On the Reverse Consumption of Food

夫倒食者，沖財神之謂也；一名『吞啗煞』。用財神大忌見之，用食神亦忌見之。

The term "dào shí" refers to the one that clashes and controls the wealth star, also known as "tūn dàn shā," meaning it takes back the food from my mouth. It is most undesirable when using the wealth star as a key element, and also inauspicious when using the food god as a key element.

倒食者，如甲見壬之類。如甲見丙為食神，能生土財；然壬剋丙火，丙火不能生甲木之土財，所謂甲用食神，大忌見之。

Reverse consumption occurs when Jia wood meets Ren water, which is considered a biased nourishing source. When Jia wood meets Bing fire, it is considered the food god. Bing fire can generate Wu and Ji earth, which are the wealth. However, when Ren water comes, it suppresses Bing fire, preventing it from generating the earth wealth needed by Jia wood. This is why, when Jia wood uses the food god as its beneficial element, it is most unfavorable to encounter Ren water.

凡命中帶此二者，主福淺壽薄。又見庚為七殺，得丙丁火制之，怕見水，反為禍矣！凡命中犯此者，猶尊長之制我身，不得自由也。作事進退悔懶、有始無終、財源屢成屢敗、容貌攲斜、身品矮小、膽怯心慌，凡事無成也。

If a person's destiny includes both倒食 and七杀, it indicates a thin fortune and a short lifespan. For example, if 甲 wood is accompanied by 庚 metal, this is 七杀. Normally, 丙 or 丁 fire should be used to control it. However, at this time, the presence of water is most dangerous, as it will weaken the fire. If the fire is weakened, the 七杀 will lose control and become a source of disaster. Those who have 倒食 in their destiny are like having an elder above them who constantly controls them, leaving them with no freedom. They hesitate and are indecisive in their actions, often regretting and being lazy, thus failing to complete anything. Their wealth comes and goes repeatedly, they have an unattractive appearance, are short in stature, have a timid heart and are easily frightened, and ultimately fail in all their endeavors.

如丁未、丁未、己亥、丁卯：此命己亥日，己臨亥上，身弱於亥；加以亥卯未木局剋身，年月時透出三丁食己。幼年行南方運，賴火生土，身猶旺；才交乙巳運，為己之七殺，引出亥卯未木局，歲運癸亥，所以死矣！此命非但倒食七殺之禍，而癸亥年與生殺壞印之說同義也。

For example, a person born in the year Dingwei, month Dingwei, day Jihai, and hour Dingmao: the day stem is Ji soil, sitting on Hai. Hai is the dead position for Ji soil, so the body is weak. Moreover, the triple harmony of Hai, Mao, and Wei forms a wood trinity to overcome the body. The year, month, and hour all reveal three Ding fire, which is the nourishing element for Ji soil. In childhood, when the person travels through the southern fire path, the fire nourishes the soil, so the body is still strong. But once the person enters the Yisi path, the Yimao wood becomes the seven killer for Ji soil, and it also activates the wood trinity of Hai, Mao, and Wei. In the Guihai year, the year and path combine, and the person dies. This fate not only suffers from the evils of devouring food and seven killers, but in the Guihai year, the wealth element is strong and generates the seven killer, which destroys the fire nourishing element. This is exactly the same as the concept of 'generating the killer and destroying the nourishing element'.

如甲戌、丙寅、甲戌、壬申：此命甲戌日，甲見丙食神，生於正月，甲木旺，身與食神俱旺，本是貴命；不合時上壬申，壬水傷其丙火，申金沖其寅木；又申中有庚七殺，所以利名無成。行己巳運金生之地，見庚子年；庚金為七殺，又見子水，死於非命。

For example, a person born in the year Jia Xu, month Bing Yin, day Jia Xu, and hour Renshen: the Jia wood day master sees Bing fire as the food god, born in the first month when wood is strong, both the body and the food god are strong, which is a noble destiny. Unfortunately, the hour pillar is Renshen, where Renshui is the reverse food, which harms Bing fire, and Shen metal also disturbs the Yin wood. Moreover, Shen contains hidden Geng metal, which is the seven killer. Therefore, both fame and fortune are not achieved. When he enters the Jisi decade, Si is the growth place of metal, and meets Gengzi in the year: Geng metal is the seven killer, and the Zi water helps Renshui to harm fire, so this person dies an untimely death.

