Grand Luck and Annual Luck - 1
From now on, let's talk about practical applications. As long as you can memorize all the previous explanations about the Ten Gods' positioning, punishments, clashes, combinations, and conjunctions, you can flexibly apply them to any Bazi (Four Pillars of Destiny). For example: Female Birth Chart Ding You Gui Mao Bing Chen Bing Shen You'll notice that every Bazi consists of eight characters! From these eight characters, we can talk about numerous things, all based on what we've previously discussed. Especially in practical fortune - telling, when a person sits in front of you, whether you're a researcher or a professional in this field, they're waiting for your answer. You must be able to start giving an answer to them very quickly. How fast? Within two minutes! So you need to have the rules memorized. Where should you start? Start with the clashes, punishments, combinations, and conjunctions.
In the year and month, there are clashes between Ding and Gui, and between You and Mao. This is very obvious. If you can't memorize these two sets of rules, you simply won't be able to tell. With this double clash, don't even mention the details. One will definitely not have a peaceful life at the age of thirty. So, this large - scale situation has been identified first.
What about that time? It was Bingchen and Bingshen. In the eight characters, there are either obvious clashes, punishments, combinations, and conjunctions or hidden ones. People with a bit of experience can all tell that there is a Zi being arched between Bingshen and Bingchen, thus forming the Shen-Zi-Chen combination. Consequently, the Shen-Zi-Chen combination represents water. For the Bing Day Master, what does this combination represent? What does it represent in terms of the Ten Gods? It's the Seven Killings! This is a female's eight-character horoscope. At a glance, the answer regarding her marriage is already clear.
It's not just about the relationship between husband and wife when talking about the situation in the front! It includes the entire thirty years. Her family background is not high, and everything is included, including relatives and friends. She has achieved nothing! However, in the combination of Bingchen and Bingshen, they secretly "arch" the Zi (in the Chinese zodiac and five - element theory). When there is the combination of Shen, Zi, and Chen, it indicates the appearance of a husband. The "arching" here is a hidden one that others can't see. So the answer is that after the age of thirty - five, she will have a partner who exists in reality but has no formal status. "Reality" means that there is really a man, but there is no formal position for him because it is a hidden "arching" situation. This is analyzed from the perspective of the year.
Then, those with experience can tell at a glance that this is always the case because she has been insisting on it until her old age. Especially for a woman's marriage, it's very difficult to evaluate after she reaches the age of fifty. One can only tell whether she is married or not, and it's hard to judge whether the marriage is good or bad. This is obvious at a glance.
Then how should I talk to her? It's not about how I should talk, but about how she asks, when she came, and at what age she came. I'll know the answers in my mind. If she comes before the age of thirty, it's even difficult to have a long - term relationship with a boyfriend! After the age of thirty, she can have a partner, but without a proper status. This is the preliminary answer. This is about the eight - character birth chart, without considering the major cycles and the annual cycles.
So, based on this basic theory, when extending it to the structure of the annual luck cycle, in the past, I only talked about the combination of Shen, Zi, and Chen to form an arch around Zi, and the three - element combination would last until the end. Now, I'm extending it to the annual luck cycle. From now on, everyone should have a good understanding of the Sixty Jiazi! Even if you can't recite them, at least you should clearly know the years for this year, next year, and the year after next. Because in the combination of Shen, Zi, and Chen, there is a Zi in the middle. In the annual luck cycle, whenever it's a Shen, Zi, or Chen year, a three - element combination can be formed. With a Zi present, when it's a Shen year, Shen, Zi, and Chen form a combination. In the annual luck cycle, it arches around Zi, along with the major luck cycle, and it comes about in this way. When it's a Chen year, it's also related to the Shen, Zi, and Chen combination in the hourly pillar. If a woman comes to ask this year, this year is the Xinmao year, and next year is the Renchen year. Next year will be related to the Shen, Zi, and Chen combination. Doesn't this mean that there will be three such combinations in twelve years? Absolutely! This way of explanation is different from the previous ones and is more relaxed.
