Charting guides: Da Liu Ren Chart Calculator, Jin Kou Jue Chart
課體:伏吟,勵德,三奇,杜傳。課義:德祿幸臨,貪心再成,孟其興旺,無禮遭刑。解曰:亥為德祿,臨干發用,何其幸也。如不守其祿,而貪心未已,前就中傳之子,以冀興旺,則末傳卯子無禮相刑,刑獄之遭,其能免乎。斷曰:卦得三奇,禍消福長之象。況傳課皆逢旺祿,凡謀俱吉。惟歸計值空,事恐更變難成。且課體伏吟,宜靜而不宜動耳。
The lesson pattern is a hidden chant, accompanied by the three marvels, and the transmission of Du. The lesson meaning says: the day stem's virtue and its fortune are present on the person, but if greed is not satisfied and one continues to pursue more, solely seeking prosperity, one will encounter the punishment of impropriety between the hour of zi and mao and suffer punishment. The explanation says: the hour of hai is both the virtue and fortune of the day stem of ren, and it is placed upon the day stem, thus being used as the initiating transmission, which is very fortunate. If one does not remain content with this fortune and continues to be greedy, moving forward to the middle transmission's water of zi, hoping for even greater prosperity, then the final transmission's mao and zi form the punishment of impropriety between zi and mao, and how can the disaster of imprisonment be avoided? The conclusion says: the hexagram contains the three marvels, which is an image of disaster being eliminated and fortune increasing. Moreover, the four lessons and three transmissions all meet the prosperous and strong fortune gods, so any plan will be favorable. However, the conclusion falls into kongwang, so the matter may change and fail. Also, since the lesson pattern is a hidden chant, it is suitable to remain still and not to act recklessly.
天時:晴占則晴,雨占更甚。家宅:德祿臨干,旺神坐支,人宅咸亨。功名:傳課重逢旺祿,大利。求財:干支同類,恐有爭奪。婚姻:支干比和,且乘旺祿,大吉。胎產:男子之祥,伏吟,占產尚遲。疾病:病屬腎經,未能即愈。爭訟:田廬致訟,可和。出行:不果。行人:未動。捕獲:夜占即家中人作賊。兵戰:防詐。
On weather: if it is sunny when consulting, it will continue to be sunny; if it is rainy, the rain will be even heavier. On residence: the day stem and day branch are accompanied by day virtue and day fortune, the prosperous god is seated at the day branch, both person and house are in harmony and prosperity. On official rank: the four lessons and three transmissions repeatedly meet the prosperous and strong fortune gods, which is very beneficial. On seeking wealth: the day stem and day branch belong to the same category, it is feared that someone will come to compete. On marriage: the day branch and day stem are like and harmonious, and they are also riding on the prosperous fortune, which is very auspicious. On childbirth: it is a good omen for giving birth to a boy; with hidden chant and stillness, the childbirth will take some time. On illness: the illness is in the kidney meridian, and it cannot be cured soon. On litigation: if there is a lawsuit over land and houses, it can be mediated. On travel: it is not possible to go. On a person away: the person who has left has not yet started. On capturing thieves: if it is a night consultation, it is a thief from the same family. On military affairs: be cautious of the enemy using deception.
畢法云:旺祿臨身徒妄作。古鑑:辛卯人,戊申十一月卯加卯占家宅。曰:宅上帝旺,財物興隆。中傳是子,子邊作亥似孫字,今年子及孫當進學。末傳門戶上有不寧,乃是戶役事。門上不合安符,主不時吵鬧。財祿甚穩,家當大發。但身有胸胱疝氣,及陰腫水氣之憂。尚有四四一十六年壽,當以陰腫而亡。蓋亥數四,身與初傳重見,旺則相倍之故也。其家果掛一天師,時有怪異,去之即安,餘亦皆驗。
The *Bifa Fu* says: Although a strong禄神 is present, reckless actions are still in vain. The *Gujian* records: A person born in the year of Xinmao used the method of adding卯 to卯 to cast a divination for his family home in the year of Wushen, in the eleventh lunar month. The divination stated: The position of the house is at its Prosperity, and wealth will flourish. The Middle Transmission is the water trigram Zi, and the character Zi combined with the character Hai forms the character "Sun," indicating that both his son and grandson will enter school this year. The Final Transmission falls on the position of the door, indicating unrest, which refers to household duties and taxes. The door should not be marked with an amulet for peace, as this will bring constant disturbances. Wealth and禄 are stable, and the family's business will greatly prosper. However, the person has concerns about bladder disorders and swelling in the lower body due to water retention. He has sixteen more years of life, and will eventually die from swelling and water retention. This is because the number of Hai is four, and the person's birth year and the First Transmission repeat, thus doubling the strength. Indeed, the family had a portrait of the Celestial Master hanging, which often caused strange occurrences, but once it was removed, everything became peaceful, and all the other predictions also came true.
On the Renzi day, second arrangement, the stem is over the Xu.
課體:退茹,斬關,不備,元首。課義:先疑後遂,佯輸詐退,病訟逢斯,晝夜皆晦。解曰:戌土臨干發用,晝夜上乘白虎,此壬所最怕者也。先受此驚疑,然後從而得酉申之生遂,所謂佯輸詐退也。若占病訟,豈能當此虎鬼晝夜相臨乎。
The lesson pattern involves the three transmissions being戌, 酉, and 申, connected in a reverse sequence forming a retreating transmission. It also includes the elements of cutting the gate, incompleteness, and the head. The lesson meaning states: first there is doubt and fear, then things become smooth, like a deceptive retreat to lure the enemy. If this lesson is used for divination regarding illness or litigation, whether divined in the day or night, it will be obscure and unclear. The explanation is: the earth element戌 is placed upon the day stem and is taken as the initiating transmission. Whether divined in the day or night, it is all accompanied by the White Tiger, which is exactly what the壬 water element fears most. First experiencing this sudden suspicion, then following the retreating transmission to receive the mutual generation from酉 metal and 申 metal, thus achieving the desired outcome, which is called pretending to retreat. If it is about illness or litigation, how could it endure the pressure of the White Tiger and spirits day and night?
斷曰:連茹而退,凡事以退為進,斯能受益。魁度天門,雖有阻滯,而臨干發用,卻為斬關,非安居之象。但格合失友,課名不備。又虎乘干鬼,人情必然欠美,事體必然未周。多主孟行不行,先難後易之象。
The interpretation states: The three transmissions are connected and retreat backward, so in all matters, retreating is considered advancing, which can lead to actual benefits. Hekui (Xu) is placed over the gate of heaven (Hai), although there is obstruction, since it is positioned over the day stem, it becomes a cutting-off transmission, not an image of remaining stationary. However, the structure conforms to 'loss of friends,' and the lesson is also called 'incomplete.' Moreover, the White Tiger is riding on the day stem's ghost, indicating that human relations will not be harmonious and matters will not be fully complete. It mostly indicates a situation where one wants to move but cannot, showing a pattern of difficulty first followed by ease.
