Wu Wu & Ji Wei: Fire in the Heavens

[戊午己未天上火]

天上火者，温暖山海，辉光宇宙，阳德丽天之照，阴精离海之明，戊午为太阳则刚，己未为太阴则柔，或以为夏日则刚，冬日则温，诬也。俱要戌亥为天门，卯酉为出入之门，东南为行陆之地则吉。此火见木谓之震折，要日时有风与水方得。大林木有辰已，松柏、石榴有卯酉，故惟此三木主贵。午见木多犹可，未三、四木，劳苦之命也。见金且能照耀，不能克济。钗金有戌亥，泊金有寅卯，主吉；剑金为耀日月之光，必主少年登第；余金则殃。水宜涧下，须戊午见丁丑，已未见丙子，阴阳交互，方为福贵，柱中更有木滋生，富贵双金；大溪有乙卯，井泉有已酉，出入得门，皆吉；天河雨露相济，不以就位克论，戌午见丁未，亦吉，丙午则不明。火爱灯头，再有别火则燥；霹雳带云雨则日月无光，故主昏蒙；炉中午忌丙寅，以午为刚火，才见丙寅，便为火生之地，若无清水解救，主犯刑凶死，丁卯稍可；土见砂中，有巽风相假；路旁、城屋皆吉，柱中更有金木相助，尤吉。考妙选，戊午遇卯，已未遇酉，为日月分秀格，而卯以乙卯、辛卯为正，已卯、丁卯次之，酉以乙酉、癸酉为正，已酉、丁酉次之；有日出扶桑格，即日分秀，再见已午日时；有日轮当表格，以戊午生于午，日逢已午日，又以戊午见戊子为坎离正位；有月生沧海格，即月分秀，而酉得乙癸是也；有月照寒潭格，是取壬癸亥子，纳音属水为潭，然必秋生为贵；有月桂芬芳格，是已未生人，柱有三、四木拱集，与桂林一枝，同桂林以少为贵，芬芳以多为贵，义各有所取也。再考凶格中，太阳损明，戊午不禁于水溢，是嫌水盛；太阴薄食，已未岂堪于土多？是嫌土重也。须如是并参，方尽其理。

Wu Wu & Ji Wei: Fire in the Heavens

Overall Paraphrase

Fire in the Heavens 🔥 symbolizes energy that warms mountains and seas, illuminating the heavens and the earth. Within this:

• Wu Wu belongs to Solar Fire (fierce and blazing), while Ji Wei belongs to Lunar Fire (gentle and resilient).
• Auspiciousness requires pairing with Xu or Hai (Heavenly Gate), Mao or You (Gateways), or the southeast direction (land of travel).

🔥 Interactions with Other Elements

Element	Key Points of Auspiciousness/Inauspiciousness	Modern Corresponding Meaning
Wood 🌳	Only Great Forest Wood, Pine & Cypress, and Pomegranate Wood bring nobility; Wu Fire can tolerate much wood, Ji Wei Fire meeting 3-4 wood elements leads to toil and hardship.	Choose resilient partners for cooperation; overload consumes energy.
Metal ✨	Hairpin Gold (Xu/Hai) and Lake Gold (Yin/Mao) are auspicious; Sword Gold indicates early fame; other metals easily attract misfortune.	Noble assistance lies in key directions;锋芒 needs to show early.
Water 🌊	Ravine Water needs Yin-Yang pairing (Wu Wu + Ding Chou / Ji Wei + Bing Zi); Great Stream Water and Well Spring Water are auspicious; River Water is best when balanced.	Resources require Yin-Yang harmony;流动性能量增值.
Fire Stacking	Can pair with Lamp Fire; other fires easily cause dryness;霹雳火反而遮蔽光芒.	Borrow strength moderately; avoid energy conflicts.
Earth ⛰️	Sand Earth (aided by Xun Wind), Roadside Earth, and City Wall Earth are all auspicious, better when combined with Metal or Wood.	A stable foundation requires environmental circulation.

🌟 Analysis of Special Patterns

1. Sun-Moon Splendor Pattern

   • Wu Wu encountering Mao Wood (Yi Mao is best), Ji Wei encountering You Metal (Yi You is most auspicious) → Talent and success become prominent.

2. Sunrise Over Fusang Pattern

   • Sun-Moon Splendor Pattern + Si or Wu hour → Like the rising morning sun.
     Modern Application: Suitable for pioneering careers (entrepreneurship/innovation fields).

3. Moonlight on Cold Pool Pattern

   • Ji Wei + Ren, Gui, Hai, Zi Water + Born in Autumn → Deeply contained wisdom.
     Modern Meaning: Fields requiring沉淀 like scientific research, psychological counseling.

4. Fragrant Osmanthus Moon Pattern

   • Ji Wei + 3-4 Wood elements 🌳 → Multiple woods surround the moon (e.g., Ji Wei Year Pillar sees much wood).
   **Modern Interpretation**: Team collaboration achieves individual success, but guard against over-dependence.

⚠️ Risk Warnings

• Wu Wu fears abundant water (e.g., flood waters 🌊): Talent bogged down by trivialities → Need to streamline goals.
• Ji Wei fears heavy earth (e.g., thick earth ⛰️): Conservatism leads to rigidity → Actively break out of comfort zones.

🧠 Deep Understanding

Core Concept 💡

Dynamic Yin-Yang Balance: Solar Fire (Wu Wu) needs to restrain its fierceness; Lunar Fire (Ji Wei) must avoid being too soft and losing its light.

Modern Interpretation 🌟

• Workplace Application:
  • Wu Wu individuals: Suitable for decision-making roles (require the strategic vision symbolized by the Xu/Hai Heavenly Gate position).
  • Ji Wei individuals: Excel in coordination roles (represent the communication hub of the Mao/You Gateway positions).
• Energy Management:霹雳火 (sudden crises) obscures the sun and moon → Reserve contingency plans.

Practical Value ⚡

1. Directional Advice:
   • Wu Wu: Southeast direction (land of travel) enhances initiative.
   • Ji Wei: Near-water environments (e.g., placing a flowing water feature in the office) balance energy.
2. Cooperation Taboos:
   • Avoid Wu Wu + Bing Wu (double Solar Fire competition),容易导致团队内耗.

Philosophical Reflection 🤔

The Essence of "Illuminating the Universe": Individual energy needs to resonate with the rhythm of heaven and earth—

• Solar Fire (Wu Wu) learns to store power (prevent "dimming brilliance").
• Lunar Fire (Ji Wei) learns to break the cocoon (beware of "eclipsing").
