论大运
夫大运者，以天干日五运，地支日六气，故名运气。 子平之法，大运看支，岁君看干，郊运同接木，何也?且 干支二字，六十甲子之说，用花字，若天干地支得其时，
则自然开花结子盛矣。月令者，天元也，今运就月上起。 警之树苗，树之见苗，则知名。月之用神则知其格，故谓 郊运，如同接木，然命有根苗花实者何，正合此意。岂不 宜矣!出癸入甲，如返汗之人，且如甲戌接癸亥，此乃干 支接木。丑运郊寅，辰郊已，未郊申，戌郊亥，此乃转角 接木，东南西北四方转角，谓之接木。格局凶者死，格局 善者灾。寅卯辰一-气，申酉戌一气，巳午未--气，亥子丑 …气，气之相连，皆非接木之说。且如甲乙得寅卯连，名 曰劫财败财，主克父母及妻，破财争斗之事。行丙丁巳午 运，名伤官运，主克子女，讼事囚系。庚辛申酉运，名官 乡，主得名。发越太过，则灾病恶疾。行壬癸亥子运，名 生气印绶运，主吉庆增产。辰戌丑未戊己财运，主名利皆 通，此乃死法譬喻。须随格局喜忌推之，不可执一。妙在 识其通变，如官行衰运，干弱宜旺运，正乃干弱则求气旺 之籍。有余则不足，须要通变。更兼孤害空亡勾绞丧门吊 客墓病死官符白虎诸煞推之，其验如神。又一法，羊刃桃 花。伏吟，返吟，休因，死绝衰败者凶。遇帝旺临官，禄 马贵人生养、冠带库者吉，如空者凶，凶亡空者返吉，吉 者返凶。大运不宜与太岁相克相冲者凶，更刑冲相克者亦 忌，岁冲克运者吉，运克岁者凶。格局不吉者死，岁运相 生者吉。禄马贵人合郊互者，亦吉。宜审岁推之，无不验 也。
日为根，月为苗，年为花，时为实，实者结果也， 以人一生喻之，用神月支所藏者，如子宫取癸水之类；
转用郊运，如同换木，犹忌大风摇动则折。行运比之， 若遇恶杀流年相克，亦必主凶，如寅郊卵郊辰，乃东方 一气，谓之移花，虽有忌星亦不损之。此命比之，虽遇 恶星亦不伤命，遇运气好则主吉，若运气不好实主凶。
论太岁吉凶
太岁乃年中天子，故不可犯，犯之则凶。命书云：日 犯岁君，灾殃必重，云云。且如甲日，见戊士太岁是也， 克重者死。甲乙生寅卯亥未日时者，犯克太岁，决死无疑。 有救则吉，乃八字庚辛酉巳金局是也。经云：戊已愁逢甲 乙，干头须要庚辛。或丙丁火局焚木，有灾勿咎。效此推 之，或得已合甲亦解之，大抵太岁不可伤之。相生者吉， 乃五行有救，其年返必为财。犯太岁者，其年必主凶丧。 克妻妾丧财，是非犯上之悔。加以勾绞、空亡、咸池、宅 墓、病符、死符、白虎、羊刃，诸煞并临，祸患百出，神 煞加临。轻重推之，干不克岁，犹忌运克岁。若加岁运冲 刑，羊刃冲合，主破耗丧事，遇有贵人禄马释之稍吉。八 字中有救无危。经云：太岁乃众煞之主，入命未必为灾。
若遇战斗之乡，必主刑于本命。
且如甲日生，遇流年是戊，木年克土之故，谓之日 犯岁，君主凶。倘柱中原有庚金制其甲，甲已受制则不 能克戊土，谓五行有救。戊乃甲之偏财，则反招财，故吉。余仿此。
Major Cycles (Dayun) refer to the Heavenly Stems representing the Five Movements and the Earthly Branches representing the Six Qi, hence collectively termed "Yunqi" (Fortune Qi). In Ziping命運理 (a school of Chinese astrology), the Earthly Branches are primarily considered for Major Cycles, while the Heavenly Stems are considered for the flowing year's Year Guardian (Taisui). The so-called "Jiao Yun Tong Jie Mu" (Fortune connecting like grafting wood) is a metaphor: the Stems and Branches are like trees, with the sixty Jiazi cycle represented by flower characters; if the Stems and Branches are in their proper season and command, it is like a tree naturally flowering and bearing fruit 🌱. The Month Command (Yueling) is the Celestial Yuan (source), and Major Cycles are calculated starting from the month. It is akin to a sapling—seeing the sprout reveals the tree's name. The Month Command's Useful Spirit (Yongshen) determines the pattern (Geju). Thus, Major Cycles are like grafting wood (Jie Mu). Destiny has root, sprout, flower, and fruit, which perfectly corresponds to this idea.
