顺逆不齐也，不可逆者，其气势而已矣。
原注：刚柔之道，可顺而不可逆。昆仑之水，可顺而不可逆也，其势已成，可顺而不可
逆也；权在一人，可顺而不可逆也；二人同心，可顺而不可逆也。
任氏曰：顺逆之机，时退不悖而已矣，不可逆者，当令得势之神，宜从其意向也。故四
柱有顺逆。其气自当有辨，五行有颠倒，作用各自有法，是故气有乘本势而不顾他杂者，气
有借他神而可以成局者，无有从旺神而不可克制者，无有依弱资扶者，所以制杀莫如乘旺，
化杀正以扶身，从杀乃依权势，留杀正尔迎官。其气有阴有阳，阳含阳生之兆，阴含阴化之
妙；其势有清有浊。浊中清，贵之机，清中浊，贱之根。逆来顺去富之基，顺来逆去贫之意，
此即顺逆之微妙，学者当深思之。书云“去其有余补其不足”，虽是正理，然亦不究深浅之
机，只是泛论耳。不积压四柱之神，不拘财、官、杀、印、食伤之类，乘权得势局中之神，
又去助其强暴。谓二人同心或日主得时秉令，四柱皆拱合之神，谓权在一人。只可顺其气势
以引通之，则其流行而为福矣，若勉强得制，激怒其性，必罹凶咎。须详察之。
庚辰 庚辰 庚申 庚辰
辛巳 壬午 癸未 甲申 乙酉 丙戌
天干皆庚，又坐禄旺，印星当令，刚之极矣，谓权在一人。行伍出身，壬午癸未运，水
盖天干地支之火，难以克金，故无害；一交甲申，西方金地及乙酉合化皆金，仕至总兵；丙
运犯其旺神，死于军中。癸酉 甲子 庚辰 甲申
癸亥 壬戌 辛酉 庚申 己未 戊午
庚辰日元，支逢禄旺，水本当权，又会水局，天干枯木无根，置之不论，谓金水二人同
心，必须顺其金水之性。故癸亥壬运，荫庇有余；戌运制水，还喜申、酉、戌全，虽见刑丧
地而无大患，辛运入泮，酉运补廪，庚运登科，申运大旺财源；一交已未，运转南方，刑妻
克子，家业渐消。戊午触水之性，家业破尽而亡。
壬子 辛亥 乙亥 丙子
壬子 癸丑 甲寅 乙卯 丙辰 丁巳
壬水乘权坐亥子，所谓昆仑之水，冲奔无情，丙火克绝，置之不论，遗业颇丰，乙卯甲
寅，顺其流，纳其气，入学补廪，丁财并益，家道日隆。一交丙运，水火交战，刑妻克子，
破耗异常；辰运蓄水无咎；丁巳运连遭回禄两次，家破身亡。
Modern Vernacular Interpretation of Ditian Sui·Compliance and Defiance
In a fate configuration, the elemental forces exhibit differences between compliance and defiance. What truly cannot be defied is the momentum of elements that have already gathered formidable strength.
Key Points from Original Annotation:
The principle of rigidity and flexibility favors compliance over defiance. Like the torrential waters of the Kunlun Mountains🌊, they can only be channeled, not obstructed. If a certain element has become dominant (e.g., in-season and well-supported) or the fate configuration shows "authority vested in one" (a single heavenly stem dominating the entire chart) or "two hearts beating as one" (two forces forming an alliance), one must comply with its momentum.
Deepening Insights from Ren Tiejiao's Annotation:
The crux of compliance and defiance lies in seizing the moment without opposing the momentum. Special attention should be paid to:
- The intent of in-season and well-supported elements must be followed.
- Elemental combinations can be pure or turbid: turbidity concealing purity is the mark of nobility, while purity mixed with turbidity is the root of poverty.
- Transforming defiance into compliance is the foundation of prosperity, whereas shifting from compliance to defiance portends impoverishment.
Core Principle: Controlling the Seven Killings is inferior to leveraging strong momentum to neutralize them. The Killing Followers configuration is essentially aligning with powerful authority. Retaining the Killing can even welcome the Official Star. The momentum of Yin and Yang each holds its mysteries: Yang harbors vitality, while Yin conceals transformation. If the fate configuration shows "two hearts beating as one" (a strong alliance) or "authority vested in one" (an extremely strong Day Master ruling the entire chart), one must only channel its momentum for blessings—forcing control will invite disaster!
Original Text: Geng Chen, Geng Chen, Geng Shen, Geng Chen
Great Cycles: Xin Si → Ren Wu → Gui Wei → Jia Shen → Yi You → Bing Xu
Analysis: Four Geng Metal stems seated on prosperous bases🌰, with three Chen Earth branches generating Metal, forming an "authority vested in one" extreme rigidity configuration. In the Ren Wu and Gui Wei cycles, Water and Fire cannot harm the strong Metal, posing no issue. During the Jia Shen and Yi You cycles, Metal energy flows unimpeded, leading to a promotion to Brigade Commander (division-level). In the Bing cycle, Fire provokes the raging Metal, resulting in death on the battlefield.
Original Text: Gui You, Jia Zi, Geng Chen, Jia Shen
Great Cycles: Gui Hai → Ren Xu → Xin You → Geng Shen → Ji Wei → Wu Wu
Analysis: Geng Metal born in the Zi month, where Water is strong, with the Shen, You, and Chen branches combining into a Metal formation. The Jia Wood stems, rootless, are abandoned, forming a "Metal-Water two hearts beating as one" momentum🌊⛰. From the Gui Hai to Geng Shen cycles, complying with the Metal-Water momentum ensures smooth progress in imperial examinations and official career. In the Ji Wei cycle, Earth defies the Water momentum, leading to family decline. In the Wu Wu cycle, Fire and Earth provoke the Water God, resulting in loss of both life and wealth.
Original Text: Ren Zi, Xin Hai, Yi Hai, Bing Zi
Great Cycles: Ren Zi → Gui Chou → Jia Yin → Yi Mao → Bing Chen → Ding Si
Analysis: The four pillars exhibit overwhelming Water energy🌊🌊 (three Zi and one Hai), with the Bing Fire stem floating weakly, utterly suppressed. The Jia Yin and Yi Mao cycles channel Water energy through Wood, bringing family prosperity. In the Bing cycle, Fire and Water clash, causing financial loss and bereavement. In the Ding Si cycle, Fire provokes the raging Water, leading to death in a fire.
