The Golden Strategies, Volume 19: Family Residence

創基立業，雖本人之經緯；關風斂氣，每由宅以肇端。故要知人宅之興衰，當察卦爻之內外。內為宅，外為人，詳審爻中之真假；凡內卦：初爻為宅基，二爻為宅舍，三爻為門外。外卦：四爻為父母，五爻為兄弟，六爻為妻財。內卦宅生人吉，外卦宅克人凶。

Establishing a foundation requires personal effort and dedication, but controlling wind patterns and gathering earthly energy often begins with the residence. Therefore, to understand the prosperity or decline of a person and their home, one should examine the lines of both the inner and outer trigrams. The inner trigram represents the residence, while the outer trigram represents the family. It is important to carefully distinguish the truth and falsehood within the lines. The inner trigram is divided as follows: the first line represents the foundation, the second line represents the house structure, and the third line represents the area outside the door. The outer trigram is divided as follows: the fourth line represents the parents, the fifth line represents the siblings, and the sixth line represents the spouse. If the inner trigram supports the outer trigram, it is favorable; if the outer trigram is overcome by the inner trigram, it is unfavorable.

合為門，沖為路，不論卦內之有無。合為門，沖為路。卦爻內不必明見沖合。且如天風姤卦，二爻辛亥水為宅；寅與亥合，以寅為門；已亥相沖，以巳為路。卦內本無寅巳二爻，不明見。姤屬金，以寅木為財，巳火為鬼殺。如化財，此亦吉凶相半之兆。

The earthly branch that harmonizes with the dwelling line is considered the door, and the earthly branch that conflicts with the dwelling line is considered the road. It is not necessary to consider whether these two lines are clearly present in the hexagram. Here, the concept of harmony as door and conflict as road means that it is not required for the hexagram to explicitly show lines that are harmonious or conflicting. For example, in the hexagram Tian Feng Gou (Heaven Wind Gou), the second line, which is Xinhai water, is the dwelling line: 'Yin' harmonizes with 'Hai', so 'Yin' is taken as the door; 'Si' conflicts with 'Hai', so 'Si' is taken as the road. Even though the hexagram does not originally contain the lines 'Yin' and 'Si', they are still taken in this way. The hexagram Gou belongs to metal, taking 'Yin' wood as 'wealth' and 'Si' fire as 'official ghost' which is a harmful force. If wealth is transformed, it indicates a mixture of good and bad omens.

龍德貴人乘旺，嶽嶽之侯門；官星父母長生，潭潭之相府。青龍、印綬、官星、貴人、太歲、天德、月德、月建、日辰、歲德，臨宅爻、身命爻上，生旺有氣，主有官職之家。宜以分別高下，貴人：即天乙貴人；官星：即甲見辛類是也。

The Azure Dragon, Heavenly Virtue, and Nobleman are riding on strong energy, indicating a noble and lofty noble family; the official star and Parents' seal residing in the state of growth signify a deep and spacious official residence. All auspicious deities such as Azure Dragon, seal, official star, Nobleman, Sovereign, Heavenly Virtue, Monthly Virtue, Month Builder, Day Branch, and Annual Virtue, when appearing on the residence爻 or the person's life爻 and are strong and vital, indicate that the family holds an official position. The rank of the family should be judged according to the number and strength of these auspicious deities. Here, the term 'Nobleman' refers to Tianyi Nobleman; the 'official star' refers to the method of using the proper official for the day stem, such as the辛 for the 甲 day.

門庭新氣象，重交得合青龍；交重青龍，在日辰旬內，得長生帝旺，主鼎新創造。生旺在休囚之中，主修舊合新門之象。臨財，新修舊廚灶；臨父，新修舊堂；臨兄，新修門戶；臨子，新修房舍；臨官，新修廳堂屋宇。

The door and courtyard have been completely renovated because the moving line is joined by the "Azure Dragon." If the "Azure Dragon" is on the moving line and is within the ten-day cycle of the day branch, and is in the position of growth or prosperity, it indicates that the family is currently building a new house. If the "Azure Dragon" is in a position of growth or prosperity but is surrounded by weak and confined positions, it signifies repairing an old house and adding a new door. Now look at which of the six relations it is associated with: if it is associated with "Wealth," it indicates renovating the old kitchen; if associated with "Parents," it indicates renovating the old main hall; if associated with "Siblings," it indicates renovating the entrance; if associated with "Children," it indicates renovating the side rooms; if associated with "Official Ghost," it indicates renovating the hall or main building.

堂宇舊規模，宅舍重侵白虎。白虎交重，在日辰旬外，休囚絕無生旺，主遠年遷造，破舊不整。休囚在生旺之中，亦主拆舊換新。若臨兄，舊門戶；臨子，舊牆壁；臨官，皆除破損；臨父，舊堂宇；臨財，舊廚灶；或破古戶牖，低土地。化空，移高就低；水爻，池塘填也。

The main house is still of the old scale because there is another layer of "White Tiger" on top of the house. If "White Tiger" is on the moving line and falls outside the day branch's ten-year cycle, being weak and confined with no vitality, it indicates the house was built many years ago and is now in disrepair. If it is weak but situated between vitality and growth, then it suggests the need to renovate and replace. According to the six relations: if it is associated with "Siblings," it refers to the old gate; if with "Children," it refers to the old walls; if with "Official Ghost," it indicates damage throughout; if with "Parents," it refers to the old hall; if with "Wealth," it refers to the old kitchen or stove, or broken old doors and windows, or low foundation. If it changes into the void, it means moving the upper house to a lower place; if it is a water line, it means filling in a pond to build a roof.

土金發動，開闢之基；土化金，金化土，為開闢之基。土化土，為墳之基。土化空，移高就低。餘仿此。父母空房，租賃之宅。父母為文書，逢空為無氣。更逢應爻為得日辰動爻化文書，與宅相生相合，主是租賃之地。

The earth line and metal line moving indicate newly developed land; the 'parents' line falling into vacancy suggests a rented house. When the earth line changes into the metal line or the metal line changes into the earth line, it indicates that the land is newly developed. If the earth line changes into itself, it suggests the land was originally a graveyard converted into a base. If the earth line changes into vacancy, it means moving from a high place to a low place, and so on. Regarding the 'parents,' it represents the deed or document. If it falls into vacancy, it indicates lack of vitality. If the 'parents' line coincides with the response line, or if the day branch or moving line produces a document line, and this document line harmonizes and generates with the dwelling line, then it indicates that the house is rented.

