夫六亲者：父、母、兄弟、妻财、子、孙是也。
用日干为主：正印正母；偏印偏母及祖父也；偏财是父，乃母之夫星也，亦为偏妻；正财为妻；偏财为妾，为父是也；比肩为兄弟姐妹也；七杀是男；正官是女；食神是男孙；伤官是女孙及祖母也。
妇人命取六亲，与男命不同：取官星为夫星；七杀是偏夫；食神是男；伤官是女。
经云：『男取剋干为嗣，女取干生为子息及奴婢也。』
年为祖上，月为父母伯叔兄弟门户，日为妻妾己身。
且如六亲受剋何如？印綬见财，剋母及祖母也；见比劫阳刃，剋妻妾及父也；官杀多者，难为兄弟；伤官食神多，难为子息；梟印伤孙，剋祖母也。
譬如：正印作合母不正；财作合妻不正；官作合女不正；偏财作合妾不正；比肩作合姊妹不正；伤官作合祖母不正；食神作合孙女不正。
假如甲日为主，见癸为母，见戊辰戌为父及妾，见己丑未午字，则与戊字相争夺，又伤癸水，剋母之义明矣；见甲寅字，剋父及妾；见庚申字，主剋兄姊也；见乙卯字剋弟妹；见丙巳字剋子女也；餘倣此。此必以岁运见何字，则剋何人；更将冲剋衰旺向背，将来者进，功成者退。兼有孤神寡宿，旬中有空亡者忌，二三反吉。
金空则鸣，火空则发，水空则流，此三者上吉；木空则朽，土空则崩，二者主凶。当以本生年起，剋害无疑也。
《六亲捷要歌》★分禄须伤主馈人，比肩重叠损严亲；正财剋母偏财父，夫妇相刑值退神。食神有寿妻多子，偏官多女少麒麟；乘旺伤官嗣必绝，中和印綬自荣身。
The Six Relatives refer to: father, mother, brothers, wife (or spouse/wealth), sons, and grandsons.
Taking the Day Stem (the heavenly stem of the birth day) as the core:
For female birth charts, the Six Relatives are interpreted differently:
The ancient text Yuan Hai Zi Ping states: "For men, the Ten Gods that restrict the Day Stem represent descendants; for women, the Ten Gods generated by the Day Stem represent children and servants."
The Year Pillar represents ancestors, the Month Pillar represents parents, uncles, siblings, and the family household, while the Day Pillar represents the wife, concubines, and oneself.
Scenarios where Six Relatives are afflicted:
Examples:
Using the Day Stem Jia (甲) as an example:
Specific afflictions depend on the stems and branches appearing in the year's fortune, combined with clashes and strength: "New growth advances; the accomplished retreat." If there are signs of Solitary or Widow Stars or Empty Marks (e.g., starting from the Year Pillar), caution is needed. However, within Empty Marks:
When inauspicious, the birth year serves as the foundation, and afflictions are certain.
The Six Relatives Quick Guide Song:
"Divided resources harm the household (family conflicts);
Shoulder-to-Shoulder stacked damages the strict parent (father harmed).
Proper Wealth harms the mother; Partial Wealth the father (parents afflicted);
Husband and wife clash, regressing (marital discord).
Eating God brings longevity, many wives and sons (family prosperity);
Partial Officer means more daughters, fewer heirs (imbalanced offspring).
Flourishing Hurt Officer ensures no descendants (lineage ends);
Balanced Seal and Ribbon bring personal glory (self-success)."
The essence lies in how the Eight Characters (Ba Zi) use the Ten Gods (e.g., Proper Seal, Partial Wealth) to map Six Relative relationships, emphasizing the Day Stem as the center and systematizing family structures. The Year, Month, and Day Pillars represent different kinship tiers, while affliction analysis is based on the Five Elements' interactions (e.g., Seal and Ribbon meeting Wealth harms the mother), reflecting the traditional idea of "harmony between heaven and humanity": personal fate is tightly interwoven with family bonds.
In modern society, family structures have shifted from extended families to nuclear families (e.g., parents and children), with more egalitarian gender roles. Concepts like "secondary wives" or "concubines" in the original text need updating: Partial Wealth can represent informal partners or financial supporters, while Seven Killings as "secondary husbands" may symbolize transient relationships. The auspicious/inauspicious nature of Empty Marks (e.g., Metal Empty sings 🔥) can be likened to "opportunities in crises"—Metal Empty mirrors career changes leading to breakthroughs, Fire Empty resembles entrepreneurial bursts 🌱, while Wood and Earth Empty Marks warn of resource depletion risks. Affliction analysis should incorporate psychology: excessive Officer/Killing Stars causing sibling tension may reflect modern interpersonal stress; weak child bonds may correlate with low fertility trends.
This reveals the dialectic of fate and freedom: Six Relative afflictions may seem predetermined (e.g., Seal harming the mother), but "new growth advances" hints at mutability—through self-adjustment (e.g., balancing Seal and Ribbon), one can partially reshape kinship. At a deeper level, it challenges the fatalism of "family as destiny," encouraging a balance between contemporary individualism and respect for traditional bonds (e.g., Year Pillar ancestors), embodying the Eastern wisdom of "harmony in diversity."
