既识中和之正理，而于五行之妙，有全能焉。
原注：中而且和，子平之要法也："有病方为贵，无伤不是奇"，举偏而言之也。至于格中如去病，财禄两相宜，则又中和矣，到底中和，乃为至贵。若当令之气数，或身弱而财官旺地，取富贵不必于中也；用神强，取富贵而不必于和也；偏其古怪，取富贵而不必于中且和也。何也？以天下之财官，止有此数，而天下之人材，惟此时为最多，皆尚于奇巧也。
任氏曰：中和者，命中之正理也。即得中和之正气，又何患名利之不遂耶？夫一世优游，无抑郁而畅遂者，少险阻而迪吉者，为人孝友而无骄谄者，居心耿介而不苟且者，得中和之正气也。至若身弱而旺地取富贵，身旺而弱地取富贵者，必四柱有所缺陷，或财轻劫重，或官衰伤旺，或杀强制弱，或制强杀弱，此等虽不得中和之理，其气却亦纯正，为人恩怨分明，惟柱中所有缺陷，或运又违，因而妻子财禄，各有不足，如财轻劫重妻不足，制强杀弱子不足，官衰伤旺名不足，杀强制弱财不足，其人或志高傲物，虽贫无谄，后至岁运，补其不足，去其有余，乃得中和之理，定然起发于后，有第见富贵而生谄容，遇贫穷面作骄态者，必四柱偏气古怪，五行不得其正，故心事奸贪，作事侥幸也。若所谓"有病有药，吉凶易验，无病无药，祸福难推"，此论仍乃失之偏。大凡有病者显而易取，无病者隐而难推。然总以中和为主，犹如人之无病，由四肢健旺，营卫调和，行止自如，诸多安适：设使有病，则忧多乐少，举动艰难，如无良药医之，岂不为终身之患乎？
辛巳 甲午 癸卯 癸亥
癸巳 壬辰 辛卯 庚寅 己丑 戊子
癸卯日元，生于亥时，日主之气已贯，喜其无土，才旺自能生官。更妙巳亥遥冲，去火存金，印星得用，木火受制，体用不伤，中和纯粹。为人智识深沉，器重荆山璞玉，才华卓越，光浮鉴水珠玑。庚运助辛制甲，自应台曜高躔，朗映紫薇，微嫌亥卯拱木，木旺金衰，未免嗣息艰难也。此莫宝斋先生造。
己酉 丙子 癸未 戊午
乙亥 甲戌 癸酉 壬申 辛未 庚午
此王观察造，癸日子月，似乎旺相，不知财杀太重，旺中变弱，局中无木，混浊不清，阴内阳外之象。月透财星，其心意必欲爱之；时逢官杀，其心志必欲合之。所以权谋异众，才干过人，出生末微，心术不端。癸酉得逢际遇，由佐二至观察，奢华逢迎，无出其右；至未运不能免祸。所谓欲不除，似蛾扑灯，焚身乃止；如猩嗜酒，鞭血方休.
18. Neutralization and Harmony
Understanding the core principle of "neutralization and harmony" allows one to fully grasp the mysteries of the Five Elements' operation 🌱.
Neutrality and harmony are the fundamental laws of Bazi destiny analysis 🔥. The ancient saying, "Imperfection is precious, and flawless is unremarkable," refers to the special value of unbalanced configurations; but the true embodiment of neutralization and harmony is "eliminating flaws within the configuration, where wealth and status coexist harmoniously" ⚖️. Neutralization and harmony represent the highest noble configuration 🌟. In reality, those with weak Day Masters who attain wealth and status in prosperous financial or official positions, or those with strong useful gods who achieve prosperity, or even those with eccentric destiny configurations who gain wealth—these do not strictly conform to neutralization and harmony. Because social resources are limited, and when talents abound, unconventional methods often prevail 🌪️.
