Chapter 188 of 200
三命通会
When the Yi Wood Day Master is born during the Jia Shen hour (3-5 PM), the fate chart forms a pattern of the Officer Star (Geng Metal) and the Seal Star (Ren Water) generating each other. The Shen (Monkey) branch contains Geng Metal (Officer) and Ren Water (Seal), which can nourish the Yi Wood Day Master. If the fate chart aligns with months or luck periods of strong Metal and Water energy 🌊, nobility is easily attained; conversely, if the Day Master is weak and the Officer Star is excessively strong, even if one achieves prominence, it is difficult to maintain long-term.
Specific manifestations for each Yi Day:
Poetic Formula Translation:
When a Yi Wood Day Master encounters the Jia Shen hour, it is like gaining the support of the "Longevity" and "Traveling Horse" 🌱 stars, with noble people providing assistance. A commoner can rise to prominence. This pattern gains appreciation from highly capable individuals, and ordinary people also receive opportunities (though clashes and penalties can diminish the fortune). When the Day Master is strong and enters auspicious luck periods, wealth and official status flourish 🔥, the household becomes illustrious, and life advances to a higher stage.
The Officer-Seal mutual generation structure emphasizes "authority requires the support of knowledge". The Shen hour's "Traveling Horse" 🌬️ symbolizes opportunities for change. Nobility requires alignment with the Five Elements' flow in the Month Branch to be realized.
"Officer-Seal mutual generation" reveals the symbiotic relationship between power and responsibility: the Officer Star (rules) requires the Seal Star (wisdom) to mitigate its oppressive nature, similar to the balance between "systems" and "humanistic care" in modern management.
