流年论
熟此一篇、判流年之吉凶，
则允合而无差矣。
凡流年祸福，必从当生祸福为究，止以命宫为定，方 判吉凶。且如一般行限， 一般流年星辰到而祸福并不同 者，何也?必须先看身命限度，当生有无吉凶星守照，方 可言之。如立命子限行寅，当生难星守于大限，流年难星 亦到，甚者死，轻者病。如有天地官符，并官禄田财命限，
则有宫刑轻重一般断之。
有天官符、丧门、白虎守命限，则有孝服。如当生无 难星到，流年有难星到命限者有祸，或者当生有一恩星照
得吉。余仿此，切不可一例推之。
当生祸福一世皆然。
火罗计孛为凶星，木气金水土为善星。又如命立于 子，木气为难，火罗为恩，若火罗照命限，未可以为凶， 乃恩星也，必得意。遇红鸾天喜有喜，遇羊刃空亡亡劫太 岁亦不降福。如逢流孛难星到，火罗亦到，是他星反激火 罗之难，又不能降福矣。又如木气是流年，难星到命限， 或是对合，必主不宁，亦须看当生主星得地否?更看流年 限到何处，如是限到难度，当生难星明健，必主重险；如 限到恩度，当生难星柔弱，流年难星来而祸重矣。更可详 细分别病讼孝服等事。
如逢岁破太岁亡劫天官符必讼，若流年丧门白虎天 哭吊客，轻则孝服，重则亲丧。如擎游病符死符披头血刃 有病，轻生重死，依当生限度上定之，有无重叠，但是凶 难守照命宫，则祸轻；临照限宫，则祸重，吉凶亦然。所 忧者太岁，所喜者亦太岁。有太岁守命限， 一年平安有喜 吉；有太岁守命限，有一年凶灾叠出，或孝服重重。盖恩 星填起则吉，仇难填之则凶。又从纳音生克，与命宫限度 有情无情，冲守有偏有正，正必祸，偏则无妨。更于当生 星辰上，冲并吉凶以断之，便从太岁上数起， 一太岁，二 太阳，三丧门，四太阴，五官符，六死符，七岁破，八龙 德，九白虎，十卷舌，十一吊客，十二病符，从命所临之
地，或阴所临之宫，以流年星辰凶吉，以定祸福。火罗首 见，计孛尾见，木气同时，皆主未开之事，命在太岁神煞 上取之，故云：太岁乃众煞之主，入命未必为凶，若遇战 斗之乡，必主刑于本命。
此云太岁乃诸神之统论。
太岁者，如年中天子，如子年在子，丑年在丑，寅年 在寅。卯年在卯，辰年在辰，已年在巳，午年在午，未年 在未，申年在申，酉年在酉，戌年在戌，亥年在亥，众煞 次第从之。周而复始，以布吉凶。
Familiarity with this content enables accurate judgment of the fortune or misfortune of the year, without error. The blessings and calamities of the year must be explored based on the fortunes and misfortunes of one's birth chart (at the time of birth), with the Life Palace as the benchmark for determining auspicious or inauspicious outcomes. For example, if two individuals enter the same planetary phase or experience the same transiting stars, yet their outcomes differ, why is this? One must first examine the planetary phases of the body and life, and whether the birth chart has auspicious or inauspicious stars presiding over it, to draw a conclusion. For instance, if the Life Palace is in the sign of Zi, and the planetary phase moves to the sign of Yin, and if the birth chart has malefic stars presiding over the major phase, while transiting malefic stars also arrive, the severe outcome may be death, while the milder outcome may be illness. If there are stars like the Heavenly and Earthly Official Talismans, and they involve phases related to career, property, or wealth, then legal disputes or penalties may occur, with severity judged similarly.
If stars like the Heavenly Official Talisman, Gate of Mourning, or White Tiger preside over the Life Palace phase, there may be mourning attire or funeral matters. If the birth chart lacks malefic stars, but transiting malefic stars reach the Life Palace phase, misfortunes may still occur; or if the birth chart has benefic stars providing protection, the outcome may be favorable. Other scenarios are analogous and must not be generalized. The fortunes and misfortunes of the birth chart influence one's entire life.
