天府入男命吉凶訣：天府之星守命宮，加之權祿喜相逢，魁昌左右來相會，附鳳攀龍上九重。火鈴羊陀三方會，為人奸詐多勞碌，空劫同垣不為佳，只宜空門享福人。

天府入女命吉凶訣：女人天府命身宮，性格聰明花樣容，更得紫微三合照，金冠霞佩受皇封。火鈴羊陀來沖會，性格庸常多蹇昧，六親相背子難招，只好空門為尼計。

天府入限吉凶訣：限臨天府能司祿，士庶逢之多發福，添財進喜永無災，且也潤身也潤屋。南斗尊星入限來，所為謀事稱心懷，若還又化科權祿，指日欣然展大材。

太陰水，南北斗化富，為母宿，又為妻星，為田宅主。太陰居命面方圓，心性溫和，清秀耿直聰明，花酒文章，博學橫立功名。身若逢之則隨娘繼拜，陷地化吉科權祿，反以凶論，出外離祖則吉。更遇羊陀火鈴，酒色邪淫，下賤夭折。

They enjoy appreciating flowers, drinking wine, composing poetry, and have broad knowledge. They can achieve unexpected success and fame. If the body palace encounters "Too Yin," it often indicates that the person followed their mother to remarry and regarded another as their father. If "Too Yin" falls into a declining position, even if it transforms into a favorable star or meets the transformations of official rank, wealth, and fortune, it should still be considered as a凶 (malevolent) star.

If "Too Yin" also meets "Qing Yang," "Tuo Luo," "Huo Xing," and "Ling Xing," the person will become addicted to alcohol, lust, and immoral behavior, leading to a lowly and short life.

最喜六壬戊生人，在亥卯未宮立命合局，乙庚戊生人居亥宮立命上格，六丁生人次之，六乙生人合格，六丁六戊生人，化科權祿吉。女命會太陽入廟，封贈夫人，若陷地傷夫克子，妾妓之流。

太陰入男命吉凶訣：太陰原是水之精，身命逢之福自生，酉戌亥垣為得地，光輝揚顯姓名亨。太陰入廟化權星，清秀聰明貴無倫，稟性溫良恭儉讓，為官清顯列朝綱。寅上機昌曲月逢，縱然吉拱不豐隆，男為僕從女為妓，加殺沖殺到老窮。太陰陷地惡星中，陀火相逢定困窮，此命只宜僧與道，空門出入得從容。

The Taiyin star is the essence of water; when it appears in the body palace or the命宫, good fortune naturally arises. When it is in the Yu, Xu, or Hai palaces, it is in a favorable position, shining brightly, and achieving fame and success. When Taiyin is in its proper place and transforms into the authority star, the person is refined and intelligent, highly respected, with a gentle, kind, respectful, frugal, and humble nature. In official positions, they are upright and successful, holding important roles in the government. However, if Taiyin appears in the寅 palace along with Tianji, Wenqiang, Wenqu, and Taiyin together, even with auspicious stars supporting, the fortune is not abundant. Men may become servants, and women may become prostitutes. If further afflicted by malevolent stars, they will remain poor in old age. When Taiyin is in an unfavorable position and surrounded by evil stars, meeting Duo Luo and Huo Xing, they will certainly face hardship and poverty. Such a destiny is suitable only for becoming a monk or a Taoist, and entering the monastic path will be more peaceful.

太陰入女命吉凶訣：月會同陽在命宮，三方吉拱必盈豐，不見凶殺來沖會，富貴雙全保到終。太陰陷在命和身，不喜三方惡殺侵，克害夫君又夭壽，更虛血氣少精神。

The presence of Taiyin, Tian Tong, and Taiyang in the命宫, along with auspicious stars supporting from all sides, indicates that the family's wealth and resources will be abundant. As long as no malevolent stars come to clash or join, prosperity and wealth will be achieved, and this good fortune can be maintained throughout life. However, if Taiyin is in a fallen position in the命宫 and also in the身宫, it is most unfavorable if there are evil stars invading from all directions. This will harm the husband, shorten one's lifespan, and cause weakness in blood and qi, as well as lack of mental energy.

