The seventh section is about the Ghost of the Room.

豬宿火應離宮，羊星臥合乾位。壽長在四野之宮（辰戌丑未甲乙命長），命短居八煞之地（庚申辛酉）。羊虎逢巳亥多豐，（丙寅己戌寅），豬龍得江湖大貴（癸亥化豬龍）。乙辛刑徒配之人（乙辛坐於二社），丙寅會運戎之吏（丙寅交生，軍戎文吏）。

"The Shi Fire Pig" and "Gui Metal Sheep" belong to the categories of pig and sheep, which are gentle but fear knives, chopping blocks, tigers, and leopards. The Pig is associated with fire and should be in the Li palace; the Sheep star is located in the Qian position. Those with long lifespans are in the four remote palaces (Chen, Xu, Chou, and Wei, paired with Jia and Yi, their fate is long-lived); those with short lifespans are in the eight harmful places (Gengshen, Xinyou). Sheep meeting Si and Hai bring great wealth (Bingyin, Ji Xu, and the寅 position); Pigs meeting dragons in the rivers and lakes bring great honor (Guihai transforms into Pig and Dragon). When the Yi and Xin heavenly stems are paired, they are people who are punished and exiled (Yi and Xin are located above the two shrines). When Bingyin meets, they are military and civil officials (Bingyin meets and indicates military and civil positions).

天倉旺主望祿之榮（乙酉天倉，富貴之命）。地利全有自成之貴（乙丑、乙未）。破祿者庚申，（金多孤貧），榮財者甲乙（甲乙多秀富貴）。見豺狼逢牛宿除迍（見戊戌、甲戌，有辛丑不畏）。遇虎豹得井星獲祿（丙寅、壬寅，見乙未無災）。金水兮好色無情（金水多主酒色），木金兮貪財不足（金木多貪財不足）。三宮失災壽夭區區（火多破命），五星金虧橫災碌碌（金旺主橫死）。

When the Heavenly Granary is prosperous and strong, it indicates the potential for honor and wealth (Yiyou is the Heavenly Granary, indicating a wealthy and prosperous destiny); when the earthly advantages are complete, one naturally attains noble status (Yichou and Yiwei). Breaking the禄 (fate of wealth) is Gengshen (excess metal leads to poverty and isolation); gaining wealth and riches is associated with Jia and Yi (excess Jia and Yi indicates refined and prosperous fortune). Seeing wolves and tigers together with the Ox mansion can instead remove difficulties (seeing Wuxu and Jiaxu, if Xinchou is present, there is no fear); encountering tigers and leopards together with the 'Well Wood Dog' can instead bring wealth (Bingyin and RENYIN, if Yiwei is present, there is no disaster). Excess metal and water leads to indulgence in pleasures without affection (excess metal and water indicates indulgence in alcohol and lust); when wood and metal are mixed, one becomes greedy for wealth and never satisfied (excess wood and metal indicates greed for wealth and insatiable desire). When the three palaces are lost and disasters occur, life is short and achievements are meager (excess fire destroys life); when among the five elements, the metal energy is deficient, there are constant misfortunes and a life of toil (excess metal leads to sudden death).

甲乙榮隱之地，庚辛興遇之鄉。遇金疾厄之門（丙申丁酉），多土孤貧之類（丙戌丁未）。假虎有水，為奇化龍，無壬少癸，顛逢軫翼，畏見庚辛。象有三臺假勢，時逢乙卯（見乙卯氣化象，有水貴）。獅登八座在天，日帶壬申（化獅子）。戊己旺不足之方，丙丁盛破祿之位。女多辛丑加之，男少丙先臨月（丙子多）。

"The Bi Water Leopard" group belongs to the category of Leopards, and it is suitable for lakes, wild areas, and sandy shores. It most fears encountering a knife and anvil. The stems Jia and Yi are its flourishing and suitable places for seclusion, while the stems Geng and Xin are its prosperous and favorable regions. Encountering metal leads to the door of illness and misfortune (Bingshen, Dingyou); excessive earth results in being lonely and poor (Bingxu, Dingwei). If it borrows the power of the tiger and has water, it forms a rare transformation into a dragon. If there is no Ren and few Gui, and during hardship it encounters "Zhen Water Worm" and "Yi Fire Snake," it is most afraid of encountering Geng and Xin. Among the creatures of the category, there are three platforms that can borrow power, and if the time star meets Yimao (the qi and transformation of Yimao form a shape, and with water it brings honor). A lion occupying the eight positions and residing in heaven is when the day star carries Renshen (transformed into a lion). The flourishing and strong of Wu and Ji are insufficient places, while the flourishing and strong of Bing and Ding are positions that break official salary. For female fate, there are many instances of Xinchou; for male fate, those with few sons have Bing fire first appearing in the monthly star (those with many Bingzi have this).

婁昴同門，逢牛顯祿（辛丑）。甲積兮山林不足，乙秀兮稼穡殷勤（乙亥無辛，大富）。門戶旺富盛豪勢（乙酉、乙卯、甲子、甲午）。吞啖有伶仃孤苦（丙寅、壬寅、甲戌、戊戌）。壬申、壬子，犬化之因，庚戌、甲寅，雞食之本。糟糠見衣祿重添（乙未是也），廚舍遇財錢難聚（豬侵食也）。

"The娄金狗" and "昴日鸡" belong to the categories of dog and chicken; one guards the gate, and the other crowns at dawn.娄 and昴 share the same gate, and when encountering the Ox mansion (辛丑), they show prosperity. For those with accumulated Jia wood, the mountains and forests are insufficient; for those with refined Yi wood, the harvest is abundant and successful (Yi亥 without Xin metal, great wealth). Those with prosperous and strong gate guardians are wealthy and luxurious (Yi酉, Yi卯, Jia子, Jia午); those who are devoured are lonely and destitute (Bing寅, Ren寅, Jia戌, Wu戌). Renshen and Renzi are the reasons for the dog receiving transformation; Geng戌 and Jia寅 are the foundation for the chicken receiving food. In places of coarse food, additional clothing and sustenance are added (Yi未 is an example); in kitchens, wealth is difficult to accumulate (because pigs come to take the food).

見虎豹迎龍克勝（見虎豹，有庚辰，反勝）。逢豺狼見馬多祿（有丙午多豐）。犬遊黑道，雞叫明方（壬子是黑道，丙午是明方）。短矮兮土生逢絕（土在辰宮地方辰）。頭偏兮木兮遭傷（甲午乙未）。雞逢庚辛兮子則敗（庚辰辛酉是也）。犬遇戊己男昌，女見人返仿。甲申為箭，無置弓矢，丁卯為防。火旺兮雞多瞽目，火焚兮犬有風癇（甲午乙未）。

Seeing tigers and leopards but encountering the dragon above, one can overcome and win (seeing tigers and leopards with Gengchen, reverse victory); encountering jackals and wolves but seeing a horse, indicates many official positions (with Bingwu, even more abundant). A dog wandering on the Black Path, a rooster calling in the bright direction (Renzi is the Black Path, Bingwu is the bright direction). A short and squat body indicates earth born at its decline (earth in the Chen palace); a head leaning to one side indicates wood damaged (Jiashen, Yiwei). A rooster meeting Geng and Xin indicates children's decline (Gengchen, Xinyou are the cases); a dog meeting Wu and Ji indicates prosperity for males, but females go against it. Jiashen transforms into an arrow, but there is no place to place the bow and arrow; Dingmao needs to be cautious. Roosters with strong fire tend to have blind eyes, dogs with fire burned have fits of wind epilepsy (Jiashen, Yiwei).