門庭熱鬧，財官臨帝旺之鄉；財鬼龍德貴人乘旺，長生之位，臨宅生命、世爻，主家門熱鬧。家道興隆，福祿在長生之地。福即福德，祿即祿元。同龍貴在生旺之位，臨宅人生身命世爻，主家宅興隆。財鬼龍旺，臨宅身命世爻，主一家熱鬧。交重發旺亦美。

The family is lively because "wife wealth" and "official ghost" are in the Prosperity position; the family's fortune is flourishing because the gods of fortune and the origin of official salary are in the Growth position. When "wife wealth," "official ghost," "Azure Dragon," "Heavenly Virtue," and "Nobleman" are all strong and in the Growth position, and they are on the dwelling爻 to generate the personal life爻 and the world line爻, then the family will be lively.所谓 "福" is "Fortune Virtue," which is "children";所谓 "禄" is the origin of official salary, which is the god of the official salary of the personal destiny. When they are together with "Azure Dragon" and "Nobleman" in the prosperous and strong position, and they are on the dwelling爻 to generate the personal life爻 and the world line爻, then the family residence will flourish. When "wife wealth," "official ghost," and "Azure Dragon" are all strong and on the dwelling爻, personal life爻, and world line爻, it indicates the whole family is lively; when these lines overlap and are strong, it is also a good thing.

交重生克，重新更換廳堂；生為父，父為堂；克為官，官為廳。且如乾金：土為父，為堂；火鬼為廳。帶日辰交重，主更改再換。世應比和，一合兩般門扇。比和：乃兄弟。世應化兄弟，俱臨宅爻，或世應為兄弟爻，俱合宅爻，主一合兩般門扇。

When a moving line is activated, if it is either generating or overcoming another, it indicates that the hall needs to be renovated. If the World and Response lines are harmonious in the Five Phases, it suggests that a single door frame has two different door panels. Here, "generation" refers to the line that generates me, which is the "Parents" line, representing the hall. "Overcoming" refers to the line that overcomes me, which is the "Official Ghost" line, representing the hall affairs. For example, in the Qian hexagram which belongs to metal: earth generates metal, so earth is the "Parents" line, representing the hall; fire overcomes metal, so fire ghost represents the hall affairs. If these two lines are activated together with the Day Branch, it mainly indicates renovation and replacement. As for "harmony," it refers to the "Siblings" line: if the World and Response lines change into the "Siblings" line and both are on the house line, or if the World and Response lines themselves are the "Siblings" line and both harmonize with the house line, then it indicates that a single door frame has two different door panels.

門路與日辰隔斷，偏曲往來；宅基與世應交臨，互相換易。且如巽卦：辛亥水為宅，以寅合為門，以巳沖為路。日辰與動爻臨卯辰二位，隔斷寅巳二位，主偏門戶，曲折還魂路也。若臨宅臨用破，即當破家。宅臨之爻在世，世臨之爻在日，宅並日辰動爻，主換易宗族之家基地。應臨之爻在宅，宅臨之爻在應，並日辰動爻，易換外人基地。

The branches of the gate and the road are cut off by the day branch, so one has to take a detour and walk in a crooked way; the hexagram representing the land and the world line and the response line are adjacent, so the land will be exchanged with others. For example, in the hexagram Xun, the water hexagram Xinhai represents the land; the branch 'Yin' which corresponds to 'Hai' is taken as the gate, and the branch 'Si' which opposes 'Hai' is taken as the road. If the day branch and the moving line fall exactly on 'Mao' and 'Chen', cutting off 'Yin' and 'Si', then the gate will be on a wrong side and the road will be winding and circling back. If these lines also affect the land hexagram or the useful lines and are broken, it will lead to family ruin. If the branch of the land hexagram is exactly on the world line, and the branch of the world line is exactly on the day branch, and the land hexagram joins with the day branch and the moving line, then it mainly indicates exchange of land with relatives. If the branch of the response line is on the land hexagram, and the branch of the land hexagram is on the response line, and they join with the day branch and the moving line, then it indicates exchange of land with outsiders.

世與日辰克宅，破祖不寧；世爻與日辰同去克宅爻，主破祖不寧。宅臨月破克身，生災不已。月建相沖為月破，若動克世爻，及繫占人身命爻，主生災未已。應飛入宅，合招異姓同居；應爻外飛入宅爻，主有異姓人同居合住。宅動生身，決主近年遷住。宅爻動，日辰之位在旬中主世身，必主近年遷住。

The World Line and the Day Branch both go to attack the House Line, indicating the destruction of ancestral property and instability in the family home. If the House Line encounters the Month Breaker and also attacks the Hexagram Body, it signifies continuous misfortunes. If the Response Line comes from the Outer Trigram to the House Line, it suggests the arrival of a person from another family to live together. If the House Line becomes active and supports the Hexagram Body, it indicates that a move will happen in the near future. Specifically, when the World Line and the Day Branch both attack the House Line, it means the ancestral property is ruined and the family home is unstable. A爻 that is attacked by the Month Builder is called the Month Breaker. If the House Line meets the Month Breaker and becomes active to attack the World Line, or attacks the person's Life Line, it indicates that misfortunes will continue to arise. If the Response Line comes from the Outer Trigram to the House Line, it suggests that someone from another family will be living together. If the House Line becomes active and the Day Branch position is in the same ten-day period that governs the World Line and Hexagram Body, it definitely means a move will happen in the near future.

門逢三破，朽敗崩頹；三破：為年月日沖破也。並動爻臨宅，或克宅，主破舊崩頹。臨官，主廳破；臨父，主堂屋破，或蓋覆傾頹；臨兄，主門戶破，牆壁毀；臨子財，主房舍廂廊煙廚破壞也。宅遇兩空，荒閒虛廢。卦體宅爻，在日辰旬之空，更在命旬之空亡。主荒閒虛廢，或是逃亡死絕之屋。白虎刑刃，劫殺耗神，喪門弔客大殺，主大凶。

When the gate line meets three conflicting lines, the house becomes rotten and collapses; when the house line meets two empty lines, the house becomes abandoned and unused. The term 'three breaks' refers to the conflict between the year stem, the month builder, and the day branch. If these three together with the moving line are on the house line, or if they attack the house line, the house will be in disrepair and collapse. According to the six relations: if the house line is associated with 'official ghost', the hall will be damaged; if associated with 'parents', the main hall or roof will collapse; if associated with 'siblings', the gate and walls will be damaged; if associated with 'children' or 'wealth', the side rooms, corridors, and kitchen will be damaged. The term 'two empties' refers to the house line falling into the empty line of the day branch's ten heavenly stems and also the empty line of the person's own ten heavenly stems. This indicates the house is abandoned or belongs to a family that has fled or died out. If further combined with great凶 factors such as 'white tiger', crime, sheep knife, robbery, loss of spirit, and funeral and guest stars, it indicates a major disaster.

世臨外宅，離祖分居；宅爻與正卦世臨之爻相同，或與變卦世臨之爻相同。如明夷卦：二爻己丑為宅，世臨四爻發，為世臨外宅。又如離變姤卦：己丑為宅，變卦世在辛丑，亦為世臨外宅。以上二卦為例，餘仿此。動則離祖分居，不動則主偏宅。

The world line is located on an external dwelling position, indicating the person will leave the ancestral home to live separately. This refers to the situation where the branch of the dwelling line matches the line of the world line in the primary hexagram, or matches the line of the world line in the resulting hexagram. For example, in the hexagram Mingyi (Bright Abode), the second line Jichou is the dwelling line, and the world line is on the fourth line, which is active. This is called "the world line is on an external dwelling." Another example is when the hexagram Li (Fire) changes to Guo (Meeting), where the dwelling line is Jichou, and the world line of the resulting hexagram is on Xinchou. This is also called "the world line is on an external dwelling." These two hexagrams are examples, and others follow the same pattern. If such a line is active, it indicates leaving the ancestral home to live separately; if not active, it only indicates having another secondary dwelling.

