天相入廟文武皆宜食祿千鍾,陷地成敗,紫微同權貴,昌曲左右同權顯榮貴,武曲同邊夷之職,廉貞同崢嶸權貴,加羊陀火鈴空劫有貶謫。天梁廟午會左右魁鉞,文武之材,天同同權貴不小,天機同崢嶸貴顯,加羊陀火鈴空劫平。七殺廟旺武職崢嶸權貴非小,不宜文人,武曲同權貴,廉貞同功名顯達。

The star Tian Xiang in a favorable palace (official position) is suitable for both literary and military careers, with abundant salary and benefits; if it falls in an unfavorable palace, success and failure are uncertain. When it is with Zǐwēi, it indicates authority and high status. When it is with Wen Chang, Wen Qu, Zuo Fu, and You Bi, it brings great power and prestige. When it is with Wu Qu, it is suitable for border posts. When it is with Lian Zhen, it indicates outstanding ability and authority. If it is combined with Qíng Yáng, Tuó Luó, Huǒ Xīng, Ling Xing, Di Kōng, and Di Jié, there may be demotions or loss of position. Tian Liang in a strong and favorable palace (such as the午宫) combined with Zuo Fu, You Bi, Tian Kuí, and Tian Yuè indicates a person skilled in both civil and military affairs. When it is with Tian Tong, it brings considerable power and status. When it is with Tian Ji, it indicates outstanding ability and high prestige. If it is combined with Qíng Yáng, Tuó Luó, Huǒ Xīng, Ling Xing, Di Kōng, and Di Jié, it is only average. Qi Sha in a strong and favorable palace indicates outstanding ability in military positions and considerable authority, but it is not suitable for literary careers. When it is with Wu Qu, it indicates authority and high status. When it is with Lian Zhen, it brings fame and achievement.

破軍廟旺武職軒勝,武曲同加權祿,文昌文曲顯達,加羊陀火鈴平常,紫微同宮名振揚,廉貞同文人不耐久,胥吏最美。文昌入廟太陽同加吉科權祿,文武之材,同天府文曲富貴雙全。文曲廟旺文武皆宜,陷宮與天機太陰同宮,胥吏權貴,會紫府左右近君頻而執政,加羊陀火鈴空劫平常。

When the star Expenditure star and vanguard star is in a strong and favorable position, it indicates a commanding presence in military roles. If it is in the same palace as Wealth star and general star, and also has the aspects of 化权 and 化禄, or is accompanied by Star of examinations and documents and Star of talent and eloquence, it signifies great success and prominence. If it is joined by Malefic of injury, Malefic of delay and entanglement, Malefic of violence, and Hidden-fire malefic, it is considered ordinary. When it is in the same palace as The Emperor star, its fame spreads far and wide. When it is in the same palace as 廉贞, it is not suitable for a literary career, but is best suited for a bureaucratic position. When Star of examinations and documents is in a strong and favorable position and is in the same palace as Star of brightness and prestige, and is further joined by auspicious stars and aspects of 化科, 化权, and 化禄, it indicates a person who is both talented in literature and capable in military affairs. If it is joined by Treasury star and command star and Star of talent and eloquence, it brings both wealth and prestige. When Star of talent and eloquence is in a strong and favorable position, it is suitable for both literary and military pursuits. If it is in a weak position and is in the same palace as Star of wisdom and adaptability and Wealth star and mother star, it can lead to a bureaucratic position with power and status. If it is joined by The Emperor star, Treasury star and command star, Auxiliary auspicious star, and Auxiliary auspicious star, it allows one to be close to the sovereign and to hold government affairs. If it is joined by Malefic of injury, Malefic of delay and entanglement, Malefic of violence, Hidden-fire malefic, Void malefic, and Plunder malefic, it is considered ordinary.

左輔入廟文武之材,武職最旺,不利文人,會吉星身中清,文武皆良,見羊陀火鈴空劫進退聲名。右弼宜居武職,不和文人,與紫府昌曲同,財官雙美,陷宮成敗有貶謫,見美陀火鈴空劫亦有黜降。祿存會吉文武皆良,財官雙美,子孫爵秩,諸宮為美。擎羊入廟最利武職,同吉星權貴,陷地平常,虛名而已。陀羅獨守平常,加吉星亦虛名而已。火星晚年功名遂心,早年成敗,會紫微貪狼吉,陷地不美。鈴星獨守旺宮吉,陷地不美,加諸吉星權貴。斗君遇吉其年月財官旺,逢凶忌財官不顯達,有勞祿奔波。