亦名『逆刃』，如乙見甲為劫財。乙以庚為夫，見丙剋庚，故剋夫；男命則剋妻。

Embezzlement wealth is also called "reverse blade." For example, if a person with the heavenly stem Yi (wood) encounters Jia (wood), it is considered embezzlement wealth. Yi wood takes Geng (metal) as its husband star; if Bing (fire) comes to harm Geng (metal), the husband star is injured, so it indicates harm to the husband. If this applies to a man's chart, the same principle would indicate harm to his wife.

五陽見五陰為敗財，主剋妻害子。五陰見五陽為劫財，主破耗、防小人，不剋妻。

Five yang stems encountering their corresponding five yin stems are called "Bai Cai," indicating harm to wife and children. Five yin stems encountering their corresponding five yang stems are called "Jie Cai," indicating loss of wealth and dispersion, requiring vigilance against small people, but not necessarily harming the wife.

乙以戊己為財，甲見奪己壞戊；丁以庚辛為財，丙能奪辛破庚；類如此也。

Yi wood takes Wu and Ji earth as its wealth; once there is Jia wood, Jia will combine with Ji earth, thus destroying Wu earth, taking away Yi wood's wealth. Ding fire takes Geng and Xin metal as its wealth; Bing fire can also combine and take away Xin metal, and destroy Geng metal. The rest of the heavenly stems follow the same pattern.

兄見弟，弟能敗兄之財，奪兄之妻。弟見兄，兄能劫弟之財，而不敢取弟之妻。財者，人之所欲，方令弟兄見之，多有爭競，如夷、齊能幾人。

As an elder brother encountering a younger brother, the younger brother can ruin the elder brother's wealth and even take away the elder brother's wife; as a younger brother encountering an elder brother, the elder brother can seize the younger brother's wealth, but dares not take the younger brother's wife. Wealth is something everyone desires, and once brothers meet, they are likely to quarrel over it. Those like Bo Yi and Shu Qi, who share it with each other, are rare in the world.

男命見劫財多剋妻，女命見傷官多剋夫。此極論也。

For a man's fate, if there are many instances of劫财, it often indicates the possibility of harming his wife; for a woman's fate, if there are many instances of伤官, it often indicates the possibility of harming her husband. This is the most important conclusion.

夫陽刃者，號天上之凶星，作人間之惡殺，以祿前一位是也；如甲祿在寅，卯為陽刃。喜偏官七殺，喜印綬；忌反吟伏吟，忌魁罡，忌三合。

The "Yang Ren" is said to be a凶 star in the heavens and an evil spirit in the human world. It is located at the position before the day master's禄. For example, the禄 of Jia wood is in寅, and the position before寅 is卯, which is the Yang Ren of Jia wood. It prefers to be paired with偏官 seven killers and also likes印绶. It dislikesReverse Chant,Hidden Chant,魁罡, andTriple Harmony会局.

何謂陽刃？甲丙戊庚壬五陽有刃，乙丁己辛癸五陰無刃，故名陽刃。如命中有刃，不可便言凶，大率與七殺相似。凡有刃者，多主富貴人；卻喜偏財七殺。

What is called the Yang Blade? The five yang heavenly stems, Jia, Bing, Wu, Geng, and Ren, have a blade, while the five yin heavenly stems, Yi, Ding, Ji, Xin, and Gui, do not. Therefore, it is called the Yang Blade. If someone's fate includes a blade, one should not immediately say it is凶 (adverse). Its nature is generally similar to the Seven Killings. Those who have a blade tend to be prosperous and wealthy. In fact, it prefers to be paired with偏财 (biased wealth) and Seven Killings.