應入中庭，外人同住。應爻為宅爻，或宅爻為應臨之爻相同。且如巽卦變離卦：內卦辛亥水為宅，變卦應居己亥水，故為應入中庭。應臨宅爻，為應爻相同。如剝卦內坤，應臨二爻乙巳火。又如巽卦變離：辛亥臨宅，之卦內離己亥臨應，為應入中庭，主外人同居，日辰同臨，為寄居也。

The responding line comes into the central courtyard, indicating that someone else is living together. This means that the responding line itself is the dwelling line, or that the earthly branch of the dwelling line matches the line that the responding line is on. For example, in the case of the hexagram "Xun" changing to "Li," the inner trigram of the original hexagram is the water trigram with the earthly branch Xinhai, which is the dwelling line. The responding line of the resulting hexagram falls exactly on the water trigram with the earthly branch Jihai, which is "responding line entering the central courtyard." When the responding line is on the dwelling line, it means that the responding line and the dwelling line are the same line. For instance, in the hexagram "Bo," the inner trigram is "Kun," and the responding line is exactly on the second line, which is the fire trigram with the earthly branch Yisi. Another example is the case of "Xun" changing to "Li," where the trigram with the earthly branch Xinhai is on the dwelling position, and the trigram with the earthly branch Jihai in the resulting hexagram is on the responding position, which is also "responding line entering the central courtyard," indicating that someone else is living together. If the day branch also falls on this position, it means that the outsider is staying temporarily.

宅合有情之玄武，門庭柳陌花街；木臨無氣之螣蛇，宅舍茅簷蓬戶。宅爻鴛鴦，合玄武門庭桃花動爻，主女人淫慾，如花街柳陌人也。寅午戌，兔從卯裡出之類是。螣蛇木爻，死氣臨宅，主甕牖繩樞之地。

The dwelling's line indicates a place of pleasure and vice when it harmonizes with the 'Black Tortoise' which signifies affection. If the line of the dwelling is connected with the 'Green Snake' that lacks vitality, it indicates a poor and humble dwelling with thatched roof and flimsy doors. If the dwelling line forms a harmonious couple and also combines with a 'Black Tortoise' associated with the 'Flower' line, it suggests that the women in the family are indulgent and unrestrained, like those in a pleasure district. The term 'Flower' is derived from a mnemonic that refers to years, months, and days of 'Yin-Wu-Xu' and the emergence of the rabbit from the 'Mao' position. If the 'Green Snake' is present on the wood line and the 'Death Qi' is on the dwelling line, it indicates a poor home with broken pots as windows and ropes for doors.

鬼有助而無制，鬼旺人衰；且如木命人占乾兌卦，以火為官。木能生火，為鬼有助。若卦體無水生命，為鬼無制，主人衰弱。卦無子孫，財爻兩動，亦為鬼有助，而無制也。若金命人，助離宮水鬼；水命人，助坤宮木鬼；火命人，助坎宮土鬼類。宅無破而逢生，宅興財旺。歲月日三破，不臨宅爻；更逢三件動爻生宅爻，與財爻旺相有氣，為宅興財旺。

The "Official Ghost" is supported by someone but not restrained by anyone, so the ghost becomes strong while the person weakens; if the dwelling line is undamaged and receives support, then the dwelling flourishes and wealth increases. For example, a person with a wood destiny who draws the Qian hexagram or the Dui hexagram, which belong to metal, takes fire as the "Official Ghost"; since wood can generate fire, this means the ghost is supported. At this time, if the hexagram lacks water to nourish the destiny, then the ghost is not restrained, indicating a decline in the person's vitality. If the hexagram lacks "Children" and the wealth line is activated by two lines, it is also a case of the ghost being supported but not restrained. Similarly, a person with a metal destiny helping the water ghost in the Li palace, a person with a water destiny helping the wood ghost in the Kun palace, and a person with a fire destiny helping the earth ghost in the Kan palace, all follow the same principle. Conversely, if the heavenly stem, month builder, and day branch all fail to conflict with the dwelling line, and instead the lines generated by these three elements support the dwelling line, and the wealth line is strong and vital, then the dwelling flourishes and wealth increases.

有財無鬼，耗散多端；有財則生鬼，無鬼不聚財。若無鬼爻，為宅無氣，必主家中財物耗散。有鬼無財，災生不已。鬼不宜動，財不可無。若鬼動，無財爻，更克世身，克宅爻，主連生災咎。

If there is "Wealth" but no "Official Ghost," wealth will scatter and be lost; if there is "Official Ghost" but no "Wealth," misfortunes will follow one after another. This is because wealth can generate official ghosts, and without official ghosts, wealth cannot be retained. If the hexagram lacks the official ghost line, the dwelling will lack vitality and inevitably lead to the loss of wealth. Conversely, the official ghost line should not be active, but the wealth line is essential. If the official ghost line becomes active and the hexagram lacks the wealth line, it will attack the world line, the hexagram body, and the dwelling line, resulting in a continuous series of misfortunes.

有人制鬼，鬼動無妨；且如木命人，占得坎卦，以土為鬼。木命人克土鬼殺。如或化木鬼，雖重而無害。金命人則制坤艮宮木鬼。但以本命克鬼為制，乃無害也。助鬼傷身，財多何益。以金命人，占得乾卦。以火為鬼，以木為財。木能生火，火能克金，有財為助鬼傷身，縱然財多何益。況鬼動財興，金在何益。

Someone who can control the "Official Ghost" can even if the ghost爻 moves, it is not a problem; the wealth爻 instead helps the ghost to harm the body, so even with much wealth, it brings no benefit. For example, a person with a wood destiny who draws the Kan hexagram, which belongs to water, takes earth as the "Official Ghost"; since wood can overcome earth, it is exactly the wood destiny person who can control this earth ghost, theInauspicious Sha. Even if it transforms into a wood ghost, the ghost being repeated does not cause harm. Similarly, a person with a metal destiny can control the wood ghosts in the坤 and艮 trigrams. In summary, as long as the person's destiny can overcome the ghost, even if there is a control, it is not harmful. Conversely, a person with a metal destiny who draws the Qian hexagram, takes fire as the "Official Ghost" and wood as the "Wealth"; since wood can generate fire, and fire then overcomes metal, this wealth爻 is actually helping the ghost to harm the body. Even with much wealth, what benefit is there? Moreover, when the ghost moves and the wealth becomes prosperous, what benefit remains for the person with a metal destiny?