Left Auxiliary Star in a favorable palace guarding the official position palace indicates a person who is both learned and martial, especially thriving in military positions, but not favorable for scholars; if it joins auspicious stars, the person will have a clean and upright background, and be good at both literary and martial paths; if it meets malefic stars such as Qingyang, Tuoluo, Huoxing, Lingxing, Di Kong, and Di Jie, the person's reputation will fluctuate. Right Auxiliary Star is suitable for military positions and not suitable for scholars; when it is in the same palace as Ziwēi, Tufu, Wenwang, and Wenqu, both wealth and official positions will be favorable; if it is in a declining palace, success and failure are uncertain, and there may be demotions; if it meets malefic stars such as Tuoluo, Huoxing, Lingxing, Di Kong, and Di Jie, the person may also be dismissed or demoted.Wealth-salary star joining auspicious stars is favorable for both literary and martial paths, wealth and official positions are both good, and even descendants may have titles and ranks; sitting in any palace is considered harmonious. Qingyang in a favorable palace is most beneficial for military positions, and when joined with auspicious stars, it can lead to noble favor; if it is in a declining palace, it is only average, and only brings empty fame. Tuoluo alone in a palace is only average, and even with auspicious stars, it is still empty fame. Huoxing guarding the official position palace brings late success and reputation, but early life is full of ups and downs; if it joins Ziwēi and Tanlang, it is favorable; if it is in a declining palace, it is not favorable. Lingxing alone in a favorable palace is favorable, but in a declining palace it is not favorable; if it joins many auspicious stars, it can lead to noble favor. The斗君 star passing through the official position palace with auspicious stars brings prosperity in both wealth and official positions for that year and month; if it meets凶星 and化忌, wealth and official positions will not be prominent, and the person will have to work hard and be restless.

定公卿:輔弼星纏帝座中,高官三品入朝中,空亡惡曜三方見,指是虛名受蔭封。定兩官府:昌曲二曜最難逢,建節封侯笑語中,若然凶殺來臨破,須然好處也成凶。

A mnemonic for determining whether one can attain high official rank: When the Left Auxiliary and Right Auxiliary stars surround the Emperor star, one may attain a high official position of third rank and serve in court; if the three directions contain Kongwang and malevolent stars, then it is merely an empty reputation and inheritance of ancestral favor. A mnemonic for determining positions in the two ministries: The stars of Examination and Documents and Talent and Eloquence are the most difficult to encounter. Once encountered, one can easily hold a banner as a general, be granted a marquis title, and receive a noble rank; but if malevolent stars come to break them, even good fortune will turn into danger.

定文官:文官昌曲掛朝衣,官祿之中喜有之,紫相更兼權祿至,定居風憲肅朝儀。定武官:將軍武曜最為良,帝座權衡在祿鄉,輔弼二星兼拱照,金章玉帶佐皇王。

The rhyme for determining officials of the civil service: Civil officials can wear ceremonial robes because of the stars of examination and documents (Wen Chang) and the star of talent and eloquence (Wen Qu). The official's palace most favors these two stars. If there are also the Emperor star (Zi Wei) and the Seal star (Tian Xiang) along with the power and wealth stars, they will certainly hold a position in the Imperial Inspection Office, maintaining court discipline and order. The rhyme for determining officials of the military service: A general's fate is best with the Wealth and General star (Wu Qu) and other martial stars. The Emperor's seat and the stars that govern authority should be in the official's palace. If there are also the two auxiliary auspicious stars (Zuo Fu and You Bi) shining together, they can wear the golden seal and the jade belt, assisting the emperor.

定曹吏:太陽化官在陽宮,更有光輝使不凶,若逢紫府兼左右,一生曹吏逞英雄。

The rhyme for determining the official star of a government clerk: When the Star of Brightness and Prestige transforms into an official star and is located in a yang palace, its radiance is sufficient, thus avoiding misfortune; if further accompanied by the Emperor star, Treasury star, and both Auxiliary Auspicious stars, although this person is merely a clerk in the government office, he can still display his talents and dominate for a time.

