On the Wuxu day, seventh arrangement: stem on Hai

課體：反吟，元胎，無依，斬關，寡宿。課義：我去彼絕，凡占歇滅，病訟皆凶，行人被截。

The heavenly deities on the Heaven Plate are all positioned in the opposite positions of the Earth Plate, hence called Reverse Chant; the combination of巳 and亥 indicates a gathering of qi and a desire for movement but not yet formed, hence called Yuan Tai; the upper and lower parts of the Four Lessons are all in opposition, with no support, hence called Wu Yi; the presence of Tiangang in the lesson indicates a direct path, hence called Zhan Guan; the Wuxu stem and branch are inherently isolated, and when encountering a dispersing conflict, hence called Guasu. The lesson meaning says: I move forward on this side, while the other side is a dead end; any divination concerning this lesson indicates that matters will end and cease; divination regarding illness or litigation is generally dangerous; those traveling away will be intercepted halfway and unable to return.

解曰：火生寅而絕於亥，水土生申而絕於巳，巳加於亥，是自投於絕域也。況來往皆空，凡占皆主歇滅。巳為德祿生氣，今值旬空而逢絕克，故病訟皆凶。往來俱陷於絕，則行人必有阻而截之者矣。

Fire's growth is in寅 and its decline in亥, while Water and Earth's growth is in申 and their decline in巳. Now巳 is placed on亥, which is exactly like running headlong into a place of decline. Moreover, both the incoming and outgoing aspects fall into the empty period, so any divination concerning this chart indicates that matters will be cut short midway. Originally,巳 is the daily virtue,禄神, and life qi of Wu Earth, but now it has fallen into the empty period, and is also in a place of decline and being attacked. Therefore, divinations concerning illness or legal cases are all ominous. Both the incoming and outgoing aspects are trapped in places of decline, so anyone going out will surely encounter obstacles and interference from people along the way.

斷曰：反吟之卦，自刑又復自沖，賓主不浹之象。中傳居日，初末他鄉，往來於絕地，謂之去絕反吟，諸占不吉。惟僧道則甚相宜，緣四大皆空也。

Reverse Chant divination involves both self-punishment and self-conflict, indicating an inharmonious relationship between the subject and the object. The middle transmission falls on the day's position, while the first and final transmissions are in foreign positions, moving only in the extreme positions, which is called going to the extreme and returning to the extreme. This is an unfavorable omen for all matters. However, it is most suitable for monks and Taoist priests, as they originally seek emptiness and have no attachments.

天時：太虛明淨，天地相通，萬里無雲之象。家宅：室如懸磬，空空如也。仕宦：官貴不見，德祿皆空，占官不吉。求財：財爻空絕，求之不得。婚姻：彼此皆虛，媒妁難憑。胎產：胎必墮，產母吉。疾病：脾胃受傷，新病吉，久病凶。遺失：元武臨宅，家賊難防，元武打洞，恐不能捕。出行：虛話而已。行人：天罡加季，行人立至。兵戰：不能成功。

Divination on weather: The heavens are clear and pure, the energies of heaven and earth connect up and down, indicating a sky without clouds for thousands of miles. Divination on the family dwelling: The house is like a hollow stone chime, empty inside. Divination on official positions: The official star and nobleman do not appear, the day virtue and the禄神 are also absent, indicating an inauspicious outcome for seeking officialdom. Divination on seeking wealth: The wealth爻 is both empty and cut off, so wealth cannot be obtained. Divination on marriage: Both men and women are empty, the媒人's words are unreliable. Divination on pregnancy: The fetus will certainly miscarry, but the mother herself is not harmed. Divination on illness: The spleen and stomach are injured, new illness is auspicious, but long-term illness is inauspicious. Divination on lost items: The Black Tortoise is present at the residence, household thieves are hard to prevent; also encountering the Black Tortoise digging a hole pattern, fearing that it cannot be caught. Divination on travel: It is just empty talk. Divination on a traveler: The Tiangang is placed on the four seasons position, the traveler will arrive immediately. Divination on warfare: It cannot be successful.

畢法云：空空如也事休追，來去俱空豈動移。秘要云：來去俱空之卦，鬼空尤妙，然亦宜有制，否則有虛撓之凶，為我難見彼之象故也。心鏡云：四課無形，事不出名，縱然出也，恐是虛聲。光明經云：水臨巽戶主腰災，火遇亥神防走失。

The "Bifa Fu" says, "Empty and empty, matters are already past, there is no need to pursue further; coming and going are both empty, what is there to move or change?" In a situation where everything is empty, there is no need to investigate further, for both coming and going result in emptiness, so what is there to act upon or move. The "Miyao" says that when both coming and going are empty, if the empty element is the official ghost, it is even more favorable; however, it is still better if there is a deity controlling it, otherwise there may be ominous disturbances and disturbances, because this is an image where I cannot meet the other party. The "Xingjing" says that the four lessons have no form or attachment, and the matter will not become famous, even if it spreads, it is likely to be just empty talk. The "Guangming Jing" says that water approaching the Xun direction, the gate and the waist area are subject to disaster, and fire meeting the Hai deity requires vigilance against loss.