天時:天罡指陰,主陰。家宅:德祿坐宅,宅旺而窄,人亦平安,防有大驚。功名:青龍值旺,已仕者主升轉,未仕者,不日得官赴任。求財:無益。婚姻:不吉。胎產:胎上神陽,主男,產遲而難。
On the weather: The Tiangang points to the Yin position, indicating overcast skies. On the residence: The daily virtue and daily fortune are seated at the house position, indicating a thriving household atmosphere but a narrow place, people are safe, but beware of a great shock. On official rank: The Azure Dragon is in its flourishing phase, those already in office will be promoted or transferred, those not yet in office will soon attain official positions and take office. On seeking wealth: No benefit. On marriage: Unfavorable. On childbirth: The spirit of the fetus belongs to Yang, indicating a male fetus, with a slow and difficult delivery.
疾病:魁度天門,乘虎作鬼,主腎氣大虛,以致隔食隔氣,法宜治脾。投謁:有阻。爭訟:不利。出行:不大遂意。行人:歸遲。捕獲:晝占盜在西南,夜占盜在正北。兵戰:當失眾。
On disease: Hekui is over the heavenly gate, and with the White Tiger it transforms into a ghost or spirit, indicating a great deficiency of kidney qi, leading to difficulty in swallowing and food obstruction. The treatment should start from the spleen. On visiting: there are obstacles. On litigation: unfavorable. On travel: not satisfactory. On messengers: they return late. On capturing thieves: during the day, the thief is in the southwest; at night, the thief is in due north. On military affairs: there will be loss of soldiers and generals.
畢法云:權攝不正祿臨支,魁度天門關隔定,干乘墓虎無占病,虎臨干鬼凶速速。課經云:日干祿神加臨支辰上者,凡占不自尊大,受屈折於他人,非鄰國之遊士,亦幕府之客臣。纂要云:壬水臨支就旺,大宜家居食祿。
The *Bifa Fu* says: If the official star falls on the day branch, it indicates that the authority is assumed on behalf of someone else, but the position is not legitimate; if Hekui is placed on the heavenly gate, the obstruction at the pass has already become a fixed situation; if the day stem is accompanied by a storage place and the white tiger, do not divinate about illness; if the white tiger is on the ghost of the day stem, misfortune comes quickly and urgently. The *Ke Jing* says: For those whose official star is on the day branch, when divining, they should not assume a position of superiority, but rather endure委屈 and pressure from others; they are not wandering scholars from neighboring states, but rather guests in a military office. The *Zuanyao* says: When the water of Ren is on the day branch and in its strong position, it is most suitable to stay at home and enjoy the salary.
On the Renzi day, third arrangement: the heavenly stem is on You (Metal)
課體:元首,斬關,間傳。課義:宅上為初,晝占難居,叵耐末午,助鬼趑趄。解曰:戌土臨宅發用,晝將白虎,若占家宅,凶惡難居。末傳之午,雖為日財,卻助初鬼,壬干見之,自趑趄而不敢進步,故爾叵耐也。
The lesson pattern is the head, combining the initiating transmission and the intermediate transmission. The lesson meaning states: the god at the day branch's position is taken as the first transmission; daytime divination shows that this dwelling is difficult to reside in; most annoying is the final transmission of southern fire, which instead helps the ghostly god of the first transmission, causing hesitation and indecision. The explanation is: the earth dog (戌 soil) is located at the dwelling position and is taken as the initiating transmission; during daytime divination, it is occupied by the white tiger, and if divining about the family dwelling, it is ominous and difficult to live in. The southern fire in the final transmission, although it is the wealth爻 of the day stem, instead supports the ghostly god of the first transmission. When the壬 water day stem encounters it, it naturally hesitates and is afraid to move forward, hence it is called annoying.
斷曰:間傳之課,進步艱辛。又名斬關,事難安貼。干支六害,而干則受敗,支則受克,人宅不寧之象。末財生助初鬼,止宜攜財告貴,切勿妄意求財,必將致禍。晝占酉乘太常生日,當因喜慶婚姻,以致破財,或開絲鋪酒肆,以為生計。
The interpretation states: The intermediate transmission indicates a course of action that is extremely difficult. It is also called cutting through the gate, implying that matters will not proceed smoothly. The day stem and day branch are mutually harmful, the day stem is in a losing position, and the day branch is being overcome, which portrays an image of both the person and the dwelling being unstable. The final transmission's wealth hexagram goes to support the initial transmission's ghost, so it is advisable to carry wealth and seek the nobleman's help, but one must not recklessly pursue wealth, as this will surely bring misfortune. If the day is during the day and the酉 metal is riding the Tai Chang to support the day stem, it is because of a joyful wedding or similar event leading to expenditure, or setting up a silk shop or tavern to sustain livelihood.
天時:主晴。家宅:虎鬼臨支發用,干支俱受其克,人宅不寧,小口災更甚。功名:催官發用,末財又助,已得者升遷,未得者任速。求財:無益。婚姻:干支上乘六害,不吉。胎產:三傳純陽,主女;干上脫支上,產速而易。疾病:肝腎二經之病,晝占甚凶,夜占有解,總宜求神作福。爭訟:有教唆人,主略佔先。出行:斬關課,最利。行人:即至。捕獲:晝占盜在正南,道旁馬舍。兵戰:不利。
On the weather: it indicates clear skies. On the residence: the White Tiger accompanied by ghosts and spirits is located on the day branch, serving as the initiating transmission. Both the day stem and day branch are restrained by it, causing both the person and the house to be restless. The illness of children is especially severe. On officialdom: the god promoting officialdom serves as the initiating transmission, and the final transmission of wealth supports it. Those already in office will be promoted, while those not yet in office will soon take office. On seeking wealth: there is no benefit. On marriage: the spirits on the day stem and day branch are mutually six harms, which is inauspicious. On childbirth: the three transmissions are all yang branches, which instead indicate a female fetus; the spirit on the day stem drains the energy of the spirit on the day branch, resulting in a quick and smooth delivery. On illness: diseases of the liver and kidney meridians are very dangerous during the day, but somewhat alleviated at night. In general, one should pray to gods and pray for fortune. On litigation: there is someone inciting from the side, and our side has a slight advantage. On travel: this is a cutting through the gate lesson, which is most favorable. On the arrival of a traveler: he will arrive immediately. On capturing thieves: during the day, the thief is in the due south, in a horse stable by the roadside. On military affairs: it is unfavorable.
