Preface Revision 4 As with each new revision, the content is updated, enlarged and enhanced. Much new content is included on the Flying Stars, though materials are still in chinese. All help with translations are appreciated. Note that not all sections contain materials - they are placeholders for contributions when they come. Obviously with so much added contents, bugs warts and all have increased. A favour you can do us all is to find them and highlight them to me either through forum posts or direct email. Since there is just so much material in this edition, I have decided to prioritise translations of the 紫微斗数stars in the chapter on Complete Star Listings. I have also begun collecting case studies in 紫微斗数and they may be released in Revision 5, though there are no promises on that since there are other aspects of this manual with higher priority.

Preface Revision 1 This is a compilation of my notes and translations of chinese 紫微斗数 material. It is an ongoing process of accumulation and review, so all comments and contributions are welcome. I tend to take an academic stance on compiling my material, with the aim to present a comprehensive coverage of the subject matter as far as reasonably possible. Occasionally the translations are ambiguous or difficult, so if any readers may find a clearer more beautiful way of expressing my translations just drop me a note at
[email protected] with the relevant sections and I will see how to incorporate the changes. Yet some other areas, the translations are not complete. If there is a pressing need to know what the relevant blocks of chinese text mean, do not hesitate to request for an interpretation or translation. I have much translated material but at the moment they are rather badly organised. My intention is to gradually sort through my mess and attempt to present a coherent treatise on this venerable subject by adding to this corpus regularly and substantially. As it stands, the organisation of the material lacks a coherence. With time this will be addressed, but certainly not my priority; rather I have chosen to concentrate on bringing the knowledge sealed away in chinese material so that all may benefit from it. I will be very interested to learn any other techniques used by current students and practitioners of 紫微斗数. At this juncture, I must emphasize that to produce what you have before you now is a massive undertaking. I will appreciate any assistance with spotting typography and more importantly improvement of the expressions in language such that it becomes a coherent whole. I as one person can only do so much.

CHAPTER 1. INTRODUCTION
Commentary — With the proliferation of enormous information yielded by 紫微斗数, it is easy to fall into erroneous conceptions that we are unable to change our life or dictate our future - because so much have been written. Rather, the student should perceive the information as allowing us all to maximise our potential and to minimise risks and avoid pitfalls in life. The future is in our own hands. Assessing 紫微斗数 and Bazi is like peeling an onion. There are so many levels; though the first few levels seems so easy, it rapidly gets more complicated.
23 天 时 ， 地 利 ， 人 合 — A good interpretation is like a having a good road map and compass. It saves us from spending energy on things that either unsuitable or not right at the time. Save your energy for when the time is right. Every dog has his day. A good Destiny consultation will be able to say when. When heaven earth time and people are perfect.
Commentary — This is familiar to all of us, is it not? Their weightage of influence on our lives is the heaviest from the top down, while the amount of control we can exert over them is the biggest from the bottom up. It is more critical to find out our likely trends first than to talk about Fengshui. Once we understand our predispositions can we then use Fengshui to remedy issues. For instance, when both the structural trends and the cycle luck of Estates Domain is good, it is easier for us to get a good house and good Fengshui. When they are the reverse, it is easier for us to get a bad settlement and bad Fengshui.

Study Guide
This section was prepared because the materials herein has ballooned in proportions. A fresh initiate will be overwhelmed by the deluge of information, and initially be lost with the study or get caught up in details too early on. I will attempt to provide a rough direction of approach as a beacon of light, just as others have provided that to me.
• Know the 14 major stars inside out • Know where the major stars like to be • Know the Elements and 阴阳 parity of the stars • Know how the 三方四正interacts • Know the various templates for readings (Personality, Wealth level, Relationship etc)... • Be fluent with 四化歌决Si Hua Ge Jue or the table to draw the 四化. The Four Transformations play an increasingly greater role in advanced interpretations and will stand the student in very good position to have a sound command of these stars’ placement. Knowing the 14 Major Stars inside out is not about rote memorisation of how they behave in different palace or their full details. We need to understand the content of the 封神演义and relate the characters in it to the corresponding star, not just the 14 major star. Once you understand the character well, you will naturally able to imagine how the star would react when encountering certain situations Understand and remember that the 三方corresponds to the Three Harmony of the Zodiac. In fact, we need not know the various templates for readings if we are able to fully understand the stars characteristics. Yes, we can learn and memorized all the characteristic of the stars by hard but the furthest we can go is stuck in the 死盘as hardly would a master willing to disclose the actual way they read a 活盘to the public freely.

CHAPTER 1. INTRODUCTION
Chapter 2
History 人算不如天算 吾算不如众算 佛怕因众生怕果 修得正因, 必得正果 Elements of the system of 紫微斗数 was devised by a Taoist named Lu Chunyang (吕纯 阳). It was subsequently refined, improve and properly documented by Chen Xiyi (陈希夷) during the Northern Song(960 to 1127) Dynasty and yet again later on by Luo Hongxian (罗 洪先) during the Ming( 1368 to 1644) Dynasty to the present day format. Its exact origin, however, is still debated among the different schools. Official historical records and unofficial notes from the Song Dynasty have never associated Chen Xiyi with Chinese metaphysics and therefore not be taken as a guaranteed historical context. This method was popular during the Ming and Qing period and it is still very popular today. Although 紫微斗数 has achieved the goal of providing strong competition to Bazi analysis because has the capacity to give enormous specific details, the methodology did not flourish for the next 1,000 years for two reasons. First, while able to provide detailed readings, the method did not provide the logic of the interpretations, and it was seemingly not based on profound theoretical basis like Ziping Bazi. Second, it has become the exclusive instrument of the Bureau of Astronomy of the Ming and Qing Dynasties, used only to serve the ruling Emperor of China. Therefore, Ziping Bazi was the only well known main stream destiny analysis method until the recent times, when some masters began teaching 紫微斗数 openly after World War II. Chinese Astrology has always been closely intertwined with Astronomy. Gifted astronomer/astrologers were recruited as officials to work in Imperial Courts during the dynastic eras. In those days, astrological charts were delineated for the Emperor as his personal fate has a direct bearing on that of his kingdom. The court astrologers also played an important role in determining the successor to the throne. Astrologers observed the stars and noticed that among so many stars, only one was seemingly stationary while the rest revolved around it. As it was also the brightest, the chinese courtiers named it the”Emperor Star” - the celestial equivalent of the Emperor. That star is known as 27

CHAPTER 2. HISTORY
Polaris in astronomy.
Polaris (αUMi / αUrsae Minoris / Alpha Ursae Minoris, commonly North(ern) Star or Pole Star, and sometimes Lodestar) is the brightest star in the constellation Ursa Minor. It is very close to the north celestial pole (42′away as of 2006), making it the current northern pole star. Due to the precession of the equinoxes, Polaris will not always be the pole star. Over tens of thousands of years, perturbations to the Earth’s axis of rotation will cause it to point to other regions of the sky, tracing out a circle. Other stars along this circle were the pole star in the past and will be again in the future, including Thuban and Vega.

Classic Texts
There are only two openly published ancient scriptures on 紫微斗数. The first is Zi Wei Dou Shu Quan Ji (紫微斗数全集) by Chen Xiyi(陈希夷) - The Complete Compilation of Zi Wei Dou Shu. It is a four part manual that describes the original techniques. The other is Zi Wei Dou Shu Quan Shu (紫微斗数全书) - the Complete Book of Zi Wei Dou Shu. Errors and contradictions have subsequently been found within this book, the most obvious being the teaching of a different way to begin Decade cycles, called Da Yun. There exists also other unpublished texts called Kou Jue (口诀), which are verbal instructions in rhyme, passed on separately in different schools from teachers to disciples. Their existence is due to the secretive nature in teaching in the old days, and they vary from one school to another, perhaps the result of different emphases on the principles and applications, enriched with personal inspirations and testimonies from different teachers. There are only several schools in 紫微斗数, but the number can be considered one too many when there was only one original teaching. However, this is quite an acceptable phenomenon since teaching was not done in an open, systematic and orderly manner in the old days, and printing was not as refined, both lead to minor differences being created along the way.

Various Sects
As of 2009, there are two main schools of thought in 紫微斗数. The first emphasizes on reading the stars, is broadly categorised under 三合派系. The other places an emphasis on reading 四化, and is therefore broadly classified as 四化派系.
2.2.1
San He Types — 三合 派系
In the 三合(San He,Three Combination) System, the characteristic of any domian (e.g. career, wealth, health etc) are determined by studying the stars in the court in conjunction with the stars in the courts that form a triangle. Often the stars in the court that is directly opposite are also considered in the analysis.

Zhong Zhou Sect — 中州 派 起源在洛阳，祖师是白玉蝉和吴景鸾，据说，每代只收一个弟子口述相传。直到王亭之先生 公开所学以后，才命名为中州派。在王亭之先生之前，有陆斌兆先生这一个分支，所以严格 来说，中州派也分为两派。 虽然王亭之先生发表过的研究和著作都比较多，但却鲜有听闻有打著「王亭之中州派」 的传人出来发表和论命。反而陆斌兆先生一脉的传人比较广为熟识。但无论如何，学习紫微 斗数的人，大多对王亭之先的书不陌生，进而认识中州派的学说。 在香港最为人所熟识的紫微斗数派系有二。陆斌兆先生以所承传的『世传钦天监秘笈』 见称，而王亭之先生则以『紫微星诀』享誉盛名。但因未听闻有其他人能拥有这两本声称是 口口相传的秘芨，外界只能从他们的著作中窥豹一斑。中州派著重星曜赋性和星情格局、论 命要求推理的能力。例如，一系列的星跟另一系列的星碰上，就会产生变化；论命的法则就 是从这些变他中推衍出来。总括来说，中州派的理论是比较接近传统「全书」和「全集」等 古籍的学派。但王亭之先生一派除了对星星情有更深入的研究外，对四化的运用也比传统的 用法更多采多姿。 除了星系互涉之外，庚、戊和壬干的四化星也和传统的有所不同，而 在流年诸星如：流昌曲、红鸾、羊陀和禄马等等的运用上，也都是别树一格的。 紫微斗数的组成，分星曜与宫垣两大部份。所以论断斗数可以分两个步骤： 第一， 先研究各宫的星曜组合，与及跟三方四正星曜组合的关涉，由此构成一个「星系」。 第 二、再根据星系的性质，研究各宫垣关涉的情况。这时候，应该打破三方四正的限制。譬如 研究一侗人的事业，当然理会及「事业宫」的「三方四正」，即「命宫」「夫妻宫」「财帛 宫」。但余此之外，从一个人的「福德宫」亦应该可以帮助推断人的事业，因为「福德宫」 所主，乃一个人的思想，思想是否保守，抑或流於偏激，自然亦可影响到个人事业的进退。 当推算流年或大限之时，宫垣的位置会迁移变动。以大运顺行者而言，当行第二个大限 之时，原来父母宫的星变成命宫的星；原来命宫的星变成兄弟宫的星；原来兄弟宫的星变成 夫妻宫的星……，我们没有理由说，原来父母宫的性质，会变成命宫的性质；原来命宫的性 质，会变成兄弟宫的性质；原来兄弟宫的性质，会变成夫妻宫的性质……。但目前推断紫微 斗数的人，却常常逐个大限、逐个流年，去看大限流年十二宫的星曜以定吉凶，显然便是只 知道「三方四正」的推断法，却不知道这种观察法，有固定地移宫换位的缺点，因此使成为 机械式的推断。 「中州派」的秘传，是先观察星盘十二宫以认识各宫的本质。然後於推 断时，将已变动的宫垣星曜性质，视为对某种本质的反应。 举例来说：命宫紫微独坐在 午，壬年生人，擎羊在子垣（即迁移宫），与贪狼同宫，形成「泛水桃花」的性质当然影向 到紫微坐命宫的本质。所以当顺行至末宫作大限命宫之时，借对宫「天同巨门」安星，宫干 为丁，巨门化忌，流羊同度，对带桃花性质的紫微而言，便容易引起感情上的困扰，同时容 易滋生是非。这即是大限星曜对命宫星曜本质的反应 假如同样是紫傲在午宫坐命，丙年 生人，擎羊与紫微同度，又无「百官朝供」，此乃孤君无道的格局。同样顺行至未宫，借对 宫「天同巨门」安星，天同化禄。若只视末宫为大限命宫，一定喜此天同化禄，再加上宫干 为乙，流禄在卯宫来会因此容易推断为佳运，且可能推断为白手起家的发财美运。然而丈限 命宫同时会上太阴化忌，对「孤君无道」的紫傲而言，化禄会禄的「天同巨门」却会因太阴 化忘而衍化为因财招致不利的性质。具体而言，极可能照因贪小利而错误从事影响自己一生 的事业。 星曜的先后天变化： 第一，群宿众星分布，以紫微为主。由此分布，构成 人命的种种格局。这可以视为先天的构造。 第二，然而先天的星盘却不是一成不变的， 运限的推移，即是人命後天的变化。一个大限一个大限地移动。一年一年地移动，是即为 「扶身助命」的後天变化。 这两点原则，便否定了专依「三方四正」来推断斗数的程 式。看「三方四正」，其实只是入门的基础，若作推断，则必须看星盘的先後天变化。此即 所谓「运用无常」。 例如，先天命宫为巨门在午，行经「武曲七杀」所坐的宫垣，变成 大限的命宫，此即为後天的命宫。若只推断「武杀」的三方四正，实在不能准确，必须有 「巨门行经武杀」的先後天运行概念，然後才能作出准确推断。 因为天相在末为先天命

CHAPTER 2. HISTORY
宫的人，同样行至「武杀」，其反应即有不同，这即属「天相行经武杀」。 说「巨门行 经武杀」、「天相行经武杀」，实在亦只是很粗率的说法，若具体来说，应该是这样：先天 命宫为巨门在午的人，行经後天「武杀」在酉的大限，「武杀」成为後天的命宫。因此，他 是以「巨门在午」的本质，来际会「武杀在酉」的环境。「天相行经武杀」也是如此理解。 ——《节录中州派紫微斗数讲义》 中洲派推断要领（举例） 学习「紫微斗数」 其实只需了解三件事： 1. 安星法； 2. 星系的基本性质； 3. 如何根据星盘来推断运程 本节提前谈到最后一点，目的是提高学者的兴趣。因为有许多人读过一些有关斗数 的书籍之后，面对一个星盘，依然无法推断。现在先介绍这方面知识，学者即使未学习过 「中州派紫微斗数」的星系性质，至少方可依本派的方法，对自己起出来的星盘作一初步的 理解。 面对一个星盘，一般初学者的毛病，是太过看重「命宫」、「迁移宫」、「财帛 宫」、「事业宫」这个「三方四正」的推断。因为现代人一般心理，首先是注重自己的财帛 与事业。 可是，这种推断法却容易陷于支离破碎，使人很难全面理解整个星盘格局的高 低。依照笔者的经验，应该循下述的步骤来观察，才可以对命运有一全盘的理解。 1 先看父母宫，再看田宅宫卯 由父母及田宅这两个宫位，即可以推断其人的出 身，以及受父母荫庇的程度。这样，当观察命宫之时，才可以决定其人适宜行「白手兴家」 的创业运势，还是适宜行「克绍箕裘」的保守运势。 这一点非常之重要，因为假如一个 人的「父母宫」和「田宅宫」都很好，可是星盘中即明显出现一个「白手兴家」的运程时， 就证明其人的家庭极可能出现过一次崩破。反之，如果「父母宫」和「田宅宫」都坏的人， 连续走两三个毫无突破的保守性运程，便很难推断其人有扭转环境的佳遇。 2 「命宫」应与「福德」宫同时观察 一般来说，命宫「三方四正」星曜所显示 的，是比较实质的运里，如物质享受、财富的多寡、事业的顺逆之类。福德宫「三方四正」 所显示的，却是一个人的精神享受与思想活动。 如果两个官位的性质都好，其人自然无 往不利，而且可以肯定，一定有一个良好的家庭;反之，如果命宫很好，可是福德宫却相当 差，那么就需要注意，他的婚姻或者不如意；他可能是靠侥幸致富，所以他的精神享受并不 高尚；又或者其人的境遇虽然相当好，但可能有宿疾徨身。 3 根据以上两项的观察，便可以找出一些别值得注意的宫位。如怀疑其人婚姻不利， 便应检视「夫妻宫」；必疑其人有难以痊愈的慢性病，便应该检视「疾厄宫」;一定必须从星 盘找出一些星系，足以解释「命宫」与「福德宫」互相配合得出来的性质，然后方可以作出 推断。 Zi Yun Sect — 紫云 派 紫云先生先拜何姓老师门下，及后来凭藉著个人的努力，穷三十年的印证和钻研，自成一 派。发表的著作也相当可观。 紫云先生自创三代论、太岁入卦论，太岁宫位等理论。其 中太岁入卦法的星盘互动是未曾在传统的紫微斗数出现过，但在传统飞星派紫微斗数中有流 传。所以紫云派的理论，有一说是他自创的，也有一说是他借别派的秘传加以改良的。无论 如何，其派系的理论棋石都是建立於传统「全书」和「全集」上的 Modern Sect — 现代派 现代派的代表人物是了无居士。了无居士本为紫云门下，但为了坚持自己的理念而自立门 户。一九八五年四月起，伙同许兴智先生、慧耕术士、骆托生、郭先生、蔡钧超、浦江登

之、南鱼和非云居士等人，出版了七本的「现代紫微」，从此「现代派」之名不胫而走。 现代派的了无居士反对「紫平合参」，提倡「子平归子平，斗数归斗数」。反对引入神煞 和关煞等进入斗数，和其师紫云「集各家之大成」的理念很不同。但就因为他这种坚持，引 来很多支持者。跟王亭之一样，了无居士很热衷於评注古籍，认为紫微斗数的精要，尽在前 人的著作当中。 Tian Ji Sect — 天机派 「天机上人」黄春霖创建的天机派的绝学，是为密宗秘传之「斗数喜忌神」和宫气理论。光 是凭名字，可能和流传千年的「密宗占星法」有关连。如果真的如此，天机上人的承传可谓 朔古至今历史悠久。 以传统「三合派」为基础，类似子平八字的五行生克取用神为用的 论法，就是「斗数喜忌神」的精要所在。除了星气、宫位天干、地支的五行外，还考虑到天 干地支合成的纳音五行。这一点，传统三合派的典籍都有记载，但却难以理解。不过「天机 派」可谓为历史缺口作了一个详尽的解释。 Shen Clan Sect — 沈氏 紫微 沈平山先生跟紫云一样，集百家之大成，以一已之力创出其独特的论命手法。 沈平 山先生以飞星、星化、过宫论、变局、三限法等自创的方法论紫微，比较新颖。但观其内 容，所谓飞星法类似王亭之的星系互涉；星化法就是以主星四化得出的变化；而大、中、小 限法是以「中限」把大限细分，以求准确计算吉凶克应的组合和时间。可以说是「三合派」 中非常特别的派系。 Oracle Sect — 占 验派 据闻，占验派的代表人物有两个：一位是号称陈希夷四十一代唯一的掌门人「铁板道 人」陈岳琦；另一位是被称为占验派第五十四代传人的天乙上人。 占验派有传统星情格 局的运用、再融合奇门遁甲、加上飞星派的十二宫飞化，内容非常广范。断流运方面，除了 基本的本命、大限盘和太岁盘外，再加上小限和斗君共有五个盘。 Heaven Penetrating Sect — 透天派 透派斗数，于日本再回流入台湾。透派相传至今，据说已历十三代，当代的掌门人就是 曾留学日本的张耀文先生。 「透派」的正式名称为「明澄派」，除了命身宫的安法与古 本不同，命盘也不安宫干之外，内容则与古籍大同小异。 Assessing the Heaven’s Will Sect — 天 运合参 派 楚皇是「天运派」的创始人。 除了「紫微斗数全书」之外，应是现代融入八字合参 思潮的第一人，以宫气、喜忌神、死劫等论断。 Xin Quan Sect — 新 诠派 慧心斋主 慧心斋主也是其中一个忠於传统的派系之一。跟了无居士和王亭之先生一 样，著作无数，贡献良多。

San He Sect — 三合 派 创始人是恭鉴老人。 其实是风水的一个门派。事实上中州也有玄空三诀，紫微和风水 之间的关系是非常密切的。虽然其理论中引入不少飞星派的飞化，但基本结构仍离不开星情 格局的传统理论。 （上述统称「三合派」本来是指某一类型派系的代名词。但是，恭 鉴老人的「三合派」却是一个特定的紫微斗数学派的名字。可能会引起大家混淆，敬请留 意。）

Si Hua Sect — 四化 派（ 飞 星 派 ）系
This other major branch focuses on the interpretation of the 四化. In the Si Hua(Four Transformations) System, the four transformations Lu, Quan, Ke and Ji are flown from the courts using a pre-defined flight path based on the heavenly stem of the court. Then depending on which courts the enhancers fly into and the stars that are involved, a story is told or an event can be predicted. He Luo Sect — 河洛 派 河洛派是由台湾人曾国雄创立的。 以河洛理数及化忌理论为基础。著重实盘验证。 是比较务实的飞星一派。 Xin Tian Men(Hua Shan Xin Tian Formula) Sect — 钦天 门（华 山钦天 秘仪） 由广东梅县素心老人所创建的，传至近代蔡明宏先生。 门派的秘芨是「华山钦天四 化紫微斗数飞星秘仪」。内容有「飞策」、「飞星」、「飞宫」、「飞运」、「九星布十二 宫七星诀」、「四凤三旗两仪标」、「先天四化飞星棋谱」和「十干步天诀」等等。此派是 非常著重飞星理论的学派，对「飞星紫微斗数」影响深远。代表人物继有方外人先生，法堂 主人和方无忌等。 Xian Zong Sect — 仙宗 派 创建人台湾正玄山人，法号玄真子，苗栗人，声称以「灵修」（神授）习得紫微斗数的 闾山仙宗道长。著有「天地人紫微斗数」十三套。 主张星平合参，纳音五行。闰月的排 法也非常独特。不过，其基本体系却是不折不扣的飞星派，但其支系来历却是无从稽考（因 为是神授的）。

Legend
紫微三合四化(Zi Wei San He Si Hua) (rumour, and it remain unproven) rumour has it that one volume (三合) of Zi Wei Dou Shu book was stolen from the palace. Unknown to the thief there exist another volume on 四化. When the emperor found out, he commissioned his royal astrologer to come out with a fake version and release it to the people. This may be the reason why the popular San He system is based on two ancient books called, The Complete Book of Zi Wei Dou Shu and The Complete Collection of Zi Wei Dou Shu. Comparing the two books which are widely published in the Chinese language, the reader will note large areas of similarities and some significant differences. Maybe one is authetic while the other is abridged! The 四化(Si Hua) System on the other hand remained in the palace until close to the fall of the Qing dynastic when it became available to the public. Are they different? A practitioner can combine some aspect of both Systems for a more comprehensive reading since the basic charts for both systems are the same. The San He system uses more stars and is already capable of allowing a practitioner read a very comprehensive story. The Si Hua system on the other hand can predict past and present events with high accuracy, as well as address directly questions of the subject. Together, the combined use of both systems will be able to reveal a comprehensive picture a person’s destiny and luck cycle; which was perhaps its initial intended use.

Further Reading
紫微 斗 数全集 A 紫微斗数classic written about 200 years ago. There are also quite a number of books written by many authors who have name their book with the same title. For a detail explanation (translation) for this book, it will be a huge project as this book is quite thick. 紫微斗数全书 封神演 义 (translated as The Investiture of the Gods or The Creation of the Gods), also known as Fengshen Bang (Chinese: 封神榜), is one of the major Vernacular Chinese novels written in the Ming Dynasty. The story deals with the decline of the Shang Dynasty and rise of the Zhou Dynasty, intertwining numerous elements of Chinese mythology, including gods and goddesses, Chinese immortals, and spirits. It is, to an extent, representative and descriptive of life in China at the time, where religion played a major role in everyday life. The authorship of Fengshen Yanyi is attributed to Xu Zhonglin (仲琳; 许仲琳) (d. 1566) or Lu Xixing (西星; 陆西星) (d. 1601). Many of the stars take on character roles within the novel, and it helps the student greatly by improving the intuition and feel for the personalities. 王亭之谈斗数

Chinese Mythology To fully comprehend the characteristics of the fourteen major stars in 紫微斗数 it is necessary to have an idea historically, or mythologically which stars are linked to which characters. This chapter provides only a brief introduction for the characters and do not substitute the reading of Feng Shen Yan Yi.
3.1
Overview of Feng Shen Yan Yi
Creation of the Gods, written by Xu Zhonglin (the Yuan dynasty), published in the Ming Dynasty (11368-1644), is the most popular and one of the best, if not also the best-written, Chinese classics of mythical literature. It begins with the grand pilgrimage of King Zhou of the Shang Dynasty (1700 B.C.1100 B.C.), the most notorious tyrant in Chinese legend, to worship the Goddess Nu Wa, the creator of mankind in Chinese mythology, on her birthday. The beauty of the goddess completely bewitched the monarch and sets him on fire with lust. His poem written on the wall to express his deep love for the goddess infuriates her. She decided to punish the king and bring an end to the Shang Dynasty. The novel culminates with the crowning of King Wu of Zhou Dynasty (1066 B.C.256 B.C.) and the canonization of gods by his prime minister Jiang Ziya. However, the Chinese was a nation mostly composed of polytheists, who believed that there were numerous gods in the Three Realms Heaven, World, and Hell-that rules over everything in this world and created various deities to suit their varied desires and needs. Most of the gods anti deities were posthumously canonized historical national heroes and upright officials who were believed to have been heavenly deities sent to this world to deliver mankind from misery. In fact the roots of many of such popular beliefs and legend are found in Creation of the Gods. Therefore, the novel is not simply a piece of literature, but very much an agglomeration of folk beliefs and religion. It is in fact a valuable and indispensable tool in understanding the Chinese folk culture. Based on true historical events in ancient China three thousand years ago but given a major mythical twist, ”Creation of the Gods” (or more accurately ”Canonization of the Gods”) tells the story of the rebellion against, and the fall of, the degenerate and tyrannical last emperor of the Shang Dynasty, the rise of the benevolent first emperor of the Zhou Dynasty, and the subsequent canonization of the fallen warriors of both sides as gods in the Chinese pantheon. 37
38
CHAPTER 3. CHINESE MYTHOLOGY
Creation of the Gods mainly deals with the war between forces loyal to the dying Shang dynasty and those of the rising Zhou dynasty. Warriors with magical powers are aplenty, and Chinese readers should have no problem recognizing their beloved folk heroes and mythical gods, including such colorful characters as the Third Prince Nezha with his three heads and eight arms and his magical weapons (a lance, a ring, a coverlet and a pair of fire wheels) and his brothers Jinzha and Muzha, the warrior god Yang Jian (also called the Little Sage Erlang in ”Journey to the West”) with his all-seeing mystical third eye, 72 magical transformations and his immortal demon-subduing dog, Thunderbolt the thunder god, the four Heavenly Kings (commonly seen as temple guardians in Chinese Buddhist temples) and Li Jing, the pagoda bearing heavenly general. These characters also make cameo appearances in “Journey to the West”.
3.2
Huang Feihu
Huang Feihu (Chinese: 黄飞虎; Pinyin: Huáng Fēihǔ) is a major character featured within the famed ancient Chinese novel Fengshen Yanyi. Huang Feihu is the son of Huang Gun. He is renowned as the top general throughout the whole Shang Dynasty. When Daji had effectively convinced the idiotic King Zhou that it would be best to retrieve the two fleeing princes after slaying an official, Huang Feihu would make his first true appearance. When the princes had both been stolen by the giant Fang Brothers before Huang Feihu’s very own eyes, Huang Feihu was pleased to see that the capital was still possessed of at least a few truly justified individuals. Following this, the king, along with the Chao Twins (Chao Tian and Chao Lei) would decide it best that Huang Feihu himself should pursue the Fang Brothers – who are present with the two princes. Thus, he heads out on his purple mystic bull with the duel Dragon-Phoenix Sword given by the twins. Huang Feihu was appointed as the Great Emperor of Mount Tai (泰山大帝) in the end.
3.3
Bo Yikao
Bo Yi Kao (Chinese: 伯邑考; Pinyin: BóYìKǎo) is a character in the Ming Dynasty Chinese novel Fengshen Yanyi (Investiture of the Gods). In the book, Bo Yi Kao is the eldest son of the Grand Duke of the West, Ji Chang. From the prophecy revealed by the oracle bones, Jiang Ziya predicted that Di Xin’s loyal and benevolent courtier, Bi Gan would die soon, thereby giving a charm to Bi. Before long, Daji, the evil vixen told her husband that she had a heart attack and only a “delicate seven-aperture heart”(Qiqiao Linglong Xin) could relieve her agony. No-one in the palace had that kind of heart —except Bi, who was given a heart by the goddess Nüwa, when he drowned once during his childhood. Bi, loyal as he is, swallowed the charm given by Jiang, grabbed his heart and pulled it out of his body to be given to Di Xin. Bi did not lose his life, nor shed a single drop of blood. Instead, he walked out of the palace and did what Jiang instructed: go straight home immediately without looking back. If he succeeded in doing this, he would recover after one day. Yet upon the last few steps on reaching home, a female huckster yelled from behind Bi, “Hey! Cheap cabbages without stems (xin)!”(i.e., Baoxin Cai, literally a vegetable with a stem covered inside; xin, heart, rhetorically refers to the stem in this case).

Bi, curious and unsuspicious, turned back and asked the huckster, “How can there be cabbages without stems? ”The old lady donned an evil grin and replied, “You’re right, sir. Cabbages cannot live without stems as men cannot live without hearts (xin).”Bi shouted in his loud voice, fell to the ground and died without knowing that the lady hawker was a disguise made by the jade-made Pipa spirit. Thus, Jiang who was able to foretell Bi’s death, could not prevent the tragedy from happening.
3.3.1
Role in plot
When Ji Chang went away to the capital Zhaoge and predicted that he would not come back for seven years, Bo Yi Kao was chosen to be the next head of Mount Singing Phoenix. Once the seven years were up, Bo Yi Kao left for the capital to retrieve his father. Bo Yi Kao left with his three grand treasures as gifts to the king. Dressed in white ceremonial robes as a sign of respect, Bo Yi Kao first met with Prince Bi Gan and was allowed to meet with the king shortly afterwards. On his knees in respect, Bo Yi Kao said: ”My father committed a crime against Your Majesty, and Your Majesty spared his life. We are eternally grateful. I am here to beseech Your Majesty to let him come home, so that our family can be whole again. We will be ever and forever singing your praise.” With these words, Bo Yi Kao gained the favor of King Zhou, and the sexual attraction of Daji. Bo Yi Kao’s lute-playing won the praise of the king but led Daji to wish for Bo Yi Kao to become close to her, to be able to seduce her. Her attentions were firmly rejected by Bo Yi Kao, however, who had quickly realized Daji’s true intention. Due to his action, Daji’s love would turn into hatred. With the chance to perform two final songs with his lute as to save his life from the king’s wrath, Bo Yi Kao play with even greater skill. Stupidly however, Bo Yi Kao threw the lute at Daji in a fit of anger, which caused his death. If Bo Yi Kao would have simply played his lute and not resorted to physical action, he would have most likely have lived. After Bo Yi Kao’s execution his flesh was made into large meat cakes that were sent to Ji Chang, his father, as a test.

Daji
Daji (妲己; Pinyin: Dájǐ) was a favorite concubine of King Zhou, the last king of Shang Dynasty in China. Known for her beauty and cruelty that brought ruin to a dynasty, she is often portrayed as an evil fox spirit in literature, such as the famed Chinese novel Fengshen Yanyi. According to historical record, Daji was the beautiful daughter of a noble family named Su () in the state of Yousu (有). In 1047 BC, Zhou, the king of Shang, conquered the state of Su and took Daji as his trophy. By then, the king was in his sixties and had been in his throne for forty years. He had been known as strong and heroic, an orator and well-versed in music. Under his reign, Shang had become a powerful and prosperous state. He certainly had his Achilles’heel, namely, his infatuated love for women. Ever since Zhou had Daji as his concubine, things began to change for the worse. Zhou liked Daji so much that he tried every means to ingratiate himself with her. Daji liked animals, so he built her a zoological Xanadu with a large collection of rare birds and animals. She liked dancing and singing, so he ordered artists to compose lewd music and choreograph bawdy dances. Forgetting about state affairs all together, King Zhou began to spend all his time with Daji. He would gather three thousand guests at one party to enjoy
40
CHAPTER 3. CHINESE MYTHOLOGY
his “pond of wine”and “forest of meat,”which was cooked meat strips hanging from a wood of trees. King Zhou would allow the guests to play a cat and mouse game in the nude among the trees so that Daji could be amused. When a maid of honor, daughter of Lord Jiu, could not bear the sight of such debauchery and protested, King Zhou had her slain, her father ground up, and his flesh fed to the tyrant’s vassals. Eventually Daji became a brute herself. It was said that her greatest joy was to hear people cry in physical sufferings. Once, as she saw a farmer walking barefoot on the ice, she ordered his feet be cut off so that she could study it and figure out the cause of its resistance to cold temperature. In another occasion, she had a pregnant woman’s belly cut open so that she could satisfy her curiosity of finding out what happened therein. To verify the old saying that “a good man’s heart had seven openings,”she had the heart of Bi Gan, an honest minister, cut out and subjected it to her fertile scrutiny. On top of all those atrocities, Daji was best known for her invention of a device of torture called Paolao (炮烙): a bronze cylinder heated like a furnace with charcoal until the sides were extremely hot. A large bronze cylinder covered with oil was placed on top of a pile of burning charcoal. Prisoners were made to walk on top of the slowly heating cylinder. As the cylinder became hot, the prisoners are forced to shift their feet to avoid the burning. In turn, the oil made it difficult for the prisoners to maintain their stance. If they fell into the charcoal, they would burn to death. The prisoners are thus forced to dance in agony and fear, screaming in prolonged pain, while Zhou and Daji laughed at the tortured dances. Eventually, the prisoners would fall into the charcoal and burn to death Daji would take great delight in the painful cries of the condemned. By the order to execute Daji from Jiang Ziya himself, she was executed by the King Wu of Zhou personally after the fall of the Shang Dynasty. Daji is featured within the famed Chinese novel Investiture of the Gods (or more commonly known as Fengshen Yanyi) as a major character. Daji is the first featured corrupter of the Shang Dynasty in this novel. When Daji had first been featured however, she was simply the average daughter of Su Hu. A major conflict arose because of King Zhou’s lust for the beautiful Daji; Su Hu eventually allowed this desire to be fulfilled. During a strange wind at night however, the original Daji was killed and replaced by an evil nine tailed fox specter known as the Thousand-Year-Old Vixen. Within Investiture of the Gods, there is a specific poem that tells the trickery of Su Hu and the replacement of Daji’s flesh and blood with a vixen that will fool the world to the very end. Thus following Daji’s arrival at Zhaoge - the capital of the Shang Dynasty - Daji would be considered as the greatest concubine under King Zhou and would be the only true attention of the king. Chaos soon spread throughout the Shang Dynasty because of the idiotic ways of the inept king - the favoring of lust and wealth and shunning of the officials. A chapter in the two later on in the novel, a renowned man by the name of Yunzhongzi would be the first man to act against Daji by giving a magical wooden sword to the king that would make Daji sick and ill – and eventually die. Even after many loyal officials pleaded for change - as to avoid the kingdom’s death - Daji would always manage to grab hold of King Zhou’s colossal idiocy and use it as a shield to kill ”the evil”, including Mei Bo. Thus, following Daji’s future in the novel, she would even rise to the rank of queen and continue her mission - the destruction of Shang Dynasty. But eventually defeated and exorcised by Jiang Ziya (Taigong Wang).

King Zhou of Shang
King Di Xin of Shang (Chinese: 帝辛), born Zi Shou (Chinese: 子受) was the last king of the Shang Dynasty. His given name was Zhòu (), and he is therefore also called Zhou Xin (辛; Zhòu Xīn) or King Zhou (王; Zhòu Wáng). He may also be referred to by adding ”Shang” (商Shāng) in front of any of his names.
3.5.1
Early reign
In the Records of the Grand Historian, Sima Qian wrote that Di Xin, in the early part of his reign, had abilities which surpassed the ordinary man, was quick-witted and quick-tempered. In legend, he was intelligent enough to win all of his arguments, and he was strong enough to hunt wild beasts with his bare hands. He was the younger brother of Wei Zi (微子) and Wei Zhong (微仲) (both children of a concubine) and father of Wu Geng (武庚) and Lu Fu (父). His father Di Yi had two brothers, Ji Zi and Bi Gan. Di Xin added to the territory of Shang by battling the tribes surrounding it, including the Dongyi to the east.
3.5.2
Late reign
In his later years, Di Xin was given over to drinking, women and a lack of morals, preferring these to the proper governance of the country, and ignored almost all affairs of state. According to Sima Qian, he even hosted festive orgies and created songs with crude (erotic) lyrics and poor rhythm. In legends, he is depicted as having come under the influence of his wicked wife Daji (妲己), and committing all manner of evil and cruel deeds with her. In fictionalizations, including the novel Fengshen Yanyi, she was said to be possessed by a malevolent fox spirit. One of the most famous forms of entertainment Zhou enjoyed was the ”Alcohol Pool and Meat Forest” (酒池肉林). A large pool, big enough for several canoes, was constructed on the Palace grounds, with inner linings of polished oval shaped stones from the sea shores. This allowed for the entire pool to be filled with alcohol. A small island was constructed in the middle of the pool, where trees were planted, which had branches made of roasted meat skewers hanging over the pool. This allowed Zhou and his friends and concubines to drift on canoes in the pool. When they thirst, they reached down into the pool with their hands and drank the wine. When they hungerred, they reached up with their hands to eat the roasted meat. This was considered one of the most famous examples of decadence and corruption of a ruler in Chinese history. In order to please Daji, he created the ”Cannon Burning Punishment” (炮烙之刑). One large bronze cylinder covered with oil was placed on top of a pile of burning charcoal. Prisoners were made to walk on top of the slowly heating cylinder. As the cylinder became hot, the prisoners are forced to shift their feet to avoid the burning. In turn, the oil made it difficult for the prisoners to maintain their stance. If they fell into the charcoal, they would burn to death. The prisoners are thus forced to dance in agony and fear, screaming in prolonged pain, while Zhou and Daji laughed at the tortured dances. Eventually, the prisoners would fall into the charcoal and burn to death. Zhou and Daji were known to get highly aroused after watching such victims. Victims ranged from civilians and prisoners to high government officials, including Mei Bo. In order to fund Zhou’s heavy expenses each day, extremely heavy taxes were implemented.
42
CHAPTER 3. CHINESE MYTHOLOGY
The civilians suffered greatly, and lost all hope for the Shang Dynasty. Zhou’s brother Wei Zi tried to persuade him to change, but was rebuked. His uncle Bi Gan similarly remonstrated with him, but Di Xin had his heart ripped out so he could see what the heart of a sage looked like. When his other uncle Ji Zi heard this, he went to remonstrate with the kingly nephew and, feigning madness, was imprisoned.
3.5.3
Fall
When Zhou Dynasty’s army, lead by the famous Jiang Ziya, defeated the Shang Dynasty in the Battle of Muye, Di Xin gathered all his treasures around himself in the Palace, and then set fire to his palace and committed suicide. The name ”Zhou” actually appeared after the death of King Zhou, a posthumous name. This name was a representation of his actions of both dishonor and cold-heartedness. King Zhou would go down in history as the worst example of a corrupted king in China.
3.6
Jiang Ziya
Jiang Ziya (Chinese: 姜子牙, Pinyin: Jiāng Zǐyá, Wade-Giles: Chiang Tzu-ya) (dates of birth and death unknown) was a Chinese historical and legendary figure who resided next to the Weishui River about 3,000 years ago. The region was the feudal estate of King Wen of Zhou.
3.6.1
Background
The last rulers of the Shang dynasty (16th - 11th century BC) was a tyrannical and debauched slave owner who spent his days carousing with his favourite concubine Daji and mercilessly executing or punishing upright officials and all others who objected to his ways. Jiang Shang had once served the Shang king and had come to hate him with all his heart. He was an expert in military affairs and hoped that some day someone would call on him to help overthrow the king. He waited and waited till he was 80 years old, continuing placidly with his fishing in a tributary of the Weihe River (near today’s Xi’an) using a barbless hook or even no hook at all, on the theory that the fish would come to him of their own volition when they were ready.
3.6.2
Hire by King Wen of the Zhou
King Wen of the Zhou state, (central Shaanxi), found Jiang Shang fishing. King Wen, following the advice of his father and grandfather before him, was in search of talented people. In fact, he had been told by his grandfather, the Grand Duke of Zhou, that one day a sage would appear to help rule the Zhou state. When King Wen saw Jiang Shang, at first sight he felt that this was an unusual old man, and began to converse with him. He discovered that this white-haired fisherman was actually an astute political thinker and military strategist. This, he felt, must be the man his grandfather was waiting for. He took Jiang Shang in his coach to the court and appointed him prime minister and gave him the title Jiang Taigongwang (Hope of the Duke of Zhou). This was later shortened to Jiang Taigong.