忌鬼爻交重臨白虎，須防人眷刑傷；忌鬼爻變，乃克身之鬼。並白虎交重發動，值喪門弔客，主人眷災殃。催尸殺身命入黃泉，大忌墓門開合。鬼動克身命，為催尸殺。動逢死氣，為黃泉路。鬼克身命逢死氣，忌身命爻沖開墓門。一沖一合，日辰動爻合墓，為墓門開合。凡卦中必見墓爻，若暗墓一沖一合，便是。如甲子生人，甲子日卜是也。

The most dangerous situation is when ghost lines overlap and become active, and they are also accompanied by the White Tiger. This indicates that family members may suffer injuries. The "Cui Shi Sha" (Cemetery Killer) sends the body and life lines into the underworld, especially when the cemetery gate opens and closes. The term "忌鬼变爻" refers to the ghost line that harms the hexagram body. If this ghost line overlaps with the White Tiger and occurs together with the funeral door and the guest star, it indicates misfortune for family members. When a ghost line becomes active and harms the body or life line, it is called "Cui Shi Sha." If this ghost line becomes active and meets the death qi, it signifies the path to the underworld. When the ghost line harms the body or life line and meets the death qi, it is especially dangerous if the body or life line conflicts with the cemetery gate. The term "mù mén kāi hé" refers to a situation where one side is in conflict and the other is in harmony. Either the day branch or the moving line combines with the cemetery line, while another line conflicts with it. In any hexagram, there is always a cemetery line, even if it is not clearly visible as an implicit cemetery. As long as there is a conflict and a combination, it counts. For example, if a person was born in the year Jiazi and divines on a Jiazi day, this situation occurs.

木金年命，最嫌乾兌卦之火爻；木金年命人，占得乾兌卦，以火為鬼爻。木生火爻，為鬼能助火克金，為殺傷身。但本命生鬼為助，本命受鬼克為傷身。金年木命皆然。木命人忌震巽宮鬼，水命忌坎宮鬼是也。水火命人，不怕震巽宮之金鬼。水火命人，占得震巽卦，以金為鬼。金能生水，火能克金。故水火命人，不怕二宮之鬼也。

People with a wood destiny and those with a metal destiny most fear the fire elements in the Qian and Dui trigrams. People with a water destiny and those with a fire destiny, however, are not afraid of the gold elements in the Zhen and Xun trigrams. When people with a wood or metal destiny draw the Qian or Dui trigrams, which belong to metal, the fire element is considered a ghost. Wood nourishes fire, which helps the ghost, and fire then harms metal, which injures the self. In general, when the destiny is born from the ghost, it is called 'helping the ghost,' and when the destiny is harmed by the ghost, it is called 'injuring oneself.' This applies to people born in the metal year and those with a wood destiny. Similarly, people with a wood destiny fear the ghosts in the Zhen and Xun trigrams, and people with a water destiny fear the ghosts in the Kan trigram. Conversely, when people with a water or fire destiny draw the Zhen or Xun trigrams, which belong to wood, the gold element is considered a ghost. Gold nourishes water, which benefits the water destiny, and fire overcomes gold, which the fire destiny can control. Therefore, people with water and fire destinies are not afraid of the ghosts in these two trigrams.

官星佩印居玉堂，乃食祿之人；玉堂乃天乙貴人，官星乃甲用辛為官，印乃三傳之印綬。應爻之數，若有官，有貴人，有祿有印綬，並太歲生身命，登金門而步玉堂之人。身命受制，主先寵後辱。親月建，外郡官；親日辰，縣宰官。有印無祿，有官無俸，有官無印，有祿無任人，日辰並子孫動。主官有剝削之失。日辰並財爻動，主遷擢升職之變也。

The official star is accompanied by the seal and resides in the Jade Hall, indicating someone who receives a salary. Here, the term "Jade Hall" refers to the nobleman, the "official star" refers to the proper official for a day stem like Jia, which is paired with Xin. The "seal" refers to the seal in the three transmissions. The number of divine omens on the response line: if there is both the official star and the nobleman, along with the salary and the seal, and the sovereign year is born to support the day stem line, then one is destined to enter the Golden Horse Gate and step into the Jade Hall office; if the day stem line is instead restrained, it indicates first receiving favor and then suffering disgrace. If the official star is close to the month builder, it refers to an official in an outer prefecture; if close to the day stem branch, it refers to a county magistrate. If there is a seal but no salary, it indicates holding an official position without a salary; if there is an official but no seal, it indicates having an official title without actual appointment. If the day stem branch rises together with the children and is activated, it indicates the loss of an official position; if the day stem branch rises together with the wealth and is activated, it indicates a change of position and promotion.

貴刃加刑控寶馬，必提兵之將。貴：貴人。刃：羊刃、飛刃。刑：三刑。貴人同得吉星相輔，刃加三刑臨貴人之位，受太歲之生，旁爻有馬，乃提兵將帥也。財化福爻，入公門多致淹留；日辰三合得財爻而無上選，子孫為元祿。蓋財生鬼，財為正選，無財則無正選。子孫制鬼，若財化子，不利仕官公門之人。

The presence of the Nobleman, the Sheep Blade, and the Three Punishments together with the Post Horse hexagram indicates a military commander. Here, "guì" refers to the Nobleman, "rèn" refers to the Sheep Blade and Flying Blade, and "xíng" refers to the Three Punishments. When the Nobleman is supported by other auspicious stars, the Sheep Blade and Three Punishments are combined on the Nobleman's position, and the Master of the Year supports it, with the Post Horse hexagram on the adjacent position, it signifies a military commander. As for the "wife wealth" changing into "fortune virtue," it suggests that handling official affairs in the government office will likely involve delays. The Day Branch forms a Triple Harmony with the wealth hexagram, but fails to secure a good position because "children" is the god of original official rank. Wealth can generate the Official Ghost, so having wealth leads to formal selection, but without wealth there is no official appointment. However, "children" specifically restrains the Official Ghost, so when the wealth hexagram transforms into "children," it is unfavorable for those seeking official positions or working in government offices.

貴印加官，在仕途必然遷轉。官帶印，貴人臨世，並日辰旬中發動，在仕途，必然遷轉之喜兆也。子承父業，子有跨灶之風；子命爻臨五爻之位，臨父母之身，相生相合，主有跨灶之風。相剋相刑，主有悖逆不孝，或不肖。不能克紹箕裘之業。父母之命爻臨子孫爻之身，主子承父蔭。生合刑剋，依此斷之，萬無一失。

The Nobleman and the Seal are both applied to the Officialdom line. If the person being questioned is in government service, there will certainly be good news of promotion or transfer.the so-called "official with seal" means the official line carries the seal, and the Nobleman is on the World Line, and both are of the same ten years as the Day Branch and thus activate. For someone already in government service, this is a favorable omen of promotion or transfer. The phrase "son inherits his father's profession" refers to the son having greater ability than his father: the line representing the son is on the fifth line, and is in the position of the father's line, with both lines generating and harmonizing with each other, indicating that the son has the spirit of surpassing his father, with abilities exceeding his father. If the two lines mutually control or are harmed by each other, it indicates the son is rebellious and unfilial, or is entirely incapable, and cannot inherit the family business passed down by his ancestors. Conversely, if the father's line is on the son's line, it indicates the son inherits his father's blessings. Whenever there is birth, harmony, harm, or control, use this method to deduce, and it will never fail.

