On the Wuwu day, the tenth layout: the stem is on the Shaen.

課體：重審，三交。課義：貴坐魁罡，中末空亡，獨存初酉，脫敗非常。

The lesson pattern is "Chongshen" combined with the three mutual conflicts and interactions between the heavenly stems and earthly branches. The lesson meaning states: two noblemen are seated on the two prisons, Tiankui Xu and Tiangang Chen; the middle transmission and final transmission both fall into kongwang; only the first transmission You Jin remains, but it is a very heavy case of losing strength and a poor place.

解曰：丑為晝貴，臨於天魁之上。未為夜貴，臨於天罡之上。貴人坐獄，不可干也。中子旬空，末卯空陷，獨存初傳酉金，乃戊干之脫氣，又是敗鄉。三傳之中。一無可取。

Chou is the nobleman of the day, located above the Tiankui Xu; Wei is the nobleman of the night, located above the Tiangang Chen. When the nobleman is in prison, one cannot seek his help. The middle transmission is Zi water, which is empty for the current ten days, and the final transmission is Mao wood, which also falls into kongwang. Only the first transmission has You metal; but You is a spirit that drains Wu earth, and it is in a declining position. Among the three transmissions, there is nothing worth taking.

斷曰：三交之課，止利陰私，自乾土生金，迤邐生至末傳，反來傷日，有恩中成怨之象。申為長生加干，晝乘青龍。九月占生氣在申，諸事若有神佑，日後生意漸昌。

The Three Intersections lesson is only favorable for private matters done in secret. Earth from the Qian position generates metal, which then successively generates through the transmission until it reaches the final transmission, which then turns back to harm the day stem. This is an image of affection turning into resentment. The metal of Shen is the long life of Wu earth and is placed over the day stem. During the day, it is also accompanied by the Azure Dragon. In September, the life qi is at Shen, so all matters seem to be protected by a divine being, and business will gradually become more prosperous in the future.

天時：水母乘龍，畢宿發用，雨而不晴。家宅：敗氣臨家，宅衰人旺。功名：子孫克官，占名不利。求財：財爻空陷，得不償費。婚姻：不成，亦不佳。胎產：男孕產吉，占胎防損。

Heavenly Time: The water deity governing rain rides the Azure Dragon, and the Net mansion also serves as the Initiating Transmission, resulting in rain without clearing up. Family Residence: The decaying and extinct energy affects the family residence, indicating a decline in the house but prosperity for its inhabitants. Achievements: The son's trigram overcomes the official star, making it unfavorable for fame. Seeking Wealth: The wealth trigram is both empty and buried, leading to gains that do not compensate for the expenses. Marriage: It cannot be formed, and even if it is, it will not be good. Pregnancy and Childbirth: A male child is conceived, and the delivery is favorable, but caution is needed during the pregnancy period to prevent injury.

疾病：肺經受病，胎氣傷生，久病凶。遺失：在銅鐵空器中，門戶之內。出行：斷橋課，防中阻。行人：占子孫當立至。捕獲：在西南四十里空井左右。兵戰：勾陳乘敗，未見其利。

Disease: The illness is in the lung meridian, with the fetal qi damaging the vital energy; prolonged illness is ominous. Lost items: The lost things are in a metal or iron container, and have not yet left the door. Travel: This is a lesson of a broken bridge, beware of obstacles on the way. Traveler: If this is for the sake of grandchildren, the person will arrive immediately. Capture: The thief is near a dry well forty li southwest. Warfare: Gou Chen is riding a declining qi, there is no apparent advantage.

畢法云：龍加生氣吉遲遲，不行傳者考初時。課經云：不行傳者，乃中末空亡，只以初傳斷其吉凶，言其事類。倘中末之財官既空，獨餘敗氣，必好事無而惡事有也。秘覽云：日生上神，虛費百出。魯門經云：春酉將戊午日，酉加牛：臨仲發用，斗繫丑未，為二煩課。集義云：酉加干乘勾陳，來意孟議婚姻，纏綿不成。

The *Bi Fa Fu* says: When the Azure Dragon is over the Life Qi, auspicious matters come slowly; if the three transmissions are not flowing, only the first transmission should be considered. The *Ke Jing* explains: "Not following the transmission" means that the middle and final transmissions both fall into Kongwang; only the first transmission can be used to determine fortune and misfortune, and to explain matters. If the middle and final transmissions' wealth yao and official stars have already fallen into Kongwang, and only a defeated qi remains, then there will be no good things but bad ones. The *Mi Lan* says: When the day stem approaches the birth god, money flows in continuously. The *Lu Men Jing* says: On a Wuwu day in spring, with You as the month general, You is placed on Chou, and initiates the transmission at Zhong position, with the handle of the ladle between Chou and Wei, this is called "Er Fan Ke." The *Ji Yi* says: When You is placed on the day stem and rides Gou Chen, the person originally intended to discuss marriage, but the matter became complicated and failed.

