夫天清而动者，其位尊。地浊而静兮，其位卑。故处尊者，斡运而不息，处卑者，守静而专位。是以位尊者干，位卑者支，故干配于支，有德秀者，有凌克者，有气雄者，有气弱者，凡辨象择其年月日时，德用多少者，遇本属者从本属，遇运气则从运气断。
凡看命者，先须理求精当，详远审近。以妇从夫，或以夫从妇。从其夫用之，或从其妇用之。夫若有气则从夫，妇若有气则从其妇。凡有气无气，须看配用何支。若在有气处，则从其有气断。若在无气处，则从无气断之。故人之生也，以太岁为本，以日月为主，出乎月建，通乎岁君，此乃极高命也。假令精当者丙寅甲寅，残薄者，戊寅壬寅。以上观之，则可知也。
其富贵者，本命与月时辅日，或临德秀之方，更用生旺之地。方辨阴阳，循环顺逆。故阳死阴生，阴死阳生。阳金受气于寅顺行，阴木受气于酉逆行。故一隅为例，则三隅而可知矣。富者多逢生旺，贵者多遇官乡。假令甲以辛为官，己以丙为贵，至如勾陈得地，落壬申，位至三台，玄武当权，遇亥子，官封一品。癸见庚申为武职，辛逢戊子中高科，此乃见真官而贵也。至如富者，莫不五行气足。假令甲辰辰甲戌落寅亥，金帛盈家。丁亥丁卯到酉亥，珍珠满室。又或六甲为主，到庚辛重死徒刑。六丙日身亥子，的应贫贱。或遇化者，不拘此例。
丙辛化水，到亥子位列天庭。丁壬化木，临寅位身居宰职。或有气无官，可作生涯於技艺，如见财无气，仅任吏职于官司。阴水有秀，失地者身为僧道。阳火无归，遇水兮定作凶徒。金到火乡，财多聚散。旺水入火地，家道荣昌。头面有损，酉金逢于甲乙。眼目有灾，丙火沉于亥子。是以日克者为妻，妻生者为子。考其生旺，定其死绝。子临旺位必多，时到败中必绝。
详论时辰，须分形状。金木相面多青白，壬癸相面多黑色。壬得气而肥，癸失时而瘦。火相面赤而圆，土象色黄而厚。木象带青而秀长，兼主聪明仁义。火好礼而性急，金好杀而刚直。土主信而敦崇，水方圆而多智。如此校量，时辰定矣。
更详运之得失，须借身而言之，得地失时，如田畴之渴雨。得时失地，如损块于涂泥。得时者易为举擢，失运者难以升迁。故火到南方而荣，水临北位而显。木入金乡而衰，土到南方而疾。旺处生而死处灭，死处生而旺处脱。更要干神相助，我克者为先。举祖者当有五焉，破禄则亡，气绝则病。时临鬼位，更遇克者则伤。生值败乡，复见临官而绝。
更详凶会，太岁与二动俱伤。运遇此凶，如何脱厄。今参详古圣法式。发明吉凶，度量轻重，然后看命，推论五行，真象取用于日之间，校其吉凶，百发百中故巫咸之书，乃真经秘诀。
Overall Paraphrased Translation
Between heaven and earth, that which is clear, ascending, and active belongs to the noble position, while that which is turbid, heavy, and still belongs to the humble position. Therefore, the heavenly stems, occupying the noble position, operate ceaselessly 🌪, while the earthly branches, occupying the humble position, remain still and guard their positions ⛰. The pairing of heavenly stems and earthly branches may result in outstanding virtue 🌱, mutual conflict ⚔️, vigorous energy 🔥, or weak energy 💧. To discern a person’s life pattern, one must comprehensively analyze the year, month, day, and hour, examining the abundance or scarcity of virtue and function—encountering the inherent five elements leads to judgment based on their nature, while encountering major cycles or yearly influences leads to judgment based on fortune.
The primary goal of destiny analysis is precision and appropriateness, considering both long-term trends and recent movements. It is akin to the relationship between husband and wife: sometimes the wife follows the husband, and sometimes the husband follows the wife. If the husband’s star is vigorous 🌳, judgment follows the husband; if the wife’s star is vigorous 🌷, judgment follows the wife. The presence or absence of vigor depends crucially on the paired earthly branch. If it occupies a position of vigor, judgment follows vigor; if it occupies a position without vigor, judgment follows lack of vigor.
