On the Renshen day, third arrangement, the stem is on You.

課體:元首,顧祖,間傳,泆女。課義:宅敗人衰,末助初財,陰入夜遁,七月懷胎。
"Lesson Pattern" refers to the structural configuration of the divination chart, which in this case encompasses four types: "Original Leader Lesson" is when among the four lessons, only one instance of a lower god overcoming an upper god exists, and this overcoming is taken as the initiating transmission, like an original leader issuing orders, indicating that matters have a central authority; "Ancestral Caretaker Lesson" is when the final transmission returns to support the initial transmission, like descendants remembering ancestors, indicating a renewal of old endeavors; "Intermediate Transmission Lesson" is when the three transmissions progress through intervening positions, indicating that matters require a detour to be completed; "Wayward Woman Lesson" is when the final transmission returns to theLiu He, indicating a woman losing her chastity and having secret affairs. "Lesson Meaning" is a four-character mnemonic summarizing the fortune and misfortune of the chart, stating: the residence is in decline, the population is diminishing; the final transmission of寅wood returns to support the initial transmission and generates wealth; theyin softness Heavenly General in night divination indicates a person fleeing secretly; 午fire is theFetal Spirit of 壬water, and divination in July indicates a woman's pregnancy.
解曰:人宅俱乘敗神,初傳遭口與晝夜將夾克,不由己用矣。賴末傳寅木助初生財,或望有成也。午為口乾妻財,又:天后元武皆屬陰將,故為婦人。夜乘元武,主逃遁也。午又為壬水胎財,在七月為生氣,故主懷孕。
The day stem and day branch are both governed by a deity riding the bathing phase, indicating decline for both person and dwelling. The first transmission is further restricted by the mouth deity and the two groups of heavenly generals above and below, thus losing control over the matter. Fortunately, the final transmission, which is寅 wood, supports the first transmission, enabling it to generate wealth. Therefore, the matter can still be expected to succeed. The午 fire is overcome by the day stem壬 water, making it the wife's wealth. Moreover, the two heavenly generals, Heavenly Empress and Black Tortoise, are both yin deities, so they are represented as women. In a night divination, the wealth爻 is riding Black Tortoise, indicating that the person may secretly take away belongings. 午 is also the wealth generated from theFetal Spirit of 壬 water, and in July it is in its life phase, so the divination suggests that the wife is pregnant.
斷曰:此元首間傳之卦,為顧祖格,有復舊業之象,凡謀皆吉,但間傳逆退,必有留連阻隔。晝占初起火後,末歸六合,名為泆女,陰私不正。況干支皆乘沐浴,是為人宅俱敗。占身氣血衰弱,占宅屋舍荒頹,干上酉為婢類,或緣酒色破家。
This is a lesson combining "Yuan Shou" and "Jian Chuan," and it also matches the "Gu Zu" pattern, indicating a situation with the appearance of restoring old family businesses. Any major plans are generally auspicious. However, the "Jian Chuan" isretrograde and retreating, meaning there will certainly be complications and delays in the middle. When divining by day, the initial transmission is initiated by fire and the Heavenly Empress, and the final transmission falls on Liu He, which is called "Yu Nu," indicating secret affairs and improper actions. Moreover, both the day stem and the day branch are occupied by the bathing and declining energy, which signifies both the person and the house suffering losses. When divining about oneself, it indicates weak vitality; when divining about the house, it suggests the dwelling is in disrepair. The酉 metal on the day stem represents female servants, and the family business is often ruined due to alcohol and lust.
天時:晝占雨多時見日,夜占久陰。家宅:防破敗及婢僕奸逃。婚姻:不宜成。胎產:七月占妻孕吉,正二月不吉。功名:待時。求財:得財,即為酒色所耗。疾病:心腎兩家之疾。失脫:主繫婦女所竊,逃去難尋。出行:利東方。行人:占弟兄即至。爭訟:主奸拐不明,防發覺舊事。兵戰:防偷營劫寨。
Heavenly conditions: If divined during the day, there will be much rain, with the sun occasionally breaking through the clouds. If divined at night, there will be prolonged darkness with no clearing. Home affairs: There is a risk of family decline and servants committing adultery and fleeing. Marriage: It is not advisable to form a marriage. Pregnancy: If divined in the seventh month, it is auspicious for the wife to be pregnant; however, if divined in the first or second month, it is inauspicious. Official rank: It is best to wait for the right opportunity. Seeking wealth: Wealth may be obtained, but it will quickly be spent on alcohol and women. Disease: The illness affects the heart and kidney meridians. Loss: The lost item is most likely stolen by a woman, and the person has already fled, making recovery difficult. Travel: It is favorable to go east. Travelers: If asking about a brother, he will arrive immediately. Disputes: They often arise from unclear cases of deception and fraud, and there is a risk of old cases being exposed. Warfare: Be cautious of the enemy stealing camp and attacking the camp.
