Floating Moon -3

So, regarding the several rules for analyzing the eight characters of one's birth date, each of them has its own uses, and there is no distinction of importance. It completely depends on the other person's wishes. However, during classes, we can view them equally and teach according to the textbooks. We look at the eight characters themselves, the major luck cycles, the annual luck, and the monthly luck. We can consider all of them. As for which one to use, it varies from person to person. Well, these several rules are just like the oil, salt, soy sauce, and vinegar in the kitchen. We need to have them all!

Now, I'm going to give real examples. Starting from the eight characters of one's birth date, I'll explain every step of the major luck cycles. Usually, I'll cover six steps of the major luck. I'll discuss the wife, wealth, children, official salary, and lifespan separately. This is the standard for a detailed lifelong fortune analysis. Then, I'll talk about the annual luck. I can only use it as a sample because it's too long. A fortune-telling book can be forty or fifty pages long, or even sixty or seventy pages. Well, the previous part together is probably five to ten pages. Because if you can write about two years of annual luck, you can write about twenty years of it! Then, in the last class, I'll compile it into a fortune-telling book and explain all the theories step by step. This is both analyzing and explaining. Before this stage, we'll only explain without making a detailed analysis, just following a certain order.

Now, let's take an example. This example can also be found in *Detailed Explanation of Female Horoscopes: A Combined Edition of the General Principles of Female Horoscopes*. Well, we won't just read from the book. Here is a horoscope: Xin Mao, Bing Shen, Wu Shen, Ren Zi. All the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches are written down, including the Ten Gods and the Major Luck Cycles. Now, if we want to talk about her husband, wealth, children, and official fortune, and also discuss each step of her Major Luck Cycle and the Annual Luck Cycles. Now, it's like she doesn't need to ask. If she does ask, I'll just answer according to the key points. I'll use this as a teaching material to discuss. Regarding these eight characters, everyone should remember this kind of eight - character horoscope analysis book! There is a certain scope, just like cooking. What's the first thing to do? First, heat up the fire, then put some oil, and then the other steps follow! The most important topic in horoscope analysis. We've given an example before, but at that time, we didn't talk about the Monthly Luck Cycles. Now, let's make it more specific. The first thing is to distinguish what the Five - Element of the Day Master is. The Five - Element of the Day Master represents your character and your hobbies. Whether you're rich or poor, your character won't change. When you're unlucky, you like spicy food. Even after you get rich, you still like spicy food. If you like the color red, you'll like it all your life. This is the Five - Element of the Day Master.

This is the day master of Wu (Earth). When we look at the five - elements of the day master of Wu, we immediately think of the likes and dislikes of the ten Heavenly Stems that we talked about before. Wu Earth represents city - wall earth, thick earth, or the embankment earth by the river, which is prepared to withstand the impact. In terms of ethics, it represents trustworthiness and is very reliable. However, being trustworthy doesn't necessarily lead to success. One can also succeed without being trustworthy! Trustworthiness is its main theme. So, what does Wu (Earth) need? As I mentioned before: a mountain must have trees. How can a bare mountain be acceptable? We know that this person needs the support of the masses. It doesn't mean that you have a lot of subordinates. For example, if I run a buffet restaurant, don't I rely on the masses? If I'm selling diamonds, I can't rely on the masses. Otherwise, it would be a disaster to have a large crowd gathered around!

So, when a tree is planted in the soil, how deep can its roots go? At most, twenty zhang (a Chinese unit of length) is considered a very long distance! So, this is not about long - term business but a fixed pattern. Then, what about good fortune and bad fortune? First, look at bad fortune. See if one has bad fortune first instead of immediately checking if one has good fortune. Why? There are very few people with good fortune, and most people have ordinary fortune. So, the first thing is to see if the Five Elements are complete. One doesn't necessarily have to follow this order exactly. In general, one should start with the most convenient aspect.

If the day master is Bing, this person's success or failure is all because of his politeness. If the day master is Jin, regardless of success or failure, he meddles in other people's affairs and is loyal. The day master of Water is self - promoting. The day master of Earth is very trustworthy. This is one of its characteristics. Why should we prioritize checking whether the Five Elements are complete? Whether male or female, the most feared thing is the absence of the most important element. For a male's eight - character horoscope, he fears the absence of the element representing wife and wealth. For a female's eight - character horoscope, she fears the absence of the element representing husband, which is the Officer and Seven Killings. If a male's eight - character horoscope lacks the element of wife and wealth, it's useless no matter what you say! If the couple relationship is bad and there is not enough money, it will be a headache for a lifetime. The same goes for women. If there is no Officer and Seven Killings in the four pillars (including those hidden in the earthly branches), there will be no marriage. You see, among Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth, check if they exist in this eight - character horoscope. As long as they do, it's okay. A bad couple relationship is different from having no couple at all. First, they need to exist. When you see that the day master of this eight - character horoscope belongs to Earth, it means the person is very steady. If the Five Elements are complete, then next, check if there are clashes, punishments, combinations, or unions. Once there is a clash, it's like writing in a moving car. No matter how you write, the pen will go crooked, and you simply can't write properly!