課體：重審，涉三淵，間傳。課義：往來交媾，長生可就，唯忌取財，苗而不秀。

Lesson Pattern consists of three aspects: 'Re-examination'; 'Involving Three Depths' where the three transmissions proceed downward through Shen, Xu, and Zi; and 'Intermediary Transmission' where the three transmissions move in alternate positions. The meaning of the lesson states: the heavenly stems and earthly branches interact and exchange; the god of growth can be relied upon; but one should be cautious about taking the wealth, for taking it would be like uprooting the sprout without allowing it to bear grain.

解曰：日上之未土，與支辰之午火相合。支上之申金，與日干之巳火相合，是往來交媾也。支上申金發用，可就以資其長生，雖乘白虎，臨午燒身，不足畏也。唯末傳子水之財，旬空坐克，夜乘白虎，取之反有費用，所謂苗而不秀也。

The earth element of the day stem, Wu earth, combines with the fire element of the day branch, Wu fire. The metal element of the day branch, Shen metal, also combines with the fire element of the戊 earth, which is located in Si. This is a mutual interaction and combination. The Shen metal of the day branch serves as the initiating transmission, which is appropriate for the growth of Wu earth. Although it is accompanied by the White Tiger and is located on Wu fire, which is being burned, it is not a cause for concern. However, the final transmission, which is the water element of Zi, representing wealth, is in the empty旬 and is located in a position that is being restrained. It also has the White Tiger at night. Trying to take it would result in loss, which is referred to as 'pulling out the seed but not getting the grain'.

斷曰：涉三淵之課，自明入暗，間傳而進。事有艱辛，大求小獲，有始無終之象。凡占出旬，方有把握。

The divination shows moving from a clear place into darkness, with the three transmissions advancing in sequence but separated. The matter will be difficult to accomplish, with much effort but little reward, starting well but ending poorly. Any divination must wait until the current ten-day period is completed and the kongwang is filled before it can be certain.

天時：發用水母受克，日上乘空，晝占不雨。家宅：支上陰神，晝夜乘元，謹防家賊。功名：晝貴登天，夜貴臨干，大吉。求財：不能如意。婚姻：女子甚悍，卻益夫宜子。

Heavenly Conditions: The water deity in the initiating transmission is being overcome, and the day stem is also occupied by kongwang, so it will not rain during the day. Family Residence: The yin deity of the day branch is occupied by the black tortoise both day and night, so one must be careful to prevent internal thieves in the family. Achievements: The nobleman of the day appears at the heavenly gate during the day, and the nobleman of the night approaches the day stem, which is very auspicious. Seeking Wealth: It will not be satisfactory. Marriage: The woman is very fierce in nature, but she is beneficial to her husband and suitable for her children.

胎產：交車相合，胎吉產凶。疾病：晝占肝病，夜占心疾，不久自愈。出行：有阻。行人：未至。捕獲：有北方近水女人窩住。兵戰：利客不利主。墳葬：長生臨支，墓乘六合，理氣俱合。

Fetus and childbirth: When the heavenly stem and earthly branch meet and harmonize, it is auspicious for the fetus but inauspicious for giving birth. Illness: If divined during the day, it indicates a disease of the liver meridian; if divined at night, it indicates a disease of the heart meridian. The illness will soon heal on its own. Travel: There are obstacles. Traveler: Has not yet arrived. Capture: There is a woman living near water in the north who is hiding the person. Military conflict: Advantageous for the guest army but not for the host army. Burial: The god of growth is present at the day branch, and the tomb god is riding theLiu He, the situation and qi energy are both harmonious.