畢法云:賓主不投刑在上,干支皆敗勢傾頹;初遭夾克不由己,后合占婚豈用媒。課經云:壬申日,巳將加未,夫行年甲寅,妻行年己亥,上下相生作合,乘本命旺氣,為繁昌課,一名德孕課。中黃經云:天后相刑闇昧生,不逢占克必婚成。
The "Bifa Fu" says: "The guest and host do not align, with mutual punishment above," meaning the heavenly stem and earthly branch of the day have their upper gods mutually punishing each other, and they do not harmonize. "Both the heavenly stem and earthly branch are in decline, with the momentum collapsing," meaning the person and the dwelling are both in a state of decline, with their momentum collapsing. "The initial transmission is surrounded by upper and lower punishment, and the matter is not under one's control," meaning the first transmission is surrounded by upper and lower punishment, and the matter is not under one's control. "Later conjunction indicates marriage, without the need for a matchmaker," meaning the heavenly empress and the six heavens are both present, and the marriage naturally comes about, without the need for a matchmaker to facilitate it. The "Ke Jing" says: On the Renshen day, with the巳 (Snake) general added to the Wei (Earth Ox) hour, the husband's year is Jiayin, and the wife's year is Jihai. The upper and lower are mutually generating and harmonizing, and they are riding on the prosperous momentum of their own destiny. This is called the "Fan Chang Ke," also known as the "De Yun Ke," which indicates abundant descendants. The "Zhonghuang Jing" says: When the heavenly empress is in mutual punishment with the god it is upon, private affairs are thus initiated. As long as it is not met with restriction, the marriage will certainly be concluded.
On the Renshen day, the fourth arrangement: the stem is on the Shen.
課體:元首,病胎,不備,自在。課義:坐謀有益,動用費力,元虎臨身,稍有憂惕。
The lesson patterns include three other types besides the "original head" type. "Sick fetus lesson" occurs when the巳 (Si) is placed on the申 (Shen), with the fetal god accompanied by illness, indicating inner unease. "Incomplete lesson" arises when the four lessons are not complete, resulting in an incomplete structure. "Free lesson" happens when the god on the day branch is placed on the day stem and then returns to generate the day stem, meaning others take the initiative to benefit me, and if I remain still, I can gain advantage. The lesson meaning states: sitting still and maintaining existing conditions brings benefits, but once one starts to act, effort is required. The twoInauspicious General (malevolent generals), Yuanwu (Black Tortoise) and Baihu (White Tiger), are positioned on the self's position, causing some anxiety in the mind.
解曰:長生臨日,坐守可以得益,若動而發用,取初之財,反逢旬遁己上克傷。日干中傳脫氣,末傳旬空,費力萬端,不能收效也。晝將元武,夜將白虎,乘申臨干,不免稍有憂惕。幸坐空亡,不為大害。
Shen metal is the place of growth for Ren water. Now the god of growth is sitting on the day stem, so by staying and maintaining stability one can gain advantage. But if it moves and initiates the first transmission to take the wealth, it will instead meet the己 earth obtained from the ten-day cycle above, which will injure oneself. The day stem is weakened in the middle transmission, and the final transmission falls into the empty void, so no matter how much effort is put in, there will be no result. In daytime divination, the Black Tortoise is riding on Shen, and in nighttime divination, the White Tiger is riding on Shen; both凶 generals are pressing on the day stem, causing some worry. Fortunately, they are sitting on the empty void, so their harmful power is nullified and they cannot cause great harm.
斷曰:此亦為元首之卦,名病元胎。身喜心憂,兩人共事,末得和同。干支乘刑,為動履不寧之象。若臣忠子孝,扶綱植常,身名俱泰。苟不能忘私,虧心暗室,終失便宜。又兩陽爭一陰,各懷奸私,情意相背。處家應物,尤宜光明嚴謹,庶免其咎。
This is also known as the "Original Head" divination, with another name being "Diseased Original Embryo." On the surface, the person appears happy, but inside they are secretly anxious. Two people working together will eventually fail to get along. The day stem and day branch are in mutual conflict, indicating a state of unrest in all aspects of life. If one remains loyal as a subject and filial as a son, upholds the principles and establishes the proper way, both personal safety and reputation will be secure. However, if one cannot let go of personal desires and compromises conscience in private, they will ultimately suffer losses. This situation also represents two yang spirits competing for one yin spirit, each harboring private interests, leading to estrangement. Therefore, in family life and social interactions, one must be upright and strict in conduct to avoid wrongdoing.
天時:晝占多風,夜占多雨。家宅:人口小不安。婚姻:未宜。胎產:主產前多病,產後安。功名:順利,應試亦吉,第三場小心。求財:可得。投謁:有事干之,恐失和氣。
Heavenly Time: If you ask about something during the day, there is likely wind; if you ask at night, there is likely rain. Family Affairs: There is some unrest among the younger members of the family. Marriage: It is not suitable at the present time. Pregnancy and Childbirth: There will be much illness before giving birth, but after childbirth, everything will be safe. Career and Examinations: The official career is smooth, and taking exams is auspicious, but one must be careful in the third examination. Seeking Wealth: One can succeed in obtaining wealth. Seeking Favor: If you go to ask someone for help with something, you may end up hurting the relationship.
