On Homicidal Influences

Reading mode

Overall Paraphrased Meaning
Malignant spirits and baleful influences such as the Four Killings, Five Ghosts, Six Harms, Seven Injuries, and Heaven Net and Earth Mesh, if met with a concentration of auspicious deities in the fate chart, can transform misfortune into blessing. However, if these malignant influences overlap, danger lurks everywhere🌪. Monk Ying's note: The Four Killings refer to Chen, Xu, Chou, and Wei (or the clashes and robberies of Yin, Shen, Si, and Hai). The Five Ghosts are the ghosts of the Five Elements. The Six Harms refer to conflicts such as Yin and Si harming each other. The Seven Injuries include baleful deities like the Robbery Killing. Xu and Hai form the Heaven Net, while Chen and Si form the Earth Mesh. If the malignant influences clash with the Day Master, danger arises; if auspicious deities generate and support, celebration follows. Wang's supplement: If the Three Primes, Nine Palaces, and Five Elements are in a state of growth and prosperity, they can neutralize the malignant nature. If the Four Pillars are in decay and further afflicted by malignant influences, calamity is inevitable.

【Jia Sha Chi Qiu, Relatives Weep at the Funeral】
Chen, Xu, Chou, and Wei are called the Four Great Killings (also known as Three Mounds and Tombs). If the Five Elements enter the tomb and are further met with the Yang Blade🌑, such as a Ji-Si Wood命 encountering a Ji-Wei day, this constitutes the Three Mounds of the same element plus the Yang Blade, indicating that relatives will weep at a funeral. Example: A Yi-Wei person encountering Ji-Chou. For a Metal命, Chou is the mound and tomb; Fire and Earth in a Fan Yin (opposition) break the命. If the body and ghost clash, it is inauspicious.

The Clashing and Harming Relationship Between Baleful Influences and the Day Master Must Be Weighed: If the baleful influences clash with the body, the disaster is severe; if the body clashes with the baleful influences, the disaster is light. Specific analysis must be combined with the fate chart. (Luo Lu Zi)

Manifestations of Ba Zhuan and Jiu Chou:

Ba Zhuan (e.g., Jia-Yin, Yi-Mao, Ji-Wei, etc.) primarily indicates indulgence in wine and lust🌺, growing old drunken in pleasure quarters; repeated offenses show no distinction between close and distant relations. If seen in the Day and Hour Pillars, it indicates improper conduct of wives, concubines, and children.
Jiu Chou (nine pairs including Ren-Zi, Wu-Wu, etc.) primarily indicates violent death⚰️. For women, it indicates peril in childbirth; for men, it indicates sudden, unnatural death.

Fan Yin Encountering Inverted Food: For example, Jia-Zi day meeting Ren-Wu hour (Fan Yin + Partial Seal Seizing Food), indicates short lifespan, harm to relatives, dissipation of family wealth, and delusional speech.

Meeting the Peak of Prosperity (Lin Guan) with Robbery Killing/Death Blossom: For example, Bing-Xu day with Hai hour (Peach Blossom + Death Blossom), inevitably indicates a person who wanders indulging in flowers and wine🍷.

🧠 In-Depth Understanding

Core Concepts 💡

Baleful influences are not absolutely malignant; their nature must be judged comprehensively based on the growth and prosperity of the Five Elements and the configuration of the Four Pillars. The core of the fate chart lies in "Five Elements energy" and the "interaction of deities and influences." Auspicious and inauspicious outcomes can transform due to control and transformation.

Modern Interpretation 🌟

Symbolic Meaning of Baleful Influences: Heaven Net and Earth Mesh metaphorically represent systemic constraints🌐; Robbery Killing and Death Blossom暗示 impulsive risks; Peach Blossom reveals emotional relationships.
Dialectical View of Deities and Influences: Modern metaphysics emphasizes "control and transformation" — for example, the Heavenly Virtue Nobleman can resolve disasters, while Prosperity, Horse, and Empty Void require replenishing luck.
Areas of Manifestation: Ba Zhuan and Jiu Chou correspond to modern psychological addictions and legal risks; Fan Yin and Inverted Food are related to family stability and health management.

Practical Value ⚡

When the fate chart has overlapping baleful influences, caution is needed in related areas (such as investment, marriage), and resolution can be achieved through Five Elements reinforcement (e.g., adjusting the Useful God).
During periods of衰运 (declining luck), meeting baleful influences calls for active risk avoidance; during periods of生旺运 (growth and prosperity luck), challenges can be appropriately undertaken.

Philosophical Reflection 🤔

The essence of baleful influences is a symbolic expression of energy conflict, revealing the dialectical principle that "fortune and misfortune are interdependent." Metaphysical analysis must transcend mere labels of auspicious and inauspicious, focusing instead on energy flow and personal cultivation.

Scholar Li Juming proposed the "Theory of Modern Mapping of Deities and Influences," correlating traditional deities and influences with modern social phenomena (e.g., comparing Heaven Net and Earth Mesh to credit systems).