畢法云：交車相合交關利，罡塞鬼戶任謀為。課經云：辰為天罡，寅為鬼戶，凡辰加寅為罡塞鬼戶。不論在傳不在傳，能使眾鬼不敢窺覷。集義云：申加午為用，主爐火之事。若天后臨之，水能破火，主事不成。神定經云：空財坐於元墓，諸事必有失耗。會通云：申加午，為白虎投朱雀；午加辰，為朱雀投勾陳，皆主訟事。

The *Bi Fa Fu* says: When the heavenly stems and earthly branches meet and combine, trade and exchanges are beneficial; when the Tiangang blocks the ghost gate, no matter how one plans, it will proceed smoothly. The *Ke Jing* explains: Chen is the Tiangang, and Yin is the ghost gate. Whenever Chen is placed on Yin, it is called "Tiangang blocking the ghost gate," and regardless of whether this pattern is within the three transmissions, it will make all ghosts dare not to peek. The *Ji Yi* says: When Shen is placed on Wu and serves as the initiating transmission, it indicates matters related to smelting and forging; if the Heavenly Empress is above it, water can extinguish fire, and the matter will not succeed. The *Shen Ding Jing* says: A lost wealth爻 sitting on the tomb of the Black Tortoise indicates that all matters will suffer loss and damage. The *Hui Tong* says: When Shen is placed on Wu, it is called "White Tiger entering the Vermilion Bird," and when Wu is placed on Chen, it is called "Vermilion Bird entering Gou Chen," both indicating legal disputes.

課體：別責，不備，六儀。課義：彼來生己，守之如意，倘若動謀，鬼刃俱值。

The three types of lesson patterns are: 'Bie Ze' (separate blame), which refers to the four lessons not being complete and using borrowed combinations to transmit; 'Bu Bei' (incomplete), which refers to the absence of one of the four lessons; and 'Liu Yi' (six instruments), which refers to the initiating transmission based on the god of the beginning of the ten-day period. The lesson meaning states: the day branch comes to the day stem, and if it remains in place, it is called contentment and satisfaction; but if it moves recklessly for affairs, it will inevitably meet the official ghost and Yangren together.

解曰：支來加干生干，上門相惠也。守其生旺，自然如意，倘若妄動，則逢初傳之寅鬼，中傳之羊刃，為禍不淺矣。

The day branch adds to the day stem and supports it, symbolizing someone bringing benefits. By maintaining this supportive and prosperous energy, everything will go smoothly. However, if one acts recklessly, they will encounter the initial transmission's寅 wood official ghost and the middle transmission's Yangren, leading to serious troubles.

斷曰：別責之課，事非一途，支干各乘羅網，惟利守己，不利動謀。支來臨日生日，格名自在，經所謂有恢拓之志也。

Different types of divination lessons indicate that matters are not limited to a single course of action; both the day stem and day branch are riding on the heavenly net and earthly trap, which is favorable for maintaining one's position but not for taking action or making plans. The day branch approaches the day stem and also generates the day stem, forming a pattern called "Self-Enjoyment." The classic texts say this represents the image of having aspirations for expansion.

天時：水下火上，發用青龍入廟，未能得雨。家宅：人旺宅衰。功名：晝龍臨干，夜貴入宅，官爻大旺，仕途得意。求財：晝占可望。婚姻：不備課，不吉。胎產：女孕，產順。疾病：脾病，易痊。出行：安吉。行人：即至。捕獲：江海賊人。兵戰：先憂後喜。

Heavenly conditions: Water is below and fire is above, the initiating transmission of the Azure Dragon returns to its own temple, and rain cannot be obtained. For the household: the family is flourishing but the household energy is weak. For official rank: during the day, the Azure Dragon is present with the day stem, at night, the nobleman enters the household position, the official element is very strong, and the official career is satisfactory. For seeking wealth: during the day, there is hope of obtaining it. For marriage: the four lessons are not complete, which is not auspicious. For pregnancy and childbirth: the fetus is female, and the childbirth is smooth. For illness: illness of the spleen meridian, which is easily cured. For travel: safe and auspicious. For a person on the way: will arrive soon. For capturing: it refers to thieves on rivers, lakes, and seas. For military conflict: first there is worry, then there is joy.

畢法云：所謀多拙逢羅網。古鑑：辛未生人，十月卯將寅時占官職，曰：占者今無正位，必主上司責罰，別有遷改。初傳寅木，乃是日鬼。鬼生午火，午為十月天鬼，與宅上未合。宅眷當有死者，是月果死三人。後因提舉檢踏常平倉事露，遂至罷斥。

The "Bifa Fu" says: When encountering the Heavenly Net and Earthly Trap, most plans will be clumsy and fail. The "Gujian" records a case: A person born in the Xinwei year, in the tenth lunar month, used the卯 (Mao) as the month general and the寅 (Yin) hour for an official position divination. The interpreter said: This person currently holds no official position, will certainly be punished by his superior, and will be transferred to another post. The first transmission is寅 wood, which is the official ghost of the day stem. The寅 ghost generates午 fire, which in the tenth lunar month is the heavenly ghost, and it combines with the未 (Wei) on the house, indicating that someone in the family will die. That month indeed three family members died. Later, because he was in charge of inspecting the constant grain store and the matter was exposed, he was finally dismissed.

