Consecutive pearls release the horse, one path clears the way, mutual exchange of noblemen, six relations ascend in rank.

遇連珠發馬格者，主有監司之貴，得互換貴人者，主有家世之賞。

When someone encounters the pattern of consecutive stars indicating a horse, they are destined to hold a position of high authority and prestige. Those who receive mutual exchange of noble patrons will enjoy the favors of a distinguished family and have their six relations promoted along with them.

乙亥、乙未、乙卯人，祿在卯、攀寄辰，其攀鞍先曆卯而後辰，故曰踐祿也，辛巳、辛酉、辛丑人，祿在酉，攀鞍在戍，故曰踐祿，遇此格者，有使者之貴。（並壺中子）

Those born in the years of Yihai, Yiwei, and Yimao have their "Yi" stem's luck (Lü) in Yimao. Their "climbing saddle" (Pan An) is located in Chen. The climbing saddle must first pass through Yimao before reaching Chen, which is like walking on their luck, hence called "treading luck" (Jian Lu). Those born in the years of Xinsi, Xinyou, and Xinchou have their "Xin" stem's luck (Lü) in Xinyou. Their "climbing saddle" is located in Xu. This also follows the order of first luck then saddle, so it is called "treading luck" as well. People who possess this pattern are as esteemed as Sima Xiangru of the Han dynasty when he was sent on a mission. This is also mentioned in the book "Hu Zhongzi."

珞琭子云：若值攀鞍踐祿，逢之則佩印乘軒。瑩和尚注云：攀鞍有位與天元帶合者，人得之貴也。須要加臨吉將，身運自生，更於旺相之宮，始可言其福也。

Luolu Zi says: If one encounters climbing the saddle and treading the official rank, the person will be able to wear the seal and ride in a carriage. Ying和尚 explains: Climbing the saddle indicates occupying a position, and if it is in harmony with the heavenly stems, then the person will be esteemed; however, it is also necessary to have auspicious generals accompanying it, and both the inherent nature and the fortune should be self-sustaining, and it should fall in a prosperous and strong palace, then its blessings can be spoken of.

如丁丑年、癸卯月、丁亥日、庚戍時，丑人用亥日為正馬，有戌時為攀鞍，東方朔云：有馬無鞍則不能致用，有鞍無馬則不能致遠，鞍馬兩全，頻求千里之望，亦主多動靜，不守本宅，好遊行，或主不在本家或離鄉。（馬子才命格）

For example, in the year Dingchou, month Guimao, day Dinghai, and hour Gengxu: a person born in the year of Dingchou takes the day of Dinghai as the official post-horse, and the hour of Gengxu is considered climbing onto the saddle. Dongfang Shuo said that having a horse without a saddle cannot be used, and having a saddle without a horse cannot travel far. Only when both saddle and horse are present can one frequently hope for a journey of a thousand miles. Such a fate is characterized by being active rather than quiet, not staying in one place, and enjoying travel, or the person not living at home, being away from their hometown. The "Mazicai Mingge" states this.

亥卯未人見丙辰、戊辰。巳酉丑人見壬戌。（預知子）

Those born in the years of Hai, Mao, and Wei see Bingchen and Wuchen, and those born in the years of Si, You, and Chou see Renxu, all considered to be of the climbing saddle and stepping on fortune pattern. The book Yu Zhi Zi says this.

生時最不可犯之。甲己申酉以為仇，乙庚午未不須遊，丙辛辰巳門外立，丁壬寅卯一場空，戊癸子丑高堂坐，時值空亡不可求。

The evil star "Jie Lu Kong Wang" is most unfavorable when it falls on the birth hour. It is determined by the day stem to find the hour branch: those born on Jia day or Ji day should avoid the hours of Shen and You; those born on Yi day or Geng day should avoid the hours of Wu and Wei; those born on Bing day or Xin day should avoid the hours of Chen and Si; those born on Ding day or Ren day should avoid the hours of Yin and Mao; and those born on Wu day or Gui day should avoid the hours of Zi and Chou. If the birth hour falls exactly on these positions, it indicates a fate of seeking without success.

