Yue Tan Fu — Rhapsody of Monthly Discourses
Overall Interpretation
Being born during the Chou (1–3 AM) or Xu (7–9 PM) hours, or having the Earthly Branches of the day pillar as Chou or Xu, often suggests difficulties in childbirth or a shallow bond with children 🌱. The combination of the Wei (1–3 PM) and Chen (7–9 AM) hours similarly indicates uncertainty in childbearing and upbringing. A clash between the Zi (11 PM–1 AM) and Wu (11 AM–1 PM) branches in the month and day pillars may suggest a tendency toward hunchback or leg-related issues; a clash between the Yin (3–5 AM) and Shen (3–5 PM) branches in the year and month pillars may indicate hearing or speech impairments 👂. A double Wu clash often leads to marital instability, with the possibility of the wife remarrying 💔. Three Geng elements meeting Wei and Ji symbolizes a weak bond with the father; being born on a Xin day during the Zi hour implies innate talent ✨; a Jiazi day paired with the Zi hour indicates a fair and upright character ⚖️; a Jihai day encountering Dingmao suggests a deep and cunning mind 🦊. Those born on a Chou day during the Chou hour are typically honest and fair; those born in the You month on a Mao day possess a gentle yet sly nature 🤔. A Zi month, Mao day, and Chen hour may indicate a spouse with a difficult temperament; a Chen month and Chen hour suggest a weak bond with children and potential lack of support in old age ⚰️. Clashes between Chen, Xu, Chou, and Wei may lead to sensory defects; clashes between Zi, Wu, Mao, and You often result in paralysis or lameness 🦽. Women born in Yin years under the Yi Wood element are more likely to remain widowed 👩🦳; men born in You years under a Fire day have a higher probability of being widowers 👨🦳. The presence of four malignant Sha spirits often leads to widowhood; repeated Yang Blade signs may result in childlessness for men ❌. Double Blades in the year and month pillars can harm the wife, while intertwined Blades and penalties indicate outward strength but inner weakness ⚔️. The叠加 of three penalties and three Blades, combined with a weak life force, often leads to loneliness 👤. A Jia day meeting a Xin official promises prosperity and glory 🌟; a Si day with a Shen palace trapped in greed leads to inevitable poverty 💸. A strong fate without the Seal or Official stars tends toward monastic or Taoist paths 🙏; a strong fate without Wealth or Sha stars also leads to a life of asceticism ☯️. Clashes between the year and month pillars combined with harmony in the day and hour pillars often indicate butchers or wine sellers 🔪; harmony in the year and month pillars with clashes in the day and hour pillars often leads to lowly occupations 🧹.