然，『殺無刃不顯，刃無殺不威！』刃殺俱全，非常人有之。大要身旺，運行身旺之鄉；不要見傷官、刃旺運。

However, "the seven杀 does not become prominent without a Yang Blade, and the Yang Blade does not become formidable without the seven杀"; a fate that possesses both the blade and the seven杀 is not common. What is important is a strong body, and the fortune should also go to a place where the body is strong; one should not encounter the official star or travel through a path where the blade is strong.

若命中元有殺刃，歲運又逢之，其禍非常。若命有刃無殺，歲運逢殺旺之鄉，乃轉生而反成厚福；如傷官財旺，身弱殺旺，最可忌也。

If one's destiny already contains both killing stars and cutting stars, and then encounters them again in the stream year and great destiny period, the calamity will be very serious. If the destiny contains cutting stars but not killing stars, and encounters the strong land of seven killing stars in the stream year and great destiny period, it can instead bring new opportunities and great blessings. However, if the injurious official and wealth are both strong, the day master is weak, and the killing stars are also strong, this situation is most dangerous to avoid.

如庚申、己卯、甲寅：此命甲日見卯為刃，庚為七殺。其殺本傷身，卻藉卯中乙木以配合，其殺有情，則殺不能傷身；正是甲以乙妹妻庚之義。其身旺南方運，所以為貴。

For example, a person born in the year Gengshen, month Jimao, and day Jiayin: the day stem is Jia wood, which is the main element. The Jia wood sees Mao as the Yang Blade, and Geng metal as the seven killer. The seven killer is usually harmful to the body, but it is paired with the ethereal wood in Mao and the Geng metal, forming a harmonious relationship, so the seven killer becomes affectionate and does not harm the body. This is what is meant by "Jia gives her younger sister to Geng metal." This person has strong vitality and proceeds in the southern direction, thus achieving prominence.

如戊午、戊午、戊午、甲寅：此命刃殺全，而又以午火為印，所以為貴。故《喜忌篇》云：『戊日午月，勿作刃看；歲時火多，卻為印綬。』

For example, a person born in the year Wuwu, month Wuwu, day Wuwu, and hour Jiayin: this fate has both the Yang Blade and the Seven Killers, and the fire in the Wu month is also the印 of the Wu earth, so it is considered noble. Therefore, the "Book of Favor and Disfavor" says: for a Wu earth day master born in the Wu month, do not regard Wu as the Yang Blade; if there is a lot of fire in the year and hour, Wu instead becomes the印綬.

如辛酉、甲午、戊午、甲寅：此命殺刃全，而有印綬。不合年干傷官透出，運行辛卯，犯傷官元有之辰；壬為財，是壬辰歲凶事投水而死。壬水剋火印，時坐甲之七殺，謂之生殺壞印。即此命見辛為傷官，運行辛卯，忌見官；午中丁火為印綬，最忌傷官與財相見，緣水生木剋身也。

For example, a person born in the year of Xin You, month of Jia Wu, day of Wu Wu, and hour of Jia Yin: this person has both a killer and a blade, and also has an official seal. Unfortunately, the heavenly stem of the year reveals Xin metal, which is a harmful official. When entering the Xin Mao decade, it directly conflicts with the original harmful official in the birth chart. The water is the wealth of Wu earth, so in the year of Ren Chen, a misfortune occurred, and the person died by drowning. The water overcomes the fire official, and the hour position has Wu earth's seven killer, which is Jia wood. This is called "generating the killer and ruining the official" — wealth generates the killer, and the killer ruins the official. In this case, seeing Xin indicates a harmful official, and during the Xin Mao decade, it is most dangerous to see another official star. The fire in Wu is its official seal, and it is most dangerous for the harmful official and wealth to appear together, because water nourishes wood, and wood turns back to harm the body.