Attack of the Shang
After King Wen died, his son King Wu, who inherited the throne, decided to send troops to overthrow the King of Shang. But Jiang Taigong stopped him, saying: ”While I was fishing at Panxi, I realised one truth- if you want to succeed you need to be patient . We must wait for the appropriate opportunity to eliminate the King of Shang”. Soon it was reported that the people of Shang were so oppressed that no one dared speak. King Wu and Jiang Taigong decided this was the time to attack, for the people had lost faith in the ruler. A bloody battle was fought at Muye (35 kilometres from the Shang capital Yin, now Anyang in Henan province). Jiang Taigong charged at the head of the troops, beat the battle drums and then with 100 of his men drew the Shang troops to the southwest. King Wu’s troops moved quickly and surrounded the capital. The Shang King had sent relatively untrained slaves to fight. This, plus the fact that many surrendered or revolted, enabled Zhou to take the capital. King Zhou set fire to his palace and perished in it, and King Wu and his successors as the Zhou dynasty established rule over all of China. As for Daji, one version has it that she was captured and executed by the order of Jiang Taigong himself, another that she took her own life, another that she was killed by King Zhou. Jiang Taigong was made duke of the State of Qi (today’s Shandong province), which thrived with better communications and exploitation of its fish and salt resources under him. As the most notable Prime Minister employed by King Wen and King Wu, he was declared ”the master of strategy”–resulting in the Zhou government growing far stronger than that of the Shang Dynasty as the years elapsed. Thus making him known well as the most famous Prime Minister of all in China.
3.6.4
Personal views and historical influence
An account of Jiang Taigong’s life written long after his time says he held that a country could become powerful only when the people prospered. If the officials enriched themselves while the people remained poor, the ruler would not last long. The major principle in ruling a country should be to love the people; and to love the people meant to reduce taxes and corvée labour. By following these ideas, King Wen is said to have made the Zhou state proper very rapidly. His treatise on military strategy, Six Secret Strategic Teachings, is considered one of the Seven Military Classics of Ancient China. Jiang Ziya’s seventh generation descendant (his great-grandson’s great-grandson’s son) was Jiang Chi (姜赤). Jiang Chi had a great-grandson named Shi (), who was given a piece of land in Shandong province called ”Lu” (). He took his surname from the land. All Chinese with the last name Lu () can trace their ancestry back to Jiang Ziya. Today, Jiang Ziya is regarded as one of the greatest strategists in both Chinese history and the world, and is honored as the first famous general and progenitor of strategic studies. In the Tang Dynasty he was even accorded his own state temple as the martial patron and thereby attained officially sanctioned status apporaching that of Confucius.
3.6.5
In popular culture
He is a prominent character in the popular Chinese classic novel Creation of the Gods (封神演 ) or called Fengshen Yanyi. In this novel he is known well as Da Ji’s arch-rival, arch-nemesis

CHAPTER 3. CHINESE MYTHOLOGY
and the one who ordered her execution personally. There are two xiehouyu about him: * Grand Duke Jiang fishes - those who are willing jump at the bait (姜太公──者上), which means ”put one’s own head in the noose”[1]. * Grand Duke Jiang investiture the gods - omitting himself (姜太公封神──漏自己), which means ”leave out oneself”. In the scenario ”Chinese Unification” of the Civilization IV: Warlords expansion pack, Jiang Ziya is the leader of the State of Qi. The protagonist of Hoshin Engi, Tai Gong Wang, is based on Jiang Ziya. Jiang Ziya is also Da Ji’s arch-rival (Jiang Ziya never thought of Da Ji as his rival while Da Ji herself always thought that Jiang Ziya was her rival) as Jiang Ziya can easily through Da Ji’s plans. Jiang Ziya is a playable character in Koei’s Warriors Orochi 2. In the game he is alternatively referred to as Taigong Wang. A stark contrast to the historical accounts however, would be that he is portrayed as a handsome young man, who is quite arrogant, although he is still a divinely genius strategist and a good man at heart. He is often referred to by others, namely Fu Xi, Nu Wa and Da Ji as ”boy”. The reason for his radically improvised design may be to emphasize his rivalry with Da Ji, whose character design depicts her as being young and beautiful as well. Their clashes can be inspired loosely on the Fengshen Yanyi.
3.7
Bi Gan
Cai Shen (traditional Chinese: 神; simplified Chinese: 财神; pinyin: Cáishén; Wade-Giles: Tsai2 Shen2) is the Chinese god of prosperity. He can be referred to as Zhao Gongming (Chao Kung-ming) or Bi Gan (Pi-kan).[1] Though Cai Shen started as a Chinese folk hero, later deified and venerated by local followers and admirers, Taoism and Pure Land Buddhism also came to venerate him as a god. Cai Shen’s name is often invoked during the Chinese New Year celebrations.[1] He is often depicted riding a black Tiger and holding a golden rod. He may also be depicted armed with any one of several iron weapons. Several versions of Cai Shen’s political affiliation and subsequent deification are circulated.[1] It is unclear whether he is a genuine historical figure, though the vast majority of stories agree that Cai Shen lived during the early Qin Dynasty. It is believed that Bi Gan had a wife with the surname Chen (陈), or Chan in Cantonese. His son is Quan (泉). After Bi Gan was assassinated, his wife and son escaped into the woods. His death eventually marked the collapse of the Shang Dynasty. Later on, Quan was honoured as the ancestor of all Lin’s by Zhou Wu Wang.
3.8
King Wu of Zhou
King Wu of Zhou (Chinese: 周武王; pinyin: zhōu wwáng) or King Wu of Chou was the first sovereign, or ruler of the Chinese Zhou Dynasty. Various sources quoted that he died at the age of 93, 54 or 43. He was considered a just and able leader. Zhou Gong Dan was one of his brothers. King Wu was the second son of King Wen of Zhou. After ascending to the throne, King Wu tried to accomplish his father’s dying wish: the defeat of the Shang Dynasty. King Wu used many wise government officials–most notably Prime Minister Jiang Ziya, a man evidentially

declared as ”the master of strategy”–resulting in the Zhou government growing far stronger as the years elapsed. In 1048 BC, King Wu called for a meeting of the surrounding dukes at Meng Jin. More than 800 dukes came to the meeting. In 1046 BC, seeing that the Shang government was in a shambles, King Wu launched an attack along with many neighboring dukes. In the Battle of Muye, Shang forces were destroyed, and King Di Xin of Shang set his palace on fire and burned himself to death. Following the victory, King Wu established many smaller feudal states under the rule of his brothers and generals. He died three years later in 1043 BC. He represents the 武曲star.
3.9
King Wen of Zhou
King Wen of Zhou (Chinese: 周文王; pinyin: Zhōu Wén Wáng) named Ji Chang (Chinese: 姬昌; pinyin: JīChāng) (10991050 BC) was the founder of the Zhou Dynasty. He was the son of King Ji of Zhou, the third son of King Tai of Zhou, and the favored grandson of his grandfather. He was the nephew of Wu Taibo and Zhongyong, both rulers of the State of Wu at one time.
This is the representative for 天同 .
3.9.1
Biography
The Zhou state was located in the Wei River valley in present day Shaanxi Province. At one point, King Zhou of Shang, fearing Wen’s growing power, imprisoned him. However, many officials respected Wen for his honourable governing. So they gave King Zhou many gifts, and requested Wen ’s release. These gifts included gold, horses and women. Zhou agreed, and Wen was released. King Wen planned the conquest of the contemporaneous dynasty in power, the Shang Dynasty, but he died before he could accomplish this. His family name was Ji (Chinese: 姬; pinyin: jī). He married TaiSi (Chinese: 太姒; pinyin: Tàisì) and had at least ten sons, two are Zhou Gong Dan and Zhou Gong Wu (Chinese: 周公武; pinyin: Zhōu Gōng Wǔ). His second son became King Wu of Zhou and completed his fathers wishes by defeating the Shang army at their capital. He eventually became the first king of the new Zhou dynasty. King Wen is also known for his contributions to the Yi Jing, a manual of divination. King Wen is attributed with having stacked the eight trigrams in their various permutations, to create the sixty-four hexagrams. He is also said to have written the judgements which are appended to each hexagram (the line statements are attributed to his son, the Duke of Zhou. The most commonly used sequence of the sixty four hexagrams is attributed to King Wen and is usually referred to as the King Wen sequence.

Birth Date
In 紫微斗数, there are basically 3 types of Charts 1. Heaven Chart 天盘Tian P´an - the original chart determined at birth, also called 命 盘M`ıng P´an; used to determine one’s overall fate and luck. 2. Earth Chart 地盘D`ı P´an - also called Decade Chart 大限流盘D`a Xi`an Li´ u P´an; used to determine one’s decade’s luck. 3. Man Chart 人盘R´en P´an - also called Current Year Chart 小限流盘Xiao Xi`an Li´ u P´ an, more commonly called Li´ u Ni´an P´an; used to determined one’s yearly luck. Right now, we’ll proceed to setting up of M`ıng P´an. Step 1 - Get Birth Date First, get hold of your Year, Month, Date, Time and Place of birth. Depending on individual school practises, you may or may not want to perform time correction. The author does not, but if the student wish to, do the following: Convert it to China-Beijing Time Zone. If you are from Singapore, the Time Zone is GMT+7, not GMT+8. The clock was adjusted earlier by 1 hour due to commercial reasons. Then, convert the Birth Date to Lunar Calendar. As for the Time of Birth, please refer to this chart. One thing to note for people born in the Rat Hour or 子子Shi Chen which is 2300 hrs 0100 hrs. If you are born between 0000 hrs to 0100 hrs, your Lunar Date of Birth would be counted as the next day. For example, if your date of birth is 16th day of 5th Lunar Month, and you are born at 0021 hrs, then, the actual date of birth would be counted as 17th day of 5th Lunar Month instead. So please take note. To check if you are born in a year with intercalary months, or 闰月Run Yue... For people born in a intercalary month, there are two different ways of setting up your charts. 1. As long as you are born in a intercalary month, your birth month is taken to be the following month. 2. If you are born after the 15th day in the intercalary month, your birth month is taken to be the following month. But if you are born in the first half of the month, then your birth month would be the previous month.
4.1. BIRTH DATE
53
For example, if you are born on June 18 1974, the second half of the intercalary month, take your birth month to be the 5th month, which is the following month. But if you are born on May 28 1974, the first half of the intercalary month, take your birth month to be the 4th month. The different methods came about due to the different schools of thoughts. Whichever method you choose, be sure to stick it throughout the setting up of your chart. You can set up another chart with the other method if you find your chart grossly inaccurate. The easiest way to get a blank chart would be to fold a piece of paper into half 4 times before opening it up. This way you will have a paper with the necessary squares without needing to draw lines. Once you get the empty chart, write down the Birth Date (especially the now-converted date) in the middle square as you will be needing it throughout the plotting of the chart. Then, fill up the Earthly Branches into the 12 empty squares. Starting from the leftbottom corner, in the Clockwise Direction in the following sequence: The Sequence of the Earthly Branches is as follow:
Once done, you will get a chart that looks like this -
54
CHAPTER 4. SETTING UP THE CHART
4.2
Life/Body Court
Step 2 - Establish Life Palace 命宫 The rule to apply here is ”Months Clockwise, Hours Anti-Clockwise”. That is, starting from the square of Y´ın, which is the 1st Lunar Month, count in the Clockwise direction, the number of the month in which you are born into. Which means, if you are born in the 7th Lunar Month, then count 7 Squares. So Y´ın would be 1st Lunar Month, and the 7th Month would be She¯ n.
4.2. LIFE/BODY COURT
55
Next, taking the last square you stopped at to be the first Shi Chen, which is 子Hour in this example, count in the Anti-Clockwise direction and stop at the Shi Chen at which you were born. The Sequence for Shi Chen is this:
Which means, if you were born at 卯Mao Hour (4th Shi Chen), and count 4 squares Anti-Clockwise from 子Zi, you will now be at the square of S`ı Si.
56
CHAPTER 4. SETTING UP THE CHART
The rule is “Months Clockwise, Hours Clockwise”.
Using the same example, instead of counting Anti-Clockwise for the Hours or Shi Chen, we will now count in the Clockwise direction to establish Body Palace.
4.2. LIFE/BODY COURT
57
So, the Body Palace will be at H` ai - 身宫在亥. Double-check with the following chart to confirm:
58
CHAPTER 4. SETTING UP THE CHART
By the end of Step 3, you will get something like this:
4.3. LISTING THE 12 PALACES

Listing the 12 Palaces
The rule to apply here is “Anti-Clockwise” in the following sequence:

1. Destiny Domain 命宫, 2. Siblings Domain 兄弟宫3. Marriage Domain 夫妻宫, 4. Children Domain 子女宫5. Wealth Domain 财昂宫, 6. Health Domain 疾厄宫7. Travel Domain 迁移宫, 8. Peers Domain 仆役宫9. Career Domain 官禄宫, 10. Properties Domain 田宅宫11. Karma Domain 福德宫, 12. Parents Domain 父母宫 Your chart will look like this:
4.4
Court Stem 干
G¯ong G¯aan Each Palace, besides its own Earthly Branch, has its Heavenly Stem as well. It is called the Palace Stem or 干Go¯ ng Ga¯ n. However, as there are only 10 Heavenly Stems, 2 of the stems will be repeated to fill up all 12 Palaces. The rule here is, the Year of Birth decides which stem goes into which palace. To chart the Palace Stems, memorise the Golden Rule: 安十二天干诀Establish Palace Stem
4.4. COURT STEM 干
61
Another easier way of doing it with the help of the Table is this:
Using the same example, the Year of birth being the Stem of ? Jia (? Yín is Year Branch), and Life Palace is at 巳S`ı, therefore the Stem of Life Palace is 己Jˇi. Thus, we say, Life Palace 命宫is located at 己巳. (This is important when interpreting the chart because interpretions are based on each Palace’s Stem-Branch, or in short, Palace Address ?? ?G¯ong W`ei ?.) Subsequently, fill up the rest of the palaces with the Heavenly Stems (Clockwise direction). Take note when charting the 2 repeated Stems.
62
CHAPTER 4. SETTING UP THE CHART
By now, your chart should resemble this:
4.5. WU XING JU 五行局
63
The Sequence of the Heavenly Stems is as follow:
4.5
Wu Xing Ju 五 行局
Step 5 - Establish Element Phase 五行局The next step is to establish one’s 五行局Wu X´ıng J´ u or 5 Elements Phase. The rule here is, the Life Palace Stem and Branch determines one’s Element. To simplify this step, please refer to the summarised Table. In the example provided, the Life Palace Branch being 巳S`ı, and the Stem of the Year of Birth being 甲Jiˇa , therefore, the owner of this Birth Chart has the Element of Wood ???.
64
CHAPTER 4. SETTING UP THE CHART
To double-check, refer to the 花甲纳音Hu¯a Jia N`a Yi¯ n Table. In this case, the owner of the chart has her Life Palace at 己巳, therefore she is a 大林木(Forest Trees), which is Wood Element 木三局.
4.6. CHART 紫微STAR
65
Now that we’ve completed the framework of the Birth Chart, we will be proceeding to the mapping of the Stars.
4.6
Chart 紫微 Star
紫微Star 紫微星, being the ‘Emperor’Star, is the first star to be charted. The Element Phase or Wu Xing Ju and the date of birth determine which palace 紫微Star is to be established. The Rule can be put into mathematical terms, like this: ( Birth Date + X ) / Element Phase = Y ( 生日+ X ) / 五行局= Y - X and Y must be whole numbers from 1 to 9. - Z is the position of 紫微Star. If X = 0, then Y = Z. If X = Even number, then Y + X = Z. If X = Odd number, then Y X = Z. (However, there are exceptions to this rule.) - Y indicates the number of squares to move in the Clockwise direction. - Even-numbered X also indicates the number of squares to move in the Clockwise direction after moving Y. - Odd-numbered X indicates moving the specific number of squares in the Anti-Clockwise direction after moving Y.

CHAPTER 4. SETTING UP THE CHART Example 1: Birth Date - 12th day Element Phase - Water (2nd) Phase Going by formula: ( 12 + 0 ) / 2 = 6
寅Yin as 1st square, count clockwise and the 6th square (value Y = Z) is 未Wei. So, 紫 微Star is to be established in the palace of 未Wei.
Example 2: Birth Date - 7th day Element Phase - 木三局Wood (3rd) Phase Going by formula: ( 7 + 2 ) / 3 = 3 X = 2 = Even number. So, 3 + 2 = 5 ( Y + X = Z ) ? 寅as 1st square, count clockwise, the 5th square (value Z) is ? 午, 紫微Star is to be established in the palace of ? 午. Or:
4.6. CHART 紫微STAR
67
? 寅as 1st square, counting clockwise, the 3rd square (value Y) is ? 辰. Being an even number, X also moves clockwise by 2 squares and stops at ? 午. Therefore 紫微Star is established at ? 午Palace. Example 3: Birth Date 15th day Element Phase ??? Metal (4th) Phase Going by formula: ( 15 + 1 ) / 4 = 4 X = 1 = Odd number. So, 4 1 = 3 ( Y X = Z ) ? 寅as 1st square, counting clockwise, the 3rd square (value Z) is ? 辰, so 紫微Star is to be established in the palace of ? 辰.
68
CHAPTER 4. SETTING UP THE CHART
? 寅as 1st square, counting clockwise, the 4rd square (value Y) is ? 巳. Being an odd number, X moves Anti-Clockwise 1 square and stops at ? 辰. Therefore 紫微Star is established at ? 辰Palace. However, the formula does not work in ALL cases. There are exceptions. Example 4: Birth Date 13th day Element Phase ??? Fire (6th) Phase Going by formula: ( 13 + 5 ) / 6 = 3 In this case, X (5) ¿ Y(3) Going on to the next step, ( Y X ), we will get a negative number ( 3 5 = -2 ) and the assumption of simply moving 2 squares anti-clockwise (to ? 丑) would be wrong! In this case, to prevent errors, we shall do it manually.
4.6. CHART 紫微STAR
69
? 寅as 1st square, counting clockwise, the 3rd square (value Y) is ? 辰. Being an odd number, X moves Anti-Clockwise 5 squares backwards and stops at ? 亥. So, 紫微Star should be correctly established at ? 亥Palace. But what happen if one’s Birth Date has a value smaller than his Element Phase? For example, one who has a Fire (6th) Element Phase borned on the 4th day, or one who has a Water (2nd) Element Phase borned on the 1st day? The Rule then changes in such situations. To simplify the Rule, For people: 1. Who are of Water (2nd) Phase ??? , - borned on the 1st day, establish 紫微Star in ? 丑Palace. 2. Who are of Wood (3rd) Phase ??? , - borned on the 1st day, establish 紫微Star in ? 辰Palace. - borned on the 2nd day, establish 紫微Star in ? 丑Palace. 3. Who are of Metal (4th) Phase ??? , - borned on the 1st day, establish 紫微Star in ? 亥Palace. - borned on the 2nd day, establish 紫微Star in ? 辰Palace. - borned on the 3rd day, establish 紫微Star in ? 丑Palace. 4. Who are of Earth (5th) Phase ??? , - borned on the 1st day, establish 紫微Star in ? 午Palace. - borned on the 2nd day, establish 紫微Star in ? 亥Palace. - borned on the 3rd day,

CHAPTER 4. SETTING UP THE CHART
establish 紫微Star in ? 辰Palace. - borned on the 4th day, establish 紫微Star in ? 丑Palace. 5. Who are of Fire (6th) Phase ??? , - borned on the 1st day, establish 紫微Star in ? 酉Palace. - borned on the 2nd day, establish 紫微Star in ? 午Palace. - borned on the 3rd day, establish 紫微Star in ? 亥Palace. - borned on the 4th day, establish 紫微Star in ? 辰Palace. - borned on the 5th day, establish 紫微Star in ? 丑Palace.
( 26 + X ) / 3 = Y Y = 9, move 9 squares Clockwise from ? 寅; stops at ? 戌. X = 1, move 1 square Anti-Clockwise from ? 戌; stops at ? 酉. 紫微Star is established at ? 酉Palace. 酉can double-check your calculation here (if you still aren’t too sure).

Chart 紫 微 Series
The next stars to be charted are the Major Stars that are led by 紫微Star, namely, 天机, 太 阳(Sun), 武曲, 天同and 廉贞. Their positions are relative to where 紫微Star is. And the rule is as follow:

Chart 天府Star (Treasury) The palace 天府Star resides in is determined by the position of 紫微Star. The following chart summarises the rule.
4.8. CHART 天府SERIES
73
If 紫微Star is at Yin 寅or Shen 申Palace, 天府Star will reside in the same palace as 紫 微Star. If 紫微Star is at Mao 卯palace, 天府Star will be at Chou 丑. Likewise, if 紫微Star is at Chou 丑, 天府star will be at Mao 卯. If 紫微Star is at Si 巳or Hai 亥Palace, 天府Star will be at Hai 亥and Si 巳respectively. 酉can double-check the position of 天府Star here. By the end of Step 8, you would have successfully charted 7 Major Stars.

CHAPTER 4. SETTING UP THE CHART
(a) 文昌?? and 文曲?? (b) 火星?? and 铃星?? (c) 地劫?? and 地空?? (d) Tai Fu ?? and Feng Gao ?? (a) Wen Chang 文昌and Wen Qu 文曲
For this Step, you will need your Birth Hour. Example:
Birth Hour being 卯? is the 4th Shi辰??. (子?(1), 丑?(2), 寅?(3), 卯?(4).....) 文昌?? starts from 戌? Palace as its 1st square. Count Anti-Clockwise to the 4th square. Position 文昌?? in 未? Palace. 文曲?? starts from 辰? Palace as its 1st square. Count Clockwise to the 4th square. Position 文曲?? in 未? Palace. (b) Huo Xing 火星and Ling Xing 铃星
4.9. CHART STARS BY HOUR
For this Step, you will need your Birth Year and Birth Hour. For people born in the Year of 寅?, 午? or 戌? - 火星?? starts from 丑? starts from 卯? Palace. For people born in the Year of 申?, 子? or 辰? - 火星?? starts from 寅? starts from 戌? Palace. For people born in the Year of 亥?, 卯? or 未? - 火星?? starts from 酉? starts from 戌? Palace. For people born in the Year of 巳?, 酉? or 丑? - 火星?? starts from 卯? starts from 戌? Palace. Both stars will be moved in the Clockwise direction. Example:
77
Palace, 铃星?? Palace, 铃星?? Palace, 铃星?? Palace, 铃星??
78
CHAPTER 4. SETTING UP THE CHART
Birth Year is 寅. Thus, 火星starts from 丑Palace. Birth Hour being 卯(4), move 火 星Clockwise to the 4th square and position it at 辰Palace. Birth Year is 寅. Thus, 铃星starts from 卯? Palace. Birth Hour being 卯(4), move 铃 星Clockwise to the 4th square and position it at 午Palace. (c) 地劫and 地空
Example:
Both 地空and 地劫start from 亥Palace. Move 地劫Clockwise. Establish at 寅Palace.
4.9. CHART STARS BY HOUR Move 地空Anti-Clockwise. Establish at 申Palace. (d) Tai Fu and Feng Gao

Ba Zuo 八座starts from where You Bi is - 辰Palace as its 1st square. Move Anti-Clockwise to the 26th square. Position Ba Zuo 八座in 卯Palace. (b) En Guang 恩光and Tian Gui 天
Example:
88
CHAPTER 4. SETTING UP THE CHART
Both En Guang ?? and Tian Gui ?? are established one square BEFORE the 26th square. Thus, 26 - 1 = 25. Instead of counting to the 26th square, the stars will be established on the 25th. En Guang ?? starts from where 文昌?? is - 未? Palace as its 1st square. Move Clockwise to the 25th square. Position En Guang ?? in 未? Palace. Tian Gui ?? starts from where 文曲?? is - 未? Palace as its 1st square. Move Clockwise to the 25th square. Position Tian Gui ?? in 未? Palace.

Chart Stars by Year Stem
Step 13 - Chart Stars based on Birth Year (Stem) The stars to be charted next are: (a) Lu Cun 禄存Qing Yang 擎羊and Tuo Luo 陀罗(b) 天魁天魁and 天钺天钺(c) 四化四 化(d) Tian Guan 天官and 天府 For this step, you will need your Birth Year Stem. (a) 禄存??? 擎羊?? and 陀罗??
Example:
4.12. CHART STARS BY YEAR STEM
89
Pretty straighforward, Birth Year Stem being Jia 甲, thus Lu Cun 禄存is established at 寅.
Next, establish 擎羊one square before 禄存, in this case, the square before Yin 寅at Mao 卯.
Then, establish Tuo Luo 陀罗one square after Lu Cun 禄存, in this case, the square after Yin 寅at Chou 丑.

(c) 命四化
4.12. CHART STARS BY YEAR STEM
93
The four Transformation Stars, or 四化Stars are namely - 化禄, 化权, 化科and 化忌. There is a fixed set of 四化for each of the 12 years (from Jia ? Year to Gui ? Year). However, there are slight variations among the various schools. Depending on what your Birth Year Stem is, the 四化are ’attached’ to 4 various Stars to ’transform’ their attributes. On a Natal Birth Chart, or Ming Pan 命盘, this set of 四化is called Ming 四化命四化. A second set of 四化is determined on a Decade Chart 大限流盘. This set is called Decade 四 化or Xian 四化限四化. A third set of 四化is further determined for a Current Year Chart 小 限流盘. This set is called Current Year 四化or Liu Nian 四化流年四化 Example:

CHAPTER 4. SETTING UP THE CHART
Tian Cai 天才starts from Destiny Domain 命宫and moves Clockwise. Count till the Birth Year Branch (Yin 寅) and establish at Wei 未. Tian Shou 天寿starts from Body Palace 身宫and moves Clockwise as well. Count till the Birth Year Branch and establish at 丑丑.
4.14
Bo Shi
This and the next step involve the plotting of 2 sets of stars - Bo Shi Shi Er Shen 博士十二 神and Chang Sheng Shi Er Shen 长生十二神. Each set consists of 12 different stars, arranged in a fixed sequence and each star to be allotted to one of the 12 Palaces. The first set is named Bo Shi Shi Er Shen 博士十二神because the first star in the set is Bo Shi 博士. Alternatively Bo Shi Shi Er Shen is also called Shi Er Gong Tai Sui Shen Sha 十二宫太岁神煞. The Stars are as follow: 1. Bo Shi 博士(Cleverness) 2. Li Shi 力士(Power Monger) 3. Qing Long 青龙(Green Dragon) 4. Xiao Hao 小耗(Waste) 5. Jiang Jun 将军(Pompousness) 6. Zou Shu 奏 书(Scholarly) 7. Fei Lian 飞廉(Slander) 8. Xi Shen 喜神(Jubilation) 9. Bing Fu 病
4.14. BO SHI
107
符(Sickness) 10. Da Hao 大耗(Exhaust) 11. Fu Bing 伏兵(Deception) 12. Guan Fu 官 府(Litigation)
First of all, determine whether one is 寅Male/Female or Yang Male/Female. The Birth Year Stem determines whether one is 寅? or Yang ?. If one was born in the Year of Jia ?, and Jia being Yang, he/she is a Yang ? Male/Female. Or, if one was born in the Year of Gui ?, and Gui being 寅, he/she is a 寅? Male/Female. The first star in the set, Bo Shi ??, will be established in the palace in which 禄存?? resides in. If one is either Yang Female or 寅Male, the other 11 stars in the set will be arranged in each of the other 11 palaces in an Anti-Clockwise direction. If one is either 寅Female or Yang Male, the other 11 stars will be arranged in each of the other 11 palaces in a Clockwise direction.
108
CHAPTER 4. SETTING UP THE CHART
The subject was born in the Year of Jia, thus she is a Yang Female ??. As 禄存?? resides in Children Palace, Bo Shi ?? is established in Children Palace. The subject is Yang Female (Anti-Clockwise direction). Thus, Li Shi ?? is established in 财昂宫Palace. Followed by the next star Qing Long ?? in 疾厄宫Palace, and so on, till the last star, Guan Fu ?? in Marriage Palace.
4.15
Chang Sheng
The second set is named Chang Sheng Shi Er Shen 长生十二神because the first star in the set is Chang Sheng 长生. The Stars are as follow: Chang Sheng 长生(Beginning) Mu Yu 沐浴(Accumulating) Guan Dai 冠带(Maturity) Lin Guan 临官(Appointment) Di Wang 帝旺(Pinnacle) Shuai 衰(Fading) Bing 病(Ailing) Si 死(Deteriorating) Mu 墓(Dormancy) Jue 绝(Termination) Tai 胎(Conception) Yang 养(Development)
4.15. CHANG SHENG
109
First of all, determine the subject’s Element Phase (五行局).
This is pretty straightforward. If one is of Water Element 水二局, establish Chang Sheng 长生in Shen 申Palace. Thereafter, depending on 寅/Male/Female, the other 11 Stars will be plotted sequentially into each of the other 11 Palaces, as per the first set of stars.
110
CHAPTER 4. SETTING UP THE CHART
The subject is of Wood Element, thus Chang Sheng 长生is established at 亥亥Palace. The subject is Yang Female (Anti-Clockwise direction). Thus, Mu Yu 沐浴is established at Xu 戌or 仆役宫Peers Domain. Followed by the next star Guan Dai 冠带at You 酉or 官禄宫Career Domain, and so on, till the last star, Yang 养at Zi 子or 疾厄宫Health Domain.
4.16
Chart Jie Kong
4.16. CHART JIE KONG
Pretty straightforward here, thus no need for ’working’. Birth Year Stem being Jia ?, Jie Kong ?? is established at 申? Palace.

4.17
CHAPTER 4. SETTING UP THE CHART
Chart Xun Kong
”???????” would mean: if one is born in the Year of Jia 子??, Xun Kong ?? will be charted in the 戌? Palace. Why 戌? Palace and not 亥? Palace? This is because, the stems and branches are paired either Yang-Yang or 寅-寅(60-year Cycle). And since Jia 子is Yang-Yang, Xun Kong will be established in a Yang-branch Palace, which in this case, is 戌Palace. In the following year,Yi Chou 乙丑, which is a 寅-寅, Xun Kong will be established in 亥? Palace. Followed by Year of Bing 寅?? (Yang) of which Xun Kong is established in 戌? Palace again.
4.18. CHART SHANG SHI
Birth Year being 甲寅, Xun Kong would be at 子or 丑Palace. Jia 寅being Yang, Xun Kong is established at 子Palace (Yang). If you are still unsure, you may check the table here.

CHAPTER 4. SETTING UP THE CHART
Both Ti¯an Sh¯ang 天伤and Ti¯an Shˇı 天使are to be established in the 6th palace before/after Life Palace 命宫. So to simplify it, Tian Shang will always be in 仆役宫Peers Domain and Tian Shi in 疾厄宫Health Domain.

Chapter 5
The Twelve Domains
Commentary — These are the twelve domains of life that 紫微斗数interprets. The word DOMAIN was chosen in place of PALACE or COURT because unlike face reading and Fengshui, the Chinese word gong here does not refer to a location or position. However, those three terms are to be taken as interchangeable within the rest of the text. The 命宫may be placed in any of the twelve frames, but the sequence of the twelve does not change. 紫微斗 数is about reading the meaning of the stars when they are placed in the twelve domains. In a nutshell, 紫微斗数is only about two elements - the stars and the twelve aspects of life. Mastering these two items, you master 紫微斗数. In Chinese, the word gong ? means both the twelve aspects of life, and the twelve positions in a chart. For the different aspects of life, the term DOMAIN is suitably used, and for the twelve positions in a chart represented by the twelve Earthly Branches, the term HOUSE will be used; though the Branches will be mentioned directly instead. It makes the descriptions more specific. In a chart, the twelve domains go in a given sequence in anticlockwise manner. What we 117
118
CHAPTER 5. THE TWELVE DOMAINS
need to establish is the position of the 命宫 from birth month and birth time, and it can fall into any of the twelve houses in a chart. The rest of the domains naturally fall into place, after the 命宫— Destiny Domain is placed. The sequence goes: 1 命宫, 2 兄弟宫, 3 夫妻宫, 4 子女宫, 5 财昂宫, 6 疾厄宫, 7 迁移宫, 8 仆役宫, 9 官禄宫, 10 田宅宫, 11 福德宫, and 12 父母宫. There is logic in the sequence. We grow up among siblings, fall in love, and have children. Then after the main concerns are wealth and health, and then, how far we can go in travel. When we are away from home, we rely on peers. We are what we do (career/business), and it determines how wealthy we are to acquire land and estates. 父母宫Domain ends the sequence, but it does not come last. Look at it from the other direction (clockwise) from 命宫, we have 父母宫, and it flanks the 命宫 together with the siblings. That makes a family. In turn, the Parents Domain is being flanked by Self Domain and the 福德宫— Thinking Domain. Both our behaviour and thoughts are influenced by our parents. Personality decides much in life. It is because of certain special quality that a successful person can scale great heights in life. It is also the lack of certain other quality that halts him from going higher. Whether one handles the challenges in life well also depends on one’s personality.
5.1 5.1.1
The Destiny Domain 命宫 and Body Domain 身宫 Destiny Domain 命 宫
This domain manifests the subject’s character, appearance and the general conditions and environment of a person’s job. This is the most important palace. This palace represents the personality or character of a person. It tells the person’s destiny. This court is about the subject. It is the overal description of the subject’s being, aura, personality, way of thinking, principles, and philosophy. 紫微Numerology can describe this to a high level of detail just within the Destiny Court. The 命宫represents the person’s Destiny. It has to do with Şpre-heavenŤ, layout and blueprint of the subject’s destiny. Four Corners The Four Horses/Corners (申, 巳, 寅, 亥) are the branches in the corner palaces of a 紫 微chart. They are often called the Four Horses because these Four Corners have to do with movement. People with their 命宫in a Horses/Corner palace are always on the move and have trouble sitting still. They may also invite problems unnecessarily. Four Directions The Four Directions (子, 卯, 午, 酉) are the branches in the palaces associated with the four cardinal directions - North, East, South, and West respectively. These branches are sometimes called the Four Failures because of people with their 命宫here love parties, social life, romance, drinking, gambling, and overspending. The Chinese term for this is Şpeach blossomsŤ. 桃花are among the first flowers to bloom in China, usually around the end of December until the spring rains destroy them in February. They are lovely, bright and lively,

but do not last long. People with a lot of peach blossoms were not considered to have much hope of living productively and responsibly, but in modern times these people can do quite well in the arts and entertainments fields, where this kind of charisma can help them succeed. Four Earths The Four Earths (辰, 丑, 戌, 未) are the branches associated with the Earth element. They are sometimes called the Four Graves. Earth is heavy and not easily moved or changed, thus those with their Ming in one of the Four Earths find it difficult to change and move as well. They must work very hard to achieve and will do better if they move far from their birthplace as early as is possible. Those with their Ming in 辰(ŞHeaven NetŤ) or 戌(ŞEarth NetŤ) get ŞstuckŤ even more easily and need to break through their nets in order to succeed. The Branch of the Palace in which the 命宫falls determines certain characteristics of a person’s life. Look in each palace at the lower right-hand side, bottom word. • 子(Rat) – Optimistic and happy about life. Poised and elegant, smart and practical. – Forgives and forgets easily. – Loves to make new friends, is easily seduced. – Devoted to and affectionate with friends, though doesnŠt always keep promises. – Patient with spouse. – Is even-handed and treats everyone equally regardless of socio-economic class. – Loves to be considered distinctive, has uncommon judgment.

Often treats others in an arrogant manner or shows off. – Better to leave birthplace early and develop self elsewhere. • 寅(Tiger) – Has a good heart and always willing to share. – Enjoys a wide circle of friends. Popular and admired. – Active, clever, always on the move. Able to endure suffering and hard work. Tough, resolute, prefers the fast way, doesnŠt like the word ŞnoŤ. – Can become wealthy more easily than others – Can unnecessarily invite problems. • 卯(Rabbit)

5.1.2
Body Domain 身 宫
The 身宫is about Şpost-heavenŤ predisposition and represents where the subject is headed for in life. 命宫tends to represent oneŠs early life, while 身宫represents later life. It also represents a domain of main influence in the subject’s life. From here we can assess the person’s physical body and performance when outside. When the structure is good, the person has good body and spirit. When the Body Domain is in the Spouse Domain, the person is sensitive to relationships. In the Wealth Domain, the person is concerned about money. In the Travel Domain, the person is busy and enjoys travelling about. In the Career Domain, the person is interested in reputation as well as career advancement opportunities. In the Karma domain, the person enjoys relaxing and enjoying life, spending money on himself, contented and happy.