疾病:主寒熱相侵,難以速愈。失脫:尋得物已不全;逃亡自歸。出行:遠行忌二、六、十月。行人:留滯未歸。爭訟:防刑獄,利為客者。兵戰:晝占吉,拓地千里;夜占軍擾不寧。
Disease: Cold and heat are both attacking, making it difficult to recover quickly. Loss: Things may be recovered but will be incomplete; those who have run away will return on their own. Travel: Long journeys should avoid the second, sixth, and tenth months. Travelers: Those away will remain detained and have not yet returned. Disputes: Be cautious of legal troubles; this situation favors the later party rather than the one who acts first. Military conflict: If asked during the day, it is auspicious and can lead to gaining territory thousands of miles; if asked at night, there will be confusion and unrest within the army.
畢法云:賓主不投刑在上。課經云:支加干上而生干,為自在格,亦可作俱生格,所謂互生俱生凡事益也。袖中金云:巳加申為病胎,又名怕課。胎孕有病,安得不怕,主身喜心憂。
The "Bifa Fu" says: "The guest and host do not match if the superior god is in conflict," meaning that if the Day Stem and the Day Branch have a conflicting superior god, the host and guest do not harmonize. The "Ke Jing" says that when the Day Branch is placed above the Day Stem and generates the Day Stem, this is called "Zizai Ge," which can also be regarded as "Jusheng Ge," meaning mutual generation between each other, so that everything is beneficial. The "Xiu Zhong Jin" says that when Si is placed above Shen, it is called "Bingtai," also known as "Pake." Since the fetal development is already sickly, how can it not be frightening? Therefore, it indicates that although there seems to be good news on the surface, there is hidden worry in the heart.
On the Renshen day, the fifth layout: the stem is on the hexagram of Wei.
課體:重審,潤下,勵德,斬關,狡童,六儀。課義:所謀駔詐,妻財最怕,夜貴在日,晝貴居夜。
This lesson has six types: "Re-examination Lesson" refers to a situation where there are multiple instances of being overcome, requiring careful consideration to determine the correct use; "Moistening Down Lesson" occurs when the three transmissions form the water trinity of Shen-Zi-Chen, indicating the nature of water flowing downward; "Encouraging Virtue Lesson" is when the nobleman is located at the卯 or酉 position, indicating the need to cultivate virtue; "Breaking the Gate Lesson" is when the Tiangang (Chen) initiates the transmission, showing a forceful breakthrough; "Cunning Youth Lesson" indicates improper relationships between men and women and youthful misconduct; "Six Instruments Lesson" is when the deity of the beginning of the ten-day period enters the lesson, like the ceremonial attendants of the ten-day period. The lesson meaning states: the matters intended are full of deceit, most fearing harm to wife and wealth; the day nobleman is in the night position, and the night nobleman is in the day position, with both noblemen misplaced.
解曰:日干之水孟脫支申之氣,而反被墓干支上之辰,是所謀皆欺詐而不實也。三傳水局與日同類,有妨妻財。歌云:日干同類入傳中,財帛冰消妻妾凶者是也。巳乃日貴,居於夜地。卯乃夜貴,居於晝方。兩貴蹉跌,事多參差也。未乘太陰加亥,主小兒婚姻。
The day stem is Ren water, which originally drains the energy of the day branch Shen metal. Now it is instead buried under the dry branch Chen, which is the water tomb, and is collected above the stem and branch. Therefore, all schemes are false and full of deceit. The three transmissions form the water triad of Shen-Zi-Chen, which shares the same element as the day stem, leading to competition for wealth and harm to wife and money. The verse says, "When the day stem is of the same type in the transmission, wealth disappears and wife and concubine suffer misfortune," which describes exactly this situation. Si is the nobleman of the day, but now it is in the position of the night; Mao is the nobleman of the night, but now it is in the position of the day. Both noblemen are misplaced and thus things are often inconsistent. The soil of Wei, riding on Tai Yin, is placed on Hai, indicating matters concerning the marriage of a child.
斷曰:此重審之卦,局名潤下。末辰二土比和,晝將龍蛇同類,主喜慶之事,重見疊出。貴人立酉,亦名勵德。天罡臨支,亦名斬關。君子升遷,宵人遠遁。夜占為狡童之格,有玷倫常也。水歸冬旺,若遇其時,百事遂意。
This is a "Chong Shen" divination, with the three transmissions forming a pattern called "Run Xia." The final transmission, Chen, harmonizes with another earth deity without conflict. During the day, the "Qing Long" and "Teng Snake" belong to the same category, indicating consecutive and overlapping joyful events. The Heavenly Nobleman is positioned at You, making this pattern also known as "Li De"; the Tiangang Chen earth deity is located at the day branch, making it also called "Zhan Guan." A gentleman divining this would indicate promotion and official advancement; a petty person divining it would suggest fleeing far away. If divined at night, it becomes the "Jiao Tong" pattern, which implies a suspicion of violating human relationships and moral standards. Water is strong in winter, so if divined during winter, all matters will be fulfilled as desired.
