先贤有云:老而无夫曰寡,幼而无父曰孤,此其义也。辰谓星辰,宿谓星宿,指其神也。人命犯此星辰,则孤寡如是。如亥子丑逐方三位,进前一辰见寅为孤,退后一辰见戌为寡。又过角为孤,退角为寡。其余三方皆依此推。乃阴阳惆怅之义。且夫寅为春始,辰为春末,巳为夏始,未为夏末,申为秋始,戌为秋末,亥为冬始,丑为冬末,皆阴阳支离之神,四时代谢之方。《三车》云:造物中以生我者为母,克我者为夫,我克者为妻。亥子丑属北方水位,水用金为母,金绝于寅,是母绝也;用火为妻,火墓为戌,是妻墓也。巳午未,南方火位,火用木为母,木绝在申;用水为夫,水墓在辰。寅卯辰属东方木位,木用水为母,水绝在巳;用金为夫,金墓在丑。是取母绝为孤辰,夫墓、妻墓为寡宿,其义尤切。《珞录子》云:“骨肉中道分离,孤寡犹嫌于隔角。”《玉门集》云:“寅申巳亥为角,辰戌丑未为隔。进者为阳,不利父;退者为阴,不利母。”又云:“在阳宫妨父,在阴宫妨母。如寅卯辰人,巳为孤,丑为寡,寅辰为阳之位,丑巳为阴之位。男女生命见之,虽亲生儿女,多不和顺。”王氏云:“男命生于妻绝之中而逢孤辰,平生难于婚偶;女命生于夫绝之中而遇寡宿,屡嫁不能偕老。”如辛丑人得庚寅,寅为丑孤辰,丑为寅寡宿,寅丑互为寡宿。隔角言丑寅中有艮卦隔,乾坤艮巽四犹之角也。
《烛神经》云:“凡人命犯孤寡,主形孤骨露,面无和气,不利六亲。生旺稍可,死绝尤甚。驿马并,放荡他乡;空亡并,幼小无倚;丧吊并,父母相继而亡。一生多逢重丧迭祸,骨肉伶仃,单寒不利。入贵格,赘婿妇家;入贱格,移流未免。”《鬼谷遗文》云:“连属不言孤寡,如亥得寅戌,寅得丑巳;或支干朝会包裹贵人,虽犯孤寡,不以孤寡论。”《广录》云:“井栏斜冲,是孤辰寡宿。”更天干带倒食,谓之井栏倒食。若巳午未人再生夏三月,是带两重孤寡,主克妻害子,少六亲,不聚财,多生女;更带诸凶煞,主不令终。《珞录子》云:“凭阴察其阳祸,岁星莫犯于孤辰;恃阳鉴以阴灾,天年忌逢于寡宿。”盖言小运、太岁不可犯之,阳以孤辰为重,阴以寡宿为重。
Overall Paraphrase
The ancients believed: losing a husband in old age is called "widowhood" (gua), and losing a father in childhood is called "orphanhood" (gu). Solitary Star (Guchen) and Lonely Lodge (Guasu) symbolize these meanings. "Chen" and "Su" refer to astrological deities. If a person's destiny encounters these stars, it tends to manifest signs of loneliness. The calculation rules are as follows:
For Water (Hai, Zi, Chou), Metal is its mother. Metal is exhausted at Yin (mother exhausted → solitary); Fire is its wife. Fire is entombed at Xu (wife entombed → lonely).
The other directions follow by analogy based on the Five Elements' generation and restraint cycles: mother exhaustion is Solitary Star, husband/wife entombment is Lonely Lodge.
Solitary Star and Lonely Lodge reflect tendencies toward detachment in interpersonal relationships. Their essence is the embodiment of the Five Elements' generation and restraint at specific spatiotemporal nodes. For example, Yin (Wood) exhausts Metal (Water's mother), Xu (Earth) entombs Fire (Water's wife), revealing periodic scarcity of resources (mother) and partners (wife/husband).
Relationship Essence:
Key Indicators:
| Destiny Pattern Feature | Real-World Manifestation |
|---|---|
| Solitary/Lonely + Horse 🌬 | Drifting far from home, weak sense of belonging |
| Solitary/Lonely + Void 🌀 | Lack of support systems in early life |
| Solitary/Lonely + Mourning ⚰️ | Broken family ties or major life upheavals |
If the minor fate/year encounters Solitary Star (for men in Yang years) or Lonely Lodge (for women in Yin years), avoid major relationship decisions (partnerships, marriage/romance) and instead focus on personal growth.
Solitary and Lonely stars reveal humanity's eternal yearning for connection. The so-called "Yin-Yang melancholy" is essentially the process of an individual seeking balance within the rhythms of the cosmos—loneliness is not necessarily a flaw but can be an opportunity for introspection.
Li Juming's King of Fate proposes: Those with Solitary Star and Lonely Lodge often possess strong artistic perception (e.g., the creativity of Yin, Shen, Si, Hai, the "Four Birth Positions") and can transform loneliness into a creative advantage.
Original Case: A person with Xin Chou encountering Geng Yin. Yin is the Solitary Star for Chou; Chou is the Lonely Lodge for Yin.
This chart shows mutual presence of Solitary and Lonely, indicating thin kinship ties. However, Geng Metal appears on the Stem (Rob Wealth). If the modern occupation is team-oriented (e.g., scientific research, artistic groups), it can resolve isolation.
Extended Deduction:
Need to be mindful of emotional overload (Fire blazing, Earth parched). Can be improved through regular routine (harmonizing Fire and Water) and public service activities (draining Fire to generate Earth).