課體：元首，斬關，不備。課義：晝虎甲午，申類最苦，夜貴當權，初末拱護。

The four lessons have only one instance where the upper element overcomes the lower one, which is used to initiate the transmission, making it the main lesson. Within the lesson, the Tiangang (Chen) takes a direct path, hence it is accompanied by a cutting gate. Since the four lessons do not fill all four positions, it is called incomplete. The lesson meaning says: during the day, the White Tiger is on the position of Wu, and Wu also contains the ghost of Jia wood, which belongs to metal, such as Shen, and this is the most difficult situation. At night, the Nobleman is in power and authority, with the first transmission and the final transmission supporting each other in front and behind, completely changing the situation.

解曰：午上遁出甲木，晝占白虎乘羊刃而傷干，又克初傳。長生之申，既被午克，復被土墓，最為痛苦也。夜占則貴人臨於寅火生地，甚有權勢。況初末之申午，又為引從而拱護，占官者，吉可知矣。

In the middle of the hour of Wu, the stem Jia Wood is hidden. Jia Wood is the official ghost of Wu Earth. During the day, the White Tiger is riding on the Yangren (Yang刃) coming from Wu to injure the day stem. It then turns back to attack the first transmission. The first transmission, Sheng Metal, is originally the long life of Wu Earth. Now it is both attacked by Wu Fire and captured by the earth tomb, suffering greatly. At night, the nobleman is present at the position of Yin, which is the long life of Fire. The nobleman is in a strong position and has great power. Moreover, the first transmission Sheng and the final transmission Wu support each other in sequence, indicating a favorable outcome for official matters.

斷曰：元首之課，履正而亨。午生丑，丑墓申，申克卯，卯克戌，是午之暗鬼，流禍甚長也。長生入墓，長上應災。末火克金，子息告匱，又名不備，諸事當有缺欠。

The main divination lesson follows the correct path, with the main ruler flourishing. However, upon closer examination: the fire (午) is born in the earth ox (丑), which receives its burial in the monkey (申), and the monkey overcomes the rabbit (卯), which in turn overcomes the dog (戌). This sequence represents the hidden ghost generated by the fire, indicating a prolonged series of misfortunes. The growth god, the monkey, falls into burial, suggesting that elders may face calamities. The final transmission is fire, which overcomes metal, and metal represents the descendants' element, indicating that the younger generation is also weak. The lesson pattern is also called incomplete, implying that all matters will have shortcomings and lack completeness.

天時：天罡指陰，水運乎上，有雨。家宅：宅與上神相合，家道必成。仕宦：青龍發用，白虎催官，占官甚宜。求財：龍雖發用，被丑墓午克，恐不能得。婚姻：干支相合，可以成就。胎產：女孕，產速。疾病：肺經受病，春占不吉。遺失：元武不見，乃遺落道途，並非賊竊。出行：行者戀宅，行期必愆。行人：天罡加孟，尚未啟行。兵戰：晝占甚利，後宜謹慎。

Divination for weather: The Tiangang points to a yin position, with water qi moving above, indicating rain. Divination for the household: The residence harmonizes with the upper deity, ensuring the family's success. Divination for official positions: The Azure Dragon initiates the transmission, and the White Tiger serves as an envoy to promote officialdom, making it suitable to seek office. Divination for wealth: Although the Azure Dragon initiates the transmission, it is buried by the earth of the Chou position and overcome by the fire of the Wu position, so it is likely to be difficult to obtain. Divination for marriage: The heavenly stem and earthly branch harmonize, making the marriage possible. Divination for pregnancy: The fetus is female, and delivery will be quick. Divination for illness: The lung meridian is affected, and it is unfavorable in spring. Divination for lost items: The Black Tortoise is not present, indicating the item was lost on the way, not stolen by a thief. Divination for travel: The person leaving home is attached to the household, so the journey will be delayed. Divination for a traveler: The Tiangang is placed on the four beginning positions, meaning the person has not yet departed. Divination for warfare: Divination during the day is favorable, but after success, caution is still advisable.

畢法云：虎乘遁鬼殃非淺，傳墓入墓分憎愛。纂要云：戌加巳，卯加戌，此為干支相會，可以共謀成事。秘要云：日鬼乘太常，入宅克宅。若十月占，主有內孝服。玉成歌云：墓神加日身災滯，支往臨幹事體危。又云：日鬼加臨辰兩課，定然官吏到門庭。指掌賦云：丑遇天空為矮子，會申而為和尚。

The "Bi Fa Fu" says, "White Tiger riding on the hidden ghost brings serious calamity; if the three transmissions and the day stem's墓 overlap, one must distinguish whether it is something lovable or something loathsome." The "Zuan Yao" says that when戌 is added to巳 or卯 is added to戌, the heavenly stem and earthly branch meet each other, and thus can conspire with people to accomplish things. The "Mi Yao" says that if the day stem's ghost rides on Tai Chang and enters the house, it will harm the house; if this is divined in the tenth month, it indicates there will be mourning within the family. The "Yu Cheng Ge" says that if the墓 god is added to the day stem, the person himself will suffer misfortune and be obstructed; if the god of the day branch moves to the day stem, the matter will be dangerous. It also says that if the day stem's ghost is added to the two lessons of the day branch, officials will certainly come to the door. The "Zhi Zhang Fu" says that when丑 meets Tian Kong, it resembles a short person, and when it combines with申, it resembles a monk.