Human destiny takes the year’s stem as its foundation and the day and month as its pillars. If the day master gains the vitality of the month’s establishment and also connects with the energy of the year, it signifies an exceptionally high destiny 🔥. For example, Bingyin and Jiayin often indicate refined and precise configurations, while Wuyin and Renyin often indicate残缺 or meager outcomes.
Wealthy and noble individuals often have their natal destiny and the month and hour supporting the day master, or they occupy positions of virtue and excellence, further enhanced by thriving locations. It is essential to discern the principles of the cyclical alternation of yin and yang: when yang dies, yin is born; when yin dies, yang is born. For instance, yang metal receives energy in Yin and proceeds顺行, while yin wood receives energy in You and proceeds逆行. Understanding one example allows inference of others, and类推 reveals the rest.
Wealth and nobility often arise from thriving conditions, while prominence and success often come from obtaining official positions. For example, Jia finds its official in Xin, while Ji finds its nobility in Bing. When Gouchen attains its position and meets Renshen, it may reach the highest ranks; when Xuanwu is in power and encounters Haizi 🌊, it may attain the first-grade official title. Gui meeting Gengshen is suitable for military roles, while Xin meeting戊子 often leads to high scholarly achievements—these are all cases of encountering true officials and attaining prominence.
As for the wealthy, they often have充足五行 energy. For example, Jiachen and Jiaxu meeting Yinhai may lead to abundant wealth; Dinghai and Dingmao reaching Youhai may result in treasures filling the house. However, if the六甲 day master encounters multiple Geng and Xin, it often indicates penalties or death; the六丙 day master reaching Haizi often indicates poverty and low status. If transformation patterns occur, these rules do not apply.
Bing and Xin transforming into water and reaching Haizi may lead to positions in the imperial court; Ding and Ren transforming into wood and reaching Yin 🌳 may lead to high ministerial positions. Those with energy but no official position may rely on skills to establish themselves; those who see wealth but lack energy may only hold minor official roles. Yin water with excellence but losing its position often leads to monastic or Taoist paths; yang fire without归属再遇 water必定 becomes a凶徒. Metal reaching the fire region may experience fluctuating wealth, while thriving water entering the fire location may bring family prosperity.
You metal meeting Jia and Yi may lead to head or facial injuries; Bing fire sinking into Haizi may cause eye-related ailments. What the day master restrains is the wife, and what the wife generates is the child. Examine their conditions of thriving, death, and extinction: a child in a thriving position will likely be numerous; an hour in a败 position will likely lead to extinction.
When analyzing the hour, one must discern physical characteristics: metal and wood combinations often result in青白 complexions, while Ren and Gui combinations often result in dark complexions. Ren with energy tends to be plump, while Gui losing its timing tends to be thin. Fire combinations feature red and round faces, earth combinations feature yellow and thick features. Wood governs intelligence, kindness, and righteousness; fire governs礼仪 but impatience; metal governs rigidity and a tendency toward aggression; earth governs honesty and trustworthiness; water governs adaptability and wisdom. This is how to determine the hour.
It is further essential to examine the gains and losses of major cycles in conjunction with one’s own condition: gaining position but losing timing is like dry fields longing for rain; gaining timing but losing position is like fine jade trapped in mud. Those who gain timing are easily promoted; those who lose fortune struggle to advance. Fire reaching the south thrives 🔥; water reaching the north excels 🌊; wood entering the metal region declines; earth reaching the south falls ill. Thriving leads to death where it arises; death leads to脱 where it thrives. Additional support from heavenly stems is needed, with what the day master restrains taking priority.
There are five凶象: broken禄 leads to loss; exhausted energy leads to illness; the hour临鬼位再遇 restraint leads to injury; birth in a败乡复见临官 leads to extinction. If the year and two dynamics are both harmed, encountering such misfortune in fortune makes it difficult to escape calamity. Refer to the methods of ancient sages, uncover吉凶, measure their severity, and then analyze destiny based on the five elements,取用 within the day master, and evaluate吉凶 to achieve perfect accuracy—this is the secret经典 of巫咸.
