琴堂五星赋
日为众曜之尊，月乃一身之主。太阳正照，诸星罢争 战之锋；孤月独明， 一世享安宁之福。日月最宜拱夹，金 水须耍分明。金水会垣，水忌退于金后；日月合朔，月宜 占于日先。计罗明朔望之逢，火土分昼夜之忌。土罗夜遇， 多招哭泣之灾；金水冬生，难免孤寒之苦。水金宜附近于 身命，日月喜拱夹于福官。口月次星张之度，有引从端为 贵格。金水缠奎壁之府，无混杂必主文宗。阴阳失局，到 老无成，金水互垣，终身有益。木气拱身守命，必有寿而 聪明；金孛骑马坐花，必无礼而*乱。孛罗克限化刑囚， 人亡财散；限主化宫会金水，名遂功成。火暗忌昼犯于太 阳，土刑嫌夜截于孤月。罗刑寅位，有打虎之能；木印辰 宫，有骑龙之德。木气贯命，多为林下逍遥；土孛破官， 徒向士途奔北。日陷奴仆，终身不振，月居闲极，反为吉 祥。木金化暗入四宫，必伤祖业；太阳带禄居七位，定得 妻财。气孛守刷垣，男必孤刑，罗火入对宫，妇多产厄。 孛居九位，中年漂荡而无归，罗入十宫， -世夸豪嚣讼。
命逢刑曜，而水孛落在厄宫，投河奔井；身在刃乡，而火
罗坐于相貌，自缢自刑。金星守命，好色欲而假清高，木 德临垣，怀慈心而负刚毅。水必漂荡无守，火必偏乱不常。 上能熟虑而潜隐，计必多机而巧算。孛招谤怨，罗喜贪歌。 气若得照，为人必好于孤介。文人才子，多因金水二星， 木气得垣，武将功臣，必有火罗计孛入格。福官天马朝阳， 玉堂贵客；文魁火罗捧日，翰苑名公。极贵阴阳拱禄，朝 向犹奇；最富日月拱财，坐旺享福。孤克者，木气罗守命， 身泊孤辰寡宿之乡。*贱者，金木孛临身，命坐冠盖咸池 之上。孛主迁移漂荡，逢生旺多作商流。计主垝诈好谋， 更强健必为戎贝。巫医术士，禄马俱陷空亡。僧道高人， 独居华盖。九流者，土孛计同居于官禄。残疾者，火罗 上杂处难宫。白虎带煞入命，公讼是非之辈；福德煞刃同 会，谋害设情之徒。吉星坐实，胜似高强；凶星落空，胜 似弱地。明实不如暗实，原空不如流空。有实不如有夹， 有夹不如有拱。空其位莫空其星，实其主莫实其煞。贵人 殿驾禄马，喜扶恩有拱，不喜扶煞党恶。身恩田财官福， 喜互垣坐实，不喜散漫无情。用星不可受伤，身星不可落 陷。天煞地煞，不宜拱福拱官；驾前驾后，犹怕逢刃逢的。 身命逢官无实拱，职位难高；福官坐实值身空，发施不出。 身官俱好，既能富而远贵；福恩两强，纵遇险而无凶。恩 能取信，恩一陷而信令不行；福能保官，福一空而官居不 久。福嫌身弱，田忌财空；身弱福强，似病人而挑重担。 田高财陷，如浪子而逞风流。忽灾忽福，是煞恩相守；暂 富暂贫，为直难伤财。禄入对宫，因妻致富。马临官位，
出祖成家。主弱奴强，奴隶有欺凌之状。命居闲健，弟兄 起争斗之风。男以七煞为权，女以二宫为主。主防刃宿， 最畏见于刃乡。男怕煞星，犹恶逢于煞地。天星地煞，俱 要参详。当年流年，不宜重见。化暗刑囚真可虑，坐亡劫 刃最为凶。凶星若守穷途，为祸莫甚；吉曜既居弱地，为 福全轻。生星化凶，未必为凶；煞星化吉，未必为吉。凶 星生吉曜，吉能制凶；吉宿犯凶神，凶能制吉。遇敌须然 有救，正生犹忌暗伤。暗耗虽逢，遇生反吉。刑囚若陷， 纵恶难施。主星忌难同行，煞怕直难作党。欲知气数长短， 须看根基强弱。官度生贵乎明健，直难星须要伏降，身命 高而根本固，又何畏于煞星?奴煞旺而身主衰，亦难问于 限主。关界上凶星迎送，必损厥身；标的中吉曜加临，必 得其寿，太阳照煞地，能散诸凶；煞星坐限宫，妄为作福? 煞星不宜作党，宫主须忌失缠。煞若逢生，为祸愈酷，煞 星遇敌，至祸反轻，但逢克限之星，便是兴灾之日。最怕 当头太岁，亦防得势余奴。黄泉路，鬼门关，无非险地； 劫煞头，刃煞尾，亦是战场。众星战煞定无忧， 一煞当关
真可虑。须知余奴拒敌，得经本主自如，更看岁君赶煞，
流年并限如何?细辨盈虚，的见休咎。
日月乃为人君后妃之象，若得临曜守照身命，为福 最大。比喻近侍御前之臣，咫尺天威诸恶何敢争战，若 遇朔望主首尾同度为城，莫能为福矣。阳居阴，阴居阳， 为失位。为人招是招非，皆由字星守命。紫气好文艺，尚 情高，能艺术，主弧介之星。大抵吉星占高强坐实为责，
最忌凶星占高强坐实地，则为祸久远。若使凶星居陷弱 空亡，则不能为祸矣。子午卯面为黄泉，辰戌丑未为是。
The Qintang Five Stars Ode elucidates the core role of stars in destiny analysis: The Sun 🌞 symbolizes supreme authority, while the Moon 🌙 represents individual consciousness. When the Sun shines brightly, conflicts among other stars subside; the Moon shining alone foretells a lifetime of peace. Mutual support between the Sun and Moon (forming supportive angles) is highly auspicious, while Venus 💎 and Mercury 🌊 should remain distinct and clear. When Venus and Mercury share the same palace, Mercury should not lag behind Venus; during the Sun-Moon conjunction, the Moon is best positioned ahead of the Sun. Special attention is needed when Ketu and Rahu meet during lunar phases, while Mars 🔥 and Saturn ⛰ are to be avoided based on day and night—Saturn and Rahu meeting at night may bring sorrow and calamity, and those born in winter with Venus and Mercury prominent may face loneliness and hardship. Mercury and Venus are favorable near the Life and Body palaces, while the Sun and Moon benefit from supporting angles to the Fortune and Wealth palaces. The Sun and Moon reaching the Xing and Zhang degrees with guiding stars indicate nobility; Venus and Mercury intertwining in the Kui and Bi sectors without interference promise literary excellence. If the Sun and Moon are misplaced (e.g., the Sun in a Yin position), one may achieve little even in old age; Venus and Mercury exchanging palaces bring lifelong benefits. Jupiter 🌳 and Qi star supporting