Exiting Gui (癸) and entering Jia (甲) is like a person changing clothes after sweating; Jiaxu (甲戌) connecting to Guihai (癸亥) is the grafting of Stems and Branches. Chou (丑) cycle connecting to Yin (寅), Chen (辰) connecting to Si (巳), Wei (未) connecting to Shen (申), Xu (戌) connecting to Hai (亥)—this is called corner-turn grafting (Zhuanjiao Jiemu, grafting at the four corners). For those with inauspicious patterns, it means death; for those with good patterns, it means disaster. Continuous Qi like Yīn-Mǎo-Chén (寅卯辰) as one breath or Shēn-Yǒu-Xū (申酉戌) as one breath does not count as grafting. For example, for a Day Master of Jia (甲) or Yi (乙) getting Yīn (寅) or Mǎo (卯) cycle, it is called the Rob Wealth (Jiecai) and Failing Wealth (Bai Cai) cycle, indicating overcoming parents, wife, wealth loss, and conflicts; undergoing Bǐng (丙), Dīng (丁), Sì (巳), or Wǔ (午) cycles is called the Hurting Officer (Shang Guan) cycle, indicating overcoming children, lawsuits, or imprisonment; undergoing Gēng (庚), Xīn (辛), Shēn (申), or Yǒu (酉) cycles is called the Officer's Homeland (Guan Xiang) cycle, indicating gaining fame but excess leading to disaster or illness; undergoing Rén (壬), Guǐ (癸), Hài (亥), or Zǐ (子) cycles is called the Seal Ribbon (Yin Shou) cycle, indicating auspicious celebrations and increased production; undergoing Chén (辰), Xū (戌), Chǒu (丑), Wèi (未), Wù (戊), or Jǐ (己) cycles is called the Wealth (Cai) cycle, indicating success in fame and wealth. But these are just rigid metaphorical rules; one must deduce based on the pattern's likes and dislikes, not be stubborn—the wonder lies in flexible adaptation 🔥. For example, if the Officer Star is in a declining cycle, a weak Stem (Gan) needs a prosperous cycle; this is precisely the principle of a weak Stem seeking prosperous Qi. Excess and deficiency require flexible handling. It must also be combined with the verification of mystical stars such as Loneliness and Harm (Guhai), Empty Death (Kongwang), Entanglement (Goujiao), Bereavement Gate (Sangmen), Funeral Guest (Diaoke), Tomb (Mu), Illness (Bing), Death (Si), Official Seal (Guanfu), White Tiger (Baihu), etc.—their verification is spirit-like. Another method: encountering Blade of Wealth (Yangren), Peach Blossom (Taohua), Repeating Verse (Fuyin), Opposing Verse (Fanyin), Rest (Xiuyin), Death, Exhaustion, or Decay is inauspicious; encountering Emperor's Prosperity (Diwang), Approaching Officer (Linguan), Salary Horse (Luma), Nobleman (Guiren), Growth (Yang), Crown and Belt (Guandai), or Repository (Ku) is auspicious; Empty Death (Kongwang) is inauspicious, but if the inauspicious is empty, it is conversely auspicious, and if the auspicious is empty, it is conversely inauspicious. Major Cycles should not conflict with or clash with the Year Guardian (Taisui)—this is inauspicious; even more taboo are mutual penalties, clashes, or conflicts. The year clashing with or overcoming the cycle is auspicious; the cycle overcoming the year is inauspicious. For those with inauspicious patterns, it means death; if the year and cycle mutually generate, it is auspicious. Combinations of Salary Horse, Nobleman, and mutual interactions (Jiao Hu) are also auspicious. Examine the year and deduce—there is no lack of verification.
