

太古洪荒之世，清濁未分，混沌如卵。精神盛極，著而成形，則有人矣。兩儀、四象、三才、五行，備不知體，生不知用，且陰陽得位，風雷鼓舞，化生萬物，邇莫能知。逮夫聖人之生，辯龍馬之圖而立極用，神龜之文而畫字，始知五星光燦，群曜熒輝。別辰宿於乾坤，配人身於天地，災祥休咎因是言之。

In the remote antiquity of the primeval chaos, the clear and turbid energies had not yet separated, and heaven and earth were chaotic like a single egg. The essence energy and the spirit energy accumulated to their peak, manifested and coagulated into form, thus giving rise to human beings. Although the two principles, four images, three components, and the five phases were already present, people did not understand their true nature, and lived within them without knowing how to utilize them. At that time, yin and yang each occupied their proper position, winds and thunder stirred, generating all things, yet humans were right before them but remained unaware. Until the emergence of the sage, who discerned the river chart carried by the dragon horse and established laws and regulations for great use, and also created writing based on the patterns on the tortoise's back, people then came to know the brilliant light of the five stars and the radiant glow of the myriad celestial bodies. Thus, they divided the stars into the directions of heaven and earth, matched the human body with the numbers of heaven and earth, and from there, the prophecies of calamity and auspiciousness, good fortune and evil were explained.

夫人生育於乾坤，覆載於坎離，大無不周，小無不具。此論諸星本源，天干生而氣聚崇勳。崇勳者，甲祿在寅，寅為崇勳，木為崇勳之主，乙祿在卯，火為祿主之類。天干歸祿，其氣自聚，故天干吉星以祿勳為主。

Human life is nurtured between Heaven and Earth, covered and supported by the waters of Kan and the fire of Li, encompassing everything on a large scale and possessing all things on a small scale. The above discusses the origin of various stars. Once the heavenly stems are formed, their energy gathers at the position of "Chong Xun." Chong Xun refers to the position where the stem's fortune lies. For example, the stem Jia has its fortune in寅, so寅 is Chong Xun, and the planet of wood is the master of Chong Xun. The stem Yi has its fortune in卯, so the planet of fire is the master of fortune, and so on. Each heavenly stem returns to its own fortune position, and thus its energy naturally gathers. Therefore, when discussing auspicious stars related to heavenly stems, the focus is on their fortune and honor.

地支成而元居歲駕。歲駕者，即太歲宮也，如子年，即子為歲駕，土為駕主，蓋太歲乃眾殺之尊，星為諸神之領袖，星辰亂殺，皆聽令焉，故地支以太歲為元。故將官命以定三元。三元者，乃天元、地元、人元星是也，於命祿二宮以五虎遁法，數之即甲已起丙寅，乙庚起戊寅，丙辛起庚寅之例，餘仿此。

Once the earthly branches are established, the origin god resides in the "year chariot." The year chariot refers to the palace where the master of the year resides. For example, in the year of the rat (zi), the year chariot is zi, and the planet Saturn is the master of the year chariot. The master of the year is the most respected among allInauspicious Sha (malevolent stars), and the stars are the leaders of all deities. All the chaotic malevolent stars among the celestial bodies must obey its command. Therefore, when discussing earthly branches, the master of the year is considered the origin god. Thus, one must use the official star and the birth palace to determine the "three yuan." The three yuan refer to the three stars: heaven yuan, earth yuan, and human yuan. These are calculated using the "five tiger遁" method in the birth palace and the official palace. For example, in the year of Jia or Ji, the calculation starts from Bingyin; in the year of Yi or Geng, it starts from Wuyin; in the year of Bing or Xin, it starts from Gengyin; and so on for the rest.

