财绝当为僧道，官囚好作尼姑。日随逢聚，六位定逢恩德。为仆迁移，命宫独守离星。阴阳绝空，蓬垢堂前使唤，五行全备，可羡美貌花容。七杀会刃，卢氏引刀剔目。一官清秀，孟光举案齐眉。官印扶身，倚户倚门求活。水金缠度，逾垣钻穴相窥。丙辛戊癸相交，偷情于月下。甲己丁壬垢合，舞乐以搏钟。官弱财强，先偏而后正。伤官印绶，先妾而后妻。男多女少，皆因阳盛阴衰。男少女多，只为阴神太重。
When the Wealth Star in the Eight Characters is weak or in exhaustion, one may tend to become a monk or Taoist priest 🙏; if the Official Star is trapped or imprisoned, it may lead to becoming a nun. If the Day Master receives support and consolidation, the Six Relatives’ palaces will inevitably encounter blessings and favor. The Life Palace solely guarded by the Leaving Star ✨ may result in becoming a servant or frequent relocation. If the Yin and Yang elements are exhausted and empty, one may end up humbly serving in the halls; if the Five Elements are complete and well-balanced, one will be admired for their flower-like beauty 🌺. The conjunction of the Seven Killings and the Blade may trigger extreme behaviors, such as the decisive act of Lady Lu gouging out her eyes; if the Official Star is pure and outstanding alone, marriage can be harmonious, like Meng Guang lifting the tray to eyebrow level in respect ❤️. If the Official Star and Seal support the Day Master, one may still rely on others for survival, leaning on the door for support; if Water and Metal entangle the Degree, one might secretly peep by climbing walls or drilling holes. The combination of Bing-Xin and Wu-Gui may lead to clandestine affairs under the moonlight 🌙; the combination of Jia-Ji and Ding-Ren may indicate a fondness for singing, dancing, and revelry, like striking bells in celebration 🎵. If the Official Star is weak and the Wealth Star is strong, one may have a concubine before marrying the principal wife; if the Hurting Officer and the Seal Ribbon coexist, one may take a concubine before marrying the wife. A society with more men and fewer women often stems from excessive Yang and weak Yin in the Eight Characters 🔥; fewer men and more women result from an overabundance of Yin elements 🌊.
The core of this poetic text lies in explaining the profound impact of the Ten Gods, the Five Elements, and the balance of Yin and Yang in Eight Characters metaphysics on life paths. Through the interactions of elements such as Wealth, Official, Day Master, and the Five Elements, it predicts individual career tendencies (e.g., monks, Taoists, nuns), marital status (e.g., concubine before principal wife,妾 before wife), social roles (e.g., servants, beauties), and even gender ratio issues. It emphasizes that "balance" is key—excessive or weak elements lead to specific life trajectories, such as abandoning worldly life when Wealth is exhausted or entering monastic life when the Official is trapped. This reflects the philosophy of "extremes leading to reversal" in traditional metaphysics.
In modern society, these concepts can be translated into symbolic analyses of personal traits and life courses rather than absolute predictions. For example:
Practically, this can be used for self-reflection: if the Eight Characters show weakness in certain elements, one can proactively adjust life strategies, such as focusing on financial planning if Wealth is weak or enhancing professional skills if the Official is trapped.
This text deeply explores the ancient proposition of fate versus free will. It implies that life is influenced by innate configurations but also leaves room for change through the concept of "balance" (e.g., complete Five Elements can improve conditions). From a modern perspective, this can be extended as follows: the environment (Eight Characters elements) sets initial conditions, but personal choices and actions (postnatal efforts) are the dominant factors. It encourages a dialectical view—accepting innate traits while actively adjusting to pursue harmony (e.g., balancing Yin and Yang). This also reflects on Determinism vs. Agency in traditional culture, reminding us to respect ancient wisdom while avoiding fatalism, instead drawing resilient wisdom from it to cope with life.