願逢甲乙兮，有柳花之勢；好飛戊己兮，以完樂之功。得丙丁，化金烏之象；逢庚辰，變丹風之祥。春木茂，慈烏返哺（春夏見木，主孝義），摘花雌雄翱翔（甲辰乙巳，為化貴也）。道路廣，外處之財（子午卯酉為道，得外州縣）。門戶重，他人之祉（門戶多主他舍居）。

"The 'Stomach Earth Chicken' and 'Bì Moon Bird' belong to the category of chickens and birds, both being flying creatures that enjoy flowers, trees, and thickets. Their desires are fulfilled when encountering Jia or Yi, which create a situation of willow branches and floral shadows. They thrive when flying over Wu or Ji, achieving complete joy. When encountering Bing or Ding, they transform into the image of the Golden Bird; when encountering Gengchen, they become a symbol of the Crimson Phoenix. In spring when wood is flourishing, like the慈乌 returning to feed its parents (seen in spring and summer with trees, symbolizing filial piety), and when picking flowers with both male and female birds flying together (Jiachen and Yisi indicate a transformation to nobility). When the path is wide, they gain wealth from outside areas (Zi, Wu, Mao, and You represent paths, indicating gains from other regions). When the entrance is complex, they enjoy the blessings of others (multiple entrances indicate living in someone else's home)."

午宮見水兮，甲乙旺，祖業之豐；一主所就兮，門戶疊，偏房之子（門戶重，偏房之子）。庚辛無破兮，當秋也富積千種（戊辰、己巳、己酉，有甲乙無金是也）。丙丁多傷兮，值夏也貧無顆粟（夏生丙丁多貧）。疾病逢月日門中殘缺，遇丙丁肢廣。化居風舞之翔（甲辰乙巳有食貴）。見化羽施之長（同上，烏乙酉丁丑妨三妻之命）。

In theWu Palace, if water is present and 甲 and 乙 are strong, the ancestral fortune is abundant. If there is a single main element with overlapping doors, it indicates a son from a secondary wife (overlapping doors signify a庶出 son). If 庚 and 辛 are not destroyed, wealth will accumulate greatly by autumn (this applies to 戊辰, 己巳, 己酉; if there are 甲 and 乙 but no metal, it is the case). If 丙 and 丁 are heavily damaged, poverty will result during summer. Illness should be found in the doors of the month and day that are incomplete. If 丙 and 丁 are encountered, the limbs will be broad. If the element is transformed, it shows the image of wind dancing and flying (this applies to 甲辰 and 乙巳 with food god as a valuable sign). If the element is encountered, the wings will spread and grow long (same as above; if 「毕月乌」 falls on 乙酉 or 丁丑, it will cause harm to three wives).

花多難秀，果盛能食。帶花食果庚午盛，腰帶金巖谷逢山。庚申旺髯長朱履（戊寅、庚申）。風生急浪好歌（見壬申、甲辰好唱）。花落伏金多唱（丙申、丁酉）。門戶重僕下之人，江海旺他鄉之旅。丙丁多見果艱辛（有甲乙見丙丁是也）。庚辛重刑財難聚（金多有甲乙也）。耳聾兮水土相刑（水土多是也）。疾病兮丙庚多會（丙庚多主疾病），花衰逢午宮區區（見甲午乙己，一生返覆）。

The group "mouth fire monkey" and "participate water ape" refers to monkeys and apes that depend on flowers and fruits for food. Where there are many flowers, it is difficult to have good hair; where there are abundant fruits, they can eat well. Those that carry flowers and can eat fruits are strongest in Gengwu. Those who carry metal around their waist and encounter mountains in rocky valleys are also good. Those with Gengshen in a prosperous and strong state have long beards and walk on red shoes (Wuyin, Gengshen). Those who appear in areas with sudden winds and turbulent waves are good at singing (see Renshen, Jiachen for good singing). Those who appear where flowers fall and gold is hidden also tend to sing a lot (Bingshen, Dingyou). Those with overlapping doors and windows are servants and lower class people; those with prosperous and strong states in rivers and seas are travelers living away from home. Those with many Bing and Ding are faced with difficulties in obtaining fruits (if there are also Ji and Yi along with Bing and Ding). Those with repeated Geng and Xin suffer from injuries and have difficulty accumulating wealth (too much metal with Ji and Yi). Deafness is due to the conflict between water and earth (because both water and earth are abundant). Illness is caused by the meeting of Bing and Geng (those with many Bing and Geng are prone to illness). When flowers decline and meet the Wu palace, there is little success (see Jiawu, Yisi, etc., which result in a life of repeated setbacks).

甲乙忌逢箕豹，戊己懼見奎婁。甲辰乙巳悠樂，戊辰己巳優遊。離宮坐丙丁兮張號明方，亥位逢壬癸兮鹿遭暗道。天庭獐兮三臺地，草地鹿曰一品官。年月旺祖財多豐，日時秀己身得利。癸發兮通四野，戊旺兮遊崗坡。苦苦年月旺初年，濟濟日時隆中歲。

"The 'Willow Earth獐' and 'Zhang Moon Deer' group belongs to the category of獐 and鹿, preferring grasslands and hills. Jia and Yi wood dislike encountering 'Ji Water Leopard'. Wu and Ji earth fear meeting 'Kui Wood Wolf' and 'Liu Metal Dog'. Those falling in Jiachen and Yisi bring a carefree and joyful state, while those in Wuchen and Jisi bring calm and leisurely ease. When the Li palace is occupied by Bing and Ding fire, Zhang Host is called the Bright Direction; when Hai position meets Ren and Gui water, the Deer encounters an obscure path. The獐 in the heavenly court is located in the Three Platforms; the Deer in the grassland is known as a First-Class official. If the year and month stars are strong, the ancestors' wealth is abundant; if the day and hour stars are refined, personal benefits are obtained. When Gui water is activated, it reaches everywhere; when Wu earth is strong and prosperous, it moves across hills and ridges. If the year and month are strong, the early years are laborious; if the day and hour are flourishing, the middle years achieve success."

甲乙庇陰多榮，戊己純全定貴。日臨陽水昇天（壬子、壬午有乙貴也），時值金剛伏地（庚申辛酉）。愁逢胃昴，畏見豬貐。甲申坐處招貧夭（鍬钁之下）。丙寅會少失祖。居庭驟發雲雨兮，貴顯三公（乙卯見水及庚戌、辛亥），禾稼生成蛟龍兮官遷六部（甲寅、乙卯、庚辰、壬辰、甲辰）。合戊己宮位不久（有戊己，無壬癸，居官不久）。會丙丁僧道離任（有丙丁焚居，僧道不能久任）。

"The Winged Fire Snake" and "Zhen Water Worm" belong to the category of snakes and worms, and with the position of Chen they can transform into dragons. Those with Jia and Yi receive much protection and achieve great honor. If the day star is located on Yang Water, one can ascend to heaven (Ren Zi and Ren Wu, with Yi Wood being especially auspicious); if the hour star is located on strong Metal, one will be grounded (Geng Shen and Xin You). The concern is encountering "Wei Earth Rooster" and "Mao Sun Chicken," and the fear is meeting pigs and yu. Sitting at Ji Shen leads to poverty and early death (under the axe and hoe); meeting Bing Yin results in losing ancestral property at a young age. If one resides in the courtyard and suddenly clouds and rain arise, one will attain high official rank up to the Three Dukes (Yi Mao with water, as well as Geng Xu and Xin Hai). If in the field of grain crops a dragon is formed, one will be promoted to the Six Ministries (Jia Yin, Yi Mao, Geng Chen, Ren Chen, Jia Chen). If one combines with Wu Ji, the palace position will not last long (with Wu Ji but without Ren Gui, one cannot hold office for long). If one combines with Bing Ding, monks and Taoists will have to resign (with Bing Ding burning their dwelling, monks and Taoists cannot hold their posts for long).

