论七强宫
命宫，官禄，妻妾，田宅高强，男女次强，福德，财帛， 近强。
论五弱宫
相貌，奴仆，为陷害。兄弟，为闭极半陷。疾厄，为恶 弱。迁移。为次弱。
论起胎法
子平曰：先推胎息之由，次断变通之理，精命者，不可不用 此。
但从本生月前四位是。如己已月，则前申上是胎。却 数退午一位，于未上将生月天干。已字唤起已未，数至庚
申，乃是胎也。其余仿此。
胎元，受胎之月也。右推贵命，先从胎息之吉凶，相生 扶者责，克陷者贫。
论起息法
取口上天干合处，地支合处是。假如甲子日，天干甲
与已合，又取地支子与丑合，即已丑是息也。余月同此。
论起变法
取时上天干合处，地支合处是。假如丙寅时，取天干 丙与辛合，地支寅与亥合，即辛亥是也。余时仿此。如柱
中天干无辛字，地支无亥字，乃只虚邀为是，不可拘疑。
此等法例，时师不见，不知此义，安能与士夫谈命
哉。
论起通法
假如甲子月寅时，卯上安命，取甲已之年丙作首。起 丙寅，即丁卯是通。余命仿此。其法寅卯相通，辰巳相通，
午未相通，申酉相通，戌亥相通，子丑相通。
通者，过月中之气而相贯串，而宾卵木气相适。
Overall Paraphrased Translation
This chapter systematically elaborates on the theory of palace energy strength and weakness and four methods of destiny calculation: the Seven Strong Palaces represent abundant energy in crucial life areas, while the Five Weak Palaces indicate aspects requiring attention due to energy deficiency. The four methods—Fetal Origin, Breath, Transformation, and Connection—reveal innate energy trajectories through precise calculations, providing core methodologies for in-depth astrological analysis.
Life Palace (self-essence), Career Palace (professional achievements), Spouse Palace (marital relationships), and Property Palace (family assets) belong to high-frequency energy domains;
Children Palace (offspring fortune) is categorized as a secondary strong palace;
Virtue Palace (accumulation of blessings) and Wealth Palace (financial flow) are considered near-strong palaces and require comprehensive judgment by combining other factors.
Modern Interpretation 🌟
The Seven Strong Palaces correspond to core dimensions of modern life: self-actualization (Life Palace), career development (Career Palace), intimate relationships (Spouse Palace), asset allocation (Property Palace), children's education (Children Palace), mental health (Virtue Palace), and economic status (Wealth Palace). When the energy of strong palaces is vigorous, visible achievements are more likely in these areas.
Appearance Palace (external image) and Servants Palace (interpersonal subordination) are prone to negative energy interference (e.g., sabotage);
Siblings Palace (sibling relationships) exhibits semi-enclosed and semi-collapsed energy (partially obstructed and declining);
Health Palace (physical well-being) is a malignant weak energy zone (severely weak);
Travel Palace (development in foreign lands) is a secondary weak palace (moderately weak).
Modern Interpretation 🌟
Weak palaces indicate areas requiring special attention:
Original Logic:
The Fetal Origin refers to the month of conception. To calculate it, count four months backward from the birth month (e.g., the Si month → Shen position), then subtract one position (Wei palace), and finally derive the celestial and terrestrial stems (e.g., Ji month → Jiwei → Gengshen) to obtain the Fetal Origin stems.
Core Concept 💡
The Fetal Origin symbolizes the initial energy imprint of life. If it harmonizes with the original Eight Characters, it enhances the foundation; if it clashes, it weakens innate energy.
Modern Interpretation 🌟
The Fetal Origin can be likened to a key sequence in genetic coding. Its relationship with the Five Elements in the destiny chart reflects:
Practical Value ⚡
Reference for pre-pregnancy planning: Select conception periods where the Fetal Origin harmonizes with the parents' Eight Characters to optimize innate energy configuration.
Calculation Rule:
Take the celestial stem’s five-combination position + the terrestrial branch’s six-combination position (e.g., for a Jiazi day: Jia-Ji combination → Ji, Zi-Chou combination → Chou, resulting in the Breath method Jichou).
Philosophical Reflection 🤔
The Breath method reveals daily energy resonance nodes, embodying the concept of "harmony between heaven and human" in the synchronicity of sun and moon.
Calculation Rule:
Take the celestial stem’s five-combination + the terrestrial branch’s six-combination of the hour pillar (e.g., for a Bingyin hour: Bing-Xin combination → Xin, Yin-Hai combination → Hai, resulting in the Transformation method Xinhai).
⚠️ If the original chart lacks combined stems and branches, it is considered a "virtual invitation" (potential energy state).
Modern Interpretation 🌟
The Transformation method reveals interfaces for spatiotemporal energy conversion:
Calculation Rule:
Based on the method of deriving the month from the year (e.g., for Jia or Ji years, Bing is the starting point), combine with the terrestrial branch’s six-combination groups (Yin-Mao connection / Chen-Si connection / Wu-Wei connection / Shen-You connection / Xu-Hai connection / Zi-Chou connection) to achieve energy continuity.
Deep Principle:
The Connection method enables the cross-linking of monthly energies (e.g., the wood energy of Yin month connecting to Mao month), forming a continuous energy spectrum.
Associated Concepts:
Modern Research:
Taiwanese scholar Chen Pinhong proposed the "Palace Energy Weight Index," validated by big data, showing that the Seven Strong Palaces account for 68% of significant life decisions.
Practical Reminder ⚡
The four methods—Fetal Origin, Breath, Transformation, and Connection—must be applied in conjunction with the specific Eight Characters layout. A single factor does not constitute an absolute judgment basis.
