阴晴寒暑,天道之常,水旱兵灾,年时之变,欲决祸褔于一年,须审吉凶于八卦. 初观万物莫居死绝之乡,次察群黎喜在旺生之地. 三言府县官僚兄动,则征科必逼;四论九卿相冲身,则巡警无私. 五为君上之爻,六为昊天之位. 应亦为天,克世则天心不顺;世还为地,逄空则人物多灾. 太岁逄凶乘旺,有温州之大飓.流年直鬼带刑,成汉寝之轰雷. 发动妻财,旱若成汤之日,交重父母,潦如尧帝之时. 猛烈火官回禄,兴灾于照应.汪洋水鬼玄冥,作祸于江淮.
尤怕属金四海,干戈如鼎沸.更嫌值土千门,疫厉若符同. 逄朱雀而化褔爻,财动则旱蝗相继.遇勾陈而加世位,兄兴则饥馑相仍. 莽兴盗起由,玄武之当官.灾沴异多,因螣蛇之御世. 若在乾宫,天鼓两鸣于元未. 如当震卦,雷霆独异于国初. 艮主山崩临应,则宋都有五石之陨. 坤为地震,带刑则怀仁有二所之崩. 坎化父爻,雨血雨毛兼雨土. 巽兄弟,红风风黑及风施. 日生黑子,宋恭惊离象之反常.沼起白龙,唐玄遭兑金之变异. 发动空亡,乃验天书之诈.居临内卦,定成黑眚之妖. 欲知天变于何方,须究地支而分野.身持褔德,其年必获休详. 世受刑伤,此岁多遭惊怪.年丰岁稔,财褔生旺而无伤. 冬暖夏凉,水火休囚而莫助.
他宫伤克,外番侵凌.本卦休囚,国家衰替.阴阳相合,定然雨风调.兄鬼皆亡,必主民安国泰. 推明天道能知万象之森识透玄机奚啻一年之休咎.
Overall Paraphrase
Sunny or cloudy weather, cold or warm seasons 🌤️❄️ are natural norms; while floods, droughts, wars, and conflicts 🌊⚔️ represent abnormal changes in the year's fortunes. To predict the auspicious or inauspicious events of an entire year, one must rely on the principles of the Eight Trigrams to assess the situation.
First, observe whether all things are in positions of decline or extinction; then examine whether the people receive support and flourishing energy 🌱. If the "Brother" line moves within the official's hexagram, taxation and levies will inevitably be harsh; if high-ranking court officials encounter clashes, law enforcement and patrols may lack fairness. The fifth line symbolizes the ruler, while the sixth line represents heaven. The "Response" line also signifies celestial phenomena; if it overcomes the "Self" line, heaven's will is unfavorable. The "Self" line represents the earth; if it encounters emptiness, disasters will befall both people and events.
If the Grand Year (Tai Sui) meets malevolent spirits and is in a flourishing state, it resembles the great hurricane that struck Wenzhou during the Yuan Dynasty. If the flowing year directly encounters the "Official Ghost" line with punishment, it is like the thunder that shook the Han Dynasty palace ⚡. When the "Wealth" line moves, droughts may rival the great drought during the Shang Dynasty; when the "Parent" line interacts repeatedly, floods may resemble the deluge of Emperor Yao's era 🌧️. A fierce "Fire Official" brings disasters like the fire god Huilu's rampage; a vast "Water Ghost" signifies the water god Xuanming wreaking havoc in the Jianghuai region.
Even more fearsome is the "Metal Official Ghost," which can easily ignite conflicts and wars across the land. Particularly troublesome is the "Earth Ghost" line, as it may lead to widespread epidemics, as if cursed 🦠. When the Vermilion Bird transforms into the "Blessing" line and wealth moves, droughts and locust plagues follow in succession. When the Gou Chen star aligns with the "Self" position and the "Brother" line rises, famine and scarcity compound. Banditry runs rampant when the Black Tortoise governs officials, and frequent calamities occur when the Teng Snake dominates the world.
If in the Qian Palace (☰), celestial drums sound anomalously, akin to the heavenly changes at the end of the Yuan Dynasty. If in the Zhen Hexagram (☳), thunder behaves abnormally, resembling signs from the founding of a nation. The Gen Hexagram (☶) governs mountain collapses; if it aligns with the "Response" line, it is like the five meteorites that fell in the Song capital. The Kun Hexagram (☷) represents earthquakes; if accompanied by punishment, it resembles the two ground subsidences in Huairen. When the Kan Hexagram transforms into the "Parent" line, strange rains of blood, hair, and soil fall from the sky. When the Xun Hexagram aligns with the "Brother" line, red winds, black winds, and eerie winds blow 🌪️.
The sun developing black spots resembles anomalies in the Li Hexagram during Emperor Gong of Song's reign; a white dragon rising from a pond is like the mutation of the Dui Metal Hexagram during Emperor Xuanzong of Tang's era. If movement occurs in emptiness, it may signify false omens like forged celestial texts. If residing in the inner hexagram, it undoubtedly indicates the evil of "black calamities" (dark, ominous mists). To determine where celestial changes will occur, one must investigate the geographical divisions corresponding to the earthly branches.
If one holds blessings and virtue, the year will surely bring good fortune. If the "Self" line suffers punishment and harm, the year will be filled with strange occurrences. A bountiful year and abundant harvests arise from flourishing wealth and blessings without harm. Warm winters and cool summers result from the dormancy and lack of support of water and fire. If other palaces inflict harm, external enemies will invade. If the original hexagram is dormant, the nation will decline. When yin and yang harmonize, winds and rains will be balanced. When both "Brother" and "Ghost" lines are absent, the people will be secure, and the nation prosperous 🇨🇳.
By elucidating the ways of heaven, one can understand the myriad phenomena of the universe. By penetrating the profound mysteries, one can discern far more than just the fortunes of a single year.