課體：元首，勵德，泆女。課義：寅並甲午，晝夜皆虎，酉金來救，火局焚去。

The four lessons are all in one place, with the upper overcoming the lower, which is the original main lesson. The interaction between the stem and branch is mutual control, so it is advisable to self-discipline, hence named "Lide" (Self-Cultivation). The three transmissions form a fire formation, which combines with the day branch and causes excessive yin energy to overflow, leading to improper relationships between men and women, hence named "Yunü" (Excessive Woman). The meaning of the lesson says: the寅 wood is originally the official ghost, and the午 contains the hidden 甲 wood, adding another ghost. The heavenly generals during day and night are both the White Tiger, so two ghosts ride the White Tiger to attack the day stem. The only one that can save is the酉 gold on the day stem, but it is burned up by the fire formation formed by the three transmissions.

解曰：寅乃日鬼，午遁旬鬼，晝夜皆乘白虎，並來傷干。獨干上之酉金為救，又被三傳之全火焚燬。占官之外，皆非吉徵。

Yin wood is the official ghost of Wu earth. The day stem hidden in Wu also produces another ghost, and both the day and night heavenly generals are White Tigers. Two ghosts ride on the凶 general to attack the day stem. The only thing that can save the day stem is the酉 metal on the day stem.酉 can drain earth to generate water and transform the wood ghost, but it is burned by the fire formed by the three transmissions. Therefore, except for matters related to official positions, all other matters are not auspicious.

斷曰：元首之卦，本為順利，但干作金局，支作火局，以火制金。凡占利卑幼而不利尊長，利他人而不利己身。又交車相害，須防面是心非。傳雖炎上，卻喜會作生氣發用，經所謂三傳純父母，不求安而身自安也。占者倘能處安思危，則無不善矣。

The original divination is smooth, but the day stem forms a metal formation, and the day branch forms a fire formation, with fire controlling metal. In all divinations, it is favorable for the younger generation rather than the elders, favorable for others rather than oneself. The stems and branches above and below also interact in a harmful way, so one should beware that the other party may appear harmonious on the surface but have other intentions. Although the three transmissions form an upward fire formation, it is fortunate that they can generate life qi and initiate the transmission. The classic text says that the three transmissions are all about the parents' yao, not seeking security but being secure by nature, exactly describing this situation. If the diviner can think of potential dangers while in a safe position, there will be no bad outcomes.

天時：三傳皆火，畢宿受制，有風無雨。家宅：夜虎克宅，遁虎復傷，凶患難防。仕宦：催官發用，占官甚吉，兼有威權。求財：財爻不見，求之不得。婚姻：女家太盛，配不相宜。胎產：上強下弱，產乃生男。疾病：晝占則肺經受病，病深難瘥，夜占則脾經受傷，病淺易痊。遺失：元武不見，乃婢妾所失。出行：陸路甚坦，水路難行。行人：天罡加孟，尚未起身。兵戰：晝夜俱不為吉。

Divination for weather: All three transmissions belong to fire, the spirit of the Net mansion is restrained, there will be wind but no rain. Divination for the household: A white tiger is attacking the house at night, and the tiger ghost generated from the hidden stem further harms it, making calamities hard to prevent. Divination for official positions: The spirit that promotes officialdom is used as the initiating transmission, seeking an official position is very auspicious, and also gaining authority. Divination for seeking wealth: The wealth爻 does not appear, so seeking wealth is not possible. Divination for marriage: The女方's family is too powerful, making the match unequal. Divination for childbirth: The upper is strong and the lower is weak, the child will be a boy. Divination for illness: Divining during the day indicates illness in the lung meridian, which is deep and hard to cure; divining at night indicates injury to the spleen meridian, which is shallow and easy to recover from. Divination for lost items: The Black Tortoise does not appear, the lost item is likely to be lost by a servant or concubine. Divination for travel: Land travel is smooth, but water travel is difficult. Divination for a traveler: The Tiangang is placed in the position of the four young months, the person has not yet started traveling. Divination for warfare: Both day and night divinations do not indicate auspicious outcomes.

畢法云：虎乘遁鬼殃非淺，鬼臨三四訟災隨。課經云：子加申為胎坐長生，恐子戀母腹，宜占胎孕，不利占產。指掌賦云：寅午戌為炎上，以發達為名。心印賦云：三合支辰為眷親，歲中必定別陰人。雲霄賦云：火熾傷金，邊塞馳驅之子。三才賦云：將神沐浴之處相逢，凡事露機。

The "Bifa Fu" says, "White Tiger riding on the hidden ghost brings serious calamity; if the official ghost is in the third or fourth lesson, lawsuits and misfortunes follow closely." A White Tiger riding on the hidden ghost brings serious misfortune; if the official ghost is in the third or fourth lesson, lawsuits and disasters will follow. The "Keng Jing" says that when Zi is placed on Shen, it is called "tai zao changsheng," meaning the fetus clings to the mother's womb and refuses to be born, which is favorable for predicting pregnancy but unfavorable for predicting childbirth. The "Zhipang Fu" says that Yin, Wu, and Xu combine to form the fiery upward trend, which brings fame and success. The "Xinyin Fu" says that when the triple harmony meets the day branch, it indicates a relative, and during this year, there will be a parting from a female relative. The "Yunxiao Fu" says that intense fire harms metal, indicating that this person is a soldier serving on the frontier. The "Sancái Fu" says that when the heavenly general meets theBathing place, all matters will leak secrets.