金書命訣作戊癸不堪逢戌亥，（八字金書作戊癸子丑君須避，李九萬作「戊癸子丑多凶敗」，天寶經作「戊癸子丑天然是」。三曆會同引百忌總聖二曆云：「甲己日在戌亥」。）又云：若月值，初限不安，日值，中限不泰，時值，末限不快，若受胎月、日值者，一生不快。八字金書云：凡值此一重不妨，二三重主早亡，不然主遭刑，如甲己生人，申酉日時，定不好，縱干納吉，只作尋常命，運到此亦凶。

Different sources differ in their interpretation of the line concerning Wu and Gui: The "Jin Shu Ming Jue" states that Wu and Gui days are not suitable when paired with Xu or Hai; the "Ba Zi Jin Shu" says Wu and Gui days should avoid Zi or Chou; Li Jiwan's version mentions that Wu and Gui on Zi or Chou often bring misfortune; the "Tianbao Jing" states that Wu and Gui on Zi or Chou are naturally favorable; the "San Li He Tong" cites two calendars, "Bai Ji" and "Zong Sheng," which say that the Star of Blockage and Empty Wasteland for Ji days and Ji days fall on Xu and Hai. The text also explains that if this Empty Wasteland falls on the month pillar, the person's early years will be unstable; if it falls on the day pillar, the middle years will be difficult; if it falls on the hour pillar, the later years will be unsatisfactory; if both the birth month and birth day coincide with it, the person's whole life will be uncomfortable. The "Ba Zi Jin Shu" further states that committing only one instance is not serious, but committing two or three instances may lead to early death or punishment. For example, people born on Ji days or Ji days who also encounter Shen or You in their day or hour are destined to have difficulties; even if the heavenly stem and "Nayin" (the Five Phases associated with the sixty jiazi) are favorable, their fate is only ordinary, and they will still face danger when their destiny reaches such periods.

鼠見犬時須惡死，牛到牛宮獨自傷，鼠雞逐犬遭從厄，兔趕蛇蹤配遠鄉，龍上見龍波浪起，船行須忌水中央，蛇猴相會樹頭亡，豬犬羊逢虎必傷，忌行年運並時日，三合為災子細詳。

The song about "Swallowing and Devouring Death" explains: Those born under the rat will meet misfortune if they encounter the dog; those born under the ox will suffer alone if they meet another ox; when the rat and the rooster chase the dog, they will face a calamity; those born under the rabbit pursuing the snake will be exiled far away; when the dragon meets another dragon, there will be sudden waves on the water, and sailing in the middle of the river is most dangerous; when the snake meets the monkey, there will be death from falling from a tree; those born under the pig, dog, and sheep will certainly be injured if they meet the tiger. These taboos should be taken into account in the current year, in the big destiny cycle, and in the day and hour of birth. If they form a Triple Harmony, the calamity must be carefully examined.

子人逢酉丑居午，寅未交加申卯安，亥問凶辰戌怕巳，此神皆是鬼門關，人命生來若犯此，六月無霜也道寒。林開云：命中無生旺祿馬貴人，全無好處，最忌，此主作事幽暗、遁悶，一生窮寒。

The pairing for "Ghost Gate" is: those born in the Year of the Rat see the Year of the Ox, those born in the Year of the Ox see the Year of the Horse, those born in the Year of the Tiger see the Year of the Goat, those born in the Year of the Goat see the Year of the Tiger, those born in the Year of the Monkey see the Year of the Rabbit, those born in the Year of the Rabbit see the Year of the Monkey, those born in the Year of the Pig see the Year of the Dragon, and those born in the Year of the Dog see the Year of the Snake; all these pairings are considered Ghost Gate. If a person is born with this, it is like feeling cold in June when there is no frost. Lin Kai said: if a person's destiny lacks the "Lusha" (the Lu Spirit and the Post-horse, which govern wealth and movement) and "Nobleman" (Tianyi Nobleman, which governs the support of a person of high status), they will have no benefits, and this is most undesirable; such people always operate in the shadows, feel oppressed inside, and remain poor all their lives.