假如財帛宮，起手以胎禽克下宿加子宮，演至財帛宮。妻妾宮與奴僕宮皆仿此。遷移、官祿、福德、相貌四宮，以胎禽上宿，生胎宿居逆行演至，各宮皆同。

The twelve life domains each have an associated animal ruler, and their calculation methods depend on the principles of generation and overcoming. For example, in the domain of wealth, the starting point is to take the animal that is overcome by the fetal animal, place it on the Zi (Rat) position, and proceed in order until reaching the wealth domain; the domains of spouse and servants are calculated in the same way. For the four domains of migration, official rank, fortune virtue, and appearance, one takes the animal preceding the fetal animal, and proceeds in reverse order based on the relationship of being generated by the fetal animal's host until reaching the respective domain. Each domain follows the same method.

弟兄以下宿同胎宿。比和加子演至兄弟宮，亦逆行，皆仿此。疾厄宮以上禽克胎宿加子演至疾厄宮，皆仿此。俱以胎宿為主。如平日主亦屬二十八宿中，惟日月二宿，日從火，月從水，其餘各從本屬。田宅、男女宮，以胎宿生下宿加子演至，二宮皆仿此，亦逆行。

The Brothers' Palace takes the next host and the胎 host that are harmonious, adds them to the子宫 host, and pushes them forward to the Brothers' Palace, also using retrograde movement. The Health and Illness Palace takes the host that is overcome by the animal of the previous host, adds it to theZi Palace host, and pushes it forward to the Health and Illness Palace, following the same method. In general, the胎 host is always the main reference. As for the main stars encountered on a daily basis, they all belong to the twenty-eight hosts; only the Sun host and the Moon host are special: the Sun host is considered as Fire, the Moon host as Water, and the other hosts follow their own Five Phases. The Field and House Palace and the Male and Female Palace take the next host generated by the胎 host, add it to theZi Palace host, and push it forward to their respective palaces, both following the same method and using retrograde movement.

三才奠位，五行化生。 （三才者，天地人也。奠位者，形而上天也，形而下地也，命於中者人也。自未分之先，內含真一之水，水生木，木生火，火生土，土生金，遞相化生，往來不息，故萬物出焉。）

Heaven, Earth, and Humanity each occupy their proper position, and through the Five Phases, all things are generated. (The term "San Cai" refers to Heaven, Earth, and Humanity. "Dian Wei" means that the transcendent is Heaven, the material is Earth, and Humanity, receiving the mandate from Heaven and Earth, is in the middle. Before Heaven and Earth were separated, there was already the true water of primordial oneness. Water generates wood, wood generates fire, fire generates earth, earth generates metal, and they mutually generate in succession, continuously transforming, thus generating all things.)

人為品彙之靈命。演星禽之學，造理雖關於天賦，妙蘊莫逃乎數推。 （品者，名數也。匯者，物類也。人為萬物之至靈者，稟陰陽正氣而受命也。即今命演禽之學，不過論命決疑而已。然此命雖關於天賦，亦莫能逃乎術數，而推之以決其休咎雲。）

Human beings are the most spiritually endowed among all living things. The study of star and animal divination is based on principles given by heaven, yet its subtle aspects can still be calculated through numerical patterns and methods. (A "category" refers to a class or rank, and "collection" refers to a group or type. Human beings are the most spiritually endowed among all things because they receive the righteous qi of yin and yang and thus are endowed with life. Now, the study of animal divination is merely about interpreting fate and resolving doubts. However, although fate is given by heaven, it ultimately cannot escape the calculations of numerology and can be determined to judge fortune and misfortune.)

是以顏回仁學，早歲夭亡；盜跖兇頑，年高矍鑠。 （顏回，字子淵，孔門之亞聖也。一簞食，一瓢飲，處之泰然，學幾至於聖人之域。仁在三月，不違之時，不幸三十二歲而卒。以顏子之仁學，宜夫享高年而行道，奈何夭折，豈非命之所決也。盜跖，即展雄也，食邑柳下，故曰柳盜跖。春秋戰國時縱橫十八國，兇暴無敵，年至九十二歲而死。以展雄之凶，宜夫短年促壽，反得白髮皤然而死，以此論之，顯然命之所肄，復何疑哉。）

Therefore, Yan Hui was benevolent, kind, and devoted to learning, yet he died young. While Dou Zhi was fierce and wicked, he lived a long and vigorous life. Yan Hui, whose given name was Y渊, was the second sage among Confucius' disciples. He lived contentedly with a single basket of rice and a single gourd of water, and his learning approached that of a sage. He could maintain virtue for three months without deviation, yet he died at the age of thirty-two. Given Yan Hui's benevolence and dedication to learning, he should have lived a long life and pursued the great way. Why did he die young? Is it not determined by fate? Dou Zhi, also known as Zhan Xiong, had his fief in Liuxia, hence his name Liuxia Zhi. During the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods, he roamed through eighteen states, being fierce and invincible, and lived to be ninety-two years old. Given Zhan Xiong's wickedness, he should have died young, yet he lived to an old age. Thus, the role of fate is evident, and there is nothing to question further.

陸績六歲作賓客，梁灝八十二登狀元。 （陸績，字公紀，吳人。年六歲往九江見袁術，術出橘，績懷三枚。後辭出，揖，墜地。術曰：“陸郎作賓客，乃懷橘乎?”績曰：“回家奉母。”術大奇之。梁灝，五代時晉高祖天福三年應舉，至宋太宗雍熙二年登榜。）

Lu Ji, at the age of six, was able to bring oranges from a visit, while Liang Hao did not become the top scholar until he was eighty-two. (Lu Ji, whose name was Gongji, was from Wu. At six years old, he went to Jiujiang to visit Yuan Shu. Yuan Shu offered oranges, and Lu Ji secretly took three in his pocket. When he was about to leave and bowed, the oranges fell to the ground. Yuan Shu said, "Lu boy, you are visiting, why do you still have oranges in your pocket?" Lu Ji replied, "I bring them home to honor my mother." Yuan Shu was greatly surprised. Liang Hao took the imperial examination during the Tianfu third year of the reign of the High Ancestor of the Later Jin Dynasty, but was not listed until the second year of Yongxi under Emperor Taizong of the Song Dynasty.)

是則窮通有定，壽夭莫移。命則一具而推之，理則合乎三而論也。 （窮者如大運、流星、大小運俱不化，或居死絕之地，或逢吞啖、形傷之類是也。）

This shows that one's prosperity or adversity, longevity or early death, is already determined. Although a person's fate is based on a single pattern, its principles must be considered in relation to the three periods. (By 'poverty,' it is meant that the major and minor years, as well as the great and small cycles, cannot transform successfully, or that they fall into dead or exhausted positions, or that they encounter situations of being devoured or harmed in form.)

