【六仪二吉】
天上三奇日月星，则乙为日奇、丙为月奇、丁为星奇，地下三奇甲戊庚，则甲为阳木之魁，戊为阳土之君，庚为阳金之精，若年月日时四干分明，见乙丙丁、或甲戊庚，是乙丙丁而遇六仪，则器业远大，甲戊庚而逢二吉，则坚完富贵，六仪者以子加寅，顺数至生月，见本命者是，二吉者丑未也，如有福神之助，更在生旺之乡，则极贵，如无福神更犯死绝，冲破、空亡，则减福。（阎东叟书）
玉霄宝鉴云：古人以正月为岁之始，日出于乙，故以乙为日奇，老人星，凡为瑞，见于丁位，故以丁为星奇，月照夜到丙位，而天下明，故以丙为月奇。
珞*子云：重犯奇仪蕴藉，抱出群之器，赵氏新注云：乙丙丁为三奇，甲子旬戊，甲戌旬己，甲申旬庚，甲午旬辛，甲辰旬壬，甲寅旬癸，以上六仪生月日时，遇者才智出伦，只如甲申年、乙亥月、丙辰日、庚寅时，各重犯奇仪。
三奇主人精神异常，襟韵卓越，好奇、尚大、博学多能，带贵者奇雅，富贵人也，带官符劫杀，器识宏远，带空亡生旺，则脱尘离俗，富贵不淫、威武不屈、带元辰、咸池、死绝，皆为无用。（烛神经）
顺食干神乙丙丁，神童及第播声名，日时禄马公卿杀，换武除文佐圣明。
须是乙人见乃好，如他干见则非也。
顺食干神甲戊庚，兼得长生两府名，若然无禄无马，只是财中蓄积人【积蓄人？】。
如甲人见，又支神带福方妙。（鬼谷要诀）
三奇须是重逢贵，方是荣华福寿人，只有空奇无贵地，贫窘下贱被欺凌。
如余大宰戊戌年、庚申月、甲辰日、乙丑时，又如吴参政，丁卯年、乙巳月、丁丑日、丙午时也。(紫虚局)
乙丙丁分甲戊庚，上局相生生复生，不是蓬莱三岛客，也应金殿玉阶行。（太乙妙旨）
三奇要入三合，假令甲戊庚在申子辰之上，方为入局，清贵之命。（玉霄宝鉴）
凡三奇须要顺，有不依次者，亦得半力，若值天罗地网、交、伏、空亡，都不好。（八字金书）
俗说以见三奇便为贵，又以顺为贵，皆未尽也，若乙人丙月丁时，是乙生丙丁秀气，下降乃寻常命，若乙时丙日丁年是秀气上达，即贵。
若甲戊庚却以顺者为贵，逆者福慢，气清则贵，浊则富，又甲戊庚夜生者福厚，又云：三奇正得之者早贵，倒者晚贵，乱者不寿。皆谓生在四柱内者。（广录）
三奇倒悬，吕望白头钓叟。
三奇得之正者早贵，珞琭子曰：奇为贵也，得之倒乱都夭寿。金书云：三奇倒乱人多不寿，得之倒而不乱者，晚贵，而不夭，所以吕望为白头钓叟，八十方遇。（壶中子）
凡犯三奇，太岁不带者，不用，主孤独。（寸珠尺璧）
五行各有奇仪，须分逆顺，岁、胎、月、日、时都顺。时、日、月、胎、年者逆，胎本立于岁前，因岁得之胎月、或立胎在岁后月前、空、刑、败、害、日月倒乱，却得顺，三奇不为倒也。
若三奇各带合，须前后五辰合为上，更分逆顺之用，甲戊庚金奇，喜辰戌丑未、或金方，乙丙丁火奇，喜寅午戌、或南方。丙辛癸水奇，喜亥子丑申辰。丁壬甲木奇，喜寅卯辰亥未。甲己丙土奇，喜四季及寅、午亥申。三奇，亦要合而贵，五位中得逆顺三奇皆吉。惟嫌不连顺、三奇刑、八败、六害、空亡、相刑、相克、倒乱者，却得顺三奇在本方，亦主富贵。（鬼谷遗文）
太乙经，以辛壬癸为水奇。
【又三奇格】
欲识岩廊官赫奕，名仙多诞癸壬辛，三奇玉藉传消息，轻薄时师莫与评。
如翁中丞，辛亥年、壬辰月、壬寅日、戊申时、癸未胎是也。
【四奇格】
甲戊庚壬是四奇、乙丙丁庚亦合仪、戊癸丙庚相遇着，便断为官着紫绯。
如陈左司，丁酉年、乙巳月、癸亥日、庚申时、丙申胎是也。（紫虚）
The three celestial marvels in the sky refer to the sun, moon, and stars 🌞🌙⭐, corresponding to the heavenly stems: Yi (乙) as the sun marvel, Bing (丙) as the moon marvel, and Ding (丁) as the star marvel. The three terrestrial marvels are Jia (甲), Wu (戊), and Geng (庚), where Jia is the leader of yang wood (symbolizing leadership 🌳), Wu is the sovereign of yang earth (representing stability ⛰), and Geng is the essence of yang metal (signifying resilience 🔩). If a person's four pillars of birth (year, month, day, and hour) clearly display the combinations of Yi-Bing-Ding or Jia-Wu-Geng, and encounter the Six Rituals (referring to the destiny stems and branches corresponding to the birth month counted sequentially from the Zi position), it indicates a grand career and extraordinary achievements. If Jia-Wu-Geng meets the Two Auspicious Stars (Chou and Wei), it represents stable wealth and nobility. With the assistance of fortune deities and a state of vitality, the命主 is extremely noble; however, if there are no fortune deities and instead encounters death, exhaustion,冲破, or空亡, blessings will be diminished.
