Floating Moon -1

Then let's continue to study the monthly luck, which is more detailed than the annual luck. There are twelve months in a year. You say that there is a clash in this year's annual luck. For example, there is a clash between Chen and Xu. For beginners of the Four Pillars of Destiny who have just started to receive clients, it usually takes about three years. Just based on these two characters, Chen represents the third month and Xu represents the ninth month. Directly focusing on the third and ninth months is a rather rough and vague approach. When it comes to discussing the monthly luck, we need to add a little new foundation. Previously, I only talked about four sets of rules - punishment, clash, combination, and convergence; the generation and restraint of the ten gods; the prosperity and decline of the ten heavenly stems; and the representation of relatives. For amateurs who really want to talk about the Four Pillars of Destiny with friends, whether you charge money or not, these four sets of rules are not enough. Two more sets need to be added. Why didn't I talk about them together at that time? I was afraid that you wouldn't be able to absorb them all at once. Some people take a year to get familiar with these four sets of rules! The two additional sets are the hidden heavenly stems in the earthly branches and the relationship between the ten gods in the heavenly stems and the Day Master. As soon as you look at the Four Pillars of Destiny, you should immediately know whether the five elements are complete or not, what kind of pattern it belongs to. Is it not just a clash between Zi and Wu? How does the clash occur among the relatives? Is it prosperous or in decline?

If you can't recite the hidden Heavenly Stems in the Earthly Branches, your speed will slow down. After one year, the first thing is to add the hidden Heavenly Stems in the Earthly Branches. If you want to talk about the annual luck, you also need to know the Sixty Jiazi. It's very troublesome to recite the Sixty Jiazi. However, for ordinary people, we don't require them to recite it. Just knowing about two or three years is enough. For example, this year is the Year of Xinmao, last year was the Year of Gengyin, and next year will be the Year of Renchen. But if you want to talk about the monthly luck, you must be able to recite the Sixty Jiazi. When you try to recite it with difficulty, don't start from Jiazǐ. Start from this year. When it comes to the monthly luck, I'd like to specially supplement a point for you. How do the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches of the monthly luck in each year come out? The Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches of the monthly luck are called the "Five Tigers Evasion". When the Heavenly Stems are Jia or Ji, the first month starts from Bingyin. For example, in the Year of Xinmao, the first month is Gengyin, the second month is Xinmao, and so on for the twelve months. Well, the good and bad luck of the monthly luck is a little different from calculating the eight characters of one's birth date. It only covers one month. The things it determines are all things from the past, but they are decided in this month. I'll give you the most inappropriate analogy. You won't suddenly decide to kill someone with a knife out of the blue. There must be some factors. A person can't go bankrupt overnight. There are many, many factors from the past. So the monthly luck can be explained as, for example, a rope that is bound to break. Where will it break? At the weakest point.

Before talking about the flowing monthly stems and branches, it is necessary to clarify the relationship between the flowing monthly stems and branches, the four pillars of the birth chart, the major luck cycles, and the flowing years. Whether one can recite them is another matter. First, let's talk about the flowing monthly stems and branches. For example, in the Xinmao year, the first lunar month is the Gengyin month, which also consists of two stems and branches. There is no relationship between the Gengyin month and the four pillars of the birth chart within this month. The Gengyin month clashes with the Bingshen. If there is Bingshen in the birth chart, or if there is a double combination with Yihai and there is Yihai in the birth chart, it doesn't matter. Why is there no relationship between the flowing monthly stems and branches and the birth chart? As we all know, there are twelve months in a year and a total of sixty groups of stems and branches. As long as one has a little basic knowledge, they know that the heavenly stems of the flowing months will cycle back every five years. For example, this year is the Gengyin month in the Xinmao year. After another five years, regardless of what the heavenly stem is, it will still be the Gengyin month. So the flowing monthly stems and branches are fixed to repeat every five years. If there were a relationship with the clashes and punishments in the birth chart, it would become a fixed cycle of good and bad luck. Therefore, there is no relationship between the flowing monthly stems and branches and the birth chart. However, there is a relationship between the flowing years and the birth chart, as well as the major luck cycle's stems and branches.

So the heavenly stems and earthly branches of the current flowing month coexist with those of this year's flowing year! Everyone must know that in the year of Jiazǐ, the month must be Gengwǔ. The clash between Jia and Geng and the clash between Zi and Wu don't pertain to just one individual. Every person in the world experiences the month of Gengwǔ in the year of Jiazǐ, regardless of who they are! Therefore, the heavenly stems and earthly branches of the flowing month have no relation to one's eight - character birth chart itself, nor do they have any relation to the flowing year itself. So, it can be said that the heavenly stems and earthly branches of the flowing month are only related to the major luck cycle.

Generally, one should start by looking at the relationship between the flowing month and the major luck period. That is to say, if you are in the major luck period of Jiazi and encounter the flowing month of Gengwu, something will happen this month. What kind of thing? Past events will erupt this month. Originally, many years of old scores have passed, but in this month, a more serious situation will occur. In terms of the Five - Elements theory, it is predestined in one's fate. In terms of personality, there is a saying in the fortune - telling books: When a person is in a situation of conflict and punishment, they will be in a state of confusion and restlessness. They don't even realize it themselves. When a person encounters a conflicting year, they will be irritable and impatient. They will fly into a rage over the slightest thing. If it is a year of Sanhe or Shuanghe combinations, they will be calm and composed. Even when facing very troublesome things, they will have a relaxed and pleasant mood. Therefore, the flowing month is most afraid of conflicting with the major luck period.