若逢雷傷虎噬，溺水懸尸，酒色煙霞，須識平和安靜；風塵花柳，要明旺相休囚。 （蛟龍宮洎四野之地，值夏月生，四柱中又無壬癸亥子字助，或運行枯涸，負贔等煞，流年見乙卯庚午，其人必遭雷震死。豬羊犬牛宮洎山林，秋冬夜生，四柱無救，流星小限，再見虎豹，定主兇暴惡死。井木犴宮洎四野之地，大小限是虎豹，春夜生，是謂得食。若生奸心狐，更在乙未宮，或在所洎宮，決主自縊。

If one encounters sudden death from lightning, tiger bites, drowning, or hanging corpses, or becomes addicted to alcohol, sex, and drugs, one must understand the principles of peace and tranquility; as for falling into the world of vice and debauchery, one must clearly distinguish between prosperous and strong, weak and confined. If the dragon's palace falls in the wilderness and the person is born in summer, with no壬癸亥子 in the four pillars to assist, or if the destiny moves into dry and barren or negative and oppressive evils, and the current year meets乙卯 or庚午, the person will certainly die from lightning—this is because the dragon lacks water and meets fire and thunder, thus being harmed by lightning. If the pig, sheep, dog, or ox's palace falls in mountains and forests, and the person is born in autumn or winter at night, with no salvation in the four pillars, and if the meteor and small limit meet tigers and leopards, the person will certainly die from violence—gentle animals entering the forest of fierce beasts have nowhere to escape. If the well wood dog's palace falls in the wilderness, and the large and small limits are tigers and leopards, and the person is born at night in spring, this is called obtaining food; but if the person develops evil intentions and becomes a fox, and is in theYiwei palace or in the palace it falls into, it will certainly lead to suicide by hanging.

鬼金羊運限見犬狼所逼，流年或壬子癸亥，定主投河而死。如猿猴狐狢獐鹿燕蝠等禽，洎在花洞柳牆歌臺舞榭，更值春夜生者，男子荒淫，女人濁亂。假饒不落風塵隊，亦是花前月下期。如猿猴馬鹿等禽宮至山林，居於休囚之地，又無食祿，更四柱犯破祖、空亡、羅網、孤寡等煞，主人多親道術，志慕清虛。凡此數條，最要明究旺相休囚，四時得失，灼然可見禍福矣。）

The destiny of "Ghost Metal Sheep" shows signs of being pursued by dogs and wolves, and with the flow of the year being Renzi or Guihai, it is certain to die by drowning in the river. The sheep inherently fears dogs and wolves, and falling into water further leaves no place to escape. Animals like monkeys, foxes, hedgehogs, deer, swallows, and bats, when found in places such as flower caves, willow walls, singing stages, and dancing pavilions, especially if born on a spring night, will lead to men being licentious and women being disorderly. Even if they do not fall into the ranks of the fallen, they will always be associated with the time of flowers and moons. This is because these animals naturally enjoy playing and wandering, and they are further influenced by the realm of sounds and colors. Animals like monkeys, horses, and deer, when their positions are in mountain forests and they are in weak and confined conditions, and without food andofficial stipend, and their four pillars are further afflicted by broken ancestors, empty loss, net traps, and lonely orphans, these people are mostly close to Daoist practices and seek a quiet and secluded life. Among these points, the most important is to understand the prosperity, strength, weakness, and confinement of the heavenly stems and earthly branches, as well as the gains and losses of the four seasons, so that the fortune and misfortune will be clear.

所喜者垣廟高強，所忌者吞啖刑害。迷者千徑百蹊，明者一通百達。 （垣廟者，化道也。吞啖刑害者，如虎豹食豬羊之類是也。迷者見有二限：壽星、流星，忙然無措。又有一所值之禽為主星，次禽為胎星，又有以子平起例。數節氣三日為限，一歲為運。殊不知此禽演只以主星所屬五行成數所至宮為運，似此謬亂，何以驗其貴賤禍福矣。）

What is favored is the strong and prominent position of the stars, while what is to be avoided is the devouring and punishment. The confused see a thousand paths and hundred trails before them, while the enlightened understand one path and thus comprehend all. (By "垣庙," we mean the path of transformation; by "吞啖刑害," we mean the devouring like tigers and leopards eating pigs and sheep. The confused only see two limits: the longevity star and the meteor star, and are at a loss. Others take the first bird as the main star and the second as the fetal star, while some apply the method of Zi Ping to calculate, dividing three days of each season into one limit and one year into one fortune. But they do not realize that the method of Yanyin is based on the number of the Five Phases of the main star to determine the fortune in a certain palace. To calculate in such a haphazard way, how can one verify the fortune of wealth, nobility, misfortune, or blessing?)

原夫蛟龍躍浪於東南，立功名於萬世之上； （東方、南方，甲辰、乙卯也。甲辰，蛟龍之垣廟；乙卯，雷門也。更得三春九夏生，柱中再見壬癸子亥字，是建業垂統之君。不然則諸侯、王公、宰相、勳戚之命也。） 虎豹遁跡於西北，致太平於一統之間。 （西北，庚戌辛亥也，化天門琴堂。虎豹洎此宮，得秋冬夜生，則為貴顯威權之命。）

Originally, the dragon leaping in the southeast waves and surging waves can establish immortal achievements for generations. (East and South correspond to Jiachen and Yimao. Jiachen is the dragon's domain, and Yimao is the gate of thunder. If further supported by birth in spring and summer, and if the pillar contains characters like Ren, Gui, Zi, or Hai, then it is the fate of a ruler who establishes a foundation and passes it on to future generations; even if not, it is the fate of a prince, marquis, chancellor, or noble with great merit.) The tiger and leopard hiding in the northwest can bring peace and unity to the world. (Northwest corresponds to Gengxu and Xinhai, which form the heavenly gate and the hall of music. If the tiger and leopard are in this palace and the person is born in autumn or winter, then it is the fate of a person of high status who holds power and authority.)

非橫刑傷，狐狢豈宜乎子午； （戊子、戊午為陷阱，庚午為圓場。狐狢洎四野之宮，更見秋冬日生，運歲見此等化道，決主非橫而死。） 驚惶恐怖，蛟龍不利於寅申。 （甲寅化木龍，丙寅戰虎，戊寅蚯蚓煞，戊申負贔煞，庚申囚禁。此數化道，皆蛟龍絕地，四時皆然，主人偃蹇孤寒。）

Those who attract misfortune and injury are foxes and badgers, which are unsuitable to reside in the positions of Zi and Wu. (Wuzi and Wuwu are traps, while Gengwu is a roundabout. If foxes and badgers fall into the four outer palaces and are born in autumn or winter, and if the year or destiny also encounters these transformations, they will certainly suffer sudden misfortune and death—foxes and badgers are hidden birds, already losing their suitability during the day, and if they enter traps or roundabouts, there is no way to escape.) Those who experience fear and terror are dragons that are unfavorable in the positions of Yin and Shen. (Jiayin transforms into wooden dragons, Bingyin is a fighting tiger, Wuyin is a worm evil, Wushen is a burdened tortoise evil, and Gengshen is a confinement evil. These transformations are all the worst places for dragons, regardless of the season, leading to a life of hardship and isolation.)