畢法云:虎臨干鬼凶速速,虎乘遁鬼殃非淺。課經云:戌加子發用,夜將為一喜一悲,干上酉乘空生日,為不幸中幸。支上戌乘龍剋日,為幸中不幸。斷鏡云:戌虎臨支,寅月占主房舍不安。虎臨四季加子,主小口災病,占訟有主唆。年命制末則吉,生初則凶。
The *Bifa Fu* says: When the White Tiger is on the ghost of the day stem, misfortune comes quickly and urgently; when the White Tiger rides the ghost of the ten-day cycle, the calamity is deep. The *Ke Jing* says: When the戌 is placed on the Zi to initiate the transmission, the heavenly generals in night divination are both joyful and sorrowful: the酉 metal on the day stem rides the Tian Kong to benefit the day stem, which is a fortunate thing among misfortunes; the戌 earth on the day branch rides the Azure Dragon but attacks the day stem, which is an unfortunate thing among blessings. The *Duansheng* says: When the戌 carries the White Tiger and is on the day branch, in the寅 month, the house is unstable. When the White Tiger is on the gods of the four seasons, the辰, 戌, 丑, and 未, and is placed on the Zi position, it indicates illness in children; in divination about lawsuits, there is someone inciting from the side. If the personal year can control the final transmission, it is auspicious; if it nourishes the initial transmission, it is inauspicious.
On the Renzi day, the fourth layout: the stem is on Shen.
課體:比用,三交,高蓋。課義:夜遁戊虎,財亡妻苦,中末皆空,敗壞門戶。解曰:干上申,長生也。遁得戊土,夜乘白虎,反為傷日。發用午火,晝後夜元,又被末傳子水沖制,是妻財受傷矣。中末空陷,且子卯無禮相刑,兼之壬水敗於酉,支上乘之,門戶之所以敗壞也。斷曰:知一之課,亦名比鄰。事有兩歧,起於同類。有始無終,恩中生害之象。且三交作傳,事體牽連,須防有人阻破。幸日辰上神,交互相生,循分守拙,最為安妥。
The lesson pattern is "Comparison and Use" (two instances of mutual control, selecting the one with the same yin-yang as the day stem to initiate the transmission, also called "Knowing One"), combined with "Three Intersections" (the stem and branch and the riding god mutually intersect and connect) and "High Cover" (the three transmissions rise from the bottom to the top, like Huagai covering the head). The lesson meaning says: night divination with the ten heavenly stems hidden to get the earth stem Wu earth, and it rides the White Tiger, leading to loss of wealth and suffering of the wife; the middle and final transmissions all fall into emptiness, causing the family to fall into ruin. The explanation is: the shen metal on the day stem is originally the place of growth for the ren water, but it is hidden in the ten heavenly stems to get Wu earth, and in night divination it rides the White Tiger, which instead harms the day stem. The initiating transmission is the wu fire, which in day divination rides the Heavenly Empress and in night divination rides the Black Tortoise, and is further attacked and restrained by the final transmission's zi water. This is how the wife's wealth is harmed. The middle and final transmissions all fall into emptiness, plus the zi and mao forming the punishment of impropriety, and combined with the ren water being defeated in you and the day branch riding it, the family thus falls into ruin. The conclusion says: the "Knowing One" pattern is also called "Comparison," meaning the matter has two divergent paths, both originating from similar people. It is a pattern that has a beginning but no end, with kindness leading to harm. Moreover, the three intersections entering the transmission mean the matter is interconnected, and one should beware of someone interfering and causing trouble. Fortunately, the day stem and day branch have gods that interact and generate each other; as long as one remains modest and avoids excess, it is most appropriate.
天時:火用水空,主晴。家宅:敗神臨支,夜虎遁鬼,人宅俱不能安寧,家中忌隱匿私人。功名:高蓋課,大利。求財:無益。婚姻:不吉。胎產:胎神臨敗地,孕防損;陽包陰,主女,支上神脫干,產速。疾病:病屬肝經,或因酒食而起,甚凶。爭訟:夜占虎乘遁鬼,甚凶,然可講和。投謁:比鄰,人可得見。出行:有阻。行人:未歸。捕獲:賊在鄰近。兵戰:宜和不宜戰。
On weather: The fire god initiates the transmission while the water god is in an empty position, indicating clear skies. On housing: The defeated spirit is present in the day branch, and during the night, the white tiger is involved along with the ghostly spirits of the ten-day cycle, causing both people and the house to be restless; it is inauspicious to shelter strangers. On official rank: A grand and covering lesson, highly beneficial. On wealth: No benefit. On marriage: Unfavorable. On childbirth: The fetal spirit is in a defeated position, so there is a risk of miscarriage during pregnancy; yang encompasses yin, indicating a female fetus; the spirit on the day branch drains the energy of the day stem, leading to a quick delivery. On illness: The illness is in the liver meridian, possibly caused by alcohol or food, which is very dangerous. On litigation: During the night, the white tiger is accompanied by the ghostly spirits of the ten-day cycle, which is very凶险, but it is still possible to reach a reconciliation. On visiting: A lesson of neighbors, indicating that the person to be seen can be found. On travel: Obstacles are present. On a traveler: The person has not yet returned. On capturing thieves: The thief is nearby in the neighborhood. On military affairs: It is advisable to seek reconciliation rather than engage in battle.
畢法云:虎乘遁鬼殃非淺,不行傳者考初時。太乙經云:壬子日魁加辰,勝光臨子為用,將得螣蛇,此為日辰並傷神將也。但辰傷婦,謂辰傷其陽神神將者。又曰內有微氣往助之者,為婦死也。
The "Bifa Fu" says: When the White Tiger is riding on the ghostly spirit of the ten-day cycle, the calamity is deep; if the three transmissions cannot produce a result, one should look back at the time of the first transmission's initiation. The "Taiyi Jing" says: On a Renzi day, the Hekui (Xu) is placed on the Chén (Earth Dragon), and the Shengguang (Wu) at the Zi (Water Ox) is taken as the initiating transmission. The Heavenly General receives the Teng Snake, indicating that the day stem, day branch, and divine general are all injured. The phrase "Chén injures the wife" means that Chén injures its yang spirit and the general it is riding. It also says that if there is a slight weak element to assist it, then the wife will die.
On the Renzi day, fifth arrangement: the stem is on the Wei branch.