審元辰而言九事。元辰者，乃命元也，九事者，竺羅三限四元時命是也。三限，例如申子辰命，晝生土水木為初中末限；寅午戌命，晝生日木土；已酉丑命晝生金月火；亥卯未命晝生火金月，已上夜生以中主為初主。

After determining the Yuanchen, we proceed to discuss the 'Nine Matters'. Yuanchen refers to the birth year; the Nine Matters include Zhu, Luo, the three limits, four elements, time stars, and the main destiny. The three limits, for example, for those born in the years of Shen-Zi-Chen, if born during the day, the planets used in the initial, middle, and final limits are the planet of earth, water, and wood respectively; for those born in the years of Yin-Wu-Xu, if born during the day, the planets used in the initial, middle, and final limits are the sun, wood, and earth respectively; for those born in the years of Si-You-Chou, if born during the day, the planets used in the initial, middle, and final limits are the planet of metal, the moon, and fire respectively; for those born in the years of Hai-Mao-Wei, if born during the day, the planets used in the initial, middle, and final limits are the planet of fire, metal, and the moon respectively. If born at night, the original middle limit planet is moved up to serve as the initial limit planet.

四元者，乃仁元、壽元、祿元、馬元。經云：馬元為貴祿，為祿仁元干配的無疑，壽元惟向納音取要，在強宮與限隨。時乃令星，命乃命主是也。生殺作吉凶之根。大凡諸星，生我者則吉，克我者則凶。向背為貴賤之本。諸吉星在後，相向我者為貴；或在前，相背者反賤。又諸凶星在後，相向我者反凶；在前相背者乃吉。

The four elements, or four yuan, are Ren yuan, Shou yuan, Lu yuan, and Ma yuan. The classic text says: Ma yuan indicates prestige, Lu yuan indicates official rank, and Ren yuan is determined by the matching of the heavenly stem of the birth year, which is without doubt. Shou yuan can only be determined from the nayin sound element of the birth year. The key is that they must fall in a strong palace and be able to follow the life cycle. "Time" refers to the current ruling star, and "destiny" refers to the ruler of the destiny palace. Birth and overcoming are the fundamental factors of fortune and misfortune: generally speaking, if a star is born to me, it is auspicious; if it overcomes me, it is inauspicious. Facing and backing are the fundamental factors of prestige and low status: if a good star is behind me and faces me, it indicates prestige; if it is in front of me and faces away from me, it indicates low status. If a bad star is behind me and faces me, it indicates misfortune; if it is in front of me and faces away from me, it indicates good fortune.

先看明晦、升沉、順逆、衰旺、掩蝕、沖制。此論十二字字字要緊關。晝日明而月晦，夜日晦而月明，忌守命或為主。日在六陽位為明，過未則晦，月在六陰位為明，過丑則晦。日木土水晝明，月火金羅夜明，反背為晦。

First, we must examine the twelve key terms: clarity and darkness, rising and sinking, smoothness and obstruction, decline and strength, covering and eroding, conflict and control. Each of these terms is crucial. In the daytime, the sun is bright and the moon is dark; at night, the sun is dark and the moon is bright. The dark one is most undesirable if it is guarding the命宫 or acting as the命主. The sun is considered bright when it is in one of the six yang positions, but after entering the 未 position, it turns dark. The moon is considered bright when it is in one of the six yin positions, but after entering the 丑 position, it turns dark. The sun, Jupiter, Saturn, and Mercury are bright during the day, while the moon, Mars, Venus, and Rahu are bright at night; the opposite is considered dark.