Previously, we said that when a woman's birth chart has combinations, she has good popularity. But we didn't mention in which year. You can also think about it. It's impossible for her to have good popularity every year. It's just an overall average to say she has good popularity. Well, in this case, she has a three - element combination once every three years. Does that mean she changes a man every three years? Not necessarily! Every three years, she will definitely encounter someone chasing her and calling her! She will surely encounter such a situation. Because of her personality, everyone likes to chat with her, as her birth chart inherently has three - element combinations. She will encounter such a situation once every three years. Then, in terms of the overall average, with such a high probability, in her lifetime, her marriage won't be just once. As for whether it's one, two, three, four, or five partners, we shouldn't view it from a moral perspective. There are obvious and hidden ones. If the official and killing stars are mixed in the Heavenly Stems, everyone knows about it, and she doesn't avoid it either. The mixing of official and killing stars refers to the Heavenly Stems, not the Earthly Branches. There are only two such situations in ten years. If there is a three - element combination in the Earthly Branches, it happens once every three years. So we tell her: You have good popularity and will have such an encounter once every three years. This is about probability. Some people know about it, while some don't. In terms of the overall average, it's quite normal for this woman to have three or five partners. That is, the "Zi" is the husband star.
In practical fortune - telling, it gets even more detailed. You can't just talk in general terms. Take a man as an example. Is he rich or poor? How does he treat her? These issues are still related to whether the Sanhe combination is in season or not. When Shen, Zi, and Chen form an arch with Zi, the Sanhe represents the Seven Killings, while arching Zi represents the Direct Officer, and these should be discussed separately. Everyone should understand that just talking about arching Zi, it represents an unacknowledged husband, and it's also a Sanhe of the Seven Killings. So, although he is an unacknowledged husband, she gets the treatment of a wife. I know this person. As far as I'm aware, she has had five or six boyfriends. Each of her boyfriends treats her like his own wife, on an equal footing, and they are open about it in public. She can even sit and chat with her boyfriend's wife. Because the arching of the husband results in a proper situation.
When discussing one's fate, besides talking about the process, we also need to talk about the actual situation. In terms of the annual cycles, for the Shen-Zi-Chen combination, it's the Shen-Zi-Chen combination. In the earlier stage, there are clashes, and in the later years, there are harmonious combinations. So, can she maintain a romantic relationship for three to five years, or can it only last for two or three months? We still need to look at the punishments and clashes. Everyone knows that when there is a harmonious combination with Zi, what is most feared? It's most feared to have Wu in the eight-character birth chart. If there is a Wu in the four pillars of the eight-character birth chart, the relationship won't even last for three years. Once there is a Wu, it will clash and break it up. If there is no Wu in the eight-character birth chart, and it's a harmonious combination with the husband star, then every three years in the annual cycles, there will be new people to tempt her. It's not that she will quarrel with her original partner. The problem lies with herself. So, some people come to ask me, in a husband-wife quarrel, who is right and who is wrong? If we explain it according to the current method of interpreting the eight-character birth chart, then it's the problem of this woman herself.
In the front, there is a double clash. She has a humble background and a bad temper. So, if we talk about the details, we look at the Heavenly Stems. There is a Rob Wealth at the Year Stem, so her father has no affinity with her and can't help her. The Western Metal Rooster at the Year Branch is the Proper Wealth. So after she was eight years old, her family's financial situation improved. Will they get rich? No, it's the Proper Wealth! It's limited, but the situation is better than before. When it comes to the Month Stem, it's okay. It's the Proper Officer. This woman was sensible at a young age and understood romantic feelings. With the Proper Officer at the Month Stem and its root in the Water Rat formed by the flanking, so she had more boyfriends than others in her twenties. There is an Eastern Wood Rabbit in the middle below. The Rabbit represents the Proper Seal, which symbolizes elegance. In terms of the Proper Officer sitting on the Proper Seal, it's actually a not - bad Bazi (Eight Characters of Birth), but there is a double clash! Due to the clash, they were separated by objective factors. When she reaches thirty, it's Bing, which is the Day Master. Now, my explanation is multi - faceted. I'm summarizing all the things I've talked about in the past.
