月建干支，利于用神为善。
月建干支，不利于有神为恶。
月建干支，利于用神，但为局中他神克运河或合住，善而不善，然亦不恶，平庸而已。
月建干支，不利于用神，但为局中他神克去或合住，恶而不恶，然亦不善，平庸而已。
月建善，流年亦善，则更妙。
月建善，流年恶。则善中有恶。
月建恶，流年亦恶，则更恶。
月建恶，流年善，则恶中有善。
月建善，惟被局中某神克合，若流年制住克合之神，则仍佳妙。

月建善，惟被局中某神克合，若流年生辅克合之神，则凶多吉少。

月建善，流年再生助之，则更善。
月建恶，充年再生助之，则更恶
月建善，流年若克挫之，则善力减轻。

月建看法，月干重于月支，因干流动，而支固定。月建即流月也。或以干为上半月，支为下半月，不甚可信，总宜干支合看。亦有以月支所藏人元，分何者当旺几天，而定几天吉凶，更不足信，盖完全偏重于月支。成如此说，则月建可无须月干矣。看命中强弱，且不能以建中人元旺几天而标定，况流年中之流动月建耶。
正月必为寅月，二月必为卯月，月支固定，故不若月干之重视。然而时令与月建，颇有关系焉。特叙述如后。
（一）春令木旺，甲寅月、乙卯月、甲辰月，则木更盛。丙寅月、丁卯月、丙辰月，则火得木生而亦强。戊寅月、己卯月、戊辰月，则土被木克而不健。庚寅月、辛卯月、庚辰月，则金为木挫而无力。壬寅月、癸卯月、壬辰月，则水受木泄亦疲弱。
（二）夏令火旺。丁巳月、丙午月、丁未月，则火更盛。己巳月、戊午月、己未月，则土得火生而亦强。辛巳月、庚午月、辛未月，则金被火熔而不健。癸巳月、壬午月、癸未月，则水为火灼而无力。乙巳月、甲午月、乙未月则木受火泄亦疲弱。
（三）秋令金旺。庚申月、辛酉月、庚戌月，则金更盛。壬申月、癸酉月、壬戌月，则水得金生而亦强。甲申月、乙酉月、甲戌月，则木被金克而不健。丙申月、丁酉月、丙戌月，则火为金磨而无力。戊申月、己酉月、戊戌月土受金泄亦疲弱。
（四）冬令水旺，癸亥月、壬子月、癸丑月，则水更盛。乙亥月，甲子月，乙丑月，则木得水生而亦强。丁亥月、丙子月、丁丑月，则火被水克而不健。己亥月、戊子月、己丑月，则土因水泛而无力。辛亥月、庚子月、辛丑月，则金受水泄亦疲弱。
（五）四立前各十八天土旺。戊辰月、己未月、戊戌月、己丑月，则土更甚。庚辰月、辛未月、庚戌月、辛丑月，则金得土生而亦强。壬辰月、癸未月、壬戌月、癸丑月，则水被土克而不健。甲辰月、乙未月、甲戌月、乙丑月，则木为土折而无力。丙辰月、丁未月、丙戌月、丁丑月，则火受土泄亦疲弱。
If the heavenly stem and earthly branch of the monthly construction are favorable to the favorable god in the fate chart, it is a good situation 🌟; if unfavorable, it is a bad one 👎. Even if the monthly construction is favorable but is restrained or combined by other elements in the fate chart, its benefits will be diminished, making it mediocre. Conversely, if an unfavorable monthly construction is restrained or combined, its drawbacks will also be reduced, similarly resulting in mediocrity.
If the monthly construction is good and the annual transit is also good, it will bring even greater fortune 🎉; if the monthly construction is good but the annual transit is bad, the goodness will be mixed with badness; if both the monthly construction and annual transit are bad, it will be even worse 💥; if the monthly construction is bad but the annual transit is good, the badness will be mixed with goodness. If the benefits of the monthly construction are restrained by an element in the fate chart, but the annual transit restrains this restraining element, the outcome will still be favorable. Conversely, if the annual transit strengthens the restraining element, the situation will likely be unfavorable. If the drawbacks of the monthly construction are restrained, and the annual transit strengthens the restraining element, it will bring more good than bad. If the monthly construction is good and the annual transit further supports it, it will be even better; if the monthly construction is bad and the annual transit supports it, it will be even worse. If the monthly construction is good but the annual transit restrains it, the benefits will be reduced; if the monthly construction is bad and the annual transit restrains it, the drawbacks will be lessened.
In the analysis of the monthly construction, the heavenly stem of the month is more important than the earthly branch of the month, as the heavenly stem is dynamic while the earthly branch is fixed 🌀. The monthly construction refers to the monthly transit. Some practitioners use the stem to represent the first half of the month and the branch to represent the second half, but this is not very reliable. It is better to consider the stem and branch together. Others use the hidden stems within the earthly branch of the month (human element) to determine fortune or misfortune over a few days, but this is even less reliable, as it overemphasizes the earthly branch of the month. If this approach were taken, the heavenly stem of the month would serve little purpose. The strength or weakness of a fate chart cannot be determined solely by the hidden stems' influence over a few days, let alone the dynamic monthly construction.
The earthly branch of the month is fixed (e.g., the first month is always the Yin month), so it is not as highly regarded as the heavenly stem of the month. However, the seasonal timing is closely related to the monthly construction 🌍. The specifics are as follows:
The monthly construction (the monthly stem and branch) determines fortune or misfortune by influencing the favorable god in the fate chart. It requires consideration of interactions with the annual transit and other elements. It emphasizes dynamic balance: favorable factors may be weakened, while unfavorable factors may be mitigated, reflecting the principle of the middle path amidst change.
In a modern context, the monthly construction is similar to "monthly fortune" analysis but is based on the Bazi system. It reminds us that any advantage may be interfered with by external factors (e.g., interpersonal relationships, environmental changes), while disadvantages may be transformed by timing. For example, a good project at work (favorable monthly construction) may face team conflicts (restrained by other elements), reducing its effectiveness. Conversely, a difficult month (unfavorable monthly construction) may be alleviated with support (favorable annual transit). The approach criticizes superstitious practices that over-rely on the earthly branch or fixed segmentation, advocating instead for holistic analysis.
The theory of monthly construction embodies the Eastern philosophical view of change: fortune and misfortune are not absolute but constantly transform through interaction. This resonates with modern systems thinking—the relationships between elements determine the overall state, not isolated factors. It encourages seeking balance amidst uncertainty and cultivating adaptability.