斷驗：戊申二月亥將戌時占病，曰：天鬼午火，受寅鬼之生，必犯東嶽及城隍香火，遂致染疫，主合宅皆病。蓋春占寅木正旺，鬼極有氣，故不止一人也。其家果病七人，後死三人。急告神靈禳之，餘人遂起。蓋干上中末，天鬼有三，所以有三人不起也。

The "Duanyan" records a case: in the year of Wushen, second month, with Hai as the month general and Xu hour for a divination on illness. The diviner said: the heavenly ghost Wu fire is generated by Yin wood official ghost, so this person must have offended the incense offerings of the Eastern Mountain Temple and the City God Temple, thus contracting an epidemic disease, and the whole family would fall ill; because in spring the Yin wood is at its peak, the ghost energy is very strong, so more than one person would be affected. Indeed, seven family members became ill, and later three died. They quickly prayed to the deities for exorcism, and the rest recovered. This was because the day stem and the middle transmission and final transmission together had three layers of heavenly ghosts, so three people could not be saved.

課體：伏吟，稼穡。課義：支干相逢，中末刑空，無異獨足，晝虎三重。

The lesson pattern is characterized by the various deities each occupying their own position in a 'Hidden Chant' and the three transmissions all belonging to earth in a 'Cultivation and Harvest' pattern. The lesson meaning states that the day stem and day branch meet at the same position; the middle transmission and final transmission each involve a crime and a void respectively. This is like walking on one leg only. If the divination is done in the daytime, there are three White Tigers facing the person.

解曰：己課寄未，未即己也。以未加己，乃是支干相逢。中傳丑土遇空，末傳戌亦空陷。三傳四課，獨有一未，並無他神相耦，何以異於獨足哉。晝占三重白虎，病訟尤不能免，不特謀望，不成已也。

The day stem is Ji Tu, and the lodgment palace is in Wei. Wei is equivalent to Ji. Placing Wei on top of Ji means the day stem and day branch meet directly. The middle transmission is Chou soil which falls into kongwang, and the final transmission is Xu soil which also falls into kongwang. Among the three transmissions and four lessons, there is only one character 'Wei', and no other deity pairs with it. This is like walking on one leg. During the day, there are three white tigers, making illness and litigation especially unavoidable. It is not only that the intended affairs cannot be accomplished, but also that other misfortunes are likely to occur.

斷曰：獨足之課，事有難行。中傳空亡，又名斷橋折腰，必有中阻。商賈逢之，宜水路舟船，或小車獨載，以應獨足之意。干支同位，傳內輾轉相刑，凡占皆無和氣。

A single-footed divination indicates that affairs will find it difficult to proceed. The middle transmission falls into an empty position, also called "broken bridge and bent waist," meaning there will certainly be obstacles along the way. Merchants encountering this should travel by water using a boat or use a small cart to carry goods alone, in accordance with the meaning of "single-footed." The day stem and day branch are in the same position, and within the three transmissions, there is mutual punishment among the elements. In all divinations, there is a lack of harmony.

天時：天地不動，支干相併，晴占則晴，雨占則雨。家宅：蛇虎滿前，人宅罹患，至凶之象。功名：寅卯子午年命人吉。求財：劫財重重，不利。婚姻：家世相當，必係舊親，然無吉象。

Heavenly circumstances: The heavens and earth remain still, with the heavenly stems and earthly branches both in one position. If the sky is clear, the prediction will be clear; if it is rainy, the prediction will be rainy. Family dwelling: White Tiger and Teng Snake fill the view, causing harm to both people and the dwelling, indicating an extremely凶ous situation. Achievements: Those whose birth year and current year are in the positions of Yin, Mao, Zi, or Wu will have good fortune. Seeking wealth: There are multiple layers of劫财, which is unfavorable. Marriage: The two families are of similar status, and they must be former relatives, but there is no favorable sign.