I'd like to ask about the favorable and unfavorable elements for each day master. For the Bing day master, Ren is the favorable element. For her, the favorable elements are Ren and Jia. However, if there is no Ren but only Gui in the Heavenly Stems, and no Jia but only Yi, these two statements imply that all the things this woman does in her life are not what she truly wants, and she can't achieve her desired goals. But she can meet people. Since she doesn't have the favorable and unfavorable elements according to the day master, and she uses the Officer element instead of the Seven Killers element, will it be very chaotic? If a woman has been married two or three times and had five or three boyfriends, this is not chaos but rather an unsatisfactory situation. The so - called "chaos" means having two relationships at the same time, and that's chaotic. She won't be chaotic because there is no mixture of Officer and Seven Killers. It's all about the Officer element! So it's just a matter of constantly changing partners, which is different from chaos. Then the question arises: How can you tell? And how do you explain it? It depends on how she asks! If the other person asks me: Do you think I still have a chance to meet someone I can get along with in the future? Definitely! Or if she asks the other way around: Can my current boyfriend stay with me until the end? That's difficult. There will be changes. So the answer is mainly based on the question the other person asks. The answer is based on what I can tell from the Bazi.
If we only talk about marriage in this horoscope, it's always a relationship with substance but no formal name. It doesn't matter whether the other party has a wife or not. Even if the other party doesn't have a wife, they won't marry her; they'll just be together. Because the clash between the year and month columns in this horoscope is very severe. Then, Bing at the hour column is a peer. This peer here only indicates that she has a bit of personality. So, does she have money? There is proper wealth and also a bit of partial wealth. Shen is Geng, and Geng's prosperity is in Shen. When Bing meets Shen, it's partial wealth. If this person lives a natural lifespan, after the age of seventy, all the relationships between men and women before the age of sixty will come to an end, and she will have a bit of money in the end. Shen is Geng, and Geng is partial wealth. Where does this money come from? Shen, Zi, and Chen form an alliance with the killing element. This money comes from men. Now, when we talk about Shen, Zi, and Chen forming an alliance with the killing element, previously we explained that she has more than one man, secret lovers. This is about her marital situation. Because wealth generates the killing element, and wealth and the killing element are mixed together. This is not about her marital relationship but about the source of her wealth, which is from men. But she has to be able to live that long! As for whether the life is long or not, it depends on the clashes and punishments in the annual luck. No matter which horoscope it is, the explanation is the same. From a theoretical perspective, it takes about ten minutes to analyze this horoscope. If we look at this horoscope from a professional perspective, it only takes about half a minute. Then we can directly and appropriately answer the other party's questions.
In this Bazi (Eight Characters of Birth), the key point is the clash first and then the combination. For all fates with the pattern of clash first and then combination, things will turn from bad to good. This Bazi doesn't mention her major fortune cycles, and it directly assesses based on her natal chart itself. If we talk about the current year in terms of the flowing year, what year is it? It's the Year of Xinmao! All the discussions about the past are just part of the life process. The most important thing is this year. On the year pillar of her Bazi, it's Dingyou. Xinmao and Dingyou are in a double clash! There is a clash between Gui and Ding, and a clash between Mao and You. So, this whole year will be full of setbacks! Whether it's the relationship between men and women, the relationship with money, or the relationship with family affairs, all of them are affected. That is what we call "offending the Grand Duke Jupiter".
When the current year's energy clashes with the Four Pillars of Destiny, it can clash with the year pillar, the month pillar, the day pillar, and also the hour pillar. When the current year clashes with the Tai Sui, and whenever the current year's energy clashes with the elements in the birth chart, both old and new matters are intertwined, and it doesn't happen suddenly. However, when looking at the influence of the current year, one can't just focus on this year. Maybe last year was even worse; we can't be sure. The unfavorable situation this year might even be considered lucky! So, one must start looking from last year. Whether there is a clash or not, one should start from last year. So, what was last year? It was the Year of Gengyin. As per the old rules, when we look at the Four Pillars of Dingyou, Guimao, Bingchen, and Bingshen in relation to Gengyin, it's obvious that there is a double clash. Geng and Bing are in conflict, and Yin and Shen clash. Originally, there was a three - combination, but then it encountered a double clash. There is a rule in the study of the influence of the current year, called "arch - combination and clash of the side". The rules for the current year are different from those of the birth chart itself and are more detailed. What does "arch - combination and clash of the side" mean? Originally, it's like an arch; it's like a pair of chopsticks holding something firmly. If you knock one chopstick away, it's not just about that one chopstick. The thing being held will fall. This is what is meant by "arch - combination and clash of the side". This is more complicated than a single clash. Originally, the arch represented the husband star, and when its side is clashed, like Gengyin clashing with Bingshen, we're not just talking about the Five Elements here; we're talking about the Ten Gods. The husband star is being clashed away! Originally, it was already in a hidden state. So, there were serious family affairs last year, specifically related to male - female relationships.