課體:涉害,曲直,勵德。課義:丁鬼臨身,暗戊加辰,財如刃蜜,夜卜為迍。解曰:水日逢丁,臨身之財,極易取也。但乘未土,為日之鬼。申乃長生在支,卻遁戊土乘虎,二者皆美中不足,故以刃蜜喻之。至於夜占,則天將皆屬土克干,迍邅尤甚矣。
The lesson pattern is "Involving Harm." The three transmissions form a wood pattern, belonging to the "Curved and Straight" category, and also include the "Lìdé" element. The lesson meaning says: the ghost god with the character Ding is present on the person's own body, and the hidden Wu earth is placed on the day branch. This wealth is like honey on the edge of a knife, and when divining at night, it is especially difficult. The explanation says: when a day stem of Ren or Gui water meets the god Ding, it is a wealth element that is present on the person's body, which is very easy to obtain. However, it is riding on the earth branch of Wei earth, which is the ghost that harms the day stem. The metal element of Shen is originally the long life of Ren water and is located on the day branch, but it is hidden by Wu earth and rides on the White Tiger. These two aspects are both lacking in perfection, so it is compared to honey on the edge of a knife. As for night divination, all the heavenly generals belong to earth and harm the day stem, making it even more difficult to proceed.
斷曰:見機之課,乃趨安避危,先難後易之象。事須見機,思所變計。若守舊不改,愈加稽滯矣。況局成曲直,動則如意,靜則不寧。貴人立於酉上為勵德,亦主遷動。但干上神,交車六害,末傳德祿陷空,凶易散而吉難成耳。
The interpretation says: This is a lesson indicating the ability to seize the right opportunity, showing a trend towards stability and avoiding danger, with the image of first encountering difficulty and then finding ease. When handling affairs, one must clearly recognize the timing and devise flexible strategies; if one stubbornly adheres to old methods without change, it will only lead to further delays and stagnation. Moreover, the situation forms a curved and straight structure, where movement brings satisfaction, while remaining still brings unease. The nobleman is positioned at the You branch, indicating moral encouragement and also suggesting movement and change. However, the day stem and heavenly stem intersect to form the six harms, and the final transmission's day virtue and day fortune fall into kongwang, so calamities are easily dispersed, but good things are difficult to achieve.
天時:曲直帶丁馬,主大風。家宅:干支上神交車六害,三傳又脫盜干支,人宅不寧。功名:不利。求財:壬干乘丁,惜乘六害,難得,春占吉。婚姻:水日逢丁,妻財已動,春占大吉,餘不甚佳。
On weather: A curve and straight wood formation with the Ding god and the Post-horse indicates strong winds. On residence: The Day Stem and Day Branch are crossed and form the six harms, and the three transmissions further drain and steal the energy of the Day Stem and Day Branch, causing both people and the house to be unsettled. On official rank: Unfavorable. On seeking wealth: On a Ren day, the Ding god is on the Day Stem, which originally indicates wealth movement, but it is also affected by the six harms, making it difficult to obtain. If this is divined in spring, it is favorable. On marriage: On a water day encountering the Ding god, the wife's wealth has already been activated. If divined in spring, it is very favorable, but in other seasons, it is not so good.
胎產:胎上神屬陽,弄璋之兆,產遲。疾病:症主肝木,因風而起,難愈。爭訟:雖凶,有解。出行:中末空陷,有始無終;未必去,去亦不佳。行人:歸遲。捕獲:晝占是東方本家人。兵戰:不宜。
On childbirth: The deity of the fetal stage is yang in nature, indicating a sign of giving birth to a boy, but the delivery is delayed. On disease: The illness belongs to the liver wood element, caused by wind, and is difficult to recover from. On litigation: Although dangerous, there is a way to resolve it. On travel: The middle transmission and final transmission are empty and陷, meaning the journey has a beginning but no end; it may not be completed, and even if it is, it will not be good. On a traveler: The person will return late. On capturing a thief: If divined during the day, the thief is a relative from the east. On military affairs: It is not advisable.
畢法云:虎乘遁鬼殃非淺,水日逢丁財動之。斷鏡云:壬子日太常臨未加亥,支上申乘白虎,三月占又是死氣,乘虎入宅,主內外孝服。指掌賦云:未卯亥為正陽,遵發生之意。又云:三傳純子孫,不求財而財自至。
The "Bifa Fu" says: White Tiger riding on the ghostly spirit of the ten-day cycle brings deep calamity; when the day is壬 or癸 (water) and meets the god丁, it signifies the movement of wealth. The "Duan Jing" says: On aRenzi day, Tai Chang (the God of the Constellation) is located on the position of 未 and added to the position of 亥; the metal 申 on the day branch also rides on White Tiger. If this occurs in the third month, 申 is at death qi, and with White Tiger entering the house position, it indicates that both inside and outside the family will have mourning clothes. The "Zhi Zhang Fu" says: Three transmissions of 未, 卯, and 亥 are called "Zhengyang" (positive Yang), following the principle of growth and development. It also says: If the three transmissions are all descendants' yao (divination lines), one does not need to seek wealth, and wealth will naturally come.
On the Renzi day, sixth arrangement, the stem is in the morning.
課體:重審,四絕,泆女。課義:夜申遁鬼,長生無氣,或卜財亡,或緣妻婢。解曰:申乃壬水長生,遁戊為鬼,被初克中墓,則長生無氣矣。午為壬水妻財,被水將夾克,占遇此課,非為財亡,則緣妻婢之事也。
The lesson pattern is a re-examination, combining the four extremes and the wandering woman. The lesson meaning states: when divining at night, the metal of the seventh hour is hidden in the ten-day cycle and encounters a ghost, the place of growth loses its life qi; the divination is either about losing money or being involved in matters concerning the wife, concubine, or servant girl. The explanation is: the seventh hour metal is originally the place of growth for the water of the heavenly stem Ren, but when hidden in the ten-day cycle, it meets the earth of the heavenly stem Wu, which transforms into a ghost, and is then attacked by the first transmission and contained by the middle transmission's storage, thus the place of growth loses its life qi. The fire of the fifth hour is the wife and wealth of the water of the heavenly stem Ren, and is attacked by both the water god and the heavenly general, so when encountering this lesson, the divination is either about losing money or being involved in matters concerning the wife, concubine, or servant girl.
斷曰:重審之課,事多不順,事由婦人而起。面前六合,三傳遞生育干。占主先以財交引薦,後致禍災。初遭夾克,財不由己而費用。中作腹胎,妻應懷孕而憂虞。初末雖引從地支,然被丁未克害,當亦不能安坐享福也。
The divination states: This is a case of re-examination, indicating that matters are mostly not going smoothly, and the cause lies with a woman. The day stem is preceded by theLiu He, which is favorable, and the three transmissions are successively generating to nourish the day stem. The matter at hand initially relies on money to bribe and seek recommendations from others, but later brings misfortune. The first transmission is caught between two forces, meaning that money is not under one's control and is spent away. The middle transmission occupies the position of the womb, indicating that the wife should be pregnant but is instead anxious. Although the first and last transmissions are guided by the day branch, they are harmed by the earth of the hexagram 未, which is governed by 丁, and thus cannot enjoy peace and comfort.