日在東喜寅卯辰巳午時生，月在西喜酉戌亥子時生，皆曰升。守命輔會得用則吉。日在西則沉，如四月卯時生人主夭；惟在戌則為合格。五星自北而西，自南而東曰順行，順則面向於前；反是為逆，逆則面向於後，須看身命之所在，以辯諸星之向背，拱夾之宜與不宜，不可概論以順者為吉，以逆者為凶也。

The sun rises in the east and prefers to be born during the hours of寅, 卯, 辰, 巳, and 午; the moon rises in the west and prefers to be born during the hours of 酉, 戌, 亥, and 子: this is called "rising." When a star that rises is in charge of one's destiny and is joined by an auxiliary star, it brings good fortune. When the sun sets in the west, it is called "sinking." For example, someone born at 卯 in the fourth month is likely to have a short life, except when the sun is in 戌. The five stars move from north to west and from south to east, which is called "moving in the correct direction." Stars moving in the correct direction face forward; the opposite is called "moving in the wrong direction," and stars moving in the wrong direction face backward. One must first determine the position of the body palace and the destiny palace before distinguishing whether the stars are facing or turning away, and whether they are in favorable aspects or not. It is not correct to assume that moving in the correct direction is always auspicious and moving in the wrong direction is always inauspicious.

衰旺者，如春木、秋金、季土、夏火、冬水為旺，凡長生、冠帶、臨官、帝旺之位亦為旺。如春土、夏金、秋木、冬火為衰，凡衰、病、死、絕、墓、胎、養之位亦為衰。如身命主及得用之星，宜旺不宜衰，須是升殿居垣方不以衰論也。

The concept of prosperity and decline refers to the strength of elements in different seasons. Wood is prosperous in spring, metal in autumn, earth in the earth months, fire in summer, and water in winter. Any element falling in the positions of growth, capping, officialdom, or prosperity is considered prosperous. Earth is declining in spring, metal in summer, wood in autumn, and fire in winter. Any element falling in the positions of decline, illness, death, extinction, tomb, fetal stage, or nourishment is considered declining. The self, the destiny, and the stars used should be prosperous rather than declining. Only those that have ascended to their own palace and reside in their own domain are not judged by decline.

羅計攔截即掩也，日月遇朔朢則蝕，凡正朔之時刻，忌坐命四日度正望之時刻，忌坐命四月度，雖無惡曜相關，亦恐損壽。若日月前後三日度內，引從夾輔，及三方對宮有吉星扶助者，反主富貴，不可概以蝕論為不祥也。

When the lunar nodes, Luo Hou and Ji Du, block the light of stars, it is called "yǎn" (covering). When the sun and moon meet at new moon or full moon, eclipses occur. On the exact moment of new moon, it is inauspicious to have the命宫 (destiny palace) located in the four star positions of Xu, Xing, Fang, and Mao, which belong to the day. On the exact moment of full moon, it is inauspicious to have the命宫 located in the four star positions of Wei, Zhang, Xin, and Bi, which belong to the moon. Even without involvement of evil stars, there is still a risk of shortening life. However, if there are stars guiding and accompanying within three degrees before or after the sun or moon, or if auspicious stars support from the three directions or opposite palace, it may indicate wealth and honor. Therefore, eclipses should not be universally considered as ominous.

凡對宮有剋星曰沖，如木在丑，金在未，對克之類。凡克本命及身度主之星曰制，如金為命，羅火制之；月為身，土計傷之之類。若仇害之星，得此沖制反吉。次看朝拱、夾輔、分會、引從、截漏、守岐。此論十二字字字要詳察。

Whenever a star that controls me appears in the opposite palace, it is called "chong" (conflict). For example, if the Jupiter is in the Chou palace and the Metal star is in the Wei palace, they control each other across palaces. When a star that controls and harms the main star of the native's birth chart or the main star of the body palace, it is called "zhi" (restraint). For example, if the Metal is the main star of the native's birth chart and the Luo Hui and Fire stars come to control it, or if the Tai Yin is the main star of the body palace and the Earth star and Ji Du come to harm it, these are cases of zhi. However, if the star being controlled is originally a hostile or harmful star, then this conflict and restraint can actually be beneficial. Next, we need to examine the twelve terms: "Chao" (face), "Gong" (support), "Jia" (flank), "Fu" (assist), "Fen" (divide), "Hui" (converge), "Yin" (lead), "Cong" (follow), "Jie" (interrupt), "Lou" (leak), "Shou" (guard), and "Qi" (diverge). Each of these terms must be carefully considered.