Shi-ta House

紫微茂盛自置旺相,加羊陀火鈴空劫,有置有去,破軍同退祖,天相同有見成家業,得左右昌曲。天機退祖新創置,巨門同在卯宮有田莊,在酉宮不守祖業,先大後小,天梁同有置晚年富,太陰同自置旺相。

When the Emperor star is in the Field and Residence宫, the property and land are prosperous, and one can purchase property on their own and it will flourish. If the Emperor star is joined by the malefic stars of injury, delay and entanglement, violence, hidden-fire malefic, void malefic, and plunder malefic, there will be both purchases and sales. If the Emperor star is in the same宫 as the Expenditure star, ancestral property will be lost. If the Emperor star is in the same宫 as the Heaven star, there will be existing family businesses to inherit, especially when assisted by the auxiliary auspicious stars, the Star of Examinations and Documents, and the Star of Talent and Eloquence. When the Star of Wisdom and Adaptability is in the Field and Residence宫, ancestral property will be lost and new property will be established. If the Star of Wisdom and Adaptability is in the same宫 as the Dark star and sits in theMao Palace, there will be a farm or estate. If it sits in theYou Palace, ancestral property will not be maintained, and the family business will first be large and then diminish. If the Star of Wisdom and Adaptability is in the same宫 as the Shelter star, one can purchase property on their own and will be wealthy in old age. If the Star of Wisdom and Adaptability is in the same宫 as the Wealth star and Mother star, the self-purchased land will flourish.

太陽入廟得祖業,初旺未平,太陰同加吉星田多,巨門同在寅宮旺盛,在申宮退祖,不為無田產,陷地逢羊陀火鈴空劫全無。武曲單居旺地,得祖父大業,陷地退後方成,破軍大耗同破蕩家產,有也不耐久,天相同先見破後方有,七殺同心不欲,天府同守見成家業,貪狼同晚置,見火鈴星同極美,田產茂盛,同空劫有進有退。

The Sun Star in its exalted position in the Field and Residence宫 brings inheritance from ancestors, initially prosperous but later average. If the Sun Star is in the same宫 as the Too Yin Star along with auspicious stars, there will be abundant land and property. If the Sun Star is in the same宫 as the Ju Men Star, and sits in theYin Palace, there will be flourishing land and property, but if it sits in theShen Palace, ancestral property will decline, though not entirely lost. If the Sun Star is in a declining position and meets the Qing Yang, Duo Luo, Fire Star, Ling Xing, Di Kong, and Di Jie stars, there will be nothing at all. The Wu Qu Star alone in a strong position can inherit large estates from grandfather; if it is in a declining position, there will first be loss and then success. If the Wu Qu Star is in the same宫 as the Po Jun and Da Hao stars, the family property will be ruined, and even if there is some, it will not last long. If the Wu Qu Star is in the same宫 as the Tian Xiang Star, there will first be loss and then recovery. If the Wu Qu Star is in the same宫 as the Qi Sha Star, one does not value land and property much. If the Wu Qu Star is in the same宫 as the Tian Fu Star, one can preserve existing property. If the Wu Qu Star is in the same宫 as the Tan Lang Star, one will acquire property later in life. If the Fire Star and Ling Xing stars are present, the land and property will be very prosperous. If the Di Kong and Di Jie stars are present, there will be both gains and losses in property.

天同先少後多,自置甚旺,巨門同田少,太陰同入廟大富,天梁同先退後進,加羊陀火鈴空忌全無。廉貞破祖,貪狼同有祖業,不耐久,七殺同自置,天府同守見成家業,天相同先無後有。天府田園茂盛,守祖自置旺相,紫微同大富,廉貞武曲同守祖業榮昌,見羊陀火鈴空劫更少,有成敗。

When Tian Tong is in the Field and Residence宫, the property starts off scarce but becomes abundant later, and self-acquired property thrives; if it is in the same宫 as Ju Men, the property is scarce; if it is in the same宫 as Tai Yin, it is in a favorable position, indicating great wealth; if it is in the same宫 as Tian Liang, there is first a loss then a gain; if it is combined with Qing Yang, Duo Luo, Fire Star, Ling Xing, Di Kong, and Huo Zhi, there will be no property at all. When Lian Zhen is in the Field and Residence宫, the ancestral property is ruined; if it is in the same宫 as Tan Lang, although there is ancestral property, it cannot last long; if it is in the same宫 as Qi Sha, one relies on self-acquired property; if it is in the same宫 as Tian Fu, one can maintain the existing family property; if it is in the same宫 as Tian Tong, there is first nothing then something. When Tian Fu is in the Field and Residence宫, the fields and residences are flourishing, capable of maintaining ancestral property and acquiring one's own property which thrives; if it is in the same宫 as Zi Wei, it indicates great wealth; if it is in the same宫 as Lian Zhen and Wu Qu, one can maintain the ancestral property and achieve prosperity; if Qing Yang, Duo Luo, Fire Star, Ling Xing, Di Kong, and Di Jie are present, the property will be even less, with both success and failure.