胎產：女孕，腹空易產。疾病：腎水受傷，二八月占凶。遺失：物在家內。出行：不宜。行人：中路有阻。捕獲：伏於西北娼妓家。兵戰：主客相等，未見其利。

Talents: A female fetus is carried, and the fetal god is in an empty position, making childbirth easier. Disease: Kidney water is damaged, and it is ominous to consult in the second and eighth months. Lost items: The things are still at home. Travel: Not advisable. Travelers: Blocked halfway. Capture: The thief is hiding in the house of a prostitute in the northwest. Warfare: The opposing sides are evenly matched, and there is no obvious advantage.

畢法云：不行傳者考初時。課經云：伏吟取刑為傳，今中傳空亡，不能刑至末傳，故前後進退皆難。如占他事，必先得人允許後不踐信。若占人年命是巳，則丁馬交加，其動甚急，年命上乘魁罡，亦有動象。秘要云：蛇虎入宅，非驚即失。

The "Bifa Fu" says: If the three transmissions do not flow smoothly, only examine the time of the first transmission. The "Ke Jing" explains: In aHidden Chant lesson, take the gods involved in punishment and clash as the three transmissions. Now, the middle transmission falls into an empty position, punishment does not reach the final transmission, so it is difficult to move forward and difficult to retreat. If this is used to divinate other matters, it must be that one first gets the other party's agreement, but afterwards fails to keep the promise. If the diviner's own birth year and destiny is巳, then the丁 god and the post-horse meet, and movement is extremely urgent; if the birth year's upper element is天魁戌 or天罡辰, there is also a sign of movement. The "Mi Yao" says: If the Teng Snake and White Tiger enter the dwelling position, it is either a shock or a loss of property.

課體：八專，帷簿。課義：從軍食祿，方才享福，惟忌晝空，占病必哭。

The lesson pattern is "Ba Zhuang," where the heavenly stems and earthly branches are in the same palace, and the four lessons form only two. It is also called "Wei Bu," indicating mixed presence of men and women and disorder within the household. The meaning of the lesson states: one can only enjoy blessings by joining the military and receiving a salary; it is particularly unfavorable if the time of divination is during the day and the禄神 (favorable deity) is absent; if this lesson is used to divinate for a sick person, it certainly indicates the need to hold a funeral.

解曰：午火屬離，有王用出征之象。又為日之旺祿，臨於干支之上，故宜食從軍之祿，而享其福也。晝占午祿乘空，又非旺祿之比。若占病人，則祿空必致絕食而死矣。

The fire of Wu belongs to the trigram Li in the Eight Trigrams. The Li hexagram in the Zhou Changes mentions "the king goes out to campaign," indicating an image of military action. Wu is also the flourishing and prosperous position for Ji day stems. When Wu appears on the day stem and day branch, it is favorable for receiving military salary and enjoying its benefits. One may consult during the day, as the Wu禄 is riding on Kongwang, which cannot be compared with a solid and prosperous禄. If consulting for a sick person, the禄 god falling into Kongwang will surely lead to inability to take in water and food, resulting in death.

斷曰：八專之課，尊卑共室，人宅不分，多有失禮之象。喜中末二傳，及干支上神重疊相生。若仕宦夜占，又當旺相，則名通利達，必歷要津，常人須防文書口舌。

In a divination where the heavenly stem and earthly branch are in the same palace, there is an indication of a superior and inferior person living in the same room, and a close relationship between person and dwelling, which often suggests a lack of propriety and crossing of boundaries. However, this is somewhat reassuring as the middle transmission and final transmission, along with the heavenly stem and earthly branch, show a layered mutual generation. If someone in official position comes to consult at night and it is during a prosperous and strong period, then their reputation will be well known, their official career will proceed smoothly, and they will certainly hold important positions. For ordinary people, however, they should be cautious of disputes related to documents and words.

天時：日辰上乘天空朱雀，晝夜晴明。家宅：家道饒裕，晝占防有誆騙。功名：夜占官文甚旺，一歲九遷。求財：文書甚旺，不求自至。婚姻：帷簿不修，占婚最忌。

Heavenly conditions: The day stem and day branch are occupied by Tian Kong and Vermilion Bird, indicating clear weather both day and night. Family affairs: The family is wealthy, but during the day one should beware of being deceived by others. Official rank: At night, the official star and document energy are extremely strong, allowing for nine promotions within a year. Seeking wealth: The energy of documents is very strong, and wealth will come without seeking. Marriage: A lack of propriety in the household and improper conduct within the family are most undesirable in a marriage divination.