向曰朝合曰拱，對身命曰朝，三方位曰拱，近兩旁曰夾，近前後曰輔，羅計攔截諸星於兩路曰分，諸星聚一處曰會，在前曰引，在後曰從，先行曰迎，後行曰送，隔宮隔度曰背，在第七宮曰對，羅計攔截於身命宮之前後為截，而得吉星在外不背為漏，故曰截漏，身命所住之位為守，十二宮交界之地為岐。

Facing me is called "Chao," and those that surround me together are called "Gong." "Chao" refers to the position directly facing my body and life, while "Gong" refers to the positions in the Triple Harmony directions. Those closely on the left and right are called "Jia," and those closely in front and behind are called "Fu." When RuoHou and JiDu divide the stars into two groups, it is called "Fen," and when the stars gather together, it is called "Hui." Those before me are called "Yin," and those after me are called "Cong." Those that come first are called "Ying," and those that follow later are called "Song." Those separated by a palace or degree are called "Bei," and those in the seventh palace are called "Dui." When RuoHou and JiDu block the path before and after my body and life palace, it is called "Jie." If there is a good star outside the blocking line and it does not face away from me, it is called "Lou," and together they are called "JieLou." The position where my body and life reside is called "Shou," and the boundary between the twelve palaces is called "Qi."

凡身命坐度宜深不宜坐，兩岐之間多是隸卒之徒，否則必偏生庶出，不然常主遷移、過房、離祖、奔波、勞碌有祿貴吉星拱夾，又非前論乃主貴。方以格局考評貴賤。已上皆論諸星本元，欲考其貴賤者，須以格局詳推，審察根苗。

All stars that are in the host's native degree should be deeply rooted in their own palace, and should not be exactly at the boundary between two palaces. If a star is located between two palaces, it is mostly indicative of a lowly official or servant; if not, it is likely to be a child from a secondary wife, or else it often indicates frequent moving, adoption, separation from the family, and hard work. If at this time there are also auspicious stars such as the禄 star or the Nobleman star supporting and flanking it, then the previous interpretation does not apply, and instead it indicates wealth and status. Only after this should one use the overall pattern to assess the degree of wealth and status. The above discussion refers to the fundamental nature of all stars. To examine the wealth and status of a person's destiny, one must carefully analyze the pattern and trace its root and development.

夫陰陽夾拱得地，豈是凡夫。此論諸格總斷，且如日月拱命、夾命，拱宮福與夾官福非凡人之命。身命同守官福乃為上客。身命二主坐於官福之上，或官福二星起守身命，乃居高則榮。如逢經緯、驛馬相扶，更會斗貴、印符侍從；命內如逢天經、地緯、天馬、地驛，又會斗杓、貴人、唐符、國印、左右守值。

When the sun and moon are in conjunction with the命宫 and also in a favorable position, such a person is certainly not an ordinary individual. Here is a general interpretation of various patterns. For example, if the sun and moon are in conjunction with the命宫, or if they are in conjunction with the official position and fortune virtue sectors, or if they are flanking the official position and fortune virtue sectors, these are not the destinies of common people. If both the body palace and the命宫 are stationed in the official position and fortune virtue sectors, then it is the destiny of a superior noble. If the stars representing the body and the命 are located in the official position and fortune virtue sectors, or if the rulers of the official position and fortune virtue sectors are stationed in the body and命 sectors, then the person holds a high position and enjoys great honor. If further, the heavenly path and earthly thread, the post-horse come to support, and the handle of the ladle, nobleman, Tang symbol, and national seal are stationed on both sides to attend, it is a very auspicious situation.