Mars, Rahu, Ketu, and Moon's Node (Juno) are considered malefic stars (🔥 Mars, 🌑 Rahu, ⚫ Ketu, 🌙 Juno), while Jupiter, Spirit, Venus, Mercury, and Saturn are considered benefic stars (🌳 Jupiter, 💨 Spirit, ⚪ Venus, 🌊 Mercury, ⛰ Saturn). For example, if the Life Palace is in Zi, Jupiter and Spirit are malefic stars, while Mars and Rahu are benefic stars; if Mars and Rahu illuminate the Life Palace phase, it may not be inauspicious but rather beneficial, bringing success. Encountering stars like the Red鸾 and Heavenly Joy brings joyous events, but encountering stars like the Blade, Empty Death, Death and Plunder, or the Grand Duke may not bring blessings. If transiting malefic stars like Juno arrive, and Mars and Rahu also arrive, while other stars antagonize the malefic nature of Mars and Rahu, blessings cannot be bestowed. Another example: if Jupiter and Spirit, as transiting malefic stars, reach the Life Palace phase or oppose it, it will inevitably cause unrest. One must also examine whether the ruling stars of the birth chart are in a favorable position and where the transiting planetary phase is located. If the phase reaches a difficult degree and the malefic stars of the birth chart are strong, it indicates severe danger; if the phase reaches a benefic degree and the malefic stars of the birth chart are weak, the arrival of transiting malefic stars will bring severe misfortune. Detailed distinctions must be made for events like illness, lawsuits, or mourning attire.
Encountering the Year Breaker, Grand Duke, Death and Plunder, or Heavenly Official Talisman will inevitably lead to lawsuits; transiting stars like the Gate of Mourning, White Tiger, Heavenly Wail, and Visiting Funeral indicate light mourning attire or severe bereavement of loved ones. Stars like the Wandering Star, Sickness Talisman, Death Talisman, Disheveled Head, and Bloody Blade indicate illness, ranging from mild sickness to severe death, determined based on the birth chart's planetary phase and whether there are overlapping influences. Malefic stars presiding over the Life Palace bring light misfortune; presiding over the phase palace brings severe misfortune, with the same logic applying to auspicious and inauspicious outcomes. The source of concern is the Grand Duke, and the source of joy is also the Grand Duke. If the Grand Duke presides over the Life Palace phase, the year may be peaceful and joyous; but if the Grand Duke presides over the Life Palace phase, the year may be filled with repeated disasters or multiple mourning events. If benefic stars fill the phase, it is auspicious; if malefic stars fill it, it is inauspicious. Further judgment must be made based on the mutual generation and restraint of the Five Elements, the harmony or conflict with the Life Palace phase, and whether the opposition is direct or indirect: direct opposition will inevitably bring misfortune, while indirect opposition is harmless. Additionally, the auspicious or inauspicious nature of the birth chart's stars in opposition must be considered, starting from the Grand Duke: first the Grand Duke, second the Sun, third the Gate of Mourning, fourth the Moon, fifth the Official Talisman, sixth the Death Talisman, seventh the Year Breaker, eighth the Dragon Virtue, ninth the White Tiger, tenth the Rolled Tongue, eleventh the Visiting Funeral, and twelfth the Sickness Talisman. The fortune or misfortune is determined based on the location of the Life Palace or the palace where the Moon is located, and the auspicious or inauspicious nature of the transiting stars. Mars and Rahu first appear, Ketu and Juno last appear, and Jupiter and Spirit appear simultaneously, all indicating events that have not yet occurred. The judgment is made based on the Life Palace's position relative to the Grand Duke's deities and spirits. Hence, it is said: the Grand Duke is the master of all evils; entering the Life Palace may not necessarily be inauspicious, but if it encounters a conflicted position, it will inevitably bring punishment to the birth chart.
This illustrates the Grand Duke as the unifying force of all deities. The Grand Duke is like the emperor of the year: in the year of Zi, it resides in Zi; in the year of Chou, it resides in Chou; in the year of Yin, it resides in Yin; in the year of Mao, it resides in Mao; in the year of Chen, it resides in Chen; in the year of Si, it resides in Si; in the year of Wu, it resides in Wu; in the year of Wei, it resides in Wei; in the year of Shen, it resides in Shen; in the year of You, it resides in You; in the year of Xu, it resides in Xu; in the year of Hai, it resides in Hai. All other evils follow it in sequence, cycling repeatedly to distribute auspicious and inauspicious outcomes.
The key to judging the fortune or misfortune of the year lies in the configuration of stars in the birth chart (at the time of birth) and their interaction with the transiting stars (of the current year). The Life Palace is the reference point, and the presence, opposition, or conjunction of stars such as malefic stars (Mars, Rahu, Ketu, Juno) and benefic stars (Jupiter, Spirit, Venus, Mercury, Saturn) determines the outcomes. The Grand Duke, as the ruler of the year, governs all evils, and its auspicious or inauspicious nature depends on its harmony or conflict with the Life Palace phase.
In a modern context, this is similar to personal annual fortune analysis, based on the interaction between one's birth chart (natal chart) and the celestial phenomena of the year (transits). For example:
This reflects the philosophy of cosmic resonance: the interconnection between individuals and cosmic cycles. It emphasizes causality and cycles—the birth chart sets the foundation, while transits trigger events. From a modern perspective, it encourages self-awareness: how external events (transits) resonate with one's internal state (birth chart), rather than passively accepting fate. It提示 balance and adaptation: auspicious and inauspicious outcomes are not absolute but depend on how one responds to changes.