子午卯、辰戌丑（八字金書作未戌丑）、寅申巳（八字金書云此類輕）。三戰如同刑一般，五行犯著主傷殘，若不投河須惡死，耳聾瘖瘂併相干。八字金書作三刑殺云：大段有貴人祿馬救，亦主貧困，有疾，雖食祿命，須惡死，如無救，主徙配。

The "Three Battles of Death" consists of three sets of earthly branches: Zi-Wu-Mao, Chen-Xu-Chou (the "Chen-Xu-Chou" group as written in the "Book of Bronze and Gold on the Eight Characters"), and Yin-Shen-Si (the "Yin-Shen-Si" group, which the "Book of Bronze and Gold on the Eight Characters" says is less significant). The rhyme says that the destructive power of the Three Battles is similar to that of the "Three Punishments." In terms of the Five Phases, if one is afflicted by them, it indicates physical disability; either drowning oneself in a river or dying an untimely death. Disabilities such as deafness and muteness are also related. The "Book of Bronze and Gold on the Eight Characters" refers to this as "Three Punishments of Death," and it says that generally, even if there are noblemen or official ranks to save the person, poverty and illness are still inevitable. Even if one has a salary, one is still likely to die a violent death. If there is no way to save oneself, one is likely to be exiled or sent to military service.

寅午戌巳位不堪出，巳酉丑未位不須有，申子辰卯上不須慿，亥卯未子上何處是。

The "No Achievement Killer" is determined according to the Triple Harmony Formation: those with the Fire triad (Yin-Wu-Xu) should avoid seeing Si, as there is no head in the Si position; those with the Metal triad (Si-You-Chou) should avoid seeing Wei, as there is no hope in the Wei position; those with the Water triad (Shen-Zi-Chen) should avoid seeing Mao, as there is no support in the Mao position; those with the Wood triad (Hai-Mao-Wei) should avoid seeing Zi, as there is no place to rely on in the Zi position. Whenever this killer is involved, all matters will find it difficult to succeed.

沐浴名休敗，賣田還宿債，業盡損妻兒，作事何【曾】快，如金人逢午是，餘傚此。天元變化書云：五行最忌沐浴者火，次忌土，又次忌木，水不使沐浴，金亦不使，此兩數貴於沐浴也。沉芝源髓云：亦忌時日逢沐浴，酒色，不然耽賭博。寸珠尺璧云：凡男女命，忌沐浴，主淫亂。壺中子云：沐浴臨年，伯夷有首陽之餓。注云：見生值沐浴曰祼刑，行年值沐浴曰窮殺，故曰伯夷有首陽之餓。

"Bathing" is also called "Rest and Decline." A mnemonic says: encountering it means selling land to repay old debts, losing all family property and harming wife and children, and nothing ever goes smoothly. For example, those with the Nayin sound element of metal meet "Bathing" at the hour of Wu, and the rest of the Five Phases follow the same pattern. The "Book of Heavenly Changes" says: among the Five Phases, fire most fears "Bathing," then earth, then wood; water and metal are not afraid of "Bathing," and in fact consider it a good thing. The "Source of the Hidden Jewel" says: encountering "Bathing" in the day pillar or hour pillar should be avoided, as it indicates indulgence in alcohol and sex, otherwise it suggests gambling. The "Pearl and Jewel in a Handful" says: both male and female horoscopes should avoid "Bathing," as it indicates immoral behavior. The "Master of the Jade Vessel" says: if "Bathing" appears in the year pillar, there will be hardship like Bo Yi starving to death on Mount Shouyang. The commentary explains: encountering "Bathing" in the year, month, day, or hour of birth is called "Naked Punishment," and encountering it in the stream of years is called "Exhausted Killing," hence the comparison with Bo Yi starving.

丑酉申人在酉子，寅午卯人在子丑，辰巳戌人在午戌，戌亥未人在丑卯。以上主不利尊親、兄弟、妻子，平生貧困，資財不足。

The method of calculating "Jiu Tian E Hui" is as follows: for those born in the Year of Chou, You, or Shen, the E Hui falls on You and Zi; for those born in the Year of Yin, Wu, or Mao, it falls on Zi and Chou; for those born in the Year of Chen, Si, or Xu, it falls on Wu and Xu; and for those born in the Year of Xu, Hai, or Wei, it falls on Chou and Mao. Anyone with this star in their fate is unfavorable to elders and respected relatives, and also hinders brothers and wife and children, leading to a life of poverty where money is always insufficient.

取本命沖破之辰，一謂之破命殺，若人遇之，君子多為勇勐將帥，小人主刑獄，非命而終，或為僧道。

The "Heavenly Gang Killer" is the earthly branch that conflicts or destroys the branch of one's birth year; it is also called the "Destroying Fate Killer." When a person encounters this, virtuous gentlemen are likely to become brave generals; ordinary people may face legal troubles, imprisonment, or an untimely death, and some may become monks or Taoist priests as a result.