太陰入限吉凶訣：太陰星曜限中逢，財祿豐盈百事通，嫁娶迎親添嗣續，常人得此旺門風。二限偏宜見太陰，添屋進財福非輕，火鈴若也來相湊，未免官災病患臨。限至太陰居反背，不喜羊陀三方會，火鈴二限最為凶，若不官災多破悔。

When encountering the star Tai Yin during a period of destiny, wealth and official rank will be abundant, and all affairs will proceed smoothly, allowing for marriage, wedding ceremonies, and the birth of children. Even common people can benefit from this star, leading to prosperity in their family. The major and minor periods are most favorable when Tai Yin is present, as they bring benefits in acquiring property and increasing wealth, with considerable good fortune. However, if the stars Hua Xing and Ling Xing also appear, one may suffer from legal troubles, disasters, and illness. When Tai Yin is in a position of being backlit and dim, it strongly dislikes the stars Qing Yang and Duo Luo appearing in the three directions. The presence of Hua Xing and Ling Xing in the major and minor periods is especially dangerous, even if legal issues do not arise, there will be much loss and regret.

貪狼屬木，化桃花殺。貪狼入廟長聳肥胖，陷宮形小聲高而量大，性格不常，心多計較，作事急速不耐靜，作巧反拙，好賭博花酒。陷地加羊陀化忌，則孤貧破相殘疾，斑痕疤痣。入廟多居武藝之中，遇火鈴喜戊己生人合局，不喜六癸生人，不耐久長。女命平常，若居陷地傷夫克子且不正，大多為娼婢，僧道亦不清潔。

In the Chou and Wei palaces, it is also in its temple, sharing the palace with Wuqu. If Mars is present, those born in the Wu, Ji, and Geng years are of noble patterns.

貪狼入男命吉凶訣：四墓宮中福氣濃，提兵指日立邊功，火星拱會誠為貴，名震諸夷定有封。貪狼守命擎羊逢，陀殺交加必困窮，武破廉貞同殺劫，百藝防身度歲終。四墓貪狼廟旺宮，加臨左右富財翁，若然再化科權祿，文武才能顯大功。

If Tianwang is in the命宫 and meets Qingyang, and Tuoluo and Qishan are combined, he will certainly face difficulties and poverty. If Wuqu, Pojun, Lianzhen, along with Qishan and Dijie are gathered together, he can only learn a few skills to survive, barely making ends meet. If Tianwang is in the four burial palaces and is in a strong position, and is further assisted by Zuo Fu and You Bi, he will become a wealthy person. If he also meets Hua Ke, Hua Quan, and Hua Lu, he can both demonstrate literary talent and military strategy, and achieve great accomplishments.

貪狼入女命吉凶訣：四墓宮中多吉利，更逢左右方為貴，祿財豐富旺夫君，性格剛強多志氣。貪狼陷地女非祥，衣食雖豐也不良，克害良人並男女，又教衾枕守孤孀。

For a woman's destiny, if the Star of Romance and Desire falls in the four墓 (burial) positions of Chen, Xu, Chou, or Wei, it tends to be favorable.

This results in abundant wealth and official rank, capable of supporting her husband, with a strong character and great ambition. However, if the Star of Romance and Desire is in a declining position, it is not a good omen for a woman. Although her clothing and food may be sufficient, it is not considered favorable. It may harm her husband and children, and she may end up alone in bed, becoming a widow.

貪狼入限吉凶訣：北斗貪狼入限來，若還入廟事和諧，科權仕路多成就，必主當年發橫財。貪狼主限四墓臨，更喜人生四墓生，若見火星多橫發，自然富貴冠鄉鄰。限至貪狼陷不良，只宜節慾息災傷，賭盪風流去財寶，吉曜三方可免災。女限貪狼事不良，宜懷六甲免災殃，若無吉曜來相會，須知一命入黃泉。

When the limit and destiny are governed by the star of romance and desire and fall into the four墓 (burial) palaces, it is even more favorable if the person's birth year is in the years of Chen, Xu, Chou, or Wei. If the malefic of violence is present, there will be sudden wealth, naturally leading to wealth and honor surpassing neighbors. However, if the limit and destiny reach the fallen position of the star of romance and desire, it is not good; one should restrain desires to calm the calamity. Gambling and indulgence, as well as frequenting places of pleasure, will exhaust wealth, but fortunately if there are auspicious stars in the three directions, the calamity can be avoided. For women, encountering the star of romance and desire in their limit and destiny is not auspicious; it is advisable to conceive and give birth to resolve the calamity. If there are no auspicious stars to illuminate, there may be a risk to life, and the person may die and go to the afterlife.