妻奪夫權，妻有能家之兆。妻命臨夫身五爻之上，與夫相生相合，得內助能家之兆。若妻剋夫爻，主妻凌夫，或破夫家也。弟紾乃兄之臂，身命相傷；弟身爻起臨兄之命爻，或兄身爻起臨弟之命爻，若相刑相剋，主不友不恭；若相生相合，主兄弟怡怡如也。

The wife taking control of her husband's authority is a sign that the wife is capable of managing the household. When the wife's line is located on the fifth line of the husband's line and mutually generates and harmonizes with the husband's line, it indicates the presence of a virtuous wife who can bring prosperity to the family. However, if the wife's line instead overcomes the husband's line, it signifies that the wife is oppressive towards her husband, potentially leading to the decline of the family. The phrase "the younger brother twists the arm of the elder brother" refers to the mutual harm between siblings. If the younger brother's line is on the elder brother's line or vice versa, and they mutually harm or overcome each other, it indicates that the elder brother is not friendly and the younger brother is not respectful. If they mutually generate and harmonize, it indicates harmony and unity between the brothers.

婦僭姑嫜之爻，家聲可見。二為媳婦之命爻。臨姑之身爻，相刑相沖，主凌尊上，悖逆不孝；相生相合，主順婦道也。妻犯夫家之殺，妻破夫家；夫家破耗二殺所臨之位，妻身命爻犯之，剋夫身命爻，主破夫家也。

The wife's line has transgressed the position of her mother-in-law's line, and the family's conduct can be seen from this. The second line represents the wife's life line. If it is on the mother-in-law's line and causes conflict or clash, it indicates the wife is disrespectful and rebellious towards her elders; if it generates or harmonizes with the mother-in-law's line, it suggests she follows the proper role of a wife. "The wife commits the killing of the husband's family" means the wife offends the husband's family's凶煞 (evil spirits). If the wife's life line or fate line directly confronts the positions of the twoInauspicious Sha (destructive and wasteful spirits) in the husband's family, and then goes on to attack the husband's life or fate line, it indicates that she will ruin the husband's family.

夫臨妻祿之爻，夫食妻祿。祿乃甲祿在寅，食乃甲食丙之類。如甲子生，妻祿在寅，夫身命爻臨之，遇食神，乃食祿順。食不逢空鬼破耗等殺，更值生旺有氣者，主夫食妻祿。若逢梟神羊刃，空鬼耗破殺，雖食妻祿，亦無用矣。

The husband's爻 is located on the wife's "Lù" (favorable position for wealth)爻, indicating that the husband relies on the wife's wealth and status. Here, "Lù" refers to the dry branch禄 of the heavenly stem, such as the Lù of Jia (甲) being in寅. "Shí" (food) refers to the food god, such as the food god of Jia being丙. For example, if someone is born in the year of Jiazi (甲子), the wife's Lù is in寅, and the husband's body and life爻 are exactly on this position, and also meet the food god, this is called "Shí and Lù in harmony." If the food god does not encounter凶煞 such as "Xiaoshen" (scavenger god), "Yangren" (shearing knife), destruction, or loss, and is in a prosperous and vital state, it indicates that the husband benefits from the wife's wealth and status. However, if the food god meets "Xiaoshen" or "Yangren," or falls into empty position, is attacked by ghosts, or meets loss and destruction, then even though the husband nominally uses the wife's wealth, it is actually of no use.

交重兄弟克妻身，再理絲絃；妻身爻起臨兄弟之爻，發動傷身命，或夫臨兄弟爻，克妻之身命，主琴絃再續也。內外子孫生世位，多招財物。內外子孫發動，並日辰生身世之財爻，無空破沖剋，多招財物。有氣必有不期而會也。

The two types of moving lines, "Jiao" and "Chong," involve siblings in the moving lines that go on to control the wife's personal line, indicating that the husband will need to remarry. If the wife's personal line is located on the siblings line, and the siblings line moves, it will harm her personal line; or if the husband's line is on the siblings line and controls the wife's personal line, this indicates that the original marriage is unstable and a new marriage is necessary. "Inner and outer descendants supporting the world line" refers to the descendants lines of both the inner and outer trigrams coming to support the world line, indicating the acquisition of much wealth. When both inner and outer descendants move and together with the day branch support the wealth line beneath the world line, and there is no absence, damage, or conflict, it indicates a substantial increase in wealth. As long as the wealth line has vitality, there is often unexpected windfall income.

世為日辰飛入宅，鵲據鳩巢；如大畜之泰卦，內卦甲寅木爻為宅，外卦丙寅爻持世發動，或並日辰與鬼飛入宅爻，主他人之屋，不是祖居。自創之屋，或租賃之宅。假如大過卦，內巽辛亥為宅，外兌丁亥持世發動，是也。

The world line and the day branch both fly into the residence line, forming the image of "magpie occupying the crow's nest," indicating that the residence is not one's own original home. For example, if the hexagram Da Xu changes to Tai, the inner trigram's Jiayin wood line is the residence line, while the outer trigram's Bingyin line holds the world line and becomes active; or if the world line, day branch, and official ghost all fly into the residence line, it indicates that the person is living in someone else's house, not an ancestral home. If it is not newly purchased, it must be rented. Another example is the hexagram Da Guo, where the inner trigram Xun's Xinhai line is the residence line, and the outer trigram Dui's Dinghai line holds the world line and becomes active, which is exactly the same situation.

應臨父母動生身，龍生蛇腹。應臨父母，居偏下之爻，占者身爻臨之，得本爻生之，或即動生子身命，主偏生庶出，或隔胎之子，前後父母生也。身命俱臨父母，重拜雙親。世應隔異，兄弟多因兩姓。如晉卦己酉金是世。假如乙未應隔申字之遁卦，壬申金應真兄弟。假如晉卦之遁卦，外離為假子，何也？離己酉金，假弟遁卦，外有乾卦壬甲金持世，是真兄弟。假又如姤之明夷卦，壬申金是真兄弟，明夷外卦有癸亥水，是假，不合中旬，酉字亦為隔異之間，並日辰應有親兄弟，或日月建動爻隔斷，亦依此斷。姤卦應隔兄弟，明夷卦應隔兄弟是。餘皆仿此。

The response line is on the parents line and moves to generate the line that supports the person's life line, which is called the "dragon giving birth to a snake in the abdomen" image. When the response line is on the parents line and is located in a lower position, the person's life line is exactly on this line. If this line moves and generates the person's life line, it indicates that the person is a son or daughter from a secondary wife or a child born in a different pregnancy, raised by two parents. If both the person's life line and fate line are on the parents line, it mainly indicates having two sets of parents. "World and response lines being separated" refers to the world line and response line being separated by other lines. Brothers often come from different families. For example, in the卦 of晋 (Progress), the world line isJiyou metal; in the卦 of遁 (Retreat), the response line isYiwei, separated by the character 申, and theRenshen metal response line is the real brother. In the case of晋 changing to遁, the outer trigram is离 (Fire), which is considered a false son, because the离 palace isJiyou metal, which is considered a false brother, while the outer trigram of遁 has乾 (Heaven) with壬甲 metal holding the world line, which is the real brother. Similarly, in the卦 of姤 (Meeting) changing to明夷 (Darkness), theRenshen metal is the real brother, while theGuihai water in the outer trigram of明夷 is considered false, because it does not match the middle part of the month and the character 酉 is also in the separated position. If the response line is the same as the day branch, there should be a close brother; if it is separated by the month builder, day builder, or moving line, it is also judged in the same way. In the卦 of姤, the response line separates the brothers, and in the卦 of明夷, the response line also separates the brothers, and other cases are judged in the same manner.

