阳者，阴阳之阳，刃者，刀刃之刃，即禄前一位，言旺越其分，故险。窃详甲人见卯，卯中有乙木，乙为甲弟，能劫其兄之财，冲去酉中辛官，合其庚妻，庚乃甲之七煞，劫财冲官合熬，所以至凶。惟甲丙戊庚壬五阳干有刃，乙丁己辛癸五阴干无刃，故曰阳刃。惟见伤官与阳刃同祸，故乙见丙亦谓之刃，以丙伤其庚官，合辛煞，克其乙木，阴金克阴木至毒，所以凶与阳刃同。阳刃有三，有劫财刃，甲见乙是也，不利财官格，有护禄刃；甲见卯是也，大利归禄格；有背禄刃，乙丙是也，大利去官留煞局。
《喜忌篇》云：劫财阳刃，切忌时逢，岁运并临，灾殃立至，独阳刃以时言，重于年月日也。假令甲日生人，时上见乙卯，此是真刃，命中既逢阳刃，伤妻破财，灾殃已胚胎矣，流年岁运再遇羊刃，是谓并临，见巳酉是冲岁君，见亥未戌是合岁君，阳刃，凶煞也，太岁，凶神也，太岁得吉神相扶，合则吉，若阳刃凶煞来冲合岁君，是谓攒凶聚煞，其祸难免。
经云：阳刃冲合岁君，勃然祸至，此之谓也。中间亦要详辨，命元浅薄，遇此诚然，若命旺秉气深厚，或有天月德及赦文解救，止有浮实，亦无大咎。或日柱原有刃，见冲或合，岁运再临冲合，大凶，若岁冲合而运不冲合，运冲合而岁不冲合，其祸减半论。又曰：日干无气，时逢阳刃不为凶。言生日天元临死绝衰病暴败之地，不通月气，不能胜任财官，若逢阳刃，能劫财化煞，譬如兄力弱财重，得弟分任，则可胜其财而为我用，所以不作凶论。夫身弱见财官，固喜阳刃分财合煞，若见食伤，身弱脱气，亦喜阳刃扶持，若见印绶，则非日干无气矣。先言忌阳刃者，身强力能任财，故不喜劫夺，后言喜阳刃者，身弱力不住财，故不忌劫夺，义各有取。此格与伤官相似，凡命值之，主眼大须黄，性刚心高，无恻隐慈惠之心，有刻剥不恤之意，多带宿疾，贪暴不足，进退抓疑，偏生庶出，离祖过房，克父伤妻，或见三刑，或自刑魁罡，全发迹边疆，如更无情或临财旺，主凶，若刑害俱全，类皆得地，又有救神，贵不可言。
又曰：阳刃格，大概不宜财乡，怕冲起，如戊日刃在午，忌行子正财运；壬日刃在子，忌行午正财运；庚日刃在酉，忌行卯正财运；独甲日刃在卯，行巳午并辰戌丑未财运不妨，忌酉运；丙在刃在午，行申酉庚辛丑财运不妨，忌子运。是阳刃所忌之财，戊刃午见子财，壬刃子见午财，庚刃酉见卯财，皆冲之财，故忌之，至甲刃卯不忌戊己巳午之财，且忌酉官矣，丙刃午不忌庚辛申酉之财，且忌子官矣，可概谓忌财乎？若天干生官之财，正为用神，方且喜之，岂可为忌。
《心境》云：阳刃重重又见财，富贵饶金帛，此之谓也。或曰甲戊庚见刃逢冲，发祸多验，壬丙逢刃见子午冲，多无祸，以丙见子、壬见午俱为正官，反作贵气论也。又曰：甲以己为妻财，四柱却有卯乙，己土受伤，不能扶甲，故主剥丧妻子，岁运复临，劫刃旺相，诚所不免，如别位逢庚辛酉申，庚能邀乙为妻，即成眷属，不为甲之七煞，辛辅甲为贵，能克破乙煞，反凶为吉。
经云：“甲以乙妹妻庚，凶为吉兆”是也。余干例此。又曰：六甲日逢乙卯凶，辛卯吉，甲申丁卯不为刃，申中有庚合卯中乙木为财，若有财露，亦凶，丁火伤官，乙木夺财，岁运并临，灾祸不免。乙酉日见庚辰时，非刃，乙坐庚下酉中辛金，制辰中乙木。丙子日见甲午时，非刃，子中癸水克午中丁火。丁亥日见丁未时，非刃，亥中午水合丁。庚午日见乙酉时，非刃，午中丁火制辛。壬午日见庚子时，非刃，午中己土制癸。辛巳日见戊戌时，非刃，巳中丙火合辛。癸巳日见癸丑时，非刃，巳中戊土合癸。以上诸日，遇者不宜见刑冲破害，无则以好命断之。
又曰：阳刃者，天上之凶星，人间之恶煞，喜偏官、印绶，忌反吟、伏吟、魁罡、三合，大率与七煞相似，故阳刃喜见七煞，七煞喜见阳刃，两凶互相制伏，犹正官喜正印，善类合善类为福。
经云：煞无刃不显，刃无煞不威，煞刃俱全，常人无有，更身旺不见伤官为妙，若命元有煞刃，岁运又逢，或有刃无煞，岁运逢煞运之乡，俱发大福。如命有刃有印无煞，岁运逢煞，反转成厚福。若柱无刃煞，命合财官，岁运复遇刃煞，主一岁蹇滞，因财争竞，兄弟分居，离妻去妾，若元无刃，行刃运虽不妨，亦主有克妻之事，元有刃，岁运切不宜再见及伤官财地，原带伤官财星，岁运再逢，祸害极重，身弱尤凶。又曰：日刃止有三日，戊午、丙午、壬子，与阳刃同法。
经曰：赤黄马独卧，黑鼠守空房，男妨妻，女妨夫，指此三日也。
不喜刑冲破害三会六合，要有七煞相制，再行官印乡，便为好命。
赋云：日刃大忌冲合，喜官煞相制，合刑者凶，遇印者吉，有煞无刃，施为有勇无威，有刃无煞，作事浊而不显，无煞遇煞，窃恐祸患相侵，有刃遇刃，须忌灾危相犯，刃生身死，其年难作吉推，财旺官伤，此岁不作凶断。又曰：戊午日，岁月见火多，则以印绶论；壬子日，月时见子多，则以飞天禄马论；丙午见午多，亦以倒冲禄马论。又自刃有三日：癸丑、丁丑、丁未、己未，因坐下比肩阳刃；飞刃有四日：丙子、丁丑、戊子、己丑，因作下冲出阳刃，与前日刃喜忌大同。年上阳刃与时上阳刃最重，年上主破败祖基，不受父母产业，平生施恩反怨；时上主克妻子，晚无结果，四柱再逢，手足灾疾；月上稍轻，日上又轻。人命月日干支带财多，日干衰弱，时带阳刃，无害；月带七煞，时带阳刃，日主有气，大贵；如月带阳刃，时上微带官时，力不能制，亦凶。又曰：男命见败劫，又见伤官，必克妻子，女命克夫。
赋云：败财者比肩之曜，劫夺之神，财多身弱，遇之为奇，财弱身旺，见之为祸，有财遇劫，运入财乡，自可成家，无财遇劫，纵非财年，亦须见破，元劫又遇劫运，守穷途而凄惶，身旺又加印助，必荣华而发福。
《相心赋》云：“劫财羊刃，离祖成家，外象谦和尚义，内心狠毒无知，有刻剥之意，无慈惠之心。”《心境》云：“阳刃重重又见煞，大贵，登甲科。”《千里马》云：“阳刃偏官有制，膺职掌于兵权。”又云：“男逢阳刃，身弱遇之为奇。”又云：“羊刃七煞，出仕驰名。”又云：“羊刃入官煞，威镇边疆。”《玉匣赋》云：“火金阳刃，绿珠坠死于高楼”。又云：“阳刃重重三四，必须患疾盲聋。”《惊神赋》云：“满盘阳刃，必定分尸。”《定真篇》云：“阳刃若逢印绶，纵富而残疾在身。”《造微论》云：“阳刃逢于五息，定要重犯徒流。”余见犯羊刃煞者多瞽，如癸酉、戊午、戊寅、癸丑；丙寅、庚寅、丙午、乙未；丁卯、癸卯、甲子、乙亥，三命皆无目。