喜左右祿存六癸六辛生人，命坐子卯合局。六庚六丁生人，辰戌安命卻不富貴。子午宮安命，丙戊生人孤寡夭折。六甲生人居卯宮雖入廟，與擎羊同度破局平常論。身命居子午宮為石中隱玉格，更會科權祿，終身福厚，會羊陀火鈴化忌，若不夭折，男盜女娼。

Those born in the year of癸 (Gui) or辛 (Xin) with their destiny palace located in the Zi (Rat) or Mao (Rabbit) palace form a favorable pattern. Those born in the year of庚 (Geng) or丁 (Ding) with their destiny palace located in the Chen (Dragon) or Xu (Dog) palace do not achieve wealth and honor. If the destiny palace is located in the Zi (Rat) or Wu (Horse) palace, those born in the year of丙 (Bing) or戊 (Wu) will be lonely and have short lifespans. Those born in the year of甲 (Jia) have Giant Gate in the Mao (Rabbit) palace, which is in its prime position, but if it shares the palace with the malefic of injury (Qing Yang), the pattern is broken and should be treated as ordinary. If the body palace and destiny palace are located in the Zi (Rat) or Wu (Horse) palace, it forms the pattern of "hidden jade in stone," and if it also meets the transformed academic achievement (Hua Ke), transformed authority (Hua Quan), and transformed wealth (Hua Lu), they will have deep blessings throughout their lives.

巨門入男命吉凶訣：巨門子午二宮逢，局中得遇以為榮，三合化吉科權祿，官高極品衣紫袍。此星化暗不宜逢，更會殺星愈肆凶，唇齒有傷兼性猛，若然入廟可和平。巨門守命遇擎羊，火鈴逢之事不祥，為人性急多顛倒，百事茫茫亂主張。

The star Jumu appears in the Zi and Wu mansions, and encountering it within the pattern brings honor and distinction; if it harmonizes with beneficial stars, and also transforms into the star of knowledge, authority, and wealth, then the official rank will reach the highest level, and one will wear purple robes. However, this star is originally an ominous star, and it is not advisable to meet it. If it also meets malefic stars, its harmful nature becomes even more intense: the lips and teeth are easily injured, and the nature is fierce and impetuous. One must be in its proper position to achieve harmony. If Jumu is in the命宫 and meets Qingyang, Hongshen, and Lingsheng, all things become ominous: the person is impetuous, acts in a disorderly manner, lacks clarity in everything, and makes reckless decisions.

巨門入女命吉凶訣：巨門旺地多生吉，左右加臨壽更長，女人得此誠為貴，簾卷珍珠坐繡房。巨門命陷主淫娼，侍女偏房免災殃，相貌清奇多近寵，不然壽夭或凶亡。

Such people have an unusual appearance and are often favored by others; otherwise, they may have a short lifespan or meet with misfortune and death.

巨門入限吉凶訣：巨門主限化權星，最喜求謀萬事成，雖有官災並口舌，逢凶化吉得安寧。巨門入限動人愁，若遇喪門事不周，士庶逢之多惹訟，居官失職有丁憂。巨門限陷最乖張，無事官非鬧一場，哭泣喪禍終不免，破財嘔氣受淒涼。

The Giant Gate star governs limitations and transforms into a power star, making it most suitable for achieving success in endeavors and ensuring that all matters can be properly handled. Although there may be legal disputes or verbal conflicts, it can turn misfortune into good fortune, ultimately leading to peace. However, the presence of the Giant Gate star in one's limit often brings worry: if it coincides with the Mourning-and-Condolence spirit, things may not be fully accomplished. Scholars and common people may encounter more legal troubles, officials might lose their positions, or they may have to resign due to the death of their parents. When the Giant Gate star is in a fallen position within the limit, it becomes particularly troublesome: unexpected legal issues may arise, crying and misfortune are inevitable, leading to financial loss, frustration, and enduring hardship.

天相水，南斗化印，為官祿主。為人相貌敦厚持重，清白好酒食，衣祿豐足。紫府左右昌曲日月嘉會，財官雙美，位至三公。與武破羊陀同行則為巧藝，更加火鈴巨機，則傷刑不善終，天相又能化廉貞之惡。

However, if it combines with Wu Qu, Po Jun, Qing Yang, and Duo Luo, one can only make a living through craftsmanship. Adding Hong Xing and Ling Xing along with Ju Men and Tian Ji will result in injuries and an untimely death. Tian Xiang can also neutralize the harmful effects of Lian Zhen.