子午人在午，丑未人在辰，寅申人在寅，卯酉人在子，辰戌人在戌，巳亥人在申。君子掌刑殺之任，小人性多淫密，好行陰謀，宜為僧道。

The method of determining "Yin Sha" is as follows: for those born in the year of Zi or Wu, Yin Sha falls in Wu; for those born in Chou or Wei, it falls in Chen; for those born in Yin or Shen, it falls in Yin; for those born in Mao or You, it falls in Zi; for those born in Chen or Xu, it falls in Xu; and for those born in Si or Hai, it falls in Shen. Officials who carry this tend to hold positions responsible for punishment and execution. Common people who carry it are usually secretive and delicate in nature, inclined to use underhanded methods, and are suitable for becoming monks or Taoist priests.

寅申人在戌，卯酉人在子，辰戌人在寅，巳亥在辰，子午人在午，丑未人在申。君子主錢穀重任，小人多陷刑獄。

The method of determining "Yang Sha" is as follows: for those born in the year of Yin or Shen, Yang Sha falls in Xu; for those born in Mao or You, it falls in Zi; for those born in Chen or Xu, it falls in Yin; for those born in Si or Hai, it falls in Chen; for those born in Zi or Wu, it falls in Wu; and for those born in Chou or Wei, it falls in Shen. Officials who carry this are often assigned duties involving financial responsibilities such as taxation; ordinary people who carry it are more likely to fall into legal troubles.

取命前一辰是，主多因武藝進達，亦有戮辱之禍。

The "Dragon Kill" star is determined by taking the earthly branch of one's birth year and counting back one position. People with this star tend to achieve status through martial skills and rise step by step in their careers, but they are also prone to misfortunes such as being killed or humiliated by others.

取命後一辰為之，主立性強明，常有邊防之任，殺若克身，亦有非命之災。

The "Tiger Kill" is determined by counting one position forward from the earthly branch of one's birth year. People who carry this are usually strong-willed and shrewd, often holding military posts on the border. However, if this killer star is reversed and controls the five phases of the person's destiny, it may bring about sudden death from accidents.

取異方三命入墓中也，常在劫殺後一辰，謂如申子辰人在辰，主多坎坷，為事蹇塞，行年至此，亦然。

The "mù shā" (mound killer) is determined by the Five Phases where the Triple Harmony Formation is buried. Its position is usually one step after the "jié shā" (obstruction killer). For example, in the Water Triple Harmony Formation of Shen-Zi-Chen, the mound killer falls on Chen. Those who carry this tend to have a life full of hardships and obstacles in everything they do; when the current year's cycle reaches this position, the situation is similar.

取逐方有三合正位後一辰也。如申子辰為三合子為正位，亥臨於子，是害氣殺也。申子辰人在亥，他彷此，主妨害父母，不利六親，資用缺乏。

The "Hai Qi Sha" is taken as the position immediately following the base earthly branch of each Triple Harmony Formation. For example, Shen-Zi-Chen forms a Water Triple Harmony, with Zi being the main branch of this formation. The branch Hai is directly adjacent to Zi, so Hai is considered the Hai Qi Sha. Therefore, people born in the years of Shen, Zi, or Chen have their Hai Qi Sha in Hai. The same principle applies to other Triple Harmonies. If this element appears in a person's birth chart, it indicates obstacles in relationships with parents and six relations, and often leads to financial shortages in daily life.

取命前四辰，如子人在辰是也，主夭折或刑獄之厄。（三命指掌）

The "Death Qi Killer" is determined by counting four positions back from the person's birth year branch. For example, if someone was born in the Year of the Rat (Zi), the Death Qi Killer falls on the Year of the Dragon (Chen). If this is present in one's destiny, it indicates early death or suffering from imprisonment and punishment. This statement comes from the "Three Hands of Destiny."

