From the classics

十恶者，譬律法中人，犯十恶重罪，在所不赦，大败者，譬兵法中与敌交战，大败无一生还…六甲旬中十个日值禄人空亡。

——《三命通会》

What it means

Shi'e Dabai (十恶大败) refers to the ten days Jia-chen, Yi-si and the like, whose Lu falls exactly on the decade's Void—e.g., Jia's Lu is at Yin, but in the Jia-chen decade Yin and Mao are void. One who carries it lacks the Lu to sustain him and wastes property, hard put to save; yet with inner auspicious stars and noble qi in support, it too can turn ill into good.
