Taiyi (Si) falling on different positions has the same auspicious and inauspicious implications as Shengguang (Wu) in the next section. Therefore, the method of interpretation can be applied as in that section. This is because Si and Wu both belong to the fire element, and the nature of the two deities is similar.

登明所臨無定，蓋與日辰相合，以人元、貴神、將神、地分定之。

Dengming (Hai) does not have fixed interpretations for the positions it governs, because it always needs to be combined with the Day Branch of the divination day. The judgment must be made based on the generation, overcoming, strength, and decline of the four elements: the heavenly stem, the noble god, the general god, and the earthly division. Therefore, the original text does not list specific entries under this heading, but only explains the principle for making judgments: when encountering Dengming, one should return to examine the four elements themselves for the judgment, and should not be bound by fixed sayings.