CHAPTER 5. THE TWELVE DOMAINS
5.2. THE SIBLINGS DOMAIN 兄弟宫
123
Commentary — Beyond the twelve domains, there is a 身宫- A supplementary domain, or the domain of main influence, but it is only found in only one of the six domains(note, not all twelve) shown in the first slide.
5.2
The Siblings Domain 兄弟 宫
This domain manifests the relationship between siblings, the closest of friends as well as business partners. We can also analyse the mother’s character. Analysing with the 4 flying stars, we can also deduce the mother’s appearance as well as personality. This represents the relationship between brothers and sisters. It also tells the characters of brothers/sisters. This court describes your relationship to your siblings and close friends and relatives. Are they instrumental to your well-being? Do you have many helpful, supportive, or wealthier friends? Or do you live your life living on your own devices, and having to help others instead?
5.3
The Spouse Domain 夫 妻宫
This describes the person(s) whom you have a serious relationship with. They may not include casual love interests. Are you likely to be in a solid loving relationship, or are your marriages most likely to all turn sour in the end, because of personality clashes, or extramarital relationships? This represents the character of the spouse and relationship with spouse. This palace can also predict whether marriage will end in divorce; whether there will be affairs. House of spouse represents one’s life partner and a 紫微斗数chart does give you the answer of the partnerŠs character, appearance and most of all whether she is supportive or not. It is also possible to see if the relationship will affect oneŠs quality of life. Generally, it is not
124
CHAPTER 5. THE TWELVE DOMAINS
ideal for the House of spouse to be located at the four corners of a 紫微斗数chart (寅, 巳, 申, 亥) as it represents a relationship that is more prone to external influences and uncertainties.
5.4
The Children Domain 子女 宫
This domain also govern anything that is produced by the subject. In particular it is useful for analysing the condition of a joint-partnership business. This represents whether a person will have children or not; whether the children are good or not; whether the children will be rich or not. This also represents the relationship a person will have with his/her children. This also represents nieces and nephews. Children represent, not only your children, but also people who depend on you. It can also be interpreted as employees, or students (if you teach) and/or followers (if you are a preacher). Are they plentiful, are they faithful? How will they do?
5.5
The Health Domain 疾厄 宫
This represents your health condition such as the kinds of diseases you’ll likely to encounter. The overall health of this court describes the overall physical conditiion of your body. If it is weak. It is an indication that one has to work harder to maintain good health. It indicates the chances of getting mishaps as well.
5.6
The Wealth Domain 财昂 宫
This represents your financial income whether a person will have steady income, or encounter losses. This also tells whether income is from hard work or not. Wealth. This is probably the most interesting court to many. It can be the most difficult one to work on, because other courts also affect your wealth. E.g your marriage, children, career...etc can all affect your wealth in one way or another. This court should be able to tell you HOW you are most likely to gain financial wealth. It can also indicate what not to do, especially if an individual has speculative tendencies. The Karma Domain represents the source of the wealth. If the condition of the Karma condition is good, then money making will be easy. But if the Wealth domain is in bad shape, it is difficult to keep the money. Conversely, if the Karma domain is bad, and Wealth domain condition is good, money making will take a lot of effort.
5.7
The Travel Domain 迁移 宫
This domain documents the conditions of the external environment when we travel. It would be best to have Benefactors in this domain, so that the subject can receive assistance when we are outdoors. It is also necessary to access 仆役宫. If that domain is not good, the peers the subject encounter are not going to be helpful. This represents whether you will need to relocate to achieve success. It can also predict a traffic accident. This court affects the self court greatly because it is it’s opposite neighbour in the 紫 微chart. It describes your reputation. It describes how people perceive you to be; opinion of
5.8. THE PEERS DOMAIN 仆役宫
125
your external self. How you are considered by others. It also describes your travel, migrations. It can also indicate imminent accidents.
5.8
The Peers Domain 仆 役宫
Documents disasters in human relationships, effectiveness of subordinates. This represents the kind of peers, colleagues a person will have whether they will be helpful or not. It also represents the relationship you have with your friends. This court is related to the Siblings domain. Peers are your acquaintances, subordinates at the offices, people you meet at clubs, etc. Ask the same kind of questions as in the brothers court. The original meaning of Peers Domain in Chinese is outdated. 仆役宫means slave and servant domain. Therefore, the old name is now without real significance. There is nothing equivalent in modern Chinese to replace the old Chinese term either. Generally, the domain describes the luck with people of the same generation/rank and the lower ranks, which include friends, subordinates and servants altogether.
5.9
The Career Domain 官 禄宫
Social status, suitable job. For students, this domain documents academic ability. This represents the type of career that is most suitable for a person. It also determines the amount of success you can expect from your chosen career. Is your job your career? This court describes the state of your career. Are you good at what you do. Are you successful at work? Why? Are you doing a job that suits your talent?
5.10
The Property Domain 田 宅 宫
Documents the family conditions when the subject is young whether family is peaceful, quarrelsome, well-to-do etc. This domain also represents the store of wealth. This represents the property, inheritance, investments a person will own. This describes you physical living environment to a certain extent. It also describes your businesses, anything that you possess that is significant in value. It generally points to relatively illiquid assets and possessions.
5.11
The Karma Domain 福 德宫
People with 天同and 天梁here are a little more lazy and less motivated. This represents the moral, spiritual, emotional aspects of a person. This tells us whether a person will live peacefully or not. Governs the length of life. It represents how much credits we have carried over from the previous life and weighs upon us in terms of this life’s happiness and thinking. This court is about your karma. Your aura. What really makes you feel happy. What are the principles you hold. How’s your mental state of mind? It represents thinking and general well-being of the subject as well. In 紫微斗数, the 命宫 depicts the traits in a personality that are apparent or easily known when a person is interacted. Thinking Domain shows those traits that are hidden from the eyes. For instance, a person may appear to be generous (Self
126
CHAPTER 5. THE TWELVE DOMAINS
Domain) but in essence stingy (Thinking Domain). A more critical application will be for checking one’s integrity. Looking at only Self Domain and not Thinking Domain does not give a complete personality profile - such is the importance of the Thinking Domain. Thinking Domain is the most misunderstood. The Chinese term 福德宫means the domain of virtue and blessing. You would know that it is a transliteration when you see such a description in English. The domain describes mental activities, thoughts, and those parts of a personality that may not be manifested in apparent behaviours. It is only appropriate that it is called the Thinking Domain in English. It does mean that in order to study a personality completely, we have to look at both Self and Thinking Domains. Happiness, thinking.
5.12
The Parents Domain 父 母宫
This represents our parents and our family backgrounds. Later in life it describes your superiors, clients, customers and your relationship with them. This court describes your parents when you are young, and later on it describes your superiors, e.g. bosses, customers etc.

Domain Interactions This chapter provides the introductory materials for interpreting the combined influence of stars in 三方四正.
6.1
Court Relationships
Although the 12 domains in 紫微斗数are clearly defined, and they do specify clearly the different aspects of our life for specific interpretations, we are to break the boundaries of the 12 domains for observations if we are to bring our analysis skill to a higher level for complete results. Hence, first of all, there is the technique of reading the entire matrix (三方四正) of a certain domain to assess its indications comprehensively. Though it may not always be accurate to give a weight to the four domains concerned, let us use these figures to illustrate the point. Observing Sanfang Sizheng is a basic technique in ZWDS. Sanfang means the three directions, and Sizheng (the four positions that bring) the complete set up. I call Sanfang the Triangle, and Sanfang Sizheng together as the Matrix. These are generic terms, therefore for every domain, or every house, that we are looking at, it has its own Sanfang Sizheng, the Matrix. It necessitates that the complete assessment of a domain has to be done by looking at all four domains. Sanfang includes the domain in reference, and the two domains in fifth positions when going both clockwise and anticlockwise manner. The Self Domain Triangle thus, includes Self, Wealth and Career Domains. Sizheng includes the Triangle and the domain opposite of the reference domain. Hence, the Self Domain Matrix includes the abovementioned three, and the Travel Domain. Take a closer look at the Matrix for every domain and you can see how the different aspects of our life defined in ZWDS influence each other. The main Matrix in a chart is naturally the Self Domain Matrix, and it determines the main trends in our life - or you may term it as how lucky are we in life. Even as far as a thousand years ago when ZWDS was first created, the rule of observing the Matrix has already reflected how one is being gauged in life and in a society. Look at the main Matrix, what we are in a society is determined by our personality (Self Domain), what kind of job we have (Career Domain), how much money we have (Wealth Domain), and how well we can do away from home (Travel Domain). The domain in question takes about a 50% to 60% share in interpreting its meaning, depending on how many stars, and what they are in it. Then the opposite domain plays about 25% weight, and the two apexes in the wings (of Sanfang - the 129
130
CHAPTER 6. DOMAIN INTERACTIONS
Sanhe triangle) take about 12.5% each. Ultimately, however, we should realise that the interpretation of the 12 domains in 紫微 斗数is like reading a life, which means that every aspects of our life is in fact interconnected, though some aspects are more important than others. In 紫微斗数, we do emphasise the importance of the main matrix of 命宫, 迁移宫, 财昂 宫and 官禄宫. But who is to say that 疾厄宫is less important, or for that matter, 夫妻宫or 田宅宫? Therefore, after getting well versed with the definition of the 12 domains, and the technique of observing 三方四正, we have to keep in mind that every domain may affect the overall outcome of an interpretation. For instance, with the right (or wrong?) conditions, a bad Peers Domain may affect the outcome of an expected achievement interpreted from a good 官禄宫matrix. Conversely, a good 子女宫may rescue a lacklustre 官禄宫matrix if one is in a business that serves children. Therefore, it is an art to take the full view of the chart to have a comprehensive analysis for the purpose of maximising the information available. The stars within the courts affect the properties of the life aspects. And the stars in related courts can also affect the life aspects in lesser ways. Stars in courts that are located in trinity to each other, affect each other. Stars in opposite courts also affect each other. Hence one can conclude that some aspects of your life are related. E.g. Self is related to your 官禄宫and 财昂宫(trinity courts), and related to your 迁移 宫(opposite court). Which is logical, because these are the courts directly influenced by you.
Commentary — This shows the key interpretation technique of 紫微斗数. One will never understand the true power of 紫微斗数 if one does not get familiarised with their applications.
6.1. COURT RELATIONSHIPS
131
Commentary — First, the Mirroring Technique from Zhong Zhou Sect. It is used when a domain is found to be void of the 14 Major Stars (from the Emperor 紫微 to the Forward General Pojun). Regardless of how many other stars are present in a domain, when a domain is void of any of the 14 Major Stars, we have to use the stars present in the opposite domain. All the stars in the two groups of 73 stars (32 plus 41, in yellow fonts in the slide) found in the opposite domain must be mirrored into the domain to be interpreted. Merely mirroring the first 14 Major Stars, as it is widely taught, is wrong.
132
CHAPTER 6. DOMAIN INTERACTIONS
Commentary — The next three slides illustrate the Mirroring Technique. The Siblings Domain — 兄弟宫in the chart is void of Major Stars. The pair of Trouble Stars - Turmoil Star 火星and Turbulence Star 铃星, are found to be placed in the 子女宫and 仆役宫respectively. They are not the 14 Major Stars, but part of the 32 Main Stars. They are the Adverse Stars that are the most menacing to human relationships.
Commentary — In this chart, on the surface, three human relationship domains are negatively affected (in red) but not all five domains, if we do not mirror Turbulence Star Lingxing into the Siblings Domain — 兄弟宫which is void of the Major Stars. It therefore means that the 兄弟宫and 夫妻宫are not affect by the pair of Trouble Stars. This is the wrong interpretation result.
6.1. COURT RELATIONSHIPS
133
Commentary — When we mirror Turbulence Star into the Siblings Domain — 兄弟宫according to the correct application of the Mirroring Technique, we will have the correct interpretation result that all human relationship domains in this chart are ruined by the stars. The two that suffer the most impacts are the 父母宫 and 夫妻宫, the latter because of the flanking effect.
Commentary — Next, look out for the locations of stars that come in pairs. When a pair of stars are found in the Matrix, they give synergy. In this illustration, the Left Deputy 左
134
CHAPTER 6. DOMAIN INTERACTIONS
辅and the Right Deputy 右弼each affects the domains where they are placed, but the domain represent by the star symbol gets the most benefits.
Commentary — This means that the interpretation of a 紫微斗数chart must not be done on individual domains only. In this illustration, 官禄宫Domain directly shows what industry or what sector is good for the subject, whether it is appropriate for him/her to take up a business or stay employed. However, his/her luck with money (财昂宫) also has a major influence on the job/business he takes on, while his/her personality (命宫) also plays a vital part in his/her rate of success in certain fields of job/business.

Wealth Level Analysis
136
CHAPTER 6. DOMAIN INTERACTIONS
Commentary - To assess how wealthy one can be, we have to also include the interpretation of Estates Domain as it represents wealth beyond liquid cash.
6.4
Empty Domain
When a domain is void of Major Stars, it is considered weakened in the sense that the person has less control of the events relevant to that domain, as compared to another who has stars there. Next, we read all the Main and almost all of the Secondary Stars (refer to my other thread for the grouping) present in the opposite house.
6.5
Earth Branches of the Domains
The earthly animals in the chart have fixed locations while the location of the 12 palaces discussed above depends upon the date of birth of the person. Thus, the Life Palace could be in the Tiger square or Horse square or in any other squares. About EB, It’s how it affect the stars in the palace as every stars has its ying or yang polarity and its interaction with the palace. Also the stars characteristic like Tai-yan which like to be in the Day* palaces Yin, Mao, Chen, etc. Tai-yin in the night palaces, Shen, You, xu, etc.This all would affect stars brightness or dimness, whether it could bring out its potentials or stifen it. About Stems and Branches - The Five Elements of the Branches sometimes do come into play beyond only for Taiyang and Taiyin. For instance, Tanlang the Pleasure Star is about attraction luck, taohua. When it is being placed in Chen/Xu/Chou/Wei - the Four Tombs (Earth), its taohua nature is being reduced because the star is being constrained there. Otherwise, the Stems are used mainly for deciding the position of the flying stars for periodic charts. A palace is affected or is most influenced by the adjacent palaces, the opposite palace and the related harmony palaces. Looking at the chart can say that the Life Palace is influenced by: the adjacent palaces (Parents and Siblings Palaces) the opposite palace (Travel Palace) the related harmony palace (Career and Wealth Palaces) Do you not agree that the life of a person is shaped by the person’s parents and siblings? The way you are brought up by your parents will determine how you become in society. This will lead to the type of career you will pursue and whether the chosen career will lead to generating your income be it stable income or not or whether you need to move away from your birthplace to make a living. When there are no major stars in a palace that’s being analyzed, the major stars in the opposite palace is then examined as if the stars there are actually in the palace being analyzed. This is because the opposite palace is like a mirror image of the palace being analyzed. These two palaces have the strongest influenced on each other. If you are analyzing the Happiness Palace, the palaces that have influenced to it are the Wealth Palace (opposite), the Marriage and Travel palaces(related harmony), the Property and Parents palace (adjacent). People’s luck change as time goes by. Some enjoy several years of good luck. Some suffer bad luck year after year. This is because the palaces rotate around the chart.
6.5. EARTH BRANCHES OF THE DOMAINS
137
Like the four pillars of destiny, a person has 10 year luck chart and annual luck chart. A person’s first 10 year luck chart is the same as the original natal chart. The second 10 year luck chart has the Life Palace either occupying the Parents Palace or Siblings Palace depending upon the polarity of the person (yin male/female or yang male/female). The other palaces move one place following the Life Palace. This rotation in the chart causes our luck to change.

Chapter 7
Chinese Terms Chinese 紫微斗数literature distinguishes several ways for ’stars MEETING each other’ in the chart; this section is aimed at addressing that issue. Usually, when stars are said to meet in the english treatise, they are to be taken to mean stars that are present in the Matrix. Those able to read the chinese text will note what follows. Advanced material distinguishes between the following positional interactions of the stars: 坐守 zu`oshˇou Sitting. It refers to the presence of a Major Star in a domain. 同度 t´ongd` u Placed together. It refers to stars present in the same domain. 同宫 t´ongg¯ong Same house. It also refers to stars present in the same domain. 照 zh`ao Shining (onto). It is the short form, and the combined meaning, of 拱照(gongzhao) and 会照(huizhao). See the next two entries. 拱照 g`ongzh`ao Shining on each other. It refers to stars in opposite houses. 会照 hu`ızh`ao Meeting. It refers stars present in Sanfang, or the Sanhe Triangle. 相夹 or 夹 xi¯angji´a or ji´a Flanking, clipping. It refers to the resulting effect of the stars present in the adjacnet house on either side of any particular house/domain. 见 ji`an Seeing (each other). It refers to stars present in the Matrix, or 四正. 冲 ch¯ong Clashing. It means the interaction of stars in the 三方四正to create or activate an effect. Its meaning is different from that used in Ziping Bazi, because it can mean an auspicious effect in 紫微斗数. See the next two entries. 冲起 ch¯ongqˇı Activating (an effect). It usually means an auspicious effect, but not always so. 冲破 ch¯ongp`o Destroying (an effect). It always means producing an inauspicious effect, and refers to the presence of an Adverse Star or a bad effect star spoiling a good formation. 四煞 s`ı sh`a Four Inauspicious Stars: 擎羊、陀罗、火星、铃星 六煞 l`ıu sh`a Six Inauspicious Stars: 擎羊、陀罗、火星、铃星、地空、地劫 139

The Fourteen Major Stars 雾里看花 越看越花 The 14 Major Stars are the closest to the North celestial pole and were regarded as the most essential stars. These fourteen stars form the North and South Dipper in ancient chinese astronomy. As a group, they are diversified in their traits, each with their distinctive attributes. In order to fully understand and have a feel for these stars in reading, it will be helpful to personify the stars to get an intuition for the stars’ personalities. These 14 Major Stars sets the general scene for interpretation. Each star can be perceived as a major character in a performance, governing different aspects of our lives depending on which domains they influence. The impact is felt across the entire life, with different emphasis and effects in different time frames. Every Major Star has a varied and diversified range of characteristics. They are just like people. We do not find an absolute saint or a total evil that often among us, do we? One observation on how they manifest themselves is how bright they are. Otherwise we must not take a single facet of their qualities as their only characteristics. Therefore, Tanlang the Pleasure Star has as much positive qualities as negative qualities. That being said, traditionally, meaning in classic texts, Jumen the Dimming Star and Pojun the Forward General usually get more negative comments than others. This is because the old Chinese society prefers humility and settledness, which are not exactly the qualities that these two stars excel in. Conversely, Tianfu the Finance Minister traditionally gets the most praises as it represents stability. 紫微(Polaris) — Emperor As the first star and the leader of the pact, Ziwei can be likened to a ruler, the ultimate in power. The Emperor (or King, depending on your culture) is most apt for describing its traits. 天机(σ Sagittarii) — Heavenly Strategy in Chinese The word Tian, meaning Heaven, which is found in many other stars too, is simply a noble way to name something in Chinese. Tianji is a star of many ideas and thoughts, but lacks the stature of a leader, therefore it can be likened to the advisor who serves the Emperor. 太阳— Sun Symbol - humane, idealistic, bright, with many ideas to contribute, extreme, and active. 143
144
CHAPTER 8. THE FOURTEEN MAJOR STARS
Person - for a man-representing his father, himself, his son, his male friend, and superior. for a woman-representing her father, her spouse and her son. It also represents politician, guardian, and principal. Body - eyes, face, blood and intestines. 太阴— Moon Symbol - soft, romantic, clean, and observant. For a male subject -represents his mother, his spouse, his secretary and his daughter. for a woman-represents her mother, herself, and her daughter. It also represents fortuneteller, prostitute, and moonlighter. Body - skin, the womb, and urethra. 天府(27 Ysgr) — Heavenly Treasury in Chinese Symbol - real, self-assertive, splendid, and neat. Person - treasurer, distributor, and planner. Body - stomach. 巨门(Merak) — Great Gate in Chinese Symbol - analytical, creative, researching, self-reliant, talkative, controversial, and suspicious. Person - lecturer, broadcaster, lawyer, geometrician, psychoanalyst, performing artist and thief. Body - mouth and throat. 破军(Alkaid) — Broken Army Symbol - impatient, innovative, risk-taking, forward, and confronting. Person - pioneer, sailor, mountaineer, and front-liner. Body - reproductive organs and excretory organs. 武曲(Mizar) — Defence Minster Symbol - straight, unbiased, strong-willed, systematic, and impassive. Person - martial artist, inspector and banker. Body - nose, respiratory organs, and lungs. A direct translation from Chinese will mean “military music”’. Wuqu is about righteousness, action oriented, and steadfastness. 天同Contentment Tong means agreement, thus it represents peacefulness and harmony. The star is about taking life easy, being passive and non-antagonising, and hence, contentment is acquired easily. It possesses the traits of going for comfort and pleasure in life. 廉贞(Alioth) Symbol - recalcitrant, free thinking, sentimental, seeking self-improvement, and a little psychopathic. Person - justice, soldier, traveller, masseur, risk-taker, and prisoner. Body intestines and pimples. It is very difficult to use one name to personify its diverse qualities. In fact, Lianzhen in Chinese - chastity and honesty hardly give a clue to what it actually means. Perhaps perceiving 廉贞as a consummate politician may be apt, where the outward colourful predisposition belies a potentially wicked inner nature. This star is primarily about emotions, money, and blood, but more about the indulgence in feelings and emotions. Although all of them carry a diverse range of traits, some of them are more complex than others. Lianzhen is basically artistic, passionate, and very emotion-driven, and it can represent luck with reference to wealth, blood or feelings. Moreover, Lianzhen is also very sensitive to other Major Stars and Main Stars (the supporting cast of Auspicious Star, Adverse Stars, and the Enhancers) present, therefore, sometimes, merely looking at Lianzhen alone cannot reveal
145 enough information. Lianzhen is one of the two major stars that experience the greatest shift in gamut when found in a good versus a wanting star field. 贪狼(Dubhe) Symbol - generous, impatient, spontaneous, amorous, selfish, risk-taking, entertaining, and day dreamer. Person - entertainer, teacher, priest, guest relations officer and gambler. Body - genitals. Tanlang carries a very wide range of qualities too. While it may be the most materially/physically indulgent, it has also the quality to be very spiritual. Tanlang is one that has the most natural inclination to metaphysics too. With Lianzhen, it is one of the two major stars that can exhibit bipolar behavior - it can also be selfish and accommodating at the same time. 天相(40 r sgr) — Prime Minister Symbol - faithful, humane, friendly, cultured and with very good sense of aesthetics. Person - premier and high standing official. Body - lower part of body. In terms of personality, can indicate inherent clashes within oneself, confusing between being powerful and powerless at the same time. It is also the Major Star that is the most sensitive to San He flanking effect the aggregate influence by the stars placed in the immediate houses on its left and right. 天梁— Great Sage The Great Sage carries a either a nature of provision or punishment. It can also be known as the Problem Solving Star as it can attract many problems like a magnet. The rich spread of the personalities embodied by Major Stars of 紫微斗数spans a rich gamut, and provides an interesting and sufficiently rich backdrop with which we can paint the destiny of a person. The following sections provide a detailed analysis of each stars’ character, and with forms the foundational analysis for a student to perform 紫微斗数chart analysis.

8.1
CHAPTER 8. THE FOURTEEN MAJOR STARS
紫 微 Zi Wei — Emperor
紫微星代表人物是周文王的长子伯邑考，掌『尊贵』为『帝座』育万物，形貌厚重，腰背肥 满，为人忠厚老实，谦恭耿直，又有自负倾向，耳根软易受影响，善变、多疑、心地狭小， 易感情用事，主权威显贵略带倨傲之气。 The representative of this star is the eldest son of Zhou Wen Wang (周文王), Bo Yi(伯邑). Heavy, strong and full appearance. The subject is honest, modest, polite and frank. Though at the same time the subject is pretentious and easy to be affected by the words from other people. The one is capricious, suspicious, narrow-minded, acts impetuously rather easily. 紫微, of 阴Earth element, is the leader of all the stars; the chinese name for this star is the basis for the name of this numerological system. Where it falls in the subject chart represents one area of main focus; where the subject may also come across as demanding and imperial. It represents dignity and esteem. Likening 紫微to an emperor personifies the quality of high ambition, far-sightedness, pride, power and might. It represents a strong character person in Self Domain. It is one of the two natural leaders among the 14 Major Stars. However, its capacity to lead shall depend on other stars present in the Matrix (三方四正). To appreciate how the star structure in 三方四正affects 紫微, imagine a Chinese Imperial court. For the Emperor to realise his vision and plans, he will need his team. The constitution of the team affects the Emperor’s effectiveness and ability to rule. With this in mind, we can classify the matrix into four grades, by looking at what stars are present in the Matrix. The most esteemed structure consists of a court filled with good officials in the matrix. It indicates an Emperor who is strongly supported. Preferably with stars that occur in pairs are both present, for instance, 左辅the Left Deputy and 右弼the Right Deputy both appearing in the Matrix. It is equally good when the pair-stars are placed in the two adjacent houses on either side of the domain. The placements of pair-stars in the two adjacent houses create the Flanking Effect, which exerts great influence to the domain concerned too. A team as such paves the way for an illustrious and brilliant career for the Emperor. Next, we have the grade of a capable ruler. It is an Emperor who finds Auspicious Stars (good officials) and Inauspicious Stars (bad officials) both present in the Matrix. However, the Auspicious Stars have to outnumber the Adverse Stars. The presence of imperial subordinates ensures that the ruler is capable of achievements. An isolated Emperor is one who gets no subordinates at all. This means that both the Auspicious Stars and the Adverse Stars are absent in the Matrix. It is like an Emperor who roams the wilderness alone without any accompanying officials. For a personality, this indicates one who holds pride, vision and ideology dearly, but without any assistance, these dreams cannot be brought to fruition.
8.1. 紫微 ZI WEI — EMPEROR

The worst grade is a despotic ruler occurs when his imperial court is void of Auspicious Stars for assistance, but rather, many or all of the Adverse Stars are present in the matrix. There can be some achievement in life, but they will be overshadowed by many failures, or drastic failures. In 命宫, it indicates the negative personality traits typically associated with a person in power, such as arrogance, prejudice, being extremely opinionated, dominating and generally unreasonable. In summary, 紫微does not fear the effects of adverse stars, rather it is the lack of able assistants to carry out his grand visions that is worrying. The less appropriate domains to be placed with 紫微the Emperor are the interpersonal relationship domains, because it generally means that the opposite party will be stronger and more capable than the subject will. A good 紫微 in these domains nevertheless means that the opposite party can be relied upon. But a bad Ziwei in these domains indicates that the opposite party can be extremely authoritative. Logically, therefore, it is the worst for Peers Domain to have a bad Emperor Star because one would never possibly exert control over his/her subordinates. 紫微in the 财昂宫Domain means the ability to spend like a king. It does suggest generosity towards others too. However, whether one is really rich or merely appear to be rich shall depend on other stars. If it falls into 夫妻宫, there is a tendency to marry someone that wants to be treated like a king or queen!
8.1.1
Characteristics of the Star
Appearance 1. The figure is heavy, strong and full appearance. Favoured colours are purple and yellow. 2. The one is experienced, modest and polite. He is smart but cannot insist personal idea firmly. He has no insistence but likes to dominate everything. Characters 1.

It can increase good lucky to change the disadvantageous matters. 2. Toleration: It can solve the distress for the things that you wish not to meet. Thinking Eternity The light of the Dipper is not apparent, yet it is eternal and immobile. It always guides the lost away from dangerous place. Even though a comet has strong light, it can only get a blink of praise. Modesty Since time immemorial, those who boasted shooting will die in shooting; boasted in swimming will die in swimming. The bamboo is praised for modesty though it is hollow.

CHAPTER 8. THE FOURTEEN MAJOR STARS
Haughtiness 紫微is an emperor star. If the subject is too presumptuous and considers himself to be an emperor, his happiness and luck cannot be lasting.

In 命宫, a good Emperor is magnanimous and rules with elegance, while a bad Emperor leads a deteriorating and degrading life. However, a common trait is that an emperor carries emotions of extreme proportions. Imagine that an emperor is capable of showering someone with all the imperial favour, while equally capable of executing someone he abhors. People with this star in their Ming palace love praise and demand loyalty. They can be conceited and easily influenced, which can make them permissive and tolerant. They have tender egos but will often not disclose their feelings. 紫微is a dominant star, but it possess little of it’s own character. It is heavily dependent on the influence of other stars’ personalities. The location of the 紫微is key to identifying one of the dominant areas of the subject’s life. Which aspect is most important to you? Which aspect of your life consumes you most? Who overshadows you? Normally people with 紫微in their 官禄宫tend to be known for their work. Others, will be known for their famous parents, or famous kids, while others are known for their successful businesses....etc. People with 紫微in 命宫tend to have these set of qualities: 1.

Like all rulers, its effectiveness depends on the characters and personalities of the other stars in his vicinity. He is very much dependent on the arrangement of the other stars in the same or related courts: 1. with 左辅and/or 右弼are, 紫微is effective, and successful. His life is easy because of support. Without them, he will have to do without much support, in isolation. 2. with 禄存, he can get very successful and prosperous. 3. The wealth of 天府has a significant effect on 紫微. Related to 天府, 紫微has the capacity to create wealth. 4. at 午Court, he is loved by people, and romantic. 5. at 卯or 酉courts, he might be a hopeless romantic, or an isolated leader, like monk or priest.

8.2. 天机 TIAN JI — HEAVENLY MACHINE
8.2
153
天 机 Tian Ji — Heavenly Machine
天文名称：南斗第三星 天机星由来：姜子牙(名尚)又称姜太公或太公望，最有名典故：姜太公在溪边以无钩的钓 竿钓鱼，而文王为求名臣佐国而来，见此情形而问姜子牙，姜子牙就说了这么一句话：无钩 垂钓离水三寸，愿者上钩，不愿者回头，这形容处事以不变应万变的态度。姜子牙其实到了 八十出头才遇武王而受重视，因而出仕周为辅佐大臣，他从年幼到老几乎过的非常失意，根 本就是穷鬼一个，再加上娶了马千金这个败家女，直到离婚他才起运。 话说回头，一日，姜子牙在河边垂钓而遇文王礼聘回国为相，文王去世后他仍继续辅佐 武王，直到伐纣成功，并封在齐为侯，直到寿终正寝，其魂魄到南天门就被领到“天机星” 为驻守之神，所以他代表智能、慈善、辅佐，是为宰相之星。 The representative for this star is Jiang Ziya(姜子牙), who was military strategist for King Wen(文王) and assisted King Wen with conquering his states. Jiang Ziya was known for his kindnesss, wisdom and gentle nature. He has long and thin face and moderate figure. He is not tall but not short. Yet, he is quick-tempered, oversensitive and sentimental. Tianji, of 阴Wood element, represents kindness and rules the Siblings Domain. This star is chiefly about wit, adaptability, and changes. For a person, it means the most intelligent, and possibly the most learned, among the Fourteen Major Stars. A Tianji person is quick witted, learns fast and thinks fast, and is capable of multi-tasking. He is an analyst, a planner, and a strategist all in one. However, it does not possess the stature of a leader. An ultimate leader does not need to be intelligent, but he must be decisive, strong, and steadfast. Tianji the Chief Advisor represents the opposite. For this reason, it is not advisable for Tianji to go into traditional business, especially in sole-proprietorship. Other than the fundamental observation of how bright it is, the main assessment for Tianji the Chief Advisor is whether it gets to meet 天魁the Status Star and 天钺the Reputation Star. They provide it with many opportunities in life, in addition status and reputation. A wise brain needs the right opportunities to shine and gain recognition. A principle of 紫微斗数is balance. Therefore, it is not that appropriate when Tianji the Chief Advisor gets to meet 文昌the Literacy Star or 文曲the Eloquence Star. Wenchang and Wenqu represent talent and intelligence too. 天机combined with 文昌and 文曲is considered unbalanced. However, it is fine if it is placed with Tiancai 天才, and 龙池and 凤阁, because these stars represent talent in special skills. As 天机is not as strong as a true leader, it is considerably negative when it gets to meet the Adverse Stars and 化忌the Negative Enhancer. These stars would expose its weaknesses, including indecisiveness, fickle-mindedness and inconsistency. You can notice well that these descriptions are the negative manifestations of those same qualities that we have talked about. The Adverse Stars would also make life considerably hard for a 天机person, as compared with for people of the Major Stars of more steely nature. Since 天机the Chief Advisor is about changes, it is basically not too appropriate to be placed in Wealth Domain and Properties Domain. Changes means impermanence, and thus the connotation of coming and going nature, and it is not the best description for wealth and assets. The coming and going nature, manifests in the Peers Domain too, therefore, it pays for
154
CHAPTER 8. THE FOURTEEN MAJOR STARS
a business person to take note of this characteristics, as one must be prepared for the quick turnover rate of subordinates. In Siblings, Love and Offspring Domains, it also means that the counterpart is witty and adaptable. For 兄弟宫and Offspring Domains, it also usually means few in number. However, the meaning of changes may not bid well for Love Domain and 父母宫. One of the following descriptions would surely manifest when Tianji the Chief Advisor is placed in the 官禄宫Domain: The job entails multi-tasking or is of a multi-responsibility nature; often-changing jobs or professions; holding more than one job at a time. The 天机star is a dynamic, thinking star. It is seldom sitting still. In the Courts that it sits in, it causes change. Often the changes are minor, but disruptive. 天机in a palace indicates much change and instability. The best way to deal with 天机, is to go with its flow, by taking measures against early long term commitments, or avoiding jobs that are too routine. 天机can be a very positive star when the structure around it is good. It is intelligent. Use its power.

CHAPTER 8. THE FOURTEEN MAJOR STARS A. 官禄宫: achieve both fame and wealth first and then fall into disrepute, the one must take care of lawsuit B. Body health: if the star meets Yang Tuo in the condition of Si Hui, it means the one might have harm in body; if the star meets Huo Ling, the one might be hurt by fire. III Logic
1. In the broken morning, the sun hides unlimited essence. 2. Things will develop in the opposite direction when they become extreme. Keeping away from the prosperous period can prevent failure. When the sun rises, it is the best position for the sun. The sunlight at noon is too vigorous. In the circle of show business, the one might be popular and unpopular soon. 3. Hiding the talent and ability is the prelude of success. The one must brew his energy and take the frustration as a test. He should conserve energy and build up strength for using in the future. It is the easiest to understand the characteristics of Taiyang because we can associate it with the real astral body. In 紫微斗数, 太阳, of Yang Fire element, represents status and honour. Think of the sun in our solar system, and we can visualise several basic traits of Taiyang. We know where it is positioned exactly according to the time of the day every day. Its position cannot be changed, and this implies steadfastness. All life forms on earth have benefited from its heat and light, and this implies that Taiyang is more of a provider than a taker. Everyone on earth does not always appreciate the heat given by the sun in the day, and this implies that Taiyang will always have some detractors. The primary assessment of 太阳the Sun is its brightness according to its position in relation to the time (hour) represented by the twelve Earthly Branches of the twelve houses in the chart. It is bright when it is placed in houses from 寅to 未, because the Earthly Branches of these houses represent daylight hours. It is dim when it is placed in houses from 申to 丑, because the Branches here represent nightfall. The previously mentioned basic traits of Taiyang are fully valid for it in the daylight houses, and especially pronounced in 卯and 午(houses because it is the brightest here. To enjoy the brightness and status of the Sun fully, a person has to be born in daylight hours too. Otherwise, these descriptions are somewhat reduced for someone who is born at night. For a Taiyang placed in dim positions, its steadfastness remains present though not as apparent. However, the other two traits are reduced to a lower degree because it is not giving as much light and heat at night: Life is less of a burden because it is providing less; and it has fewer detractors because it attracts less attention. But the catch here is that Taiyang the Sun in dim houses gets less recognition too. Again, a person who is born at night is worse off for a dim Sun, than one who is born in the day. As the other ultimate leader besides 紫微the Emperor Star, the grades of 太阳the Sun is also assessed according to how many aides it has in the basic structure, and whether both the Auspicious Stars that come in pairs are present together in the Matrix. When a bright Taiyang has perfect combinations of supporting casts, it can be even more outstanding than a Ziwei that has them. This is because it is the basic nature of Taiyang the Sun to shine, while
8.3. 太阳 TAI YANG — SUN
161
Ziwei the Emperor is not as much exposed due to its high self esteem and pride. However, the presence of Adverse Stars can cause bad results from being outstanding. And, again identical to 紫微the Emperor Star, it is best to place it in 官禄宫Domain, which indicates a bright and shining career. This is especially so in 巳and 午houses. 财昂宫, however, is not its best position because the star is more about status and reputation than wealth. Whether in Self or Wealth Domain, Taiyang the Sun always indicates some form of financial burden or bearing extra financial duty, because the star is about giving/providing. Estates Domain is not suitable either because the Sun is continuously on the move, however, this nature is good for 迁移宫Domain, and it indicates that one gets recognition easily overseas. In relationship domains, Taiyang the Sun always suggests that it is easier to have frictions with male counterparts, namely, husband for a woman, and father, son, and male friends for both genders. It may be at a minimum when the Sun is in bright houses, but it is obvious when it is in dim houses, or when the person is born at night. 太阳The Sun The symbolism of the Sun is expansive and expressive, but can also indicate an area where we are boastful and blunt. People with 太阳in the 命宫tend to have these set of qualities: 1. independent, open-minded, and status conscious. 2. elegant, benevolent, and has an air of sophistication, in courts where 太阳is bright and associated with helpful assistant stars. 3. less elegant, more hungry for recognition and calculative, in courts where the 太阳is dim. 4. tendency to be extravagant and showy, and most likely to stand out from the crowd. 5. display the better star qualities when born in the daytime 3am-3pm. 6. tend not to have good relationship with the father; especially so for those born at night. 7. can expect a degree of fame / status and fortune, if born in the daytime, in bright court and surrounded by good helper stars. 太阳is an described as showy, benevolent, generous, Masculine, Open-minded, Elegant. Influenced by other stars can change the character of this star. Tai Yang can be generalized like so: 1. with positively artistic stars like 文昌and 文曲, he elegant and generous. He is well regarded by others as a shining example. In bright courts, he can hold high status. 2. with more destructive stars like 陀罗, 擎羊, his actions are always seen in a negative light; he will face difficulties, and will go about in any way to gain attention. 3. 太阳, at his darkest, can be vain, and self absorbed. 4. With destructive stars like 地空and 地劫, he is liken to being shrouded by a cloud. His character will be passive, and almost reclusive. 5. 卯: He is bright, he will have status and even wealth if he is accompanied by helper stars like 文昌.

CHAPTER 8. THE FOURTEEN MAJOR STARS
6. 酉: Can be successful with fame, but he tends not to follow through with his plans. 7. 子: He is sensitive, less effective, less confident in a dim court. 8. 午: His is over confident, extravagant. It can be good or bad depending on the other stars. 9. 丑未: He is being influenced by 太阴, which is his opposite. He tends to be unpredictable and uncertain about how to react to situations. 10. 寅申: enthuisiatic and talkative. He is brighter in the Yin Court, there he’ll be more effective with his actions and words. 11. 巳辰: He is bright. With good influences, his powers will shine. 12. 亥戌: He is dim. Fame is not likely though he can be successful monetarily. He is also less generous and more extravagant. The 太阳is the Sun. It is warm, sophisticated, generous. It’s power is its ability to project itself and get famous. In courts where this star is dim, and/or affected by harmful stars, it is likened to be a sun on a cloudy day - ineffective. To a certain extent, 太阳represents husband and/or father to a female, and self to a male subject. 擎羊, 陀罗, 火星and 铃星are harmful to 太阳. Their influence may bring about undisciplined sex and substance abuse, overspending, vanity and poor relationships. The best way to deal with 太阳, is to allow its strengths to flourish. If it is not strong, use the qualities of the neighboring stars in the structure to help it along.
8.3.2
Destiny Domain — 命宫
(1) Harm to masculine of near relations (2) The woman might complain or might be fastidious to her spouse. The suitable job for the woman is study, joining examination, literature and art, and public service. (3) The one will be easy to suffer from eyes disease, neurasthenia, heart disease, blood vessels disease and diabetes. 太阳represents brightness, altruism, and generosity. 太阳symbolizes masculinity, is very blunt, and tends to show off. Women with Tai Yang in their Ming are very competent and ambitious. 太阳here is good for people born during the day the sun is bright so they can succeed and achieve fame easily. 太阳here for people born at night is more difficult the sun is dark and they will often work very hard for very little reward. In a woman’s chart in the Ming or 夫妻 宫Palace with a rating of 4 or 5, her mate will hurt her in some way physically, emotionally, etc. People with 太阴and 太阳in the same Palace are very changeable.
8.3.3
Siblings Domain — 兄 弟宫
Siblings and friends are many. They tend to be extravagant or generous, depending on the brightness of the star. Relationship with the subject depends on whether there are harmful stars like 擎羊, 陀罗, 地空, 地劫. If the star is bright (rating 1 or 2), the siblings achieve success. If the star is dark (rating 5), the siblings are average in ability.
8.3. 太阳 TAI YANG — SUN

1. Though the one has many brothers, yet they purchase houses separately. 2. If the star sits in the palace singly, it means the one has three brothers. If the star meets 太阴in the palace, it means the one has five brothers. If the start meets 巨门, then the one has three brothers.

Marriage Domain — 夫 妻宫
Relationship depends on the brightness of the star and influences of other stars. If star is dim, best to delay comittment to later life. The spouse is strong, masculine and assertive. (1) For a woman: I. Her husband is admired by many people. II. Her husband can seek single target such as study or technology for the whole life. (2) For a man: I. His wife can bear hardships and hard work. II.The man might treat his wife with dull, selfish and faint attitude. If the man can be content with dull life, he and his wife can grow old together. Taiyang Huaji in Love Domain is slightly more negative for a woman’s chart than a man’s chart. It indicates lots of distruptive interference by others whether in courtship or marriage, perhaps in terms of gossips and trouble. It is also slightly worsed off when one is born in night hours. 太阳化忌: taiyang huaji in the spouse palace..... Relates to gossips, selfishness, some sort of mysterious, stubborness, of course perhaps on your side as male it becomes draining.