天時:火爻夾克,天罡指酉,主陰。家宅:旬丁乘鬼,入宅克宅,主宅不寧。功名:三傳遞生,可得,恐有反覆。求財:費力。婚姻:恐非佳偶。胎產:胎神臨絕受克,占孕危,產易。疾病:症主肝腎二經,淹纏難愈,宜作福。爭訟:可和。投謁:干支上神六合,賓主和諧。出行:吉。行人:在途。捕獲:晝占在東方舟車中,夜占在正南園田內。兵戰:能知機,可小用。
On weather: The fire element is sandwiched between two elements, and the Tiangang (Chen) points to the You position, indicating overcast skies. On housing: The spirit of Ding in the ten-day cycle rides on a ghost, entering the house and harming the house position, indicating instability within the house. On official rank: The three transmissions are successively generated, indicating the possibility of achieving official rank, but there is fear of reversals in the middle. On seeking wealth: It is quite laborious. On marriage: It is likely not a good partner. On childbirth: The fetal god is in the绝 position and is also harmed, indicating danger in pregnancy, but easier in childbirth. On illness: The illness is in the liver and kidney meridians, chronic and difficult to recover from, and it is advisable to pray for fortune and perform rituals to appease. On lawsuits: It can be mediated. On visiting: The day stem and day branch are connected by Liu He, indicating harmony between the host and guest. On travel: It is auspicious. On a traveler: The person is on the way. On capturing thieves: During the day, the thief is in the ships and carriages in the east; at night, the thief is in the gardens, fields, and farmlands in the due south. On military affairs: The ability to discern the first signs allows for minor use.
畢法云:三傳遞生人舉薦,初遭夾克不由己,六爻現卦防其克,虎乘遁鬼殃非淺。邵先生口議云:凡太歲未加子,或子加未,主井中有祟。克應經云:凡宅上見鬼,如為歲月破,主破家破祖破田畜小口妻財之應。
The *Bifa Fu* says: If the three transmissions are successively mutually generated, it indicates that someone will recommend the person; if the first transmission is caught between two forces, the matter will not be under one's own control; if all six lines appear in the divination hexagram, one should beware of them coming to harm me; if the White Tiger is riding on the ghostly spirits of the ten-day cycle, the calamity will be severe. Master Zhao's *Kuyi Jing* says: If the year ruler is not on the position of Zi, or if Zi is on the position of Wei, it indicates there is an evil spirit in the well. The *Ke Ying Jing* says: If the position of the dwelling place shows ghosts or spirits, and if it also meets the year break and month break, it indicates the family will be broken, the ancestral property will be ruined, the fields and livestock will be lost, and there will be harm to the children and wife's wealth.
On the Renzi day, seventh arrangement: stem on Si, branch on Zi
課體:反吟,勵德。課義:兩貴無力,博奕大獲,滿目錢財,身心疲役。解曰:巳貴臨亥,卯貴臨酉,晝夜俱被剋制,故爾無力。干支各自乘財,交互克取,如博奕角勝之類,可以大獲。但錢財雖然滿目,若秋冬遇之,身旺財弱,雖遍地蛇虎,而以凶制凶,求財何憂不得。春夏則財旺而身弱矣。蛇虎羊刃,來去沖迫,大費奔馳籌畫,所以身心疲役也。斷曰:無依之卦,反覆不常之象。凡占主有驚疑,美中不足。又干支相同,為借錢還債格。求財非宜,問官大利。然巳為破碎煞,又係德喪祿絕,止宜循理守正,不可恣意妄行。
The lesson pattern is reverse chant, and it also includes the virtue of merit. The lesson meaning says: the nobleman of day and night are both ineffective; gambling for victory can bring great gains, with plenty of money around, but the body and mind are exhausted. The explanation is:巳 is the nobleman of day but is located on 亥, and 卯 is the nobleman of night but is located on 酉. Both the day and night noblemen are restrained, so they have no strength. The day stem and day branch each carry the wealth sign, and they also mutually attack and take from each other, similar to gambling for victory, which can bring great gains. However, although there is plenty of money around, if this lesson occurs in autumn or winter, the body is strong but the wealth is weak. Even though there are many Teng Snakes and White Tigers, it is just right to use the凶 to control the 凶, so there is no worry about gaining wealth. But if it occurs in spring or summer, the wealth is strong but the body is weak. The Teng Snake, White Tiger, and Yangren together create a mutual attack and pressure, requiring much effort and planning, so the body and mind become tired. The conclusion says: this is a卦 without support, showing an image of constant change. Any divination will indicate uncertainty and a lack of perfection. Also, since the day stem and day branch have the same heavenly stem, it forms a pattern of borrowing and repaying debts. Seeking wealth is not suitable, but asking about official positions is very favorable. However,巳 is a breaking-up evil star, and it also meets the loss of the virtue of merit and the loss of the禄神, so it is better to follow the right path and not act recklessly.
天時:晴占則陰,雨占則晴。家宅:游都臨*干支上,夜乘元武發用,防有諮賊之驚。功名:德喪祿絕,主有不測,幸財旺生官,虛驚而已。求財:可得,秋冬更穩。婚姻:反吟課,不成。胎產:胎上神陽,主男,產順。
On weather: if it is sunny and one divines, it will turn cloudy; if it is rainy and one divines, it will clear up. On houses: if theJiesha is present on the day stem and day branch, and it is divined at night with theBlack Tortoise riding on top, it is considered asInitiating Transmission. One should beware of theft and disturbances. On official rank: if the day virtue is lost and the禄神 is in its decline, there will be unexpected changes, but since wealth is strong and can generate official stars, it is just a false alarm. On seeking wealth: one can obtain it, and it is more secure in autumn and winter. On marriage: if the lesson isReverse Chant, it will not succeed. On childbirth: the god of theFetal Spirit is yang, indicating a male child, and the delivery will be smooth.
疾病:心經之症,新病即痊,久病凶。爭訟:先發者少利。出行:干乘游都劫煞,支復逢元,防盜。行人:在途。捕獲:晝占在西南方,門牆城闕之所。兵戰:防劫掠。墳葬:在道路旁,可以發財。
On illness: Symptoms of the Heart Meridian, if newly developed, will recover quickly, but if long-standing, they are ominous. On lawsuits: The person who initiates the lawsuit first is unlikely to gain advantage. On travel: If the Day Stem is strong and accompanied by Jiesha, and the Day Branch meets the Black Tortoise, there is a need to beware of theft on the way. On travelers: They are still on the way. On capturing thieves: During the day, the thief is located in the Southwest direction, near the gates, walls, and towers. On military affairs: Be cautious of enemy raids. On burial: If the grave is near the road, it can bring wealth.