卒獲萬鍾之祿，八位之權。必主其人八座鈞衡新事業，三臺鼎鼐大功名；失位失時，亦作空門高貴客，俗緣不斷，定為見紫見緋人。能合前星者，縱使生非其時，居非其位，亦作清高節介之士，拖朱衣紫之人也。

One will ultimately attain a substantial salary of ten thousand measures and hold the authority of eight seats. Such a person will certainly govern the state from the position of eight seats, initiating new enterprises. They will also be among the Three Stars, harmonizing the state affairs and achieving great accomplishments. Even if they lose their position and the right time, they will become esteemed figures in the Buddhist community. If their worldly attachments remain, they will certainly be high-ranking officials wearing purple robes and red official garments. Anyone who matches the above mentioned stars, even if they are born at an inauspicious time and cannot hold an official position, will still be a person of high moral integrity and virtue, someone who drags along red official robes and wears purple sashes.

福祿夾拱，三元總會，無傷無耗，決非貧才。福祿夾拱身命，天地人元又會，無凶星惡殺傷損，必非庸常之人。福祿相隨，田財俱旺，富可言其無比，田可連於阡陌。福祿二主守照身命，田財二主乘旺逢生，得令得位，必主富過陶朱。

Fortune and Virtue stars are joined together with the Official Star, and the three elements of Heaven, Earth, and Humanity all converge in one place. There is no harm or conflict, nor any loss or damage, so this person will certainly not be of low status or poverty. When the Fortune Star and the Official Star both support the body and destiny palace, and the Heaven, Earth, and Humanity elements all come together, without any harmful stars or evil influences to damage, this person is certainly not ordinary. The Fortune Star and the Official Star follow each other, and the Palace of Land and the Palace of Wealth are both prosperous and strong, so wealth can be called unparalleled, and the land can be connected in a continuous manner. When the Fortune and Virtue stars and the Official Star all guard and illuminate the body and destiny, and the Palace of Land and the Palace of Wealth are both prosperous and meet with favorable conditions, they are in the right position and have the right command, so their wealth will certainly surpass that of Tao Zhu Gong.

若值四耗侵凌，八座空陷，必主破祖亡家，沒齒貧窮，八座者疑是身命、田財、官福、妻子等星，四耗者大小、天地、四耗守于田財二宮，又官福身命等星並皆空陷，必主破祖、亡家、傷財、劫盜、奔忙、勞碌、沒齒貧窮人命，逢此必主一生勞碌無成、貧窮徹底而已。

If the Four Losses come to invade and the eight palaces' stars fall into empty and fallen positions, it will certainly lead to the destruction of ancestral property, the collapse of the family fortune, lifelong poverty. The so-called eight palaces refer to the main stars of the body palace,命宫, field and house palace, wealth palace, official career palace, fortune virtue palace, wife and concubine palace, and children palace. The Four Losses refer to Great Loss, Minor Loss, Heaven Loss, and Earth Loss. If these four losses are stationed in the field and house palace and wealth palace, and the stars of official career, fortune virtue, body, and命宫 all fall into empty and fallen positions, it will certainly indicate the destruction of ancestral property, the collapse of family fortune, loss of wealth, robbery, constant toil and hardship, and lifelong poverty. When a person's destiny encounters this situation, they will certainly live a life of constant toil and achieve nothing, ending up in perpetual poverty.

羅計乃首尾之星，作攔截之用。此論羅計合格，羅計二星，天之陰陽，交初為羅喉，交中為計都。羅乃天首之星，計乃天尾之星，相對而行，攔截諸星。羅計子午，中分五五，日東月西，羅計攔截前後，三三魁元引從之格。羅計在巳亥，為乾坤定位；羅計在寅申，為陰陽兩關；羅計在四維，為首尾橫天；羅計在四正，為陰陽居正；此皆大格。