Children Domain — 子 女 宫
Probably lots of bright, noisy, active children / students/ employees. The relationship is not necessarily good. If bright (1 or 2), the child is very active.

武 曲 Wu Qu — General

Narrative
The representative of this star is the successor of Wen Wang(文王), his son Chou Wu Wang(周 武王). He is the god of fortune and handles wealth, bravery and longevity. Yet it is a star of widowed nature, so it is not good for a woman. The one will have white face, wide forehead, rough brows, hard hair, sturdy character, honesty and personal loyalty, straightforward temper, new ideas at any time, systematization in work. 武曲星之代表人物为文王的儿子姬发即周武王，为财富之神司掌『财富』、『武勇』、 『寿』，又为寡宿之星不利女命，面白晰、额宽、眉粗、毛发粗硬、性格刚毅，诚实信用， 重义气、直性子、死不认输，有新奇点子，作事有板有眼。

Characteristics

Figure and temper Figure Round face, cold expression if no smile, strong body, not too fat but in good health, unusual thick hair Temper Chastity, heroic and indomitable attitude, fortitude, docility 2. Characters (a) Wealth Star The one can have good performance in career. If 天机is named as planner, then 武曲can be regarded as executor.

suitable for trade benefit in military service benefit in civil service can earn the money but cannot save it
166
CHAPTER 8. THE FOURTEEN MAJOR STARS
III Logic 1. If the star meets 化禄in the same palace, the one will have good wealth; if the star meets 化忌, then the one will be bankrupt. The one is firm in behavior and does not hesitate in making decisions. The one seldom reminds the passing things, but looks into the future. So it will be benefit for him to have correct judgement, if not he will fail. The key point is that he needs a brain trust and good friends. 2. If the star is in the 仆役宫palace, the one will be hurt by villains. Please pay attention to making friends. 3. The big reason that influences wealth is the happiness and luck, the second reason is will and career. Losing great fortune will influence the strategy and thoughts for the future. No fortune, no happiness. To start an enterprise or take up an occupation must depend on your wealth and then match up with interest, will and the background of expertise. The 武曲star is the finance manager. It is also metal, which had a brittle character. Other stars will affect its attitude towards money making. If structure is good, he’ll be skilled at investments. Otherwise he may get reckless and lose everything. He may even get into a violent situation if structure is too brittle. In some instances, military career is suitable. 武曲also has a special quality of being multi-skilled. This is especially so in the presence of Puo Jun and/or 文昌and 文曲. In this case, he can make a career in creative occupations like performance arts.
8.4.3
Destiny Domain — 命宫
武曲is the hardworking army general. This star can accumulate wealth through labour. These people can have successful careers but, like a general, they make decisions on their own and prefer to give orders, not take them. They are workaholics, can be cold-hearted, and find it difficult to maintain close relationships. They are opinionated and strong. Women with 武 曲in their Ming Gong often lead their husbands and are competitive with men. (1)The one can own fortune by working hard. The job must relate to economics and metal. (2)Suitable for the job of military, police 武曲the Military Minister is one of the three wealth stars, and also one of the three fighters. This is because it is of 寅Metal property, and weaponry and ancient coins were both made of metal. Although it does represent wealth, as a fighter, 武曲is quick and vigorous, and it is action oriented. The other two wealth stars are Tianfu the Finance Minister and Taiyin the Moon. Tianfu is conservative while Taiyin is quiet and it focuses more on planning, therefore, among the three wealth stars, Wuqu is more likened to be a businessperson - one who takes action and acts fast for acquiring wealth. Therefore, we can understand that it is best to be placed in 财昂宫Domain, and it is the star that benefits best from the presence of Lucun the Treasurer or Hualu the Flow Enhancer. With the presence of Tiankui the Status Star and Tianyue the Reputation Star, while provided that there are no Adverse Stars present, Wuqu in Self Domain indicates the capacity to be a powerful figure in the finance world. Without the presence of Lucun the Treasurer, Hualu the Flow Enhancer, and other Auspicious Stars, quick thinking and quick actions do not assure successes for Wuqu the Military Minister. On the other hand, quick and vigorous nature could easily be the cause of disastrous failures when 武曲finds Adverse Stars present in its Matrix. Therefore, it is the Major Star that gets greater negative impact from Huaji the Negative Enhancer and Adverse Stars more than other Major Stars does. As a wealth star, it is good to be placed in the 官禄宫Domain and the Estates Domain too. In Career Domain, an auspicious 武曲represents business acumen and assures success in
8.4. 武曲 WU QU — GENERAL
167
business, or the financial sector. The inappropriate domains to place 武曲are the 迁移宫Domain and the interpersonal relationship domains. The English name I have given serves to remind that it is more apt for the Military Minister to stay in the imperial court near where the emperor is, which means that one needs to strive harder when away from home when it is placed in the Travel Domain. The tough character and quick nature of Wuqu is another reason, for it suggests that tact is lacking when interacting with others. And, its tough character is the main reason 武曲the Military Minister is an inauspicious star in interpersonal relationship domains. Its worst placement is in the Love Domain. Here, it definitely needs the presence of Auspicious Stars to reduce or alter the negative effect in order to have a fine relationship and an ordinary marriage. 武曲The Army General, Dance 武曲represents military authority. In your 财昂宫palace, this star can bring prosperity and a successful career. However, those with this star in their first house can be the type who gives orders easier than taking them! Other descriptions: Finance, 财昂宫Creator,Wealth Manager, Investor The level of brightness of the 武曲star is shown below: People with 武曲in the Self Court tend to have these set of qualities: 1. strong willed, tough, brittle character. 2. independent and determined. 3. can be skillful and clever, especially with the help of Tang Lang, 文昌, 文曲in related courts.. 4. Is good in finances especially when 天魁and 天钺is in related courts. 5. with Puo Jun, the subject tend to have a hectic life; partly due to his brittle character. 6. a tendency to violence (because of money) if star is related to 擎羊, 陀罗, 火星. Some advice in this case, for person to take up career as Surgeon / Butcher ...etc. that’s knufe related. 7. Person has a potential to create wealth, unless there are too many harmful elements around the Self court, or if 武曲is transformed to 化忌. 8. tendency to be a loner. 武曲is an described as brittle, skillful, strong-willed, wealth creator. Influenced by other stars can change the character of this star. 武曲can be generalised like so: 1. with positively artistic stars like 文昌and 文曲,has outstanding skills. 2. with more destructive stars like 陀罗, 擎羊, he will have a violent nature. 3. 武曲is a wealth creator. He is useful if the structure is good. But will be the other extreme if transformed to 化忌. 4. at 寅and 申courts, he is skilled. Type of skill depends on the other stars. 5. in 子and 午courts, he is good at handling money and creating wealth. Extent of which depends on structure.

172
CHAPTER 8. THE FOURTEEN MAJOR STARS • It is not afraid of malignant star, in the contrary, the malignant star can strengthen the one’s creation.
4. For female • The female avoids all the stars with the nature of water. 5. Si-Hua 化权or 化 科 the one will be active and aggressive. 化禄 the one might be lazy than before, though it brings edible and salary 化忌 though the one will be busy, yet the one is not afraid of malignant deity. So the one must be an optimist. III Logic 1. Good fortune: No matter smart or fool, the god might arrange good ways for them. When a new one does not how to carry out, the god will give him good fortune to help him. To skillful people, the good fortune will be withdrawn, and the technique will be increased to supply the shortage of good fortune. 2. Intelligence: Some artists have plenty of spirit life but shortage of substance. It is not easy to have good fortune and intelligence at the same time. Common people have thick happiness, the ingenious people have thin happiness. The intelligent star such as 文昌and 文曲, it is absolutely not hua-lu. 3. 福德宫and disasters: Happiness might hide disasters and disasters must be the dependence of happiness. Do not be arrogant and do bad thing due to having authority, otherwise the disasters might come. 4. Content: 化忌means not content to the reality. Happy is he who is content. Then he will not be insulted in lifetime. For the salary, commanding officer, or elders, content still is the suitable for the one facing to these people. Tiantong is one of the two Major Stars that are well liked by the traditional Chinese society because it is peaceful and non-antagonising. It is of Yang Water and it represents blessings, or blessedness. The other Major Star that gets all the praises is Tianfu the Finance Minister. In a feudal society, an element in the society must be conforming and not rebellious. Tiantong the Contentment Star is not so much about being a conformist, but it definitely is easy going. For the 14 Major Stars other than 太阳the Sun and 太阴the Moon, which need no explanation in their names, I have preferred to personify the rest when giving them English names. However, out of the twelve stars, there are four that are not easy to do it. If I were to stick with naming Tiantong as an officer, it can be likened to one who takes charge of dining and entertainment for the Emperor. Obviously, there is no common name in English for such an appointment, but from the description, it will help one to remember that Tiantong is about going for fine taste and pleasure in life, and not about fighting for achievements in life, or to conquer life. And, by adding the English word contentment, one would have a good grasp of its basic traits.
8.5. 天同 TIAN TONG — PLEASURE SEEKER
173
Basically, Tiantong the Contentment Star is the least driven to go for high achievements in life, unless what the person enjoys doing much does provide room for achievement. This implies that a Tiantong person has to go into trades that he/she loves in the first place. It could be food and beverages, hospitality trades, beauty trades, the music industry, and so on, and I realise that an area in the modern world could allow many young Tiantong people to be accommodated: the computer gaming industry. Some classic texts described a Tiantong structure that is placed with Lucun the Treasurer and Hualu the Flow Enhancer as excellent. I beg to differ, if it is not a structure that comes with Tiankui and Tianyue, the pair of Auspicious Stars that brings great opportunities. If Tiantong the Contentment Star person is blessed with double Lu (Lucun and Hualu) but not Tiankui and Tianyue, the subject can become too indulgent in emotions and hobbies, without determination or any fighting spirit. Rather, it is good to have an Adverse Star in its structure to provide it with stimulant and drive. Alternatively, a better Tiantong is one that is attached with Huaquan the Power Enhancer, and the combination makes a person more pragmatic. A special feature of Tiantong when it is placed in the Self/财昂宫/官禄宫Triangle (Sanfang) is that there are many chances in life to strike out into some hobby business from scratch, and I call it the start-anew nature. In interpersonal relationship domains, the blessedness of Tiantong indicates generally good bonding with the counterparts, except in Love Domain, where its start-anew nature may also rule, suggesting bad omen for marriage. Thus, Tiantong the Contentment Star in Love Domain does not give a straightforward analysis. The 天同star is a happy-go-lucky star. It lacks direction and a sense of urgency to get anything done, or to control anything. Often people with the 天同in their main Courts, like Self, 官禄宫, 财昂宫, find it difficult to come to terms with the fact that good things come with adversity. This is because while harmful transformation by 化忌, and harmful stars cause him stress and difficulties, they also help make this star more disciplined and better able to progress. Good stars and transformations make him happy, but he may not get anywhere in life and develop unhealthy habits, like promiscuity, substance abuse...etc. 天同also makes it difficult to stick to commitments, so late marriages is advised, or if the marriage has recovered from a bad patch, chances are, it’ll be good later on. 天同is good in the Karma Court.

For social activities, the one will spend lots of money to increase human relations. 贪狼 The one is good at managing money. So he can use the money in different ways. The income is obtained by opportunity. And he will spend money due to social activities. 天机 The one prefers to earn opportunistic wealth. He has strong ability of turnover. The way of technique is really suitable for the one. 廉贞, of 阴Fire property, is the most complex star among the fourteen Major Stars because its traits vary most widely. The Chinese words Lian and Zhen mean honesty and chastity, but it takes stringent conditions for 廉贞to live up to these meanings. For a start, there must not be any Adverse Stars in its matrix. Next, it matters much what dual Major Star combination does it form (these would be discussed in dual star chapters). At the other end of the spectrum, Lianzhen is also the Secondary Peach Blossom - the capacity to captivate the opposite gender, and it is about indulging in emotions, hence, the Star of Passion. If you have grasped these characteristics of Lianzhen, you would comprehend why it represents Confinement/Imprisonment (hua qi wei jian) in the classic text. For a person who has not the highest grade of Lianzhen in Self Domain, he/she is always easily trapped/confined/imprisoned by his/her emotions. A 廉贞person can be gracious and often exudes humour and friendliness, but he/she may be very rigid with principles. Thus, do not expect a Lianzhen person to bend the rules easily for you even if you are the best of friends. In addition to emotions and about passion, Lianzhen the Passion Star can also mean money or blood. To make it even more complicated, it can be a combination of any of the two meanings, or all three of the meanings. For instance, when Lianzhen lands in a bad condition, it can mean a negative impact on emotions, it can be bad money luck, it can be a blood disease or a bloody event, or it can be a combination of all these. Therefore, it is always inclusive to look at only the star alone, without considering what other stars that are present in its matrix. As the Secondary Peach Blossom, Lianzhen suggests multi-talents too. A 廉贞person is basically artistic, especially in building and colour. Therefore, one may be keen to learn painting, photography or expresses an interest in architecture or interior design. A high grade 廉贞may also excel in politics, the Military, business world or performance arts.
8.6. 廉贞 LIAN ZHEN — PROPRIETY
179
And, the fact that it is a Peach Blossom 桃花, it is generally inauspicious to be placed in the Love Domain. More specifically, it means much indulgence in many loves but it is bad for marriage life. In other interpersonal relationship domains, it is considered bad in Parents Domain, but good in every other, especially the Children Domain. However, again, it may not be conclusive at all by only looking at 廉贞alone, because it is very sensitive to the effect of other stars present. In the 财昂宫Domain, 廉贞the Passion Star means wealth acquired through competitive means. Lianzhen the Passion Star is also one of the two Major Stars that present the widest difference when it is attached with Hualu the Flow Enhancer 化禄, or Huaji the Negative Enhancer 化忌. Lianzhen the Passion Star has an inclination towards arts, and it is more likely to appreciate things beautiful, hence, getting into architecture is one common phenomenon. It is also a star good in discerning colours, therefore, there are many examples of a Lianzhen person taking up painting or photography. 廉贞is the politician star and also one of the “peach blossom”stars those stars associated with romance, flirting and affairs. If positively positioned, it can bring success in dealing with others, if poorly positioned, it can represent being “too slick”, problems with infidelity, gambling, or alcohol. 廉贞is one of the Peach Blossom Stars. The 廉贞star exhibits extremes in character. There is little middle ground. To understand how this star affects an aspect of life is to understand this extreme, and how the structure and transformations affect it. 廉贞is your best friend and your worst enemy. Watch out for it, especially during periods when it is influenced by 化忌. Take extra precautions when this is influencing the travel palace. 廉贞化忌: Lianzhen with Huaji doesn’t mean bad it just that he Lianzhen quality is messy. So if you are in messy Lianzhen type of work you can do better. Use the power of 廉贞for harnessing creativity in the arts, and socializing.

Lianzhen 化忌in Love domain It certainly is bad to have Lianzhen 化忌in Love Domain, in terms of the given trends. Therefore, the knowledge gives us the chance to be more prepared and not to take a relationship for granted. However, the degree of impact cannot be specified for an individual because our karma is different. The worst (or philosophically, the best) is the inability to find love; the most common is often encountering bad romance; the generic in terms of effect is that it is more severe on one’s emotion (negative Passion Star = negative emotions).

Chapter 9
6 Bad Stars 9.1
陀 罗and 擎 羊
擎羊and 陀罗always clip 禄存. These are considered harmful stars because their actions hamper the prospects and effectiveness of other stars in the structure. The effect by 擎羊is likened to an attacking spear. Its effects are quick, severe and immediate. The effect brought on by 陀罗is unseen, surprising, slow, less severe. 陀罗causes delays in success. 擎羊is said to work well with in a good structure, for it makes for a less conservative 天 府; giving the latter a keen business sense. Things will get very tough for the court between 擎羊and 陀罗if there is a 化忌 transformation there. Beware of accidents when encountering these stars in the 迁移宫. Important to take notice where these stars fly to in the 10-year and 1-year charts. Overlapping of these stars may indicate severe problems.
9.1.1
陀罗
意气用事、容易受攻击。陀罗星曜说明：陀罗是斗数中的忌星，是六煞之一，带有拖延的倾 向。其实，陀罗的特性是反复的行动，就如同陀螺旋转一般，不是静止而是动态。他人看这 反复的行动常误解为拖延、周折，事实上却有着沉稳谨慎的用意。如何让拖延转化为用，便 是陀罗的调适之道。 A person with 陀罗in Destiny Domain is typically swayed by personal feelings, and is prone to injuries. The 陀罗is one of 紫微斗数’s unfortunate star, and is one of the six sha stars. It brings along the tendency to slow things down, makes things sluggish and impart inertia. In actual fact, 陀罗’s characteristic is repeated motion, is similar to top spinning - though not static, but repetitive. Others typically perceive this repeated motion as dragging, the troubles, in fact actually a deeper meaning to it. The key to curbing 陀罗’s negative influence is in leveraging on the ability to slow things down. 陀罗个性特征：具有沉稳慎重的个性，对需要不断反复的行动，如实验、研究、练习 等，有韧性，不轻易妥协，能坦然面对各种变化、挫折，努力而上进。也因此能接受新的事 227

CHAPTER 9. 6 BAD STARS
物，勇于尝试。(1)伤害(主宫)。(2)是非。(3)桃花。(4)感情。(5)武勇。(6)陀罗为隐藏式破 财。(7)与人难感情沟通。 陀罗’s Characteristic: Possesses a calm prudent individuality, unable to keep still. Likes to experiment, research,practice and so on. Possesses toughness and does not compromise easily. Capable of facing each kind of change and setback with confident diligence for progress. 陀罗therefore dares to attempt and try on new endeavours. 1. Injury (main palace). 2. Involved in rumours and troubles. 3. Peach blossom. 4. Sentimental. 5. Brute. 6. Slow silent financial losses through attrition. 7. Unable to communicate feelings freely. 陀罗为四煞之一，乃一凶星。在寅申巳亥宫落陷，辰戌丑未入庙。守身命，心行不正， 暗泪长流，性刚威猛，作事进退，有始无终，横成横破，飘荡不定，不作本处居民。陀罗入 命，身形雄壮，脸呈方圆形，两颊略宽，入庙多肥胖，落陷颜面有伤痕，齿弱。其性狡猾， 善工心计，多疑。 1、陀罗喜西、北籍生人，辰戌丑未年生人，命身宫在辰戌丑未者，武人能横发高迁， 文人发不耐久。2、若无正星而陀罗独守命宫者，与父母缘薄，孤单、弃祖外出、入赘或过 继，二姓延生，巧艺为活。3、陀罗守命，会左辅、右弼、文曲、文昌，主人有暗痣。 Person has hidden mole if 陀罗is in Destiny Palace and meets 左辅, 右弼, 文昌, 文曲, 4、陀 罗陷宫守命，逢巨或四煞，必伤妻子，背六亲，且伤残带疾。 Should a dim 陀罗in Destiny palace encounter 巨门or the 4 sha, there is a propensity to betray close relatives, hurt wife, the weak and suffers from some sort of illness. 5、陀罗在寅 申巳亥守命身，其人必定破相，肢体有伤残，若非夭折之命，则必刑伤甚重，唯离祖出外则 灾祸减轻，多主其人貌丑。6、陀罗与贪狼同宫，为人好投机，必因酒色而成痨，若与贪狼 同宫于寅，主人聪明而为人风流。7、陀罗与火星、铃星同宫，大凶之命，易得暴病，如传 染病、瘟疫、传染性皮肤病、性病，其人大多有严重血光，残废、凶死，难得善终。 Calamitous when tuo luo encounters 火星and 铃星. Easily get transmitted bad illnesses such as pestilence, sexually transmitted diseases, skin related diseases. Might be involved in very serious or fatal accidents leading to gruesome death or paralysis. Difficult to come to a peaceful end. 在斗数中，擎羊、陀罗、火星、铃星，称为[四煞] 。另外亦加上地空、地劫，则称为[六 煞] 。四煞并非完全主凶，有时亦主成为激发的力量，如[石中隐玉格] ，[火贪格] 之类即是例 子。女人喜带点煞曜，然后始主面目姣好娇俏，或主缺憾美。如命富有陀罗主牙不齐，有擎 羊带昌曲主有雀斑或美人痣，皆属此类。 擎羊 陀罗 擎羊属阳金，带阳火之性。陀罗则属阴金，带阴火之性。两星具[火炼金] 的性质，所以吉 则为锻炼，凶则为熬煎。 擎羊化气为[刑] ，陀罗化气为[忌] ，这是形容它们的凶性. 一般而言，擎羊见火星反主激 发，陀罗见铃星亦主磨炼，这便不为[刑忌]。因为擎羊遇火星有如冶炼金块而成器，陀罗遇 铃星有如陶熔金苗而成物料，四煞的凶气便互相抵消，且化为利益。
9.1. 陀罗AND 擎羊
229
从另一角度来看，擎羊与火星的结构，又主明争，因有明争然后有激发力。陀罗与铃星 的结构，又主暗斗，因有暗斗然后始主磨炼。 若交叉相会，则与上述相反。擎羊会铃星，则阳火不足以冶炼金块，陀罗会火星，烈火 不能提炼金苗，则反主熬煎，成不良之性。 以上为四煞结合的特点。 擎羊基本上带有破坏力，而且往往主发生基础动摇的破坏，所以称之为[刑] 。它的破坏， 又为明面的横逆，当事人对横逆之来看得清清楚楚，能不能躲避是另一回事。 擎羊既带刑煞之气，所以宜军警、法律、外科医生，或为工程技术人员。不宜经商，亦 不宜文职从政。 擎羊喜居[四墓] (即辰、戌、丑、未四宫) ，尤其是辰戌罗网，最喜擎羊激发。与火星同 会，激发力更大。当大运行至此宫度时，须详宫垣正曜星系以定其际遇，一般先经坎坷而成 大器，对后运发生良好影响。 擎羊不喜廉贞，亦不喜巨门，遇此二正曜的星系，则火星同度不为激发，反主是非或灾 病。这是因为廉贞属阴火，与火星擎羊本质冲突，巨门属阴土，足以埋藏阳金、熄灭阳火。 所以男女命宫遇之，主一生多灾祸病痛。 [火贪] 或[铃贪]格亦不喜见擎丰，主暴发之后产生竞争，伏下暴败之机。故必须及时采取 保守方针，放弃与对手竞争，然后始可趋吉避凶。 凡武曲星系与擎羊同度，反不宜武职，若擎羊仅在三方会合，则宜从事军譬、保安等工 作。 贪狼不喜与擎羊同度。在午宫，[贪狼] 木火通明成格。见擎羊，虽亦有称之为[马头带箭] 者，但绝非正格，主历尽艰辛然后发迹变泰，但变泰却不耐久。水火盗劫，官非倾败，往往 于鼎盛时变生肘后，不及提防。 贪狼与擎羊居子垣，称为[泛水桃花] ，主一生沉迷酒色，亦不为佳构。 陀罗主拖延、固执、是非、妒忌，其坏处皆从暗处来，当事人往往不知是非横逆的原 因，所以称陀罗为[忌]。 [忌] 与[刑]不同，刑为明枪，忌为暗箭。所以陀罗带来的不利，往往难于趋避，而且有不 利的后果，亦往往拖延一段时期。 陀罗亦喜居[四墓] 宫垣，唯较喜丑未，在罗网宫垣无突破力。 陀罗最不喜与贪狼星系同度，对[火贪] 、[铃贪] 的破坏力相当大，因为可使突然变泰的性 质变为延缓，跟星系性质有很大矛盾，于是滋生破坏力。一般贪狼星系见陀罗，主因色患痼 疾。 贪狼在寅宫与陀罗同度，称为[风流采杖] ，主因沉迷酒色影响人生的进取，若在命宫，却 主人聪明俊秀。 贪狼在亥宫与陀罗同度，亦称[泛水桃花] ，不为美格。 陀罗不喜与巨门同度，主背面是非重重，或主生暗疾。 陀罗不喜与七杀同度，女命尤其不宜，主夫子离散，或主极迟始得论婚嫁。 凡陀罗守夫妻宫，主迟婚。守子女宫，主迟得子女。 陀罗同会事业宫或财帛宫，宜从事工艺、工程。不宜经商，常陷于胶着状态。 羊陀永远夹禄存，若与禄存同度的正曜星系不吉，则主吝啬、多疑。若正曜星系吉，则 仅主多思虑。 天梁与禄存同度于巳宫，为羊陀夹，又有煞刑冲破，则于酉、丑年应防牢狱之灾。 [紫微七杀] 在巳亥宫，亦不喜为羊陀夹，主一得发展良机，即受人掣肘。 所夹之正曜化忌，则为[羊陀夹忌] ，主灾病，倾败，视星曜结构性质而定。 若命宫陀罗同度，福德宫必见擎羊，一般主思想有激发力而行动往往犹豫不决。 若命宫与擎羊同度，夫妻宫必见陀罗，主夫妻性格各不相投。 男命太阴化忌，为羊陀夹，在命宫或夫妻宫，主婚姻失利，受妻子拖累。 女命太阳化忌，为羊陀夹，在命宫或夫妻宫，主遇人不淑，或主丈夫灾病。

CHAPTER 9. 6 BAD STARS
地 空and 地 劫
These stars are often feared because they damage the effects of stars around them. Within the courts, their presence can mean losses in wealth, possesions, hurt relationships. 地空causes sudden, instantaneous disaster. 地空 地空是斗数中的六煞之一，俗云有半天折翅的巨变特性。其实，地空是让自己维持一个 可以永远接受新东西的空间。由于能够不断更新自己，接受新的事物与观念，持续性便打了 折扣，不连贯，缺毅力，便成了地空最大的问题。 地空个性特征：乐于接受新的事物与观念，也能够破除既有的成见，常有不受限制的新 观念与想法，而得到他人的赞美。(1)落空(主宫) (2)玄学。(3)破财。(4)坠伤。(5)刑伤。 Void Earth is one of the 6 sha stars. It is known to cause sudden failures and great changes. Actually, the Void Earth retains space for one to be forever able to accept the new things. Subject is always accept the new things and the ideas, 地空is capable of renewing itself continuously. Void Earth characteristics: Is glad to accepts the new things and the ideas, can also eradicate standing prejudices, and capable of coming up with creative unexpected ideas, earning wide praise. 1. fails (main palace) 2. Affinity for metaphysics. 3. Suffers unexpected financial losses. 4. Injuries due to falls. 5. Injuries due to corporal punishment. 地劫indicates continual problems. 地劫has the tendency to nullify the work of other stars. It’s role is to make things unreal. In a bad structure it can either make things worse, or make the bad effects unreal. In relationships, this often spell hurt, either emotionally or physically. In 官禄宫, 命宫and 福德宫, it could also mean building something out of nothing, having a wild imagination, building a career out of creative thinking. Depends on how one chooses to use it. In 财昂宫, it is often bad. So, use the other sectors to create happiness and good living, and wait for the 10-year cycle where the wealth court is more prosperous with transformations to 化禄, the flying 禄存...etc. before going on a business venture. 地劫也是斗数的六煞之一，古人说具有浪里行舟的瞬变特性。事实上，地劫的本质就是 求变的心。由于自己内心求变的特质，反到能对变化处之泰然。同时，也因求变，无法固守 坚持，结果也就波动无常了。 Plundered is also one of 紫微斗数’s 6 misfortune stars. It exhibits the property of transient changes, like a small boat sailing on choppy waters. Truth be told, Plundered is a star that in essence seeks changes. Since it naturally seeks changes, it is capable of accepting changes calmly. At the same time due to its desire for change, it is unable to consolidate its position resulting in nothing achieved. 地劫个性特征：追求变化，习于变化，更能掌握变化，运用变化。因此练就了在变化中 能安然若定的功夫。
9.3. 火星- FIRE AND 铃星- SIREN
231
Plundered characteristics: Change seeker, accustomed to change. Capable of commanding and using changing circumstances. It has therefore mastered the capacity to be calm and steady amidst frequent changes. (1)落空(主宫) (2)玄学。(3)破财。(4)坠伤。(5)刑伤。 1. fails (main palace) 2. metaphysics. 3. suffers unexpected financial losses. 4. injuries due to falls. 5. injuries due to corporal punishment. 地空属阴火、地劫属阳火. 古人说，地空守命, 主[作事虚空，成败多端], 地劫守命, 主[作事疏空, 不行正道]. 这种说 法，其实是因为地空守命的人喜幻想, 其想法不为人理解，地劫守命的人喜反传统, 反潮流， 其行为亦不为人理解. 地空主精神，地劫主物质，所以地空带来的挫折，精神打击多于物质损失，而地劫带来 的挫折，物质损失大于精神打击. 地空守命, 喜见带行动色彩的正曜星系, 如[武曲七杀], 贪狼居旺宫, 破军化禄, [紫微七 杀]等, 更见吉曜, 即主可将空想付诸行动, 因而就可以抵消地空带来的缺点. 若地空与天机, 巨门等曜同度, 则多空想, 或理想太高, 而不能付诸实际行动, 于是便表现 为[作事进退] 或[作事虚空]. 火空则发, 金空则鸣, 所以地空喜遇火星于巳午宫, 主突发, 亦喜会属金的星曜于申酉宫, 主声望. 唯不宜更见其余的煞曜及忌星. 疾厄宫有地空同度，多主发生罕见之疾病。曾见一例，天梁守疾厄，火铃并会，地空同 度，患痨病菌入脑。 地劫虽主物质损失，但后遗症则比地空为轻。举例来说，地劫的失败有如高价夺得一件 古玩，到手却打破，虽可修补，但已非旧观，而地空的失败则有如欲购一件古玩却被人捷足 先登，一生当多追悔。 从精神角度来看，地空的打击较重，从物质角度来看，地劫的损失较大。由是可知，地 空较不宜入福德宫、夫妻宫、子女宫，地劫则较不宜入命宫、事业宫、财帛宫。 地劫守命，宜脚踏实地，以工艺起家，则由于能创新，亦主可以发迹。 地劫喜居辰戌二宫，则由于入罗网之故，比较倾向于现实。 空劫夹命，主一生多坎坷。 空劫同度守命，或互相对冲，多主少年不利，或失父母荫庇，或病弱，或贫困、或多灾 厄，须详各宫星曜组合而定其性质。 空劫守命或夹命者，古人认为利于出家。在现代，亦可研究冷门学问。 夫妻宫及命宫分见空劫，主夫妻性格不投，婚姻有隐衷，多内心痛苦。

火 星- Fire and 铃星 - Siren
火星is a blazing torch, and 铃星is a tolling bell. These stars make things obvious. Whatever the stars they associate with, they make them agressive, brash, show-off.

CHAPTER 9. 6 BAD STARS
In most cases, the effects are negative, since aggression normally leads to turbulent relationships, speculation, loss of wealth, litigations...etc. In some cases, however, these stars help things to move on fast, bringing about fame, authority. Analyse the major stars associated with them. Are they too agressive, then their effects are negative. If the major stars are too passive, lazy, or too subdued, then 火星and 铃星can help. Some say that 贪狼benefits from 火星by bringing unexpected wealth. 火星 火星做事讲求效率、心性急躁不定，火星星曜说明：火星是斗数中的煞星，代表的是不 断燃烧的动力。像火般的燃烧，既有明快的冲劲，也有措手不及的破坏，让人充满了波动性 与变化。火星的掌握，就是如何控制这燃烧的稳定度。 The character of fire star is interested in efficiency; typically impatient or even volatile. Fire Star is one of 紫微斗数6 misfortune stars, represents driving force. Like a fire-like combustion and sprightly momentum it also represents great damage taken by surprise. The key to taming the Fire star is to stabilise and control the combustion. 火星个性特征：有明快的行事效率，作风豪爽积极，勇于去旧换新。能接受新的事物， 勇于尝试。Personality characteristics of Fire star: efficiency, positive and forthright, the courage to go anew. The courage to try and accept new things. 铃星Siren 逞强好斗，铃星星曜说明：铃星也是斗数中的杀星，也是六煞之一，代表的是明快的行 动。只是行动中常常会用声音来助长声势，正面时，可在文艺上有所表现，负面时，则让人 感到威吓、胁迫。快速的行动力，亦需要完整的计划与落实的执行，欠缺这两者，常常就会 有头无尾，变化无常了。 Tyrannical. Siren is also one of Dou Shu’s 6 misfortune stars. It represents quick assertive actions. Operations often involve the use of sound to contribute to actions. When actions are positive, it would seem like a pleasant theatrical performance. Yet when negative, it feels forced and tyrannical. Though known for speedy action, it requires a complete plan for implementation. When there is a lack of these, projects are typically started but never completed. 铃星个性特征：能迅速行动，行事积极，反应快，机智果断，有面对挑战与困难的勇气 与决心，能破除成见，接受新的事物与观念。有时能以各种声音与文艺来表达自己的想法， 如演讲、音乐等。 Siren characteristics: able to act swiftly and act in a positive, quick, witty and decisive, has the courage to face challenges and difficulties. Capable of working beyond preconceived ideas, accept new things and ideas. Personality may be predisposed to use voice and art to express their own ideas, such as speech, music and so on. 1、火铃乃杀神，凶恶之星，于寅午戌为入庙，申子辰落陷。十二宫中皆作祸，于人命 内，有凶无吉，虽入庙旺之乡，亦非全吉，必有成败倾颓。命宫有吉遇火铃入庙者，多宜武 职荣身。唯与贪狼同宫于旺地，或二星并夹贪狼，或与贪狼加会，则为发福之论。2、火星 铃星入命，主人头面四肢带伤，脾气粗暴，心狠性毒，反抗心强。入庙则刚强果敢，聪明机 敏，有决断力。入陷宫则身材瘦小，刚愎自用，狡猾多诈，无远虑，行事欠缺谨慎，不计后 果，一生亦常遭挫折，以至精神烦闷。3、”火铃夹命为败局”，寅午戌年生人如遇火星铃星 夹命身宫，又本命之正星不吉，陷弱，或化忌，或有凶煞，则为败局，一生遭凶，贫财夭 折。如正星庙旺加吉，则主一生不顺，多小人，尚不至大凶而已。若贪狼居命有火铃夹，则 以吉论，反主富贵，事业横成。4、火铃旺宫，亦为福论，此二星入庙独坐，三合方及对宫 诸星庙旺加吉，或贪狼在对宫，亦有富贵之人，唯福不全美，或是身体有伤残，或是幼时多

灾难养，或离祖过房，不一而足。5、火铃相遇，寅午戌入庙，加吉富贵扬名，财运突发， 但骄横跋扈。6、火星铃星加见廉贞、七杀、破军、擎羊必有严重的血光之灾。 Major calamity when Huo Xing encounters Ling Xing, Lian Zhen, Qi Sha and Po Jun. Propensity towards fatal accidents. 7、火铃陷宫会羊陀，幼年多灾病，恐夭折，必过继与人 重拜父母方可活命。此类组合一生多灾多难，六亲缘薄。 Siren with Tuo Luo or Qing yang, many disasters during childhood, even with fear of mortality. Adviced to seek Adoptive parents for a chance to survive. Troubled life of such combinations, very thin relationships with close relatives. 8、女命命宫有火铃，与亲人不 和，多是非。若火铃庙旺守命加吉，纵富贵亦主骄横，居陷地多不吉 火星 铃星 火星属阳火, 铃星属阴火. 所以有[火明铃暗] 的说法. 亦即火星带来的坏处自明面而来，铃 星的灾害则较为阴暗。 亦正由于这个本质，所以[火羊] 主激发, 而[铃陀] 仅主磨炼, 读者对于这些关键宜细心体 会. 两相比较, [铃陀] 自然不及[火羊]. 凡火星或铃星在命宫，或在父母宫，主幼年离家或过继出祀。 火星守命，或守父母宫，见辅佐诸曜单星主两重父母，二姓延生，或父亲早逝。 火星喜与贪狼同度，主人生积极进取。 [紫微七杀]亦喜度火星，更会擎羊尤佳，亦主积极讲取. 唯不及[火贪] 化禄之能暴发. (紫 微坐命, 行至七杀宫垣, 亦主突然变泰, 唯不及[火贪] 之主得财. ) 上述两种星曜结构，不宜更见陀罗同度，否则格局破坏。 火星与稳定的星系同度(如紫微、紫府、天府、天梁等)，加会辅佐诸曜，则可使正曜星系 偏向于刚性发展. 例如[太阳天梁] 只带主观, 加火星则为顽固. 铃星威力较火星为弱，但阴火则较延绵，所以带来的灾难亦有永久性。例如火星多带来 物质损失，仅属一时不幸，而铃星带来的灾难，则常常带有内心痛苦，当事人很难忘记。 铃星、文昌、陀罗、武曲四曜，于辰戌二宫，主倾败，且其倾败必由自招。若流陀、流 昌冲起原局之[铃昌陀武]，则灾祸更剧。 廉贞化忌，擎羊同度，更见铃星，名[刑囚会铃] ，主死于非命，或死于兵灾。原局[刑囚 会铃] ，流年有流羊冲起，为祸更烈，且往往即为克应之期。 廉贞七杀，有擎羊同度， 会铃星，称为[廉杀羊铃] ，军人阵亡。 铃星亦不喜与破军同度，主经商挫败，然而却喜经营带[挫折] 性的行业，如牙医、骨科、 拆船、拆车等。 凡火铃相夹，被夹的宫垣往往为人生最弱的一环，如夹财帛宫，主虽劳碌奔波而财气仍 弱，夹子女宫，主子息艰难。 火铃分居福德宫及命宫，主一生多起倒波折。分居命宫、夫妻宫，亦主柴米夫妻多起 跌，人生决难顺遂。 不喜为火铃相夹之正曜，为天机、天同、巨门、天相、天梁。亦不喜同度，易破格。 如[天机巨门] 在卯安命，巨门化禄，为[机巨同临格] 主富贵，火铃同度即仅主温食。 夫妻宫见火铃相会，主仓卒成婚。 火铃相会于命宫，主[功败垂成] ，经努力，则转为[功成垂败] 。武职者逢之，主立功勋。 女命见火铃，古人认为凌夫克子，人缘不足，性格刚强，尤以火星为甚，谓为内心狼 毒。此论仍应视命宫正曜星系而定，不可贸然推断。 福德宫见火铃，多内心暴躁，但二者仍有分别。火星主性刚，铃星主性烈。性刚故多火 爆脾气，性烈者则口虽不言，但却用行动来反抗现实。