如癸未、乙卯、甲子、己巳（岳飛）：此命卯刃癸印。不合時上己巳破印，運行辛亥，亥卯未合起陽刃；辛酉年，辛金又旺於酉，沖起卯刃二辛，則太過。金多見甲，身雖貴，亦遭刑也；然雖見辛為貴，所忌陽刃，不可一合一沖也。

For example, the birth of Yue Fei was on the year Guiwei, month Yimao, day Jiazi, and hour Jisi: this fate takes the卯 as the Yang Blade and the癸 water as the seal. Unfortunately, the hour Jisi destroyed the seal— the己 earth combined with the癸 water, and the巳 fire further drained its strength. When he entered the Xinhai decade, the亥 combined with the卯 and the未 to form a Triple Harmony, thus combining the Yang Blade; when he reached the Xinyou year, the辛 metal became even stronger in the酉, and the two辛 metals together strongly冲动 the卯 blade, which was excessive. The abundance of metal came to attack the Jia wood, so although his body was prominent and noble, he ultimately suffered punishment. It is evident that although the辛 metal is the noble aspect for the Jia wood, the thing to be avoided is the Yang Blade. One must not both combine and冲 it at the same time.

《詩訣》陽刃存時莫看凶，身輕返助卻為凶；單嫌歲月重相見，莫把生時作怒宮。

The presence of the Yang Blade in the hour pillar should not be regarded as entirely凶; when the day master is weak, the Yang Blade can actually help strengthen it. At this point, if one further assists it, it would turn into something凶. One should be cautious about seeing multiple instances of the Yang Blade in the year or month pillars; do not simply consider a birth time with the Yang Blade as a place of anger.

《詩訣》壬子休來見午宮，午宮又怕子來沖；丙日坐午休重見，會合身宮事有凶。

On a Renzi day, the blade should not appear again in the Wu palace, as Wu will clash with Zi; conversely, if Wu is the palace, it should also avoid being clashed by Zi. For a Binghu day with Wu as the palace, the blade should not appear repeatedly; if Wu combines with other branches and disturbs the original palace of the day's ruler, it will lead to misfortune.

《詩訣》日刃還如陽刃同，官星七殺喜交逢；歲君若也無傷劫，支上刑沖立武功。

The view of the day blade is the same as that of the Yang Blade, preferring the combination of official stars and seven killers. If the stream year and the year ruler do not have injurious officials or thieves to disrupt, even if there are some punishments and clashes in the earth branches, it can actually help establish martial skills.

《詩訣》陽刃嫌沖合歲君，流年遇此主災迍；三刑七殺如交遇，必定閻王出引徵。

The Yang Blade is most disliked when it collides or combines with the current year's heavenly stem, causing disaster and hardship if encountered in the flow of the year. If the Three Punishments and the Seven Killers also meet and combine, it is certain that the King of Hell will come to take one's life.

《詩訣》時逢陽刃喜偏官，若見財星禍百端；歲運相沖並相合，勃然災禍又臨門。

When the time stem encounters the Yang Blade, it is most favorable to have a biased official to match; if the wealth star appears — the wealth both generates the killer and triggers the blade — numerous troubles will arise. If the flow year and big destiny year both clash and harmonize, calamities will suddenly arrive.

《詩訣》陽刃重逢合有傷，主人心性氣高強；刑沖太重多凶厄，有制方為保吉昌。

The Yang Blade appears repeatedly and meets a combination, with the combination bringing injury. Such a person has a strong character and a high temper. If punishment and clash are too heavy, there will be much misfortune; one must have something to restrain it in order to maintain good fortune and prosperity.

《詩訣》陽刃之辰怕見官，刑沖破害禍千端；大嫌財旺居三合，斷指傷殘體不完。

The branch where the Yang Blade is located most fears the presence of the official star. Once there is a conflict, collision, destruction, or harm, troubles will arise in many forms. Especially if wealth is strong and falls within the Triple Harmony, it will result in injuries, disabilities, or incomplete body parts.