Then, looking at this Bazi (Eight Characters in Chinese astrology), there is no clash between Mao and Shen, nor between Shen and Zi. So, this person won't encounter long - lasting disasters in their life, but it doesn't mean they have a good fortune. This is the first point. The second point is about the combinations. In this Bazi, there are new things to add! As our ancient people said: "One can never stop learning throughout one's life." I still have things to learn. For example, when you look at the Bazi: the combination of Bing and Xin is easy to understand. There are double combinations in the year and month columns. At first glance, Mao and Shen below seem to have no relation, but those who have studied fortune - telling for more than three years know that Mao and Shen can also combine. There is no such statement in the books. This is the combination of Heavenly Stems representing Earthly Branches. The Lu (auspicious position) of Yi is at Mao, and the Lu of Geng is at Shen. Since the Heavenly Stems Yi and Geng can combine, the Earthly Branches Mao and Shen can also combine. This is called substitution! So, in this Bazi, there are both obvious and hidden combinations in the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches. Everyone knows about obvious combinations. Hidden combinations also bring benefits, but they are hidden. Let me give an inappropriate example to make it easier to understand. For example, if I want to give you money but can't do it directly, I invite you to play mahjong and pretend to lose money to you. This is a hidden combination! Hidden combinations are beneficial to you, but it's not stated directly; it's done in a roundabout way. Since there are obvious and hidden combinations in the year and month columns, the good and bad fortune of this Bazi comes into play. You will have good popularity before the age of thirty. Good popularity doesn't necessarily mean having tens of millions or millions of dollars, but it's always helpful to you. So, in this Bazi, things will go smoothly before the age of thirty. How smooth? Well, we need to refer to the common sense in fortune - telling I mentioned earlier. There are limitations. How much money can one have before the age of thirty? It's impossible to get rich. At most, one can achieve success at a young age. This is based on the division by the year and month columns. If according to my previous way of speaking, how should I tell you? It depends on your age! When doing fortune - telling, we must distinguish whether it's a man or a woman, because men and women have different stances in life. This is a woman. For a woman, her husband comes first! For those with Wu as the Day Master, Jia and Yi are regarded as husbands, which is based on the basic positioning of the Ten Gods. Since we are analyzing the Bazi, I will refer to what I've mentioned before. For the Wu Day Master, Jia is related to the Day Master's like and dislike. Jia is the Seven Killings, and Yi is the Direct Official. When it comes to the Husband Star, Jia and Yi are the same, but when it comes to the Day Master's like and dislike, they are different. The Wu Day Master prefers to take Jia, the Seven Killings, as the Husband Star. But in this Bazi, there is no Jia, only Yi. So, when discussing the Husband Star, we need to analyze it from two aspects. Whether there is money or not is one aspect, and whether one likes it or not is another aspect.

If a female with Wu as the Day Master takes Jia as her husband, the partner is someone she likes. Even if the couple sets up a street stall together, they will still be very affectionate. If she takes Yi as her husband now, it's not someone the Day Master likes, but she can still spend her whole life with him. It depends on the condition, that is, whether the Husband Star is prosperous or not. Well, this Bazi clearly shows that there is no preference of the Day Master, and only Yi is left. So, is it prosperous or not? Mao represents Yi. Then we need to use the concepts of Lu and Jue. Wood is in the state of Jue in Shen and You. Here we are talking about the conditions. Jia is in the state of Jue in Shen, and Yi is in the state of Jue in You. Both Shen and You are the states of Husband Jue for her. So, there won't be major problems with this woman's partner, but the conditions are not high! The Month Pillar is Bing Shen. Starting from the age of 22, it means the husband is sitting in the state of Jue. The Day Pillar Wu Shen also means the husband is sitting in the state of Jue. The book "Detailed Explanation of Female Bazi · General Theory of Female Bazi (Combined Edition)" mentions the Earth Monkey sitting on Husband Jue by itself. Well, it's talking about the conditions!

We also see very wealthy couples in society having a complete mess. I've also seen a couple selling newspapers together under an umbrella, and they are very affectionate. I've been seeing them for five or six years, still selling newspapers. Although they haven't gotten rich, it's still good. So, for this situation! The man doesn't have high requirements, but they get along very well and are very compatible. Why do we say they are compatible? Everyone, take thirty seconds to think about it. The problem is the combination of Mao and Shen. The answer lies in the hidden combination. The husband star is Yimao. Yimao combines with Shen. The husband star combines in the husband palace. It's a combination of Mao and Shen until the age of forty - five. There are no complaints. It's the standard of "marry a rooster and follow the rooster, marry a dog and follow the dog", and it only ends at the age of forty - five. Now, what we're talking about is the Bazi, not the major fortune. We'll talk about the major fortune separately. Good fortune can interfere with you, and bad fortune can also make things bad for you! As long as it comes at the right time. For example, in terms of marriage, the best period for the major fortune is from the age of twenty to fifty. It doesn't really matter if it's good at other times. Well, from birth, she has a good popularity. After getting married, there are no major perils. Her income is probably around thirty - five thousand to fifty thousand dollars now, and it will be like this until the age of forty - five.