If Tian Xiang is combined with Wu Qu, Po Jun in the same palace, and further joined by Qing Yang, Duo Luo, Huo Xing, and Ling Xing, it becomes more凶. Such a person may pursue technical skills or business, but if they enter the religious path, they can enjoy abundant blessings.

天相入女命吉凶訣：女人之命天相星，性格聰明百事寧，衣祿豐盈財帛足，旺夫貴子顯門庭。破軍七殺來相會，羊陀火鈴最所忌，孤刑剋害六親無，只可偏房與侍婢。

A woman's destiny with the Seal star and star of livelihood indicates she is intelligent, peaceful in all matters, and enjoys abundance in clothing, food, wealth, and official rank. Her finances are sufficient, and she can support her husband and raise noble children, bringing honor to her family. However, if the Expenditure star and star of severity come to influence her, it is most unfavorable for her to have the Malefic of injury, Malefic of delay and entanglement, Malefic of violence, and Hidden-fire malefic. This leads to loneliness, conflicts, and lack of support from relatives, making her likely to be a concubine or a servant.

天相入限吉凶訣：天相之星敢主財，照臨二限悉無災，動作謀為皆遂意，悠遊享福自然來。天相之星有幾般，三方不喜惡星纏，羊陀空劫重相會，口舌官災禍亦連。限臨天相遇擎羊，作禍興殃不可當，更有火鈴諸殺湊，須教一命入泉鄉。

The star Tian Xiang is capable of governing wealth and official rank. When it illuminates the major and minor limits, there will be no calamity. All actions and plans will be fulfilled as desired, and one will naturally enjoy a state of ease and contentment. However, there are several situations associated with Tian Xiang. It is not favorable for the three directions to have malevolent stars interfering. If stars such as Qing Yang, Tuo Luo, Di Kong, and Di Jie are heavily involved, troubles from disputes and legal matters will continuously arise. If the limit or destiny period falls under Tian Xiang and is accompanied by Qing Yang, the resulting misfortunes will be overwhelming. If further compounded by stars such as Huo Xing and Ling Xing, it may lead to a fatal outcome and a descent into the underworld.

天梁屬土，南斗化蔭，主壽星。厚重清秀，聰明耿直，心無私曲好濟施，有壽。與天機同行居翰苑，善談兵。左右昌曲嘉會，則出將入相。要入廟方富貴，陷地遇火羊破局，則下賤孤寡夭折。逢天機耗殺清閒，僧道受制誥，六壬生人，亥卯未宮安命者，富貴雙全。

The star Tian Liang belongs to the Five Phases of earth. In the Southern Dipper, it transforms into the荫 star, governing longevity. People with this star are sincere, steady, and refined, intelligent and upright, with no private intentions, and enjoy helping others, thus attaining a long life. Those who have Tian Liang together with Tian Ji can enter the Hanlin Academy and are skilled in discussing military strategies. If Left Fu, Right Bi, Wen Chang, and Wen Qu are auspiciously combined, they can become both generals and ministers. Tian Liang brings wealth and honor only when it is in its proper position; if it falls into a weak position and meets the malefic stars of violence and injury, the person will be lowly, isolated, and short-lived. When encountering consuming stars like Pò Jūn, the person will be idle and have no affairs. Monks can receive imperial honors. Those born in the year of Ren who have their destiny in the亥,卯, or 未 palace will achieve both wealth and honor.

女命有男子之志，入廟富貴，陷地加殺傷夫克子又淫賤。

For a female's chart, the star Tian Liang indicates a mind with the ambition of a man. When it is in its favorable position, it brings wealth and honor. However, if it falls in an unfavorable position and is combined with malevolent stars, it may cause harm to the husband, punishment to the children, and lead to immoral and lowly behavior.