古歌曰： 时逢阳刃喜偏官，若见财星祸百端，岁运相冲并相合，勃然兴祸至门阑。
又： 阳刃重逢合有伤，主人心性气高强，刑冲太重多凶厄，有制方能保吉昌。
又： 刃逢七煞慕官乡，惟怕刑冲禄不昌，会合更逢财旺运，预防灾祸致身殃。
又： 比肩阳刃格非常，要见官星与煞乡，元辰若无官煞制，再行比劫祸难当。
又： 财星轻弱刃刚强，身旺之乡大不祥，凤寡鸾孤清夜怨，等闻妻克两三双。
又： 刃逢七煞运官乡，破害刑冲贵异常，切忌合逢财旺地，必遭灾祸反刑伤。
又：日刃还如羊刃同，官星七煞喜支逢，岁君若也无伤刃，支上冲刑立武功。
又： 羊刃常居在禄前，性刚果毅少慈怜，不宜会合防灾至，若见财星祸必缠；有官有煞名显达，无冲无破禄荣迁，更加刑害魁罡并，发迹边疆掌重权。
如一命：壬申、壬子、戊午、乙卯，自坐阳刃，二壬申子，财旺且多，子午虽冲，申子会午不能冲，时官制伏阳刃，只作财官格看，所以大贵。又一命：丙戌、癸巳、戊午、丁巳，戊归禄巳，午虽羊刃，所以获禄，又印绶化刃，故贵。
Yang Blade represents the "Yang" within Yin and Yang, symbolizing the sharpness and danger of a blade's edge. It refers to the position immediately preceding the Heavenly Stem's (Day Master's) Lu (Prosperity) position. It is considered extremely inauspicious due to excessive prosperity crossing a boundary. For example, for a Day Master of Jia Wood (甲), encountering Mao Wood (卯) (which contains Yi Wood 乙) is considered a Yang Blade. Yi Wood, acting as Jia's "younger brother," will plunder its wealth 💰, clash with the Xin Metal (辛) Official Star hidden within You (酉), and combine away the Geng Metal (庚) spouse star (Geng is Jia's Seven Killings). The combination of Rob Wealth, Clash Official, and Combine Killing leads to great misfortune. Only the five Yang Heavenly Stems (Jia 甲, Bing 丙, Wu 戊, Geng 庚, Ren 壬) have a Yang Blade. The five Yin Heavenly Stems (Yi 乙, Ding 丁, Ji 己, Xin 辛, Gui 癸) do not have a Blade, hence the name "Yang Blade." However, when a Yin Stem encounters its Hurting Officer, the resulting calamity is similar. For instance, Yi (乙) encountering Bing (丙) is also considered a Blade, as Bing (Hurting Officer) harms the Geng (庚) Official, combines with the Xin (辛) Killing, and overcomes Yi Wood, with inauspiciousness equal to a Yang Blade. Yang Blades are divided into three categories:
The Xiji Pian (Essays on Auspicious and Inauspicious) points out: The Rob Wealth Yang Blade is most feared when appearing in the Hour Pillar; when the Annual and Luck Pillars coincide with it (Bing Lin), disaster strikes immediately. A Yang Blade in the Hour Pillar is more severe than in the Year, Month, or Day Pillars. For example, a person born on a Jia day with Yi Mao (乙卯) in the Hour Pillar (True Blade) already indicates a destiny prone to injuring the wife and breaking wealth. If the Annual/Luck Pillars encounter the Yang Blade again (Bing Lin), misfortune is compounded. If encountering Si-You (巳酉) clashing with the Year Lord (Tai Sui), or Hai-Wei-Xu (亥未戌) combining with the Year Lord, the