Chong He Lu Ma (Impact and Combination of Salary and Horse)

Chong He Lu Ma (Impact and Combination of Salary and Horse)

📜 Overall Paraphrase

For individuals born on a Jia (甲) day, if the Bazi lacks You (酉), Xin (辛), or Chou (丑) but contains multiple Mao (卯) characters, Mao can impact You (You is Jia's direct official), while Si (巳) can combine with Chou (Chou contains Xin official), forming a pattern of "virtually inviting the official star." It favors Ren (壬) and Gui (癸) water for nourishment and dislikes the appearance of solid characters like You or Xin, which can disrupt the virtual pattern. If there is only one Mao character, but it coordinates with punishment or combination to activate the official star, it is also considered a favorable fate.

For individuals born on a Yi (乙) day without Shen (申) or Geng (庚), one can use Yin (寅) to impact Shen (Shen is Yi's direct official), or Zi (子) and Chen (辰) to combine and arch the Shen official, or Si (巳) to punish out the Shen official. It favors Ren and Gui for support and dislikes Shen or Geng filling in solidly.

For individuals born on a Wu (戊) day without Mao (卯) or Yi (乙) in the pillars, one can use You (酉) to impact Mao (Mao is Wu's direct official), or Hai (亥) and Wei (未) to combine into the Mao official. It favors wealth stars Ren and Gui and seal stars Bing (丙) and Ding (丁), and dislikes the clear appearance of Mao or Yi.

For individuals born on a Ji (己) day without Yin (寅) or Jia (甲), one can use Shen (申) to impact Yin (Yin is Ji's official star), or Wu (午) and Xu (戌) to combine into the Yin official. It favors wealth and seal stars and dislikes Yin or Jia filling in solidly.

The patterns for individuals born on Bing (丙) or Ding (丁) days are called Dao Chong Lu Ma (Inverted Impact of Salary and Horse); patterns for those born on Geng (庚), Xin (辛), Ren (壬), or Gui (癸) days are called Fei Tian Lu Ma (Soaring Salary and Horse); the principles are analogous.

⚠️ For the above four stems' impact and combination patterns, it is most critical to avoid the official star being clearly exposed or damaged; having the official star strong and flourishing in the monthly branch is favorable. If the force of impact and combination is not interfered with by other earthly branches, high status may be achieved; if the pattern is deficient, achievements diminish accordingly; those with a broken pattern may only live near nobility for livelihood, with severe cases leading to poverty and hardship. Preferences and taboos for annual and major cycles follow the same logic.

Wu Bao Jing supplement: For a Yi day, if the pillars lack Shen or Geng, having Zi and Chen can directly combine to bring out the Geng official from within Shen (no need for Yin impact), and having Yin is even better; the impact method is used only when Zi and Chen are absent.
Special Day Pillars:

• Strong Impact on Salary Origin Group: Jia Yin 🌲🐯, Yi Mao 🌲🐇, Bing Wu 🔥🐴, Ding Wei 🔥🐐, Wu Wu ⛰🐴, Ji Wei ⛰🐐, Geng Shen ⚔️🐒, Xin You ⚔️🐓, Ren Zi 🌊🐭, Gui Hai 🌊🐗 (self strong and vigorous, impact on salary is most forceful)
• Weak Impact on Salary Origin Group: Ren Chen 🌊🐲, Ren Xu 🌊🐕, Wu Chen ⛰🐲, Ji Chou ⛰🐂 (impact force is relatively weak)
• Case Study: Emperor Shenzong of Ming's Bazi: Gui Hai, Xin You, Gui Hai, Xin You. Gui Hai 🌊🐗 appears twice, strong and vigorous, impacting out the Bing wealth and Wu official from within Si (巳). Furthermore, the two You characters combine and retain the Si fire, making the pattern exquisite.

🧩 Core Concepts 💡

1. Virtually Inviting the Official Star: Through earthly branch impact and combination, indirectly obtain the official star (Lu Ma) not present in the Bazi, essentially a form of "energy borrowing" within the pattern.
2. Conditions for Balance:
   • Avoid the official star being clearly present ("filling solidly" renders the virtual pattern ineffective)
   • Require supportive elements (e.g., Jia days need Ren and Gui water)
   • Impact and combination must not be entangled (e.g., when Mao impacts You, if Xu combines with Mao, the impact force weakens)

🌟 Modern Interpretation

Changes in Social Structure

• In ancient times, the "official star" corresponded to official career and status; in modern times, it can be extended to managerial authority, professional certification, social influence.
• The "impact and combination" mechanism is analogous to resource integration capability: e.g., leveraging cross-border cooperation (impact) or network connections (combination) to obtain promotion opportunities.

Optimization of Decision-Making Logic

⚡ Practical Value

1. Career Development:

   • If one's Bazi conforms to the virtually inviting official star pattern, it is suitable for fields requiring "leveraging momentum" (e.g., consulting, resource brokering).
   • When annual or major cycles activate impact and combination (e.g., Mao year for Jia day individuals), it is a key window period for breaking through career levels.

2. Risk Warning:

   • For those with a broken pattern (e.g., official star clearly present), avoid blindly pursuing high positions; it is advisable to deeply cultivate technical roles.
   • The Emperor Shenzong case suggests: Strong and vigorous Day Master + Triple Combination is necessary to harness the virtually invited energy; ordinary people need to rationally assess their own conditions.

🤔 Philosophical Reflection

• Being and Non-being Generate Each Other: The virtually inviting pattern embodies the Eastern philosophy of "creating something from nothing," emphasizing the value of hidden resources.
• Dynamic Balance: Impact and combination are instantaneous energy linkages, requiring coordination with long-term accumulation (e.g., Ren and Gui support), warning that those seeking quick success and instant benefit are prone to breaking the pattern.