天梁入男命吉凶訣：天梁之曜數中強，形神穩重性溫良，左右昌曲來會合，管教富貴列朝綱。天梁星宿壽星逢，機日文昌左右同，子午寅申為入廟，官資清顯至三公。天梁遇火落閒宮，陀殺重逢更是凶，孤刑帶疾破家財，空門技藝可營工。辰戌機梁非小補，破軍卯酉不為良，女人得此為孤獨，剋夫刑子守空房。

The star Tian Liang is powerful among the stars in the system of divination. It has a dignified appearance and a calm demeanor, and its nature is gentle and kind. When stars such as Zuo Fu, You Bi, Wen Chang, and Wen Qu come together with Tian Liang, wealth and high official rank are assured. Tian Liang is originally the longevity star. If it joins with Tian Ji, Tai Yang, Wen Chang, Zuo Fu, and You Bi, and is located in the temples of Zi, Wu, Yin, or Shen, it will lead to a clear and prominent official position, possibly reaching the rank of the Three Grand Ministers. However, if Tian Liang meets the malefic star Huo Xing in an idle palace, and if the malefic of delay and entanglement, Duo Luo, and the general star Qi Sha meet repeatedly, the outcome is more dangerous. This leads to isolation, punishment, illness, and financial loss. One can only survive by entering a monastic life or by relying on skills. When Tian Liang and Tian Ji meet in the Chen or Xu palaces, the benefits are significant. However, if Pu Jun is in the Mao or You palaces, it is not favorable. For women with such a configuration, they tend to be lonely, harm their husbands and children, and live alone in an empty house.

天梁入限吉凶訣：天梁化蔭吉星和，二限逢之福必多，若加吉曜逢廟地，貴極一品輔山河。限至天梁最是良，猶如秋菊吐馨香，加官進職迎新祿，常庶逢之也足糧。天梁守限壽延長，作事求謀更吉昌，若遇火鈴羊陀合，須防一厄與家亡。

The Heavenly Stem Tianliang transforms into a protective star, harmonizing with auspicious stars. When the major and minor life periods reach this point, great fortune is assured. If further aided by auspicious stars in their prime positions, one may attain a high rank, assisting the country and its borders. The period of Tianliang is most favorable, like chrysanthemums blooming in autumn, bringing promotions, new salaries, and abundance for common people. Tianliang guarding the period can prolong life and bring greater auspiciousness in affairs. However, if it meets with the malefic stars of violence, hidden-fire malefic, injurious malefic, and entanglement malefic together, one must beware of calamity, possibly leading to family ruin.

七殺火金，南斗將星，遇帝為權，其餘諸宮皆殺。為人目大性急，喜怒無常，作事進退沈吟。廟旺有謀略，遇紫微掌生殺之權，武職最利。加左右昌曲魁鉞會合，位至極品。落空亡無威力。遇凶曜於生鄉，定為屠宰，會刑囚傷克。

The Seven Killers star belongs to the Fire and Metal elements and is the general star of the Southern Dipper. When it meets the Emperor star, it becomes a symbol of authority, but when it falls into other palaces, it is considered a malevolent star. Such people have large eyes, are impulsive, changeable in mood, and hesitate in their actions. When this star is strong and flourishing, it indicates great strategy and wisdom. When combined with the Emperor star, it signifies the power to decide life and death, making it most favorable for military positions. If further assisted by Left Auxiliary, Right Auxiliary, Star of Examinations, Star of Talent, Yang Benefactor, and Yin Benefactor, one can attain the highest official rank. However, if this star falls into Kongwang, it loses its power. If it appears in its native element along with malevolent stars, the person is likely to engage in occupations related to slaughter and will also encounter legal troubles, imprisonment, and conflicts.

安命寅亥子午宮，丁己生人合局，不喜壬癸午戌生人，六丙六戊生人中平。辰宮安命六庚生人吉利，羊陀火鈴沖會，又在陷地殘疾下局，雖富貴不耐久。女人入廟加權祿，旺夫益子，陷地遇羊火，則以傷克下賤論。

The命宫 is located in the寅, 亥, 子, or 午 palace for those born in丁 or 己 years, forming a harmonious configuration. It is not favorable for those born in壬, 癸, 午, or 戌 years.

If theMalefic of injury, Malefic of delay and entanglement, Malefic of violence, or Hidden-fire malefic are in opposition or conjunction with the命宫 and fall in a declining position, it indicates a poor configuration with disabilities. Even if one attains wealth and status, it will not last long. For a female's命宫, if the七杀 is in a flourishing position and is accompanied by化权 and 化禄, it can enhance the husband's fortune and benefit the children. However, if theGeneral star and star of severity is in a declining position and meets Malefic of injury and Malefic of violence, it should be assessed based on injuries, harm, and inferior status.

