Keep Quiet and Know One's Place

Original Text

安静守分，乃夫星有气，日乾自旺，相停无克，不值刑冲，财食得所者是也，如一命：癸巳、庚申、乙卯、丁亥，乙坐卯专禄自旺，又得时支亥字合局，是本身旺也。以庚金为夫，七月庚禄得申，又得年支巳火为金长生之地，是夫星旺也。亥中壬水，夫之食神天厨，故主夫食天禄。此乃自己夫星两不相伤，各乘旺气，无混乱相侵，夫妇偕和，安静守分格也。

Interpretation

Remaining calm and content with one's lot refers to a situation where the star representing the husband has positive energy, the daily stem is self - prosperous, the elements are in balance without相克 (mutual restraint), there are no punishments or clashes, and the wealth and food elements are properly placed. For example, consider a birth chart with the following combination: the year is Guisi, the month is Gengshen, the day is Yimao, and the hour is Dinghai. The Yi wood sits on the Mao branch, which represents exclusive good fortune and self - prosperity. Moreover, it forms a combination with the Hai branch at the hour, indicating that the self is prosperous. Taking Geng metal as the star representing the husband, in the seventh month, Geng has its proper place in Shen, and the Si fire at the year branch is the place of Geng's birth and growth, which means the husband - star is prosperous. The Ren water in the Hai branch is the husband's food - god, representing the heavenly kitchen, so it indicates that the husband will enjoy the imperial salary. In this case, the self and the husband - star do not harm each other. Each is in a prosperous state, without chaos or encroachment. The husband and wife are harmonious, which is the pattern of remaining calm and content with one's lot.