the Life and Body palaces signify longevity and intelligence; Venus and Comet sharing the Flower and Willow positions may lead to impropriety and indulgence. Comet and Rahu transforming into punitive forces can cause loss of both people and wealth; the Lord of the Limit transforming and meeting Venus and Mercury leads to success and fame. Mars or dark stars violating the Sun during the day or Saturn punishing the lone Moon at night are ominous. Rahu punishing the Yin position bestows martial prowess; Jupiter in the Chen palace signifies benevolence. Jupiter and Qi dominating the Life palace often indicate a desire for reclusive freedom; Saturn and Comet damaging the Career palace result in futile struggles in officialdom. The Sun falling into the Servants palace leads to lifelong stagnation, while the Moon in the Idleness palace反而 brings luck. Jupiter and Venus transforming into dark stars entering the Property palace may harm ancestral heritage; the Sun with wealth in the Spouse palace ensures spousal support. Qi and Comet guarding the brush wall may cause male isolation; Rahu and Mars in the opposite palace may lead to female childbirth difficulties. Comet in the Migration palace signifies midlife rootlessness; Rahu in the Career palace leads to a life of disputes and dominance. Life encountering punitive stars with Mercury and Comet in calamitous palaces may indicate drowning; the Body in the Blade sector with Mars and Rahu in the Appearance palace may lead to self-harm or hanging. Venus in the Life palace suggests hypocrisy in chastity; Jupiter in its own palace signifies kindness and resilience. Mercury governs restlessness and instability, Mars signifies chaos and unpredictability. Saturn represents deliberation and secrecy, Ketu symbolizes cunning and calculation. Comet attracts slander and resentment, Rahu enjoys greed and revelry. Purple Qi brings isolation and integrity. Scholars and talents often arise from Venus and Mercury prominence, or Jupiter and Qi alignment; military heroes require Mars, Rahu, Ketu, or Comet configurations. Fortune and Career palaces with Heavenly Horse facing the Sun indicate nobility; Literary Star with Mars and Rahu supporting the Sun signify fame. The highest nobility comes from the Sun and Moon supporting Wealth, the greatest wealth from their support of Fortune. Isolation arises from Jupiter, Qi, or Rahu in solitary positions; *humility stems from Venus, Jupiter, or Comet in prominent yet decadent palaces. Comet governs migration and wandering, thriving in trade; Ketu governs deceit and strategy, excelling in military service. Healers and mystics have fallen Fortune Horses; monks and sages dwell alone under Nobleman's Canopy. Miscellaneous professions involve Saturn, Comet, and Ketu in Career palaces; disabilities stem from Mars, Rahu, and Saturn in afflicted sectors. White Tiger with malice in Life brings disputes and lawsuits; Fortune with malice and blades meeting leads to plots and schemes. Auspicious stars in strong positions surpass high placements; malefic stars in empty positions are better than in weak ones. Visible strength is inferior to hidden strength; inherent emptiness is worse than transient