子午宮旺地，丁己甲生人財官格。卯酉宮旺地，與武曲同度，乙辛生人福厚財官格。辰戌宮入廟，加吉星財官格。丑未宮入廟，與廉貞同度，加吉星財官格。寅申宮入廟，甲庚丁己生人財官格。巳亥宮和平，與紫微同度，丙戊壬生人財官格。

七殺入男命吉凶訣：七殺寅申子午宮，四夷拱手服英雄，魁鉞左右文昌會，科祿名高食萬鍾。殺居陷地不堪言，凶禍猶如伴虎眠，若是殺強無制伏，少年惡死到黃泉。七殺居命落閒宮，巨宿羊陀更照沖，若不傷肢必損骨，空門僧道可興隆。

When the Seven Killers star falls in the positions of寅, 申, 子, or 午, the four surrounding regions will all submit and pay homage to this hero. If the stars Tian Kui, Tian Yue, Zuo Fu, You Bi, and Wen Chang congregate together, and if there are transformations of academic success and wealth, the person will achieve high status and receive great rewards. However, if the Seven Killers star falls in a weak position, it is not worth mentioning, as misfortune is like sleeping with a tiger; if the malevolent energy is strong and not restrained, the person will die young and be reborn in the underworld. If the Seven Killers star is in the native's chart but falls in an idle position, and the Ju Men star along with Qing Yang and Duo Luo stars shine upon it, the person may not harm their siblings but will damage their bones. Such a person may become a monk or Taoist, and thus achieve prosperity.

七殺入女命吉凶訣：女命愁逢七殺星，作事果斷又聰明，氣高志大無男女，不免刑夫歷苦辛。七殺孤星貪宿逢，火陀湊合非為貴，女人得此性不良，只好偏房為使婢。

For a woman's fate, encountering the Seven Killers star is most feared: although she is decisive and intelligent in her actions, she has high aspirations and great ambitions, making it difficult to have children. She inevitably harms her husband and endures much hardship. When the Seven Killers star meets the Star of Romance and Desire, and the Malefic of Violence and the Malefic of Delay and Entanglement come together, it is not considered a noble destiny. A woman with such a combination tends to have a bad nature and is likely to become a concubine or a servant.

七殺入限吉凶訣：二限雖然逢七殺，從容和緩家道發，對宮天府正來朝，仕宦逢之名顯達。七殺之星主啾唧，作事艱難俱有失，更加惡曜在限中，主有官災多病疾。

The great limit and the small limit, although encountering the Seven Killers, as long as one acts calmly and gently, the family fortune will still prosper; if the opposite palace has the Treasury Star and Command Star shining and supporting, officials will achieve fame and success.

破軍水，北斗化耗星，主妻子、奴僕。體型五短背厚眉寬腰斜，性剛寡合，好爭強。棄祖發福，好博禽捕獵。喜紫微有威權，天梁天府能制其惡，與文曲同度一生貧士，更入水鄉殘疾，雖富不久、夭折。

They can only gain fortune by abandoning their ancestral careers, and they enjoy gambling and hunting animals. Pòjūn prefers Zǐwēi; with Zǐwēi, it gains authority. Tianliang and Tianfu can restrain its harmful effects. When Pòjūn is in the same palace as Wénqū, the person will be a poor scholar all his life. If it falls into a water region, he may have a disability, even if wealthy, his fortune will not last long, and he may die young.

六癸甲生人，坐子午宮者位至三公。若丙戊寅生人命坐子午宮，則孤單殘疾，雖富貴不久、夭折。丙戊生人，命坐辰戌丑未，與紫微同垣或對居，富貴不小。遇廉貞羊陀火鈴於陷宮，爭鬥疾病。僧道宜之。

Those born in the癸 or甲 years, with theExpenditure star and vanguard star star sitting in the子 or午 palace, may attain high official positions up to the rank of the Three Grand Ministers. However, if someone born in the丙 or戊 years or the寅 year has the命 sitting in the子 or午 palace, they will be lonely and may suffer from disabilities. Even if they become wealthy and powerful, their success will not last long, and they may even die young. If someone born in the丙 or戊 years has the命 sitting in the辰, 戌, 丑, or 未 palaces, and theThe Emperor star star is in the same palace or opposite palace, they will achieve great wealth and status.