So, what happened in her later years? The heavenly stem at the hour pillar represents partial wealth, and the earthly branch represents regular wealth. The Renzi combination indicates a position of prosperous wealth. Therefore, without considering the major and minor luck cycles, just based on the eight characters of the birth chart, she would have money after the age of forty - five. Usually, when fortune - telling, people only ask whether you have money or not. It's not very specific about where the money comes from because there are some personal moral aspects that are not convenient to inquire about. At most, people are classified into the four occupations of scholars, farmers, artisans, and merchants, and sometimes it's even hard to distinguish. Generally, wealth can be divided into regular wealth and partial wealth. In this birth chart, there is partial wealth at the hour pillar. Since she is a woman, it can't be interpreted as a woman helping you out! Partial wealth means unexpected gains. Before the age of forty - five in that birth chart, there were no clashes or punishments, and everything was peaceful. She was a typical well - behaved woman.

Will she have an affair? No. Why not? In this Bazi (Eight Characters of Birth), when there are Shen, Zi, and Chen, seeing You is considered a peach blossom. There is no You in the Bazi, so there is no peach blossom. However, even without a peach blossom in the Bazi, it can appear in the major and minor luck cycles. Since she has Mao in her Bazi, and Mao and You are in conflict. Even if she encounters a peach blossom, it will be washed away. Moreover, having Mao in the year branch and it being in conflict with the peach blossom indicates this person's character. She has been repulsed by the chaos between men and women since her teens. Now, let's talk about the partial wealth. Judging from common sense, for example, if she runs a beauty salon, that is partial wealth. I don't know how much it costs for a woman to wash her hair or how much it is for real beauty makeup. You can just say it could be five thousand or ten thousand. This is partial wealth.

Assuming that she graduated from a medical school, then she is a doctor. In the past, she was an unlucky doctor. After the age of 45, she'll be lucky! The earthly branch of the hour represents the direct wealth, so her situation will become stable. Even if she opens a hospital, she won't work as a doctor herself! She'll be the boss! Just collect the money. Well, that's the interpretation of this Bazi (Eight Characters in Chinese fortune - telling) itself. Before the age of 45, her husband couldn't do much. After the age of 45, does the money come from her husband, from herself, or from her children? We need to look at the major luck cycles. Anyway, it's true that she'll be rich in her later years. Then you may ask how much money this person can have at most. She won't have hundreds of millions, because there is no favorable element for regulating the climate and no indication of the favorable and unfavorable elements for the day - master in her Bazi. It's just that the wealth and official stars are in their proper season. When analyzing this Bazi, we should also add a little bit of polite remarks. For example, for those with Wu as the day - master, is there Wu hidden in the earthly branches? In Shen, there are Wu, Geng, and Ren. She has two Wu, which means she is strong and confident. This person is very confident from the age of 16 to 45. Whether she has money or not has nothing to do with confidence. She has a good fate. Whether she is confident or not, she'll have money. If one has a bad fate, being confident or having ambition is of no use. However, influenced by the tradition of ancient scholars, we believe that one should have ambition, regardless of whether one can achieve success or not! As long as I have ambition, it sounds very decent, and this idea has been passed down to the present.

Now, she has a bit of her own opinion. Then we have to talk about what kind of Bazi pattern she has! Last year, there was Xin as the Hurting Officer, but there was no Hurting Officer in the earthly branches, so the Hurting Officer pattern didn't form. The second Bing character is the Partial Seal, and there is no Bing in the earthly branches, so the Partial Seal pattern also didn't form. Then there is only Renzi left. There are Wu, Geng, and Ren in Shen, so she has the Partial Wealth pattern. What I just talked about individually according to the literal meaning is that she won't have a way out until she is forty - five years old. After forty - five, she will.

Then think about it carefully. Did she want to get rich at the age of sixteen? Did she still want to get rich starting from thirty? However, she only got rich at forty - five, or maybe this person never thought about getting rich and just inexplicably became wealthy at forty - five. Which of these three situations does she belong to? There is partial wealth in the monthly branch. She never cared what her husband did before. The root was planted when she was in her twenties, but she just couldn't make it work and stumbled along. The root connects to the monthly branch and the daily branch, and finally she achieved success after forty - five. Therefore, the conditions of the previous thirty years were elevated because she has a connected root there, but she just couldn't succeed. Then, in terms of the pattern, it is a partial wealth pattern.

Then it follows that the conditions mentioned above for the positioning of the Ten Gods apply! A person with a Partial Wealth Pattern is a filial daughter. The level of the Partial Wealth Pattern is quite low. Without the presence of Siblings, there won't be bankruptcy. We've seen so many such cases, but there's no need to go into too much detail. It's like when we teach cooking, we don't really use a scale to measure exactly how many grams of sugar and how many grams of salt to use. We just give a general idea.
