Bringing Misfortune to Husband and Son

Original Text

伤夫克子者，乃夫星干支失位，生月失时，柱中又逢冲克，时支亦不生扶，兼且印绶重逢盗夫之气，克子之甚，夫子不能旺，反绝于时是也。如一命：丙子、庚子、乙亥、丙子，乙木以庚金为夫星，十一月金寒水冷，又金死子地，支亥子水盗金气尽，柱无土生助伤官，木多，故伤其夫。乙木以丙火为子，引至子时，乃水旺火灭之地，虽年时干二火被群水相克，夫子皆亡，故曰伤夫克子。馀仿此推。

Interpretation

Those who harm their husbands and overcome their children are those whose husband stars have their stems and branches out of position, are born in an inauspicious month, and there are clashes and restraints in the pillar. The earthly branch of the hour also fails to support. Moreover, the seal characters appear repeatedly, stealing the qi of the husband star, causing great harm to the children. The husband and children cannot prosper but are in a state of decline at the hour. For example, in a certain horoscope: Bingzi, Gengzi, Yihai, Bingzi. For the Yi Wood, Geng Metal is the husband star. In the eleventh month, the metal is cold and the water is freezing. Also, the metal is in a state of death in the Zi position. The Hai and Zi waters in the branches steal all the qi of the metal. There is no Earth in the pillar to generate and assist the hurting officer, and there is an abundance of Wood, so it harms the husband. For the Yi Wood, Bing Fire is the child. When led to the Zi hour, it is a place where the water is strong and the fire is extinguished. Although there are two Fires in the stems of the year and hour, they are countered by a group of Waters. Both the husband and the child perish, so it is said to harm the husband and overcome the child. The rest can be deduced in the same way.