天時:行雨,沾足。家宅:近水占。婚姻:主小兒結婚,餘晝占和合,夜占不正。胎產:主婢妾私孕。功名:有成。求財:難得。投謁:防笑中有刀。疾病:難愈。失脫:難獲,逃亡自歸。出行:多見周折。行人:留戀他方。爭訟:任彼詐謀,終歸無用,靜以待之。兵戰:得勝。
Heavenly conditions: It will rain heavily. Family residence: The house is near water. Marriage: It indicates that a younger relative will marry; in other cases, if divined during the day, it indicates harmony, but if divined at night, the matter involves something improper. Pregnancy: Indicates a servant or concubine is secretly pregnant. Achieving fame and status: It can be achieved. Seeking wealth: It is difficult to obtain. Visiting someone: Be cautious of someone who smiles but has hidden intentions. Illness: It is difficult to recover from. Loss: It is difficult to retrieve, and those who have run away will return on their own. Travel: There will be many obstacles on the way. A traveler: He is fond of staying in a foreign place and refuses to return. Disputes: Allow the other party to use any deceitful tactics, but ultimately they will be of no use; just wait quietly. Warfare: It is possible to win.
畢法云:合中犯煞蜜中砒,貴人蹉跌事參差,后合占婚豈用媒。課經云:一日內全無順貴人者,凡告貴竟無相允意,不宜進前,進則反挫。玉成歌云:三傳帶合需求事,類就其干眾所占。
The "Bifa Fu" says: "When a conjunction is tainted by malevolent forces, it is like砒霜 mixed into honey." This means that within theLiu He, there is aInauspicious Sha, just as砒霜 is mixed into honey. "When noblemen are misplaced, affairs become disorderly." This indicates that two noblemen are out of place, causing confusion and disorder in matters. "When Heavenly Empress and六合 appear together in a marriage divination, a媒人 is not needed." This means that when Heavenly Empress andLiu He are both present, a媒人 is unnecessary for marriage. The "Ke Jing" states: If there are no noblemen in the correct order within a day, then any appeal to a nobleman will not be responded to, and it is not advisable to proceed further, as advancing would lead to setbacks. The "Yucheng Ge" says: When the three transmissions are accompanied byLiu He and there is a matter to be pursued, the category should be determined based on the day stem, indicating a matter involving many people.
On the Renshen day, sixth arrangement, the stem is in the morning.
課體:涉害,度厄,四絕。課義:午被擠排,夜損妻財,惟妨長上,手足防災。
This lesson has three types: "Involved Harm Lesson" occurs when there are many instances of mutual control, and one must compare the depth of each instance of harm, selecting the one suffering the most severe damage as the initiating transmission; "Crossing Obstacles Lesson" requires first overcoming one major disaster; "Four Extinctions Lesson" occurs when the god riding the horse is located in an extinction position, indicating a complete interruption of energy. The lesson meaning states: the fire at noon is squeezed and pushed by the upper and lower positions; during the night, the wife's wealth is damaged; especially harmful to superiors and elders, and brothers and siblings should also be cautious of disasters.
解曰:干上是午,發用亦是午,兩午皆日之妻財。晝天后,夜元武,皆日之同類,既遭夾克,又臨絕地。夜遇為真元武,尤有損於妻財也。申為長生父母,而臨中傳丑墓,午既克申,丑又墓之。申長生無氣,上乘夜虎,非長上之災而何。
The day stem is壬 water, and the upper position is午 fire. The initial transmission is also午 fire. Both午 fires are things that the壬 water can overcome, and they are both considered妻财. In the daytime divination,午 is occupied by「Heavenly Empress」, and in the nighttime divination, it is occupied by「Black Tortoise」. These two heavenly generals belong to water, the same as the day stem壬 water, and they will come to compete for the妻财. Moreover, the午财 is being restricted by both above and below, and it is in the绝 position. In the nighttime divination,「Black Tortoise」is occupying water and is in charge, which is the real「Black Tortoise」, causing especially severe damage to妻财. The申 metal is originally the long life of壬 water, symbolizing parents, but now it is on the丑 in the middle transmission. 丑 is the墓 of metal. Since午 fire is overcoming申, the丑 earth also buries it. The申, which is the long life, has no life qi, and on top of it is「White Tiger」in the nighttime divination. This is not something else but a disaster for the superior elder.
斷曰:此涉害之卦,亦名度厄。三下賊上,不利尊長。凡事險阻艱難,必歷盡風霜,方得生機萌動。日上陰陽相害,支上陰陽相合,主他人投分,自家失和。況初遭夾克,全不由己。占者務須養晦深藏,知機引退,庶得絕處逢生。
This is a "She Hai" divination, also known as "Du E." The three lower deities harm the upper deities, which is unfavorable for family elders. All matters are fraught with difficulties and obstacles; one must endure hardships and trials before there is any chance of success. On the day stem side, the yin and yang spirits are mutually harmful, while on the day branch side, the yin and yang spirits are mutually harmonious. Therefore, outsiders are willing to befriend and associate with the person, but within the family, there is a loss of harmony. Moreover, the first transmission is trapped between upper and lower constraints, making it impossible to take the lead. Those who receive this divination must remain humble, conceal their abilities, and withdraw when the opportunity arises, only then can they hope to find salvation in desperate situations.