太陰入廟田多,陷地加忌及羊陀火鈴空劫田全無,天機同自創置,天同同白手自置,同左右權祿及祿存主多田產。貪狼陷宮退祖一世田少,廟旺有祖業,也去中未自有置,廉貞同無分,紫微同有祖業,武曲同晚置,見火鈴星守祖業,有自創,但恐火焚屋宅。

The star Tai Yin in a favorable position in the field and property宫 indicates numerous properties and land holdings. If it falls in an unfavorable position along with the transformation of忌 and the stars Qing Yang, Duo Luo, Huo Xing, Ling Xing, Di Kong, and Di Jie, then there will be no property or land. If it is in the same宫 as Tian Ji, one must create property and land by oneself. If it is in the same宫 as Tian Tong, one must start from scratch. If it is accompanied by Zuo Fu, You Bi, and the transformations of Quan, Lu, and Lu Cun, it indicates numerous properties and land. If Gan Wang falls in an unfavorable position, it indicates loss of ancestral property and very little property and land throughout one's life. If it is in a favorable position, although there may be ancestral property, some must be given up first, and one can acquire property and land by oneself in middle age. If it is in the same宫 as Lian Zhen, one has no connection with property and land. If it is in the same宫 as Zi Wei, there is ancestral property. If it is in the same宫 as Wu Qu, property and land are acquired in old age. If Huo Xing and Ling Xing are present, one can maintain ancestral property and create property and land by oneself, but there is a risk of fire damaging the house.

巨門廟旺橫發置買,陷地無分,因田產招非,太陽同先無後有,加羊陀火鈴空劫田宅全無。天相廟旺有分,紫微同自置,武曲同無分,廉貞加羊陀火鈴空劫飄零祖業。天梁入廟旺有祖業,天同同先難後易,天機同不見羊陀火鈴空劫,終有田宅。破軍在子午宮守祖業榮昌,但見有進退,加羊陀火鈴退祖田少,紫微同有見成家業,廉貞同先破後有置,耗忌全無。

文昌會諸吉田園廣置,加羊陀火鈴空劫敗祖。文曲旺地有分,守祖業,加吉星自置,同羊陀火鈴空劫湊有進有退。左輔有祖業,加羊陀火鈴空劫退祖,田地少,會吉星多。祿存田園多旺自置,會吉星承祖業榮昌,加羊陀火鈴空劫田宅少。擎羊入廟先破後成,陷地加空劫退祖業。陀羅退祖辛勤度日,加吉星先無後有,加空劫全無。火星獨守,退祖業,會吉星先無後有,加空劫全無。鈴星退祖,入廟加吉星自有置,見空劫全無。斗君過度遇吉星其年田產倍進,逢凶殺忌耗退敗。

The Malefic of Violence indicates lack of peace and hard labor; if it combines with auspicious stars, it brings success in old age. The Hidden-fire Malefic indicates hardship; if it combines with auspicious stars, it brings peace; if it sits alone, it still brings hard work. When the Star of Examinations and Documents passes through the Fortune Virtue宫 and meets auspicious stars, the year is peaceful; if it meets malefic stars, it brings unrest. When the current year's Tai Sui and the major and minor limits pass through this宫, meeting auspicious stars brings happiness, while meeting malefic stars brings hard labor and toil.

Twelve Parents

凡看父母以太陽星為父,太陰星為母。太陽在陷宮主先克父,太陰星在陷宮主先克母。如二星具在陷地,只以人之本生時,日生者主父存,夜生者主母在。若夜生者太陰星主母存,反背不明主母先克。

When examining the parents' sector, the Star of Brightness and Prestige represents the father, and the Wealth Star and Mother Star represents the mother. If the Star of Brightness and Prestige falls in an adverse position, it indicates the father's early death. If the Wealth Star and Mother Star falls in an adverse position, it indicates the mother's early death. If both stars are in adverse positions, then the time of birth is used to determine: those born during the day indicate the father is still alive, while those born at night indicate the mother is still alive. For those born at night, the Wealth Star and Mother Star signifies the mother is still alive; if the Wealth Star and Mother Star is reversed, out of place, or lacks brightness, it indicates the mother's early death.

日生時者主父在,反背暗晦主父先克。余試之屢驗矣,學者宜細心識之。先有本宮某星主刑剋,又加惡殺的以刑剋斷之,據理參詳,在乎人之自悟耳。

For those born in the daytime hours, the father is likely to be alive; if the Sun is reversed and dim, it indicates the father's death first. This rule has been verified by me many times and is very accurate. Scholars should carefully understand it. First, determine which star is governing the native's house and whether it is causing harm or conflict. If there are also evil influences, then the judgment is based on the conflict. As for the underlying principles, they depend on each person's own insight.

