Riding the Dragon's Back in the Ren Year
Original Text
《喜忌篇》云：「阳水叠逢辰位，是壬骑龙背之乡。」此格以壬日坐辰，壬以丁为财，己为官，壬用支辰暗冲戌中丁、戊，壬日得财官之贵，柱中须辰多方能冲起，再得一寅字合住财官为妙，不宜财官显露，喜行身旺及伤官、食神运，忌南方财官之地。柱有丁巳午戌，只作财官论，若壬日坐寅，柱中辰多，亦取此格，以壬食甲、甲合己为壬官，甲生丁为壬财，辰能冲戌，寅以合之为贵。若壬辰日，年月时皆寅午火局，财生旺得地，财多不清，只为富命。双曰：壬辰日取辰多，暗冲起戌中火土金为财官印三奇，若三辰一寅为冲合贵气，有力，若壬辰日年月时皆寅，力轻，却用寅中甲木为食生财，故主富。柱中宜见丑未为贵，大怕己官、戊煞、乙伤、丁合不入格，纵辰多亦减分数，忌北方亥子运。又曰：壬辰为魁罡日，宜身旺，怕见财官，休否以运参详，若柱中全见申子，当以润下格论，运戊己，辰戌又冲，岁运并临，吉中反祸，此为骑龙走冲，不成格也。一命：己丑、戊辰、壬辰、庚子，甲子举人，戊辰年乙卯月死，正是己官煞太旺，克壬为凶。诗曰：壬辰日诞号骑龙，飞出官星在对冲，四柱辰多官爵显，寅多却作富家翁。又：阳水多逢辰字乡，壬骑龙背贵非常，柱中俱有寅辰字，富贵双全在庙堂。又：壬骑龙背喜非常，辰多寅字转发扬，大忌官星来破格，灾刑须见寿元伤。
Interpretation
The "Xiji Pian" says: "When Yang water (Ren) repeatedly meets the Chen position, it is the place where Ren rides on the back of the dragon." In this pattern, when the day stem is Ren sitting on Chen. Ren takes Ding as wealth and Ji as official. Ren uses the earthly branch Chen to secretly clash with Ding and Wu in Xu. A Ren day gets the honor of wealth and official positions. There must be multiple Chen in the Bazi to be able to arouse the clash. It is even better to have a Yin character to combine with the wealth and official positions. It is not suitable for the wealth and official stars to be revealed. It likes to be in the luck periods of strong body and the periods of Hurting Officer and Eating God, and avoids the southern regions of wealth and official positions. If there are Ding, Si, Wu, and Xu in the Bazi, it is only regarded as a situation of wealth and official positions. If the Ren day sits on Yin and there are many Chen in the Bazi, this pattern is also applicable. Because Ren eats Jia, Jia combines with Ji to be Ren's official, and Jia gives birth to Ding to be Ren's wealth. Chen can clash with Xu, and Yin's combination is precious. If it is a Ren Chen day, and there are all Yin, Wu fire combinations in the year, month, and hour pillars, the wealth is prosperous and well - rooted. Too much wealth makes the situation unclear, and it is only a pattern of being rich. It is also said: For a Ren Chen day, taking multiple Chen can secretly arouse the fire, earth, and metal in Xu as the three wonders of wealth, official, and seal. If there are three Chen and one Yin, it is a pattern of clash and combination with noble qi and is powerful. If it is a Ren Chen day and there are all Yin in the year, month, and hour pillars, the power is weak. Instead, it uses the Jia wood in Yin as the Eating God to generate wealth, so it mainly indicates being rich. It is precious to have Chou and Wei in the Bazi. It greatly fears Ji (official), Wu (killing), Yi (Hurting Officer), and Ding (combination) which do not fit the pattern. Even if there are many Chen, the score will be reduced. It avoids the northern luck periods of Hai and Zi. It is also said: Ren Chen is a day of Kui Gang. It is suitable for the body to be strong and fears seeing wealth and official stars. Whether it is prosperous or not should be judged according to the luck periods. If there are all Shen and Zi in the Bazi, it should be regarded as the Runxia pattern. When the luck is Wu and Ji, and there is a clash between Chen and Xu, and the annual and luck periods come together, good things may turn into disasters. This is the situation of riding the dragon and having a clash, and the pattern is not formed. One Bazi: Ji Chou, Wu Chen, Ren Chen, Geng Zi. The person became a Juren in the Jia Zi year and died in the Yi Mao month of the Wu Chen year. It was exactly because the official and killing stars of Ji were too strong, and they over - restrained Ren, which was inauspicious. A poem says: Those born on a Ren Chen day are said to ride the dragon, and the official star flies out from the opposite position. If there are many Chen in the four pillars, official positions will be prominent. If there are many Yin, one will be a rich man. Another poem says: Yang water often meets the Chen position. Ren riding on the back of the dragon is extremely noble. If there are both Yin and Chen in the Bazi, one will have both wealth and honor in the court. Another poem says: Ren riding on the back of the dragon is extremely wonderful. Multiple Chen and Yin make it more glorious. It greatly fears the official star to break the pattern, and disasters and punishments will be seen, and the lifespan will be damaged.