Chapter 10
Auxiliary, Assistant Stars 佐 辅曜 The 4 Auxiliary Stars are : Status 天魁「Ti¯an Ku´ı」, Reputation 天钺「Ti¯an Yu`e」 Aide 左辅「Zuˇo F´ u」, Support 右弼「Yòu Bì」. The 4 Assisting Stars are : Literature 文昌「Wén Chāng 」, Eloquence 文曲「Wén Qu」 Treasurer 禄存「LùCún」, Celestial Horse 天马「Tiān Ma」. As their names suggest, these Stars are there to support and assist the Fourteen Major Stars. They are important, but never more important than the Major Stars. An analogy to be used here is to liken these Stars to a Manager’s Personal Assistant. With a good assistant who is there to help out, the Manager would be able to project his capability more effectively. For 2 people to have the same Major Stars in their Life Palace, how their lives turned out would depend on these auxiliary and assistant stars. They are the ones which make the difference.
10.1
Four Auxiliary Stars
10.1.1
左辅 右 弼 , Left and Right Deputies
左辅and 右弼are useful assistants to the major stars. Their presence facilitate progress. They are especially useful when associated with the 命宫/ 财昂宫/ 官禄宫courts. 左辅: 1. Firm. 2. Elegant. 3. Hardworking. 右弼: 1. Gentle. 237
CHAPTER 10. AUXILIARY, ASSISTANT STARS 佐辅曜
238 2. Romantic. 3. fun-loving.
左辅and 右弼bring wealth to the stars they affect. Without them achievement is difficult. These stars, coupled with other helpful stars doubles up the ease of achievement. As facilitators, in some courts, like marriage, it can bring problems. 右弼, especially can mean an outsider interfering with the relationship. 右弼when transformed by 化科, indicates someone coming to provide assistance.
10.2
天魁 and 天 钺- Angels
天魁and 天钺are like good fairies. They bring opportunities, beauty and elegance into the courts they affect. These stars do not have strong powers; too many negative influences can blur their effectiveness. 天魁and 天钺are more significant when they appear on the 10-year and 1-year cycle chart as flying stars. Their appearence mean opportunity and/or assistance from others. 天钺is the more “feminine” of the two. It is recognised as a Peach Blossom Star. It’s presence in the spouse sector/friends sector can mean a love interest coming your way.
10.3
Four Assistant Stars
10.3.1
文昌 and 文 曲
文昌is the star for gift with writing and expression. 文曲is the gift for eloquence.
10.3.2
禄存
禄存is the ultimate wealth provider. In the court it resides, it brings abundance of wealth and services. It enhances the properties of the stars in related courts. It is more fortunate if within the structure there is a transformation energy influence by 化禄. 禄存is always clipped by 擎羊and 陀罗. Hence, a transformation by 化忌in the court where 禄存resides dramatically affects its effectiveness. 禄存in a court with no major stars indicate self-centredness, and complacency. This is especially true in 命宫, 兄弟宫, 仆役宫, 父母宫, 子女宫. Individuals are too contented with themselves to do anything for progress. 禄存is best in the 官禄宫, 田宅宫, 财昂宫. 禄存in 疾厄宫may indicate obesity, tumours. 禄存encountering harmful stars makes things hectic.
10.3.3
天 马 - Heavenly Horse
天马is a flying horse. Its presence is confined to the corner Domains of 寅, 巳, 申and 亥. It’s presence mean movement and implies something is going to happen, eg. a trip, a change. Movement brings about recognition, prospects if structures are good.
10.4. 红鸾AND 天喜
239
Among harmful stars, it can mean a change for the worse. 天马is also a flying star. It re-appears on the Decade and Annual Cycle chart. These can indicate a change that is going to happen. Analyse the major stars in the same and related courts to the 天马. 天马facilitates the actions of the Major stars and makes things happen.
10.4
红鸾 and 天 喜
Hong Luan and Tian Xi are the best known stars for bringing romance. They are always position opposite each other. When the 10-year 命宫(sometimes 夫妻宫) moves to the court that resides either of the two stars, there is a likelihood of serious romances. It is inborn, and the person is prone at that period to “getting hitched”. 红鸾has a flavour of Romance, while Tian Xi is about celebrations and happiness. In other situations, this means celebrations in that aspect. 红鸾and 天喜are considered Peach Blossom Stars.
10.5
天刑 — Heavenly Justice
• is lonely, stern. • very disciplined, sometimes almost punishing. It is good if the major stars require this quality to stabilize their over care-free characters. • In the 命宫/ 官禄宫, a profession in law and order is suitable.
10.6
天姚

Whether the result is good or bad depends on the sector and the other stars, and timing. • in the 夫妻宫, it could result in broken relationships due to external love affairs. • In the 命宫, it reflects a romantic, flirtatious person. 文 昌：科甲之星，正统学术研究，文书， 文 曲：科甲之星，观察力敏锐，掌握各种技艺，善囗才，闻一知十，九流术士。 天姚星：精力充沛，桃花，情感丰富，情欲重。 天刑星：通仙佛界，六大神通，易犯官非，坐疾厄宫容易有开刀或是肢体刑伤的事件发生。 落哪一宫，哪一宫刑克重。 阴煞星：通鬼界，小孩容易受惊，落疾厄宫容易有疾病，如癌症、精神异常、附灵等等。落 哪一宫，哪一宫容易出事。 辅 弼：好朋友：接纳、容忍、包容、亲近、合作。 魁 钺：为科甲星，天魁为阳贵人，天钺为阴贵人，有气质、名气，聪明，秀丽，贵人。 火 铃：火热、火爆是火星；大胆持续是铃星。作事大胆，激烈。 擎 羊：属火金，化刑，为人机谋，狡诈，无中生有，有创意。

4 Transformation Stars 四 化曜 「化」by itself means transform, or to change into. In 《紫微斗数》context, it can also mean ’to enhance’. The 4 Transformation Stars 四化曜「S`ı Hu`a Y`ao 」’tag onto’ different stars every year, depending on the Heavenly Stem 天干「Ti¯an G¯an 」of the year. Nevertheless their individual characteristics DO NOT change. Instead, what changes are the effects of the Stars that they tag onto.
11.1
化禄
“Transforms into Revenue”also called Fortune, helps bring money, good luck and helpful people this is the best of the 4 transforming stars. 化禄brings in wealth and prosperity. In the courts that it sits in, luck is expected from that aspect of life. On the star it influence, it brings out the best of its character, enables it to be effective in achieving goals, building relationships and gaining wealth. 1. Metal element 2. Means “Transform into Riches” 3. Enhances the flow of fortune, riches, luck etc.
11.2
化权
“Transforms into Authority”also called Power, brings power and authority. 化权is the reenforcement energy. It strengthens the quality of the star power. In the courts that resides this transformation will be the aspect which the subject shines in. 1. Fire element 2. Means Transforms into Authority 3. Brings authority, power, supremacy, leadership etc. 243

11.3
化科
“Transforms into Reputation”also called Success, brings fame and name. 化科provides for good reputation and fame. The star that it transforms will be outstanding in its efficacy. The subject can draw benefit from it’s power to build a good reputation. 1. Wood element 2. Means Transform into Reputation 3. Brights fame, reputation, self-satisfaction etc.
11.4
化忌
“Transforms to Trouble”also called Cloud, is a very inauspicious star that transforms the star it is attached to negatively. For example, 巨门 with 化忌 can cause the subject to speak tactlessly - 巨门represents the mouth and 化忌brings trouble to the mouth, thus problems with speech. 化忌is a obstructive energy. It brings out the worst in the star it transforms. Normally people are sensitive to it since it has a tendency to undo all the good that had been built up.

易数先天卦数四九，五行属金，位在西，秋，阴土，福德主吉，示忙碌、收获、得利、 财禄、食禄、聪明才艺、不学而知的才艺、源头好。为缘起、代表财，禄藏财中，禄随忌 走。 ２．论化权： 易数先天卦数二七，五行属火，位在南，夏，炎上，势力，不服输，掌权争执，有才华 有成就，能干，力争上游是火的特性，好高爱面子，固执、挥霍、增值，外来伤害如跌、烫 伤，急病，生杀大权。 ３．论化科： 易数先天卦数三八，五行属木，位在东，春，阳木，是后天学而知之的学问，主博学一 学就会，于财示不多，宜企划作事有计划，主文墨、名声、好文书、消息信息。 ４．论化忌： 易数先天卦数一六，五行属水，位在北，冬，阳水，生年忌是业力，命宫干忌是自找 的，岁限干忌是运势。忌是示警告诫作用，示变动不安、转机、得失、自卑、六亲刑克、官 非、不顺、亏欠、无、死亡。化忌不一定不好，要看入于何宫何星何地何五行或庙陷才能定 其非也。 十干四化：（斗数断祸福的关键） 干化、化禄、化权、化科、化忌、 甲干、廉贞、破军、武曲、太阳、 乙干、天机、天梁、紫微、太阴、 丙干、天同、天机、文昌、廉贞、 丁干、太阴、天同、天机、巨门、 戊干、贪狼、太阴、右弼、天机、 已干、武曲、贪狼、天梁、文曲、 庚干、太阳、武曲、天阴、天同、 辛干、巨门、太阳、文曲、文昌、 壬干、天梁、紫微、左辅、武曲、 癸干、破军、巨门、太阴、贪狼、

飞星四化
紫微斗数四化分为：化禄、化权、化科、化忌。化禄代表春、化权代表夏、化科代表秋、化 忌代表冬，就如同天候四时变化。禄代表出生原因起头、权代表生长、科代表收成、忌代表 归藏原因结束。紫微斗数首重化禄与化忌，代表事情的起因及结果，但及四化的轨迹是有一 定的规则。 1、出入之别：紫微斗数共分十二宫，1命宫、2兄弟、3夫妻、4子女、5财帛、6疾厄、7迁 移、8奴、9官禄、10田宅、11福德、12父母，其中以1、5、9、10宫为生数宫，不可被化忌 所冲，被冲称为破体，忌代表归藏，若去冲生数宫，代表原本收藏归我所有，如今被冲就有 损失，又名”忌出”，若化忌入生数宫，代表收藏归我所有，又名”忌入”。 2、天人合一：紫微斗数四化有分大冲小及小冲大a大冲小本命盘四化冲大限盘，主一年 吉凶。大限盘四化冲流年盘，主一月吉凶。b小冲大大限盘四化冲本命盘，主十年吉凶。流 年盘四化冲大限盘，主一年吉凶。天地人三盘代表：本命盘为天、大限盘为地、流年盘为 人。所讲求吉凶变化，是要符合天人合一规则。例如本命官禄宫化忌冲大限官禄宫，这化忌 称为忌出，代表事业有所损失，这要等到流年走到忌冲的宫位，事情就会应验。本命盘为 天，流年盘为人，符合天人合一规则时，吉凶变化就会产生。又例大限财帛宫化忌冲本命田 宅宫，这化忌称为忌出，代表钱财有所损失，这要等到流年走到忌冲的宫位，事情就会应 验。变化例流年财帛宫化忌冲大限财帛宫，忌冲宫位为本命奴宫。代表钱财因朋友而损失。
11.6
甲干
甲干，廉贞化禄 廉贞属阴火，庙寅位，取木生火之意，而寅为甲之禄位，故甲以廉贞为化禄。廉贞为官 禄，因其属阴，故廉贞之官禄主属静态，代表营业状态，赚钱状态，当化禄入命宫、财帛、 官禄时，主做事顺利，有地位提升之象。廉贞又为次桃花，化禄入命宫或田宅，主有财且带 桃花，入六亲宫，主有异性缘，属暗桃花。廉贞乃权柄之星，命宫廉贞化禄者，主其人颇具 威权，且能得到朋友的助力及部属的爱戴，并有呈现持续性领导的机会，尤喜在申地坐官禄 宫，有帝王相，甲年生人，三奇照命，富贵堪期，必是一方之主。廉贞星坐命宫或身宫为次 桃花，惟不遇化禄，桃花之象较不明显，如果廉贞加会桃花星文昌、文曲、贪狼、天姚等自 又另当别论，大限、流年遇之，才以桃花论之。大限、流年遇廉贞化禄，过去所不能解决之 事，可望迎刃而解，会吉星，主有喜庆之事，未婚者可遇上理想对象，惟会遇煞星，虽感情 缠绵悱恻，亦不会有结果。廉贞为官禄主，有领袖欲，喜掌权，但生性顽强，常让人有气势 凌人的感觉，故人际关系虽努力推展，仍易受阻，化禄使其交际手腕更加灵活，又肯将钱花

在交际应酬上，可从而改善人际关系，事业也可因此而较易推展发挥。廉贞为次桃花含苞待 放，含蓄羞涩，主贞洁，化禄，使其心动，开启其桃花之情，入庙，正常感情得以顺利进 展，主清白能相守，此为正常之桃花，落陷，容易滋生感情困扰，婚姻波折难免，再加煞星 或其它桃花星，则呈现出泛水桃花之性，为不正常之桃花，用情不专，或沉溺酒色，或污名 失节，甚至婚姻破裂。 甲干，破军化权 破军属阴水，庙于子位，水乃木之长生位，故化权。破军化权，主驿马，乃多变迁、变 动之象，在本宫入庙，有环境变动的迹象，属于主动的去改变，能往好的方面去发展，陷 地，则其变动往往呈现不吉利之兆。破军化权虽主驿马，但以入寅申己亥四马之地，较能显 现驿马之作用。若入迁移宫，冲动命宫，主劳碌奔波。化权，属木，木为向四方放射之动 态，象征物向四方积极放射扩展之趋向，表示宇宙中万物具有生生不息之功能，故化权之 木，积极主动，进取奋发，而破军，五行为癸水，有渗透及滋润木之功能，水能生木，水本 为养木之源，而木本身又具有抽水作用，可抽取大量的水来涵养自己，使白已成长茁壮，因 此破军化权时，破军之癸水，可以掌握木之生与死的权柄，而木之积极主动，成长奋发，必 须消耗癸水，故有先败后成之意义，而化权之木，不断消耗癸水，使木身也可以不断的主动 扩展，故破军化权，属主动之变化。于财帛庙旺，主先去后来，结果还是财旺，陷地，则一 去无回。在事业宫，主动争取改变，庙旺，变得很好，落陷则失职，会有纠纷。破军属水， 水之五常主智，而化权属木，其有抽水吸水之作用，故破军化权时，可使本身潜在之聪明与 智慧，全部表露出来，而作充分而多方面的发挥，也使其全部之计划有所掌握，并作有规格 地变化改良，而取得权柄，正如破军之癸水，能够掌握木之滋润成长，故庙旺之时，其构想 光明正大，必能充分掌握，而得权柄，此种权柄可受人之尊重与赞美，落陷，则较不完善， 较有偏颇之现象，而受人指责及批评。破军，性刚暴，好强好争，化权时，更为强势，具有 无比之暴发．暴破力，庙旺，为英星入庙，武职峥嵘，投身军旅，屡建奇功，可为军中大 将，投资从商，创建有功，为大企业之开创人才，及拓展能手，陷地，则横发横破，多成 败，加煞而运限逢，事业不宜迁动扩展，更不可因从新行而弃旧业，谨防大破败。最忌在 申、酉地坐命化权，为人又臭又玻煌ㄇ槔恚婺*稍鳎杂锓ξ叮釉吨∪宋分? 在丑、午最吉，凡 事宜主动求变，变则有吉，为国之栋梁，军人可升将官。在未地最吉，因廉贞化禄在亥坐官 禄宫，武曲化科在卯坐财帛宫，三奇照会，会有突发之吉兆。在巳地，也属三奇，宜军职， 立功边疆，不喜昌曲同宫，屡试不第，一生贫寒，与四煞同宫，孤独，丢官罢职，与劫空同 宫，一生浪荡。破军化权在财帛宫，主偏财运强烈，能横发财富，并且花钱慷慨，有财来财 去之象。破军化权居夫妻宫，易有争执、干涉的情形发生，故不利夫妻宫，喜会合吉星以减 低争权的现象。破军化权入田宅宫，主整理或修缮居住环境。破军化权在子女宫，主子女较 不听话，反抗心强烈。破军化权入官禄宫，生意人主辛勤赚钱;公职人员主有升迁或变动职位 之兆。 甲干，武曲化科 化科，主科名、名声，而武曲为财星，故武曲化科，有财大家知道，财名显扬无比，神 气风光，知名度亦大为增加，但通常武曲化科，多仅是表面上增加光采而已，对于进财多 寡，实侃χ娌淮螅湎莞翘? 武曲化科，虽名多于利，但运限若三方加会禄存或化禄，则于财 能有真正帮助，可获利扬名，而名利双收。武曲化科，正如人之钱财露白，如三方又会照擎 羊或煞忌来冲，则会有损财之现象，运限逢之，不宜将钱财借人生利息，否则会因小而失 大。卯地，因武曲陷地苗而不秀，在酉地因化科陷地苗而不秀。武曲忌宫干坐壬，必有事业 破败或财富破败。财星化科，一生财运安稳，不致寅吃卯粮，化科的人，长相清秀。武曲为 正财星，但化科时并不主财，仅代表声望的提高，以服务金融界者佳，有升迁的机会，一般 人则名声显赫，生意人主赚平稳之财，公职人员则有清誉。武曲化科落财帛宫，主得财安 稳，有多余的钱存入银行或邮局，家庭主妇则可存私房钱。在巳或亥宫武曲化科与破军化权 同坐，主财得而复失，乃守财不牢之象，加遇煞星者，朋友借贷必有去无回，且财难聚。武 曲化科坐官禄宫者，宜服务于财经界，或军警职，能得令誉，事业有所成就，陷地则有财亦

无支配权（钱财由父母或妻子掌理），虚名而已。武曲化科在戌宫，则破军化权居子位，而 廉贞化禄坐午宫，皆得其位，若在金融界任职，可位居要津，但对宫为贪狼星，惟不发少年 人，必历尽艰辛始克有成，此格以廉贞与天相坐午位，甲年生人为上格，如坐子位者，则差 矣。 甲干，太阳化忌 太阳，本为动星，化忌，更为奔波劳碌，人生历程波折程度增加，坎坷艰辛，旺宫劳而 可成，陷地，多口舌足非，纷争困扰。太阳化忌，不利阳性近亲，年少时，父亲与官贵无 缘，女命，丈夫有灾疾，会煞多，生离死别。太阳化忌，凡事缺乏计划性，有时更会鲁莽行 事，往往会在不知不觉中惹来是非麻烦，徒增困扰。太阳化忌，不利眼目，落陷加煞，会有 眼疾，有失恋之悲，最忌坐迁移宫，坐命必劳碌，与父缘薄，陷地多口舌争纷，早年辛苦奔 波、劳碌，固执己见，自以为是，不听他人规劝，一意孤行。

乙干
天机化禄 天机为智能之星，擅长策划设计，庙旺化禄，所计划之事，可如愿达成，天机庙旺化 禄，利于事业之开创，或工作之变换，运逢天机化禄，庙旺加吉，升迁有望，如落陷又逢煞 聚，则职务调动，徒增忙碌而已，实侃Λ@益不多，天机化禄加天马，适合武市之生意，或 外务工作，或从事贸易。寅、申化禄，但此时又有太阴同宫，太阴化忌，禄忌同宫坐命，主 此人感情多波折，与母、妻女，有代沟或刑克。在子、午化禄，宜动不宜静，但子、午是化 禄的陷地，故主此人华而不实，虚有其表，乃称”破禄”。 天梁化权 天梁，为荫星，为老人星，历尽人生考验，阅历丰富，故多少难免会有点自负心态，化 权时，更是处处表现凡事皆经验十足，而办事较老成世故，但易令人有倚老卖老，老气横秋 的感觉。天梁化权，具有名士风度，及绅士之作风，本身具有自然之威严，如再会有吉星， 其职位临于风宪，即司弹劾、监督的职责，或与刑法、纪律有关之行业。天梁，主清贵，而 不主富，故庙旺化权，加左右，官资清显，但易流于尖酸苛刻。天梁化权，鸡婆性，主动排 纷解难，果断能力较强，但较易流于专权、霸道、自负，使人有难以接近，或较难与之和睦 相处之感慨。天梁化权自视甚高，孤芳自赏，与人寡合，不信他人之言，尤忌命坐沐浴，最 忌在酉地，怀才不遇，满腹牢骚，为人又臭又硬，孤独。在巳地，必受人白眼以报，最喜在 午地，惟不宜锋芒过露，可善意指点他人过错，勿蓄意揭人隐私，在辰地，最喜文曲同宫， 夺魁天下。 紫微化科 化科，主科名、名声、知名度，及贵人、助力，且紫微本为尊星，故紫微化科很风光， 很有面子，名声响亮，名扬四海，到处受人欢迎，事业推展顺遂，在职人员运限逢之，易升 迁。化科，主多才多艺，又紫微星高居尊位，故紫微化科，才艺出众，技冠群雄，有特殊表 现，获得掌声最多，更主真才实学，而实至名归，绝非浪得虚名。紫微化科，利于往文艺界 及学术界发展，能够崭露头角，甚至大放异彩，建立权威，而成为有独特见解及特异表现， 且声誉俱佳的专家学者，故紫微化科才华洋溢，讲话有份量，会受到别人的欣赏和支持，而 得以充分发挥，因此，紫微化科在所有化科中，乃最佳者，且获益较多。紫微化科，为人好 面子，惜缺乏主张，耳软、好高、自大、自私、偏心，故心中存有「爱之欲其生，恶之欲其 死」的偏激心理，但化科主声誉颇佳，也不会孤独，脾气、风度都很好。申地坐命化科，不 吉，因被天机化禄、太阴化忌相夹，禄忌相夹之命，心中酸楚无人知。 太阴化忌 太阴，属阴水，本具阴柔之个性，又逢化忌，则做事缺乏魄力，且猜忌心重，常有朝三 暮四，举棋不定之现象。太阴，为阴水，主静，主收敛，有拖泥带水之现象，化忌则易有长

时间内心苦闷之精神折磨，如又落陷，再逢阴煞……等星曜，易患精神分裂症，此时应多礼 佛拜神，行善事，以祈心灵平静，则可安然无恙。太阴，为水之精，化忌，五行又属水，凡 水皆与桃花有关，故太阴化忌，必有感情之困扰，落陷，逢煞聚，会有因感情不如意，而想 不开殉情之倾向，无吉来扶，自杀身亡，须有禄马左右来救，方可获救重生，化险为夷。太 阴，主刀笔之光，如落陷又化忌，易流于花酒文章（桃花），阴谋权术之辈，邪淫难免。太 阴落陷化忌在身宫，且又为本命之迁移宫时，再逢煞来冲，主随娘继拜，或离祖过房，否则 刑克难免，带有此命格者，出生之时，宜拜神明或认义父母，可减轻刑克。太阴、太阳庙旺 时，有旺宫不忌之现象，故不怕化忌来扰（此为变景），陷地，母系亲人较易患疾或受伤 害，或有刑克之现象。

丙干
天同化禄 天同，为福星，本为吉祥之宿，化禄，形成福、禄聚，吉不可言，无煞入，可安亨而长 寿命，平生无奇志喜悠闲、平静的生活，故于人生历程较缺乏进取开创的精神，女命虽面貌 皎好人绿佳，但容易滋生感情困扰，美中不足。天同福星化禄，于幼年时，可得长辈之照 顾，而多吃喝玩乐，老年时，可得子女之孝敬奉养，而尽情游山玩水，或得天伦之乐，安耳 晚年，再有吉星来扶，可得祖先遗留下来的财产。巳地化禄，加天马禄存，为帝后命，尤喜 酉时生人，文昌在丑地化科，出世荣华，这是世袭皇帝，或太平皇帝，女命贵为皇后。 天机化权 天机属木，木本有生发向外扩展之意，再加化权，更为积极主动，气势磅，适合外出创 业，在家反多争执困扰。天机是一颗智慧之星，有谋略，口才佳，外交手腕不错，化权可助 长其策划、交际能力，大大提高其领导与管理才能，但辛劳难免。天机化权，在职人员，行 限逢之会主动争取升迁调职，旺地逢禄马来助，可以如愿，但如陷地加煞，白忙一场，或纵 使能得到升调，亦不尽理想。天机化权，从商做生意之人遇之，会有主动积极扩大投资、扩 大营业之迹象，至于结果好坏，则须参酌其所会照星曜之好坏而定之。天机化权，学术研究 人员或发明家，会不眠不休地投入其研究工作，虽辛勤但多会有所收获。子地、酉地坐命化 权，又臭又硬，有离婚之兆。午坐命化权，凡事宜主动争取，凡事宜积极，常有迁移、调 动。最忌宫干坐戊，一生勤劳仍然未能如愿以偿，如灯下苦读，依然名落孙山，四煞同宫， 丢官罢职或倒店，若与火星同宫，脑中风，切忌好高骛远或见异思迁。 文昌化科 文昌为科甲之宿，主聪明，受人赏识，名声好、有文艺才华，眉清目秀，而化科，主功 明、声名，故文昌化科时，更是聪颖过人，才华洋溢而声名显扬，庙旺，其有真才实学，加 吉有机会一展长才，且声誉俱佳，可实至名归。独守，空有才华，难得展现，易有怀才不遇 之叹，落陷，虚名而已，加煞冲照，易流于自私自利，权谋术士。化科属水代表智慧，科亦 有分门别类之含意，及有系统之分析与计划，且化科如古代之科举（科甲），故有代表功名 及声誉之作用。文昌属正途之文名，亦代表法律，且五行属辛金，金之收缩及凝固之力很 强，故文昌化科，能将本身之智慧凝结归纳，而充分发挥出来，且可将理想及计划，循正当 途径，以正当手段，高度地发挥，且可得到大众之认同，而扬名，落陷加煞，易流于邪门， 而产生法律上之重重问题。喜在巳地、丑地化科，但不喜宫干坐辛，亦不喜在酉地化科，苗 而不秀。 廉贞化忌 廉贞五行属阴火，本较晦暗、阴狠，且又为囚星，本即不吉而化忌，主是非、多咎，且 化忌五行属水，故廉贞化忌，水火相克，加重其害，变成解不开之死结，所谋多不顺遂，遇 事烦扰而纷乱无章，运限逢之有怀才不遇之感叹。廉贞化忌逢擎羊，易有金钱纠葛不清之现 象，或因周转不灵而心绪纷乱，及廉贞在迁移宫时，遇化忌又逢擎羊、天马、白虎、天刑来

冲克，则有半路埋尸之凶象，应尽量避免外出，或外出时应谨慎小心，不宜开快车，则可化 险为夷，运限逢之，应多行善，早晚烧香礼佛诵经，以祈平安。廉贞为次桃花，又为囚星， 故廉贞化忌有如心结深锁难开，主感情与情绪方面，多波动困扰，如逢其它桃花星及煞星来 冲，则因色犯刑，若再落陷，则成解不开之结，易有牢狱之灾。廉贞化忌入田宅宫，夫妻感 情多困扰，房屋有漏水之现象，且财不聚，宜种植兰花或可解。行限遇廉贞化忌有官司、桃 花、烦恼、车祸，在已亥，大凶，廉贞主品秩与权令，化忌则品秩大乱，权令不行，故会发 生很多麻烦，政令不能推行，下达命令，无人遵守。

太阴化禄 太阴主富、主藏而化禄主财禄，故太阴化禄，主锦上添花，财源收入顺遂如意，且精神 及物质满足。太阴日夜不停之运转，其运转为循环性可与外国从事生意之往来，有钱可赚并 可得到好的声名。太阴为田宅主，主财富，故太阴化禄时，主家庭圆满和谐，且会有购置房 地产之迹象，女命可使本身更加柔美动人，人缘更佳，男命则可增加对异性之吸引力。太阴 化禄在庙旺，即戍、子、亥，凡事吉利，凡事体面，心境愉快，乐观，有丰富享受，但在落 陷之地，既卯、辰、已、午，称”破禄”。子地与天同同宫，此时天同化权，太阴化禄，无 论坐命、财、官、迁，均以富贵论之。寅、申与天机同宫，此时天机化科，科禄同宫，为人 随和，讲道理，不会摆官架、打官腔，是个好长官，而且富贵堪期，最喜坐命、官、财，三 奇照命，可当立法委员、国大代表……。 天同化权 天同为福星，喜爱清闲，而不喜竞争，故冲劲不足，化权强势之星，正可矫正其缺点， 使其奋发向上，而在事业上求取隐定的发展。天同属水，主智，主聪明，而化权属木，主生 发，向外扩展，且有积极主动的精神，故天同化权，在事业上较能主动去争取实绩，且会有 卓越的表现，至于成功与否，须视所会星辰之吉凶而定。大同化权，行事有点固执，且会去 争取超越本身职务之权，时有越权之举动，而惹来一些是非，此是非皆属于背后被批评之是 非。丑、未、午化权，虚有其表，凡事心有余而力不足。巳、亥、子、申、寅，主在动乱之 中仍有安宁，意既不是劳碌奔波之命，但不喜与四煞同宫，会丢官罢职，且有残疾、孤克。 天同化权，主有好的转机或机缘凑巧，而升主管或有开创精神，但却不宜独力自创，宜合伙 或幕后策划。 天机化科 天机本为智慧之星，再加化科，则如虎添翼，主人头脑灵敏，有奇想，有谋略，并可建 立声名，声威远播，可呈现好的计划与蓝图，并可获得别人的欣赏和支持，而顺心遂意地运 用出来，理想得以实现，并载誉而归，亦为实至名归之典型。天机化科，创业投资做生意， 可在商界声名大噪，扬名立万，是否真正的赚到钱，是另外一回事。天机化科，从事学术研 究者，庙旺有独到见解，可获得别人的认同和赞赏，可以成名于世，但如落陷，则偏重理 论，往往忽略了实用性，故可为理论家，但多不切实际。天机化科，于陷地，多空想，心中 常盘算计划，但多止于计划草拟阶段，而不能付诸实现，故可为讲师、名嘴、评论家，而难 为实践家。丑、未，因天机落陷，化科在丑地庙旺，但因天机本身太弱，秀而不实。寅、申 两地，此时太阴化禄、天同化权，富贵堪期，坐财、官同论。子、午，以在午地较吉，最喜 在辰地坐命，三奇照会白手起家，θf富翁。 巨门化忌 巨门五行属水，化气为暗晦，巨门为沟渠之水，一切皆依管道而行，而化忌主是非多 咎，故巨门化忌时，往往会坚持已见，而执着不悟，常易引起是非、官讼，且事后常有后遗 症，而备受困扰，因巨门属水，化忌五行亦属水，且巨门为沟渠之水，较脏，所流过之处， 必留有痕迹，故事情发生过后，总是或多或少会留下些许后遗症。巨门属阴水，化气为暗，

而化忌，又主是非耗损，故巨门化忌，会意外损财，并往往损得糊里胡涂，不明不白，且事 后多认为损失非己所愿，而心有不甘，因而容易引发口舌是非，纷争困扰，加铃星，常有对 簿公堂之现象，并因诉讼而增加开支，陷地，逢煞曜冲照，更主困败诉而蒙受钱财与精神双 重损失。巨门本为是非之宿，化忌亦主是非多咎，更加重其害，故巨门化忌，主常遇小人， 口舌纷争，是非纠缠，工作上易于与上司、同事意见相左，徒增口舌是非，落陷，更主因受 人牵累、诈欺、反叛或恶性竞争等而损财损名，甚至破败，旺地，虽败中有救，但亦波折不 顺，劳碌难免，门化忌，虽是非波折重重，但可投身*嘴讲话谋生的行业，以求化解，或减 轻其害。巨门化忌在夫妻宫，落陷，遇天刑、天姚，主与配偶争端难免，或有一身体欠佳， 宜养鸟或床铺位置择在好方位亦可，可使夫妻之情感更和谐。巨门化忌入疾厄宫，加铃星、 文曲、阴煞……等星曜，易有犯阴及不知名之病症，或因果病，宜藉道力、法力、神明之 力，以祈化解，或请法师消灾祈福，可臻平安。巨门陷地化忌(戍地)最凶，常惹意外官司、 口舌，杞人忧天，或说话不得体，以致得罪对方，做事魄力不够，优柔寡断，以致坐失良 机。天刑同宫，官司不免，在丑未坐命，一生感情不利在辰、戍坐命，常惹上莫名其妙的是 非与官司。

贪狼化禄 贪狼为才艺之星，有才艺天赋或基础，化禄时，才艺出众，但陷地加煞，无吉扶不免发 展受挫，而怀才不遇、孤芳自赏，旺地加紫微同度，会六吉具有真才实艺，并可得好机会发 挥，而一展长才，女命擅长女红，持家有方，可将家事料理得有条不紊，井井有序，但如无 火铃、天刑、空劫来会，则易生感情之困扰。贪狼化禄与火铃及左右之一同宫，可增加财源 收入，往往有意外偏财或横财之现象，如仅与火铃同宫，而无左右，但会空劫为小偏财，如 有偏财或横财收入时，应迅即购置不动产，或以部分金钱救急济贫，及时为善后福无穷，否 则来财不聚，必将有所损耗，甚或乐极生悲。贪狼本为多才多艺之星，又为桃花星，又主食 禄、偏财，化禄庙旺，则在社会上风头很健，交游广阔，而花费甚巨，往来之友多为离乡背 井，出外谋求发展之生意人，或与财经有关之官员，但此亦须视格局之高低而定之，落陷 时，常不走正途，而喜走邪门之交际，而流连酒色财气之乡。贪狼化禄一生多艳遇，一生喜 酒色财气，多应酬，最忌与羊、陀同宫，因色惹祸，最喜与火、铃同宫，有突发主兆，化禄 只在四马之地为吉利，惜贪狼在四马之地不得地。 太阴化权 太阴属阴水，又主静，原本处事过于阴柔温和，不够强势，故有点拖拉，且不够积极之 现象，而化权有主动进取、积极奋发之精神，故太阴最喜遇化权来助正可刚柔并济，使其更 力求上进，又主动积极，做事更易成功。太阴化权属暗权，为辅助性之权利，女命得之，可 间接影响先生的决策。太阴化权，遇上天机化忌，会增加家务纠纷，出外不顺，为美中不 足。子地化权，有天同同宫，脾气不致暴躁，能自找人生乐趣，为人乐亲。卯、辰、已、午 不以吉论之，劳碌奔波，称”破权”。忌与四煞同宫，忌太阴宫干坐乙。太阴主田宅，化权 可投资不动产，会赚钱。 右弼化科 右弼癸水，化科亦属水，水之五常主智，且水又主动，故右弼之化科，虽可得贵助，但 较不实在，又凡水皆与桃花有关，故右弼化科，常有崇拜或暗恋某些特殊人物为其偶像之现 象。右弼为癸水，化科亦属水，水为流动性，但皆有拖泥带水之现象，水之五常，主智，故 右弼化科，为水上加水，等于智慧加智慧，右弼又主贵人星，乃可得贵人之暗助，但因智慧 太高超，因而不可有太过分之要求，如此则可发挥高超之智能，而经有系统之计划分析后， 应用机会接近贵人，而得贵人之助，庙旺时，可得志，落陷时，所立之计划较偏于重利，缺 乏公道，而不太理想，加煞，恐多是非纠纷，而产生后遗症，如水之拖泥带水。右弼化科有

武曲化禄 武曲，属金，化气为财，是一颗正财星，来财方式是以正当手段去争取而来，故武曲虽 有财可得，但较为辛苦劳碌，化禄可以减轻其辛劳的程度，使其入财更为容易，得财也更 多。武曲本为财星，而化禄亦主财，故武曲化禄，财源丰沛，武职经商最适宜，武曲财星， 喜见化禄，乃为锦上添花，吉自不待言，但天干己武曲化禄，必会出现文曲化忌，没会到还 好，如见文曲化忌三方冲会，或同躔则吉处藏凶，成中有败，来财难全留，必会有所损耗， 有时损耗程度甚至超过来财，形成透支之现象，相当恼人，尤其经商投资之人，进出或盈亏 金额较巨，见武曲化禄时，先别高兴得过早，务必特别检视命盘中，有无同时会见文曲化 忌，小心文曲化忌之为害。武曲化禄，会见文曲化忌，吉中有凶，遇此情况，解厄辅救之 道，在进财或赚钱之后，未见耗损之前，赶紧投资购置不动产，尚可有实力可保。武曲化 禄，此时贪狼化权，这是最吉的组合，此人(无论武曲坐何宫何地)必熬到苦尽甘来，自然一 番风光。武曲化禄经商较吉，是个天才，手腕好人缘佳，左右逢源，凡事得心应手，不可睹 钱，应将全付精神赚钱，也应避免酒、色诱惑。 贪狼化权 贪狼，为欲望之宿，事业心本重，化权时，更是野心勃勃，且主动出系，常持，马无野 草不肥，人无横财不富，之投机心态，喜作风险大、利润高之大投资，如买空真空、买卖股 票、期货、投资公司、赌博、娱乐事业，或其它投机性事业等，庙旺加吉，终有收获，落陷 须打折扣，再加煞则横生枝节，多成败。贪狼本就具有占有欲强之特性，及领导欲望和才 能，入庙化权时，可增加其竞争之力量，若又逢左、右、火、铃，及化禄或禄马来助，有如 甘霖之于旱地，可脱颖而出，可使其利于政界之特性，转变为往商界发展，或可藉由工商界 之成就，转入政界发迹，亦利于武职峥嵘显耀，但落陷时，所求较难顺遂，且多偏失。贪狼 化权好客，挥霍无度，尤喜花钱玩女人，一掷千金，毫不吝啬，最喜与武曲同宫，先贫后 富，必有出息，因贪狼化权、武曲化禄，不论坐命、迁、官、财，必成富翁，但不喜与羊、 陀同宫，因色惹祸，或因贪小利而丢尽面子。 天梁化科 天梁，五行属戊土，为阳士，为凸显之士，为高山或高岗之土，化科时，可使名声达到 最高峰，但高山之土，因其过高，反有不够紧密结实，山有松软易崩塌之缺点，故天梁化 科，虽可使事业与声名达到相当风光之程度，庙旺时，更能使事业杰出与顺利发展，受人赞 美，声名远扬，但不宜锋头太露，如落陷其名较虚夸不实，三方加逢文曲化忌，辛劳而少 成，或易有文书契约及异途之无谓是非。天梁，五行为戊土，为高山之土;高山之土，非一日 可形成，故具有历史性，天梁，又为荫星，逢凶解厄，代表天之施济，而化科，属水，五常 主智，且水带有输送流通之性侃Γ?渗透力亦强，故天梁化科时，其构想、计划及理论，可

得天独厚，较能将潜力充分发挥出来，其成就亦具有历史性的意义，而其声名得化科之水的 运送流通，更能名气大噪，而远近驰名，庙旺，更会受人赞赏及支持，亨有万全声名，声威 远播，而留芳万世，但落陷时，其构想、计划及理论，不免缺乏施济、怜悯之心，而偏于重 利轻义，且其构想之事，亦不尽完美理想，易有瑕疵，加煞，带有邪淫之气，更为不佳，如 煞多，加逢忌星冲照，往往理论偏颇，邪淫过重，为众识破，而遭排斥，甚至唾弃，此时， 应修身养性，参道礼佛，以端正本身之欲念，则可怯除邪淫之气。天梁化科最喜化科，尤宜 学习哲学、医学、长寿术。 文曲化忌 文曲属水，水之五常主智，为异途功名，而化忌亦属水，为耗损、不完全、是非、暗 晦，故文曲化忌，是为水上加水、智上加智，其人有一种异途之智慧，庙旺时，乃向科学上 不可能之界限挑战，虽有剥削、困难及是非之意存在，但如逢吉星时，仍可得到完整之构 想，落陷时则多是非、不理想，不中道，加煞时，会流于剥削不义之举，有欺骗之行为构 想。文曲口才不错，能侃侃而谈，言之有物，化忌时，常因逞口舌而多是非，庙旺虽有是 非，但到最后仍可以解决，落陷，是非争执较难排解，困扰重重，加煞时，恐有官非。文曲 化忌言多必失，祸从口出，文书错误，交通被罚金，名誉有损，不宜深造，在午、戍、寅化 忌，喜吹牛，不受人欢迎，易生雀斑，不可赌钱，包输。