應爻就妻相合，外人入舍為夫；應爻飛入宅，與妻身命相生相合，主招外人入舍為夫。假宮有子飛來，異姓過房作嗣。假如子孫帶占身命，或日辰是假宮飛來，伏在身命爻下，主為人異姓過房之子；帶日辰旬真宮飛來，主過人家之子；飛動應爻，過房與人也。

The responding line is in harmony with the wife's line, mainly indicating that an outsider will marry into the family as a husband. If the responding line flies into the line of moving in, and harmonizes and generates with the wife's body line and life line, it indicates that the family will welcome an outsider as a husband. "False palace with a son flying in" refers to a son line coming from another palace, indicating that a son from another family will be adopted as a successor. For example, if the son line carries the body or life line of the person being divined, or if the line corresponding to the day branch comes from the false palace (another palace) and is hidden beneath the body or life line, it indicates that this person is adopted into another family as a son. If it carries the day branch's decade and comes from the true palace (its own palace), it indicates that the son is adopted from another family. If it moves to the responding line, then it means that the family's own child is being adopted into another family.

妻帶子臨夫位，引子嫁人；妻命帶子孫，動臨夫位，並日辰，主妻引子嫁人是也。夫身起合妻爻，將身就婦。夫身爻起臨妻命爻，或夫命爻動臨妻身爻動，並日辰，為之將身嫁婦也。本命就中空子，見子應遲；子孫同我生之爻，在日辰命旬之空，主見子遲。若胎絕，主孤害刑剋也。

The wife's hexagram carries the子孙 hexagram to the husband's position, indicating a woman bringing her children from a previous marriage to remarry. When the wife's life hexagram carries the子孙 hexagram, and it moves to the husband's position, and also coincides with the day branch, it signifies a woman bringing her children to remarry. The opposite situation, "the husband's body hexagram combines with the wife's life hexagram," indicates a man marrying into a woman's family. If the husband's life hexagram is in the position of the wife's life hexagram, or if the husband's life hexagram moves to the position of the wife's active hexagram, and also coincides with the day branch, this is called a man marrying into a woman's family. "The original life hexagram is in the empty position of the子孙" means that theChildren hexagram falls in the empty position of the ten-year cycle of the original life hexagram, indicating a delay in having children. TheChildren hexagram is the hexagram representing one's own children. If it falls in the empty position of the day branch and the original life hexagram's ten-year cycle, it indicates a delay in having children. If it also meets the positions of the fetal and the terminal stages, it indicates being childless, suffering from harsh influences, and difficulty in keeping children.

身爻合處逢妻，娶婚必早。夫身爻起處合妻之命爻，見妻必早。妻身爻起合夫之命爻，婦嫁必早。夫婦合爻見鬼，婚配不明；夫合之爻，妻合之爻，見鬼，主婚姻不明。但有合爻見鬼是也。子孫絕處刑傷，兒多不育。子孫逢死絕爻，更受傷刑剋害，主子多不育難招。

The position of the husband's body爻 (representing himself) combines with the wife's spouse爻 (representing her spouse), indicating an early marriage. If the husband's body爻 combines with the wife's life爻 (representing her destiny), it suggests he will marry early. Similarly, if the wife's body爻 combines with the husband's life爻, it suggests she will marry early. When the 'couple's combining爻' (the combining positions of husband and wife) are surrounded by official ghost爻 (representing authority or obstacles), it indicates an unclear or improper marriage. If the husband's combining爻 and the wife's combining爻 both have official ghost爻 above them, it suggests the marriage is not legitimate or has hidden issues. When the 'offspring爻' (representing children) is in a dead or declining position and suffers from punishment or harm, it indicates that the children may not survive. If the offspring爻 is in a dead or declining position and is further harmed by punishment, conflict, or damage, it suggests that the couple may have difficulty raising children, and many children may not live to adulthood.

夫妻反目，互見刑沖；兄弟無情，互相凌制。夫身爻並日辰動刑妻命，主夫不和妻；妻身爻並日辰動刑夫命，主妻不和夫。或妻命沖夫身，夫命沖妻身，主夫妻反目。如風天小畜九三爻是也。兄帶日辰克弟身命爻，弟帶日辰克兄身命爻，主兄弟不和，互相凌虐。

Spouses turning against each other become enemies because the lines of both parties mutually meet punishment and clash. Siblings have no affection because they mutually suppress each other. If the husband's line coincides with the day branch and activates to punish the wife's destiny line, it indicates discord between husband and wife. If the wife's line coincides with the day branch and activates to punish the husband's destiny line, it indicates discord between wife and husband. Or if the wife's destiny line clashes with the husband's line, or the husband's destiny line clashes with the wife's line, it also indicates spouses turning against each other, like the third line of the Xiao Xu hexagram. As for the elder brother's line carrying the day branch to punish the younger brother's destiny line, and the younger brother's line carrying the day branch to punish the elder brother's destiny line, it indicates siblings losing harmony and mutual oppression.

日將與世身相生，當主雙胎；身命與世應同爻，多應兩姓。身世起合與日辰動爻同位，兩生命者，主雙胎，同年之子，或雙頂是也。身臨世命臨應，或命臨世身臨應是。身命兩臨世應，主有兩姓。

The Day Branch and the Month General are in a generating relationship with the World Line and the Self Line, indicating the birth of twins. If the Self Line and the Life Line are in the same position as the World Line and the Response Line, it suggests that the person is connected to two different surnames. When the Self Line and the World Line are in a harmonious relationship and also share the same position as the Day Branch and the Moving Line, it shows the image of two lives, indicating twins, that is, two children born in the same year, or so-called "double heads." The term "Self and Life Lines in the same position as the World and Response Lines" refers to the Self Line being in the position of the World Line while the Life Line is in the position of the Response Line, or the Life Line being in the position of the World Line while the Self Line is in the position of the Response Line. When the Self and Life Lines are each in the positions of the World and Response Lines, it indicates that they belong to two different surnames.

