正印，乃五行之正库，金命见乙丑，木癸未，火甲戌，水土壬辰、丙辰是也。《言谈》云：“生逢正印，必拜玉堂。”《妙选》云：“五行入垣，官居五府。”可见得本家正印为贵。本主同德为上，帝座为中，胎月为下。主人重厚魁梧，功名昭著。本家印又得贵格扶之，更妙。若木得水印，火得木印，多兼他权外财。若身克印，或印克身，废而复兴。若水人得火印，火人带水印，次于本家印，然须本主有旺气，方吉。若克破别无福救，或空亡，只作清闲道僧、无成举人。若五行有清气，则绝世高人；有煞则贫贱。
有贵人夹印，如丙丁火命以甲戌为正印，却得酉亥夹之，酉亥乃丙丁贵人；壬癸水命以壬辰为正印，却得卯已夹之，卯已乃壬癸贵人。有华盖印，如亥卯未得癸未之类。
有文章印，如戊寅见癸未，辛已见甲戌，庚申见乙丑，癸亥见丙辰，乙亥见壬辰，乃纳音克身，干神复制。戊午得癸未，庚子得乙丑，丁酉得壬辰，己卯得申戌，辛酉得丙辰，干神制支神合之类。
诸印要逢库墓，若生旺扶助互换，禄马贵人并相合者，至贵之命。最忌刑冲破害，三合六合上见鬼，如甲戌日得癸酉时，则减力。水命人得本家印无益；得木印损气；得土印，支干有交涉者，名官印；无交涉者，名鬼印。
又有福聚印，如年、月、日、时、胎五位俱无气衰败，得正印偏印俱在此，印上或库或旺，虽有煞神，至是受制，此之谓福聚印。
有祸聚印，如癸巳人带壬辰印，柱多逢水，俱墓于辰，则癸巳受煞；以巳为命，巳火遇多则本命病，此之谓祸聚印。
有破福成祸印，如水人得水印，或月日时多带土来，本家印见鬼盛，是谓破福成祸。
有带煞印，印中见贵煞，如壬子见壬辰、丙辰，子至辰谓之华盖，壬人见辰为贵。若印中反克本命，无福神往还，名带煞，主凶。有临空印，乃印落空亡，支无六合，见官贵，至贱而无成也。有自刑印，如庚戌人带乙丑，金人见金印固好，丑戌相刑，以金刑金，此类不如无。虽有少福，亦终贱。余准此推。
凡论印，更得真五行与纳音同气，尤妙。但主少安逸，不利六亲，难为子息。
The True Seal is the core hub of the Five Elements' energy. It is akin to Metal Life meeting Yi Chou (Metal Treasury), Wood Life meeting Gui Wei (Wood Treasury), Fire Life meeting Jia Xu (Fire Treasury), and Water/Earth Life meeting Ren Chen or Bing Chen (Water Treasury). Ancient texts emphasize: "Those whose fate carries a True Seal easily enter high-level decision-making circles"; "Those whose Five Elements return to their proper positions can hold important authority." Thus, the True Seal corresponding to one's natal Five Elements is the most precious—among which:
Those with a True Seal typically possess a steady temperament and achieve significant accomplishments. It is even better if the natal Seal is further enhanced by noble patterns. Special combinations include:
If the Seal Star is overcome/broken without remedy, or falls into Empty Void, one may become an unrecognized scholar or freelancer. Sufficient purity of the Five Elements' energy can lead to becoming a transcendent wise person; if mixed with malignant influences, poverty and low status result.
Nobleman Clasping the Seal
Example: For Bing/Ding Fire Life, Jia Xu is the True Seal 🔥, if the Earthly Branches see You and Hai clasping Xu (You and Hai are noblemen for Bing/Ding)
Canopy Seal
Example: Hai-Mao-Wei Wood formation obtaining Gui Wei Seal 🌱
Literary Seal
Example: Wu Yin meeting Gui Wei (Nayin Earth restrains Water, Heavenly Stems Wu and Gui combine)
The True Seal symbolizes a stable support system, valued for its "pure suitability":
The essence of the True Seal is the accumulation of "trust capital." Ancient texts emphasizing "unfavorable for six relatives" actually refer to over-reliance on external validation potentially leading to neglect of building close relationships—contemporary individuals need to balance professional achievement with life's warmth even more.

Note: All conclusions require dialectical analysis combined with the specific fate configuration, avoiding judgment based on a single star.