課體：遙克，彈射，元胎。課義：長生須棄，財引逢鬼，晝貴入宅，夜為破碎。

The four lessons have no mutual overcoming; instead, the day stem remotely overcomes the lesson god, and this is called remote overcoming. The day stem overcoming another is like shooting an object with a pellet, hence called pellet shooting. The three transmissions at亥, 寅, and 巳 show initial movement of qi and form not yet fully developed, hence called original embryo. The meaning of the lesson says: although the metal 申 on the day stem is the place of growth for water and earth, it is ultimately abandoned; because of the desire for wealth obtained through remote shooting, one is drawn continuously into the middle transmission's寅 wood official ghost territory. If the divination is done in the daytime, it indicates a nobleman entering the house, capable of restraining all evil influences; but if done at night, it changes to a broken and destructive evil influence entering the house, leading to endless expenditure.

解曰：申為水土長生，臨於干而可守。卻貪彈射之財，因而引入中傳之鬼鄉，所謂因財致禍也。晝占則為貴人入宅，能伏諸煞。倘用夜將，則為碎破臨家，其耗費殆無窮盡矣，但當坐守。晝申敵鬼，庶可安寧。

Shen is the place of growth for water and earth, and when it is on the day stem, it can naturally be secure. Yet it is tempted by the water wealth coming from Hai, which shoots in like a projectile. Once it takes in this wealth, it is drawn into the official ghost territory of the middle transmission Yin wood. This is exactly what is meant by attracting misfortune through wealth. In daytime divination, the nobleman enters the residence and can subdue all theInauspicious Sha. But if the heavenly general is used at night, it becomes a situation where broken andInauspicious Sha forces enter the door, and the expenditure is almost endless. At this time, the only way is to sit still and hold firm, relying on the metal Shen on the day stem to resist the official ghosts, in order to hope for safety.

斷曰：遙克之課，當有遠方財動。但見生不生，反為脫氣。蓋因申金陷空，雖三傳遞生，而末傳既空，到底不能結實。

A divination lesson indicating distant wealth in motion appears to show mutual generation, but in reality, the generation does not occur, resulting in a continuous loss of energy. The metal of the monkey is trapped in Kongwang, and although the three transmissions show successive generation, the final transmission also falls into Kongwang. In the end, no real result is achieved, and the wealth remains illusory.

天時：青龍與水母昇天，奈逢空陷，出旬始雨。家宅：晝貴入宅，家必構訟。仕宦：龍與德祿皆空，不吉。求財：財爻雖現，取必遭患。婚姻：晝占青龍空陷，如年命填實可成。胎產：女胎，母實兒空，占產不吉。疾病：脾胃受病，或氣促傷殘，見救不救，病勢難安。遺失：元武不見，自失於途。出行：水陸兩途，晝占可行。行人：天罡加季，行者立至。兵戰：晝占稍可，夜占甚凶。

Divination on weather: The Azure Dragon and the Water Mother (申金) rise together on the Heaven Plate, but both are in an empty and trapped position. Rain will come only after this旬. Divination on the household: A nobleman entering the house during the day indicates disputes within the family. Divination on official position: The Azure Dragon, the day virtue, and the禄神 all fall into an empty position, which is not auspicious. Divination on seeking wealth: Although the wealth sign appears, taking it will certainly bring trouble. Divination on marriage: The Azure Dragon falls into an empty position during the day. If the person's year pillar fills this empty position, the marriage may still succeed. Divination on pregnancy: The fetus is female; if the mother's side is solid but the fetus's side is empty, childbirth is not auspicious. Divination on illness: The spleen and stomach are affected, or there is shortness of breath and weakness. It seems there is a cure, but ultimately there is none, and the illness is not stable. Divination on lost items: The Black Tortoise does not appear, indicating the item was lost on the way. Divination on travel: Both land and water routes can be taken during the day. Divination on a traveler: The Tiangang is placed at the position of the four seasons, indicating the traveler will arrive immediately. Divination on warfare: A daytime divination is still acceptable, but a nighttime one is very ominous.

畢法云：脫上逢脫防虛詐，龍加生氣吉遲遲。課經云：日干上申金，晝乘青龍，遇九月占，乃是龍加生氣。雖目下未即崢嶸，卻能徐徐發福。玉女通神訣云：順道用傳母前子，失禮還從子傳母，順即為和逆即疑，此是三傳真訣語。天官匯函云：朱雀臨亥是非張，水火相刑夫婦傷。

The "Bifa Fu" says, "When two layers of escape qi overlap, beware of falsehood and fraud; when the Azure Dragon is added to the Life Qi, it is auspicious but comes slowly." When the metal of the day stem is accompanied by the Azure Dragon during the day, if the divination is made in the ninth month, it forms the pattern of the Dragon added to the Life Qi; although immediate success is not yet visible, it will gradually bring good fortune. The "Yunü Tongshen Jue" states that following the order from mother to son is harmonious, while from son to mother is improper; following the order leads to harmony, while reversing leads to suspicion, which is the true method for judging the flow of the three transmissions. The "Tian Gao Hui Han" says that when the Vermilion Bird is present at亥, there will be much gossip and disputes, and when water and fire are in conflict, the husband and wife will suffer harm.

課體：重審，間傳，泆女，向陽。課義：夜貴身邊，兩子害焉，罡塞鬼戶，晝貴登天。

The four lessons are used to determine the initiating transmission by taking the lower to overcome the upper, hence called "re-examination"; the three transmissions are passed on with the positions of Zi, Yin, and Chen separated by one, hence called "intermediate transmission"; Zi is occupied by the Heavenly Empress, and secret matters are revealed, hence called "leaky woman"; Zi, Yin, and Chen have ascending yang energy step by step, hence called "facing the sun". The meaning of the lesson says: the nobleman of the night is the earth horse, located nearby, but is harmed by the two Zi waters on the day branch and the initiating transmission; Chen is the Tiangang, Yin is the ghost gate, Chen placed on Yin is called "Tiangang blocking the ghost gate"; Chou is the nobleman's family, Hai is the heavenly gate, Chou placed on Hai is called "nobleman ascending the heavenly gate".

