独夫处世，休言无子即忘情；君子治家，难道一身兼作仆? 必须使嬖，乃足使令于前；若不螟蚙，焉继宗支于后? 须别来占，方知主用；用不宜动，动必难留? 主不可伤，伤须夭折? 衰入墓中，拟定委靡不振；旺临世上，决然干蛊有成? 动化空亡，有始无终之辈；蛇合官鬼，多谋少德之人? 临玄武而化兄爻，门户须防出入；遇青龙而连福德，货财可付经营?
若逢太过及空亡，反主少诚兼懒惰? 用爻生合世爻，必得其力；主象克冲身象，难服其心? 财化子，携子偕来；世合身，终身宠用? 受动变之伤，向后终难称意；得日月之助，他时定见如心? 世与卦身，以和为贵；兄动官鬼，惟静为佳? 兄鬼交重，诚恐将来成讼；三合绊住，须知此去徒劳?
若在间爻，乃是牙人作鬼；如居空地，不过卖主争财? 卦象两官两父，须知事系两头；兄鬼一动一冲，切莫财交一手? 应生世，他来就我；世生应，我去求人? 和合易成，最怕日辰冲破；相冲难就，偏宜动象生扶? 兄爻发动，为诈为虚，卦象乱兴，多更多变? 六爻无父，定无主契之人；两间俱空，未有作中之子? 世获间生，喜媒人之护向；生扶弟出，防卖主之合谋? 父化兄，契虚事假；兄持世，财散人离?
应若空亡，我欲成交徒费力；世如发动，彼来谋合亦难成? 弟因财乏，鬼必疑心? 四覆三番，事机不定，千变万化，卦象无常? 能求不见之形，自喻未来之事?
Overall Paraphrased Translation
A person living in the world cannot abandon emotional sustenance simply because they have no heirs; how can a noble person manage a household by taking on all affairs alone? One must have capable assistants to be of immediate use; if one does not adopt an heir, how can the family lineage be continued? It is necessary to use divination to discern, in order to clarify the dominant factors. The operative line should not be in motion; if it moves, it becomes difficult to retain. The main image must not be harmed; if harmed, it may lead to an early demise. If the operative line is weak and enters the tomb, it is destined to be listless and unproductive. If it is strong and appears near the line of self, it will certainly be capable of taking on great responsibilities. If it moves and transforms into emptiness, it indicates a person who starts things but does not finish them. If the Tengshe (Coiled Snake) combines with the official ghost, it often signifies a cunning and unethical individual. When appearing near the Xuanwu (Black Tortoise) and transforming into a brother line, one must guard against theft by insiders. When encountering the Qinglong (Azure Dragon) and connecting with the virtue line, one can entrust them with managing finances.
If the operative line is excessively strong or encounters emptiness, it conversely indicates a lack of integrity and laziness. If the operative line generates and combines with the line of self, one will surely gain their assistance. If the main image restrains or clashes with the line of self, it will be difficult to win their loyalty. If the wife/wealth line transforms into the offspring line, they may bring children along when joining. If the line of self combines with the line of self, they will be entrusted for life. If harmed by moving or transforming lines, they will ultimately prove unsatisfactory in the future. If supported by the daily or monthly stems, they will surely meet expectations in time to come. Harmony is most valued between the line of self and the hexagram body; it is best for the brother and official ghost lines to remain still. If the brother and official ghost lines are repeatedly active, one must guard against future legal disputes. If a three-harmony combination is obstructed, know that the effort will ultimately be in vain.
If the brother and official ghost lines are in the intermediary lines, it indicates intermediaries are secretly causing trouble. If they reside in empty lines, it is merely the seller haggling over price. The appearance of two official lines and two parent lines in the hexagram indicates the matter involves two parties. When brother and official ghost lines are alternately moving and clashing, avoid having finances handled by a single person. If the line of response generates the line of self, the other party will actively seek me out. If the line of self generates the line of response, I must take the initiative to seek the other person. Harmony and combination make matters easy to succeed, but one most fears the day stem breaking this. Conflict makes matters difficult to succeed, yet it is favorable for moving lines to generate support. Movement of the brother line indicates deception and falsehood. A hexagram with chaotic movement indicates numerous changes and reversals. If the hexagram lacks a parent line, there is certainly no leading party to the contract. If both intermediary lines are empty, there is no reliable middleman. If the line of self receives generation from the intermediary lines, it is pleasing as it indicates the mediator's covert assistance. If the brother line receives generation and support, one must guard against the seller colluding in fraud. If the parent line transforms into a brother line, the contract is insubstantial and the matter is false. If a brother line holds the line of self, both people and wealth will ultimately scatter to nothing.
If the line of response is empty, my desire to close the deal will be futile effort. If the line of self moves, even if the other party wishes to cooperate, success is difficult. Movement of the brother line is due to insufficient wealth; movement of the official ghost line inevitably indicates lingering doubts. Repeated upheavals mean the situation is changeable and difficult to settle. An inconstant hexagram foretells a thousand changes and transformations. By deducing unseen images, one can naturally foresee future events.
This chapter analyzes matters of "adding members to the household" such as employing people, adoption, and transactions through hexagram imagery. It emphasizes the influence of the generative and restrictive relationships between host and guest, the strength and weakness of line positions, and movement and change on the success or failure of human affairs. The core lies in discerning the generation, combination, clash, and restriction between the "operative line" and the "line of self/response" to judge the reliability and development trends of human relationships.