謂如太歲是甲子，甲己之年丙作首，遁起丙寅，自丙寅數起，逢丙逢寅，順移一辰，數至丙至子，移卯上，戊寅到辰上，丙戌到巳上，庚寅到午上，丙申到未上，壬寅到申上，丙午到酉上，甲寅到戌上，丙辰到亥上，自丙辰數至癸亥，無丙無寅，不移，復見甲子，是擎天殺，卻要移一辰，是殺所臨之地，則子上是也，其殺各隨逐年太歲，從寅上遁起，皆彷此推之，起照臨身命運限，決有凶咎。

The method of calculating "Qing Tian Sha" is as follows: Assume the current year's "Tai Sui" is Jiazi. According to the mnemonic "Jia and Ji years start with Bing," begin counting the months from Bingyin. From Bingyin, count downward, and whenever the heavenly stem is Bing or the earthly branch is Yin, move one position forward. When reaching Bingzi, move to the position of Mao; when reaching Wuyin, move to the position of Chen; when reaching Bingxu, move to the position of Si; when reaching Gengyin, move to the position of Wu; when reaching Bingshen, move to the position of Wei; when reaching Renyin, move to the position of Shen; when reaching Bingwu, move to the position of You; when reaching Jiayin, move to the position of Xu; when reaching Bingchen, move to the position of Hai. From Bingchen, continue counting until reaching Guihai. If neither Bing nor Yin appears in between, do not move. When the count returns to Jiazi, this is the "Qing Tian Sha," which requires another move to the position it is located, which is Zi. This killer changes according to the yearly Tai Sui, always starting from the position of Yin and following the same method for other years. When this killer is located in the natal chart, the body chart, or the big year, it will definitely bring about danger and misfortune.

卯與午，丑與辰，子與酉，未與戌，皆相破，惟寅申巳亥無破，以其合故也。犯此主少年災滯，及財產耗散，兼身有折傷之災。（李虛中書）

"Pòshā" refers to the destruction among the Earthly Branches: Mao and Wu destroy each other, Chou and Chen destroy each other, Zi and You destroy each other, and Wei and Xu destroy each other; only Yin, Shen, Si, and Hai do not destroy each other because they naturally have harmonious relationships. If a person's destiny involves destruction, it indicates suffering from illness and misfortune in youth, delays in affairs, easy loss of property, and injuries such as falls, bruises, and fractures. This statement comes from the "Book of Li Xuzhong."

未上起子逆行至本命是也。歌曰：暴敗子生未上行，逆遊一匝細推尋，損克六親及妻子，命中兼疾犯徒刑。（穿珠指掌）

The method of determining "暴败杀" is to start from the unseen position and count backwards through the earthly branches until reaching the person's birth year; the branch reached is the one. A mnemonic says: "暴败 should be counted backwards from the unseen position starting with Zi, going around the circle carefully to find it; if it is present in the destiny, it will harm the six relations and wife and children, often accompanied by illness or even imprisonment." This method comes from "Chuan Zhu Zhi Zhang."

（五行無貴氣，下克上為返）五行死絕併來時，有格如閒福不隨，更忌日時克年主，定無官貴切須知。

"Return to the Original Killing" refers to a situation where the five phases in the birth chart lack noble energy, and the lower pillars reverse to control the upper ones. The rhyme says: when the five phases are in the dead or doomed positions and all gather at the hour pillar, even if a pattern can be formed, it is like a hollow structure, with no real fortune; it is even more dangerous if the day pillar and hour pillar kill the year pillar, indicating that the person is destined to have no connection with official positions or prestige. Scholars must remember this.

寅卯相逢為的殺，此般之兆最傷情，性直可憐無惡意，自然作事不安平。

If the person's destiny includes both Yin and Mao, it is called "the killing sign." This omen is most harmful to relationships: people who carry this tend to be straightforward in nature. Pity that they have no ill intent, yet they naturally make things unstable and unsmooth.

祿後一辰時若遇，定離祖業自營家，元辰寡宿如相併，大似青松生生石涯。（紫虛）

The "Lizusha" is determined by the next earthly branch after the Lu Spirit. If this appears in the time pillar, the person is certain to leave the family's property and establish their own household to seek a living. If it also appears together with the two malevolent stars "Yuanchen" and "Gusu," the situation is like a pine tree growing in a rock crevice, isolated and unable to spread out freely. This statement comes from the "Zixu."