木衰則枝葉凋零，春夏不宜乎虎豹。 （木衰者，如丁卯、辛卯也。虎豹洎此宮，春夏星此時無威，賴林木藏身以安。若值此凋林，則主無依失所也。） 劍鋒金值刀砧，豬貐牛羊防二八之生。 （壬申、癸酉、庚申、辛酉也。二八月，祭祀之時，此四禽至此宮分，更在二八子時生，其人橫夭惡死。）

When the wood energy wanes, the branches and leaves wither, so tigers and leopards are not suitable in spring and summer. (所谓 wood waning refers to cases like Dingmao and Xinmao, where the forest is withered. Tigers and leopards in this palace lack strength in spring and summer, relying on the forest for shelter; if they encounter a withered forest, they become homeless and displaced.) Sword-edged metal meeting the knife and anvil, pigs, leopards, cattle, and sheep should beware of those born in February and August. (Sword-edged metal and knife anvil refer to Renshen, Guiyou, Gengshen, and Xinyou. February and August are times of worship, and these four animals in these palace positions, if born at the子 hour of these months, will meet a violent and evil end—worship involves slaughtering pigs, cattle, and sheep, which is most inauspicious.)

山下火遇焚穴，烏雉猿猴忌六七之誕。 （丙申丁酉也。又為火光煞。焚穴者，丁丑、丙寅、丁卯、丙辰、丁未也。此四禽若夜生，主流鄉井，不守祖基。若流年小限再見此等宮分，則主失流落。） 豬帶懸針而破相，貧乏難當。 （懸針，丁未也。豬羊值此，主破相孤寒。）

Mountain below fire meets the burning grave, and crows, pheasants, monkeys and apes should avoid being born in June or July. (Mountain below fire refers to Bing Shen and Ding You, also called fire light evil. The burning grave refers to Ding Chou, Bing Yin, Ding Mao, Bing Chen, and Ding Wei. If these four animals are born at night, they will mostly leave their homeland, unable to maintain their ancestral property; if during the current year's small limit these palace positions appear again, it indicates wandering and losing their place.) Pigs with the suspended needle evil will suffer disfigurement, leading to poverty and difficulty in sustaining themselves. (The suspended needle refers to Ding Wei. Pigs and sheep encountering this will suffer physical disfigurement and live a lonely and impoverished life.)

馬遇攀鞍以長生，福權交互。 （攀鞍，甲辰也。馬洎此宮，化千里馬，喜躍乘軒。） 羊行旺處，或刃對沖，必主橫亡惡死。 （旺處，辛未也。庚申辛酉為刃，乙酉為劫殺。如羊行辛未，或小限流星沖起刃煞，主不善終。）

A horse encountering the position of Jiachen (甲辰) gains growth, and blessings and authority shine together. (攀鞍 refers to Jiachen. When a horse is in this position, it transforms into a thousand-mile horse, joyful and able to ride a high-ranking carriage.) A sheep moving to its flourishing position, if further confronted by a clash with its blade, will inevitably lead to a sudden and evil death. (The flourishing position is Xinwei (辛未), the native temple of the sheep; Gengshen (庚申) and Xinyou (辛酉) are the blades, and Yiyou (乙酉) is the killer. When a sheep reaches Xinwei, if the small limit or a meteor strikes the blade or killer, it indicates an untimely death—although the native temple is flourishing, encountering the blade is like a sheep entering a slaughterhouse.)

獐來黑道，或網交張，例當賊犯牢亡。 （黑道，壬癸也。地網，甲辰、乙巳是也。更值秋冬夜生，小限流星值此網索窩弓，其人做賊，必犯死在牢獄之中。） 心月狐旺在秋天，萍水他鄉之客。 （秋天，乙酉癸酉也，化玉兔，宜為商客。）

A wild boar arrives at the Black Path, and if there is another intersection with the net of the Earthly Branches, it is customary for the person to commit theft and die in prison. (The Black Path refers to Ren and Gui. The Earthly Net is Jiachen and Yisi. If this occurs in autumn and the night is born in autumn, and the small limit of the star is also in this net, the person will inevitably become a thief and eventually die in prison.) The Heart Mansion is strong in autumn, indicating a person who is a stranger in a foreign land. (Autumn refers to Yiyou and Guiyou. The fox transforms into a jade rabbit here, which is favorable for business and travel.)

房日兔生於夏月，柳營榆塞之軍。 （兔在夏月生者，不得其時，更分低微，多是軍卒隸役之人。） 馬貴鹿貴貼身，必作朱衣之客。 （馬洎乙丑化騶驅虞，丙辰化麒麟。鹿洎甲寅化獅子，甲辰化麒麟。胎命有此兩星，必是貴宦，腰金衣紫。）

The Room mansion (Fang Ri Tu) born in summer month is a soldier among the willow camp and elm pass. (The rabbit is born in summer month and not in its proper season, with a low status, mostly being a soldier or a servant.) If there are horses and deer of great fortune close by, they must be distinguished guests dressed in red clothes. (The horse falling on Yichou transforms into the zhouyu, and falling on Bingchen transforms into the qilin; the deer falling on Jiayin transforms into the lion, and falling on Jiachen transforms into the qilin. If the fetal star and the destiny star have these two, they must be officials of high rank, wearing a golden belt and dressed in purple robes.)

燕空馬空在命，定為巫祝之流。 （如宮分洎在十干空亡，或破祖空亡，多是師巫廟祝之人。） 虎入亥宮闇昧，傷殘子息。 （丁亥豬穴，癸亥貐廟。豬貐小限、流星值虎豹，定傷小口。）

When the Heavenly Stems Jia and Yi fall on the命宫, it is destined to be a person of the profession of divination and ritual. (If the palace falls on the ten heavenly stems' empty positions or the broken ancestor's empty position, it is mostly a person engaged in the practices of diviners and temple officials — since empty positions have no support, they can only serve ghosts and spirits.) When the Tiger enters theHai Palace, the situation becomes dark and unclear, leading to harm to children. (Dinghai is the pig's dwelling, Guihai is the tiger's temple. If the small limits of the pig and tiger and the meteor encounter the Tiger and Leopard, it will certainly cause harm to children.)

鹿奔虎地驚惶，定克尊親。 （獐鹿小子、流星見丙寅、壬寅之宮或是虎豹之禽，定傷父母。） 龍在虎宮，人財失散。 （蛟龍運限流星行丙寅，或虎豹，謂之龍虎戰鬥。春夏生龍勝，然未免擾攘不寧。秋冬生虎勝，輕則傷財，重則傷身。）

A deer running to the tiger's territory and showing fear will certainly harm the parents. (When the small limit of a deer or a meteor appears in the Bingyin or Renyin palace, or when the animal is a tiger or leopard, it will certainly injure the parents.) If a dragon is in the tiger's palace, both people and wealth will be lost. (When the dragon's destiny period or a meteor reaches Bingyin, or when encountering tigers and leopards, this is called 'dragon and tiger fighting.' Those born in spring and summer have the dragon in season and will win, but still face disturbances and unrest; those born in autumn and winter have the tiger in season and will suffer minor losses of wealth, or worse, injury to the body.)

豹居未位，六畜逃亡。 （乙未，犴宮也，虎豹畏之。小限、流星，輕則牲畜死亡，重則非橫不測之災。） 燕入朱門，必遇經遊之職。 （朱門，丁卯、丁酉。燕在春夏生，洎好宮分，運限至此，有職者定有升賞，無祿者財祿豐隆。）

The leopard resides in the position of Wei, and the six domestic animals flee. (Yiwei is the palace of Jingmu'an, which tiger and leopard fear. If the small limit or a meteor is in this position, minor cases may result in the death of livestock, while severe cases may bring unexpected and unpredictable disasters.) Swallows entering the red gate indicate a position involving travel and official duties. (The red gate refers to Dingmao and Dingyou. Swallows born in spring and summer and falling into a favorable palace position, when the fortune and time limit reach this position, those with official positions will certainly receive promotion and rewards, and those without official salary will also have abundant wealth and official position.)

