"Balance and Fortune" Note: "冲合禄马" is a term with specific cultural and traditional connotations in Chinese culture, and this is a relatively general and approximate translation to convey the general idea. The exact meaning may need more context for a more accurate rendering.

Original Text

如甲日生人，柱无酉辛丑，有卯多冲酉，巳酉合丑为甲日正官，喜壬癸生助，忌酉辛填实，若止一卯字，再有刑合起亦为好命。乙日生人柱无申庚，却有寅冲申，子辰合拱或巳刑出，为乙正官，喜壬癸生助，忌申庚填实。戊日生人柱无卯乙，却有酉冲卯，亥未合卯，戊得官星，喜壬癸财、丙丁印，忌见卯乙。己日生人柱无寅甲，却有申冲寅，午戌合寅即暗有官星，喜财、印，忌见寅甲。丙丁二日即倒冲禄马格，庚辛壬癸四日即飞天禄马格，以例推之。以上四乾冲合，皆忌官星明露及受伤，月令得官乘旺为妙，冲神遇合，不逢羁绊，必登清贵将相公侯，缺一则减分数，破则近贵衣食，甚者贫乏，岁运喜忌同。《巫宝经》云：乙用庚与申为夫，柱无，却有子辰二字，则能合起申中之庚为乙官星，有此不必再要寅字去冲，有寅更妙，柱无子辰，乃取冲出。甲寅、乙卯、丙午、丁未、戊午、己未、庚申、辛酉、壬子、癸亥，以上十日本身健旺，冲禄元最紧，壬辰、壬戌、戊辰、己丑，冲禄则慢，其馀干不用如明神宗：癸亥、辛酉、癸亥、辛酉，主本癸亥健旺，冲出巳中丙戊禄马为癸用，却得二酉合住为妙。

Interpretation

For example, for those born on a day with the Heavenly Stem of Jia, if there is no You, Xin, or Chou in the Bazi columns, and there are many Mao characters that clash with You, and Si and You combine with Chou to form the proper official star for the Jia day. They like the support of Ren and Gui, and dislike the appearance of You and Xin to fill the positions. If there is only one Mao character, and it is activated through punishment or combination, it is also considered a good fate. For those born on a day with the Heavenly Stem of Yi, if there is no Shen or Geng in the Bazi columns, but there is Yin that clashes with Shen, or Zi and Chen combine to form an arch or Si punishes to bring out the relevant element, it forms the proper official star for Yi. They like the support of Ren and Gui, and dislike the appearance of Shen and Geng to fill the positions. For those born on a day with the Heavenly Stem of Wu, if there is no Mao or Yi in the Bazi columns, but there is You that clashes with Mao, and Hai and Wei combine with Mao, Wu gets the official star. They like the wealth stars Ren and Gui and the seal stars Bing and Ding, and dislike seeing Mao and Yi. For those born on a day with the Heavenly Stem of Ji, if there is no Yin or Jia in the Bazi columns, but there is Shen that clashes with Yin, and Wu and Xu combine with Yin, there is an implicit official star. They like the wealth and seal stars, and dislike seeing Yin and Jia. For those born on days with the Heavenly Stems of Bing and Ding, it is the pattern of reverse - clashing with the prosperity stars; for those born on days with the Heavenly Stems of Geng, Xin, Ren, and Gui, it is the pattern of flying prosperity stars. The rest can be deduced by analogy. In the above four cases of clashing and combination among the four Heavenly Stems, it is all taboo for the official star to be clearly revealed or damaged. It is excellent if the official star in the monthly order is prosperous. If the clashing element meets with combination and is not restricted, one will surely achieve high - ranking positions such as generals, prime ministers, or nobles. If one condition is lacking, the fortune will be reduced. If it is damaged, one can still be close to the nobles and have enough food and clothing; in the worst - case scenario, one will be poor. The likes and dislikes in the annual and monthly luck are the same. The "Wu Bao Jing" says: For Yi, Geng and Shen are regarded as the husband stars. If they are absent in the Bazi columns, but there are Zi and Chen, they can combine to bring out Geng in Shen as the official star for Yi. With this, there is no need for Yin to clash, but having Yin is even better. If there are no Zi and Chen in the columns, then rely on clashing to bring out. The ten days of Jia Yin, Yi Mao, Bing Wu, Ding Wei, Wu Wu, Ji Wei, Geng Shen, Xin You, Ren Zi, and Gui Hai are days when the Heavenly Stems are strong and prosperous, and clashing with the prosperity stars is of the utmost importance. For the days of Ren Chen, Ren Xu, Wu Chen, and Ji Chou, clashing with the prosperity stars is less significant. For the other Heavenly Stems, it doesn't apply. For example, for Emperor Shenzong of the Ming Dynasty, with the Bazi of Gui Hai, Xin You, Gui Hai, Xin You, the Heavenly Stem of Gui is strong and prosperous, and it clashes to bring out Bing and Wu in Si as the prosperity stars for Gui. It is good that the two You characters combine with them.