《詩訣》馬逢丙戊鼠逢壬，喜見官星七殺臨；刑害無妨沖敗懼，怕逢財地禍非輕。

When the horse (午) meets the Bing and Wu heavenly stems, and the rat (子) meets the Ren heavenly stem, these form the three day blades: Bingwu, Wuwu, and Renzi. Such a destiny favors the arrival of official stars and seven killers. Suffering from punishments and harms is not a major concern, but fear comes from the clash causing failure. Even more dangerous is entering the wealth territory, which brings serious misfortune.

日刃與陽刃同。日刃有戊午、丙午、壬子也，與陽刃同法；不喜刑沖破害，不喜會合、兼受七殺，要行官鄉，便為貴命。若四柱中一來會合，必主奇禍。

The day blade and the Yang blade are the same type. The day blade occurs only on the days Wuwu, Bingwu, and Renzi. Its interpretation is the same as the Yang blade: it does not like punishments, clashes, breaks, or harm, nor does it like combinations. It must also be able to withstand the seven killers. When the fortune flows into the official position, it becomes a noble destiny. If there is a combination in the four pillars, it will surely bring unexpected misfortune.

其人眼大鬚長、性剛果毅，無惻隱惠慈之心、有刻剝不恤之意。三刑自刑魁罡全，發跡疆場。

This person has large eyes and long beard, is strong-willed and decisive, lacks compassion and kindness, and has a mean and exploitative mind. If the Three Punishments, Self-Punishment, and the Kui Gāng are all present, they may achieve success and establish merit on the battlefield.

如或無情、或財旺，則主其凶；或有救神，要先審察。如刑害俱全，類皆得地，貴不可言也！安得不舉。

If the heavenly stems and earthly branches have no mutual affinity, or if the wealth star is too strong, it indicates misfortune. However, if there is another saving deity, one must first examine it clearly. If both punishments and harms are present, yet each deity is in a favorable position, then the auspiciousness is boundless, how could there be any reason not to be recommended?

獨陽刃以時言之，四柱中不要入財鄉，怕沖陽刃。且如戊日刃在午，忌行子正財運；壬刃在子，忌行午正財運；庚刃在酉，忌行卯正財運；甲日行巳午並辰戌丑未財運不妨，忌酉運；丙日刃在午，行申酉庚辛丑不妨，忌子運。

Speaking solely of the Yang Blade, it refers to the time pillar: among the four pillars, one should not enter the wealth area, and one should also avoid having something that conflicts with the Yang Blade. For example, for a day master of Wu Earth, the Yang Blade is in Wu, so it is undesirable to go through the step of Zi, which is the official wealth. For a day master of Ren Water, the Yang Blade is in Zi, so it is undesirable to go through the step of Wu, which is the official wealth. For a day master of Geng Metal, the Yang Blade is in You, so it is undesirable to go through the step of Mao, which is the official wealth. For a day master of Jia Wood, going through the fire areas of Si and Wu or the wealth areas of Chen, Xu, Chou, and Wei is not a problem, but only the step of You is to be avoided, because You conflicts with the Mao Blade. For a day master of Bing Fire, the Yang Blade is in Wu, so going through the steps of Shen, You, Geng, Xin, and Chou is not a problem, but only the step of Zi is to be avoided, because Zi conflicts with the Wu Blade.

大抵陽刃要身旺，喜有物以去之，經曰：『人有鬼人，物有鬼物，逢之為災，去之為福。』如葛參政命，壬申、壬子、戊午、乙卯：戊日刃在午，喜得乙卯時，正官制伏去了，所以為福也。

In general, the Yang Blade requires the day's main element to be strong, and it prefers something that can remove it. The classics say: within people, there are 'ghost people' that harm others; within objects, there are 'ghost objects' that harm things. Meeting them brings disaster, but removing them brings blessings. For example, the fate of Ge Cansheng, born in the year Renshen, month Renzi, day Wuwu, and hour Yimao: the Yang Blade for the Wu earth day ruler is in Wu. It is fortunate that the hour Yimao is present, as the Yimao wood is the proper official of Wu earth, which controls and removes the Wu blade, thus turning it into a blessing.