emptiness. Having substance is inferior to having support; having support is inferior to having harmony. Empty positions should not lack stars, substantial positions should not harbor malice. Noblemen, thrones, fortunes, and horses favor support and favor, not malice and evil. Body, Favor, Property, Wealth, Career, and Fortune benefit from mutual palace strength, not dispersion and indifference. Key stars must not be harmed, the Body star must not fall. Heavenly and earthly malices should not support Fortune and Career; before and after the throne, fear blades and arrows. Life and Body encountering Career without support hinder high positions; Fortune and Career strong but Body empty hinder execution. Strong Body and Career bring wealth and honor; strong Fortune and Favor avert danger. Favor star gains trust, its fall weakens influence; Fortune star protects position, its emptiness shortens tenure. Fortune dislikes weak Body, Property fears empty Wealth; weak Body with strong Fortune is like a sick person carrying heavy loads, high Property with empty Wealth is like a prodigal flaunting extravagance. Sudden changes in fortune stem from malice and favor coexisting; temporary wealth and poverty arise from direct harm to wealth. Wealth in the opposite palace brings prosperity through marriage; Horse in the Career palace signifies leaving home to establish oneself. Weak master with strong servants leads to servant oppression; Life in Idleness with strength leads to sibling conflict. Men use Seven Killings for power, women rely on the Second palace. Guard against Blade constellations, fear Blade sectors; men fear Malice stars, dread Malice sectors. Heavenly stars and earthly malices must all be considered; current and transiting years should not repeat. Transforming into darkness and punishment is truly worrying; sitting in death, calamity, and blades is most ominous. Malefic stars in desperate straits bring heavy calamity; auspicious stars in weak ground bring light fortune. Life stars turning malefic may not be bad; malefic stars turning auspicious may not be good. Malefic stars generating auspicious ones can control malice; auspicious stars encountering malefic ones can be controlled by malice. Encounters with enemies can be rescued, direct life fears hidden harm. Hidden expenditure meeting life反而 brings luck; punishment and bondage if fallen, even evil struggles to act. Lord stars fear difficulties同行, malice fears direct difficulties forming factions. Lifespan length depends on foundation strength; Career degrees generating nobility require health, direct difficulty stars must submit. High Life and Body with strong roots fear no malice; strong servants and malice with weak body hinder limit lords. Border malices welcoming and sending harm the body; targets with mid auspicious stars arriving gain longevity. Sun shining on malice ground disperses all evils; malice stars sitting in limit palaces妄作福? Malice stars should not form factions, palace lords fear losing influence. Malice meeting life brings cruel disaster; malice encountering enemies brings light disaster. Meeting harm to limit stars brings day of disaster; fear the facing Grand Year, guard against