解曰：未乃夜貴臨身，被支與發用二子相害，所謂害貴訟直遭曲斷也。辰為天罡，寅為鬼戶，辰加寅上，為罡塞鬼戶。丑為貴人，亥為天門，以丑加亥，為貴登天門。神藏煞沒，凡有謀為，無不遂意也。

The branch Wei is the nobleman of the night, now appearing on the self; but it is harmed by the branch Zi on the day and the initiating transmission Zi at the same time. The ancients said, "When the nobleman is harmed, a just case will be wrongly decided." When the nobleman is harmed, even a just case will be judged as unjust. The branch Chen is the Tiangang, and the branch Yin is the gate of ghosts. When Chen is placed above Yin, it is like using the Tiangang to block the gate of ghosts, called "Tiangang blocking the ghost gate." The branch Chou is the native branch of the nobleman, and the branch Hai is the heavenly gate. When Chou is placed above Hai, it is called "the nobleman ascending the heavenly gate." At this point, auspicious deities are hidden and malevolent stars are concealed. All plans and schemes will proceed smoothly and as desired.

斷曰：課名泆女，必有陰私。干支之上神不和，人己各懷猜忌。旺財乘虎發用，而生中傳寅鬼，必因財上生災。晝蛇剋日，難免驚憂。末傳入墓，又屬旬空，向後到底少益。

The divination is called "Wuyu Nu," indicating that there must be some hidden private matters within the family. The heavenly stems and earthly branches are not harmonious, and both the person and the other party are filled with suspicion. The prosperous wealth element is riding on the White Tiger and is used as the initiating transmission, but it then goes on to generate the Middle Transmission's寅 wood official ghost, which will certainly bring disaster in matters of wealth. During the day, the Teng Snake is attacking the day stem, leading to inevitable worries and disturbances. The Final Transmission falls into the墓 (grave) and is also in the旬空 (empty period), meaning that in the future, there will be nothing to gain.

天時：天罡加寅，子水被脫被克，有風無雨。家宅：支干之上神相害，人宅不安之象。仕宦：夜貴臨身，晝貴登天，功名可得。求財：晝占有婦人之財，夜占見凶惡之財。婚姻：上神相害，不吉。胎產：下強上弱，產乃生女。疾病：腎經受傷，心經不足，不能即愈。遺失：家奴作賊，可向東南捕之。出行：夜占陸路甚吉，晝占水路可行。行人：天罡加孟，尚未啟行。兵戰：晝占猶可，夜占不吉。

Divination on weather: The Tiangang is on the position of Yin, the water of Zi is both drained and attacked, there is wind but no rain. Divination on the household: The heavenly stems and earthly branches have mutual harm, both people and the house are not peaceful. Divination on official position: The night noble is on the self, the day noble is on the heavenly gate, official rank can be obtained. Divination on seeking wealth: Day divination indicates wealth from a woman, night divination indicates wealth from an evil source. Divination on marriage: The upper deities have mutual harm, which is not auspicious. Divination on childbirth: The lower is strong and the upper is weak, the child will be a girl. Divination on illness: The kidney meridian is injured, the heart meridian is insufficient, the illness cannot be cured immediately. Divination on lost items: The family servant is stealing, search to the southeast direction. Divination on travel: Night divination indicates traveling by land is auspicious, day divination indicates traveling by water is feasible. Divination on a traveler: The Tiangang is on the four young positions, the person has not yet started moving. Divination on warfare: Day divination is still acceptable, night divination is inauspicious.

畢法云：彼此猜忌害相隨，害貴訟直遭曲斷，罡塞鬼戶任謀為。指掌賦云：子寅辰向三陽，而所望光明。神將論云：子乘天后，臨戌發用，主婦人有淫邪之事。不占婦人，須有私通之事。纂要云：傳子寅辰，先合後嗔，陰私內亂，口舌頻頻。

The "Bifa Fu" says, "Each side suspects the other, causing mutual harm; when the nobleman is harmed, even a just case is wrongly decided; when the Tiangang blocks the ghost gate, one may act freely without restraint." When the heavenly stems and earthly branches are in a harmful relationship, both sides become suspicious of each other; if the nobleman is harmed, even a just case will be ruled unjustly; when the Tiangang blocks the ghost gate, one may act freely without fear. The "Zhipang Fu" says that Zi, Yin, and Chen represent the trend of the three yangs, indicating that the desired outcome will have a bright future. The "Shenjiang Lun" states that if Zi is on top with the Heavenly Empress and the戌 initiates the transmission, it indicates that a woman has immoral affairs; even if it is not about a woman, there must be hidden matters of secret relationships. The "Zuanyao" says that if the three transmissions are Zi, Yin, and Chen, there will first be harmony but then a falling out, leading to internal family discord and constant disputes.