日貴者何？即甲戊兼牛羊之類。止有四日：丁酉、丁亥、癸巳、癸卯耳；最怕刑沖破害。經曰：『崇為寶也，奇為貴也，所以貴人怕三刑六害也。』

What is called "day nobleman" refers to the situation where the Tianyi Nobleman falls exactly on the day branch. There are only four days that have day nobleman: Dingyou, Dinghai, Guisi, and Guimao. Ding takes You and Hai as its nobleman, while Gui takes Si and Mao as its nobleman. This pattern is most vulnerable to punishments such as刑 (punishment), 冲 (clash), 破 (destruction), and 害 (harm). The classics say that only the lofty can be considered precious, and only the extraordinary can be considered noble. Therefore, noblemen are most afraid of the three punishments and six harms.

貴神要聚於日；運行怕空亡、及運行太歲，加會不要魁罡。主人純粹、有仁德、有姿色，不傲物。

The noble spirit should congregate on the day pillar; during the course of one's fortune, it is feared to fall into Kongwang or to clash with the year's master. Among combinations, it is also undesirable to involve the魁罡. Those with this pattern have pure character, are benevolent and virtuous, have good appearance, and are not arrogant towards others.

或犯前刑剋貧賤；刑沖太甚，貴人生怒，反成其禍。不可不察！日貴有時法類同，須分晝夜貴；日要日貴，夜要夜貴矣！

If one incurs the punishments and clashes mentioned above, it leads to poverty and low status; if the punishments and clashes are too severe, even the nobleman becomes angry, turning into misfortune. It is essential to examine this carefully. The day nobleman falling in the hour pillar has another set of considerations, and it is also necessary to distinguish between 'day nobleman' and 'night nobleman': those born in the day should have the day nobleman, and those born at night should have the night nobleman, in order to be harmonious.

《詩訣》日貴支干一位同，空亡大忌帶官沖；仁慈廣德多姿色，會合財官空自崇。

The day's nobleman is when the heavenly stem and earthly branch of the day pillar exactly form the nobleman. It is most undesirable if the nobleman falls into kongwang, and also undesirable if it is accompanied by the official star and conflicts. Such a person is kind and benevolent, with broad virtue and good appearance. However, if only the wealth and official star are present but the nobleman falls into kongwang, it is merely a hollow display of respect.

《詩訣》丁日豬雞癸兔蛇，刑沖破害漫諮嗟；財臨會合方成貴，終始合建乃是佳。

On days of the stem Ding, the Nobleman is in亥 (Pig) and酉 (Chicken); on days of the stem Gui, the Nobleman is in卯 (Rabbit) and巳 (Snake). Once there is punishment and clash, it leaves only empty sighs. There must be the arrival of the wealth star and mutual assistance to achieve nobility. Only those that remain consistently in harmony with the Month Builder throughout are considered excellent.

《詩訣》癸丁蛇卯屈豬雞，官被刑沖禍必隨；純粹施為有仁德，尊崇富貴出希奇。

On a Gui day, the nobleman is in Si and Mao; on a Ding day, the nobleman is in Hai and You. If the official star is subjected to punishment and clash, calamity will surely follow. If one's actions are pure and benevolent, then honor and wealth will be attained unexpectedly.

《詩訣》日貴看來是兔蛇，格生亥酉越堪誇；刑沖不遇空亡位，輔佐功勳在帝家。

In the day's noble position, for a癸 day, the卯 (rabbit) and巳 (snake) are considered; if this position is found in亥 (pig) or酉 (rooster), it is the noble position of丁 day, which is even more commendable. As long as it does not encounter punishment and clash or fall into the position of Kongwang, it can assist the imperial house and establish meritorious deeds.