Yang Blade (evil spirit) and the Year Lord (inauspicious god) superimpose, making calamity unavoidable 🔥. However, if the Day Master has a deep foundation (e.g., Day Master is strong, or has Tianyue Virtue or Pardon Star), disasters can be mitigated. If the Day Pillar originally has a Blade, and the Annual/Luck Pillars clash or combine with it again, it is extremely inauspicious; if the Annual/Luck Pillars only unilaterally clash or combine, the misfortune is halved. When the Day Master is weak and lacks Qi, encountering a Yang Blade can conversely be auspicious, as the Yang Blade can share the pressure from wealth and killing stars, similar to brothers helping 🤝. A weak body favors the Yang Blade supporting wealth/killing, while a strong body dislikes it plundering. Those with a Yang Blade pattern often have large eyes, yellow-ish beard, a rigid and ruthless nature, lacking compassion; they are prone to chronic illnesses, overcoming the father and harming the wife; if combined with Three Penalties or Kui Gang, they may rise to prominence in border regions 🌄, but if encountering flourishing wealth or full penalties/harms, it becomes inauspicious.
The Yang Blade pattern generally dislikes entering the "wealth territory" and fears being "stirred" by clash, for example:
The wealth that the Yang Blade dislikes is mostly "clashing wealth" (e.g., Wu-Wu 戊午 Blade seeing Zi 子 wealth). However, Jia-Mao (甲卯) Blade does not dislike Wu-Ji-Si-Wu (戊己巳午) wealth, but dislikes You (酉) official; Bing-Wu (丙午) Blade does not dislike Geng-Xin-Shen-You (庚辛申酉) wealth, but dislikes Zi (子) official. If wealth gives birth to the Official Star which serves as the Useful God, then wealth is favored 💰. The Xin Jing states: "Heavy Yang Blades meeting wealth again, riches and honor come with gold and silk," confirming this principle. For Jia (甲), taking Ji (己) as wife, if the pillars see Mao (卯) or Yi (乙), the Ji Earth is injured, indicating overcoming the wife; but encountering Geng (庚) or Xin (辛) can control the Yi (乙) killing, turning bad to good. For the six Jia days, encountering Yi Mao (乙卯) is inauspicious, Xin Mao (辛卯) is auspicious; Jia Shen (甲申) Ding Mao (丁卯) is not a Blade (Shen contains Geng which combines with Yi as wealth), but Ding Fire Hurting Officer and Yi Wood robbing wealth means Annual/Luck Bing Lin is still inauspicious. Other non-Blade day pillars, like Yi You (乙酉) seeing Geng Chen (庚辰) in the hour, etc., without penalties or clashes, indicate a good fate.