破軍入男命吉凶訣：破軍七殺與貪狼，入廟英雄不可當，關羽命逢為上將，庶人富足置田莊。破軍子午會文昌，左右雙雙入廟廊，財帛豐盈多慷慨，祿官昭著佐君王。破軍一曜最難當，化祿科權喜異常，若還陷地仍加殺，破祖離宗出遠鄉。破軍不喜在身宮，廉貞火羊陀會凶，不見傷殘定壽夭，只宜僧道度平生。

Pojun, Qishash, and Tanwang stars in their exaltation form a heroic configuration, with an unstoppable momentum; during the Three Kingdoms period, Guan Yu became a top general due to this configuration, and ordinary people encountering it can become wealthy enough to acquire land and estates. If Pojun is in the Zi or Wu palace and combines with Wen Chang, and both Zuo Fu and You Bi are present, one can enter the imperial court: wealth is abundant, one is generous, salary and official rank are prominent, and one can assist the king. Pojun is the most difficult star to deal with; if it is accompanied by Hualu, Huake, and Huaquan, it brings great joy; but if it is in a fallen position and combined with malevolent stars, it will cause the destruction of ancestral property, leaving the family, and one must leave home to go far away. Pojun is not favorable in the body palace; if it combines with Lianzhen, Huoshen, Qingyang, and Tuoluo, it is dangerous: either causing injury or certain death, and it is only suitable for a life as a monk or Taoist.

破軍入女命吉凶訣：破軍子午為入廟，女命逢之福壽昌，性格有能偏出眾，旺夫益子姓名香。破軍女命不宜逢，擎羊加陷便為凶，克害良人非一次，須教悲哭度朝昏。

This can cause repeated harm to her husband and she will have to spend her days crying from morning till night.

破軍入限吉凶訣：破軍入限要推詳，廟地方知福祿昌，更遇文昌同魁鉞，限臨此地極風光。破軍入限細推詳，廟地無凶少損傷，殺湊破軍防破耗，更防妻子自身亡。破軍主限多濃血，失脫乖張不可說，更值女人主孝服，血光產難災殃節。

When the Expenditure star and vanguard star enter the limit, careful analysis is needed: if it falls in a favorable position, one will know prosperity and blessings will flourish; if it also meets the Star of examinations and documents and the Yang Benefactor and Yin Benefactor, the limit's journey to this position will be extremely prosperous. When the Expenditure star and vanguard star enter the limit, further detailed analysis is still required: in a favorable position, there is no evil, and loss is minimal; if there are malevolent stars combining with the Expenditure star and vanguard star, one should be cautious of financial loss and expenditure, and also beware of the death of wife and children or even one's own demise. The limit governed by the Expenditure star and vanguard star often brings ailments and blood disorders, as well as losses, omissions, and disorderly situations that are endless; if a woman's limit reaches this, she will mainly have to wear mourning clothes, facing blood-related calamities and dangers during childbirth.

文昌金，南北斗，乃文魁星，眉目清秀分明，機巧多學多能，會陽梁祿存財官昭卓，富貴聲揚，陷地先難後易，加擎羊火鈴巧藝之人，陷地獨守加殺帶疾，亦能延壽，旺有暗痣，陷有斑痕。女命入廟平常，加吉曜富貴，陷地遇羊火巨機殺忌，則下賤淫娼使婢。

When the Star of Examinations and Documents is in the命宫 and occupies a strong position, the person has grand ambitions, and their wealth is equivalent to ten thousand taels of silver. Their literary talent and skills are refined, their aspirations are vast, and they are sure to rise to prominence. The presence of the Star of Examinations and Documents in the命宫 is not ordinary: as long as the life span and destiny are not harmed or damaged, their fortune and longevity will be long. However, if the life span and destiny are affected by conflicts, and they also encounter the Malefic of Violence and the evil influence of the Five Elements, they may suffer premature death or be afflicted by injuries.

文昌入女命吉凶訣：女人身命值文昌，秀麗清奇福更長，紫府對沖三合照，管教富貴著霞裳。文昌女命遇廉貞，陷地擎羊火忌星，若不為娼終壽夭，偏房猶得主人輕。

Even if she becomes a concubine, she will still be looked down upon by her master.