妻財發動，不堪父值喪門；父母交重，最忌子臨死絕。上有父母，不堪財爻發動，更兼父母值喪門弔客爻，主有克害之患。妻克世身重合應，妻必重婚；妻爻動剋夫命，主剋夫。並日辰又與應相合，主妻再嫁。若帶咸池與應爻相合，並日辰動爻，帶亡劫刑刃等殺，剋夫身命爻，主妻與外人謀殺夫主。臨交爻，主未來之事。

When the wealth line moves, it is most feared if the parents line also meets the "Funeral Gate" (Sangmen). If the parents line moves again, it is most undesirable if the children line is in a dead or doomed position. When there are still parents alive at home, it is not suitable for the wealth line to move, because wealth can overcome the parents. If the parents line also meets the "Funeral Gate" and "Guest Star" (Diaoke), it indicates harm to the parents. "Wealth overcomes the world line and combines with the response line" means that the wealth line overcomes the husband's line and combines with the response line, indicating that the wife must remarry. When the wealth line moves and overcomes the husband's line, it already indicates harm to the husband. If it also combines with the day branch and the response line, it indicates that she will remarry someone else. If the wealth line combines with "Salty Pool" (Xianchi) and the response line, and also combines with the day branch and the moving line, and carriesInauspicious Sha such as lost spirit, Robbery Sha, Three Punishments, and Sheep Blade, to overcome the husband's line, it indicates that the wife conspires with outsiders to harm her husband. This pattern, if it appears on the "Meeting" line, indicates something that has not yet happened but will occur later.

夫刑妻命兩逢財，夫當再娶。妻身命臨夫家刑殺之爻，更逢克處兩財，主夫克兩妻。並日辰合傍爻之財，主再娶。夫並日辰動爻，帶劫刃刑等殺，傷妻命爻，主遭夫毒手也。妻與應爻相合，外有私通；妻身命爻與應相合咸池玄武桃花，主妻有外情。夫並日辰克妻，與應爻，主獲妻奸。夫並世應在三合之爻，主從良為娼。日辰臨交爻，主心意未絕。妻帶財生應爻，妻以財誘外人；應帶財生妻爻，外人以財誘妻。應自外宮來，主遠方人；應自內來，近親之人。世爻動帶鬼隔斷，為家人間阻；應爻動帶鬼隔斷，為外人間阻其情。

The husband's line is in conflict with the wife's life line, and if the divination shows two wealth lines, it indicates the husband will remarry. If the wife's life line is located on the line where the husband's line is in conflict with a harmful star, and also encounters two wealth lines in a position that is being harmed, it indicates the husband will cause the death of two wives. If this is further combined with the day branch and a harmonious relationship with the adjacent wealth line, it definitely means he will remarry. Conversely, if the husband's line is combined with the day branch and moving line, and carries harmful stars such as劫煞, 羊刃, or 三刑 to harm the wife's life line, it indicates the wife will be harmed by the husband. "The wife and the response line are in harmony" means the wife line and the response line are in harmony, indicating the wife has an affair outside. If the wife's life line is in harmony with the response line and also carries 咸池, 玄武, or 桃花, it indicates she has an affair. If the husband's line is combined with the day branch and harms the wife's line, and also harms the response line, it indicates the husband will catch the affair on the spot. If the husband's line is in the same triple harmony as the world and response lines, it indicates the wife will become a prostitute. If the day branch is on the "交" line, it indicates her feelings are not yet cut off. If the wife line carries wealth to generate the response line, it indicates the wife is using money to attract outsiders. If the response line carries wealth to generate the wife line, it indicates outsiders are using money to entice the wife. If the response line comes from the outer trigram, it indicates a distant person; if it comes from the inner trigram, it indicates a close relative. If the world line moves and carries official ghosts to separate the two, it indicates family members are blocking the affair. If the response line moves and carries ghosts to separate the two, it indicates outsiders are obstructing this affair.

男臨女子互爻，內多淫慾。男身爻起臨女命爻，女身爻起臨男命爻，謂互尊卑失序，主有淫亂事。若夫妻互相合，主先奸後娶。據理而詳可也。青龍水木臨妻位，多獲奩財；如財臨青龍，水木有氣，夫命臨之，更有氣，主得妻財多。命帶玄武財爻，有暗來妻財。如辛丑日下，得恆觀卦是。

The lines of the two partners cross each other, indicating there may be immoral affairs within the family. If the man's body line is on the woman's destiny line, and the woman's body line is on the man's destiny line, this is called mutual disorder and confusion of hierarchy, which suggests there may be immoral relationships. If the couple's lines are in harmony, it indicates that they first had an affair before getting married. All these situations should be carefully examined according to reason. "Azure Dragon water and wood on the wife's position" means that the Azure Dragon and water and wood lines are on the wife's position, indicating that the wife's family will provide a large dowry. If the wealth line is on the Azure Dragon, and the water and wood lines are strong, and the husband's destiny line is also on top and strong, it indicates that the wife will bring a substantial dowry. If the destiny line carries the Black Tortoise wealth line, it indicates that the wife's wealth comes secretly, for example, when the hexagram is the Constancy or the Contemplation on the Xinchou day, this situation occurs.

玄武桃花犯命中，荒淫酒色。身命帶玄武桃花，主貪酒色。男則粘紅綴綠，女則葉人牽惹。世應妻爻三合，當招偏正之夫；為世應財爻三合妻爻，更逢兩鬼合身命，主有偏正之夫。財交世應六沖，必是生離之婦。妻身命爻值鬼爻，與世應並日辰動破合；重重相沖，與財兩合；或妻身命爻，與世應動爻相沖，或日辰相沖，主是生離之婦也。

The Black Tortoise and the Peach Blossom clash with the native's destiny, indicating that this person is indulgent in wine and women. If the body line and life line carry the Black Tortoise and Peach Blossom, it signifies a tendency to be addicted to both alcohol and sexual pleasures: men may be unfaithful, while women may attract outsiders. "World and Response Line and Wife Line form a Triple Harmony" means that the World and Response Line and the Wife Line form a Triple Harmony, indicating one wife with both a husband and a concubine: when the World and Response Line's wealth line and Wife Line form a Triple Harmony, and also encounter two official ghosts that harmonize with the body and life lines, it indicates that this wife has both a legal husband and a concubine. "Wealth Line connects with World and Response Line and Six Clashes" is the opposite situation, indicating a wife who will inevitably separate from her husband: the body and life lines of the wife are occupied by official ghosts, and clash with the World and Response Line and the Day Branch, either being broken or harmonized, with multiple clashes and also harmonizing with two wealth lines; or the body and life lines of the wife clash with the moving line of the World and Response Line, or are clashed by the Day Branch, indicating that she is destined to separate from her husband.