烏飛龍背，定獲名利之權。 （甲辰化大鵬，戊辰化角準，庚辰化金鸞。烏洎此宮，或運限至此，君子進職，平人獲財。） 馬犬相逢太白宮，平生富貴。 （太白，己未。如主星星日馬身命星或婁金狗共洎此宮，得冬日生。蓋己未化角鷹，冬日會獵輔翼成權，富則聲名豪邁，貴則威壓百僚。）

The bird flying on the back of the dragon will surely gain authority in fame and fortune. (When Jiachen transforms into a great鹏, Wuchen transforms into a horned hawk, and Gengchen transforms into a golden phoenix, if the bird falls into these palaces or if the fortune or time period reaches these positions, gentlemen will attain official positions, and common people will gain wealth.) When the horse and the dog meet in the palace of Taibai, one will achieve prosperity throughout life. (Taibai is Jiwei. If the main star 'Star Mansion Horse', the body and destiny star, or 'Lou Jin Gou' (Dog of the Lou) are all located in this palace, and if one is born in winter, Jiwei transforms into a horned eagle. In winter, the eagle hunts, and the eagle and dog support each other to form power and authority. Wealth brings great fame, and nobility brings dominance over all officials.)

龍虎蛟蛇王母殿，際會風雲。 （甲午也。龍洎此宮，謂之龍冷月殿。虎洎此宮，化獅子。二星同此，謂之風雲際會，貴不可言。） 狐疑申所，而有定損當橫死。 （申，庚申也，化天陣，又化網線。庚戌也，獵犬。更是冬日生，運限流星值此，定主非橫刑憲中死。）

Dragons, tigers, jiao, and snakes gathering in the Queen Mother's Hall signify the appearance of great talents and opportunities. (The Queen Mother's Hall corresponds to Jiawu. When a dragon falls into this palace, it is called 'Dragon Cold Moon Hall'; when a tiger falls into this palace, it transforms into a lion. When these two stars are together, it is called the meeting of风云 (wind and clouds), indicating great wealth and status.) Foxes in the position of Gengshen are uncertain and fearful; once there is any injury, they will die suddenly. (Gengshen corresponds to the position of Shen, which transforms into a heavenly array and also into a snare. Gengxu represents a hunting dog. Moreover, if born in winter, with the destiny of a falling star at this position, they will certainly die suddenly due to legal punishment.)

奎恐寅鄉，而遇丙必致貧寒。 （寅，虎豹也。丙戌火坑，狼洎此宮，運行此地，其人貧寒徹骨。） 涸水蛟龍，遇深淵而喜躍。 （丁丑、丙寅、丁巳、丁未、丁酉，皆是旱涸之地。如宮分洎此，皆是不利，平生蹭蹬不已。若運行至壬子、壬辰、癸酉、壬戌、癸亥之地，主見發達。）

The "Kui Mu Lang" fears the寅 (Bingyin) territory; if it also meets 丙 (Bing), poverty and hardship will surely follow. (寅 is the territory of tigers and leopards, and 丙戌 is a fire pit. When the wolf is in this palace and the person's fortune moves to this place, he will be extremely poor. ) A dragon in dry water delights in encountering a deep abyss. (Dingchou, Bingyin, Dingsi, Dingwei, and Dingyou are all dry and parched territories. If the palace falls into these patterns, it is unfavorable throughout life, with continuous difficulties; only when the fortune reaches Renzi, Renchen, Guiyou, Renxu, and Guihai, which are water territories, will success be seen.)

傷弓烏雉，見曲木以驚飛。 （甲申、丙戌為弓箭。烏雉洎此宮，主一生困蹇，驚怖不寧。大運再見甲辰、乙未、甲戌、乙未，謂之曲木，雖得化亦主驚惶。） 狐入虎群，身被刑傷，因疑而致。 （虎群，丙寅、壬寅也。狐性多疑。秋冬夜生，運至此地，或小限流星見之，必主災，日生猶可。）

The bird and the pheasant that have been wounded by bows and arrows will also take flight upon seeing bent trees. (Jiashen and Bingxu represent bows and arrows. If the bird or pheasant falls into this palace, it indicates a life of hardship and constant fear; if during a major period, Jiachen, Yiwei, or Jiaxu appear again, this is called curved wood, resembling bows and crossbows. Although there may be transformation, it still brings fear and anxiety.) A fox entering a tiger's group suffers bodily injuries due to suspicion. (The tiger's group refers to Bingyin and RENYIN. Foxes are naturally suspicious. If they are born in autumn or winter and move into this palace, or if the small limit of a meteor appears, disaster is certain; if they are born during the day, the situation is somewhat better.)

兔逢鷹窟，命主自縊，緣狡而然。 （兔所畏者鷹犬也。若洎在田野之宮，更是秋日生，運限流星值此，自縊而死。） 猿猴身命以同宮，情戀巫山之雲雨。 （猿猴，耍戲之禽獸。身命得此二星同宮，在黑道花柳之地。其人平生酒色荒淫，猶襄王之戀神女也。女人犯此，即娼妓也。）

A rabbit encountering an eagle's nest leads to a fate of self-inflicted death, due to excessive cunning. (The rabbit fears the eagle and the dog. If it falls into the field palace, and is born in autumn, with the influence of the star during its destiny period, it will result in self-inflicted death.) Monkeys and apes in the same palace as the body and life stars are entangled in the pleasures of Wushan clouds and rain. (Monkeys and apes are playful animals. If the body and life stars are in the same palace as these two stars, and they are in the Black Path area related to pleasure and indulgence, the person will indulge in wine and women throughout their life, like King Xiang of Chu's obsession with the divine woman. For women, this indicates a life as a prostitute.)

雞雉命胎而雙合，心函湘浦之風塵。 （雞雉，陽禽也。胎命同宮，若洎在丙寅、癸卯、己未、丙辰、丁酉、之地，則主夫婦分飛，猶堯女之相舜也。） 羊有跪乳之恩，須防虎豹。 （羊羔跪母而食乳，以其有孝之情。所畏者虎豹也。）

The chicken and the pheasant, both yang birds, when their destiny and fetal stars are in the same palace, indicate a mind filled with thoughts of the winds and dust of Xiangpu. If they fall into the positions of Bingyin, Guimao, Jiwei, Bingchen, or Dingyou, it signifies separation between husband and wife, like the constant parting and reunion of Yao's two daughters married to Shun. The sheep, with the sentiment of kneeling to nurse and repaying kindness, should still be cautious of tigers and leopards. The young sheep kneels to drink its mother's milk, showing filial piety; yet it fears tigers and leopards.

