坎离宰天地之中气，成不独成，而有相持者在。
原注：天干透壬癸，地支属离者，乃为既济，要天气下降；天干透丙丁，地支属坎者，乃为未济，要地气上升。天干皆水，地支皆火，为交媾，交媾身强则富贵；天干皆火，地支皆水，为交战，交战身弱，岂能富贵？坎外离内，谓之未济，主之所喜在离，要水竭，主之所喜在坎，则不详；离外坎内，谓之既济，主之所喜在坎，要离降，主之所喜在离，要木和。水火相见于天干，以火为主，而水盛者存；坎离相见于地支，喜坎而坎旺者昌。夫子、午、卯、酉专气也，其相制相持之势，宜悉辨之；若四生四库之神，皆所以党助子午卯酉者，其理亦可推详。
任氏曰：坎阳也，先天位右七之数，故为阳也；离阴也，先天位左三之数，故为阴也。坎为中男，天道下济，故一阳生于北；离为中女，地道上行，故二阴生于南。离为日体，坎为月体，一润一暄，水火相济，男女媾精，万物化生矣。夫坎离为日月之正体，无消无灭，而宰天地之中气，是以不可独成，必要相持为妙也。相持之理有五，升、降、和、解、制也。升者，天干离衰，地支坎旺，必得地支有木，则地气上升；降者，天干坎衰，地支离旺，必得天干有金，则天气下降；和者，天干皆火，地支皆水，必须有木运以和之；解者，天干皆水，地支皆火，必须有金运以解之；制者，水火交战于干支，必须岁运视其强者而制之。此五者，坎离之作用如此，则无独成之势，而有相持礼智之性矣。
丙子 己亥 丙寅 戊子
庚子 辛丑 壬寅 癸卯 甲辰 乙巳
丙火生于孟冬，又逢两子，天干离衰，地支坎旺，用寅木以升之也。至壬寅，东方木地，采芹折桂；卯运出仕，一路运走东南，仕至观察。
壬午 壬寅 壬戌 庚戌
癸卯 甲辰 乙巳 丙午 丁未 戊申
壬水生于孟春，支全火局，虽年月两透比肩，皆属无根。天干坎衰，地支离旺，用庚金以降之也。惜乎运途东南，在外奔驰四十年，一无成就；至五旬外，交戊申，娶妻三，年已六旬矣。连生三子，至戌运而终。
丙子 丙申 丙子 丙申
丁酉 戊戌 己亥 庚子 辛丑 壬寅 癸卯 甲辰
此造地支，两申两子，水逢生旺，金作水论；天干四丙，地支无根，离衰坎旺，须以木运和之也。惜乎五行不顺，五十年西北金水之地，故艰难险阻，刑伤颠沛；五旬外运走壬寅，东方木地，财进业兴，及癸卯甲辰，发财数万。
癸巳 壬戌 壬午 壬寅
辛酉 庚申 己未 戊午 丁巳 丙辰
壬午日元，生于戌月，支会火局，年支坐巳，天干皆饮，地支皆离，必须金运以解之也。初交辛酉庚申，正得成其既济，解其财杀之势，叨化日之光，丰衣足食；一交己未，刑耗异常，戊午财杀并旺，出外遇盗丧身。
壬子 丙午 壬子 丙午
丁未 戊申 己酉 庚戌 辛亥 壬子
此造水火交战于干支，火当令，水休囚，喜其无土，日和不克。初交丁未，年逢戊午，天克地冲，财杀两旺，父母双亡，流为乞丐；交申运逢际遇，己酉运发财数万，娶妻生子成家.
Kan Li (water and fire) governs the core energies of heaven and earth. They cannot exist in isolation but must balance each other to achieve a harmonious pattern.
Zi, Wu, Mao, and You represent pure energies, and their balancing relationships must be carefully discerned. The earthly branches of the Four Births (Yin, Shen, Si, Hai) and Four Treasuries (Chen, Xu, Chou, Wei) essentially amplify the energies of Zi, Wu, Mao, and You.
Water and fire represent the polarities of yin and yang (Kan as the moon 🌙, yang in nature; Li as the sun ☀️, yin in nature). Their interplay gives birth to all things. Balancing Kan and Li requires five methods:
The "mutual restraint" of Kan and Li reveals a fundamental cosmic law: The symbiosis of opposing forces is the source of sustainable development. So-called "wealth and status" are manifestations of inner yin-yang harmony, not external pursuits.
Bing fire born in winter, earthly branches with double Zi water 🌊, heavenly stems weak in fire 🔥. Using Yin wood 🌱 to draw earthly energy upward, the Ren Yin cycle (wood phase) brought academic success, and the Mao cycle launched a smooth career.
**Modern Insight**: In harsh conditions (water dominance), leverage growth-oriented resources (wood 🌱). In careers, prioritize organizations with robust training systems when foundational skills are weak.
Ren water born in spring, earthly branches a full fire formation 🔥, heavenly stems with water 🌊 lacking roots. Metal was needed to subdue fire, but major cycles moved southeast (wood-fire), resulting in struggle; only in late-life metal cycles did family prosperity emerge.
**Modern Insight**: When resources are scarce (weak water), avoid reckless expansion (strong fire). Deepen expertise (metal) and wait for timing—success comes more steadily in later years.
Heavenly stems with four Bing fires 🔥, earthly branches with double Shen-Zi water 🌊. Li weak, Kan strong—wood 🌱 was needed for balance. The first 50 years of metal-water cycles brought hardship; the Ren Yin cycle (wood) unlocked wealth.
**Modern Insight**: Extreme conflict (e.g., mismatched resources and ambition in entrepreneurship) demands third-party mediation (wood = networks/platforms).
Ren water seated on Wu fire, earthly branches a fire formation 🔥, heavenly stems abundant in water 🌊. Metal cycles (Xin You, Geng Shen) dissolved the water-fire clash, bringing wealth; fire-earth cycles (Ji Wei, Wu Wu) intensified conflict, leading to misfortune.
**Critical Turn**: Metal cycles symbolize "structured management," while fire-earth cycles reflect "reckless investment." In modern terms, systems (metal) curb impulsive decisions.
Heavenly stems and earthly branches in direct water-fire conflict 🔥🌊. Early fire-dominant cycles saw parental loss; metal cycles (Shen, You) subdued fire and nourished water, enabling a dramatic turnaround.
**Survival Strategy**: In high-conflict destinies (e.g., high-risk professions), leverage cycles that "drain fire" (metal = skills/certifications) to transform risk.
⚖️ Critical Thought: Classical texts describing outcomes like "earning thousands in wealth" reflect Qing Dynasty economics (silver standard). Modern applications should prioritize "energy ratios" over literal event predictions.
