Chapter 87 of 200
三命通会
This chapter analyzes the auspicious and inauspicious patterns formed by the combination of the twelve monthly Earthly Branches and Day Masters. It emphasizes that the core influence of the Monthly Command on a destiny lies in the interplay of the Five Elements (mutual generation and restraint) and the clarity or turbidity of the pattern. Modern interpretation should incorporate changes in social structure (e.g., diversification of professions) and updates in values (changes in the forms of pursuing fame and wealth), eliminate elements of fatalism, and focus on the laws governing the interaction of Five Elements energies.
Jia/Yi Day: Zi water acts as the Seal Star. Auspicious if the Officer Star appears to protect the Seal; inauspicious if the Wealth Star damages the Seal. Modern Interpretation: The Seal Star governs knowledge and benefactors. Advised to delve deeply into a professional field. Beware of letting utilitarian motives (Wealth damaging Seal) harm long-term development.
Bing/Ding Day: Zi water acts as the Proper Officer / Seven Killings. The honor of an official position requires a strong Day Master to bear it. Bing Day favors mutual generation between Wealth and Officer. Ding Day's Seven Killings need control or transformation (e.g., through combination with the Seal). Modern Interpretation: Officer/Killings symbolize responsibility and pressure. A strong Day Master can handle management positions; a weak Day Master requires teamwork to resolve pressure.
Wu/Ji Day: Zi water acts as the Proper Wealth. Wealth appearing clearly and a strong Day Master lead to prosperity. Modern Interpretation: The Wealth Star is favorable when manifested in one's career path. Avoid partnership disputes (Peer Star robbing Wealth).
Geng/Xin Day: Zi water is the Longevity Wealth. If Wealth does not appear, it becomes the Hurting Officer restraining the Officer. Core Concept: Wealth is the source of sustenance; without it, talent is difficult to monetize. Modern Interpretation: Need to generate wealth through skills (Hurting Officer). Having the Seven Killings in the Hour Pillar (e.g., Geng Day with Bing Hour) can transform pressure into motivation.

Ren/Gui Day: Zi Month is the Emperor's Prosperity / Establishing the Base. An overly strong Day Master can conversely diminish fame and wealth. Practical Value: Having the Seven Killings in the Hour Pillar (e.g., Ren Day with Wu Hour) can stimulate breakthroughs in career.
Wu/Ji Day: Those born within seven days after Lesser Cold have Remaining Qi Wealth; after this period, the destiny tends to be ordinary. Modern Interpretation: Time windows affect opportunity capture; initial resource accumulation is crucial.
Geng/Xin Day: Chou is the Metal Treasury. A strong Day Master means less illness. Philosophical Reflection: A treasury symbolizes reserves; steady accumulation and a later breakthrough are superior to seeking quick success.
Jia Day: Yin is the Establishing the Base. Yi Day gains prosperity. Modern Interpretation: A strong Day Master needs to be paired with the Seven Killings in the Hour Pillar (e.g., Jia Day with Geng Shen Hour) to form a proper pattern.

Bing/Ding Day: Yin wood acts as the Seal Star. Mutual generation between Officer and Seal benefits academic pursuits. Avoid revealing Wealth: Beware of commercial interests interfering with original intentions.
Geng/Xin Day: Mao wood acts as the Proper Wealth. Wealth appearing clearly and a strong Day Master lead to wealth. Risk Warning: Peer Stars appearing clearly (partnerships) easily lead to financial loss.
Ren/Gui Day: Chen is the Water Treasury. A strong Day Master means less illness. Modern Optimization: Having the Seven Killings in the Hour Pillar (e.g., Gui Day with Si or Wu Hour) can activate career ambition.
Bing Day: Si is the Establishing the Base. Ding Day is prosperous. Key Point: Having the Partial Officer in the Hour Pillar (e.g., Bing Day with Ren Chen Hour) elevates an ordinary destiny pattern to a management-oriented one.
Geng Day: Si fire acts as the Seven Killings. A weak Day Master without control can easily lead to anxiety. Scientific Rationality: The Seven Killings require transformation through the Hurting Officer or Seal Star, corresponding to pressure management training.
Wu/Ji Day: Wu fire contains Ding, acting as the Seal Star. Having the Officer and Seal appear clearly benefits cultural/educational endeavors. Avoid Wealth without Seal: Prevent excessive commercialization of knowledge.
Ren/Gui Day: Those born within seven days after Lesser Heat have Base and Horse in the Same Home (Wealth and Officer both excellent). Empirical Attitude: The critical point of birth time has a substantive impact on the pattern, requiring precise chart calculation for verification.
Jia Day: Shen metal acts as the Seven Killings. Combining the Kill (e.g., Jia combining with Ji) leads to nobility. Decision Reference: When the Seven Killings are uncontrolled, choosing cooperation (combination) is superior to confrontation (restraint).
Yi Day: You metal acts as the Seven Killings. A strong Day Master with a combination can transform the Kill into authority. Modern Scenario: Highly competitive industries require leveraging advantageous situations (combining the Kill) to break through.
Geng/Xin Day: Xu contains Mixed Qi Officer. Having the Officer and Seal appear clearly leads to nobility. Discarding Dross: The concept "no clash, no activation" needs dialectical viewing; modern times emphasize sustained accumulation more.
Bing Day: Hai water acts as the Seven Killings. Ding Day gets the Proper Officer. Cultural Heritage: The Yin-Yang attributes (Bing, Yang Fire, favors combining the Kill; Ding, Yin Fire, favors the Proper Officer) reflect the essence of energy interaction.