天時:久雨則難晴,求雨雨亦小。家宅:主有文書口舌之事,宅舍借人作踐。婚姻:美中不足。胎產:利七月,占生女吉,男防不育。功名:有奇遇終未顯達。求財:有財,亦為他人費盡,己不能主。
Heavenly Conditions: After a long period of rain, it is difficult for the weather to clear up. If one prays for rain, the rain will be very light. Home: There will be disputes over documents and verbal conflicts. The house is rented out to others and is damaged. Marriage: Although it is good, there are always some shortcomings. Pregnancy and childbirth: Asking about the seventh month is favorable. If it is for a daughter, it is auspicious; if it is for a son, there is a need to be cautious about raising him. Achieving fame and status: There will be unexpected opportunities, but ultimately one will not achieve prominence. Seeking wealth: There is indeed wealth, but it is all spent on others, and one cannot make decisions about it oneself.
疾病:不利尊長,作福可挽。失脫:不見,逃者捉歸。出行:投人歡洽,正二月不利出門。行人:占長輩即歸。爭訟:主為盜田土之事,有意外昭雪,或得貴力取勝。兵戰:不利。
Disease: It is not favorable for superiors, but prayers and rituals can still bring good fortune and reverse the situation. Loss: Objects cannot be found, but people who have run away can be captured back. Travel: Going to visit someone will be welcomed and treated kindly, but it is not suitable to go out in the first and second months. Traveler: Asking about an elder, the person will return immediately. Dispute: It is mostly about theft of land, there may be unexpected clearing of the case, or winning by relying on the help of a nobleman. Warfare: Unfavorable.
畢法云:初遭夾克不由己,人宅坐墓甘招晦,三傳遞生人舉薦。課經云:丑為腹,午胎在丑下,為腹胎格。訂訛云:仕者占此,主事從鄰邑發動,山鵲合群,同氣相親之兆。神將吉,因動成喜;神將凶,面合心離。
The "Bifa Fu" says: "At the beginning, being sandwiched between Jia and Ke, one cannot act on one's own will," meaning that the first transmission is trapped between Jia and Ke, and the matter is not under one's control; "The person and the dwelling are seated under the墓神, which invites gloom," meaning that both the person and the dwelling are located under theTomb Spirit, and thus can only suffer from bad luck; "The three transmissions pass on to each other, and someone will recommend the person," meaning that the three transmissions generate each other, and someone will come forward to recommend the person. The "Ke Jing" says: "The earthly branch Chou represents the abdomen of a person, and Wu, which is the胎神, is located under Chou, so it is called the 'Abdominal胎格'." The "Ding'e" says: When an official receives this divination, the matter often starts from nearby prefectures and counties, like a group of mountain magpies gathering together, which is a sign of mutual affinity; if the riding heavenly general is auspicious, then good fortune will arise from this movement; if the riding heavenly general is inauspicious, it means that although there is an appearance of agreement, there is actually a lack of harmony within.
On the Renshen day, the seventh arrangement: the stem is on the巳 position.
課體:反吟,無依,知一,勵德,元胎。課義:交居先絕,前脫後脫,元合晝逢,兩貴不悅。
This lesson has five types, besides the already mentioned "Lide" lesson. "Fanyin lesson" is when the gods in the Heaven and Earth discs are in conflict, causing matters to go back and forth. "Wuyi lesson" is when all four lessons are in mutual conflict, lacking support. "Zhiyi lesson" is when among the multiple conflicts, the one that shares the same type as the day stem is chosen for the initiating transmission, showing a focus on one thing. "Yuantai lesson" is when the initiating transmission falls in the four first months (Yin, Shen, Si, Hai), indicating the beginning of energy movement. The lesson meaning says: the position of crossing vehicles first falls in a place of decline; the first and final transmissions are one before the other, both draining my energy; the Black Tortoise and Liu He both steal energy; the two noblemen are each being overcome, and neither is happy.
解曰:支於交居絕地而寅發用,則支為先絕。但初末皆寅,前後盜脫日干之氣。申晝乘六合,亦能脫干。兩寅乘元武,尤為盜氣也。日貴巳乘亥,亥水克巳火。夜貴卯乘酉,酉金克卯木。兩貴受克,其不悅宜矣。支上寅作盜氣,乘元必家人作盜。
The day branch is at a place where it meets the vehicle, and it is precisely in the绝 (decline) position. The initial transmission is寅 wood, so the day branch first cuts off itself. Both the initial and final transmissions are寅 wood, one before and one after, continuously draining the energy of the day stem壬 water. The申 metal in daytime divination is riding on「六合」, which belongs to wood, and thus also drains my energy. On top of the two寅 woods,「元武」 is also riding, and since「元武」 is the thief god, it steals energy even more. The nobleman in daytime is巳, but it is now on亥, and亥 water overcomes巳 fire; the nobleman in nighttime is卯, but it is now on酉, and酉 metal overcomes卯 wood: both noblemen are injured, naturally not happy. The寅 wood on the day branch is both the thief god and riding「元武」, so it must be a family member stealing.