rising remnant servants. Yellow Spring Road, Ghost Gate Pass are all dangerous places; calamity head, blade tail are also battlefields. Many stars fighting malice bring no worry; one malice guarding the pass causes concern. Remnant servants resisting enemies allow the original lord ease; Year Lord chasing malice, transiting year and limit how? Carefully discern fullness and emptiness to see fortune and misfortune. Sun and Moon are images of ruler and consort, shining on Life and Body bring greatest fortune, like attending heavenly majesty, evil does not battle; New and Full Moon sharing degrees反而 bring no city can福. Sun in Yin, Moon in Yang is misplacement, attracting disputes due to character stars guarding Life. Purple Qi loves arts and elevated emotions, governs isolation and integrity. Auspicious stars occupying high and strong positions bring nobility; malefic stars occupying high and strong positions bring lasting disaster; malefic stars in fallen, weak, empty positions bring no disaster. Zi, Wu, Mao, You are Yellow Springs; Chen, Xu, Chou, Wei are Ghost Gates.
This ode centers on the idea that stellar configurations determine fortune and misfortune, emphasizing the interactions of stars: the Sun and Moon as supreme, Venus and Mercury as wisdom, Mars and Saturn as calamities. It systematizes how the positions, phases (harmonious angles), and strengths (strong or weak positions) of stars influence personality, fate, and career, introducing a dynamic辩证 perspective of "transforming auspiciousness and maleficence."
In a modern context, this can be seen as an ancient system for analyzing personality and destiny. The Sun symbolizes authority and emotional stability (e.g., leadership and mental state), Venus and Mercury represent wisdom and communication (e.g., academic or business skills), while Mars and Saturn relate to conflict and pressure (e.g., health or interpersonal issues). So-called "auspiciousness and maleficence" are not superstitious certainties but potential tendencies mapped by stellar configurations: for example, "Venus and Mercury in winter birth leading to loneliness and cold" can be interpreted as an introverted personality shaped by a resource-scarce environment; "Sun and Moon harmonizing with Fortune and Wealth" suggests that a supportive environment fosters success. Modern individuals can extract a self-awareness framework: identifying strengths (e.g., Jupiter and Qi representing patience and creativity) and risk points (e.g., Ketu and Rahu representing impulsivity and calculation), but must adjust based on real-world factors.
The ode implies a philosophy of cosmic resonance: stellar patterns mirror cosmic order, and human destiny resonates with it. However, viewpoints like "life stars turning malefic may not be bad" showcase辩证 thinking—environment and choices can alter initial configurations. This challenges deterministic fate, leaning toward interactionism: stars set tendencies, but human effort (e.g., "limit lords transforming and meeting Venus and Mercury") can alter outcomes. In modern terms, this aligns with behavioral psychology: innate traits (stellar patterns) and后天 actions (transits and limits) jointly shape life.