畢法云:兩貴受克難干貴,傳財化鬼財休覓。神定經云:反吟刑沖,有始無終,吉未得吉,凶未得凶。
The *Bi Fa Fu* says: If both the day and night noblemen are afflicted, it will be difficult to rely on a nobleman to accomplish matters; if the wealth hexagram in the three transmissions turns into a ghost, there is no need to seek wealth. The *Shen Ding Jing* says: In a reverse chant divination, there are mutual punishments and conflicts everywhere, affairs have no beginning or end, good fortune is not obtained, and misfortune does not reach its full extent.
On the Renzi day, the eighth arrangement: the stem is on the Chen branch.
課體:重審,鑄印,斬關。課義:兩貴引從,再復舊俸,久處沉滯,忽然擢用。解曰:支之華蓋,作干墓神,覆於日上,主人昏晦。亥祿為墓所掩,幸初末兩貴,引從日干。而中傳之戌,復來沖開辰墓,然後祿神得以無恙,是再復舊俸也。凡人之久處沉淪,一旦擢而用之者,其象如此。
The lesson pattern is "Re-examination," and it also meets the "Casting Seal" (the three transmissions are like melting metal to cast a seal, indicating the receipt of an official seal). The lesson meaning says: the nobleman appears before and follows behind in both day and night, restoring the old salary. Those who have long been in low positions suddenly get promoted. The explanation is: the Huagai deity is located on the day branch, which is exactly the storage of the day stem, covering the day stem's head, indicating confusion and obscurity in affairs. The water of the亥禄 is blocked by the storage. Fortunately, the first and final transmissions, two noblemen, lead and follow, protecting the day stem. Meanwhile, the middle transmission's戌 earth冲 opens the辰 storage, allowing the禄 to remain safe. This is how the old salary is restored. Those who have long been in low positions and suddenly get promoted have exactly this kind of situation.
斷曰:重審之課,事多不順,先暗後明,三傳鑄印。有位者占此,喜溢眉端。庶人占之,卻生災禍。又主得上人提攜,或兩處貴人引薦成事,難中有救之象。如八月占,辰為太陽,尤為喜慶非常也。
The interpretation says: This divination lesson indicates a matter that is mostly not smooth at first, but it will first be hidden and then become clear. The three transmissions form the casting seal pattern. A person in an official position who divines this lesson will be filled with joy, even to the point of smiling with delight. However, a common person who divines this lesson may instead face misfortune. It also indicates that one can receive support from a superior or be recommended by two noble persons, thus achieving the matter. It portrays an image of difficulty with rescue. If this is divined in August, when the dragon (Chen) is at the position of the sun, it will be particularly joyful.
天時:天罡指陰,主雨。家宅:人亨宅旺。功名:遇卯戌,升遷立至。求財:末助初財,求無不遂。婚姻:可成。胎產:鑄印課,又胎上乘祿,主生貴子,占產不易。疾病:心肝二經之病,久病凶,新病即愈。爭訟:甚凶,幸有解。投謁:甚利。出行:水陸咸宜,鑄印卯空,俟卯戌月日吉。行人:先有信至。捕獲:晝占賊在西南方,因飲食與人口角。兵戰:宜慎。
On weather: The Tiangang points to the Yin position, indicating rain. On residence: Human affairs are smooth and the household atmosphere is flourishing. On official rank: If the year is卯 or戌, or the month is卯 or戌, promotion will come immediately. On seeking wealth: The final transmission generates and supports the first transmission's wealth爻, so seeking wealth will not be unsatisfactory. On marriage: It can be successful. On childbirth: It is a casting of the seal, with theFetal Spirit also riding the禄神, indicating the birth of a noble child; when predicting childbirth, it is difficult. On illness: Illnesses of the heart and liver meridians are dangerous if long-term, but new illnesses will recover quickly. On litigation: It is very dangerous, but fortunately there is a way to resolve it. On visiting: It is very favorable. On travel: Traveling by water or land is both suitable; since it is a casting of the seal and卯 is empty, one must wait until the month or day of卯 or戌 to be auspicious. On the whereabouts of a person: Before departure, there will be a letter received. On capturing thieves: During the day, the thief is in the southwest, due to a quarrel over food and people. On military affairs: One should be cautious.
畢法云:前後引從升遷吉,華蓋覆日人昏晦。觀月經云:富貴天乙卦,發用最為良。四月申加卯,壬子入本鄉,富貴兼權印,福祿從天降。要覽云:末傳卯居旬後,謂之鑄印不成,必勉強而後可得。
The "Bifa Fu" says: If noblemen are present before and after, it indicates promotion and auspiciousness; if Huagai covers the day stem, it suggests confusion and lack of clarity in affairs. The "Guan Jingxue" says: This is a卦 of heavenly fortune and the ethereal master, and taking the initiating transmission is most favorable. For example, in the fourth month, when Shen is placed on Mao, and on Renzi day, it returns to its original position, one will attain both wealth and power, with blessings descending from heaven. The "Yaolan" says: If the卯 in the final transmission falls after the旬 empty, it is called "casting the seal without success," and one must exert great effort to achieve it.
On the Renzi day, Ninth Configuration: The stem is on the卯 (Mao) position.
課體:重審,曲直,斬關。課義:夜將難受,木局為救,晝卜俱空,占官虛謬。解曰:夜將貴勾太常皆土,壬水難受,卻賴木局為救神。但三傳盜氣,初末空亡,而晝將又乘天空,虛脫甚矣。惟常占喜木局制鬼,仕宦則剝官煞旺,竟成虛謬也。
The lesson pattern is a re-examination, with the three transmissions forming a wood pattern, which is of the curved and straight type, and also accompanied by a cutting gate. The lesson interpretation says: when divining at night, the heavenly general of water,壬, is difficult to bear, relying entirely on the wood pattern to save the situation; when divining by day, everything falls into emptiness, and asking about official position results in nothing but illusion. The explanation is: for night divination, the heavenly general, nobleman, Gou Chen (one of the twelve heavenly generals, governing disputes over land and entanglements), and Tai Chang all belong to earth, making it difficult for the water of壬 to bear, yet entirely relying on the wood pattern of the three transmissions as a saving deity. However, all three transmissions are stealing and draining the energy of the day stem, with the first and final transmissions falling into kongwang. For day divination, the heavenly general is also riding on Tian Kong, causing severe emptiness and depletion. Only ordinary people who divinate would like the wood pattern to control ghosts and spirits; but officials who divinate would find the wood pattern instead damaging the official star and promoting harmful energy, ultimately resulting in nothing but illusion.