斷曰:此無依之卦,用稱知一,格合元胎。貴臨卯酉,亦名勵德。課體反覆不寧,凡事不可煩擾黷亂。宜上愛其下,下敬其上,息爭去怨,自然福至災消。干支皆賊,其上兩陰神又皆克其下,反吟四孟,曰絕元胎。寅巳申亥,復相穿害,可不慎哉。
This is a "No Support" lesson, using the method called "Knowing One," and the structure also matches "Original Embryo." The nobleman is present at the卯 and酉 positions, so it is also called "Encouraging Virtue." The entire lesson pattern is repeatedly turbulent and unsettled, so nothing should be disturbed or caused further chaos. Those in higher positions should care for their subordinates, while those in lower positions should respect their superiors. Calm disputes and eliminate grievances, and blessings will naturally come, while misfortunes will naturally dissipate. The day stem and day branch are both attacked by thieves; their two upper yin spirits also attack their lower spirits. The four young positions all reverse chant, which is called "Cutting Off the Original Embryo." The寅, 巳, 申, and 亥 positions also mutually clash and harm each other, so how can one be careless?
天時:晝占有雨,夜占為電、為風。家宅:主有原主加價,宜與結絕。婚姻:主佳兒佳婦,惜為強暴阻隔,難合。胎產:忌正月占,防胎損不實。功名:晝占吉,夜占反覆。求財:主交關奴僕刑獄之事,先失後得。
Heavenly Time: If you ask about rain during the day, it is favorable; if you ask about thunder and lightning or strong winds at night, it is unfavorable. Family Residence: The original owner of the property may come to demand a higher price, so it is best to settle the matter once and for all. Marriage: The man and woman are both excellent partners, but they are obstructed by a strong and rude person, making it difficult for them to unite. Pregnancy: It is inauspicious to ask about pregnancy in the first lunar month, as there is a risk of harm to the fetus or an unstable pregnancy. Official Rank: Asking during the day is favorable, but asking at night indicates uncertainty and fluctuation. Seeking Wealth: It is often related to matters involving buying and selling servants or resolving legal disputes, with loss preceding gain.
疾病:占妻及老人、小兒不吉,餘反覆,主飲食不進。失脫:將露。出行:宜為告貴結舊事,不宜為謀祿出。行人:在道。爭訟:宜和。兵戰:無利,宜息。
Disease: Divination concerning the wife, the elderly, and children is unfavorable; for others, the illness will be recurrent and the person will lose appetite. Loss: The lost item's whereabouts will soon be revealed. Travel: It is favorable to go out in order to seek help from a nobleman or to settle old matters, but unfavorable to travel far in pursuit of official positions. Traveler: The traveler is already on the way home. Dispute: It is favorable to reconcile. Military conflict: There is no benefit, and it is advisable to cease hostilities.
畢法云:兩貴受克難干貴,彼此猜忌害相隨。課經云:十月占寅為月將,照破元武,最宜擒賊,或乘天空尤佳。精蘊云:此課是為交車合財,惟宜以財交涉。又絕神作日財,宜結絕財物事。
The *Bifa Fu* says: "When both noblemen are harmed, it is difficult to seek help from the nobleman," meaning that the nobleman of both day and night is injured, making it hard to rely on the nobleman to accomplish matters. "Each suspects the other, causing mutual harm" refers to mutual suspicion and harm between the two sides. The *Ke Jing* says: In October, when the tiger (寅) is the month general, the light of the month general can reveal the hidden black tortoise, making it most suitable for capturing thieves. If the black tortoise is also riding the "sky," it is even better. The *Jing Yun* says: This hexagram involves a meeting of the carriage and a combination that brings wealth, suitable only for dealing with matters involving money. Furthermore, the absolute spirit acts as the wealth hexagram of the day stem, suitable for concluding matters involving money.
On the Renshen day, the eighth arrangement: the stem is on the辰 (Chen) position.
課體:元首,斬關,天罡。課義:墓干墓支,人晦宅晦,動則災危,三傳不美。
The lesson pattern is the original head and the cutting gate, plus the "Tiangang lesson" — taking the Tiangang star Chen as the initiating transmission. The lesson meaning says: the tomb god covers both the day stem and the day branch, so the person's head is confused and the house is also confused; any movement brings disaster and danger; throughout the three transmissions, from beginning to middle to end, there is no good place.
解曰:辰為水墓,丑為金墓,今干壬支申,各居本墓之下。經云:墓覆日辰,人宅昏沉是也。三傳屢動而進,初逢墓鬼,中逢敗氣,末逢脫氣,步步生災,時時危厲,謂之美也得乎。
The branch Chen is the storage for water, and the branch Chou is the storage for metal; now the day stem Ren belongs to water and the day branch Shen belongs to metal, and both are exactly resting upon their respective storage positions. The Classic of Divination says, "The storage god covers the day stem and day branch, causing both person and dwelling to be dull and unprosperous," which refers precisely to this type of divination. The three transmissions proceed continuously forward: the first transmission meets the storage god along with the official ghost, the middle transmission meets the bathing and declining energy, and the final transmission meets the leaking god. Each step brings another layer of disaster, and at every moment there is danger. How can such a sequence of transmissions be considered favorable?