The Yang Blade is an inauspicious star and evil spirit 🌪️. It favors Partial Official (Seven Killings) and Seal Ribbon to control/transform it. It dislikes Fan Yin (reverse吟), Fu Yin (hidden吟), Kui Gang, and Three Combinations. The Yang Blade and Seven Killings control each other, e.g., "Killing without Blade is not prominent, Blade without Killing is not powerful." Having both Blade and Killing brings nobility. A fate carrying Killing and Blade, encountering them in Annual/Luck brings fortune; lacking Killing and Blade but encountering Blade luck leads to overcoming the wife or disputing wealth. Day Blades only occur on three days: Wu Wu (戊午), Bing Wu (丙午), Ren Zi (壬子). For men, it obstructs the wife; for women, it obstructs the husband. It requires the Seven Killings to control it, and then entering Official/Seal territory makes for a good fate. Yang Blade in the Year Pillar is most severe (breaks ancestral foundation), next in the Hour Pillar (overcomes wife and children), slightly lighter in the Month Pillar. For men, Rob Wealth plus Hurting Officer inevitably overcomes the wife; for women, it overcomes the husband. The Xiang Xin Fu describes those with Rob Wealth Yang Blade as outwardly modest but inwardly vicious; the Xin Jing says heavy Yang Blades meeting Killing brings great honor; the Qian Li Ma points out that controlled Killing and Blade can wield military authority ⚔️. However, excessive Yang Blades mainly indicate disability, blindness, or deafness, as in example fates like Gui You (癸酉), Wu Wu (戊午), Wu Yin (戊寅), Gui Chou (癸丑), etc., which are all blind.
Ancient songs emphasize: Yang Blade in the Hour favors Partial Official, dislikes Wealth Stars; Blade and Killing controlling each other can ensure auspiciousness and prosperity, but dislikes penalties/clashes and flourishing wealth; a weak body encountering the Blade can conversely form an extraordinary pattern.
Example 1: Ren Shen (壬申), Ren Zi (壬子), Wu Wu (戊午), Yi Mao (乙卯). Self-sitting on Wu Fire Yang Blade 🔥, two Ren and Shen-Zi combination makes wealth flourishing 🌊. The Zi-Wu clash is resolved by the Shen-Zi combination. The Hour Pillar Yi Mao (乙卯) Official Star controls the Blade, forming a Wealth-Official pattern and achieving great honor.
Example 2: Bing Xu (丙戌), Gui Si (癸巳), Wu Wu (戊午), Ding Si (丁巳). Wu returns to prosperity at Si (巳). Wu, although a Yang Blade, obtains prosperity. The Seal Ribbon transforms the Blade, leading to honor.
Other examples of blindness due to Yang Blade:
Gui You (癸酉), Wu Wu (戊午), Wu Yin (戊寅), Gui Chou (癸丑)
Bing Yin (丙寅), Geng Yin (庚寅), Bing Wu (丙午), Yi Wei (乙未)
Ding Mao (丁卯), Gui Mao (癸卯), Jia Zi (甲子), Yi Hai (乙亥)
Yang Blade symbolizes extreme prosperity of the Five Elements leading to danger. Its essence is Rob Wealth and Seize Official, governing inauspiciousness and calamity 🌪️. The core lies in "balance and control": the Yang Blade requires the Seven Killings or Seal Ribbon to restrain it to turn auspicious, embodying the philosophy of "evil spirits controlling each other" for balance. Those with a Yang Blade pattern have a rigid and ruthless nature, reflecting a deep connection between personality and destiny, as ancient texts say "large eyes, yellow-ish beard, no heart of compassion." In classification, the Rob Wealth Blade, Protect Prosperity Blade, and Turn Back on Prosperity Blade correspond to different pattern needs, highlighting the wisdom of "guiding according to the situation."
In contemporary society, Yang Blade can be interpreted as extreme personality or high-risk traits:
Yang Blade reveals the cosmic principle of excess leading to reversal: extreme prosperity inevitably turns, requiring "evil spirits controlling each other" to achieve order. From a modern perspective, this is not fatalism but a metaphor for dynamic balance – human nature's rigidity and softness need harmonizing, societal strength and weakness need mutual support. Ancient texts' assertions of "overcoming wife and breaking wealth" should be reinterpreted under egalitarian values as "relational tension," encouraging communication rather than passive resignation to fate.