斷曰:重審主有憂虞,斬關主有移動。局名曲直,其性曲折而直遂,有進退未決之象。發用水日逢丁,當因官鬼之財而動。未卯空陷,惟留中傳德祿,兼之儀神入宅,和合可望。但丁為日財,其實是鬼,火又生之,並土將克干,名子母鬼,主有骨肉解破其事。
The interpretation says: Re-examination indicates worry and fear, and breaking through the gate suggests movement and change. The structure is called "Curved and Straight," meaning it starts with twists and then becomes direct, implying indecision between advancing and retreating. The initiating transmission is water day meeting Ding, indicating movement due to matters related to official ghosts and wealth. Both Wei and Mao are empty and trapped, leaving only the middle transmission's day virtue and day fortune, plus the six instruments entering the dwelling position, which still offers hope for harmony. However, although Ding is the wealth of the day stem, it is actually a ghost, and fire is generating it. Additionally, the earth-type heavenly general is harming the day stem, which is called "mother and child ghosts," indicating that a close relative will interfere and disrupt the matter.
天時:天罡指陽,亥水夾克,主晴。家宅:干支上神六害,人宅不寧。功名:不利。求財:虛而不實。婚姻:不吉,亦不成。胎產:胎上乘陽,主男,干支上六害,產有厄。疾病:心腎二經受病,久病凶,新病即愈。爭訟:先發者不利。出行:驛馬居天中,天罡加四仲,道路阻塞。行人:初傳陷空,末遇天中,當因貴人官鬼之財阻滯。捕獲:賊在南方,斬關難獲。兵戰:先動少利。
On the weather: The Tiangang points to the Yang position, and the water of Hai is squeezed between two sides, indicating clear weather. On the house: The Day Stem and Day Branch are in mutual Six Harm, meaning both the person and the house are not peaceful. On fame and status: Unfavorable. On seeking wealth: Illusory and not substantial. On marriage: Unfavorable, and it will not succeed. On childbirth: TheFetal Spirit (fetus god) is accompanied by a Yang branch, indicating a male fetus; the Day Stem and Day Branch are in mutual harm, indicating danger during childbirth. On illness: The Heart and Kidney meridians are affected, chronic illness is dangerous, while new illness will recover quickly. On litigation: The one who initiates the lawsuit first is unfavorable. On travel: The Post-horse is in the Tian Kong position, and the Tiangang is added to the four central directions of Zi, Wu, Mao, and You, indicating blocked roads and difficult travel. On a traveler: The first transmission is empty, and the final transmission meets Tian Kong, indicating being delayed due to matters concerning a nobleman or official ghosts and money. On capturing thieves: The thief is in the south, and the lesson of cutting through the gate is difficult to capture. On military affairs: The party that attacks first will gain little advantage.
畢法云:眾鬼雖彰全不畏,彼此猜忌害相隨,合中犯煞蜜中砒,水日逢丁財動之。斷鑑云:木雖福德,究脫壬氣,幹事不宜託人。
The Bi Fa Fu says: Although many ghosts are apparent, as long as there is a saving deity, there is no need to fear; mutual suspicion and hatred arise because of the six harmful influences; when there is a harmonious aspect but aInauspicious Sha is involved, it is like sweet honey mixed with arsenic; when Ren and Gui water days meet the Ding deity, it indicates the movement of wealth. The Du Jian says: Although wood is the fortune virtue son and daughter trigram of Ren water, it ultimately drains the energy of Ren water, and it is not advisable to entrust matters to others.
On the Renzi day, the tenth layout: stem above Yin
課體:彈射,三交。課義:課無涯岸,執弓妄彈,末刃虎元,凶存吉散。解曰:寅卯旬空,巳午陷空,四課皆空,浩無涯岸。又彈射發用,是弓雖張而亡彈者也。日財臨空,中酉坐克,獨存末傳羊刃。晝虎夜元,吉則散而凶則存,何利之有。二貴皆空,求貴者業蒙許允,後卻被人攙越。斷曰:彈射無丸,事屬影鄉。三交之課,隱蔽欺私。干支上神,交互相脫,當有欺詐虛耗之事。晝蛇臨財,財有虛驚。夜空臨酉,婢女欺誑。凡事總當持正,素履無咎。
The lesson pattern is "Shooting an Arrow" (the four lessons have no mutual control; the day stem's remote controlling god is taken as the initiating transmission, like shooting an object with a bow, with shallow force and no real effect). It also carries the pattern of three mutuals. The lesson interpretation says: the entire lesson is aimless, like holding a bow and shooting into the air. The final transmission is the Yangren (a sharp weapon) riding the White Tiger and Black Tortoise. Good things disperse while bad ones remain. Explanation: the years of Yin and Mao fall in the empty place of the ten days, and the years of Si and Wu also fall into the empty place. All four lessons fall into empty places, leaving a vast and boundless emptiness. Adding the "Shooting an Arrow" pattern to determine the initiating transmission, it is exactly like a bow that is drawn but has no arrow. The day stem's wealth god falls into the empty place, and the metal of You in the middle transmission sits in a place of being controlled, leaving only the Yangren in the final transmission. During the day, it rides the White Tiger; at night, it rides the Black Tortoise. Good things disperse while bad ones remain, so there is no benefit. The two noblemen for day and night both fall into the empty place. A request for help from a nobleman was already accepted, but later it was taken by someone else. The conclusion says: shooting an arrow without an arrow, the matter falls into the realm of illusion. The pattern of three mutuals indicates hidden deceit and private wrongdoing. The day stem and day branch gods mutually weaken and escape, indicating fraud and loss. During the day, the Teng Snake is on the wealth god, indicating a false alarm regarding money. At night, the Tian Kong is on You, indicating a servant deceiving and misleading. In all matters, one should hold to the right path and act calmly and properly, thus avoiding mistakes.
天時:火空畢見,子水獨實,主雨。家宅:家匿陰私,虛耗不免。功名:已仕者,有遷轉之機,未仕者難得。求財:不惟不得,且防有失。婚姻:不吉,亦不成。胎產:孕產皆不利。疾病:心腎二經之症,新病即愈,久病則凶。爭訟:朱勾陷空受克,可以解散。出行:謹慎為要。行人:不至。捕獲:晝占在東南爐冶貴人家。兵戰:有失眾之虞。
On the weather: The fire deity is in an empty position while the Net mansion appears, only the Zi water is real, indicating rain. On the house: The family is hiding secret matters, and there will be unavoidable losses. On official positions: Those already in office may have opportunities for transfer, while those not yet in office will find it difficult to obtain positions. On seeking wealth: Not only will one not gain anything, but one should also be cautious of losses. On marriage: Unfavorable, and the marriage will not succeed. On childbirth: Both pregnancy and childbirth are unfavorable. On illness: Illnesses of the heart and kidney meridians, new illnesses will recover quickly, but long-term illnesses are dangerous. On lawsuits: Both the Vermilion Bird and Gou Chen are in empty positions and are being attacked, so the lawsuit can be resolved. On travel: Caution is essential. On the whereabouts of a person: The person will not arrive. On capturing thieves: During the day, the thief is in the southeastern direction, in a wealthy family engaged in metalworking. On military affairs: There is concern of losing soldiers and generals.