日德有五：甲寅、戊辰、丙辰、庚辰、壬戌日是也。其福要多，而忌刑沖破害，惡官星，憎財旺；加臨會合，但空亡而忌魁罡。此數者，乃格之大忌也。

"The Day and Virtue" has five days: Jiayin, Wuchen, Bingchen, Gengchen, and Renxu. This pattern favors multiple occurrences, but it dislikes刑 (criminal), 冲 (conflict), 破 (destruction), and 害 (harm). It also dislikes official stars and wealth prosperity. It is also unfavorable if another branch joins to form a combination, and even more so if it falls into Kongwang or encounters Qiuqiang. These are all major drawbacks for this pattern.

大抵日德，主人性格慈善。日德俱多，福必豐厚，運行身旺，大是奇絕；若有財官加臨，別尋他格，正能免非橫之禍。

In general, people with the Day De structure are benevolent and kind-hearted. If the Day De appears frequently, their fortune will be abundant. When their destiny is strong and prosperous, it becomes exceptionally remarkable. If there are wealth and official positions in the chart that come into play, then another structure should be used for interpretation, thus avoiding unexpected misfortunes.

若旺氣已衰，運至魁罡，其死必矣！或未發福，運至魁罡，體格既好，防生禍患；一脫於此，必能再發，終力微笑。不可不知也！

If the旺气 has already declined and one's fortune reaches the Qiu Gang place, death is certain. Or if happiness has not yet manifested but the fortune has already arrived at Qiu Gang: although the body is well formed, one must still be cautious of misfortunes; once one escapes this situation, one will surely regain prosperity and eventually smile again. This point should not be unknown.

《詩訣》壬戌庚辰日德宮，甲寅戊丙要騎龍；運逢身旺心慈善，日德居多福自豐。

Renxu and Gengchen are both the palaces of Day Virtue; Jia should be seated in Yin, while Wu and Bing should 'ride the dragon,' meaning they should be seated on Chen. When their fortune meets a strong personal strength, their hearts are benevolent and kind; with many Day Virtue palaces, their blessings will naturally be abundant.

《詩訣》刑沖破害官財旺，空與魁罡會合凶；剋戰孤貧危險甚，縱交發跡命還終。

If there are刑, 冲, 破, or 害, or if the official star or wealth star is too strong, or if it falls into Kongwang and combines with 魁罡, it indicates misfortune. Mutual conflicts and struggles continue, leading to loneliness, poverty, and constant dangers; even if one temporarily meets good fortune and rises in status, their life is ultimately difficult to preserve.

《詩訣》甲寅壬戌與庚辰，丙戊逢辰日德真；不喜空亡嫌祿破，更逢破害與刑沖。

Jia Yin, Ren Xu, and Geng Chen, together with Bing Chen and Wu Chen, these five are the true day virtue. This pattern does not like to fall into Kongwang, dislikes having the official position broken, and especially fears encountering further destruction, harm, and conflict.

《詩訣》丙辰切忌見壬辰，壬戌提防戊戌臨；日坐庚辰與庚戌，甲寅還且慮庚辰。

On Bingchen day, one must avoid seeing Renchen again, as the Ren water will come to overcome Bing. On Renxu day, one should be cautious of Wuxu appearing, as the Wu earth will come to overcome Ren. For those with the day pillar sitting on Gengchen, they should fear encountering Gengxu again. For those with the day pillar being Jiayin, they should also be careful of Gengchen, as the Geng metal will ultimately come to overcome Ji.

《詩訣》日德不喜見魁罡，化成殺曜最難當；局中重見須還疾，運限逢之必定亡。

The day master dislikes encountering the Qiu Gang stars; when they appear, they transform intoInauspicious Sha (fierce killing) stars, which are very difficult to bear. If the chart contains multiple instances of these stars, it indicates illness. When the person's fortune reaches that point, it will certainly result in death.

《詩訣》日德重逢免禍殃，官星切忌見財鄉；更無沖破空刑物，堪作朝中一棟樑。

On the day of a strong moral virtue, if there is a meeting of two such virtues, it can avoid calamities. However, if there is an official star, one must be careful not to see the wealth area again. When wealth is born from the official star, the official star will turn back to attack the self. If there is no disturbance from conflict, destruction, Kongwang, or punishment and harm, this person can be considered as a pillar of the state.