The Day Pillar is the root, the Month Pillar is the sprout, the Year Pillar is the flower, and the Hour Pillar is the fruit (result), using a human life as a metaphor. The Useful Spirit (Yongshen) lies within what is stored in the Month Branch, like taking Gui Water (癸水) from the Zǐ (子) palace; transitioning to use Jiao Yun (Fortune) is like changing wood,忌讳大风摇动折损 (taboo strong wind shaking and breaking). Applying the cycle analogy, encountering a malicious killing flowing year that overcomes will certainly be inauspicious. Yīn (寅) connecting to Mǎo (卯) connecting to Chén (辰), the eastern one-breath is called moving flowers (Yi Hua); although there are taboo stars, there is no damage. In this destiny analogy, although encountering evil stars, it does not harm life; if the fortune is good, it is auspicious; if not good, it is inauspicious.
The Year Guardian (Taisui) is the Son of Heaven within the year and must not be offended; offending it brings inauspiciousness. Destiny texts say: The day offends the year ruler, disaster and calamity will surely be heavy. For example, a Jia (甲) day seeing an Earthly Taisui of Wù (戊土), if the overcoming is heavy, it means death. For those born on Jiǎ (甲) or Yǐ (乙) days at Yīn (寅), Mǎo (卯), Hài (亥), or Wèi (未) day or hour, offending and overcoming the Taisui means certain death without doubt; if there is rescue, it is auspicious, such as if the Eight Characters have a metal formation of Gēng (庚), Xīn (辛), Yǒu (酉), or Sì (巳). The texts say: Wù and Jǐ (戊己) worry upon meeting Jiǎ and Yǐ (甲乙); on the stem heads, there must be Gēng or Xīn (庚辛). Or a fire formation of Bǐng or Dīng (丙丁) burning wood—there will be disaster, but do not blame. Or obtaining Jǐ (己) combining with Jiǎ (甲) also resolves it. Generally, the Taisui must not be injured; mutual generation is auspicious. If the Five Elements have rescue, that year反而为财 (conversely becomes wealth). Those who offend the Taisui will experience凶丧 (inauspicious bereavement), overcome concubines, wealth loss, and conflicts with superiors in that year. Adding Entanglement (Goujiao), Empty Death (Kongwang), Wanton Pool (Xianchi), House Tomb (Zhai Mu), Illness Talisman (Bingfu), Death Talisman (Sifu), White Tiger (Baihu), Blade of Wealth (Yangren), and other killing stars arriving, calamities emerge endlessly. The arrival of mystical stars should be deduced for severity. If the Stem does not overcome the year, one should still be cautious of the cycle overcoming the year; adding year-cycle clash and penalty, Blade of Wealth clash and combination, indicates loss, consumption, and funeral matters; encountering Nobleman, Salary Horse is slightly auspicious. If the Eight Characters have rescue, there is no danger. The texts say: The Taisui is the master of all killing stars; entering destiny未必为灾 (may not necessarily be a disaster); but if it encounters a land of battle, it will surely penalize the original destiny.
For example, born on a Jiǎ (甲) day, flowing year Wù Earth (戊土)—Wood overcoming Earth is called the day offending the year ruler, indicating inauspiciousness. However, if the pillar has Gēng Metal (庚金) controlling Jiǎ (甲), and Jiǎ is controlled and thus does not overcome Wù, it is called the Five Elements having rescue. Wù is the partial wealth of Jiǎ,反而招财 (conversely attracting wealth), hence auspicious. The rest仿此 (follow this example).
