"Eight Special and Prosperous Lu"

Original Text

八专日见前,或又添丙午、丁巳、戊辰、戊午、己巳、乙丑、壬子,而无丁未,六十甲子,独此干支同类,内甲寅、乙卯、庚申、辛酉四日自专禄旺为正,甲乙宜亥卯未寅月成木局,庚申宜巳酉丑申月成金局,为秀气纯而不杂,主为人聪明有寿,平生少病,多好酒色,柱有官煞,虽身强不畏,但混杂则禄不得专,终为有祸,八字带财印食为福,运行专禄旺乡财印食旺之地,皆发富贵,怕比肩、劫财,柱无财食官印,多孤,或为僧道。经云:「乾与支同,损财伤妻。」又云:「身旺无倚,定为僧为道」是也。若只一位禄,运行身旺财食印旺之地,亦主发贵。若并叠三四位禄而无财官,又取冲起对宫财福为用,或月时带官有气,以身旺逢官,尤为贵格。忌冲刑散我旺气,纵贵亦多生病。如朱文公庚戌、丙戌、甲寅、庚午,专禄得火局为食,二庚为煞,居火旺库,木秀得地,化煞为权,宜成大儒。董丞相己巳、辛未、乙卯、丁亥,专禄而得木局,全日乾聚生旺秀气,运行东方身旺局,全冲起对宫之禄为权,所以大贵。

Interpretation

When the eight - exclusive days are considered, some also add Bingwu, Dingsi, Wuchen, Wuwu, Jisi, Yichou, Renzi, but exclude Dingwei. Among the sixty Jiazi combinations, only these have the same Heavenly Stem and Earthly Branch. Among them, the four days of Jiayin, Yimao, Gengshen, and Xinyou are the genuine ones with exclusive prosperity of the stems' associated elements. For Jia and Yi, it is favorable to have the months of Hai, Mao, Wei, and Yin to form a Wood Bureau. For Geng and Shen, it is good to have the months of Si, You, Chou, and Shen to form a Metal Bureau. This indicates a pure and unadulterated elegance. It means that the person is intelligent and long - lived, usually has few illnesses, and is often fond of wine and women. If there are official and killing stars in the Bazi, although the person has a strong body and is not afraid of them, if they are mixed, the exclusive prosperity of the stems' associated elements will be affected, and there will eventually be disasters. If the Bazi has wealth, seals, and food - gods, it is a sign of good fortune. When the luck cycle reaches the prosperous areas of exclusive prosperity of the stems' associated elements, or the prosperous areas of wealth, seals, and food - gods, the person will achieve wealth and honor. They are afraid of the peer - stars and robbery - stars. If there is no wealth, food - gods, official stars, or seals in the Bazi, the person is often lonely or may become a monk or a Taoist priest. As the classic says: "When the Heavenly Stem and the Earthly Branch are the same, it will damage wealth and harm the wife." And it also says: "If one has a strong body but no support, one will surely become a monk or a Taoist priest." If there is only one exclusive prosperity of the stems' associated elements, and the luck cycle reaches the areas where the body is strong and the wealth, food - gods, and seals are prosperous, the person will also achieve honor. If there are three or four such exclusive prosperity of the stems' associated elements but no wealth or official stars, then one can take the activation of the wealth and fortune in the opposite palace as useful. Or if there are official stars with qi in the month or hour columns, and the body is strong and meets the official stars, it is an especially noble pattern. It is taboo to have clashes and punishments that disperse the prosperous qi. Even if the person is noble, they will often be ill. For example, Zhu Xi's Bazi is Gengxu, Bingxu, Jiayin, Gengwu. The exclusive prosperity of the stems' associated elements gets a Fire Bureau as the food - god, and the two Gengs are killing stars. They are located in the prosperous and storing place of Fire. The Wood is well - developed in its proper place, and it transforms the killing stars into power, so it is appropriate for him to become a great Confucian scholar. For Prime Minister Dong, his Bazi is Jisi, Xinwei, Yimao, Dinghai. The exclusive prosperity of the stems' associated elements gets a Wood Bureau. The entire Bazi has a gathering of prosperous and elegant qi. When the luck cycle runs in the East where the body is strong and the bureau is complete, it activates the wealth and honor in the opposite palace as power, so he attains great nobility.