Of course, we need to know that this year is the year of Xinmao in the sexagenary cycle. After Gengyin, there are Xinmao, Renchen, Guisi, Jialu, Yivei, Bing Shen... There are twelve months in total. Even if you can't recite them all, when people only ask about the current situation, you only need to look at the flowing monthly pillars and the major luck pillars. The flowing monthly pillars start from the Beginning of Spring. Next year is the year of Renchen. Those who are familiar with the rules know that the first lunar month is the month of Renyin, followed by Guimao all the way to Guichou. When the stems and branches of the twelve - month flowing monthly pillars conflict with the major luck pillars, something will happen. When it comes to the flowing monthly pillars and the major luck pillars, we don't really focus on the ten gods and the states of prosperity and decline because of the limited time. We only look at three things regarding the flowing monthly pillars and the major luck pillars: Firstly, the monthly luck coincides with the major luck. When encountering the major luck pillar of Gengyin and the flowing monthly pillar of Gengyin, it means that the flowing monthly pillar is the same as the major luck pillar. If this is applied to the eight - character horoscope, it is called "Fuyin". This year is the year of Xinmao. If there is Xinmao in your eight - character horoscope, it is also "Fuyin". When the flowing monthly pillar is the same as the major luck pillar, it is called that the monthly luck coincides with the major luck.

Second, the monthly fortune is in a state of "opposing clash". For example, in the Gengyin month and the Bingshen major fortune period, it means that the flowing month and the major fortune are in a double clash.

Thirdly, when the current month and the major luck period form a double combination, generally, a double combination is considered good anywhere, but when the current month forms a double combination with the major luck period, it is regarded as unfavorable. Let's still take the example of Gengyin. If the major luck period is Yihai and the current month is Gengyin, then it's not good. In the process of analyzing a person's fortune, no matter how high one's destiny is, including ancient emperors, generals, and ministers, they will also have bad luck three times in five years. This is a matter related to the current month, and it's very fair. Many officials just have their bad luck unknown to others. It's inevitable to encounter such situations within five years. When discussing major events or immediate matters, we should look at the current month, not the current year.

If there is no conflict or punishment in the flowing month, but only in the major fortune, it means that there will be trivial and fragmented matters that are dragged on and cannot be resolved. If there is conflict or punishment in the flowing month, and there is also conflict in the monthly pillar, then the focus lies on this month. Everyone has experienced that a single month's oversight can make you confused for a whole year. Therefore, the flowing year can have an impact on the four pillars and the major fortune simultaneously, while the flowing month only affects the major fortune. So, when analyzing the flowing year, if there is a double conflict this year, it is regarded as a bad flowing year. If there is no conflict this year, but there are two or three bad flowing months within this year, it is also regarded as a bad flowing year. Usually, these problems come unexpectedly and suddenly. Therefore, when it comes to the flowing month, you must have a good understanding of the sixty Jiazi. However, before you are very familiar with them, you should keep the sixty Jiazi table beside you so that you can refer to it for comparison.

For example, in the Jiazǐ Grand Luck cycle, when you encounter a year with the combination of Wù and Guǐ, then in the Jiazǐ month of the years like Jiǎyín, Yǐmǎo, Bǐngchén, Dīngsì, when the Jiazǐ Luck meets the Jiazǐ month, this is what we call the "Same Path of Monthly and Grand Luck". After just five months, it will be the Gēngwǔ month. Gēngwǔ is in a double - clash relationship with Jiazǐ. Everyone can tell at a glance how far apart they are. There is a difference of six groups of Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches, which is 180 days. Such an opportunity will definitely occur once within five years. Well, there is a Chinese saying: "Misfortunes never come singly", which refers to this situation. Misfortunes can come singly or not. If someone comes to ask me during the Jiazǐ month, which is the 11th lunar month, I won't tell him that the matter is over. Instead, I'll say it has just begun because I know there is still the Gēngwǔ month later. If he comes to ask me during the Gēngwǔ month, then I can tell him that it will end after the Wǔ month. This is the "Same Path of Monthly and Grand Luck" and the "Counter - Resonance of Monthly Luck", with a distance of 180 days between them.

So, generally speaking, within five years, one is bound to encounter an event that cannot be resolved within half a year, regardless of whether you hold a high - ranking or low - ranking official position. But how big or small is this event? It cannot be determined by the flowing months. When inquiring about matters, usually the month is the main reference. Those who haven't learned about the flowing months can only talk about the year. Well, those who understand the flowing months! They talk about the months. If two flowing months are bad, it's equivalent to the whole year being bad.

You may be able to say that a whole year is not good, but you may not be able to say which month is bad. Everyone, if you use a computer to calculate the eight characters of one's birth, pay a bit more attention to the comparison between the annual fortune and the monthly fortune. In the past, one had to calculate the eight characters by oneself. Now it's much more convenient with a computer. In the years with the Heavenly Stems of Jia and Ji, the first month starts with Bingyin; in the years with the Heavenly Stems of Yi and Geng, the first month starts with Wuyin. At least for the twelve months of this year, even if you can't memorize them, you should be able to look them up. Immediately compare them with the major fortune, and then you'll know whether this year will be smooth or not. However, you won't be able to tell the specific events and their severity. So, in the monthly fortune, remember three key points: the monthly fortune going in the same direction, the monthly fortune in opposition, and the monthly fortune in double harmony. Of course, there are other aspects, but I'll talk about these first.