文昌入限吉凶訣：文昌之星最為清，斗數之中第二星，若遇太歲與二限，士人值此占科名。限遇文昌不得地，更有羊陀火鈴忌，官非口舌破家財，未免刑傷多晦滯。

文曲水，北斗，司科甲星。與文昌逢吉主科第，單居身命更逢惡殺湊合，無名便佞之人，喜六甲生人居巳酉丑宮，侯伯官貴。與貪狼火星同垣三合者，將相之命。武貞羊殺破狼，居陷地則喪命夭折，若與同梁武曲會旺宮，聰明果決，如羊陀火鈴沖破，只宜空門。旺有暗痣，陷有斑痕。女命入廟清秀，陷地與巨火忌機會，及貪狼破軍同垣沖破，則孤寒下賤淫慾論。

文曲入男命吉凶訣：文曲守命最為良，相貌堂堂志氣昂，士庶逢之應福厚，丈夫得此受金章。文曲守垣逢火忌，不喜三方惡殺聚，此人雖巧口能言，惟在空門可遇貴。

文曲入限吉凶訣：二限相逢文曲星，士庶斯年須發福，更添左右會天同，財祿滔滔為上局。文曲限遇廉陀羊，陷地非災惹禍殃，更兼命裡星辰弱，須知此歲入泉鄉。

In the year when the Great Limit and the Small Limit both meet the Star of Talent and Eloquence, scholars and common people will both experience good fortune. If further aided by the Auxiliary Auspicious Stars and the Star of Blessings, wealth and official rank will flow continuously, forming an excellent pattern. However, if the limit or fortune of the Star of Talent and Eloquence meets the stars of廉贞, Malefic of delay and entanglement, and Malefic of injury, and falls in a declining position, it will either bring disaster or misfortune. If the native's main star is already weak, there may be a risk to life and death, leading to the afterlife.

左輔土，南北斗善星，佐帝令尤佳，若府相機昌貪狼武曲會，再加右弼同垣，富貴不小，財官雙美，若見羊陀火忌中局，旺宮有暗痣，三殺如陷地加巨門七殺天機下局。女命會吉星旺夫益子，僧道清潔。

Left Fu is of the Earth element and is a benevolent star among the Northern and Southern Stars, assisting the Emperor Star in issuing commands, which is especially auspicious. If it combines withTreasury star and command star, Seal star and star of livelihood, Star of wisdom and adaptability, Star of examinations and documents, Star of romance and desire, and Wealth star and general star, and is also joined by Right Bi in the same palace, wealth and official rank will be great. If it meets Malefic of injury, Malefic of delay and entanglement, Malefic of violence, and 化忌, it is only of medium quality; people born in a strong palace will have a dark mole on their body. If three malevolent stars fall into a weak palace, and are combined with Dark star and star of speech, General star and star of severity, and Star of wisdom and adaptability, it becomes a poor quality pattern. For women, if Left Fu meets auspicious stars, it can enhance their husband's fortune and benefit their children; if they become monks or Taoists, they will maintain purity and self-discipline.

左輔入男命吉凶訣：左輔尊星能降福，風流敦厚通今古，紫府祿權貪武會，文官武職多清貴。羊陀火鈴三方照，縱有財官非吉兆，廉貞破巨更來沖，若不傷殘終是夭。

The star Left Auxiliary is a noble star capable of bringing blessings: it endows a person with a refined and sincere nature, and broad knowledge of both ancient and modern times. When this star joins with the Emperor star, the Treasury star, and the transformed wealth and power stars, as well as the Star of Romance and the Wealth and General stars, whether in civil or military positions, the person tends to be upright and achieve high status. However, if the Malefic of Injury, the Malefic of Delay and Entanglement, the Malefic of Violence, and the Hidden-fire Malefic appear in the three directions, even if there is wealth, official position, and fortune, it is not a good omen. If the Dark star, the Expenditure star, and the Star of Speech further conflict, it may result in injury, and ultimately lead to an early death.

左輔入女命吉凶訣：女命左輔主賢豪，能幹能為又氣高，更與紫微天府合，金冠封贈過滔滔。火陀相會不為良，七殺破軍壽不長，只可偏房方富足，聰明得寵過時光。

For a woman's chart, if it includes Left Auxiliary, she is virtuous, generous, capable, and ambitious. If it also combines with the Emperor Star and the Treasury Star, she will receive imperial honors and wear a golden crown, enjoying abundant blessings. However, if it combines with the Malefic of Violence and the Malefic of Delay and Entanglement, it is not good. If further combined with the General Star and the Expenditure Star, her lifespan will be short. Such a person can only achieve wealth and comfort by being a secondary wife, relying on her intelligence to gain favor and pass the time.