犴存懷奸之弊，尤怕貉狐。 （犴性多奸而不正，喜與虎豹同行，怒則食之。然尤畏狐狢狸。） 尾虎怕逢重奸，須防客死於浮萍。 （己未，犴宮也。虎怕此宮，若運限流年再見乙未，主客死。何以然？蓋未乃四野之地。）

The "Well Wood Dog" is characterized by deceit and is especially afraid of raccoon dogs and foxes. (The nature of the Dog is often deceitful and tends to travel with tigers and leopards; when it is angry, it even eats them. However, it is most afraid of foxes, raccoon dogs, and cats.) The "Tail Fire Tiger" should be cautious of repeated deceit, as it may lead to death away from home on a drifting boat. (Jiwei is the Dog's palace, and the tiger fears this palace; if the destiny, years, or life cycle again meet Yiwei, it indicates death away from home. Why? Because Wei is the land of the four directions, and the tiger loses its mountain and forest support.)

畢烏若見雙鷹，每見災傷於脊股。 （己未，角鷹也。宮分洎此，歲運再見，則主瘤腿折腰，殘疾之人。何以烏見而傷命？以其皆是飛禽，但傷損也。） 龍得風雲登雨露，為人清正靈椿。 （壬辰、癸巳、壬子為雲水。甲辰、乙巳為風。龍洎此宮分，更在三春九夏，其人富貴雙全，聲名顯赫，博施濟眾，仗義疏財。）

The "Bi Yue Wu" divination suggests that if a double eagle is seen, common injuries are likely to occur on the spine, legs, and thighs. (Jiwei is the angle eagle. If this position falls into the palace, and if it coincides with the age or year, it indicates tumors, broken legs, and disability. Why does the crow (Wu) meet the eagle (Ji) and suffer harm? Because both are flying creatures; competition among similar beings leads to mutual harm.) The dragon gains power through wind and clouds, attaining a position of rain and dew, and becomes a person as clear and upright as a magical ginkgo tree, living a long and prosperous life. (Renchen, Guisi, and Renzi are cloud and water; Jiachen and Yisi are wind. If the dragon falls into these palace positions and occurs during spring and summer, the person will achieve wealth and honor, have a prominent reputation, and be generous and charitable.)

鼠乘黑道人天倉，有子名傳丹桂。 （黑道天倉，壬子、癸未、癸酉、壬申也。鼠能聚食，以其有蓄積之謀，故有子孫貴盛。） 林深豹隱，木命人喜見冬寒。 （乙卯，正林也。冬來豹正有威，乘霧而變虎，木命人最好。）

A rat entering the Heavenly Granary along the Black Path indicates that there are descendants who can achieve fame and renown. (The Black Path and Heavenly Granary refer to Renzi, Guiwei, Guiyou, and Renshen. The rat is capable of gathering food and has plans for storage, hence the descendants will be prosperous. The original text mistakenly wrote 'person' instead of 'enter,' and this is recorded as is.) Deep forests where leopards hide are favorable for people with a wood destiny, especially in winter. (Yimao represents the dense forest. When winter comes, the leopard is at its most powerful, able to transform into a tiger through mist, which is most favorable for those with a wood destiny.)

山鬱虎飛，土生者利逢秋夜。 （甲寅，正山也。鬱，茂盛。秋來虎得地。土命人夜生，威權。） 蛇化成龍，而逢乙亥風雷，百戰之功。 （蛇洎壬辰等宮，運癸巳、癸亥，更得春夏生，歲君再見乙卯、癸卯之類，此謂之風雷助力，則主其人功名垂手，名振乾坤，富則錢蓄萬緡，堆金積玉。）

The mountains are lush and dense, with tigers leaping among them; people with earth destiny benefit from encountering autumn nights. (Jia Yin is the main mountain, and "yù" means flourishing. When autumn comes, the tiger gains strength; people born at night with earth destiny are destined to hold authority.) A snake transforming into a dragon, encountering the wind and thunder of Yihai, can achieve great military achievements. (When a snake is in the palace of Renchen, and the person's fortune moves to Guisi or Guihai, and they are born in spring or summer, and the year of birth coincides with Yimao or Guimao, this is called wind and thunder assistance. Such people can easily attain fame and success, shaking the heavens and earth; they will be wealthy, accumulating thousands of strings of coins, piling up gold and jade.)

犴變作鯨，而入寅辰江海，十分之勇。 （乙巳化鯨。大運行丙寅、庚寅、甲辰、庚辰、壬辰，歲君再見壬子、壬午、壬戌、癸亥，則主威權顯赫，名振華夷。） 斗牛朝地闕，夜生則富貴軒昂。 （地闕，乙丑也，獬之廟。牛洎此宮化獬豸，此言主命星是也。牛二宿同宮，如秋夜生，則主富而秀氣，貴則安榮。）

The constellation Jingmu An transforms into a whale, entering the rivers and seas of Yin and Chen, thereby possessing great strength. (Yisi transforms into a whale. When the great movement reaches Bingyin, Gengyin, Jiachen, Gengchen, and Renchen, and the sovereign year coincides again with Renzi, Renwu, Renxu, and Guihai, it indicates a display of authority and renown, shaking the whole realm of Huaxia and Yidi.) The constellation Doumu Xie and Niu Jin Niu face the earthly palace, and if born at night, they will be prosperous and noble. (The earthly palace refers to Yichou, which is the native temple of Xie. Niu falls into this palace and transforms into Xiezhizhi, referring here to the ruling star and the life star. The constellations Dou and Niu are in the same palace; if born in autumn night, wealth will be refined and noble status will be secure and prosperous.)

牛女會星橋宵誕，則夫妻榮慶。 （星橋，甲子、丙子、戊子、壬戌、辛亥也。牛女同此宮分，要在七月上旬夜生者，主夫榮妻貴。） 雷轟宇宙，金龍震躍雷門。 （宇宙，辛卯也。龍在春生，運行辛卯，歲君或見乙卯、癸卯之類，其年平步青雲，魁名黃甲。）

The couple "Niu Jin Niu" and "Nu Tu Fu" meet at the Star Bridge and are born at night, bringing honor and celebration to the couple. (The Star Bridge refers to Jiazi, Bingzi, Wuzi, Renxu, and Xinhai. Niu and Nu are in these palace positions, and if they are born in the first ten days of the seventh lunar month at night, it signifies the husband's honor and the wife's high status—this is in harmony with the meaning of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl meeting at the Magpie Bridge on the seventh night of the seventh lunar month.) Thunder resounds throughout the universe, and the golden dragon leaps at the Thunder Gate. (The universe refers to Xinmao. Dragons are born in spring, and their movement is associated with Xinmao. If the Tai Sui (celestial stem) also appears with Yimao or Guimao in the same year, that year will bring sudden success, and the person will achieve a high rank in the imperial examination.)

日照乾坤，月烏飛昇日殿。 （乾坤，丙午也，乃天地之正位。日殿，甲午也。烏洎此宮，化丹鳳朝陽。得秋日生者，主人調和鼎鼐，澤及生民。） 烏有彈鷹之峻，雉亦疑乎。 （丙申、丙戌、庚午，弓箭。癸卯，暗彈。己未，角鷹。辛未，金雕。烏雉，秋冬日同忌。）

The sun illuminates Heaven and Earth, and the crow soars upward from the sun's palace. (Heaven and Earth refer to Bingwu, which is the central position of the heavens and earth; the sun's palace refers to Jiawu. The crow falling into this palace transforms into a red phoenix facing the rising sun; those born on a autumn day are capable of harmonizing the state's affairs and bestowing benefits upon the people.) However, the crow faces dangers from being shot by bows and arrows and eagles. Should the pheasant not be suspicious? (Bingshen, Bingxu, and Gengwu represent bows and arrows, Guimao represents hidden shots, Jiwei represents the horned eagle, and Xinwei represents the golden eagle. Both the crow and the pheasant born in autumn and winter during daylight should be cautious.)