太阳化禄 太阳为光明之宿，主博爱、大方、慷慨，故太阳化禄，来财难全留，必有部分损耗，因 大阳主贵不主财，化禄，增贵显荣而已，于财效益不大。太阳落陷，为失辉，辛苦奋斗，劳 碌难免，化禄可减轻其辛劳程受，但逢煞冲破，化禄无用。太阳化禄，事业上声名不错，但 落陷时，仅为风光一度，难持久，或虚名而已，行限遇太阳化禄，事业上努力求取财禄，且 有增资扩展的趋势，可名利双收，但辛劳不免。太阳化禄为人有威严，声望好，尤喜在庙 旺，在丑、未与太阴同宫亦佳，因此时太阴化科，无论坐命、财、官、迁，均主富贵，但此 时最忌羊刃、陀罗、火、铃同宫。 武曲化权 武曲属金金之五常主义，义代表义气、气魄，且武曲又名将星，故武曲化权，能掌实 权，做事有魄力，冲劲十足，为出色之干才，亦为理想之实践家，权柄在握，宜武职峥嵘， 加吉得垣，威名显赫，落陷，凡事不宜过于刚毅自恃，以免沦于孤独之境地。武曲属金，坚 毅果决，有干劲，化权更增实力，掌实权，卯足全力，在事业上大刀阔斧的发挥，故武曲化 权，会在事业上极力开创扩展，表现相当杰出，且能有实际成果呈现，尤其利于武职，可一 展长才，如投身军旅或警界，功积彪炳，贡献卓著，若从商创业，开创有功，利禄随之，或 出任财经要职，掌管会计、出纳等工作，亦可表现出色，而称职遂心。武曲为财星，再化 权，可增加得财的力量，且会有想要获取更多更大财物的欲望，因此，如三方会照禄马或化 禄，则可使财来得更快更稳且更多。武曲化权宜当军警，或掌财经，主观太强，欲望很高， 凡事很不容易满足最忌有劫空同宫，必破产，与羊、陀同宫，配偶不利，一生孤独。武曲最 喜化权，无往不利，有动皆吉，果断，做事连战速决，不拖泥带水，个性干脆，一诺千金， 忌坐宫干壬，名美财虚。 太阴化科 太阴五行属水，水之五常主智，故太阴有刀笔之光，而化科，主才华洋溢，主功名，故 太阴化科，偏重于才华之表现与名气之增加，如再遇三台八座，更可扩张知名度，庚年生 人，较具有内涵，为真才实学，其表现亦为实至名归，但癸年生人，其才华往往较浮夸不 实，或只是短暂突发性之才华，一幌即过，故其知名度较不能持久，或仅得虚名而已。太阴 化科，有昌曲同度，或会照，或夹持时，必然聪慧过人，文章出众，博学多能且声誉佳，名

气远扬，但太阴落陷化科，逢化忌，加遇火铃同度，反主恶名昭彰。太阴庙旺化科才算有益 有利，陷地化科，称”破科”，辛苦有成绩。太阴化科利于学术研究，令吾人风度、修养， 均有帮助，故在庙地化科此人必是风度好、有修养，对人不会恶言相向，或给他人颜色看 看。 天同化忌 天同为福星，有解厄之力量，故不伯化忌之为害，受化忌之冲击影响较小，尤其天同入 庙时，化忌对其影响的程度，更是微不足道，但若落陷加煞，则受害较大。天同化忌较易有 感情方面之困扰，落陷更为明显。

巨门化禄 巨门代表口，主口舌，化禄时，擅于言词，说话很甜很好听，讲起话来，头头是道，容 易为别人所接受，具有煽惑性，不但言甜词利，能说善道，且亦广结人绿故巨门化禄，亦可 因口而生财，庙旺动口有财，加吉得财不费吹嘘之力，但落陷时，得财费力，往往须历经竞 争或费尽一番唇舌，方能进财，且亦未必尽如人意。巨门化禄口才佳，人缘广，而可因口生 财之特性，故特利于靠嘴巴谋生之行业，常人可从事门市店员、业务营销、中介、歌唱演 艺、大众传播等工作，亦可当名嘴、演说家、评论家、老师、教授、布道家、星相学家等相 关行业，甚或可从事法官、律师、医师、民意代表等，因此巨门化禄，基本上虽皆适宜依口 生财之职业，但其选择之层次与发展之程度，则须视命格之高低而定。巨门主口舌竞争，且 非真正财星，故欲得财，必先历经是非波折及一番竞争，故得财辛苦费力，且来财有限，化 禄时，可减轻其辛劳程度，且可使来财更大更多。巨门非财星，亦主兢争、好动，故化禄 时，虽亦主进财不小，但较难全部积留，往往部分另作他用，常人得之，时有食禄宴客之花 费，经商者，多广告之开销，陷地，又逢煞忌冲，慎防因争执诉讼，而花费巨款。巨门化禄 必有文曲化科、文昌化忌，但不一定相遇会照，巨门化禄，如只会文曲化科，而不见文昌化 忌，主口齿伶俐又善辩，进财不小，且可打响知名度，宜往政界、文教界、五术界、歌唱演 艺圈等方面发展，但若遇文昌化忌，则是非困扰难免，须防文书契约方面出问题，受累吃 亏，落陷更易因作保、签章、帐务、债务等问题来吃暗亏、损钱财，而心有不甘。巨门化禄 在庙旺之地，主有口福，名利双收，最忌与羊、陀同宫，为破局，主喜闹同性恋，有感情纠 纷。 太阳化权 太阳为官禄主，有权、有威仪，加化权，主握有实权，想要有一番作为，故在职人员会 展露才华，志在升迁，或任职不久，改行换业，另谋出路，或自行创业，争取出头的机会。 太阳如入官禄宫，为归正位，化权成就辉煌，财旺名气也响叮当，别人亦对其羡慕钦仰。太 阳化权雄心万丈，利于武职从商，可财名兼得，旺地逢煞，略有波折，或增其劳碌而已，不 阻其积极扩展之锐气，无妨大体。太阳本为热能星座，阳光普照，且化权属木，木能生火， 更助其光芒四射之威力，故其人有令人不威而畏、不寒而栗之自然威仪，而其所言受人拥护 支持，所谋顺心遂意，但是易流刚愎自用，运限逢之，禄马凑，官人威权显赫，不可一世， 落陷善谋权术。太阳化权在庙旺，卯、辰、已、午化权，受人钦仰，威风八面，为人有威 仪、正派，惜刚愎自用主观太强，在陷地，戍、亥、子，自卑感太重，但表面上仍装出很有 尊严，最忌在子地化权，胸无实学，又装出饱学之态，为人又臭又硬。 文曲化科 文曲主科甲，但为异途功名（非仕途之功名，或为其它特殊之功名，如荣任某工会理事 长、某学会理事长等），故文学、艺术才华，双双出众，化科时，更使才艺出类拔萃，并享 有盛名，庙旺才华受人肯定及支持，并可因而人为发挥，落陷则虚有其表，浪得虚名而已。 文曲化科多才多艺，能干，名声好，有文艺天赋，风流才子，一生多艳遇，一生多酒色，在

《 天梁化禄 》天梁为荫星、老人星，有喜当老大之心态，化禄时，会有自己想当老的 望，而常自己运用钱财去经商，但天梁化禄，除适合与公家机关有生意往来，利于帑藏之财 外，一般之经商并不十分适宜，常须历经艰危，而多成败，因天梁为逢凶化吉之星，欲化 吉，必先逢凶，才能显现其化吉之力量，故天梁虽可化吉，但亦为多凶险之星，经商必见凶 险重重，波折劳碌，但可逢凶化吉，化禄时，使人更有想要投资之望及行动，庙旺时仅是凶 险波折而已，乃可化险为夷，且天梁又为荫人之星，欲荫人，助人，必先付出，故天梁化 禄，亦主散财，但多为善之散财，落陷，再逢煞忌冲照，常会有所损失，以致破败，煞多， 更因亏损破败，而负债累累，形成债台高筑之现象，无吉来扶，损失惨重，使人有难以ι皆 倨鸬母杏X，此时不可与人投资创业。天梁化气为荫，可荫人助人，使人不劳而，故天梁属 意外之财，化禄时，更加明显，来财也更大，但天梁清高，不喜见化禄，化禄时，虽可得意 外馈赠，但同时亦欠下人情，别人多有所请，自己不好意思拒绝，反会带来困扰。天梁主清 贵，而不主富，故天梁多空有助人之心，而无助人之力，但化禄时，可增强其助人之潜力， 因此天梁化禄时，再遇仁慈之星，其人深具善根，与仙道神佛有绿，但心地过于慈善，性喜 助人，且不惜慷慨解囊，济困救危，但若落陷，再逢煞星冲照，易有（抱私财益他人）之现 象，而造成本身之困扰。天梁化禄在已、亥、申、酉，化禄反凶，称”破禄”，在庙旺之 地，子、午、辰、戍、寅、卯，有超然特殊地位，易有惊险之事发生，但天梁有化解之功， 宜学习五术。天梁化禄若公务员，勿收人红包。 《 紫微化权 》紫微为帝座，本具权威性，再化权时，乃是权上加权，故作为难免偏 于霸气霸道，此时若不会左右，行事常专权独断，刚愎自用，而不能察纳雅言，从善如流， 以致处理事情，有时会作出偏差错误的决断，而蒙受钜大的损失，又壬干紫微化权，三方必 然会见武曲化忌，因此在钱财运用上，常一意孤行，过于自信、任性，甚至鲁莽地将财产作 孤注一掷的投资，导致后来发生财务困难，而转不灵，或与人有金钱纠纷的现象，再加擎 羊，甚或有因财持刀之可能。紫微化权须有左辅或右弼同宫，才算有威有福，否则，孤独， 自鸣得意，尤忌在子地化权，又臭又硬，离婚之兆。紫微化权最喜在已、亥(已地尤吉)，有 权有势，可娶一位贤淑又得力的太太，女命可为女强人，但只宜偏房，丙年及戊年生人，禄 存同宫，英雄人物，与羊、陀同宫，反成小人，或心术不正，（羊刃同宫，因产兴讼，羊刃 对宫，有理想，有抱负，惜未能实现）。 《 左辅化科 》壬干使左辅之戊土化科，因壬水，为阳水，水势汹涌，万物有被流合 冲失之现象，但左辅，为戊土，为阳土，为高山之土，唯有左辅之戊土，才能制壬水，故左 辅化科，乃为万物之救星，亦既贵人星。左辅为阳土，为显现、高突之物，故主文明，亦为 明显之贵人，且有卓越之才干，可得较高贵，实在之贵人来相助、提拔，而运用本身之智 慧，经有系统之分析、计划及应用，使其得因贵人之助，凡事显得十全十美，有锦上添花之 美，落陷则计划皆不尽理想，分析之资料不够完整，使贵人之助力，不能与本身之开创力相 配合，而减半，逢煞更差。

《 破军化禄 》破军属水，水之五常主智，凡水皆与桃花有关，故破军化禄时，其人虽天 资聪颖但惜破军化禄，三方必见贪狼化忌，庙旺之地，尚可，如落陷，又逢其他桃花星及煞 星来冲，会有聪明一世，煳涂一时，导致因色破财之现象。破军之水，为大海水，其波动性 甚大，事业上成败起伏大而不隐，而化禄，属土，土较厚重保守，且可水，正可减轻其波动 性，故破军喜见化禄，可减少事业之波折、动，而增加事业之稳定性，庙旺之时，身心愉 快，可得精神之安宁，落陷之时，身心不平衡，心神不宁，较易判断错误，而多成败。 破军化气曰耗，是为波动之星，而破军三方必会见七杀、贪狼，皆属于变动之星，故行 运逢之，较有冲劲，因此，破军化禄，在庙旺之地，可由旧事业中另生新机，或有兼业兼职 之现象，较易从事大规模之投资，且较具有开创性，如庙旺会吉，将是好的变动，若落陷 时，横发横破，亦沉迷酒色，而身败名裂。破军化禄在子、午两地化禄最吉，寅、申两地亦 佳，会有突然或意外的高调荣升机会。经商(宜超级市场或市场生意)会赚钱。破军坐夫妻宫 不吉，会离婚，但若有化禄，有破镜重圆的机会。 《 巨门化权 》天同，为福星，本为吉祥之宿，化禄，形成福、禄聚，吉不可言，无 煞入，可安亨而长寿命，平生无奇,志喜悠、平静的生活，故于人生历程较缺乏进取开创的精 神，女命虽面貌皎好人绿佳，但容易滋生感情困扰，美中不足。巨门主口舌争辩，竞争、好 动，而化权，又主奋发、扩展、好掌权，故且门化权助长其竞争性，增强其活动力，凡事进 取而野心大，更喜争强好胜，事业上，创建拓展。屡树奇功，表现不凡，但多争强出头，往 往会因风头过健而遭嫉，受人排挤，或与人是非争执，致使人际关受损，与上司、部属、同 事或同行之关不够和谐圆满，故无论工作之进行，或业务之推展，皆时有阻力出现，而波折 不断，因此，巨门化权，虽可成功立业，但亦必历尽艰辛，受尽波折，方得有成。巨门主口 舌，本具表达能力，化权更能发挥语言之凌厉威力，而使说话更其说服力，及树立权威性， 因此巨门化权，特别适合外交家、法官、律师、民意代表等职业。男命夫妻宫，不喜巨门化 权，因巨门主竞争，又主是非，太太魄力有馀，而温柔不足，丈夫面前，喜争强出头，而多 是非争执，导致磨擦冲突，严重影响夫妻和谐，夫妻不宜同一事业，或同一工作环境，应各 自分头发展为佳，可以改善夫妻关。巨门化权口才好，说话有力量，令人心服口服，当老 师、教官、外交、外务……最佳，能圆满达成任务，但说话时当看场面，不宜争吵，不可因 面子问题而与人互不相让，小地方吃亏，没有关，让人一点也无妨，只要在大场面上，能达 成任务就好。巨门最喜化权，登高一呼，四山响应，金口一开，诸事如意，说话算数，而对 方必奉如圣旨。巨门化权最忌坐宫干丁，有煞同宫，丢官罢职，与羊、陀同宫，喜同性恋、 邪淫，必有感情困扰与纠纷。 《 太阴化科 》太阴五行属水，水之五常主智，故太阴有刀笔之光，而化科，主才华 洋溢，主功名，故太阴化科，偏重于才华之表现与名气之增加，如再遇三台八座，更可扩张 知名度，庚年生人，较具有内涵，为真才实学，其表现亦为实至名归，但癸年生人，其才华 往往较浮夸不实，或只是短暂突发性之才华，一幌即过，故其知名度较不能持久，或仅得虚

名而已。太阴化科，有昌曲同度，或会照，或夹持时，必然聪慧过人，文章出众，博学多能 且声誉佳，名气远扬，但太阴落陷化科，逢化忌，加遇火铃同度，反主恶名昭彰。太阴庙旺 化科才算有益有利，陷地化科，称”破科”，于事无补。 太阴化科利于学术研究，令吾人风度、修养，均有助益，故在庙地化科此人必是风度 好、有修养，对人不会恶言相向，或给他人颜色看看。 《 贪狼化忌 》贪狼化忌，如无煞来冲，虽波折损失难免，但其受害程度，为所有化 忌中较轻微的一种（天同化忌亦是），但如落陷，又逢煞曜冲照（火铃例外不在此限），则 男命狂醉豪赌，再遇桃花星，必嗜色如命，而导致横发横破，悲剧收场，因贪狼化忌三方必 然会见破军化禄，女命则放浪形骸，不安于室。贪狼于庙旺之乡化忌，遇火铃可使贪狼在才 艺技术方面有所发挥，或有特殊之巧艺，而成名立万，但亦须历尽艰辛及波折，且常有守不 住财之现象。贪狼落陷化忌入夫妻宫，多主二次婚姻，或婚前多感情纷扰，而婚后亦不和 谐，如又逢煞冲照，恐有三次婚姻，命中逢此格局之人，夫妻宜各自创业或分头谋职，更可 同室分床而眠，或举办二次婚礼，将可增进夫妻之和谐。贪狼化忌因酒、色生病，或惹是 非，在申地，一生一事无成，坐身、命、夫，三婚，陷地尤多，在巳、亥，化忌加煞，犯白 虎，女命沦落风尘，如经商宜做现金生意，与羊、陀同宫，死于牡丹花下，不喜与廉贞同 宫。

Interpretation for Event Changes
禄是因忌是果，这是学飞星人都熟能耳详的，先简略个人对禄、权、科、忌基本的概念。Lu is cause, Ji is the effect, this is commonly heard when someone learn flying star. Lets first understand some basics of ”Hua” stars. 禄：是因，是虚，是浮，虽吉象但不实，不要高兴的太早。Lu is cause (from causeand effect), Is virtual and floating, although its a good sign, but don’t betoo happy early. 权： 是力量，是强取，是压力，是决定取舍众因的重要关键。Quan is power, is force( control), pressire. 科：是拖延，是平和，是在权决定方向後之执行官。Ke is delaying,is peace. 忌： 是果，是债，是可以由果推回去看当初权的取舍吉凶。Ji is effect (From Cause and effect), is a debt. When refering to emotions. 禄＝好感（禄只是有好感但不见得会追求，通常禄都只为 广泛人缘好而已）Lu = good feeling 权＝主动（权的力道很强，是立太极的一方采取主动 争取）Quan = self motivated 科＝暗恋（科为放在心里的暗恋，情愫比禄还要多些）Ke = Secret Love 忌＝纠葛执着（这忌一入就得看全局，有时是单方的缠黏，有时是双方爱的死去 活来) Ji = Persistent disputes
甲廉破武 When Lian Zhen has Flow, it might be negative or positive as it may mean increasing wealth through the involvement of hazardous/dangerous activities. Naturally the ambition, courage, and fool-hardiness would increase (Po Jun with Power Enhancer). There would be ”showy” execution of wealth accumulation as the activities are hazardous/dangerous. Adding everything together, an easily self-confused but extreme witty, agile star having flow; plus the increase in fool-hardiness and ”showy” execution, would easily lead to political disagreements (people just want to oppose - Tai Yang Hua Ji).
258
CHAPTER 11. 4 TRANSFORMATION STARS 四化曜
乙 梁紫 Lots of movement or strategizing to create wealth (Tian Ji with Flow) and given the capacity to do more problem-solving and/or become more harsh with principles (Tian Liang with Power). This movement and capacity makes one become as famous as a confident and powerful person (Ziwei with Fame). But too much of movement, strategizing, problem-solving, and fame would easily attract opposition, make one extremely emotional, and/or result in wealth losses (Tai Yin with Negative). 丙同 昌廉 Tian Tong with Flow may increase the contentment-seeking/spiritual-fulfillment and also can mean a good renewal. There is some stability after the renewal and many ideas are put forth strongly to achieve spiritual fulfillment (Tian Ji with Power) . As it is spiritually-fulfilling, there is an outwardly expression of thoughts and/or things look good only at the surface-level (Wen Chang with Fame). But a renewal or a fixation on contentment-seeking may result in conflicting emotions and/or bad relationships with others (Lian Zhen with Negative) as it may take very long to achieve spiritual-fulfillment. 丁同巨 There is a lot of focus on achieving self-satisfaction in terms of money/wealth (Tai Yin with Flow) and it the process can be arduous (Tian Tong with Power). The focus on achieving self-satisfaction in wealth matters may result in being known for coming up with great ideas and plans, but the consequence would be that people might find the subject contentious with so much plans and/or being embroiled into disputes due to the arduous process and focus on self-satisfaction (Ju Men with Negative). 戊右 For ZZP, Wu stem Four Enhancers would be Tan Yin Yang Ji. More focused on pleasure-seeking and networking (Tan Lang with Flow), there is an increased reinforcement of planning and using strategies to work with people to achieve outcomes (Tai Yin with Power). There will be impressive displays to attract attention (Tai Yang with Fame) and there might be bad thinking and/or inability to change or frequent changing because of the pleasure-seeking behaviour (Tian Ji with Negative). 己武 梁曲 More direct actions to increase wealth (Wu Qu with Flow) and there is a increased use of networking to establish contacts (Tan Lang with Power). One would be well-known for ”solving problems” as one it will be brimming with ideas (Tian Lian with Fame), although the execution part may draw verbal disputes and/or just plainly bad execution (Wen Qu with Negative). Wen Qu with Negative also means dark omens or backstabbing or even things not-seeming what they are....so it is a sign of caveat emptor. 庚武同 For ZZP ZWDS, Geng stem would be Yang Wu Fu Tong.

A Sun that shines brightly with flow may draw lots of opposition (Tai Yang with Flow) and the way it is being achieved is through straightforward and direct delegation (Wu Qu with Power). Wanting to provide for all, the appearance of being responsible appears (Tian Fu with Fame). This leads to inner discontentment as there may be a lot of giving and action but only for others but not for self (Tian Tong with Negative). 辛巨 曲昌 Verbalizing contentiousness to increase wealth (Ju Men with Flow) and a forceful push in human relations (Tai Yang with Power). The use of verbal skills is very apparent and wellknown (Wen Qu with Fame). But there may be bad thinking or lack of black-and-white as all focus is on verbal agreements/negotiations (Wen Chang with Negative). 壬梁紫左武 For ZZP ZWDS, Ren stem would be Liang Di Fu Wu. An increase of solving problems to increase wealth (Tian Liang with Flow) makes one very come up with ambitious plans and/or become very pushy (Ziwei with Power). This display of problem-solving makes one very ”reliable” (Tian Fu with Fame), although one would meet up with problems with money as the strategies may have to between sticking with principles and being practical (Wu Qu with Negative). 癸破巨 Very bold and ground-breaking attempts in investments (Po Jun with Flow) and that would means being very outspoken in speech to sell the ideas (Ju Men with Power). These plans are very well-thought and appear extremely detailed (Tai Yin with Fame). These attempts may be an all-or-nothing gamble and/or impulsive as there is a tendency to be greedy (Tan Lang with Negative).

Additional Insights
Heavenly Stem influences both the Flow Enhancer and the Treasurer (Lu Chun). With the emphasis on the Major Stars in the Self domain meeting Hua Lu and Lu Chun; the Heavenly Stems of Jia, Yi, Bing, Ji, Xin, and Ren gives Hua Lu and Lu Chun to the respective Major Stars in the template of Zi Wei + Tian Xiang in the Chen and Xu houses. Similarly, Wu Heavenly Stem gives Hua Lu and Lu Chun to the template of Zi Wei + Po Jun in the Chou and Wei houses. Ding and Geng Heavenly Stem gives Hua Lu and Lu Chun to the template of Zi Wei + Qi Sha in the Si and Hai houses. Gui Heavenly Stem gives Hua Lu and Lu Chun to the template of Zi Wei + Tian Fu in the Yin and Shen houses. From ZZP perspective, it seems like only two Major Stars are unaffected/untouched by the Enhancers, which are Tian Xiang (Seal Minister) and Qi Sha (Field Marshal). Maybe Qi Sha is more affected internally (they usually appear cold on the outside but with burning passion in the inside). Tian Xiang is more affected by environmental factors than solely by itself.

CHAPTER 11. 4 TRANSFORMATION STARS 四化曜
Also, it seems like Lu Chun and Hua Lu can never in the same domain (without mirroring) in the Mao, Chen, Wu, Wei, You, Xu, Zi, and Chou houses. Perhaps something to do with Zi Wei + Tan Lang for Mao, Wu, You, and Zi? Suppose this is the case, there will be differences in analysis when Lu Chun and Hua Lu resides in the Self domain compared to ”flanking” from left and right e.g. Lu Chun in Career while Hua Lu in Wealth. Perhaps the permutations have to be tracked back to how the 60 Jia Zi Na Yin influences the Ming Gong (Self Domain) placement in ZWDS. IMHO, from there maybe we can understand how the formulas were derived from the XTBG and 60 Jia Zi.

Twelve Stages of Birth 长 生十 二 神 They seem to denote the phase of the energies in the domain as well as enhance/reduce the effects of the stars. For e.g. Guan Dai in Career domain usually means the subject starts his/her career early, Shuai/Bing/Si in relationships can weaken affinity within those domains, Jue is the worst in the relationship domains as it means extremely little affinity, Mu in Career can mean hidden potential or acting behind the scenes, Mu Yu can be challenging for maintaining monogamy in love relationships (Mu Yu may be a good phase for change and beginning anew), although Di Wang is very powerful and means peak - it also means that this power will topple or diminish when this phase passes, Lin Guan can be good for promotions or getting new projects, Tai is the most vulnerable point but also the opportunity for new beginning, Zhang Sheng/Yang are generally auspicious phases for growth. As with any other 紫微斗数analysis, we have to see the interaction of all stars when analysing Zhang Sheng Shi Er Shen. It is very useful when looking at the Base chart to see which phase the subject starts in, and the phases that the subject goes through in Decade, Annual, and Liunian.

Flying Star Technique 飞星紫微斗数《专论四化》紫微斗数以十二宫的细腻区分，加上四化象义而後的宫、 星释，令吉凶休咎得以更详尽的透析，几无其它命术能出其右，最能契合人事纷杂的 现代人所需。紫微斗数分南、北两派。南派又称为叁合派，以满盘大小星曜、神煞的 星性作依据而分析吉凶。北派则称『飞星派』，以四化〈禄、权、科、忌〉为用神。 集「宫位」、「化象」和「星曜」叁者加以阐释，宫宫皆可化而後串经联纬成整体象 意。熟练後可以清晰的解释人、事的吉凶现象，也同时明了它的因果关。飞星紫微斗 数「专用四化」而首重推理，当深刻了解宫位与化象，并揣摩其禄转忌与忌转忌交会 之间的宫、星理气变化，加以禄、忌相逢成加倍之福或加倍之损的解读，与飞化间的 冲、会呼应转折，活泼而灵巧的满足了繁琐的人事变化。长时间磨练方可得其髓而後 运用於实际论命。因为：一、禄、权、科、忌须作广泛多元的释象。譬如禄与忌於人 为情与义、乐和哀，於物为美与、大和小，於事为发扬与骞滞、希望和固守或消散， 於时间则为悠远与短促，於空间为流畅与滞碍 等等。二、命盘十二宫是太极既定的表 象盘，你必须彻底明一〈命〉、六〈疾厄〉共宗，与九〈事业〉位阳之极化而成气数 位，以及有为之後的守成第十〈田宅〉宫。如此作法等於命盘十二宫背後有广大的活 盘纵横经纬。配以四化，论事才能了然於胸。故曰：「命盘十二宫，宫宫皆是春」。 否则，禄、权、科、忌朗朗上口，还不如唱儿歌来得可爱。凡论任何事，均须看以该 事「立太极」的主要宫位外，观与此事相关的必要辅助宫位。譬如论婚姻是否离异， 除看命、夫妻宫外，不得疏漏田宅与父母〈婚姻的田宅位〉；而诸如财帛〈婚姻的对 待位〉、福德〈喜怒反应〉、疾厄〈情绪反应〉、交友〈配偶情绪反应〉等则应作夫 妻相处之参考与评估，则全盘少漏失矣。大凡学四化多年而面对命盘仍无法清析论命 的原因，易出於忽略动盘、借盘四化的「归回太极」，故而释象常偏离本命既有的质 地，或紊乱下断思绪。莫被诸如禄忌同参、禄随忌走、禄忌成双忌、逆水忌、拆马忌 等等死公式给套牢你的思考，因为命盘组合千变万化，如何尽套公式？就以我个人的 经验，只要清楚於宫位和化象之间的理气，命盘自己会说话！也就是说，理气融圆则 能存乎一心下断。 【四化专论一】斗数飞星基础─星性〈一〉 诸星单论无休咎，需四化串联而生吉凶，由是定格局、论行运。譬如紫微入命相貌 堂堂，但非定是获成就者。反倒是才人无貌，常见相貌平凡的大人物。紫微：伯邑， 周文王的长子。五行己土〈中央土〉。北斗帝座之星曜，主「尊贵」。衣食无缺但 防精神空虚，喜别人奉承。主精密、高贵物品，珍奇古董、珠宝 石。高楼、大厦。 电脑、高级车。寿星。天机：姜尚，周文王的军师。五行乙木。性「化善」。为轴 承主动，故为「驿马」星。主「智慧」，但防自负。化禄多点子、化忌喜专研〈格 269

FLYING STAR TECHNIQUE 交友：朋友有成就者。 事业：企图心较旺，能应变开创，近于创业。 田宅：祖业不差，更可开创上一层楼，近于创业。 福德：自信、好胜、好高。 父母：长辈提携、父权重、得理不饶人。 5月24日 【四化专论四】生年权于十二宫 命宫：主见、自负。 兄弟：兄弟中有能干者。本人库厚、经济强，近于创业。 夫妻：配偶主见强。 子女：小孩主见强，需循循善诱。 财帛：收入较高，企图心较旺，近于创业。 疾厄：体壮、耐劳、草根性。 迁移：能力强、应变佳、可开创与独当一面。 交友：朋友有成就者。 事业：企图心较旺，能应变开创，近于创业。 田宅：祖业不差，更可开创上一层楼，近于创业。 福德：自信、好胜、好高。 父母：长辈提携、父权重、得理不饶人。 九千注：生年权可以看得出一个人的性格。如果坐命就个性强硬，只要自己认为了是 对的事，就不会改变。一般人三十而不惑，他可能早十年就不惑了。因为主观思想太 强之故。 疾厄坐生年权，个性不单是草根性，而且很霸道。跟生权坐命比，这是形于外的霸 道，行为的专横。 生年权坐子女宫一般会视和异性发生婚前的关机会比较大。其实主要是桃花的「主宰 性」超越自己的理智所做成。不可以视为必然的定数。 财帛坐生年权，其实是用钱很豪爽。不过如果格局能配合，反能成为至富的因素。到 底一个对投资保守的人是难有大成的。还有，因为财帛为父亲的疾厄宫，可以看得出 其父是一个大男人，行事做人有霸气。 【四化专论五】生年科于十二宫 命宫：主斯文、温柔、和顺、随和、亦主桃花（君子风度）、外表端正 兄弟宫：主中弟有才学、互为贵人 夫妻宫：主双方家世清白、互为贵人、配偶好面子 子女宫：子女聪明、有文学艺术天份、性温文典雅 财帛宫：主财运稳定、不主多财、但要的都有、外表看起来富足 疾厄宫：个性举止犹豫、文弱、不粗鲁灾病少、有贵人解厄、身材苗条、风度佳、性 善良
273 迁移宫：出外可得贵人、适合向外地发展 交友宫：可得友助、大多是斯文人、本人亦为友之贵人 田宅宫：主家中置雅、讲究居家生活之情调、方便性 福德宫：心情安定、风雅 父母宫：秀气、温文雅儒、得父母疼爱、父母温和斯文 【四化专论六】生年忌于十二宫命宫：执着、固执、操心、记恨、易自寻烦恼、六亲 缘薄。 兄弟：手足不得力、量入为出、精打细算，老兼伙计、责任加身、守成安定、私心、 具劳碌条件。 夫妻：婚姻债、配偶固执、感情苦。 子女：为小孩操心、多搬家、离家在外时间多、亲戚少助、合伙累人、晚运自珍重、 事少理〈招谁惹谁？〉、守成难。 财帛：流汗钱、固定薪资、现金生意、薄利营生、具劳碌条件。 疾厄：不得、劳碌、不耐静、具责任感、久病〈格局破〉。 迁移：驿马出外、不善伪装、率真、不圆融、正直憨厚、胆小、临急成无头苍蝇〈自 化忌尤显〉矛盾乱象：不善〈喜〉迎逢、临急应变失自我主张、一心二用易出差错、 善忘、少掉一根筋，但防少了智慧。、不发少年人、一分耕耘一分收〈少检便宜〉、 济世愤俗〈格局差〉。 交友：惜情重义、不善守财、较难守成、不利选举、少计较。 事业：上班安定、事必躬亲、忙碌、老兼伙计、现金生意、薄利营生、具劳碌条件。 田宅：守成安定、精打细算，老兼伙计、家庭责任、白手成家、自立、较自私。 福德：耽于嗜好、得花用、偏执其性、操心〈女命〉。 父母：孝顺〈欠亲长债〉嘴不甜、喜怒形色、不善伪饰、口直心快、不讨好、读书须 认真、婚后宜小家庭。 九千注：生年忌最喜坐官禄和田宅宫。坐官禄代表其人能专注事业，简单来说就是工 作狂。能创机立业就是这类人。缺点就是生忌冲夫妻，婚姻生活必不协调。 田宅宫坐忌跟事业宫坐忌类似，但属于能守成之人。能守成，自然能稳步创富，建基 立业。假如果你亿万身家，交给一个田宅宫中有生忌坐守的子女继承一定没有错，皆 因其能守成之故。 【四化专论七】婚姻关宫座甲辰贪狼，则命宫必定丙午坐廉贞。因此「夫妻宫四化则 是本命宫廉禄、友宫太阳忌」，正所谓禄随忌走？甲廉绿起、阳忌缘灭？ 你先忘记这些妨碍思路的臭缠脚布，它会让人脑筋打结！ 所谓禄随忌走讲的不是某宫所化的禄会跟着它所化的忌走！ 所谓禄随忌走是：譬如本造，夫妻宫以甲廉贞化禄入命宫逢命宫丙廉贞自化忌，则为 我异性缘好〈夫妻禄入命〉，我来者不拒、照单全收〈禄逢自化忌〉，是夫妻之禄随 我命忌走矣。自化忌为没有原则象，故主此造主人必不挑食，照单全收，但防消化不 良〈感情纠纷〉。因此，单宫飞化之象，禄归禄、忌归忌。 田宅以己文曲忌会父母〈婚姻田宅〉丁巨门忌两入兄弟成双忌；夫妻则甲太阳忌入交 友，婚姻的共宗六位尽破。

CHAPTER 14. FLYING STAR TECHNIQUE 夫妻破交友，转辛文昌挟三忌之力入田宅；而今年踏事业宫武曲生年忌「冲于夫 妻」，转庚天同会前述三忌之力呈四忌大破本命田宅「冲大限命」。以今年流命「坐 生年忌」冲夫妻，转而凶应于冲大限命，将引动婚姻忌出而缘薄〈冲夫妻〉矣！是流 命凶应于大限命，故而今年婚姻危机四伏。 至于你提：「大运又行至癸卯贪狼忌转入夫妻宫。且明年丙戌年廉贞星化忌入本命。 因小心处理夫妻之事」，此说甚为不妥，乃子女宫非为离婚要件因素位。此造将以先 分居而后离，何也？乃两者田宅与婚姻呈三忌共破于夫妻疾厄〈交友〉，夫妻之情义 形同陌路。 女命四化专论- 化忌 化忌属水，即计都星，为多管之神，乃一凶星，于子丑宫入庙，寅午戌巳亥落陷，可 依宫内正曜之不同，而作用各异。化忌星入命宫，为人极易牛角尖，思想上有顽固不 化的倾向，个性强，善嫉妒，多疑任，好管 事，人际关 不佳，常与人起冲突，做事 每易功败垂成。化忌为多咎之星，常招致失败、失意、失恋、失业、破财、对立、争 斗、疾病、伤害、妨害、诉讼等灾祸，守身命，一生不顺，多招是非。除少数情况例 外，十二宫中，到处为灾，无不具有破坏作用，唯逢吉星入庙可以减凶，与凶星加会 不遇吉星，祸不可测。 女命化忌入命身宫，长舌利口，性格乖。不见吉星，一生衣食艰辛，主贫贱。遇凶星 化忌祸重，吉星凑合，灾祸稍轻。 1. 化忌在命身宫，迁移宫，凶力甚大，主不顺，多遭挫折失败，然其人并非无能。 2. 化忌在命，其人每多嫉贤妒能，心胸狭窄。不然，自己亦每遭他人之挤、嫉妒、倾 轧。 3. 书谓水二局生人，命宫逢化忌不忌。由于化忌属水，水二局生人逢化忌，可以因为 此化忌星的作用而取得或大或小的成就，但化忌星的凶力并不因此而消失，其人仍旧 难消除上述化忌星之种种不吉。 4. 天同在戌宫坐命，丁年生人对宫巨在辰化忌来冲，反以吉论，主大贵。 5. 巨门在辰宫坐命，辛年生人遇文昌在命宫或对宫化忌，反以吉论，为奇格，主大富 大贵。 6. 太阳、太阴在庙旺之地（太阳在寅辰巳午宫，太阴在酉戌亥子宫）化忌，不凶，反 为福论，若太阳、太阴在落陷之宫化忌，则大凶。 7. 诸星在陷地化忌，甚忌。 8. 廉贞在陷地（巳亥）化忌，更忌，主大凶，居官禄宫有官非牢狱。 9. 化忌与廉贞、七杀、破军、贪狼同宫者，必遇意外之灾。 10. 化忌与羊陀火铃四煞同守命宫，大凶之象，多为牢狱、残废、凶死之命。 11. 化忌与天刑同守命宫，大凶，为死于外道，死无全尸之兆，会四煞更验。限年逢， 有血光。 12. 化忌守命，与紫微、天府、文昌、文曲、左辅、右弼、科、权、禄同宫，又兼羊陀 火铃，作事进退，横发横破，始终不得久远，为发不住财之命。 13. 化忌与七杀、破军、贪狼、巨门、廉贞、武曲、天机守命宫，三方四正再会四煞之 一，有灾。 飞星四化
275 紫微斗数四化分为：化禄、化权、化科、化忌。化禄代表春、化权代表夏、化科代表 秋、化忌代表冬，就如同天候四时变化。禄代表出生原因起头、权代表生长、科代表 收成、忌代表归藏原因结束。紫微斗数首重化禄与化忌，代表事情的起因及结果，但 及四化的轨迹是有一定的规则。 1、出入之别：紫微斗数共分十二宫，1命宫、2兄弟、3夫妻、4子女、5财帛、6疾 厄、7迁移、8奴 、9官禄、10田宅、11福德、12父母，其中以1、5、9、10 宫为生数 宫，不可被化忌所冲，被冲称为破体，忌代表归藏，若去冲生数宫，代表原本收藏归 我所有，如今被冲就有损失，又名”忌出”，若化忌入生数宫，代表收藏归我所有，又 名”忌入”。 2、天人合一：紫微斗数四化有分大冲小及小冲大a大冲小本命盘四化冲大限盘，主一 年吉凶。大限盘四化冲流年盘，主一月吉凶。b小冲大大限盘四化冲本命盘，主十年 吉凶。流年盘四化冲大限盘，主一年吉凶。天地人三盘代表：本命盘为天、大限盘为 地、流年盘为人。所讲求吉凶变化，是要符合天人合一规则。例如本命官禄宫化忌冲 大限官禄宫，这化忌称为忌出，代表事业有所损失，这要等到流年走到忌冲的宫位， 事情就会应验。本命盘为天，流年盘为人，符合天人合一规则时，吉凶变化就会产 生。又例大限财帛宫化忌冲本命田宅宫，这化忌称为忌出，代表钱财有所损失，这要 等到流年走到忌冲的宫位，事情就会应验。变化例流年财帛宫化忌冲大限财帛宫，忌 冲宫位为本命奴宫。代表钱财因朋友而损失。 原作者不明 就静盘四化来论 1、生年四化 为先天四化，就其运用可定先天格局。 a 看 生 年 四 化 有 无 入 阳 数 宫 位1、3、5、7、9、11主 贵 气 ， 生 年 四 化 有 无 入 阴 数 宫 位2、4、6、8、10、12主财气。 b 看生年四化有无入生数宫，1、5、9、10主成就自己为实得，若生年四化照生数宫主 虚得，代表还会花掉。 c 看生年地支的宫位，该宫及星辰会影响一辈子。若生年地支的宫位为事业宫，一辈子 较为事业操劳。 d 看生年天干发射的宫位，只有走到发射的宫位才有力量，平常比较无力。 2、命宫四化 为后天四化，可看其后天的努力气势。看法与生年四化a、b项相同。 3、宫干四化 为定盘四化，可解十二因缘之定数。 a 看各宫干四化有无入生数宫，主成就自己为实得，若六亲宫则对我有帮助，忌冲生数 宫则有损失。 b 以各宫干立太极，来看各宫的成就。如论子女以子女宫为其命，逆排十二宫，以第九 气数宫四化，有无入本身生数宫。 c 以命宫及其他宫位，互相四化看彼此对待，总共有144种变化，又称144诀。 ※以上是定盘推演，只有其象和定数，并不具有吉凶，要等到大限运走，才有吉凶论 定。 【飞星漫谈一】如何看没有良心的人一「官忌入父冲疾」没良心的人