斷曰:此元首之卦,亦名斬關,日墓覆日,辰墓覆辰,上下昏蒙,人宅屯晦。義辰加壬為用,是辰之華蓋作日之墓神。凡占身位,多見蹭蹬。反賴日墓坐空,天后並臨,與我同類當時陰助。占者總宜廣積陰功,見機時動。遇危疑交戰之地,惟理是順,則合元首之吉,大服群情。常人占之,亦得逃災脫禍。
This is the "Yuan Shou" lesson, also known as "Zhan Guan." The day stem's墓 is covered by the day stem, and the day branch's墓 is covered by the day branch, resulting in a dark and gloomy situation, with both the person and the house being trapped and obstructed. Taking the辰 and placing it on the壬 to initiate the transmission, it uses the辰 star, known as "Huagai," as the墓 deity for the day stem. When questioning one's own situation, it is mostly full of hardships and obstacles. Fortunately, the day stem's墓 falls in the Kongwang position, and the Heavenly Empress is also present. The Heavenly Empress belongs to water, which is the same as me, and thus assists from the shadows. Those who receive this lesson should prioritize accumulating Yin Virtue and act when the timing is right. In situations of danger and difficulty, or when there is conflict between parties, following reason and adapting accordingly aligns with the auspicious meaning of the Yuan Shou lesson, allowing the people to be convinced. Even ordinary people who receive this lesson can avoid misfortune.
天時:春季占大雨。家宅:主塵暗弊陋,婦人爭權。婚姻:主女性悍潑,不宜。胎產:主繫鬼胎,有驚。功名:主有意外遭際,為人所破。求財:難得,得即耗於女人。
Heavenly circumstances: In spring, there will be heavy rain. For the household: the house is dusty and dim, old and shabby, with the woman in the house fighting for authority. For marriage: the woman is fierce and domineering, not suitable for marriage. For pregnancy: there are mostly false pregnancies, and there will be a frightening experience. For official rank: there will be unexpected encounters, but someone will interfere and ruin it. For seeking wealth: it is difficult to obtain, and even if obtained, it will be spent on women.
疾病:先重後輕,主昏暈否塞。失脫:難獲。出行:謁貴無益,利南方,勿近婦人。行人:不來,在彼處不如意。爭訟:事因陰人起,或爭墳地,宜解散吉。兵戰:主軍中有陰氣,威不能振,且不寧。
Disease: The condition is severe at first and then becomes lighter; the symptoms include dizziness and blurred vision, and blockage of qi flow. Loss: The lost item is difficult to recover. Travel: Going to pay homage to a nobleman is not beneficial; it is better to go south, and on the way, do not approach women. A traveler: He will not return; he is not content in that place. Dispute: The matter is caused by a woman, or it is about fighting over a burial ground; it is auspicious to resolve the dispute through mediation. Military conflict: There is a gloomy atmosphere within the army, the military morale is not high, and the soldiers are restless.
畢法云:首尾相見始終宜,干墓並關人宅廢;干支乘墓各昏迷,華蓋覆日人昏晦。課經云:傳墓入墓,自明投暗,如人下井,一腳深於一腳。玉成歌云:墓神加日身災滯。又云:斬關遊子身當動。
The "Bifa Fu" says: "The beginning and end meet, indicating a favorable start and conclusion," meaning the first and final transmissions correspond with each other, and the matter has a beginning and an end. "The day stem and its墓神 are together with the斩关, indicating people and their homes are abandoned," meaning theTomb Spirit of the day stem and the斩关 appear together, causing people and their homes to be ruined. "The day stem and day branch each ride the墓神, leading to confusion on both sides," meaning the day stem and day branch each have theTomb Spirit, resulting in confusion on both sides. "The Huagai star covers the day stem, causing people's affairs to be obscured," meaning the Huagai star covers the day stem, making human affairs dark and unclear. The "Ke Jing" says: when the three transmissions enter the墓神 and descend into the墓, it is like a person going down a well, step by step deeper into darkness. The "Yucheng Ge" says: when theTomb Spirit presses upon the day stem, the person suffers misfortune and encounters obstacles; it also says: when encountering the斩关, a traveler should set out.
On the Renshen day, the ninth division: the stem is on the卯 (Mao) position.
課體:重審,曲直。課義:刑害無禮,脫空後至,夜將賴傳,晝占弛廢。
The lesson pattern is a re-examination, combined with the "Curved and Straight" pattern—the three transmissions form the wood triad of Hai, Mao, and Wei, which embodies the nature of wood being curved and straight, ascending upward. The lesson meaning states: the conflict between Zi and Mao, and the harm between Shen and Hai, lead to mutual loss of propriety and injury; followed by the leakage of energy and the void; if the divination is done at night and the heavenly general belongs to earth, it can still be relied upon as the wood triad controls it; but if the divination is done during the day, the void is again occupied by the void, leading to everything being slack and neglected.