獐有犯虎之憂，鹿亦怕也。 （乙未，犴也。丙寅，虎也。獐鹿不宜此宮，或流星見之亦可。春日生則不忌。） 白虎嘯而西風起，早躍高科。 （白虎，西方之象。庚申，金之體也。宮得旺地，秋冬夜生，運限流星若值庚申，必定發達非常。）

Deer have worries of offending the tiger, and the elk is also afraid. (Yiwei represents the犴, and Bingyin represents the tiger. Deer and elk should not be in these two positions, or if they appear with a meteor, it is also unfavorable; only those born in spring during the day are not subject to this taboo.) The white tiger roars and a sudden west wind arises, leading to success in high academic ranks early in life. (The white tiger represents the western direction, and Gengshen is the essence of metal. If the position is strong and the person is born in autumn or winter at night, and during their fate or life span they encounter Gengshen as a meteor, they will certainly achieve great success.)

青龍躍而北海傾，少登黃甲。 （青龍，東方木象。北海，壬子、癸亥。蛟龍滄海之物，得水飛昇，再得風雷助之，何憂發達。） 貉兔如逢豹犬，抱膝長吟。 （庚寅，豹也。庚戌，犬也。貉兔二星靈性之物，乃是暗禽，宮分若洎豹犬之地，其人孤寒偃蹇，困苦不安。）

The Azure Dragon rises and the northern sea surges, allowing one to achieve the top rank in the imperial examination at a young age. (The Azure Dragon represents the eastern wood element, while the northern sea corresponds to Renzi and Guihai. A dragon is originally from the vast sea; with water it can rise and ascend. With the aid of wind and thunder, how could one fail to prosper?) If the貉 and兔 meet the豹 and犬, they can only sit with folded legs and sigh in despair. (Gengyin is the豹, and Gengxu is the犬. The貉 and兔 stars are both creatures with spirit, belonging to the category of hidden birds. If their palace positions fall in the areas of豹 and犬, the person will be lonely, poor, and restless.)

豬羊若遇刀砧，忍飢待死。 （刀砧，庚申、辛酉也。二星所畏者，刀砧也。猶怕天壇。若宮分不得地，運限歲君犯此，輕則不測災傷，重則法亡惡死。） 龍鼠互臨於巽地，朝隨肥馬之塵。 （龍洎巳宮退化蛇，鼠化病鼠，況龍亦畏鼠鑽鼻，若更失時，定是驢前馬後隸卒之人。）

Pigs and sheep, if they encounter the knife and chopping block, can only endure hunger and await death. (The knife and chopping block refer to Gengshen and Xinyou. These two stars fear the knife and chopping block, and also fear the heavenly altar where worship takes place. If the palace position is not favorable, and the current year's ruler also commits this offense, minor cases may result in unforeseen injuries, while severe cases may lead to a cruel death.) Dragons and rats, if they both appear in the Xun position, can only follow the dust raised by a fat horse. (When a dragon falls into the Si palace, it degenerates into a snake, and the rat transforms into a sick rat; moreover, dragons inherently fear rats digging into their noses. If they also lose the proper time, they are destined to be subordinate officials who follow horses and oxen.)

牛馬交駁於艮宮，暮蓋漁翁之網。 （牛馬洎寅宮，與虎鬥戰，皆不得地，則主無衣食所。蓋網者，言其飢寒切身也。）

Cattle and horses are entangled in the Gen palace, and in old age they can only be caught in the net of the old fisherman. (Cattle and horses falling in the Yin palace must fight with the tiger, but they are not in a favorable position, indicating lack of clothing and food. The term 'cover net' refers to the situation where hunger and cold are pressing, and one can only use a broken net to cover the body.)

禽落空亡之地，囊無挑菜之資。 （空亡即十干空亡，破祖空亡也。胎禽泊此宮分，其人貧必徹骨，言其賣菜而無資本也。） 宿居大耗之鄉，瓶乏通觴之粟。 （大耗煞，即鼠忌羊頭，牛值馬不耕之類是也。主星犯此，亦是伶仃孤苦，欲沽一瓶之酒而無錢也。）

If the禽 falls in an empty and wasteland, it has not even enough money to buy vegetables. (Empty and wasteland refers to the ten heavenly stems' empty and wasteland and the ancestral destruction empty and wasteland. If the胎禽 falls in such a palace, the person will certainly be extremely poor. He wants to sell vegetables for a living but even cannot afford the capital.) If the star mansion is located in the area of great loss, the jar lacks the millet to exchange for wine. (The great loss evil star refers to the rat avoiding the sheep head, the ox meeting the horse but cannot plow, which is the type of six harmful influences. If the main star is afflicted by it, it will also be lonely and destitute, wanting to buy a bottle of wine but having no money. )

鹿逢六害之地，夜住曉行。 （六害，丙寅、壬寅也。鹿洎此二宮，秋冬夜生必夭壽，夏春日生則六親冰炭，子息艱難。夜住曉行，言尋衣祿奔波也。） 馬入空耗之鄉，披蓑待雨。 （空即空亡，耗即大耗。馬洎此宮分，終身潦倒田園，不見榮華發達也。披蓑待雨，言莊農而已。）

A deer encountering the six harmful positions will rest at night and set out at dawn. The six harmful positions are Bingyin and Renyin. If a deer is in these two positions and is born in autumn or winter, it will certainly have a short lifespan. If born in spring or summer, its six relations will be like ice and charcoal that cannot coexist, making it difficult to have children. The phrase "rest at night and set out at dawn" means constantly working for food and clothing. A horse entering the empty and great loss positions can only wear a straw cloak and wait for the rain. Empty refers to empty亡, and loss refers to great loss. If a horse is in such positions, it will live a poor life in the fields all its life, never experiencing prosperity. The phrase "wear a straw cloak and wait for the rain" means it can only be a farmer.

獐馬聚臨於花市，送舊迎新。 （花市，乙卯、乙酉也。獐乃無知之物，好邪行。二宿洎宮分同化，更是春夜生，男子迷花戀酒，女人定是娼妓。若不在春夜者，定是師尼婢妾之屬。） 鹿猿會集於柳牆，偎香倚玉。 （同上二星斷。）

Deer and monkey gathering at the willow wall, leaning on fragrant scents and relying on jade. (This interpretation is the same as the previous one regarding the two stars.)

貐臨本廟金帳，飲羊羔之貴。 （癸亥，貐廟也。輸洎此宮，須要夏春生，更看五星不相剋戰，主人富貴雙全，聲名顯赫。） 狼行寶殿玉階，被袍笏之榮。 （寶殿，甲午，狼洎此宮化獅子。要在秋夜生貴。狼性毒更得化道高強，則主武職兵權之任。）

The Bi water leopard resides in its native palace, indicating the ability to enjoy the luxury of fine wine and lambs. (Guihai is the native palace of the leopard. When the leopard is in this palace, it is favorable for those born in spring or summer, and if the five stars do not conflict, the person will be both wealthy and noble, with great fame. ) The Qiu wood wolf moves upon the jade steps of the palace, bringing honor of wearing robes and holding a scepter. (The palace refers to Jiawu. When the wolf is in this palace, it transforms into a lion. It is favorable for those born in autumn at night. The wolf is fierce and cruel; if it is further supported by strong transformations, it indicates a position of military power and authority.)