（位在納音旺處對宮）水土須來午上尋，金人切忌卯來侵，木居酉位火居子，克命凶為白虎神。其神主血光橫死，在水火，防焚溺之災，在金木，防杖楚金刀災，在土，防墜落災，克身大凶，不克身五行生旺者，不用。神白經有類因訣云：類水逢星照（申子辰見午也）虛空懼日炯，（寅午戌見子也）庚辛憂蠍戰，（巳酉丑見卯也）木不引雞眠，（亥卯未見酉也）四柱交加見，福少禍連緜，有人得此訣，便是得昇天。

The position of "White Tiger Kill" is in the palace that is opposite to the place of the "Prosperity" of the "Nayin sound element" Five Phases. A rhyme says: those whose Nayin sound element is water or earth should look for it in the position of午 (Wu); those whose Nayin sound element is metal should avoid the position of卯 (Mao); those whose Nayin sound element is wood should look for it in the position of酉 (You); those whose Nayin sound element is fire should look for it in the position of子 (Zi). If it comes to harm the destiny, it is a malevolent White Tiger deity. This star is associated with bloodshed and sudden death: those whose destiny is water or fire should beware of fire and drowning; those whose destiny is metal or wood should beware of beating and cuts; those whose destiny is earth should beware of falling and breaking. If this star harms the person's destiny, it is a great misfortune; if it does not harm the person and the Five Phases are in a favorable and thriving state, it need not be considered. The "Classical Reasoning" in the "Shen Bai Jing" says: people of the water cycle fear the presence of fire at午 (Wu) (when申子辰 meet午), they fear the scorching sun in the void (when寅午戌 meet子); people of the metal cycle fear the conflict with wood at卯 (Mao) (when巳酉丑 meet卯); people of the wood cycle should not allow the酉 (You) to rest (when亥卯未 meet酉). If these appear in the four pillars, they bring poverty and continuous misfortunes; whoever understands this rhyme is like having attained enlightenment and ascension to heaven.

爪牙殺去命三辰，大忌金神羊虎臨，夾殺克身無福救，必遭蛇虎害其身。大忌與羊刃金神白虎並，則大凶，主爪牙之災，甚者虎狼之厄，輕則牛馬犬畜毒蟲傷【噄】之災，不克身，有福神責罵宮者，不用。如克身，而遇於刑殺之地，決不可逃也。

The "Claw and Fang Kill" is located three places away from the birth stem. The rhyme says: it most fears the presence of the Metal God, Yangren, and White Tiger together, withInauspicious Sha (evil killing forces) on both sides pressing in to harm the person, and no auspicious deity to save them, inevitably suffering injury from snakes and tigers. If it appears together with Yangren, Metal God, and White Tiger, it is a major calamity, indicating injury from wild beasts' claws and fangs; severe cases may involve danger from tigers and wolves, while lighter cases may involve bites from cattle, horses, dogs, or venomous creatures. If it does not harm the person and there is an auspicious deity guarding that palace, then there is no need to worry; but if it does harm the person and falls in a place of punishment and killing, this disaster is unavoidable.

劫殺克身者是也，主車馬顛覆之災，更帶金神羊刃克身，其禍尤緊也。

"Diandui sha" refers to the situation where "jie sha" attacks the person's destiny, indicating a calamity of falling from a vehicle or horse. If the golden deity and yangren also attack the person at the same time, the disaster becomes even more urgent and dangerous.

戌人己，己人戌，辰人亥，亥人辰，寅人未，未人寅，卯人申，申人卯，午人丑，丑人午，子人酉，酉人子，是五行反【擊】處，大忌相剋，天元是墓，更有天中、官符、大耗者，自縊之人也。

The configuration for "self-suspension death" involves mutual visibility between two branches: those born in the year of Xu see Ji, and those born in the year of Ji see Xu; those born in the year of Chen see Hai, and those born in the year of Hai see Chen; those born in the year of Yin see Wei, and those born in the year of Wei see Yin; those born in the year of Mao see Shen, and those born in the year of Shen see Mao; those born in the year of Wu see Chou, and those born in the year of Chou see Wu; those born in the year of Zi see You, and those born in the year of You see Zi. These are all instances where the Five Phases are in reverse conflict, and it is most unfavorable if they mutually control each other. If the heavenly stem also falls in a tomb position, and is further combined with theInauspicious Spirit "Heaven's Center" (i.e., Kongwang), "Guanfu", and "Great Expenditure", then the person is likely to end up in the path of self-suspension.