解曰:子卯相刑而賓主不投,申亥相害而彼此猜忌。中傳旬空,末傳坐空,而復脫干之氣。刑害既在其前,脫空又隨其後,何利之有。夜占將皆土,屬與三傳木局,反有剋制之官,晝占則空上乘空,空脫馳廢,何可當也。
The trigrams Zi and Mao form the Punishment of Impropriety, indicating that the host and guest are not in harmony. The trigrams Shen and Hai are mutually harmful, suggesting mutual suspicion between the host and guest. The Middle Transmission falls in the旬空, and the Final Transmission is also in the Kongwang. Moreover, both are draining the energy of the Day Stem Ren water. With punishments and harms ahead and depletion and emptiness following, there is no advantage to be gained. When the divination is done at night, the Heavenly Generals are all of earth type, opposing the wood trinity of the Three Transmissions. Wood can overcome earth, thus providing a restraining force against the official ghost. However, when the divination is done during the day, the Kongwang is again overlaid with Kongwang, resulting in both emptiness and depletion. Everything becomes slack and neglected, making it impossible to bear responsibility.
斷曰:此重審之卦,合曲直之局,事多不順,或起婦人,先屈後伸,始難終易。蓋木以水為根,水日雖與局相宜。然亦盜日之氣。又況刑害錯見,空脫相隨。凡百謀為,鮮能遂意。君子知機而動,縱使吉事未成,亦得凶事消散也。
This is a "Chongshen" divination lesson, with the three transmissions forming the "Quzhi" wood pattern. Matters tend to be unsmooth, often originating from women; one first suffers委屈 and then eventually gains relief, starting with difficulty and ending with ease. Wood relies on water as its foundation; when the壬 water day stem is involved in a wood pattern, it is naturally suitable. However, excessive wood may reverse to steal and drain the energy of the day stem. Moreover, punishments and harms are intermingled, with empty voids and energy leakage following closely. Any endeavor is unlikely to meet expectations. A gentleman who can discern the right moment to act can, even if good things are not accomplished, prevent or dissipate misfortune.
天時:有風而雨少。家宅:主有口舌文書之事,防小人。婚姻:夜占吉,宜緩成。胎產:主婢生子,防有虛驚。功名:試者可高第,仕宦防章劾。求財:多耗散,若係子息幼輩之財,獲利必倍。
Heavenly Conditions: There will be strong winds but little rain. Family Home: There may be disputes over words and legal disputes, be cautious of small people. Marriage: If divined at night, it is favorable; it is advisable to proceed slowly and carefully. Pregnancy: It indicates the birth of a female child, be careful of a false alarm. Career: Those taking an exam may rank high, but officials should beware of being accused in a memorial. Seeking Wealth: There will be much loss, but if the wealth comes from children or younger relatives, the profit will certainly be doubled.
疾病:主肝氣傷脾,或眩暈,新病凶。失脫:主奴婢盜竊,在道路深林。出行:宜緩。行人:占幼輩立至。爭訟:主口舌田土之事,宜解散。兵戰:無大功,安營不宜近林木。
Disease: The illness indicates liver qi rising and injuring the spleen and stomach, or dizziness and vertigo, with a dangerous new illness. Loss: The lost item was taken by a servant or maid, and is hidden by the roadside or in the deep forest. Travel: It is suitable to travel slowly. Traveler: The person being asked about is a younger relative, and will arrive immediately. Dispute: The dispute is mostly about words and land, and it is suitable to resolve the dispute through harmony. Warfare: No great achievements can be made, and the camp should not be set near the woods.
畢法云:賓主不投刑在上,人宅皆死各衰羸,合中犯煞蜜中砒。課經云:胎坐長生,大宜占孕,不利占產。神應經云:壬申日,末傳見卯是旬丁,為子息之財。三車一覽云:朱雀作日鬼,雖不臨干,如臨年命,亦作雀鬼格,防有彈章。
The "Bifa Fu" says: "The guest and host do not match, with the superior god being in conflict," meaning that the superior god is in conflict with the other, and the host and guest are not in harmony; "both person and dwelling are in death qi, each in decline," meaning that the day stem and day branch are both under death qi, and both person and dwelling are weak; "a harmful spirit is mixed within the六合, like砒霜 mixed in honey," meaning that a harmful spirit is mixed within theLiu He, like砒霜 mixed in honey. The "Ke Jing" says: theFetal Spirit is seated above theGrowth, which is most suitable for divining about pregnancy, but not suitable for divining about childbirth. The "Shen Ying Jing" says: on theRenshen day, if theFinal Transmission shows卯, then卯 is the丁神 of this旬, belonging to the wealth of the子孙 route. The "San Che Yi Lian" says: if theVermilion Bird acts as the官鬼 of the day stem, even if it is not directly on the day stem, as long as it is on the person's行年 or本命, it is still considered the "Qu Ge" pattern, and one should beware of impeachment petitions.