胎產：胎之陰神屬陰，孕女，天魁臨亥，產遲。疾病：心經受病，或口不能言之疾，難愈。遺失：在中堂覓取。出行：人宅相戀，不能動身。行人：得意即回。捕獲：在西北方。兵戰：主客相同，勢均力敵。

Fetus and childbirth: The spirit of the fetus is also yin, indicating a female fetus; the Tiankui (a beneficial star) is located on the亥 (Hai) position, so childbirth will be delayed. Disease: The illness is in the heart meridian, possibly a condition where the person cannot speak, and it is difficult to recover. Lost items: Look for them in the central hall. Travel: Both the person and the house are attached to each other, and there is no movement. Traveler: Wait until he is satisfied and then he will return. Capture: The thief is in the northwest. Military conflict: Both sides are in a similar situation, evenly matched.

畢法云：魁度天門關隔定。課經云；戌為天魁，亥為天門，戌加亥為魁度天門，諸占皆有阻隔。纂要云：日之祿神，復作日之旺神，臨於干上者，切不可舍此而別謀動作。初傳卯鬼可畏，不可憑依。中末仍歸日上，所謂到處去來，不如在此也。匯函云：午火乘雀，名為真朱，文書必達朝廷。

The *Bifa Fu* says: When Tiankui passes over Tianmen, there will certainly be obstacles. The *Ke Jing* explains: Xu is Tiankui, Hai is Tianmen, and when Xu is placed over Hai, it is called "Tiankui passing over Tianmen," and in all divinations there will be obstructions. The *Zuanyao* says: The day stem's禄神 (favorable deity) also serves as the day stem's旺神 (prosperous deity) and is placed on the stem; one must not ignore it and seek other actions. The first transmission is卯 wood, which represents official ghosts, something to be feared but not relied upon; the middle and final transmissions still return to the day stem, which is exactly what is meant by "running around everywhere is not as good as staying here." The *Huihan* says: When午 fire is accompanied by Zhuque, it is called "true Zhuque," and official documents will certainly reach the imperial court.

課體：八專，帷簿，孤辰。課義：破碎作空，費耗貧窮，丁馬遍佈。一世飄蓬。

"Lesson Pattern" refers to the name of the structure of this divination case, and there are three in this case: "Eight Specials" indicates that the heavenly stem and earthly branch of Jiwei day are in the same palace, with the Heaven Plate and Earth Plate overlapping, making the distinction between person and self unclear; "Vimboo" signifies disorder within the inner chamber and lack of distinction between men and women; "Guchen" signifies loneliness and lack of support. "Lesson Meaning" is a four-character rhymed summary of the overall fortune and misfortune of the case, which states: the first transmission has taken a broken and凶ous spirit, and it falls in the place of旬空, leading to the wasteful loss of wealth and ultimately poverty; the hidden丁spirit of this旬 and the Post-horse are widespread throughout the plate, causing instability and uncertainty, so a person's life is like floating reed grass, drifting with the wind.

解曰：發用丑為破碎，又作空亡。晝蛇夜虎，破碎耗散，必至貧窮而後已也。干支中末，巳火四重，既是旬丁，又為驛馬。晝占上乘青龍，動而不止，了無定蹤，豈能免一世之飄蓬乎。

The Three Transmissions refer to the First Transmission, Middle Transmission, and Final Transmission. In this case, the First Transmission is taken as the Earthly Branch Chou (丑), which is a broken andInauspicious Sha (malevolent) element on the Jiwei day. Chou falls into the empty place of this旬 (decade). During the day, it is governed by the Teng Snake, and at night, by the White Tiger, both beingInauspicious General (malevolent generals). The trend of destruction and loss has already begun, with wealth continuously dispersing until ultimate poverty is reached. The Day Stem, Day Branch, Middle Transmission, and Final Transmission all repeatedly produce the Fire element Si (巳). Si is both the hidden god obtained in this旬 and theThe Post-horse (post-horse) of the Jiwei day. One indicates movement, the other indicates travel. During the day, Si is also governed by the Azure Dragon, constantly moving and without fixed whereabouts. Such a person cannot escape a lifetime of wandering.

斷曰：八專之課，劫財發用，凡占不免耗費。又名帷簿不修，占者總宜正己持身，家庭清肅，方免無事。孤辰發傳，僧道相宜，絕氣臨干，宜結舊事。四六月占之吉。

The characteristic of the Eight Special Divination is that the day stem and day branch are in the same palace, making it difficult to distinguish between the person and others. In this case, the initiating transmission is the earth ox, which signifies a loss of wealth. Anyone who consults this divination is likely to incur expenses. This divination is also known as "Wen Bu Bu Xiu," meaning disorder within the family, indicating lack of distinction between men and women. Therefore, those who consult this divination should focus on improving their own conduct and maintaining proper family discipline to ensure peace. The first transmission is Guchen, which is suitable for those who wish to leave home and pursue a spiritual path. The day stem, which is earth, is currently at its end, so it is advisable to conclude past matters rather than start new ones. It is auspicious to consult this divination in the fourth or sixth month.