丙子、癸未、癸丑上，帶咸池、金神、羊刃是也。更納音克身，決不可免。（丑為三可之分、未為井宿之居。）以上三殺共一歌：劫殺克身名【顛】墜，金神羊刃防同位，要知自縊最凶神，戌巳辰亥並寅未，子酉一例為凶殺，卯申丑午依前是，尤忌空亡兼墓鬼，官符大耗仍須避，丙子癸未並癸丑，感池金殺羊堪畏，五行更若來克身，一死懸空一溺水。

The term "Water Drowning Kill" refers to a situation where the person's fate includes the trigrams Bingzi, Guiwei, and Guichou, and these are further accompanied by Xianchi (which is Taohua, indicating alcohol and lust), the Metal God, and Yangren. If the Nayin Five Phases also come to harm the person, this water calamity is unavoidable. The original commentary states: "Chou is the place of the three rivers, and Wei is the position of the Well mansion, both related to water. The three killings of falling, hanging, and drowning in water are combined into a verse. When the killing star harms the person, it is called falling; one must also be cautious of the Metal God and Yangren being in the same position. One must know that hanging is the most凶ous divine evil; the method of pairing is戌 with巳, 辰 with亥, 寅 with未, 子 with酉, all of which are considered凶ous. Similarly,卯 with申 and丑 with午 are also considered凶ous according to the previous method. It is especially to be avoided if Kongwang is connected with墓鬼, and Guanfu and Da hao should also be avoided. Bingzi, Guiwei, and Guichou combined with Xianchi, the Metal God, and Yangren are all to be feared. If the Five Phases also harm the person, it will either be hanging by the neck or drowning in water."

巳酉丑申全氣見，從革局多皆掛劍，元亡金虎克刑身，【縱】不殺人身豈免。命中帶巳酉丑申全者是，又或重迭再巳酉丑亦是。若更犯官符、元辰、白虎、金神之類，五行刑剋者，主兇暴殺人或反為人害也。

"The 'Sword Killing' aspect refers to having the earthly branches of Si, You, Chou, and Shen in the birth chart, indicating complete metal energy. Those with metal energy forming the 'From Reform' pattern are often seen carrying swords. If there are also Yuanchen, Wangshen, Jinshen, and Baihu aspects that刑克 the birth chart or the body, even if they do not kill others themselves, they are likely to suffer a fatal accident. Anyone whose birth chart includes all four of Si, You, Chou, and Shen, or has Si, You, and Chou repeated, is considered to have this aspect. If they also have凶煞 such as Guanfu, Yuanchen, Baihu, and Jinshen, and the Five Phases are in conflict with each other, it indicates a violent and aggressive nature, possibly leading to killing others or being killed by others."

寅午戌全號天火，不見丙丁猶自可，五位都無一水神，生旺臨年災厄大。寅午戌全，而上有丙丁，五位中全不見水者，是也。有水者，非。年運至火氣生旺處，當防火災。

If the three branches Yin, Wu, and Xu are all present in the destiny, it is called "Heavenly Fire Kill." The rhyme says: if there is no fire in the heavenly stems, it is still acceptable; but if there is no water at all in the four pillars, and fire reaches its prosperous place, and the year or destiny also brings fire, then the calamity will be great. Specifically, if the three branches Yin, Wu, and Xu form the fire trinity, and the heavenly stems have either Bing or Ding, and there is no water at all in the entire chart, then it is called Heavenly Fire Kill; if there is water, it is not considered Heavenly Fire Kill. When the big year or destiny comes to a place where fire is strong and flourishing, one should be cautious of fire-related disasters.

官符落天中，是也。多邪誕不實。

"The 'False Speech Death Star' refers to 'Guanfu' exactly falling on 'Tianzhong' (which is Kongwang). People with this star in their chart tend to speak in a fanciful and unrealistic manner, their words being empty and unreliable."

貴人落天中，是也。或與天中連珠或與天中合，常有伶倫之態，好謳吟，伎藝人也。理愚歌云：貴人或落空亡裡，祿馬背違如不值，假饒性識甚聰明，男即伶倫女娼妓。

"The Ling Lun Sha" refers to the Tianyi Nobleman falling exactly on the Kongwang (void) or being connected in a series with the Kongwang, or combining with it. Such people often exhibit the mannerisms of performers and entertainers, enjoying singing and reciting poetry. They are mostly individuals who make a living through their skills. The "Li Yu Ge" states: If the Nobleman falls into the void, the Lu Spirit and the Post-horse will be as distant as if they do not exist at all; even with extraordinary talent, men may become performers, while women may become courtesans.