課體：重審，進茹，三奇。課義：羅身網宅，動則遭厄，財在家中，多貪疲役。

The four lessons are used to determine the situation by the lower trigram overcoming the upper one, hence called "Re-examination"; the three transmissions proceed in order through Hai, Zi, and Chou, hence called "Progressive Eating"; and since they also form the pattern of the Three Marvels, it is called "Three Marvels." The meaning of the lesson states: Wu is the heavenly net for Wu's heavenly stem, and Hai is the earthly net for Xu's earthly branch. The net surrounds people, and the net surrounds the house; once there is movement, misfortune is imminent. Wealth originally lies within one's own house, so sufficiency is enough. If one is constantly greedy, it will instead lead to being dragged down by wealth, exhausted and weary.

解曰：午為戊干之羅，亥為戌支之網，凡占值此，乃為網羅兜裹，身宅不得亨快。靜則守旺，動則為刃。亥乃日財，臨支發用，若守其宅上之財，亦足自給。苟肆其貪求之心，則未免財多身弱，不勝其疲役矣。

The branch Wu is the Heavenly Net for the stem Wu, and the branch Hai is the Earthly Net for the branch Xu; whenever such a situation arises in a divination, both the person and the dwelling are enclosed by nets, leading to obstruction and discomfort. If it remains still and quiet, it can still retain prosperity. However, once movement occurs, the Wu branch transforms into Yangren, which harms the person. The branch Hai is the wealth element for the day stem Wu, located on the day branch and used as the initiating transmission. If one is willing to maintain the existing wealth within the home, it is sufficient for self-sufficiency. But if one indulges in greed and excessive pursuit, it inevitably leads to excessive wealth but weak constitution, making one unable to endure the hardships and toil involved.

斷曰：進茹之課，格合三奇，宜無不順。但支干之上神，各居自刑，支干之陰神，又復相害。賓主不投，人己相忌，惟宜謹守。三傳皆財，一切起居飲食，皆宜撙節。恐因財致禍，因食致病。

The divination shows that the course of action coincides with the Three Marvels pattern, which according to principle should bring smooth outcomes in all matters. However, the heavenly stem and earthly branch of the day each suffer from self-punishment, and the hidden heavenly stems also mutually harm each other. The host and guest do not harmonize, leading to mutual suspicion between oneself and others. Therefore, one should be cautious and remain steadfast, avoiding rash actions. All three transmissions are wealth signs, and an excess of wealth can be burdensome. One should be frugal in all aspects of daily life and diet; otherwise, there may be misfortunes caused by money or illnesses resulting from overeating.

天時：青龍昇天，三傳皆水，天罡指陰，時雨滂沛之象。家宅：但宜謹守，災患自無。仕宦：大宜謹飭，亦恐丁艱。求財：家財可守，外財難得。婚姻：干支之上神自刑，不吉。胎產：下強上弱，妊乃成女。疾病：腎經與膀胱受病，或心血不足。遺失：為家奴所竊，向正南捕之。出行：晝占陸路可行，夜占水路可行。行人：天罡加仲，尚在中途。兵戰：只宜謹守，不可妄動。

Divination for weather: The Azure Dragon rises on the Heaven Plate, and all three transmissions belong to water. The Tiangang points to the yin position, indicating a scene of heavy rain falling at the right time. Divination for the household: As long as one is cautious and maintains stability, calamities will naturally not occur. Divination for officialdom: It is extremely advisable to be cautious and self-disciplined, and also to beware of the death of parents leading to mourning and resignation from office. Divination for seeking wealth: The wealth within the household can be retained, but external wealth is difficult to obtain. Divination for marriage: The heavenly stems and earthly branches show self-punishment, which is inauspicious. Divination for pregnancy: The lower is strong and the upper is weak, indicating the fetus is female. Divination for illness: The kidney meridian and bladder are affected, or there is insufficient heart blood. Divination for lost items: It is stolen by a servant in the house, and one should search in the direction of Due South. Divination for travel: During the day, it is advisable to travel by land; at night, it is advisable to travel by water.

畢法云：所謀多拙逢羅網，尊崇傳內遇三奇，賓主不投刑在上。指掌賦云：亥子丑為龍潛，陽光在下，空懷寶以迷邦。又云：傳見妻財利益多。又云：三傳純妻財，而父母克害。心印賦云：子丑相加事必成，更逢吉將轉歡欣。

The "Bifa Fu" says, "If one's plans are clumsy and fall into a net, encountering the Three Marvels within the Three Transmissions indicates a high status; if the heavenly stem and earthly branch are harmed by刑, then the host and guest are not in harmony." Falling into heaven and earth nets means one's plans are clumsy and difficult to achieve; encountering the Three Marvels in the Three Transmissions indicates a high status; if the heavenly stem and earthly branch are harmed by刑, then the host and guest are not in harmony. The "Zhipang Fu" says that Hai, Zi, and Chou represent the image of a dragon lying in concealment, with yang energy still hidden below, empty-handed with a fine jade, causing the country to be lost, and talents unable to be used; it also says that if the Three Transmissions contain wife and wealth, there will be much benefit; it also says that if the Three Transmissions are entirely wife and wealth, the parents' generation will suffer harm. The "Xinyin Fu" says that when Zi and Chou combine, things will certainly succeed; if there is also a good general, it will bring even more joy.

課體：伏吟，自信，杜傳。課義：元臨財上，賊累相向，虎蛇入未，暗中惆悵。

The Heaven and Earth plates are each placed in their proper positions, which is calledHidden Chant. On a yang day, the god above the day stem initiates the transmission and takes charge of the matter; on a yin day, the god above the day branch initiates the transmission and relies on one's own strength. SinceJihai is a yin day, it is called「self-reliance」. The three transmissions are blocked and unsmooth, so it is called杜传. The meaning of the divination says: the Black Tortoise is pressing on the wealth hexagram, with thieves layer upon layer facing me; the White Tiger and Teng Snake have both entered the hexagram position of己 dry branch, which is the hexagram position of未. Although there is no obvious harm, there is a general feeling of melancholy in the background.