天時：發用土神，中末乘龍生日，不能有雨。家宅：宅上乘青龍六合生支，宅中必有喜慶事。功名：青龍驛馬甚眾，當得美差。求財：青龍生日，宜有往來行動之財。婚姻：門楣相當，必宜速就。胎產：女孕，晝占吉，夜占產遲。疾病：腎經受病，齒牙成疾，未愈。遺失：婢女竊。出行：水陸兩途，晝夜皆吉。行人：馬在干支，即可抵家。兵戰：晝夜俱不甚利。

Questioning about the weather: The first transmission is governed by the earth deity, and the middle and final transmissions are supported by the Azure Dragon, which generates and supports the day stem. Fire and earth are strong, so rain will not come soon. Questioning about the household: The domestic爻 is accompanied by the Azure Dragon and Liu He, both heavenly generals support the day branch, indicating there will be joyful events at home. Questioning about official rank: The Azure Dragon and the post-horse appear together, which can lead to a good position. Questioning about wealth: The Azure Dragon generates the day stem, so wealth should be sought through movement and interaction. Questioning about marriage: Both families are of equal status, so it is advisable to decide quickly. Questioning about pregnancy: The fetus is female, and the divination is favorable during the day, but the birth will be delayed at night. Questioning about illness: The illness is in the kidney meridian, accompanied by dental problems, and it will be difficult to recover soon. Questioning about lost items: It was taken by a servant girl in the house. Questioning about travel: Both water and land routes are possible, and both day and night divinations are favorable. Questioning about a traveler: The post-horse is on the day stem and day branch, so the person can return home soon. Questioning about warfare: Whether divined in the day or night, it is not very favorable.

畢法云：干支值絕凡謀決，龍加生氣吉遲遲(六月占)。課經云：青龍乘生干之神，又作月內之生氣者，雖目下未即崢嶸，卻能徐徐發福。此例喻君子孟施惠於人，不言而有待，尤耐歲寒。照膽秘訣云：用空傳復支與干，舊久重新廢孟完。三才賦云：巳亥逢驛馬並駕，在路奔騰。玉成歌云：父母臨干憂子孫。

The "Bifa Fu" says that when both the day stem and day branch are in a place of absolute depletion of qi, any plan should be decided upon early; when the Azure Dragon is present in the monthly vital qi, although good fortune is present, it comes slowly, which refers to the case of the sixth month. The "Ke Jing" says that the god riding upon the Azure Dragon can nourish the day stem, and it is also the vital qi of the current month; although it is not yet evident, it will gradually bring good fortune in the future; this is like a gentleman who wishes to benefit others with his heart, without boasting, yet able to wait for the right time, and the more severe the cold, the more evident his perseverance. The "Zhaochan Mijue" says that when the initiating transmission falls into emptiness and the three transmissions return to the day stem and day branch, it indicates the revival of old matters and the re-establishment of long-abandoned endeavors. The "Sancai Fu" says that when the positions of Si and Hai are accompanied by the post-horse, a person must be traveling on the road. The "Yucheng Ge" says that when the parents' yao is on the day stem, it indicates concern for one's children.

課體：八專，斬關，勵德。課義：財神閉口，不得人手，四墓乘勾，昏迷難受。

The lesson pattern remains eight special cases, also including "cutting the gate" and "cultivating virtue." "Cutting the gate" refers to actively breaking through a closed pass, showing initiative and breaking through obstacles. "Cultivating virtue" means the nobleman is located at the卯 or酉 positions, benefiting the virtuous person who maintains morality and harming the petty person who acts recklessly. The lesson meaning states: the亥 water representing wealth is at the position of closing the mouth, so wealth is in sight but cannot be obtained; on top of four layers of辰 earth, the "Gou Chen" is present, with earth energy pressing down heavily, making people feel trapped in a state of confusion and discomfort.