女命得戊午，男命得丙子，是也。女屬陰而喜於陽，命得戊午旺火為正陽，男屬陽而喜於陰，命得丙子旺水為正陰，是為陰陽和暢，故男得丙子平生多得美婦人也。女得戊午，平生多逢美男也。若日上逢之，男娶美麗婦人，女適端正之夫，大忌元辰、咸池同宮，不以男女皆淫蕩。如男得戊午多婦人相愛，女得丙子，多男子挑誘。更看有無貴賤格局，消息用之。（並燭神經）

"The Yin and Yang Kill" refers to a woman's chart having Wuwu and a man's chart having Bingzi. Women belong to Yin and prefer to receive Yang; the Wuwu in their chart is a strong fire, which perfectly matches the pure Yang energy. Men belong to Yang and prefer to receive Yin; the Bingzi in their chart is a strong water, which perfectly matches the pure Yin energy. In this way, Yin and Yang are in harmony and flow smoothly. Therefore, a man with Bingzi in his chart is likely to meet many beautiful women throughout his life; a woman with Wuwu in her chart is likely to meet many handsome men. If these two heavenly stems and earthly branches appear in the day pillar, the man will marry a beautiful wife and the woman will marry a decent husband. However, it is most undesirable if these two branches appear together with Yuanchen or Xianchi in the same palace, as this will lead to licentiousness regardless of gender. For example, a man with Wuwu in his chart will attract many women's affection, while a woman with Bingzi in her chart will be tempted by many men. In addition, one must also consider whether the entire birth chart is of high or low status, and use this information accordingly. All of the above is from the "Zhu Shen Jing."

寅午戌人見葵已、癸亥，巳酉丑人見丙申、丙寅，申子辰人見丁亥、丁巳，亥卯未人見壬寅、壬申。

"The true Wangshen" is a method of applying the Wangshen to specific heavenly stems and earthly branches. Those born in the Fire triad (Yin-Wu-Xu) encounter Gui Hai and Gui Hai when they see the combination of Gui and Hai; those born in the Metal triad (Si-You-Chou) encounter Bing Yin and Bing Yin when they see the combination of Bing and Yin; those born in the Water triad (Shen-Zi-Chen) encounter Ding Hai and Ding Si when they see the combination of Ding and Hai; and those born in the Wood triad (Hai-Mao-Wei) encounter Ren Yin and Ren Shen when they see the combination of Ren and Yin. Whenever these combinations appear in a person's birth chart, they are treated as Wangshen for interpretation.

子丑人己時，寅人庚時，卯辰人辛時，巳人壬時，午未人癸時，申人丙時，酉戍人丁時，亥人戍時。犯之者遭刑，有疾，四時休敗，不利四時，旺者富也。

The Star of Punishment is determined by the birth year's branch and the time of birth. Those born in the year of Zi or Chou are paired with the Ji hour, those born in the year of Yin are paired with the Geng hour, those born in the year of Mao or Chen are paired with the Xin hour, those born in the year of Si are paired with the Ren hour, those born in the year of Wu or Wei are paired with the Gui hour, those born in the year of Shen are paired with the Bing hour, those born in the year of You or Xu are paired with the Ding hour, and those born in the year of Hai are paired with the Xu hour. Those who encounter this Star of Punishment will suffer punishment and often have illnesses. If the energy is in a weak and confined state during the four seasons, they will have difficulties throughout the year. Conversely, if the energy is strong and flourishing, they may become wealthy.

寅午戍人辰時，巳酉丑人未時，申子辰人戍時，亥卯未人丑時。辰戍丑人未時有丁者好命。（並燭神經）玉門關集有頭戴殺云：寅午戍人在辰，巳酉丑人在未，申子辰人在戍，亥卯未人在丑，生日生時犯之，損妻破業。

The method for "difficult situation" is: those born in the years of Yin, Wu, and Xu encounter the hour of Chen, those born in the years of Si, You, and Chou encounter the hour of Wei, those born in the years of Shen, Zi, and Chen encounter the hour of Xu, and those born in the years of Hai, Mao, and Wei encounter the hour of Chou. If someone born in the years of Chen, Xu, or Chou encounters the hour of Wei and their heavenly stem carries Ding, it is considered a good fate. The above is from the "Zhu Jing Jing." The "Yumenguan Ji" establishes another "head killer," with the same method: those born in the years of Yin, Wu, and Xu are associated with Chen, those born in the years of Si, You, and Chou are associated with Wei, those born in the years of Shen, Zi, and Chen are associated with Xu, and those born in the years of Hai, Mao, and Wei are associated with Chou; if this is encountered in the day or hour, it indicates harm to the wife and destruction of family fortune.