解曰：亥乃日財，宅上重重是財，卻重重見武，是累逢盜賊也。未為己身，既帶乙木之暗鬼，又乘蛇虎之凶神。且課傳三刑，雖不見其傷損，而暗中有不惆悵乎。

Heavenly stem Gui is the wealth hexagram for the day stem Ji. The wealth is piled upon the house, layer upon layer. Yet on top of these layers of wealth, there are repeatedly the White Tiger, symbolizing thieves. The hexagram Wu is the palace where Ji resides, representing the self. Within it lies a hidden ghost, the wood stem Yi, and above it are the Teng Snake and White Tiger, two凶stars. Moreover, the Four Lessons and Three Transmissions are involved in the Three Punishments. Although there is no obvious damage, how can one not feel melancholy secretly?

斷曰：自信之課，課傳皆陰，利私謀而不利公干。發用杜傳，事防有阻，改圖可以成就。但中末二傳，晝夜互乘蛇虎。而支上亥財，又被眾土分奪，總宜清心寡孟，守分為安。

This divination shows that all four lessons and three transmissions are of yin spirits, suggesting it is suitable for private schemes rather than public affairs. The initiating transmission coincides with the Du transmission, indicating that the matter should be cautious of obstacles in the middle, and a change of approach is needed to succeed. However, the middle and final transmissions alternate day and night with the Teng Snake and White Tiger, two凶 spirits, and the wealth of亥 water in the day branch is divided and taken by the full earth spirits in the chart. In conclusion, one should maintain a clear mind, reduce desires, and stay within one's proper role to ensure safety.

天時：天地不動，晴占則晴，雨占則雨。家宅：滿屋皆賊，財源不聚，人口亦恐不寧。功名：貴祿不見，不能有成。求財：劫之者眾，夜占防失，若陰人之財，晝占可得。婚姻：將凶，不吉。胎產：陰極則陽生，況胎乘陽神，產必弄璋。疾病：膀胱受傷，或腎經溼症，不妨。出行：蛇虎當道，盜賊滿途。行人：丁馬不見，行者不至。兵戰：彼此皆詐，利主不利客。墳葬：丁龍從右入首則吉，水太旺，穴中恐有水。

Divination for weather: The heavens and earth discs remain still, so if it is predicted to be clear, it will be clear; if it is predicted to rain, it will rain. Divination for the home: The whole house is full of thieves, wealth cannot be retained, and the household may not be peaceful. Divination for official rank: Neither the nobleman nor the official god appears, so there will be no success. Divination for seeking wealth: There are too many people trying to seize it, so at night one should be careful of losing it; if the wealth is in the hands of a woman, then if divined in the daytime, it can be obtained. Divination for marriage: The heavenly generals are all凶, so it is not auspicious. Divination for childbirth: Yin reaches its extreme, so yang naturally arises, and since the fetal god is riding the yang spirit, the child born will certainly be a boy. Divination for illness: The bladder is injured, or there is dampness along the kidney meridian, which is not serious. Divination for travel: The teng snake and white tiger are in command, and the whole journey will be full of thieves. Divination for a person away: The ding spirit and the post-horse do not appear, so the person who has left will not return. Divination for battle: Both sides are using deception, which is advantageous to the main side but not to the guest side. Divination for burial: The dragon comes from the ding direction and enters from the right, which is auspicious; the water energy is too strong, so there may be water in the grave site.

畢法云：虎乘遁鬼殃非淺，任信丁馬須言動。課經云：辰加辰，謂之兩勾夾墓。纂要云：申貴逆行，白虎乘丑，乃貴人嗔怒之象，不可干謁。蓋丑乃天乙本家，不宜見虎也。壬經云：伏吟干支，各居其位。日辰只有兩課，用日則舍陰，用辰則舍陽。天地不備，陰陽獨刑，實為不足之體。

The "Bi Fa Fu" says, "White Tiger riding the hidden ghost brings serious calamity; if a lesson shows the spirit of Ding and the post-horse, it should be regarded as movement." When the White Tiger is combined with the hidden stem, it brings serious misfortune; if a lesson is based on self-reliance and confidence and shows the spirit of Ding and the post-horse, it should be considered as an indication of movement. The "Ke Jing" says that when the hour is placed on the same position as the day, it is called two hooks enclosing the tomb. The "Zuan Yao" says that if the nobleman is in the position of Shen and moves in reverse, and the White Tiger is also on the position of Chou, this is an omen of the nobleman being angry, and one should not attempt to seek an audience. Chou is the original position of the nobleman, and it is most inappropriate to see the White Tiger. The "Ren Jing" says that in a lesson of hidden chant, the heavenly stem and earthly branch each occupy their own position, and the day stem and day branch form only two lessons. If the day stem is used as the initiating transmission, the hidden spirit is abandoned; if the day branch is used as the initiating transmission, the visible spirit is abandoned. The numbers of heaven and earth are incomplete, and yin and yang are each subjected to punishment, making it inherently a defective lesson pattern.