CHAPTER 14. FLYING STAR TECHNIQUE 官忌飞入，就是指官禄宫的宫干令某宫之星化忌。例如，官禄宫所坐之宫的宫干为 丙，父母宫又有廉贞星坐守，这就是「官忌入父」；因为忌星冲对宫，而父母宫的对 宫就是疾厄，这种况就叫做「官忌入父冲疾」。 「官忌入父冲疾」，被视为行为（官）埋没良心（疾）。为人口毒心更毒。做了错事 都不会受良心责备。 当然这种人不一定是会变成为坏人，但肯定是一个恶人。 曾见过有一个是「官忌入父冲疾」，都是典型的恶人，只是有些外表凶恶，但外强中 乾呢。 【四化专论二】斗数飞星基础─星性〈二〉 天府：姜太后，纣王之贤德妻子。五行戊土。「禄库」星。为大地之表〈戊土〉。山 坡地。香菰、竹笋、落花生、地瓜〈土产〉。可畜牧、养殖〈山产〉。重外表、好面 子、讲排场。自我、自负。脾、胃〈戊土〉。 太阴：贾夫人，黄飞虎之妻，冰心玉洁。五行癸水。「田宅」主〈女性筑巢欲〉。房 地产。主母、妻、女。洁 、漂亮。化妆品、服饰、清洁用品。美容、美 。女人月事 〈月亮每月圆缺一次〉。驿马〈月出月落〉。旅游〈赏心悦目的驿马〉。大饭店、旅 馆、套房、床。出租业、计程车、游览车。高级进口车〈漂亮〉。皮肤病〈化忌〉。 眼睛〈光明〉。 贪狼：妲己，千年狐精，化气曰「善」〈道家修炼〉。五行甲木。桃花〈感情〉。贪 、赌、酒、色、偏财星〈得禄、权，喜会武曲正财星〉。文学、巧艺、艺术、艺品。 五术、养生、命理、神仙术〈加天刑星〉。文教工作〈教化之始─甲木造册、简〉。 娱乐。大树〈甲木〉。寿星〈千年狐精，喜入寿位─子、午、辰、戌单星独坐〉。原 料〈甲为天干之始〉、纸器、建材、化学品。 巨门：马千金，舌尖牙厉。五行癸水。暗曜，主是非、猜忌、疑问。化忌主走私、窃 盗〈入库位─辰、戌、丑、未〉。神坛、乩童、符仙、地理师、邪术〈加天机、天刑 星〉、密医、江湖术士。阴庙、坟场、三叉路口、末巷。暗沟〈加盖〉、下水道〈不 乾的水〉。铁道、运输、卡车。意外〈忌冲〉。慢性病、西药、诊所。瘤、癌〈加廉 贞忌〉。门户、户口名簿。业务员、律师〈得禄、权〉、老师。五、零食〈品万物之 星〉。麻将牌〈古以动物骨〉。刑罚〈逢廉贞忌〉。巨门会太阳得禄、权，上政治舞 台。注：逢田宅、疾厄宫干为丁，化巨门忌于四正位〈命、迁、子、田〉及夫妻、疾 厄易沦为窃贼。 天相：闻太师，纣王的忠臣。五行壬水。「印」星〈主权，非指印章〉。和事佬。相 术〈人相、宅相、坟相〉。美食〈古书：天相司衣食〉。 天梁：李天王，周营主帅。五行戊土。「荫」星，将官、官员、高级单位、警政署、 调查局。大树、高楼、高格调：别墅，品茶。有价证券、股票、奖券。中药、中医师 〈加贪狼禄、权〉。草药〈药用植物〉、兰花、竹子〈高风亮节─清高〉。吹嘘、言 过其实〈书云：天梁化禄在迁移，巨商高贾〉。「延寿」星〈中、草药去病延年〉。 专科医院。 七杀：勐将黄飞虎，勇勐果决。五行庚金。书云：化杀为「权」、肃杀星〈死亡 星〉。军人、警察。重工业、大五金、重机械。恐怖类：爬虫、蛇、蝎、蜈蚣。火 车、联结台车、轮船。武、杀的组合：火车站、铁路边、飞机场。注：天干1甲2乙3丙 7庚，庚7金甲1木─隔七为杀，名为七杀。 破军：纣王，暴君。五行癸水。大海水。海军、仓库、货柜、海运。「破耗」星： 怪手、玩具、消耗品。杂乱：摊贩、市场、垃圾、堆积物、贮藏室。偏财星〈得禄、

CHAPTER 14. FLYING STAR TECHNIQUE 疾厄坐生年权，个性不单是草根性，而且很霸道。跟生权坐命比，这是形于外的霸 道，行为的专横。 生年权坐子女宫一般会视和异性发生婚前的关机会比较大。其实主要是桃花的「主宰 性」超越自己的理智所做成。不可以视为必然的定数。 财帛坐生年权，其实是用钱很豪爽。不过如果格局能配合，反能成为至富的因素。到 底一个对投资保守的人是难有大成的。还有，因为财帛为父亲的疾厄宫，可以看得出 其父是一个大男人，行事做人有霸气。 【四化专论五】生年科于十二宫 命宫：主斯文、温柔、和顺、随和、亦主桃花（君子风度）、外表端正 兄弟宫：主中弟有才学、互为贵人 夫妻宫：主双方家世清白、互为贵人、配偶好面子 子女宫：子女聪明、有文学艺术天份、性温文典雅 财帛宫：主财运稳定、不主多财、但要的都有、外表看起来富足 疾厄宫：个性举止犹豫、文弱、不粗鲁灾病少、有贵人解厄、身材苗条、风度佳、性 善良 迁移宫：出外可得贵人、适合向外地发展 交友宫：可得友助、大多是斯文人、本人亦为友之贵人 田宅宫：主家中置雅、讲究居家生活之情调、方便性 福德宫：心情安定、风雅 父母宫：秀气、温文雅儒、得父母疼爱、父母温和斯文 【四化专论六】生年忌于十二宫 命宫：执着、固执、操心、记恨、易自寻烦恼、六亲缘薄。 兄弟：手足不得力、量入为出、精打细算，老兼伙计、责任加身、守成安定、私心、 具劳碌条件。 夫妻：婚姻债、配偶固执、感情苦。 子女：为小孩操心、多搬家、离家在外时间多、亲戚少助、合伙累人、晚运自珍重、 事少理〈招谁惹谁？〉、守成难。 财帛：流汗钱、固定薪资、现金生意、薄利营生、具劳碌条件。 疾厄：不得、劳碌、不耐静、具责任感、久病〈格局破〉。 迁移：驿马出外、不善伪装、率真、不圆融、正直憨厚、胆小、临急成无头苍蝇〈自 化忌尤显〉矛盾乱象：不善〈喜〉迎逢、临急应变失自我主张、一心二用易出差错、 善忘、少掉一根筋，但防少了智慧。、不发少年人、一分耕耘一分收〈少检便宜〉、 济世愤俗〈格局差〉。 交友：惜情重义、不善守财、较难守成、不利选举、少计较。 事业：上班安定、事必躬亲、忙碌、老兼伙计、现金生意、薄利营生、具劳碌条件。 田宅：守成安定、精打细算，老兼伙计、家庭责任、白手成家、自立、较自私。 福德：耽于嗜好、得花用、偏执其性、操心〈女命〉。
279 父母：孝顺〈欠亲长债〉嘴不甜、喜怒形色、不善伪饰、口直心快、不讨好、读书须 认真、婚后宜小家庭。 原作者：梁老师 九千注：生年忌最喜坐官禄和田宅宫。坐官禄代表其人能专注事业，简单来说就是工 作狂。能创机立业就是这类人。缺点就是生忌冲夫妻，婚姻生活必不协调。 田宅宫坐忌跟事业宫坐忌类似，但属于能守成之人。能守成，自然能稳步创富，建基 立业。假如果你亿万身家，交给一个田宅宫中有生忌坐守的子女继承一定没有错，皆 因其能守成之故。 【四化专论七】婚姻关 宫座甲辰贪狼，则命宫必定丙午坐廉贞。因此「夫妻宫四化则是本命宫廉禄、友宫太 阳忌」，正所谓禄随忌走？甲廉绿起、阳忌缘灭？ 你先忘记这些妨碍思路的臭缠脚布，它会让人脑筋打结！ 所谓禄随忌走讲的不是某宫所化的禄会跟着它所化的忌走！ 所谓禄随忌走是：譬如本造，夫妻宫以甲廉贞化禄入命宫逢命宫丙廉贞自化忌，则为 我异性缘好〈夫妻禄入命〉，我来者不拒、照单全收〈禄逢自化忌〉，是夫妻之禄随 我命忌走矣。自化忌为没有原则象，故主此造主人必不挑食，照单全收，但防消化不 良〈感情纠纷〉。因此，单宫飞化之象，禄归禄、忌归忌。 田宅以己文曲忌会父母〈婚姻田宅〉丁巨门忌两入兄弟成双忌；夫妻则甲太阳忌入交 友，婚姻的共宗六位尽破。 夫妻破交友，转辛文昌挟三忌之力入田宅；而今年踏事业宫武曲生年忌「冲于夫 妻」，转庚天同会前述三忌之力呈四忌大破本命田宅「冲大限命」。以今年流命「坐 生年忌」冲夫妻，转而凶应于冲大限命，将引动婚姻忌出而缘薄〈冲夫妻〉矣！是流 命凶应于大限命，故而今年婚姻危机四伏。 至于你提：「大运又行至癸卯贪狼忌转入夫妻宫。且明年丙戌年廉贞星化忌入本命。 因小心处理夫妻之事」，此说甚为不妥，乃子女宫非为离婚要件因素位。此造将以先 分居而后离，何也？乃两者田宅与婚姻呈三忌共破于夫妻疾厄〈交友〉，夫妻之情义 形同陌路。 原作者：梁老师 九千注：留意本宫和其疾厄宫的关系。本宫冲田宅不一定代表不经常回家，本宫的疾 厄冲田宅才是不回家的现象。所以，上文提到只有夫妻的疾厄宫，也就是你交友宫， 忌冲你的田宅，或你的田宅忌冲你夫妻的疾厄，才真正代表有机会异离。 【飞星漫谈十一】千变万化的飞盘宫干- 流时宫干十一【流日宫干加五鼠遁诀定流时宫 干】 和小限、流月和流日一样，其宫干都时随时而变的；可是，今次用上的不是「五虎遁 诀」，而是用「五鼠遁诀」。 五鼠遁诀：甲己之日起甲子 乙庚之日成丙子 丙辛之日起戊子丁壬之日起庚子 戊 癸之日起壬子 先找出日干以运用于五鼠遁诀。用上一篇的命盘为例，已知四月二十日为甲戌，顺数 至今日四月二十四日，就是甲戌、乙亥、丙子、丁丑、丙寅（五虎遁之起点，丙干再 重）。四月二十四日就在寅宫，宫干丙。

FLYING STAR TECHNIQUE 以「五鼠遁诀」起「子宫」之干，「丙辛之日起戊子」，所以四月二十四日之子时在 子宫，宫干戊；丑时在丑宫，宫干己。。。如此类推。 一口气说了这麽多基本理论可能令大家吃不消，实在抱歉。但为了开始讨论飞星活 盘，这个实在不可以不知。 如果大家有留意，没有运用「五虎遁诀」和「五鼠遁诀」的飞星派分别之在于小限、 流月、流日和流时。准绳度的高低差异就由此而起。所以有些派别不用小限，或以小 限无十二宫来论，其实只是因为准绳度的参差，索性用三合星直断小限、流月、流日 和流时吧。 【飞星漫谈十二】忌星归位 财帛宫化忌反赚大钱十二【大财忌入生财坐生忌】赚钱 的时机 你是否因为本命财帛宫见生年化忌星因不欢，慨叹上天不给你发财的机会？你的救星 到啦，因为财帛宫坐生年忌赚钱的机会比一般人高呢！ 以往我讨论宫干飞化的时候只是论及同一个平面。例如本命命宫飞忌入友、大限财帛 飞忌入田等等；本命是一个平面，大限是一个平面，流年是另一个平面。可是，由一 个平面，例如大限财帛，飞化入另一个平面，例如本命财帛，我倒没有谈及过呢。 不同的平面飞化，当中又涉及很多的理论（怎麽飞星紫微有这麽多的理论啊？！）， 我在这儿就举一些容易明白的例子大家研究一下吧。 本命财帛宫坐生年忌表示一生都会为钱奔波，而且经常周转不灵。这种人是不是很难 发达吗？非也，如果遇上大限财帛化忌入本命财帛，例如贪狼化忌坐本命财帛宫，大 限财帛宫宫干癸令财帛再化忌，这就叫做【大财忌入生财遇生年忌】，又称为财忌归 位。这个大限可以赚大钱啦。（怎样赚要看什麽星化忌啦） 除了大限外，流年同论。亿万富豪都可能财帛宫化忌的，问题在于能否把握赚钱的机 会。好好努力吧。 【飞星漫谈十三】一生中最能赚钱的时间- 「体」和「用」的运用实例十三【体之财禄 入用之命】- 赚钱的好时机 学飞星紫微最头痛的是「体、用」之理论运用。我不想大讲理论，不如就在这儿拿个 例子说说吧，就算未学过飞星之体和用，都一看便会明白的。 大家学习三合紫微时，都会知道当大限流年命宫遇上本命化绿时，财运一定好。飞星 中都有类似的理论。 当本命之财帛宫宫干令某宫所坐之星化禄，大限逢该宫，这个十年必有财运。同理， 流年财禄飞入之宫，流月逢之，当月财运必佳。流日、流时同论。 就以这个命盘为例，本命财帛宫宫干癸，化申宫破军禄，此人于申宫35-44这个大限暴 发（破军乃暴发之财星）。流年行运过这个宫都会是有财运之年。 本命为体，大限、流年为用。流年为体，就以流月为用；流月为体，流日为用，如此 类推。 再以流年为例，今年乙酉年，酉宫宫干刚好又是和本命宫干一样，所以不用变。以乙 酉为命宫，财帛就在辛已。辛巨阳曲昌，财化己丑之巨门禄。己丑就是当年的二月， 所以二月是当年的财月。 再以二月流月为例，用【飞星漫谈十】所提及的五虎遁诀，「乙庚之年戊寅头」， 流月寅宫以戊为头，刚好又和本命一样；所以数至二月，宫干也是己丑。以二月流月 为命宫，财帛就在乙酉；乙机梁紫阴，财帛宫之宫干化辛已宫之天机禄，辛已是二月 的5、17和29日，所以他在这个月的5、17和29日是他该年财运最好的日子。
281 你也可以用这个方法计其他月份其他日子的财日。再进一步，你连那一日最肷钱的时 辰都可以计出来，不过要再用五虎遁诀一次，请参考【飞星漫谈十一】。 你可以用这个方法计出你一生中财运最好的时辰。我就不会去算自己的啦，免得错过 了自己伤心。: ( 再补充几点：1）就算你不会用前几篇提过的五虎遁诀算出流月和流日的宫干，你起码 都可以好容易算出大限和流年的财位。留意流年宫干不一定跟本命盘的分的，不明白 的请参考【飞星漫谈八】2）你可以大限为体，小限为用，或大限为体，流年为用再算 一次，可以再找出其他财位的。3）就算是财位，都会受凶星和忌冲影响，不得不小心 点看。4）大限、流年不好，有财都留不住。5）不要以为财星高照就去豪赌。如果禄 照的不是偏财星（例如贪狼星）都是对你的赌运影响不大。（输了不要找我，但赢了 钱要分点给我。) 【飞星漫谈十四】败家子还是顾家郎？「一六共宗」和「禄随忌走」的实例十四【命禄忌出 入财、田和奴】似是矛盾郄有序 一般来说，命忌入财（命宫宫干令财帛宫之星化忌，例如命宫坐甲，太阳坐财帛），代表损 财，损的方向又要看命宫宫干所化之禄在何；如果命禄入奴，钱都给朋友啦；命禄入父母， 赚的钱都给父母。原因为忌是吸收，禄是给予，情况就是这样： +—–（禄）—–》奴〖命〗———》钱都给朋友拿去花+—–（忌）—–》财 可是，禄入财忌入田，或禄入田禄入财，情况又刚好相反： +—–（禄）—–》财〖命〗———》赚了钱都拿回家+—–（忌）—–》田 +—–（禄）—–》田〖命〗———》从家中拿钱去花+—–（忌）—–》财 第一个情况忌入田禄入财，应该是吸收了田之财再给自己花，但事实郄是刚好相反，竟是一 个顾家郎的命；第二个情况禄入田忌入财，应该是吸收了财都给了田宅，可是事实上郄是个 败家子的命，把钱从家里拿到外面花。（选丈夫都不要选这种人） 为什麽会和传统理论刚好相反？其实如果细心一看，田宅宫是财帛宫的疾厄宫，也就是所谓 「一六共宗」。凡飞入之化星之宫有一六宫之关系，就视之为飞入同一个宫。 也就是说命禄和忌如果飞入财和田，因为一六共宗的关系，要视为飞入同一宫。 禄和忌都飞入同一宫，就成为「禄忌」，要跟「禄随忌走」这个法则。本来是忌为吸收禄为 射入，变为禄为因忌为果，方向刚好相反。 所以，以第一个情况，命禄入财，命忌再入田，本来是吸收了田的财供给自己的财，但因为 「一六共宗」的关系，禄忌视为同宫引发「禄随忌走」的因果循环，财走了向田宅，成为一 个顾家郎。 【飞星漫谈十五】早婚、迟婚、婚期十五【夫妻宫化入一、六、八、十】缘起之时 现代人都比较关心婚嫁的问题。坊间有好多关于夫妻宫的书；但关于早婚和迟婚的问题比较 含煳。我简单讲一下飞星派的看法，作为一个参考。 基础原则就是：夫妻宫宫干四化「飞入」一、六、八、十，主缘早。夫妻宫宫干四化「冲 照」一、六、八、十，主缘迟。 一、六、八、十就是命宫、疾厄宫、交友宫和田宅宫。缘份早至不一定早婚，可能只是早和 异性结缘。只有飞「权忌」化入才代表早婚。 简单来说，夫妻宫干禄科化入一六八十，只代表早有异性缘；权入就有早婚的现象；忌入就 是早婚啦。
282
CHAPTER 14. FLYING STAR TECHNIQUE
同理，权忌冲照力量影响是否晚婚：夫妻宫飞忌冲一、六、八、十，代表晚婚。单单是忌冲 疾厄和交友宫，代表和配偶无缘。夫妻自化禄权科忌，都代表晚婚或有波折。 看缘起和结的时间都是同理- 先看大限，再看流年。 可以结婚也不一定代表合衬；下一篇再讲合婚。 【飞星漫谈十六】寻找真命天子 十六【男命看财帛，女命看福德】- 男女命的对待位 近来流行一个理论，说如果对方夫妻宫的主星和你命宫的主星一样，他就是你真命天子。 这个说法有一个好大的逻辑性的问题：你用这个方法找到的真命天子，他的命宫主星必和你 的夫妻宫不一样；这麽说来，别人是你的真命天子，你必定不是别人的真命天子。 我偿试去找出这个说法的源头，希望可以发掘一下新的紫微学说来研究。虽然现在源头始终 未明，但起码发现了这个说法流行的原因- 原来是一位在台湾提倡「科学紫微」的大师在电 视上替一个名人断命的时候带出这一个说法，所以台湾术数界开始流行这个理论。 多谢缘网众高手对我提出这个问题作出讨论。到底飞星派有没有类似的看法？我在这儿特地 在这儿做一个专题研究。 飞星派中，男命要看你妻子对你的态度，应该看财帛，因为财帛为夫妻的夫妻宫，是对待宫 位。我简称他为「对待位」。 女命的「对待位」和三合派的终生幸福位不谋而合，就是德宫，因为这是夫妻的官禄宫，夫 妻关系的气数位。 看法就用基本的飞星理论- 「对待位」飞忌冲命，对方对你必然差；冲财，就别望对方会对 你财政上有支持，可能反过来要问你伸手。化禄反之。 举个例子：女命福德宫飞忌入迁冲命，丈夫对你必差。 所以，要找真命天子，就要看他的命盘中对待配偶的态度，是否和你的命盘中的现象一至。 不过这也带出一个有趣的问题：是不是你本命有会给配偶欺负现象，你就要找一个很会欺负 人的人做你的另外一半应命吗？非也。所以我觉得所谓真命天子，应该是对你好，有助力的 才可以。 所以在下一篇，我会集中研究合婚的问题，找出谁是配。 【飞星漫谈十七】合婚 十七【星系互配、本命飞星】论合婚要格外小心 在下一向避谈合婚，尤其怕问命者拿几个异性盘来，问谁一个才是真命天子。紫微斗数自有 一套合理论，但选择权还在问命者手中。今日你替她选了阿戊，岂料她却嫁了阿丙，阿丙知 道你曾经说过阿戊好，心中一定有条剌。将来婚姻有何不快，必视你为始作蛹者；又一可能 问命者其实深爱着丙，因为你的一句说话破坏了大好姻缘。无论命主嫁给谁都好，你的说话 都会对他们将来有莫大影响，结果你一句「依书直说」作了大业。 又有情况是已经定了婚期，竟走来合婚。天啊，难道你要我一句说话就此作罢吗？如果拒绝 不来，我都是报喜不报忧，宁为神棍胡溷过关，不愿作口业。 我说了这麽多，只是想告诉你们紫微合婚实在学来无用。有时见到异象都不敢直言，自己心 中有数作罢。不过缘于传统紫微斗数在合婚上着墨不多，大家又非常有兴趣，所以才拿出来 研究一下。希望大家用的时候小心，以免作业累人累己。 （一）星系互配正如我我之前所说，你不可以单凭一方的命宫和另一方的妻宫的主星一样去 找真命天子，因为一方的现像不一定在另一方出现；但是星系互配却是有可能的。不过配出
283 来都极其量只可以看出双方可以情头意合、夫唱妇随，未能看出其合婚后的成败得失。不过 作为初步参考也可以，以下是一方的命宫和另一方的夫妻宫配合：紫府相互配武廉互配机月 同梁互配杀破狼互配羊陀火铃互配等等 （二）本命飞星另一个既简单，又能够一望知成败的方法，就是本命四化飞化入对方的命 盘。其中一方的生年天干四化之星飞化入另一方的命盘命宫三方为吉。假如双方的生年干四 化都飞化到对方的命宫三方，你们就是天作之、人间仙侣。 例如女命命宫坐天同太阴、天机在官禄宫、巨门在德宫，和一个丁年生的男人结合。丁阴同 机巨，也是说男方的化禄和化权飞入女的命宫，化科飞入女的官禄宫，男的婚后有利女的； 只有化忌飞偏了，如果化忌都飞入命宫三方就更完美啦。 留意此种飞化不论四化星情，只需四化飞入对方命宫三方，越多越好。 【飞星漫谈十八】暗命宫 十八【生年干支定暗命宫】定一生格局之高低 在这一篇，我简介一下暗命宫及其用法。 年支所在的宫位，就是暗命宫。 暗命宫和原命宫一样，有十二宫的。暗命宫的主要用处，是确定格局之高低的。就算两个盘 类同，年份不同暗命宫的位置也不同，格局之高低就可以由此分辨。 如果用生年四化来看，就等同看原局：例如生年禄入暗命宫之田宅宫，此人一生衣食无优； 生年忌入暗命宫之夫妻宫，主迟婚；生年科入暗命宫之迁移，能名杨海外。 除此以外，还有运用生时宫。生时宫就是你出生的时辰那个宫位：子时生人生时宫在子、丑 时生人生时宫在丑，如此类推。 生时宫如果入暗命宫之三方四正，再配合生年四化加吉，就可加强该宫之力量。例如，生年 禄在暗命宫之财帛又是生时宫，此人必成巨富。 因为暗命宫只被视为原命宫之辅助，所以我比较喜欢用来看一个人藏的性格。 【飞星漫谈十九】紫微斗数的「数」 十九【紫微斗数岂无数】数藏于飞星紫微中星宫之数 「铁板神数」、「诸葛神数」和「六壬神数」等等，都有一大堆的数字和数的运用，偏偏 「紫微斗数」有数之名却无数之实。飞星派仪之根基「十八飞星紫微」，就运用了后天八 卦、九宫飞星、河图数和洛书数等演化出一系列飞星派的理论。在这一篇就浅论一下星宫之 数。 斗数之奇妙之所在，在于河洛理数之推演。 以一为命宫，其十二宫之分为：一命，二兄，三夫，四子，五财，六疾，七迁，八友，九 官，十田，十一福，十二父。 一六为水体数，火之用数。人有命也要有肉体，所以六为疾厄也，故人与命为一六之关系， 是为一六共宗。 二七乃火之体数，土之用数。二为兄弟、同事、交友；七为迁移，为外交，为人际。常言道 出外靠朋友，就是这个关系中看出来。此为二七同道。 三八乃木之体数，木之用数。三为夫妻，八为交友。有云交友与夫妻要一起看，就是三八而 用的道理。先友后婚。看婚姻要先看交友宫，就是先友后之道理。 四九乃金之体数，金之用数。四为子女宫，九为官禄。官禄为人生之成就位。在家的观念 中，可以视子女为人的一生成就；不过子女也是代表桃花，有成就惹桃花了。
284
CHAPTER 14. FLYING STAR TECHNIQUE
五十乃土之体数，水之用数。五，财帛宫为财，十田宅宫就为库也。所以化禄入财不为实， 还是会用掉的，入田才为实。 六、十一和七十二就归元。所以福德为人身心所受之福，父母亦代表在外之助力，为长辈， 上司等等。 胡乱拉杂讲了一些斗数中的数。其实当中数之理论极为习，例如之前讲过的一、五、九、 十，一、六、八、十背后的理论等等。有机会我组织一下再拿出来替大家讨论。 【飞星漫谈二十】天刑飞星 二十【天刑星的飞化】天刑星和命盘的飞星互动 天刑星坐十二宫所主若何大家都耳熟能详，可能你连它的星情都背熟了。但其实，它不一要 坐或冲才会发生影响力，它也有飞化的能力。 一颗乙级星也会有飞化？以天刑星所坐之宫为命宫，数至其官禄宫的宫位是天刑星的气数 位。其实任何星有类似的气数位。气数位宫干飞化足可以左右大局的。 所周知廉贞天刑白虎同度又遇上忌星引动代表有官司。可是，如果天刑星的官禄宫飞忌入命 宫三方，遇廉贞白虎，一样会有官灾。 除了看官灾，也可以用来看命主是不适合任公职。例如： 天刑之官禄宫飞忌入本命之父母宫，是公命。 父母宫化忌或科入天刑星之官禄宫，代表你不单是公命，你的才能更有资格成为重要的官 员。 如果你天刑星的官禄宫与本命的官禄宫重叠，就代表你宜任武职。 天刑星代表刑伤，其气数位的飞化也有同样功效，例如天刑的官禄宫飞忌冲流年就是。如果 飞忌冲疾，也代表有灾病。 【飞星漫谈二十一】「飞星格局」禄回归一生人最强的大限 二十一【大限命官财化禄回本命命官财】人生的高峰 「石中隐玉」、「君臣庆会」或「三奇嘉会」等等的紫微斗数格局，大家都能琅琅上口。有 人问我，为什麽偏偏飞星紫微不见有格局呢？其实飞星的确是有格局的，但其格局以流盘格 局居多，本命格局比较少；再加上，没有遇上一位文采好的人为这些格局取个好名字，所以 鲜有人提及。 在【飞星漫谈十二】中所提及的「忌星归位」其实可以视作飞星格局。今日所讲的「禄回 归」是异曲同工的格局，只是这个格局不单论财，也论整体运势。 类似【飞星漫谈十三】中所提及的「财禄入限」，但方向相反：如果大限命宫宫干化禄飞回 本命命宫，就称为「禄回归」。例如以下命例（1979年阳历11月6日生，女命），45-54岁大 限宫干甲化本命命宫廉贞星禄，为之「禄回归」。 除了命宫外，官禄宫和财帛宫也有「禄回归」的；也就是说，大限官禄宫宫干化禄飞回本命 官禄宫，或大限财帛宫宫干化禄飞回本命财帛宫，也算是「禄回归」。 如果你一个大限有「禄回归」现象，你在这个大限官财两旺；如果连续两个大限有「禄回 归」现象，高官钜贾非你莫属；连续三个出现「禄回归」，你的成就可能超越盖兹；如果每 个大限都有「禄回归」，那麽三皇五帝都要向你伏首称臣! （开玩笑，那有这个可能） 和一般格局一样，飞星格局亦会有破格。如果飞射宫见忌，或射入宫见忌或有自化，都不成 格局。
285 其实禄星形成之吉格容易冲破，反不及以忌星形成之吉格顽强。在下一篇，我就会讨论和 「忌星归位」类似的忌冲反成钜富格局-「库忌冲库」。 【飞星漫谈二十二】「飞星格局」库忌冲库冲破财库之门财源滚滚而来 二十二【命坐库冲田】流年过此年后大发 忌冲为凶，例如忌冲子田线更是灾害连连。可是，飞星中却有一个持别的格局，令到忌冲反 而成为暴发的契机。 辰戌丑未四宫为「四库之地」。如果行限至四库之地，大限田宅宫宫干又化忌入本命之子女 宫冲本命之田宅宫，流年经过这个被冲之宫后便会大发。 以下命例公历1986年2月3日10时30分生，男命。42-51岁大限田宅宫入未宫四库之地，宫干癸 化本命子女宫贪狼忌冲对宫田宅。所以过了忌冲之宫，也就是亥宫，2031年46岁后就会大 发。 除了大限坐四库之地飞忌入本子冲本田外，其实大限坐四库之地飞忌入大限之子女宫冲大限 之田宅宫也可以成为「库忌冲库」格，只是力量不及前者。 还有一个，就是大限坐四库之地，刚好又是在生年田宅宫，又逢自化忌，也是「库忌冲库」 格。 好好把握开库的机会吧！ 【飞星漫谈二十三】「飞星格局」禄忌战刑妻夫 二十三【本疾飞忌入妻逢自化禄】禄忌战 一般来说，忌冲代表无缘，比方说疾厄宫飞忌入官禄冲妻（例如，疾厄宫的宫干是甲，官禄 宫坐守太阳星，那疾厄宫的宫干就令太阳星化忌，化忌星就冲官禄宫的对宫夫妻宫啦），就 可以视为身体和配偶无缘。 但是，另一方面，忌入代表关注，所以以上情况忌入官禄都代表工作缠身，可能是自己是工 作狂，也可能是能者多劳。无论如何，工作繁忙就会少一点时间陪伴配偶，所以一般情况下 都不会武断地说本疾忌冲妻就是代表刑配偶，而可能只是和配偶聚少离多吧。 除了一个宫忌冲另一个宫是代表无缘外，还有一种情况叫做「禄忌战」的，就是一个宫飞忌 入另一个宫，而那一个宫有自化禄，那麽忌发出之宫就会刑忌入之宫。 例如疾厄宫宫干辛，夫妻宫宫干甲坐廉贞和文昌。疾厄宫飞忌入夫妻宫而夫妻宫又自化禄， 这就是犯了「禄忌战」了。 上述的情况下是自己的身体直接刑到自己的配偶，是一个很差的格局，代表结婚后可能会刑 配偶，而应数就在忌冲之流年。 比方说结婚后三年的流年刚好坐正他本命的官禄宫，也就是忌冲之宫。那麽，他的配偶就难 有命活过三年的婚姻啦。 【飞星漫谈二十四】论车祸 二十四【命宫和子女宫】看车祸中的受害者 大家都知道迁移宫可以看出车祸发生的可能性，但可能都觉得用起上来不算是百份百准确。 在这儿我也讨论一下飞星的方法给大家参考一下。 迁移宫飞忌入田宅宫冲子女宫，会有发生车祸的可能，而且是你开车撞人。 反之，子女宫飞忌入迁移冲命宫，车祸中是你会被撞。 被什麽撞，就要用星情啦。
286
CHAPTER 14. FLYING STAR TECHNIQUE
比方说，是巨门化忌，就是给卡车撞。 如果有破军星在迁移，就可能是给货柜车撞。（这可不是说笑） 如果破军星跟文曲同度而是文曲化忌，那就要很小心啦！ 如果是文昌星化忌，就只是给脚踏车或小机车撞吧。 顺带一提，如果是论桃花，子女宫飞忌冲命，是不会有桃花的。 本命及流盘同论。 按：飞忌就是发射宫的宫干令射入宫的坐星星化。 【飞星漫谈二十五】断背山 二十五【命友禄忌互】同性恋的倾向 为了庆祝李安的「断背山」勇夺多项国际大奖，我也在这儿简单讲讲同性恋的看法。 早在【飞星漫谈三】我已经谈论过命宫飞忌入交友宫就代表命主有义气，但如果友交宫也同 时飞忌或飞禄回命宫，那麽命主本人就有同性恋的倾向或经历。 如果只是禄来禄去，也可能有这个倾向，不过只是想想而已。 不过同性恋其实好实看，主要是因为社会风气保守的时候，就算有同性恋的倾向都要给压 下，而最终都要走回异性恋的道路。 【飞星漫谈二十六】流年恋爱运 二十六【流年、大限疾厄宫、夫妻宫之禄忌】看恋爱运 看流年的恋爱运好多时都只会看桃花之星，可是，桃花星也有可能只是利人缘运。飞星中有 直接一点的看法。 流年疾厄宫飞禄或飞忌入大限的夫妻宫时，那一年必有一段恋情。 反之，流年夫妻宫飞禄或飞忌入大限的疾厄宫时，主其年必有桃花，而且有结婚的可能。 以上的都是「向上取象」的好例子。 【飞星漫谈二十七】打官司的胜数 二十七【子女宫的飞化】看你打官司的胜数有多少 子女宫是官禄宫的交友宫，也是交友宫的官禄宫，可以用来看官司的胜算。 对比一下流年子女宫的三吉（禄科权）飞化的方向；如果主要飞入你本命三方，打官司时你 的胜数比较大；如果飞入你本命交友宫的三方，对方的胜算比较大。 至于三吉的意义，就从四化星的本意去找寻：禄就是轻获胜；权就是自己那一方道理比人 强，或你的代表律司比人强旱；科就是有贵人相助，有可能陪审团都站在你那一边。 但是，如果是忌入，败诉的机会就好大啦。 可是，不过千万不要认为自己胜算高就乱跟人打官司，你难保对方命格比你强哦。以上的只 是参考。 【飞星漫谈二十八】宫干遁诀补注 二十八【用宫干还是遁干】飞星紫微斗数的谜 我曾经在【飞星漫谈七】至【飞星漫谈十一】讲述飞星秘仪中的宫干遁诀。有不少飞星紫微 的高手看过后都感到很奇怪，以他们所学，流年用的是宫干而非我所说的岁干，而流月和流 日的宫干都不需要用五虎遁或五鼠遁的。
287 以流年来说，其实岁干和宫干都是有用到的。跟据秘仪所载，流年岁干是天运，乃是该年的 先天气数。而流年宫位的本命宫干则是由个人出发的运数，受自己的身边的人的互动影响。 因此，如果用流年岁干排盘的时候，其飞出来的四化就是定象，不可以再转化。如果用本命 流年宫干，就可以因情况而不停转化，例如禄转忌，忌转忌等等。所以大部份飞星派的人都 习惯用宫干而弃用流年岁干再遁。 其实，我断流年时都是比较多用本命流年宫干的，只是当看不清的时候才兼用岁干遁吧。 至于小限，很多飞星派都是弃用的，因为主流认为小限没有十二宫，用起上来很困难。 流月、流日和流时要用到岁干五虎和五鼠遁诀的问题，好视乎你在看什麽。有人用本命宫 干，但在流月时还可以，如果是流日呢？命盘只有十二宫，但月有三十日，是否每个月都有 十二个月循环的定数呢？答桉当然是否定啦。详细很难论述，不过如果你能活用岁干的遁法 这个就不是问题。 我本人论命就很少要用到遁诀，因为，其实只要你是运用飞星紫微，单用流年干就可以断到 流月啦。 【飞星漫谈七】至【飞星漫谈十一】所讲的，跟其他飞星漫谈一样，都只是依书直说。是否 一定要跟从就自己决定啦。 【飞星漫谈二十九】飞星本义 二十九【四化、星性、化曜、十八飞星、三方四正、三合法、四象法】是为「紫微斗数」 紫微斗数中，有所谓「图化四象」，亦名「象四化图」，简称四化。 四象乃天地之自然规律，就如四季一样，生生不息。星辰斗曜之本质，为「星性」。星曜生 生而易，变其星之本质、斗曜其性，是为之「化曜」。 紫微斗数运用十八主星断吉凶。其星本是虚象，是数的代表符号。所以斗数旨是「数」的运 用，而非「星占」。 各星曜跟从一定规律飞入各宫，但个别宫之吉凶不能以单宫星曜之位置来定断。皆因星之位 置虽定，但却会因时而易，受四象之变化影响。所以，星宫互扣只会有一百四十四种组合， 人世间却不止有一百四十四种命。星之组合随四象规律而「飞」，是为之「飞星」。 是以，飞星四化者，借干遁星，假象合支以应时，为飞星紫微斗数之根本。 以宫位断象来划分，紫微斗数有两大法门：「三合法」和「四象法」。 「三合法」以「命宫」、「官禄宫」和「财帛宫」为「三合」，加「迁移宫」为「四正」， 合成「三方四正」。循地支「三合」断人事，为斗数学说之基础。 「四象法」也是以「命」、「官」、「财」为「三合」，但「四正」则以「四象宫位」为 依归- 也就是以「命宫」、「子女宫」、「迁移」宫和「田宅宫」为「四正」。不同「三合 法」之处，乃四象法取这六宫之天干垂象，而非单凭星性。否则，六宫之星溷集就难以断事 了。 「三合法」遇上宫位无主星的情况下，借对宫之星来用。 「四象法」遇上宫位无主星的情况下，不借对宫之星来用，因其用象在乎宫干之故。 另外， 「三合法」效五行学，重星斗，所以星曜有其庙旺利陷之说。 「四象法」合挂与理数，重数象，所以星曜无庙旺利陷之说。 因此，紫微斗数中的「斗数」，就是有这个含义。