Roluohu and Jidu are stars in the sky that mark the beginning and end of the intersection, and they are specifically used for interception. The following discusses the proper positions of Ruohu and Jidu. The two stars Ruohu and Jidu represent the yin and yang of heaven. The beginning of the intersection is Ruohu, and the middle of the intersection is Jidu. Ruohu is the star at the beginning of heaven, and Jidu is the star at the end of heaven. The two stars move opposite each other, intercepting all other stars. When Ruohu and Jidu are in Zi and Wu, they divide the entire sky into left and right halves, each consisting of five palaces. The sun is in the east, and the moon is in the west. When Ruohu and Jidu intercept the命宫 (destiny palace) before and after, with the Kuai star and the three yuan stars leading in front and following behind, these are considered as patterns. When Ruohu and Jidu are in Si and Hai, it is called 'Qian and Kun establish positions'; when they are in Yin and Shen, it is called 'yin and yang at both gates'; when they are in Chen, Xu, Chou, and Wei, the four cardinal directions, it is called 'head and tail spanning the sky'; when they are in Zi, Wu, Mao, and You, the four main directions, it is called 'yin and yang in proper position': these are all major patterns.

羅計居子午，中分五五，可論日東月西。羅計在子午二宮，謂之中分，左邊有未申酉戌亥五宮，右邊有丑寅卯辰巳五宮，謂之五五是也。日居東而在卯，月居西而在酉，謂之日東月西。但要五星從日，氣孛從月，安命在子午卯酉合格，亦曰首尾陰陽居四正之格。若安命從日者，即是五曜連珠，可以通看。

Roluohou and Jidu are located in the Zi and Wu mansions, dividing the entire circle into left and right halves, each consisting of five mansions. This is called 'middle division'. On the left side are the five mansions: Wei, Shen, You, Xu, and Hai, while on the right side are the five mansions: Chou, Yin, Mao, Chen, and Si. This is referred to as 'five fives'. The sun is located in the east at the Mao mansion, and the moon is located in the west at the You mansion, which is called 'sun in the east and moon in the west'. However, it is also necessary for the five stars to follow the sun and the purple qi and moon孛 to follow the moon. The natal mansion should be placed in the Zi, Wu, Mao, or You mansions to be considered proper, which is called the 'head and tail yin and yang in the four cardinal directions' pattern. If the natal mansion follows the sun, this is called 'five luminaries in a line', and they can be considered together.

羅計攔截前後，三三更須魁元引從。如身命同宮，得時得位，若有魁星及三元星，一在命宮之前，一宮而引之，一在命宮之後，一宮而從之，謂之前後三三魁元引從是也，或同在命宮左右前後者，而引從之，皆為大貴之格。更看行限相關，若何有引而無從者，先主榮有從而無引者後發福，大凡有吉星在命宮之前後左右引從者，皆可以通看。

The celestial bodies Luo Hou and Ji Du are obstructing the命宫, both in front and behind. Additionally, the魁星 and the three yuan stars must be present, with the魁星 leading in front and the three yuan stars following behind. For example, if the身宫 and命宫 are in the same palace and the timing and position are favorable, then there is a魁星 and a three yuan star, one located in front of the命宫, separated by one palace, leading the way, and the other located behind the命宫, separated by one palace, following closely. This is called "前后三三魁元引从." Alternatively, if they are located on the left and right or front and back of the命宫, with one leading and one following, it is considered a great auspicious configuration. One should also examine how the relevant stars relate to the current period: if there is only a leading star without a following one, prosperity and fame will come first; if there is only a following star without a leading one, fortune will manifest later. In general, whenever auspicious stars are present in front, behind, or around the命宫 to lead or follow, this principle can be applied universally.