課體：元首，退茹，斬關，勵德。課義：棄祿尤宜，關隔卑微，魁居宅上，百無所依。

The four lessons are all in one place, with the upper overcoming the lower to initiate the transmission, which is the main lesson. The three transmissions progress step by step in a backward manner, hence called retreating and consuming. The heavenly stem and earthly branch mutually restrain each other, and it is advisable to self-discipline, hence it is still called cultivating virtue. The meaning of the lesson says: although the day's official is in a good position, abandoning it and seeking elsewhere is better. A series of obstacles block the way, and the position is also humble. The hour of Xu is the celestial guide, now pressing upon the dwelling, blocking the path, hence it is said to have no support.

解曰：午為日祿，晝乘天空，棄之他求，未為不可。但天魁臨亥發用，謂之魁度天門。事主關隔，晝夜乘陰，卑微之象。亥為本日支神，而魁塞之，關隔尤甚，故曰百無所依也。

The branch Wu is the禄神 of the day Ji. During the day, it is in a superior position with Tian Kong, but it is empty and not substantial. It is acceptable to abandon it and seek another path. However, Tian Gui Xu is added upon Hai and used as the initiating transmission, which is called Gui crossing the heavenly gate. The matter involved will certainly encounter obstacles. Both day and night are accompanied by Tai Yin, indicating a humble status. Hai is the branch god of the current day, and Tian Gui deliberately blocks it, making the obstruction particularly heavy. Therefore, it is said to have no support.

斷曰：退茹之課，干支拱傳，破敗居中，不如退守日祿，尚為有益。真朱雀臨干，土年占之，最利功名科第。

The divination lesson is about retreating rather than advancing. The day stem and day branch are at both ends, with the three transmissions in the middle, and the broken and defeated spirit is exactly in the center. It is better to retreat and protect the day's禄 (favorable position) rather than move forward, which would be more beneficial. The day stem is precisely the native position of the Vermilion Bird, which governs literature and official rank. If this is divined in a year of earth, it is especially advantageous for official positions and academic success.

天時：天上乘空，水母與畢宿相加，夜當陰雨。家宅：破敗居中，未見昌盛。仕宦：官祿臨身吉。求財：關隔臨財，不能入手。婚姻：媒妁難通。胎產：占孕成女，占產艱滯。疾病：脾胃受病，隔食隔氣，雖擔時日，不防。出行：關梁隔阻，陸路可通。行人：魁度天門，必有阻隔。兵戰：只宜謹守，不可襲遠。

Divination for weather: The heavens are governed by Kongwang, with the water mother and Net mansion gods combined, indicating rain will come at night. Divination for the household: The broken god is in the center, suggesting the family will not prosper. Divination for officialdom: The official star and禄神 are on the self, which is auspicious. Divination for wealth: The blocking god is pressing on the wealth, meaning wealth will not reach the hands. Divination for marriage: The matchmaker's words cannot pass through. Divination for pregnancy: It indicates a female fetus, while divination for childbirth suggests difficulty and delay. Divination for illness: The spleen and stomach are affected, with no appetite and blocked qi, though it will take some time, there is no serious harm. Divination for travel: There are many obstructions at checkpoints and bridges, but traveling by land is still possible. Divination for a traveler: The魁 is passing through the heavenly gate, indicating there will be obstructions on the way. Divination for warfare: It is only suitable to be cautious and defensive, not to attack from a distant place.

畢法云：旺祿臨身徒妄作，魁度天門關隔定。古鑑：巳將午時占，曰：時與日干六合，事必主外。命上乘未加常，與發用俱得子爻之休氣，主其子在外酒食過度致病。

The "Bifa Fu" says, "When the prosperous stem is on the body, idle actions are in vain; when the celestial general crosses the heavenly gate, the situation becomes fixed." When the prosperous stem is on the body, unnecessary movements are just a waste of effort; when the celestial general passes over the heavenly gate, the outcome is determined. The "Gujian" records a case: someone cast a divination using the hour of巳 and the time of午. The diviner said that at the time of divination, the day stem formed aLiu He with the hour, indicating that the matter would certainly take place outside. The native's chart showed that the upper multiplier was on 未 and added Tai Chang, and both the upper multiplier and the initiating transmission shared the rest period of the son's hexagram. The son's hexagram represents children, and Tai Chang signifies wine and food. Therefore, the diviner concluded that the person's son had overindulged in eating and drinking outside and became ill.

又丁卯占，曰：命用見合，中傳酉乘元武，因私通人家婢妾致疾。蓋酉為婢妾，元武臨酉為窺戶，本身屬土，被酉耗敗，故必尪羸也。又壬戌占曰：戌為奴，酉為婢，元武窺戶，卦得斬關，乃逃亡之象。主家中奴婢逃亡，得馬姓人，於西方捉獲。緣日上午為馬姓，與日相助克酉，酉在西方，與午相破故也。

Another person born in the year Dingmao came for divination. The diviner said: The person's birth stem coincides with the initiating transmission. The middle transmission is on You metal, with Yuanwu above it. This person got sick due to an affair with a servant girl from another household. You metal represents servant girls, and Yuanwu on You is called Kuihu, meaning peeking through a door. The person's own stem is earth, which is weakened by You metal, so he must be extremely thin and weak. Another person born in the year Renxu came for divination. The diviner said: Xu represents servants, You represents servant girls, Yuanwu is again on Kuihu. The lesson pattern is Zhanguan, which indicates fleeing. This indicates that the servant girls in the household have fled. Later, a man named Ma caught them back in the west. The reason is that the day stem's Wu belongs to Ma, and together with the day stem, it attacks You. You is in the west, and Wu and You are in opposition.