【飞星漫谈三十】自化忌转祸为福一 三十【疾厄宫自化忌】自化忌反为福 所谓自化忌就是某星所坐之宫的宫干令其化忌，例如太阴星所坐之宫的宫干为乙，「乙机梁 紫阴」，因此，这个宫位就出现自化忌的情况。 宫位出现自化忌一般会被视为「破」：命宫出现自化忌为人阴晴不定；夫妻宫出现自化忌配 偶难以相处，婚姻有可能因此会出现问题。。。如此类推。如果一个命盘有三个以上的宫出 现自化忌的情况，一生起伏不起，难以安定。 可是偏偏有一个宫不单不怕自化忌，而且喜见自化忌，这个就是疾厄宫。 疾厄宫出现自化忌，是较普通人更能抵御传染病的，不易受其感染的。 就算禽流感爆发也可以大模斯样地在街上走啦！（说说笑而己） 【飞星漫谈三十一】自化忌转祸为福二 三十一【疾厄宫自化忌】其他疾病和良心的问题 凡宫位出现自化忌就会有「破」。上一篇论及疾厄宫有例外的情况，但其实也不是完全吉 兆。 飞星漫谈聊聊几句很难说得这麽清楚。我只是说比较不容易感染「传染病」。但留意只是对 「传染病」比较有抵抗力，并不表示命主比其他人健康。 人怎可能会无病？疾厄宫自化忌，虽然对传染病比较有抵抗力，但相对患暗病和长期病患的 机会比其他人大。 其实用飞星的原理推想也不难想像。以疾厄立太极，就等同当宫坐忌。用拟人想象，疾厄宫 比较抗拒外来的事物，但内在却不安。从这个角度去想就比较容易理解，为什麽会说「破」 但又不「破」啦。 加上疾厄是良心位。在良心位自化忌就代表为人比较自我自私，性情比较反覆。有得，自然 有失。 【飞星漫谈三十二】大限化禄的含意 三十二【命宫是财帛的官禄宫】「财」的「运」 这几个星期以来，在不同场合跟好友讨论紫微斗数时，都碰到同一个问题，就是大限命宫化 禄的意义。主流三合派喜见禄，对大限化禄的联想很多：有时代表财运，有时是事业、姻 缘。有的甚至认为，只要是化入命宫三方，就什麽好事都会降临。 其实，从飞星紫微斗数的理论中，就可以推敲出其意义出来。 命宫其实是财帛宫逆数第九位，也就是所谓的气数位，也就是财帛宫的官禄宫- 气运位。 「财」的「运」，其所化之禄就是「财运」的指标。 这也说明了为什麽，三合派视大限禄入命宫三方为财运的指标。 同理，命宫也是官禄宫的财帛宫，是事业上赚钱之源头。其四化对己宫也是吉兆，可以看出 事业之财的走动方向。 可是，飞星紫微斗数不会单星独断的。看禄时，也要同时看忌，才能看出整体的吉凶。 有人认为所谓飞星紫微斗数就是传统的三合法加上四化的增益版。其实，你可以从以上例子 看出飞星不是单纯看四化的，宫位也很重要。 【飞星漫谈三十三】「飞星格局」终身桃花格 三十三【子女宫飞禄入兄友线或财福线】异性缘佳
289 早在『【飞星漫谈二十七】打官司的胜数』一文内已经提及过，因为「子女宫」是「交友 宫」的气数位，所以，其飞化可以用来看打官司的胜算。除此以外，「子女宫」也是经常被 用来看命主的桃花格。 「子女宫」飞禄入「兄友线」（i.e.「子女宫」的宫干令「兄弟宫」或「交友宫」内的星化 禄），代表命主异性缘佳。同理，「子女宫」飞禄入「财福线」（i.e. 「子女宫」的宫干令 「财帛宫」或「交友宫」内的星化禄），也会有同样的现象。 虽然同为异性缘，但是飞禄入「兄友线」，接触桃花的层面很广，因为「兄友线」可以代表 众生，有成为明星的质；飞禄入「财福线」，就是偏重钱财，所以和钱财有关的桃花接触的 机会比较大，可以在商界财经界吃得很开。 但是，两种也有可能是会沦落风尘的现象，要看命主行的运啦。 异性缘好不一定是坏事，但当子女宫另一头的化忌飞回命宫时，就是所谓「终身桃花格」。 这种人面对异性的诱惑很容易把持不住。如果意志力不坚，就会一生人不停在桃花中团团 转。 当然，「飞星紫微斗数」不止是单纯看「四化」的，宫位转移也可以看得出很多现象的。 现在，我们再来深入一点，移动一下太极点再看一次： 如果，你把太极点由「命宫」转为「夫妻宫」，那麽，你本命的「疾厄宫」也可以看成是 「夫妻宫」的「子女宫」。那样，当「疾厄宫」飞禄入你的「子田线」和「命迁线」时，也 就是「「夫妻宫」的「子女宫」飞禄入「夫妻宫」的「兄友线」」和「财福线」。如果命盘 有此现象，代表你的另一半异性缘很好。 与此同时，如果「疾厄宫」飞忌回「夫妻宫」，也就是「夫妻宫」的「子女宫」飞忌回「夫 妻宫」的「命宫」，代表你的另一半是「终身生桃花格」。对你来说肯定是坏多于好。 【飞星漫谈三十四】「飞星格局」回归禄和逆水忌 三十四【射出禄逢生年禄回归禄射出忌逢生年忌逆水忌】禄禄相碰呈凶忌忌互衡反吉 千万不要把这个「回归禄」和【飞星漫谈二十一】中的「禄回归」溷为一谈。名字看起来很 相似，但现象几乎完全相反呢。 「逆水忌」其实就是本宫「飞忌」到对宫，而遇上对宫坐生年忌。 例如命宫坐甲干，对宫有太阳坐迁移宫，这就叫做命宫「飞忌」到对宫，又名「射出忌」。 在这个时候，如果迁移宫刚好坐生年忌，例如命主刚好在甲年出生，那就符合「逆水忌」的 条件了。 一般而言「射出忌」是对「发射宫」有害的。但如果「逆水忌」的条件能成立，那就反而是 发射宫得益。 如果「逆水忌」出现在「命宫」、「官禄宫」或「财帛宫」时，飞星派称之为「忌冲浪 花」；意谓运势有如平静的海面突然激起万尺巨浪，出现突发的现象。大利建基立业、开设 厂房等。 跟「逆水忌」相对的叫做「回归禄」，就是本宫飞禄到对宫，而遇对宫坐守生年禄的情况。 一般而言，「命、官、财」三方的对宫「迁、夫、福」有生年禄坐守是好事，因为生禄照命 宫三方是大吉之象。但如果不幸出现「回归禄」，就代表钱虽然赚得轻，但花得更痛快。最 终可能一无所有，不是一个很好的现象。 很多人对「化忌而不忌」的「逆水忌」很有心得。但很奇怪，偏偏很少人谈论到跟「逆水 忌」相对的「回归禄」。可能因为「飞禄」实在很难理解，皆因其吉凶往往会受给同宫的飞 忌所左右。

CHAPTER 14. FLYING STAR TECHNIQUE
【飞星漫谈三十五】紫微斗数的门派 三十五【紫微斗数的门派】百家争鸣 写这一篇【紫微斗数的门派】，一来是给对这方面有兴趣研究的人作为参考。更重要的，是 希望让那些想学紫微斗数的人认清自己的方向，避免在几个互不兼容的学派理论之间徘徊， 而浪费了宝贵的光阴。 自「紫微斗数全书」及「紫微斗数全集」公诸于世后，有很多不同的紫微斗数派系相继出 现。到现在可谓是百家争鸣的地步。一派宗师要开宗立说，所持有的立论一定会与众不同。 这些立论当中很多是源自「全书」和「全集」的，但有一部份却是很明显和传统的理论结构 有很大的分别。 会出现这种现象，归根究底，都是因为紫微斗数的起源实在太扑朔迷离。「全书」和「全 集」面世前，紫微斗数已经流传了太约一千多年了。对于八字之起源于李虚中，集大成于徐 子平，这倒是有历史可考，有根可寻。但提到紫微斗数的创始人，到底是宋朝陈希夷祖师还 是唐朝李淳风或袁天罡，至今却仍未有一个定桉。 除了清同治年间出版的「紫微斗数全书」和「紫微斗数全集」之外，紫微斗数的历史中，除 了一些零碎的抄本，几乎没有另一份广为人知的着作在流传。根据王溢嘉先生在『命运的奥 义』一书中臆测，其起源应为二千五百年前迦勒底人发明，辗转经由希腊和罗马传至印度的 占星术和紫微斗数作比较，怀疑紫微斗数可能是舶来品，经过二千年的洗礼，其间，渗入了 中国术数中的阴阳五行八卦而演绎来的。 无论如何，紫微斗数的源头非但无从稽考，就连当中的演变过程都难以找到明确的记载。这 个历史的断层引起术数研究者无穷的幻想：到底除了「全书」和「全集」之外，是否还有更 多的不传之秘？ 各学派不论对紫微斗数是否加入五行、八卦、神煞关煞、中限或六壬等论命方式，总括而 言，大都离不开运用星情、星性的格局、星系互动和三方四正的传统理论。只是坊间习惯上 把这些以命宫三方为主的论命法的派系统称为「三合派」。 大约在二十多年前，飞星学说在台湾陆续出土。这个学说，被部份人称为「四化派」。后来 随着越来越多人以「飞星」之名发表其承传，大家又改称之为「飞星派」。「飞星派」据说 源远流长，以道家卦气论为骨干、河洛理数为基础，着重宫位重叠、太极点、体用和四化飞 星的轨迹之运用。 以下介绍的学派中，有不少就是声称拥有这千年之秘的承传；有的仍然坚守「全书」和「全 集」的精要，只会在配合社会变迁的时候，才做出有限度的修改；但有的是对紫微斗数做根 本性的改革，将其他术数的理论和紫微斗数融合，再加上自己经验的印证，创出新的理论。 以往所有三合派的都统称为「南派」，运用四化比较多的都统称为「北派」。以下的例表是 以其基本论命结构作分类。 三合派 派别 起源 特色 中州派 起源在洛阳，祖师是白玉蝉和吴景鸾，据说，每代只收一个弟子口述相传。直到王亭之先生 公开所学以后，才命名为中州派。在王亭之先生之前，有陆斌兆先生这一个分支，所以严格 来说，中州派是否也分为两派。
291 虽然王亭之先生发表过的研究和着作都比较多，但却鲜有听闻有打着「王亭之中州派」的传 人出来发表和论命。反而陆斌兆先生一脉的传人比较广为熟识。但无论如何，学习紫微斗数 的人，大多对王亭之先的书不陌生，进而认识中州派的学说。 在香港最为人所熟识的紫微斗数派系有二。陆斌兆先生以所承传的『世传钦天监秘笈』见 称，而王亭之先生则以『紫微星诀』享誉盛名。但因未听闻有其他人能拥有这两本声称是口 口相传的秘芨，外界只能从他们的着作中窥豹一斑。 中州派着重星曜赋性和星情格局、论命要求推理的能力。例如，一系列的星跟另一系列的星 碰上，就会产生变化；论命的法则就是从这些变他中推衍出来。 总括来说，中州派的理论是比较接近传统「全书」和「全集」等古籍的学派。但王亭之先生 一派除了对星星情有更深入的研究外，对四化的运用也比传统的用法更多多姿。 除了星系互涉之外，庚、戊和壬干的四化星也和传统的有所不同，而在流年诸星如：流昌 曲、红鸾、羊陀和禄马等等的运用上，也都是别树一格的。 紫云派 紫云先生先拜何姓老师门下，及后来凭藉着个人的努力，穷三十年的印和研，自成一派。发 表的着作也相当可观。 紫云先生自创三代论、太岁入卦论，太岁宫位等理论。其中太岁入卦法的星盘互动是未曾在 传统的紫微斗数出现过，但在传统飞星派紫微斗数中有流传。所以紫云派的理论，有一说是 他自创的，也有一说是他借别派的秘传加以改良的。无论如何，其派系的理论石都是建立于 传统「全书」和「全集」上的「三合派」 现代派 现代派的代表人物是了无居士。了无居士本为紫云门下，但为了坚持自己的理念而自立门 户。一九八五年四月起，伙同许兴智先生、慧耕术士、骆托生、郭先生、蔡钧超、浦江登 之、南鱼和非云居士等人，出版了七本的「现代紫微」，从此「现代派」之名不径而走。 现代派的了无居士反对「紫平合参」，提倡「子平归子平，斗数归斗数」。反对引入神煞和 关煞等进入斗数，和其师紫云「集各家之大成」的理念很不同。但就因为他这种坚持，引来 很多支持者。跟王亭之一样，了无居士很热衷于评注古籍，认为紫微斗数的精要，尽在前人 的着作当中。 天机派 「天机上人」黄春霖创建的天机派的绝学，是为密宗秘传之「斗数喜忌神」和宫气理论。光 是凭名字，可能和流传千年的「密宗占星法」有关连。如果真的如此，天机上人的承传可谓 朔古至今历史悠久。 以传统「三合派」为基础，类似子平八字的五行生取用神为用的论法，就是「斗数喜忌神」 的精要所在。除了星气、宫位天干、地支的五行外，还考虑到天干地支合成的纳音五行。这 一点，传统三合派的典籍都有记载，但却难以理解。不过「天机派」可谓为历史缺口作了一 个详尽的解释。 沉氏紫微 沉平山先生跟紫云一样，集百家之大成，以一已之力创出其独特的论命手法。 沉平山先生以飞星、星化、过宫论、变局、三限法等自创的方法论紫微，比较新颖。但观其 内容，所谓飞星法类似王亭之的星系互涉；星化法就是以主星四化得出的变化；而大、中、 小限法是以「中限」把大限细分，以求准确计算吉凶应的组合和时间。可以说是「三合派」 中非常特别的派系。
292
CHAPTER 14. FLYING STAR TECHNIQUE
占验派 据闻，占验派的代表人物有两个：一位是号称陈希夷四十一代唯一的掌门人「铁板道人」陈 岳琦；另一位是被称为占验派第五十四代传人的天乙上人。 占验派有传统星情格局的运用、再融合奇门遁甲、加上飞星派的十二宫飞化，内容非常广 范。断流运方面，除了基本的本命、大限盘和太岁盘外，再加上小限和斗君共有五个盘。 透天派 透派斗数，于日本再回流入台湾。透派相传至今，据说已历十三代，当代的掌门人就是曾留 学日本的张耀文先生。 「透派」的正式名称为「明澄派」，除了命身宫的安法与古本不同，命盘也不安宫干之外， 内容则与古籍大同小异。 天运合参派 楚皇是「天运派」的创始人。 除了「紫微斗数全书」之外，应是现代融入八字合参思潮的第一人，以宫气、喜忌神、死劫 等论断。 新诠派 慧心斋主 慧心斋主也是其中一个忠于传统的派系之一。跟了无居士和王亭之先生一样，着作无数，贡 献良多。 三合派 创始人是恭老人。 其实是风水的一个门派。事实上中州也有玄空三诀，紫微和风水之间的关是非常密切的。虽 然其理论中引入不少飞星派的飞化，但基本结构仍离不开星情格局的传统理论。 （上述统称「三合派」本来是指某一类型派系的代名词。但是，恭老人的「三合派」却是一 个特定的紫微斗数学派的名字。可能会引起大家溷淆，敬请留意。） 飞星派 河洛派 河洛派是由台湾人曾国雄创立的。 以河洛理数及化忌理论为基础。着重实盘验。是比较务实的飞星一派。 钦天门（华山钦天秘仪） 由广东梅县素心老人所创建的，传至近代蔡明宏先生。 门派的秘芨是「华山钦天四化紫微斗数飞星秘仪」。内容有「飞策」、「飞星」、「飞 宫」、「飞运」、「九星布十二宫七星诀」、「四凤三旗两仪标」、「先天四化飞星棋谱」 和「十干步天诀」等等。此派是非常着重飞星理论的学派，对「飞星紫微斗数」影响深远。 代表人物继有方外人先生。 仙宗派 创建人台湾正玄山人，法号玄真子，苗栗人，声称以「灵修」（神授）习得紫微斗数的闾山 仙宗道长。着有「天地人紫微斗数」十三套。 主张星平合参，纳音五行。闰月的排法也非常独特。不过，其基本体系却是不折不扣的飞星 派，但其支系来历却是无从稽考（因为是神授的）。
293 其他 一叶知秋术 这是颇富盛名的紫微大师潘子渔创建的。民国19年出生于福州.早年拜鼓山勇泉寺一尘和尚为 师学”一叶知秋术”论命与众不同。自认其祖师是孙思邈而不宗陈希夷。 一叶知秋术提倡铁口直断。他比较重视在各个宫的环境，有点像《佛门一掌经》。 其实，早年潘子渔先生习的是「飞燕琼林」的技法，也就是「飞星派」中的「飞星转燕关 诀」或「十八飞星易燕琼林」。 科技派 科技紫微网董事长张盛舒 引入科学进紫微斗数，希望紫微斗数跟西方的十二星座一样普及化。理想非常崇高，但手法 却不为传统人仕认同。 想了解更多关于「飞星派」和「三合派」论命方法的比较，可以参阅【飞星漫谈二十九】飞 星本义。 【飞星漫谈三十六】飞运（一） 三十六【太极点和体用】活盘的论命要诀 看四化时，大家都集中看命宫的四化，以体用同宫去看运程，这是传统的用法。其实，飞星 派在看运程时，很多时候要把体用分开来飞化的。 未讨论「飞运」前，先跟大家 习一下几个定义：「太极点」、「体」、「用」和「气数 位」。 第一个是「太极点」。由出生的一刻，太极点就在命宫。随着时日的增长，太极点移动。以 命宫为起点，阳男阴女顺行，阳女阴男逆行，太极点每十年移一个宫，再以此宫为起点排十 二宫。这就是我们所熟识的大限盘。 在大限之下，有流年盘。流年盘就是以流年年支的宫位为太极点，排十二宫。这个盘每一年 顺行移动一宫。 以上的就是所谓「因时而易」的「太极点」，是大家耳熟能详的排盘用法。其实还有「因事 而易」的太极点。例如，要看桃花或子女，我们可能会把太极点移到（本命、大限或流年 的）子女宫。这个情况，我们「移太极」到主事宫，再排十二宫，成为一个以该事为中心的 太极盘。 跟着是跟大家习一下「体」和「用」。以四化的角度来看，「体」就是以太极点和以它为首 所排成的盘，「用」就是四化的发射宫。四化的发射宫如果是太极点的宫位，例如，大限的 命宫所生出来的四化，就叫做「体用同为命宫」。如果，我们把体和用分开，例如，以大限 命宫为体，大限的官禄宫为用，来看大限官禄的飞化，落在大限盘的那一个宫位之上。这就 叫做「体在命，用在官」。 因为禄宫是命宫的逆数第九位，是所谓的气数位。所以，由气数的飞化，可以用来推断「运 程」。 再进一步看，因为每一个宫都有气数位，所以要看主事宫的运势，就要以「太极为体，气数 位为用」，这就是「飞运」了。 其实早在『【飞星漫谈三十二】大限化禄的含意』，已经谈论过「以财帛为体，财帛的气数 位（命宫）为用」的「飞运」应用实例了。 下一篇再继续深入讨论「飞运」。

CHAPTER 15. MING ZHU 命主 SHEN ZHU 身主

这里有个宫和主的概念。我们直观的把宫理解成宫殿，把主理解成宫殿里的主人。宫殿常在 那，宫主却可能外出。那么，宫主去了哪，为什么要去那，去那里是得到了好处，还是遭了 殃，就是我们要研究的问题。命宫好，但命宫主却落入一个煞忌交的宫位，也只主表面风 光。宫主，往往更代表核心的问题所在。宫主入他宫，又产生了宫位的重叠。比如，一个 人，命宫的宫主，也就是命主，到了财帛宫。那么，就表示，管理他命宫的主人，去了财 宫。所以我们可得到这样一组宫位重叠，就是命宫+财宫。命宫的宫主出差，到了财宫。命 宫和财宫产生了联系。所以我们可断，这个人，非常的关心钱财，或者说，这一辈子，都不 得不为钱而奔忙。这里，又有四种断法： 一、为钱忙，会赚钱。二、钱不够，没钱才会用力去赚钱。三、女性的话，是女强人。四、 女性的话，老公没能力或没老公养只好靠自己去赚钱，婚姻不好。 说不出是吉是凶，在这里只是想提醒大家，看问题，要从多个角度去看，去想。没有张口无 敌好，无敌坏。一物一太极，事事都有阴阳两面。 那么身主如果也在财宫呢？命主可以理解为先天，为我想，我想赚钱。身主为后天，为环 境，为运。为我确实做一件赚钱的事情，我处在一个经常和钱打交道的环境。先后天的关 系，大家要分清楚，要细心的体会。 这是命身主的用法的第一步。 第二步是，任何宫位，都可立太极点，当命宫看。如你分析事业的时候，可以站在事业为我 体的角度，来分析事业如何。或是说，站在事业宫的角度去看问题。 所以，按命主的排法，我们可以排出事业宫主。如，事业宫在亥宫，则事业宫主为巨门。如 是巨门在交友宫，则我们可说，事业宫主入交友宫。可得事业+交友的关联。 事业+交友是什么意思？ 一、事业是服务性质行业，和众生打交道的行业，吃百家饭。或传播行业，等等会和众生产 生关联的行业。二、事业方面，特别要小心来自他人的影响。如小人，也可以是贵人，宫位 断人事，星情断吉凶。 交友宫是事业宫的父母宫，那么，又有了个信息出现。事业+父母。 一、事业得长辈影响，子承父业的可能。或被长辈的人际关系影响。上司影响。二、父母宫 可能是文书。那么，可能是个要写东西的行业，或和书有关的行业。 简单的说明了一下，相信聪明的同学们都可以明白。只是，用法学会了容易。但知道怎么用 这些断法去断准，则需要自己用心去学，去练才会真正明白。

Assessing Personality In 紫微斗数, 命宫depicts the traits in a personality that are apparent and displayed when the subject is interacted with. The 福德宫documents what goes on in the mind; the traits that are hidden from the eyes. For instance, a person may appear to be generous (命宫) but in essence stingy (福德宫). A more critical application will be for checking one’s integrity. A complete profile is therefore established by looking at both the 命宫as well as 福德宫. we can have a minimum of 64 and a maximum of 98 possible types of personalities, depending on how stringent we go with the star brightness requirement. The main influencing domain of 福德宫is 疾厄宫. It represents the values the subject holds. Personality decides much in life. It is because of certain special quality that a successful person can scale great heights in life. It is also the lack of certain other quality that halts him from going higher. Whether one handles the challenges in life well also depends on one’s personality. While we are not always able to jump to specific conclusions about the life of another person in terms of the consequences of the trends in the chart, analysing a 紫微斗数chart remains as one of the quickest means to assess a personality. With the information of a personality profile clearly established, it can help one to maximise his/her potential and to minimise mistakes, especially when it is acquired well before one makes a vital decision. For instance, it is going to be a grave mistake when a Lianzhen-Tanlang child is told to take up engineering courses. Requirements in such courses and a Lianzhen-Tanlang personality are incompatible. It is the worst scenario for an uninhibited Lianzhen-Tanlang personality to be restrained by hard and cold minute details in engineering. Likewise, it is going to be dreadful to a 武曲kid when he/she is forced to learn ballet. Either the parents or the kid, or both parties will be frustrated when it is discovered later that the kid has no natural talents for such performance arts. On the business scene, the sales of products like a computer is better handled by a 巨门person who is more capable to convince with rationality and logic, while a fashion piece may be easier sold by a 文曲or 廉贞salesperson who is more capable to appeal to the hearts. These are just a few simple examples to illustrate how we can use the age-old knowledge to maximise life. 299

CHAPTER 16. ASSESSING PERSONALITY
As we can use it to profile a personality well, 紫微斗数becomes an effective tool to study the level of compatibility between two or more people too. This can be applied not only on relationship studies but also for corporate or business establishments to maximise human resources.
It is not uncommon to find children taking up a career or study choice because of their parent’s wishes. If their personality traits display an artistic tendency, then a career/ study choice to the contrary will not be beneficial to the person.

Commentary — These are the two domains we should interpret together to understand a personality completely. Thinking Domain is the most misunderstood of all the twelve because of the original Chinese words 福德宫, when fu generally means blessing and de generally means virtue or karma, but they do not mean those when it comes to 福德宫. The 命宫shows the outwardly apparent personality and the 福德宫reveals that part that is hidden.

CHAPTER 16. ASSESSING PERSONALITY
Commentary — Personality analysis. This is a chart of a young engineer. Lianzhen and Tanlang are about Peach Blossom luck and represent talent. When they are found to be in a combination like this, however, it indicates a free soul who prefers to wander than to get tied down, to express freely than to be meticulous, to be creative than to follow rules. Together with the pair of Interference Stars, Dikong and Dijie flanking the 命宫, this quality is even more exaggerated. Do they fit the description of an engineer? The young man is already very frustrated with his daily work two years into the profession. This is a result of wrong guidance from the parents who wanted their children to have their (parents) choices of professions. What should he do now, especially in a society that is very restrictive? From the chart we can deduce what his true talents are, and it would be recommended for him to indulge in those artistic talents over the weekends. This aims to balance his life.

Chapter 17
Assessing Marriage 17.1
Introduction
婚姻问题，在命理预测中讲究男益妻、女益夫，还有男克妻、女克夫之说。《三命通会》论 男女命时有此说法:“男命宜旺，旺则福，衰则灾。女命宜衰，衰则福，旺则灾。柔为本为 福，刚为刑为灾。”这符合阴阳刚柔的理论。如果是女刚女旺，男柔男衰，就叫阴阳反错， 违背阴阳规律，自然有灾。在此基础理论的指导下，男女命的断法也不一样，如子平八字 中，女命看婚姻主要依据夫星和夫宫，而男命则要综合考察。 In Marriage assessment, destiny forecast is about assessing whether the male benefits the female, vice versa, as well as whether the male clashes the female and vice versa. San Ming Tong Hui says that “For a male, the brighter the better, while for females, it appears better to be weaker. Softer nature begets prosperity, while a stronger nature begets calamity.” This is compatible with the arguments of Yin-Yang theory. If the female is strong and bright, while the male is dim and weak, we call this Yin-Yang inversion and directly violates the Laws of Yin-Yang and naturally leads to disaster. Under this basic argument, the assessment of the male and female chart is therefore not the same, just as in Zi Ping Bazi. Assess the female’s Spouse domain as well as male’s main star on the Female side, while for the male, it is necessary to perform a complete chart-wide assessment. 紫微斗数作为古代数术之一，在婚姻问题的预测中，也有自身独特的预测体系和理论方 法。紫微斗数看婚姻的好坏，主要是根据命盘中夫妻宫及其三方四正星性的吉凶好坏来观察 和预测的。 Zi Wei Dou Shu as one of the ancient art of numerology, has therefore its own art and way of assessing Marriage destiny. To assess where the marriage is headed, assess the basic Marriage domain of both persons as well as their associated Matrix for good and unfortunate stars for predictions.

CHAPTER 17. ASSESSING MARRIAGE
适婚、婚姻生活的依据。 The Spouse Domain describes what a person likes to see in the spouse, as well as the mental states of the; this domain documents the character, appearance and the relationship with the spouse. In assessing the relationship, it is most important whether the spouse is supportive or not. It is also possible to see if the relationship will affect the subject’s quality of life. Generally, it is not ideal for the Spouse Domain to be located at the four corners of a 紫微斗数chart (寅, 巳, 申, 亥) as it represents a relationship that is more prone to external influences and uncertainties. This domain can also predict whether marriage will end in divorce and indications of external affairs.

Assessing Affinity
夫妻情缘，首看两造小限夫妻宫和合与否，参考大限及生年夫妻宫星象，可知大要 To assess affinity, compare the Annual Spouse domains of the two persons, followed by assessing the Decade and Destiny spousal domains for the big picture.
17.4
Assessing Compatibility
夫妻性情之合与否，首先看命宫生年主星之两造配合，次看大小二限主星两造之配合，生年 主星和合，夫妻感情融洽，性情相近，大限主星和合亦然，限主星有克害，夫妻感情欠和，
312
CHAPTER 17. ASSESSING MARRIAGE
吵闹打骂，甚至生离死别。 To assess the compatibility between the personalities of the couple, first look to the Destiny Domain master star and assess the compatibility between the to stars of the person. Assess the Decade and Annual Destiny master stars then after. If the Destiny master stars are compatible, the couple’s relationships are pleasant and feel close to each other, so too does the effect of the Decade Destiny master stars. If the Decade master stars are in conflict, the couple is not exactly suitable for each other, quarrels and fighting are common, until separation or death. Yin-Yang Theory The Yin-Yang Theory is a rather a good way to ”fit” people together, though society is now more balanced in the way of power-distribution tolerance between the two genders. Suitable combinations of stars typically come from the same matrix e.g. Sha Po Lang, Ji Yue Tong Liang, etc. Very ”fated” matches with 80% same structure and stars within the Basic Spouse matrix of the subject that fits the Basic Self matrix of the subject’s partner. Evaluating Spousal Clashes 论夫妻 刑克 一、夫妻刑克者，并非两人动刀动剑之刑克，而是夫妻两人阴阳交泰（指性生活后的生理反 应与心理反应）后发生之恶性变化。 二、夫妻宫不好带有刑克之格局者，结婚后甚至婚前之同居行为发生后，因为夫妻间性 生活两人热血澎湃而产生之身体阴阳气机，窜流在夫妻两人的身体组织内，进而造成彼此之 生理组织变化，更进而产生心理变化，产生一种无形抗体（灵动力）破坏夫妻的感情、精神 思想、身体健康、甚至家庭气运。 三、有些人婚后开始发迹行好运，有些人婚后即车祸意外，破财刑灾，是夫妻宫所造成 的直接反应，只是常人不明其理。 四、当一个人夫妻宫不好的流日，实行夫妻性行为之后，不过几天甚至第二天就会觉得 身体不舒服发生疾病，或是心情不好，严重的甚至发生车祸灾难与人争斗刑伤等事情。 五、故夫妻之性生活以及婚前保持安全界线，和夫妻双方相互体量照顾是克服夫妻宫刑 克趋吉避凶的最好方法。 六、夫妻宫刑克或命局相克者，应特别注意与配偶婚前的清白，保持安全距离然后在订 婚结婚时选择克制煞星的黄道吉日行婚礼，正式结婚仪式做完再行周公之礼，婚姻之刑克即 可化解到最低限度，不过若非有相当之福德，现今社会实在也很难自制这点。 七、其次婚后逢大节日亦应禁忌行房，其禁忌之日子是农历过年、元宵、端午节、中元 节中秋节、农历初一、十五日、以及廿四节气日。

八、以上节日乃天地变化阴阳清息的交泰日子，我们可见月圆、月缺、海水涨潮、退潮 即可验证一般。 九、至于仙佛神明之圣诞日子，是否应该禁忌，这是见仁见智的问题，若论仙佛神明， 宇宙十万八千神，若要禁忌周全，想只有真去当尼姑，当和尚完全禁欲才行得通吧，仙佛神 明也是人生的，也有过其性生活，若以心得仙佛神明之寿诞星，如有做法会或是当天要去烧 香拜神祈祷者，理应清静为宜，也不可太拘泥。 十、性欲之冲动每个人都有，但若禁忌太多，致使配偶的性生活没法得到满足而向外发 展原本禁欲为避免刑克，而今不通情理之禁欲，反而配偶别抱温柔乡，岂不毫无意义。 十一、夫妻是一体两面的，每天生活起居睡眠在一起，应该多花点时间去了解配偶之个 性，兴趣、嗜好、理想，然后择吉顺应他，如此婚姻一定会比较顺利。 十二，择婚恋爱阶段，理想固然不能没有，但必须衡量自己有多少斤两，应该如何配连 理，无理之要求，过高的理想都是造成婚姻障疑的绊脚石。 十三、夫妻是平等的，在配偶前多赞美对方，多说谢谢，多说对不起，也是可以化解夫 妻宫的刑克作用。

紫微论婚姻中的红灯
命理探讨婚姻，分辨夫妻宫吉凶，更需兼看配偶对象，星曜、四化是否适合，适者和谐，不 适者成怨偶。这些条件几乎很少有人能逃出这个规则。一个人在感情或工作不顺时，若配偶 再唠叨，会慢慢在蒙上阴影，若再有发生剧烈的争执，更会使感情各走极端。几年的婚姻不 美满，不代表一生都成怨偶，有许多婚姻，在某个阶段发生风波，但过了这个阶段，也会风 平浪静，雨过天晴，如果以为婚姻是鹣鲽情深神仙佳眷，那可太天真了。随着时间消失，若 能相互容忍扶持，往后纺情感会更深固，“新人未到不知旧人好”再度婚姻又遇过来人，何

去何从，全凭自己的慎思。婚姻危机时，子女常是两人赖以维持婚姻和积极担负家计责任的 重要根源。女命命理格局太强，要是后天条件不配合，恐难全美或反发劳碌，后天条件以婚 姻为重，古今以来，许多女强人的婚姻不尽人意，是一生最大缺憾。女人的生命力再强盛， 若欠婚姻的滋润，在内心深处会有难言的痛苦。是因乾坤颠倒。婚姻暴力的探讨：一个人的 心理和性格，会随著年龄增长而改变，这是常识，并非什么高深学问。在近代人们的婚姻 里，有很多是经由两情相悦恋爱后才结成夫妻。但何以后来又会闹出婚姻波折？很多正是由 于岁月推后，两人的心理和性格都和恋爱时期，有了某些改变，遂使两人间的感情产生变 化，婚姻风波此发生。斗数限运三方四正所会星曜组合，自有其特殊赋性作用，根据这些作 用，可以阐释一个人在这个限运里的心理和性格概况。利用这个道理就可以来说明。中国有 两个时代社会，女人的问题较现在更为复杂麻烦，一为明代，一为元代。元代之汉人女子很 喜欢服侍异族人，因为当时的汉人社会地位很低，元族统治中国达九十八年之久。当其时， 南人排第九，北人排第八。规定一级可以欺负一级，所以在元代的女人是没有贞操观念的， 因为一旦为蒙古人看上，只须要一伸指，便得随其离去，不得违抗。在历史上有很多例子， 为官者，如其妻房为其他蒙古高官看上，便要让她跟他离去，所以元代之婚姻最为麻烦。在 明代，因为道家盛行，道家因研究房中术，所以社会之婚姻背景亦相当混乱麻烦。紫微斗数 却恰巧在此两个朝代盛行发展，且因此根据很多统计而对婚姻作出推断。因为曾经有过这一 段时期，故此用紫微斗数来推算婚姻，能够做到比较准确。
Chapter 18
Assessing Twins A commonly asked question of Destiny consultants, whether with the intention to provoke dispute, or out of a genuine desire to learn is: “How do you read charts for twins? Since the times are the same, does it not imply a same destiny?”. Psychology has long answered the behavioural issues between twins. Though genetically predisposed to have the same diseases, actual documentations of twins have showed that beyond that, they do not share much else in common by way of life. So then, is there any need at all in 紫微斗数to change the chinese hour for the later twin? We do not need to fudge the time parameter, but we perform one of the following operations. 1. After we have made the chart according to the input, the elder twin takes the original chart. With all the positions of the stars intact in the chart, we shift the domains using the Siblings Domain — 兄弟宫as the 命宫— Destiny Domain for the younger twin. Therefore, the younger twin has the positions of the twelve domains move one space like a dial in anticlockwise manner. 2. OR: The younger twin takes the original chart. The elder twin takes the chart with the positions of the twelve domains rotated one space clockwise. The stars are not rotated along with the domains. Choose whichever is suitable for that particular pair of twins. I must emphasize that throughout the entire treatise the stance we take has always been about obtaining accurate practical results rather than a theoretical argument about which would be correct. With the above method it is immediately apparent, merely from the 紫微斗数charts,that the personality and the trends in life for twins are never the same.

Decade and Annual Charts More often than not, on the first analysis - if your charting is right and you have recorded your birth data correctly - you might see things that don’t ”fit”. Remember when you are looking at your natal chart, you are seeing your life as a whole. That is many years squeezed into 12 boxes. Next, check the Decade chart. Where is the 10-year Self court located? What are the new transformations for these decade? Where are the flying stars? The Decade chart presents the life situation for a particular decade. It governs the mediumterm happenings and changes in the subject’s life. While the natal readings still hold true, this decade has its interesting events. Enjoy the good things, ignore the bad...no don’t ignore the bad, just bear them in mind, take steps to avoid the pitfalls but don’t mope over them. If you wish, you can try to analyse the 1-year charts. These describe the small changes, the ups and downs we face day to day. Annual readings are not suitable for use in long-term planning. There is no need to analyse them for detail, but very useful to get a feel for what is to come in a coming year, or trying to assess the reasons behind certain accidents etc.

Dual Stars The six stars led by 紫微, followed by 天机, 太阳, 武曲, 天同, 廉贞are placed in an anticlockwise sequence. Eight others are led by 天府, followed by 太阴, 贪狼, 巨门, 天相, 天梁, 七杀and 破军are laid out in a clockwise sequence. Due to the given positional relationships between the two leaders, the two sets of Major Stars cross path to form 24 possible dual Major Stars’ combinations. Since the relative positions of the stars in the two series are fixed, there can therefore only be 38 possible types of Major Stars for a domain - the sum of the 14 single stars and their 24 possible pairs. 紫府二主虽富贵 机阴文星忘恩人 禄存入官防排挤 仁慈之星忌逢煞 帝落奴位主奔波 魁钺破碎兼陀罗 天府加煞非君子 府戌逢禄垒千金 天机巳亥若加煞 破军文曜莫近水 七杀禄马祥可呈 鸾喜遇之须详酌 羊刃同位名血光 若为未婚不见忧 遇之莫带刑煞 魁钺本为贵人吉 先为贵来后反目 先吉后凶鲜少良 相为参酌各有妙 断缘桃花多添愁 墓并田宅聚财祥 财官禄权业早成 惟见科缠能解凶
不逢禄星终难显 博士逢文主聪明 双禄夹命财不缺 当防变节并有诈 巨逢羊陀主邪淫 贵人无力事不成 帝逢羊陀主邪僻 坐禄向马名利收 因酒误事莫贪杯 天同擎羊易遭伤 再见昌曲反流离 遇吉男女早婚成 四十后遇婚易变 男怕孤来女怕寡 半路生变独自伤 死墓绝地四十殃 巨门交友有蹊跷 日月双主并紫府 羊刃右弼同一位 计都虽然多悔咎 三吉化来细细看 忌星多生风波浪 权秤见之虽能制

CHAPTER 20. DUAL STARS 惟恐口舌是非多 禄忌相逢最嫌恶 多烦多愁宜自稳 命见不必先恐忧 细看得失一笑之 吉星未必能为福 凶煞岂是专作祸 文华本为吉星论 破耗桃花遇为灾 火铃虽为凶煞曜 能共桃花降福临 星中吉凶不单纯 细细端详道其中 莫苦执之不能悟 自误黑丝白发悔 笑得其中真道理 莫与时师苦苦争 学术修心行天道 积善之家庆有馀

“紫微七杀”为管理能力的象征；“紫微破军”则属于开创力的表征。因此亦主人辛劳，见 煞多劳身，见文曜则主劳心，这两组星系最宜见禄。不过“紫破”见禄，却又主其人事业多 变，许多情形下又主容易负担额外工作，无事奔忙。命斗戌紫微守事业宫不甚忌见四煞，仅 主竞争与忙碌，此为现代社会正常情形。倘四煞或三煞并照，又见刑忌耗曜，然后主一生屡 经重大的挫折。此以“紫微破军”在事业宫者尤然。“紫微天相”亦有相类的性质，不过主 动力较小，所以事业失败往往是受客观环境影响。 “紫微天相”守事业宫者最不宜从政，易受压力。

Star Combinations This chapter covers what is known as Ge Ju in chinese. 紫微斗数格局 紫微斗数格局 在学习紫微斗数的过程中，很多时也会听到别人称这是什麽格，那是什麽局，究竟在紫微斗 数中有那些格局呢？其代表的又会有何意义呢？大家在看了以下的讲解，便会一个清楚的概 念了。 紫微斗数之格局，是指某类星在某些宫位，以及某类星与某类星同宫或加会等等 情况，便显示出这种群群组合是属于某一型式的命运，或凶或吉、或贫或富、或贵或贱，或 吉凶皆有等。有时一种格局，同时它又可归于另一种格局，有时一个命盘群群组合可能会有 几种格局。定格局时在大多数情况下一定要以命宫三方四正来定，而不能把夫妻、子女、奴 、疾厄等宫位用来分析出格局。一般而言，一个人的命盘所得吉格越多，其人之富贵层次当 然出就越高，成就也就越大。 吉格、凶格、杂格： 紫府同宫格紫府朝垣格天府朝垣格君臣庆会格府相朝垣格 机月同梁格机梁加会格文梁振纪格巨日同宫格金灿光辉格 日照雷门格阳梁昌禄格明珠出海格月朗天门格日月并明格 月生沧海格寿星入庙格英星入庙格石中隐玉格七杀朝斗格 马头带箭格巨机同临格天乙拱命格三奇加会格权禄巡逢格 科权禄夹格双禄夹命格左右同宫格文桂文华格贪武同行格 三合火贪格贪铃朝垣格贵星夹命格廉贞文武格权煞化禄格 雄宿朝垣格辅拱文星格禄文拱命格禄合鸳鸯格双禄朝垣格 禄马佩印格禄马交驰格二曜同临格丹墀桂墀格甲第登庸格 科名会禄格极向离明格化星返贵格将星得地格日月照壁格 财禄夹马格明禄暗禄格科明禄暗格命无正曜格极居卯酉格 杀拱廉贞格巨逢四煞格马头带剑格命里逢空格天梁拱月格 文星遇夹格文星失位格科星煞凑格科星逢破格魁钺凶冲格 武贪守身格巨机化酉格刑囚夹印格月同遇煞格马落空亡格 梁马飘荡格生不逢时格禄逢两煞格日月藏辉格财与囚仇格 323
