Shen Feng Tong Kao — Comprehensive Study of Destiny
Overall Meaning Translation
This chapter systematically compiles metaphysical verses, covering core concepts such as Five Element patterns, fortune auspiciousness or inauspiciousness, six-kin conflicts, health, and longevity. It reveals metaphysical mysteries through concise rhymes, emphasizing the dialectical relationships among the mutual generation and restraint of the Five Elements, the configuration of the Ten Gods, and the depth of solar terms, providing mnemonic guidance for practical divination.
Yin Earth Pattern (primarily Ji Earth):
Ji Earth born in the months of Si, You, Chou (Snake, Rooster, Ox combination) forms the "Virtue and Elegance" pattern, indicating profound blessings 🌱. However, encountering excessive Fire leads to parched Earth, resulting in many hardships; clashes in annual cycles (e.g., Mao clashing with You, Wu breaking Chou) lead to short-lived wealth and nobility.
Yin Wood Pattern (primarily Yi Wood):
Yi Wood encountering Chou and Si (Ox and Snake combination), born in the You month (eighth month with strong Metal), damages Wood's roots, leading to unstable official status and fortune 📉. Even with talent, it often results in empty fame.
Yin Fire Pattern (primarily Ding Fire):
Ding Fire encountering the Metal combination of Si, You, Chou, with weak Wood in the original chart (insufficient support), shortens longevity 🔥. Fame and fortune fluctuate greatly, and overindulgence often leads to loss of blessings.
Yin Water Pattern (primarily Gui Water):
Gui Water encountering You and Chou (Metal combination generating Water) causes Water to overflow 🌊, leading to delays. Success in fame and fortune is elusive, with gains and losses occurring swiftly; Earth is needed to control Water for stability.
Yin Metal Pattern (primarily Xin Metal):
Xin Metal follows the principle of transformation (You and Chou Metal combination), indicating nobility and blessings 💎. However, encountering excessive Fire melts Metal, often leading to a turn toward monastic life or artistic pursuits.
Water Pattern (Ren and Gui complete): Born in autumn or winter when Water is strong, with auspicious deities, leads to early prominence 🌊.
Earth Pattern (Wu and Ji complete): Earth is strong across all seasons, with Xin and You appearing, indicating exceptional intelligence ⛰.
Wood Pattern (Jia and Yi complete): Wood is strong with rooted energy, and if the official star is favorable, official status is achieved 🌳.
Metal Pattern (Geng and Xin complete): With noble qualities like Geng Chen or Geng Xu, clashes lead to prosperity 💎.
Fire Pattern (Bing and Ding complete): Strong Fire clashes with Wealth and Official stars, leading to wealth and prominence 🔥.
Unfavorable Cycles: Competing for wealth with比劫 (peer stars), legal entanglements involving others;劫财 (wealth-taking) and羊刃 (yang blade) indicate external solidity but internal weakness; mixed官杀 (official and killing stars) cause stagnation and difficulty ❌.
Favorable Cycles: Three combinations of Wealth and Official stars at the right time lead to success in relationships and career;贵人 (noble person) assistance brings smooth progress ✅.
Paternal Conflict: Strong比劫 and羊刃 indicate weak paternal bonds; if the parental palace combines with strong stars (e.g.,印绶 seal star), it instead indicates longevity 👨🦳.
Marital Conflict: Weak Wealth star encountering羊刃, and further encountering the spouse's tomb in annual cycles (e.g., Xu as Fire's tomb), signals the loss of a spouse 💔.