The ancients regarded the first month of the year as its beginning, with the sun rising in the Yi position, hence Yi is the sun marvel. The Old Man Star (symbolizing auspiciousness) often appears in the Ding position, so Ding is the star marvel. Moonlight illuminates the night up to the Bing position, making the world bright, thus Bing is the moon marvel. People with the Three Marvels destiny often possess extraordinary spirits, outstanding胸怀, curiosity, lofty ambitions, and broad knowledge and abilities. With an aura of nobility, they are elegant and wealthy; with官符劫杀, they have宏远器识; with空亡生旺, they transcend worldly concerns, remaining unswayed by wealth and unyielding to power. However, if accompanied by元辰,咸池, or death and exhaustion, they may be rendered useless.
Sequential consumption of heavenly stems (e.g., Yi-Bing-Ding or Jia-Wu-Geng appearing in order) can bring about child prodigies achieving top honors and widespread fame. If combined with日时禄马公卿杀, it enables both literary and martial prowess, assisting wise rulers. However, only when Yi people encounter Yi-Bing-Ding is it auspicious; other heavenly stems encountering it are not. Jia-Wu-Geng with sequential consumption and attaining长生 can reach high positions (e.g., officials in the two government offices). Without禄马, they are merely wealth accumulators. The Three Marvels must repeatedly encounter noble directions to manifest glory; empty marvels without nobility lead to poverty and being bullied.
The Three Marvels must enter the Three Harmonies bureau (e.g., Jia-Wu-Geng in Shen-Zi-Chen) to be considered清贵. Sequence is crucial;不顺 reduces efficacy by half, and encountering天罗地网,交伏空亡 is unfavorable. Conventional belief that seeing the Three Marvels implies nobility or that顺序 implies nobility is not entirely accurate: Yi-Bing-Ding顺生 (Yi generates Bing and Ding) represents descending秀气, an ordinary destiny;逆序 (Yi hour, Bing day, Ding year) represents ascending秀气, indicating nobility. Jia-Wu-Geng顺者 are noble,逆者 have薄福; those born at night have厚福;正得 leads to early nobility,倒乱 leads to late nobility or短寿.
Inverted Three Marvels (逆序), like Lü Wang (Jiang Ziya), the white-haired old fisherman, achieved late nobility. The太岁不带三奇 indicates loneliness. Each of the Five Elements has its own marvels and rituals, divided into逆顺: year,胎, month, day, hour顺; hour, day, month,胎, year逆.胎元 is established before or after the year, needing to avoid空刑败害. Three Marvels with合 (合 of the five辰 before and after) is superior, divided into逆顺喜方: Jia-Wu-Geng favor土金方, Yi-Bing-Ding favor火方, etc. Both逆顺三奇 are auspicious but忌讳不连顺,刑害空亡克倒乱.
The Taiyi Jing regards Xin-Ren-Gui as water marvels. The Four Marvels pattern, such as combinations like Jia-Wu-Geng-Ren or Yi-Bing-Ding-Geng, can lead to high official positions (e.g.,紫绯). Examples include the案例 of Weng Zhongcheng and Chen Zuosi.
The Three Marvels (Yi-Bing-Ding or Jia-Wu-Geng) and Four Marvels (e.g., Jia-Wu-Geng-Ren) are special combinations in destiny analysis, symbolizing extraordinary talent, exceptional spirit, and potential wealth and nobility. They represent the essence of the heavenly stems, and when combined with elements like the Six Rituals and Two Auspicious Stars, they can enhance the命主's abilities, social status, and life trajectory. Sequence, direction, and accompanying factors (e.g., vitality,空亡) are crucial, affecting the degree of auspiciousness or inauspiciousness.
In modern society, the concept of the Three Marvels can be interpreted as markers of innate advantages or special potential. For example:
The theory of the Three Marvels reflects the ancient idea of harmony between heaven and humanity, linking celestial phenomena (sun, moon, stars) with human nature, suggesting that destiny involves both innate determinism and后天变数. From a modern perspective, this encourages balancing "destiny" and "human effort": acknowledging innate advantages while shaping life through effort and environmental adaptation (e.g., avoiding misfortune and seeking auspiciousness). It also reflects on the limitations of superstition—the Three Marvels are not omnipotent and should be viewed rationally, avoiding destiny determinism.