羅計在巳亥為乾坤定位，平分諸曜拱天庭。亥宮名天庭，亥宮無星，只安命在亥上，十一曜分立各宮，以拱於亥位是也，但各曜所躔之宮，喜入垣受生主大貴論。若逢剋制、反背失陷，則為星困矣，減福論之。

Rohini and Ketu are located in the positions of Si and Hai, which represents the positioning of Heaven and Earth. All the stars are evenly distributed on both sides to jointly honor the heavenly court. The Hai position is called the heavenly court; the Hai palace itself does not have any stars, but the destiny palace is placed on Hai. The eleven luminaries are positioned in various palaces to guard the Hai position, forming this pattern. However, the palaces where each luminary resides should be in their native territory and receive support and assistance, which is considered favorable and is treated as great fortune. If they are instead restrained, or if they are opposite or fallen, it is called 'star困', and the fortune should be reduced accordingly.

羅計在寅申，乃陰陽兩關包裹眾星朝帝闕。自寅至未為陽關，自申至丑為陰關，午為帝闕，若安命在午，七政拱於東南卯辰巳位，四餘環於西北酉戌亥宮，羅計包裹於寅申氣孛，單行無混雜，此命主大貴，雖氣孛混在七政之列，終不以小疵而妨大局也。

Ruo hou ji du fen ju yin shen, that is, "yin and yang two gates," which enclose all the stars to pay homage to the imperial palace. From寅 to 未 is the yang gate, and from申 to 丑 is the yin gate. The午 palace is the imperial palace. If the natal palace is at午, the seven planets are supported by the three positions of卯, 辰, and 巳 in the southeast, while the four other celestial bodies surround the three positions of酉, 戌, and 亥 in the northwest. Ruo and Ji are located at the two ends of寅 and 申, while Zi qi and Yue bo each move separately without mixing. This kind of destiny is very prosperous. Even if Zi qi and Yue bo mix with the seven planets, it is only a minor flaw and will not affect the overall situation.

羅計在辰、戌、丑、未名為首尾橫天，居子、午、卯、酉號曰陰陽居正。首尾指羅計，言陰陽，指日月，言自天地之定位，而觀子午卯酉謂之四正。辰戌、丑未、寅申、巳亥，謂之四維，自人之安命而觀，雖四維亦謂之四正。

Rohini and Ketu falling in the positions of Chen, Xu, Chou, and Wei is called 'Shouwei Hengtian'; when they fall in Zi, Wu, Mao, and You, it is called 'Yinyang Ju Zheng'. 'Shouwei' refers to the two stars of Rohini and Ketu, while 'Yinyang' refers to the sun and moon. From the perspective of the heavens and earth's original positions, Zi, Wu, Mao, and You are called the four cardinal directions, while Chen and Xu, Chou and Wei, Yin and Shen, and Si and Hai are called the four cardinal directions. However, from the perspective of the person's命宫 (life palace), even the positions of the four cardinal directions can be considered as the four cardinal directions.

大抵羅計在子、午、卯、酉則曰中分橫截；在寅、申、巳、亥則曰出干入坤；在辰、戌、丑、未則曰首尾橫天。前格羅計、日月在子、午、卯、酉，而命同居固為入格，若安命在亥，與羅同宮，月在申，計在巳，日在寅亦是，辰戌丑未便可以例見矣，但要四星得地，各坐強宮而於命主為有助，必主官居一品，祿享千鍾也。

Generally, when the four stars are in the positions of Zi, Wu, Mao, and You, it is called "middle division and cross-cutting"; when they are in the positions of Yin, Shen, Si, and Hai, it is called "entering Kun from Qian"; and when they are in the positions of Chen, Xu, Chou, and Wei, it is called "head and tail spanning the sky." The previous case refers to when both the four stars and the sun and moon are in the positions of Zi, Wu, Mao, and You, and the命宫 is also in one of these positions, which naturally counts as a favorable configuration. However, if the命宫 is in the Hai position with the RuoHou star, the TaiYin is in Shen, the Ji is in Si, and the TaiYang is in Yin, it is also considered favorable. The same principle applies to the positions of Chen, Xu, Chou, and Wei. In summary, as long as these four stars each occupy strong positions and are in favorable houses, and benefit the命主, then they will certainly achieve high official rank and receive a thousand measures of grain asofficial stipend.
