Body and Life Auspicious Patterns, Body and Life Inauspicious Patterns - Volume Four
Overall Translation
This chapter elaborates on the criteria for judging the auspicious and inauspicious patterns in astrological fate analysis, divided into two major categories: "Auspicious Patterns" (favorable configurations) and "Inauspicious Patterns" (unfavorable configurations). Auspicious patterns primarily focus on the placement of the Body Lord and Life Lord stars in favorable positions such as nobleman, prosperity, or flourishing palaces, as well as their positive interactions with official and fortune stars. Inauspicious patterns, on the other hand, emphasize unfavorable configurations such as the Body and Life Lord stars falling into decline, being afflicted, entering weak palaces, or being conjoined with malefic stars. These judgments are based on the positions of the stars, their interrelationships, and their seasonal strength or weakness to comprehensively infer an individual's destiny in terms of nobility, wealth, and poverty.

- Star Interactions: The relationships between the main stars and auspicious stars like nobleman, prosperity, and official seal determine the level of the pattern.
