楠曰：子遥巳，取甲子日甲子时，盖取子中癸水，遥运巳中戊土，戊土动丙火。丙火合辛金，甲木取辛金为官星也。忌四柱天干有庚金七煞绊住甲字，但此遥远作合，理亦通也。月令有正格可用为是，无正格以此取用。此下场近是百非，屡试亦有验。畏西方申酉戌巳酉丑运，实了官星也。
《喜忌篇》云甲子日再遇子时，畏庚辛申酉丑午。
曰此格旧传以甲子日见甲子时，其子遥合巳宫戊土，来动丙，又去合酉中辛金为官星，要行身旺乡，如月令通木，方论岁运。及四柱中忌有辛申酉字为官杀填实，子忌丑字绊住，午字冲子，不能去遥，并未有喜官运之说，而《格解》喜官运何也？作曰：此格固不可见正官星，若生春月，又坐印重重，并生冬月，印愈旺矣。无官则身旺无极，岁运遇见官星，多有资财昌盛，功名显达，大富贵者，作尝验之矣。故曰木旺得金，方成栋梁，官印两全，乃是贵人。此待格局，亦当通变，不可执一，以为不可见官星，《格解》此说极是。经曰：“通变以为神”，是也。观古歌云：“甲子重逢甲子时，休言生旺不相宜。月生日主根元壮，运入官乡反得奇。”则《格解》非无稽也，可见矣。蔌者不司此歌，改月生日主根元壮而为无根壮，又改运入官反得奇而为反不奇，俱非。办以生春月冬月，干支水木太多者论，要轻重较量。如生伤官食神印绶财官之月，只以六格断之，不可作予遥。不然则差之毫厘，谬之千里。
己亥 乙亥 甲子 甲子 古钱丞相造
自十六七后，就行金乡酉申运，并运干庚辛金四十年不断，官至宰相，则生月多印绶，当行官运也明矣。
丙寅 壬辰 甲子 甲子 古赵知府造
三十旬内，行申酉官乡运，功名显达，官至知府，则生春身旺之月，喜行官旺也明矣。岂可以遥巳为皆不可见官星填实哉。
《鹧鸪天》云：甲临子位日时全，遥作蟾宫折桂仙。癸水子中遥巳动，丙戊相合用禄权。
财滚滚，福绵绵，白衣脱去紫维穿。庚辛申酉丑午绝，富贵荣华四十年。
The Zi Yao Si Pattern is a special configuration in Bazi (Four Pillars of Destiny) analysis 🌊, based on the combination of the day pillar Jiazi (甲子) and the hour pillar Jiazi (甲子). Its core principle involves the distant interaction between the Gui Water (癸水) in the Zi (子) branch 🌊 and the Wu Earth (戊土) in the Si (巳) branch ⛰. This interaction activates the Bing Fire (丙火) 🔥 in Si, which then combines with the Xin Metal (辛金), allowing the Jia Wood (甲木) to obtain Xin Metal as its Officer Star (representing career and authority). This pattern is disrupted if the four pillars contain Geng Metal (庚金), the Seven Killings star, as it obstructs the function of Jia Wood. It is also unfavorable to have the earthly branches Shen (申), You (酉), Chou (丑), or Wu (午), as they can break the distant combination mechanism.
Traditionally, this pattern requires the month branch to facilitate Wood qi (e.g., spring or winter months) and a strong Day Master (身旺) to be valid. If the month branch indicates another standard pattern (e.g., Wealth & Officer pattern), that standard pattern should take precedence; the Zi Yao Si Pattern is only considered if no standard pattern applies. In practice, while sometimes questioned, this pattern has proven effective repeatedly ⚡. Fortunes are unfavorable in the West (Shen, You, Xu) or metal-dominated cycles (e.g., Si-You-Chou), as they can solidify the Officer Star, rendering it ineffective.
The Xiji Pian (喜忌篇) emphasizes: For a Jiazi day and Zi hour, avoid the characters Geng, Xin, Shen, You, Chou, and Wu.
Historical Controversy: Older texts suggest this pattern cannot coexist with the Officer Star. However, the Gejie (格解) proposes that when the Day Master is extremely strong (e.g., Wood flourishing in spring or Water abundant in winter), entering an Officer luck cycle can反而 bring wealth and nobility. This reflects the concept of "adaptation and change" (通变) — flourishing Wood needs Metal's carving to become useful 🎯; having both Officer and Seal stars complete the noble profile. Therefore, one should not rigidly avoid the Officer Star but judge flexibly based on the Five Elements' balance in the specific chart. If the month branch indicates patterns like Hurting Officer, Eating God, or Wealth & Officer, the analysis should follow the Six Standard Patterns, not force the Zi Yao Si Pattern, lest a slight deviation leads to a great error ❌.
Case Evidence:
Summarized in Zhegutian lyrics: Jiazi day and hour complete, distant combination brings nobility; Gui Water moves Si, Bing Fire-Wu Earth combine power; wealth and blessings abound, commoner becomes high official; avoid Geng, Xin, Shen, You, Chou, Wu; nobility can last forty years 🌟.
The essence of the Zi Yao Si Pattern is the "distant combination" mechanism: Using the Gui Water (癸水) 🌊 in the Zi branch to indirectly activate the Wu Earth (戊土) ⛰ and Bing Fire (丙火) 🔥 in the Si branch, ultimately combining to produce the Xin Metal Officer Star. This reflects the philosophy of "indirect interaction" in Bazi — connections exist indirectly rather than being directly visible. The key is a strong Day Master (sufficient Wood qi) and the absence of disruptive factors (e.g., Geng Metal, Chou, Wu) to successfully obtain nobility.
In modern terms, this pattern can be analogized to "resource integration and indirect achievement" 🎯. For instance, in a career context, gaining promotion opportunities (Officer Star) indirectly through connections or environmental factors (like Water generating Wood), rather than through direct competition. But note:
Modern Scenario Application Suggestions:
If this pattern is identified, it can translate into decision-making points:
This pattern contains the Eastern philosophy of "indirectness" and "adaptation" (通变):