解曰：亥乃日之財神，又是旬尾加首發用，是財神閉口也，坐於寅木之上，畏之而不敢取，豈能入手乎。四重辰墓，業已昏迷。又加以太常勾陳之土，積累於上，其昏迷之狀，必有汶汶沕沕而難受者矣。

The wealth god for the day Jiwei is亥 water, which also appears at the beginning of the current ten-day period as the first transmission, placed on top of the end of the period. This is called "the wealth god is closed off." The亥 water sits on top of寅 wood, which consumes and weakens亥 water by overcoming earth. The wealth god feels fear and is unwilling to act, so how can wealth come in? In the four lessons and three transmissions, there are four instances of辰 earth, all representing theTomb Spirit, which indicates a state of confusion and darkness. On top of that, the heavenly generals Tai Chang and Gou Chen, both belonging to earth, press down upon it, accumulating earth energy layer by layer. This state of confusion and darkness is certainly one of being dazed and confused, with a feeling of suffocation and blockage.

斷曰：支干之上，皆乘自刑，賓主不投，人已不浹。又干支乘墓，人昏它晦，凡占皆不亨快，如年命在丑，仗戌沖辰，破其網墓，乃為可救。若年命在辰，天羅自裹，事難擺脫矣。

The day stem and the day branch are both accompanied by Chen, leading to self-punishment, indicating that the parties involved do not get along well with each other, and there is a lack of harmony between people. Both the day stem and day branch are also accompanied by theTomb Spirit (mound spirit), meaning the person is confused and their environment is dark and obscure, making any inquiry unsatisfactory. If the person's birth year or current age falls on Chou, they can use the hidden Wu within Chou to冲开 (break open) the Chen墓 (mound), breaking through this heavy web, and the situation can still be salvaged. However, if the birth year or current age is exactly on Chen, it is as if the person has wrapped themselves in the heavenly net, making it difficult to escape.

天時：日上乘墓，太陽被掩，水又被墓，濃陰不雨。家宅：人昏宅暗，諸事欠利。功名：不吉。求財：暗取婦人之財，然恐生患。婚姻：兩愚相耦。胎產：女孕，產凶。疾病：遺漏瘋癱，咽喉腫痛之疾，十一月占凶。遺失：見者竟不肯言，晝占武空難緝，夜占可獲。出行：水陸兩途，皆不甚利。行人：天罡加干支，行者立至。兵戰：不宜妄動，守正則亨。墳葬：乾龍小可發財。

Questioning about the weather: The day stem is covered by the tomb god, the sun is obscured, and the water god is also buried. There are only thick clouds but no rain. Questioning about the household: people are confused, the house is dark, and nothing goes smoothly. Questioning about official rank: not auspicious. Questioning about seeking wealth: one may secretly take a woman's money, but fear that this will bring about trouble. Questioning about marriage: two foolish people are joined together. Questioning about childbirth: the fetus is female, and there is danger in giving birth. Questioning about illness: it relates to incontinence and paralysis, along with swollen throat, and it is ominous in the eleventh month. Questioning about lost items: those who see it will not speak, and if it is divined during the day, the black tortoise is empty and difficult to trace, but if it is divined at night, it can be found. Questioning about travel: neither water nor land routes are very smooth. Questioning about a traveler: the heavenly stem of Chen is added to the day stem and day branch, and the traveler will arrive immediately. Questioning about warfare: do not act rashly, and only by holding to the right path can success be achieved. Questioning about burial: the dragon comes from the northwest direction of乾, and it can bring some wealth.

畢法云：干支乘墓各昏迷，賓主不投刑在上，閉口卦體兩般推。纂要云：干支全被上神墓者，如人在雲霧中行，我孟昏昧人，卻被人先昏昧我也。太乙經云：占與人期會，天罡臨日辰者會，天罡大吉加午未者，喚人必來。玉華略云：水逢四季，為鰥者之刑。

The "Bifa Fu" says that when the day stem and day branch each take theTomb Spirit, both the person and I are trapped in confusion; the host and guest are not in harmony, and the root of the illness lies in the self-punishment of the upper god. As for the lesson pattern of closed mouth, it must be analyzed in two different situations. The "Zanyao" says that when the day stem and day branch are entirely buried by the upper gods, it is like a person walking through clouds and fog; I originally intended to deceive others, but instead I was deceived by them. The "Taiyi Jing" says that when predicting a meeting with someone, if the Tiangang (Chen) and the earthy branch of Chen are on the day stem and day branch, the meeting will be successful; if the Tiangang and the Daji (Chou) are on the branches of Wu and Wei, then inviting people will certainly result in their coming. The "Yuhua Lue" says that when the water element meets the earthy branches of Chen, Xu, Chou, and Wei, it indicates the punishment of a widower.