畢法云:人宅受脫俱招盜,二貴皆空虛喜期。課經云:支干上皆乘脫氣,占病必因屋宅費用致心氣虛憊,補元可愈。占式云:元武臨亥,渭武入賊鄉,必有失脫。午加卯用,主託人失節。登歌云:一彈打雙鴻,須知兩用心,有謀雖所中,所望不全成。
The "Bifa Fu" states: When both the person and the dwelling are drained, theft is likely to occur; if the nobleman in both day and night positions is absent, joy is only empty. The "Ke Jing" says: If both the day stem and day branch are occupied by draining spirits, the illness is caused by financial burdens, leading to a weak and exhausted spirit; treating it by replenishing vital energy can cure it. The "Zhan Shi" says: If the Black Tortoise is on the亥 position, it is called the Black Tortoise entering the thief's den, indicating certain loss; if the午 is on the卯 and serves as the initiating transmission, it signifies entrusting someone to do a task but the person fails to fulfill the trust. The "Deng Ge" says: A single stone bullet aiming at two flying geese shows divided attention; although one plan may succeed, the desired outcome cannot all be achieved.
On the Renzi day, the eleventh arrangement: stem above Chou
課體:重審,勵德,間傳,六儀,泆女,登三天。課義:自墓傳生,交合相併,劣猿難靠,羸馬難乘。解曰:初傳辰乃日墓,末傳申乃長生,是自墓傳生也。子支與干上丑合,壬干與支上寅合,是交合相併也,凡事先迷後醒,交關最利。但發用空亡,中傳之午屬馬,坐墓受脫則羸矣,何可乘乎。末傳之申屬猴,被午剋制則劣矣,詎足靠哉。斷曰:登三天課,至高至危之象。重審發用,百凡猶豫。幸屬六儀,可以化凶為吉。占者主初值艱難,後主成合。
The lesson pattern is a re-examination, combining the aspects of moral encouragement, intermittent transmission, the "Six Instruments" (the first day of the ten-day period, which indicates a transformation from misfortune to good fortune), the "flowing woman," and the "ascending to the three heavens" in the three transmissions at the hours of辰, 午, and 申. The lesson meaning says: from the storage to the growth, they intersect and combine. Unfortunately, the monkey is weak and unreliable, and the horse is thin and unfit to ride. The explanation says: the first transmission at辰 is the storage of the day stem, and the final transmission at申 is the growth of the day stem, which is a transition from storage to growth. The day branch 子 combines with the day stem's 丑, and the stem 壬 combines with the day branch's 寅, which is a mutual combination. All matters begin with confusion and then clarity, making trade transactions particularly favorable. However, the initiating transmission falls in Kongwang; the middle transmission at午 is the horse, sitting on the storage and being drained, thus becoming thin and unfit to ride. The final transmission at申 is the monkey, being controlled by the fire of午, thus becoming weak and unreliable. The conclusion says: a lesson with the "ascending to the three heavens" is an image of utmost height and danger. A re-examination with the initiating transmission leads to hesitation in all matters. Fortunately, it belongs to the Six Instruments, which can transform misfortune into good fortune. The diviner indicates that the matter begins with difficulty but ultimately ends in harmony.
天時:角星指陽,時而有風。家宅:元后乘馬,臨宅脫干支,須防奸盜,如八月晝占,有內外孝服。功名:青龍乘生內戰,主有升遷。求財:始艱,終可得。婚姻:后合不宜。胎產:孕女,產不利。疾病:登三天,難愈。爭訟:當至朝省,至凶之地。出行:水路防盜。行人:未歸。兵戰:不利。
On weather: The Horn mansion points to the yang position, with occasional winds. On housing: The Black Tortoise and Heavenly Empress ride the post-horse, affecting the house position and draining the energy of the day stem and day branch, so be cautious of infidelity and theft; if the divination is made during the day in the eighth month, there will be mourning within and outside the family. On official rank: The Azure Dragon is on the position of growth, with internal conflict, indicating promotion. On seeking wealth: initially difficult, but eventually obtainable. On marriage: although the Heavenly Empress and Liu He are present, it is still not advisable to discuss marriage. On childbirth: the fetus is female, and delivery is unfavorable. On illness: the lesson is on the third heaven, making the illness difficult to recover from. On lawsuits: the case will reach the imperial court and provincial departments, which is the most dangerous place. On travel: traveling by water requires prevention of theft. On people away: they have not returned yet. On military affairs: it is unfavorable.
畢法云:二貴俱空虛喜期,罡塞鬼戶任謀為,干墓並關人宅廢,制鬼之位乃良醫。古鑑:卯加丑占身命,曰:此課於細微中出入,卻能顯煥。宅居西北,漸出東南,主有財有壽。蓋壬子皆在西北,主幽燕之地,轉出東南旺盛之方。宅上寅為子息值空,初傳辰為鬼,又臨子嗣空亡之地,中傳得孫為財,末又長生,臨於財及子孫之上,故主有壽有財。子雖先死,得孫送老也,後皆驗。
The "Bifa Fu" states: When both the day and night noblemen fall into the empty position, joy is only empty delight; when the Tiangang (Chen) blocks the ghost's gate, one may freely plan; when the day stem's storage and burial place are blocked by barriers, both person and dwelling will decline; the one who can subdue ghosts and spirits is the true physician. The "Gujian" records: Using the卯 (Mao) added to丑 (Chou) to cast a horoscope for the body and destiny, the interpretation says: This lesson has subtle variations but can bring great glory. The dwelling is in the northwest, gradually moving towards the southeast, indicating wealth and longevity. Because the壬 (Ren) and子 (Zi) are in the northwest, indicating the region of Youyan, which will turn towards the prosperous southeast. The position of寅 (Yin) in the dwelling is the position of sons and daughters but falls into the empty position; the first transmission is辰 (Chen), which is the ghost, and also falls into the position of sons and daughters' emptiness. The middle transmission is the grandson acting as the wealth element, and the final transmission is the growth, which is on top of the wealth element and the grandson. Therefore, there will be both longevity and wealth. Although the son dies first, the grandson will be present at the end, and this later came true.