世應為妻爻相隔逢沖，必招外郡之人；世應在日辰旬中隔斷妻爻，或與夫爻相隔，在日辰旬外逢沖，主是外郡之人。夫隔妻爻，妻動在游魂世應之外，主他州人也。夫妻與福德相逢帶合，必近親鄰之女。男與財爻相近，俱在本宮，或卦中，主婚姻近處。就中合見子孫，主因親致親，或故親為媒。

The world and response lines separate the wife line and encounter a clash, indicating that the husband will definitely marry a woman from another county or town. If the world and response lines cut off the wife line within the ten years of the day branch, or separate the wife line from the husband line, and then encounter a clash outside the ten years of the day branch, it indicates that the wife comes from another prefecture. If the husband line and wife line are separated, and the wife line moves outside the world and response lines of the wandering soul hexagram, it indicates that the wife comes from another state. Conversely, if the husband and wife lines meet with the 'fortune virtue' line, which is the children line, and there is a harmonious connection, it indicates that the husband will marry a woman from nearby relatives or neighbors. If the husband line is close to the wealth line, and both are in the same hexagram or the same trigram, it indicates that the marriage will take place nearby. If the harmonious connection involves the children line, it indicates that the marriage will be through relatives or through an old acquaintance acting as a matchmaker.

命逢死氣，最嫌煞忌當頭；身臨命家日家逢死氣，若日辰動爻並殺，倘克身命，主有死亡之禍。鬼入墓鄉，尤忌身爻濺血。命爻帶鬼入墓，怕身爻帶殺或受制，最不吉之兆。惡莫惡於三刑迭刃；刑無刃不能傷人，刃無刑禍亦不大。若刑刃兩全，帶殺克身，臨官主犯官符刑憲事。玄武傷財，劫賊圖財致命之事。世並日辰動爻，克應帶殺，主我傷他人；應並日辰動爻，帶殺克世，主他人殺我。為官掌生死之權，名揚夷夏。若漁獵技藝之人，禍當滅沒；否則疲癃殘疾之人。若龍德發動，凶中則有吉之象。

When the life line encounters death qi, it is most unfavorable forInauspicious Sha andHostile God to confront directly. If the life line is located in the home of the native or the day branch and meets death qi, and if the day branch and moving line also connect withInauspicious Sha, then once they overcome the life line, it indicates a danger of death. "Ghost entering the tomb" refers to the life line carrying the official ghost and entering the tomb, especially when the life line meets blood-related matters. When the life line carries the official ghost into the storage, it is most dangerous if the life line also carriesInauspicious Sha or is restrained, which is the worst omen. Among all the evils, the worst are "three punishments" and "shearing knife" overlapping. If there is only punishment without shearing knife, it does not harm people; if there is only shearing knife without punishment, the disaster is not great; if both punishment and shearing knife are present, andInauspicious Sha overcome the life line, then it indicates breaking the law and suffering from legal punishment. If it also bringsBlack Tortoise and causes loss, it indicates robbery and harm to life. If the world line combines with the day branch and moving line, and carriesInauspicious Sha to overcome the response line, it indicates harming others. If the response line combines with the day branch and moving line, and carriesInauspicious Sha to overcome the world line, it indicates others harming oneself. If such a pattern falls on an official, it indicates holding power of life and death and being famous both inside and outside. If it falls on a fisherman, hunter, or craftsman, it indicates suffering misfortune and death. Otherwise, it indicates a weak and sickly person with disabilities. If the "dragon virtue" is activated in the hexagram, it indicates a fortunate omen amidst misfortune.

凶莫凶於四虎交加。日家應家白虎，即胎神；月破白虎，六神白虎，太歲白虎，命家白虎，即日神。白虎化白虎，重重臨宅克身，主刑剋伏制之事。若帶鬼殺重重，並喪吊凶神，舉家遭禍死亡，庶十幾八九。若卦中龍德動，主喜事至，則稍輕，是悲喜相半之兆。

Among all the凶 signs, the most dangerous is when four White Tigers overlap and affect the same position. The four White Tigers refer to the White Tiger in the day's position and the responding position, which is also called the fetal spirit; the White Tiger combined with the month breaker, the White Tiger of the six spirits, and the White Tiger of the year's ruler; as well as the White Tiger in the destiny position, which is also called the day spirit. When the White Tiger transforms into another White Tiger and repeatedly affects the dwelling爻 to attack the body爻, it indicates there will be punishments and being oppressed by others. If it is further combined with official ghosts and凶 stars, and also includes the凶 spirits 'Sāngmén' and 'Diàogù', then the whole family is likely to suffer misfortune and death. However, if the 'Lóngdé' (Dragon Virtue) is activated in the hexagram, it indicates good news is coming, and the凶 signs will be somewhat reduced, resulting in a mixture of sorrow and joy.

四鬼貼身，防生災咎；貼身鬼帶破碎殺，主有破相之疾。乾主頭面小腸，喘急咳嗽之疾；坎主兩耳，腎間之疾；艮主背肋，手指之疾；震主下部，腰足痛之疾；巽主兩股兩腿，頭髮血氣之疾；離主眼目，心經之疾；坤主腸間，脾胃之疾；兌主口齒，及唇之疾。餘仿此。

Four official ghosts closely attached to the person's爻 position indicate a need to be cautious of potential misfortunes; if these attached official ghosts also carry the 'Broken Fragments'Inauspicious Sha, it suggests illness involving disfigurement or injury. As for the specific location of the illness, it is determined by the eight palaces: The Qian palace governs the head and face and small intestine, often leading to ailments like shortness of breath and coughing; the Kan palace governs the two ears, often leading to kidney-related illnesses; the Gen palace governs the back, spine, and ribs, often leading to hand-related ailments; the Zhen palace governs the lower body, often leading to waist and leg pain; the Xun palace governs the thighs and legs, often leading to hair and blood-related ailments; the Li palace governs the eyes and eyesight, often leading to heart-related illnesses; the Kun palace governs the intestines and abdomen, often leading to spleen and stomach-related illnesses; and the Dui palace governs the mouth, teeth, and lips, often leading to related ailments. The rest follow similar patterns.

三傳克世，易惹災危。三傳：太歲月建日辰。帶殺帶鬼，克世身命，主宅丁人眷災危。太歲連年之禍，月建主累月之災殃也。劫亡兩賊傷身，青草墳頭之鬼；身命兩空遇殺，黃泉路上之人。身命逢絕，在旬中空亡；亡神劫殺，帶鬼傷身克命，主有死亡之患。勾陳傷玄武之身財，女多凶禍；白虎損青龍之官鬼，男忌死亡。

The Three Transmissions come to harm the World Line, easily leading to misfortune and danger. The Three Transmissions refer to the Tai Su, the Month Builder, and the Day Branch. They bring forthInauspicious Sha and Official Ghosts to harm the World Line and the body and life lines, indicating that there will be misfortune and danger among the family members. The Tai Su signifies continuous misfortune over several years, while the Month Builder indicates ongoing calamities for several months. "Robbery Sha and Death God injure the body line" means that the Robbery Sha and Death God, these two evil stars, injure the body line, making a person like a lonely ghost on a grave mound. When the body and life lines both fall into emptiness and meetInauspicious Sha, it is like a person on the path to the underworld. If the body and life lines meet their end and fall into the empty position of this旬, and the Death God and Robbery Sha bring Official Ghosts to injure the body and harm the life line, it indicates a danger of death. As for "Gou Chen" injuring the body line and wealth line under the influence of Xuan Wu, it indicates that women are more likely to suffer misfortune. "Bai Hu" injuring the Official Ghosts under the influence of Qing Long indicates that men should beware of death.