Ren's Supplement: Neutralization and harmony are the truths of destiny 💡. Those who embody the righteous energy of neutralization and harmony naturally achieve fame and fortune with ease: their lives are smooth and unobstructed 🏞️, they are filial, friendly, and upright, and their hearts are bright and clear 🌞. Conversely, those with weak Day Masters who attain wealth or strong Day Masters who achieve prosperity inevitably have flaws in their destiny configurations—such as light wealth and heavy competition, or weak officials and strong harm ⛰️. Although such individuals may have righteous energy and clear distinctions between gratitude and resentment, their destiny configurations are lacking (e.g., insufficient wives or children), making them prone to arrogance. Only when their major cycles (Da Yun) compensate for these flaws can they approach neutralization and harmony and achieve prosperity later in life 🚀. If someone flatters in wealth and acts arrogantly in poverty, their destiny configuration must be eccentric and unbalanced ❌, with improper Five Elements, leading to deceitful and greedy tendencies.
The ancient saying, "A flawed destiny with a remedy makes fortune easy to predict, while a flawless destiny without a remedy makes fortune hard to discern," is actually biased ⚡. Flawed destinies are conspicuous and easy to judge, while flawless destinies are subtle and hard to discern 🌫️. Yet neutralization and harmony remain the foundation: just as a healthy person enjoys robust limbs 💪 and a comfortable life, those with flaws, if lacking remedies, will suffer lifelong afflictions 🩺.
The Day Master Gui Mao (癸卯) is born during the Hai (亥) hour, with the Day Master's energy flowing strongly 🌊. Fortunately, there is no Earth to disturb it; wealth flourishes and generates official status. The distant clash between Si (巳) and Hai (亥) removes Fire and preserves Metal 🔢, making the Seal Star effective and restraining Wood and Fire ⛰️, resulting in a pure and neutralized configuration. This person possesses profound wisdom like uncut jade from Jing Mountain 🧠 and exceptional talent like pearls from the Jian River 💎. The Geng (庚) cycle aids Xin (辛) in controlling Jia (甲), leading to smooth official career progress ✨; however, the Hai-Mao (亥卯) combination strengthens Wood, causing Metal to weaken, resulting in difficulties with offspring 👨👦.
Gui Water (癸水) is born in the Zi (子) month 🌊, appearing strong on the surface but actually weakened due to excessive wealth and killing energy 🌪️. The absence of Wood in the configuration creates turbidity, manifesting as a yin-internal, yang-external phenomenon 🌓. The wealth star in the month pillar fosters greed 💰, while the official and killing stars in the hour pillar encourage sycophancy 🎭. This destiny exhibits remarkable strategic prowess but unethical tendencies ⚔️. During the Gui You (癸酉) cycle, opportunities arise, elevating the individual from a minor position to an observer, marked by extreme luxury and flamboyance �; the Wei (未) cycle brings disaster, leading to self-destruction like a moth to a flame 🔥.
Neutralization and harmony represent the highest ideal in Bazi destiny analysis, emphasizing the balance of the Five Elements and harmony of energies ⚖️. The "flaw-remedy theory" is merely a special case for unbalanced configurations. True noble configurations require holistic neutralization and harmony, reflecting health, smoothness, and moral integrity 🌱.
| Destiny Type | Potential Risks | Mitigation Actions |
|---|---|---|
| Unbalanced Flaws | Lack of spouse/children/fame | Strengthen family ties or professional focus |
| Righteous Energy but Adverse Cycles | Temporary setbacks | Await cycle shifts + skill development |
| Eccentric Ethics | Moral collapse | Self-reflection + ethical constraints |
Neutralization and harmony embody dynamic balance philosophy 🌐: not absolute perfection but cycles of flaws and corrections. Case 2's "moth to a flame" illustrates the self-destructive nature of desires 🔥, resonating with existentialist discussions on the boundaries of freedom 🤔—true "fortune" requires inner restraint and outer harmony.