紫微無克,天府同亦無刑,加羊陀火鈴空劫亦克,天相同無刑,貪狼同無殺加亦無刑,破軍同早克。天機廟旺無刑,陷地逢羊陀火鈴空劫,二姓寄居,重拜父母,或過房入贅,太陰同免刑,天梁同無刑,俱要無殺,加有殺,加也不免刑傷,巨門早刑。

The Emperor star in the parents' house does not cause harm or punishment; when it is in the same palace as the Treasury star, there is no injury. If it is combined with the malefics of injury, delay and entanglement, violence, hidden-fire malefic, void malefic, and plunder malefic, there will still be punishment. When it is in the same palace as the Heaven star, there is no punishment. When it is in the same palace as the Star of romance and desire without any malefics, there is no punishment. When it is in the same palace as the Expenditure star, there will be punishment in early years. The Star of wisdom and adaptability does not cause punishment when it is in a strong or flourishing position; if it is in a weak position and combined with the malefics of injury, delay and entanglement, violence, hidden-fire malefic, void malefic, and plunder malefic, it will result in living with another family, re-baptizing another as a parent, or being adopted by another family or marrying into another family. When it is in the same palace as the Wealth star, there is no punishment; when it is in the same palace as the Shelter star, there is no punishment—these are all under the condition of no malefics. Once malefics are added, punishment is unavoidable. When it is in the same palace as the Dark star, there will be punishment in early years.

太陽入廟無克,陷地克父,加羊陀火鈴空劫克父母早,太陰同看無,羊陀湊父母全遲刑,巨門同加四殺空劫早克,天梁同無刑。武曲克早,退祖業不刑,貪狼同刑剋,七殺同有刑,天相同加羊陀火鈴空劫刑傷。

The Star of Brightness and Prestige in its exalted position in the parents' house does not cause harm; if it is in a weakened position, it will harm the father. If it is joined by the malefic of injury, the malefic of delay and entanglement, the malefic of violence, the hidden-fire malefic, the void malefic, or the plunder malefic, the harm to the parents occurs earlier. If it is in the same house as the Wealth star and mother star, it depends on whether there are malefics; if the malefic of injury and the malefic of delay and entanglement are present, the parents may be both present but there will still be some harm later. If it is in the same house as the Dark star and star of speech, and joined by the malefic of injury, the malefic of delay and entanglement, the malefic of violence, the hidden-fire malefic, the void malefic, and the plunder malefic, harm occurs in early years. If it is in the same house as the Shelter star and longevity star, there is no harm. The Wealth star and general star in the parents' house causes harm early; if the ancestral property is relinquished, there will be no harm. If it is in the same house as the Star of Romance and Desire, there is harm. If it is in the same house as the General star and star of severity, there is harm. If it is in the same house as the Seal star and star of livelihood, and joined by the malefic of injury, the malefic of delay and entanglement, the malefic of violence, the hidden-fire malefic, the void malefic, and the plunder malefic, there will also be harm.

天同獨守廟旺無刑,加四殺重拜父母,巨門同欠和,太陰同父母雙全,天梁同無刑或退祖業,加羊陀火鈴空劫父母不全。廉貞難為父母,祖重拜,貪狼同早刑,七殺孤克,天府同免刑,破軍同早刑,加羊陀火鈴空劫,父母不周全。天府父母雙全,紫微同亦無刑,廉貞武曲同,在廟旺無刑,加羊陀火鈴空劫主傷。

When Tian Tong is alone in the parents' house and in a strong and flourishing position, there are no punishments or conflicts.

When the Taiyin star is in its favorable position in the parents' house, it does not cause harm. However, if it is joined by Qingyang, Tuo Luo, Honghuo, Lingxing, then the mother will be harmed, otherwise the person may have to be adopted by another family or leave the ancestral home. If Taiyin is in the same palace as the Taiyang star without any of the four evils, then both parents are present. If Taiyin is in the same palace as Tianji without any conflicts, it is harmonious. If Taiyin is in the same palace as Tian Tong, it is very favorable. If Ganlang is in an unfavorable position, the person will leave the ancestral home early, needing to re-bow to the parents, be adopted by another family, or marry into a wife's family. If Ganlang is in the same palace as Lianzhen, there will be early conflicts and the family will be lonely. If Ganlang is in the same palace as Ziwu without any evil stars, both parents are present.
