Female fate

Now, there is a specific topic called "Female horoscopes". After having a basic understanding of the study of the eight characters in Chinese astrology, studying female horoscopes should be the top priority. Why should we prioritize the study of female horoscopes? This is due to the different outlooks on life between men and women. For women, the family comes first, and their husbands and children are the top priorities. This is a structural issue. Additionally, there is also a matter of probability. I'll give an example. If a man fails in business six times, even goes bankrupt and has been in jail twice, but finally succeeds, he is still considered a successful man. However, it's different for women. A woman can't say that she has divorced five times and finally succeeds in her sixth marriage. That won't work. So, in terms of marriage, a woman generally only has one or at most two chances of probability. After three or four marriages, she will lose confidence in herself. Therefore, in this situation, women can't afford to lose in matters related to their lives. A man can start over after bankruptcy. Because of this ecological difference, it determines a person's outlook on life. One can borrow money when they have none, but one can't borrow a husband. So, when it comes to fortune - telling for women, it seems that the scope is a bit narrower and more delicate. That's why we prioritize it.

Apart from the large number of women coming for fortune - telling, this is not the main reason. The structural reason I just mentioned is the real one. Secondly, when it comes to defining the ten gods and determining the patterns, it doesn't really matter. You can just listen. It's okay if you have relevant books, and it's also okay if you don't. However, when it comes to analyzing the fates of women, it's best to refer to books. Why is that? Beginners in the study of fortune - telling can listen to me, but in the end, it won't work. There are always things in books that I can't cover no matter how much I talk.

You can all understand that it's quite difficult to understand fortune-telling! Actually, it's not that hard to understand. It's just that there are so many technical terms that you can't understand, and even one line is very hard to comprehend. Well, now you all have a basic knowledge of the Five Elements. They say that fortune-telling books are like books from heaven! But now, for you all, they should not be that hard to understand. There are ancient texts in fortune-telling books. What I'm talking about are not the fortune-telling books written by modern people, but those written before the Qing Dynasty. There is a very special situation. Ancient books don't have punctuation marks. You have to read them on your own, and it's even hard to read them.

So now, on the one hand, I'm talking about women's horoscopes, and at the same time, I'm also helping you all start reading ancient books. According to the general average standard, after one year, you don't have to listen to what others say. Just go and buy some ancient books and read them by yourself. You can spend three to five years reading ancient books and still not finish. So now, practicing reading books is also part of my introduction to women's horoscopes.

Well, the articles after page 125 in the bound volume of *Detailed Explanation of Female Horoscopes and General Collection of Female Horoscopes* that I compiled are not written by me. I excerpted them from ancient books. The first article is from *Comprehensive Treatise on the Three Destinies*. Everyone must go to the bookstore to buy this book. *Comprehensive Treatise on the Three Destinies* was written by Wan Yuwu in the Ming Dynasty. He was a Jinshi (successful candidate in the highest imperial examination) and the compiler of this book. He collected all the famous books on fortune - telling at that time and named it *Comprehensive Treatise on the Three Destinies*. There are some parts in it about female horoscopes.

This article is from *San Ming Tong Hui* (Comprehensive Treatise on the Three Lifetimes). Why is it listed as the first one? You should know that there are two major types of articles written by the ancients. One type has beautiful writing but the content may not be good. The other type has true content but the writing is not good. Well, this article is a bit of a compromise, with both the content and the verses reaching a certain standard. You can also read the original text. If you don't have the original text, you can listen to me.

He said that the "Classic Collection of Female Fates" is just a polite way of speaking. There isn't really anything "classic" in fates. It's not like the Four Books and Five Classics; there's no such thing. That is to say, as the ancients put it: "When observing a female fate, first deduce the prosperity and decline of her husband and children." A female fate refers to a woman's fate. Whenever you look at a woman's birth chart, what should you look at first? "Husband" and "children" are to be read separately. "Husband" and "children" don't refer to a teacher or an old master; they mean the husband and the children. Prosperity or decline? When it comes to prosperity and decline, everyone will remember the Twelve Stages of Growth and Storage we mentioned before. "Prosperity" refers to the stages of prosperity like "lu" and "wang", and "decline" refers to the stages like "tai" and "jue". Regarding the so - called prosperity and decline of the husband and children, for example, if there is a young lady or a wife with the Heavenly Stem "Jia" as the Day Master, of course, I will first look at the situation of her husband and son. Whether to look at them together or separately depends on her age. Before the age of 35, the husband takes precedence. After the age of 50, the children take precedence. All those things we talked about before, such as the "Eating God", "Official and Killing", etc., now, when we put them all together, it all boils down to common sense! When asking about the situation of the husband, everyone think about it. This question corresponds to the age of that lady, doesn't it? Of course, a woman's fate is more or less decided before the age of 30. Every woman hopes that once she gets married, she can become a well - off lady, enjoy a good life, and have good living conditions. She hopes to get married well in her twenties.

Under this concept, it leads us to consider the determinacy of the Eight Characters. So, the question is, when it comes to the quality of the husbands of women in their twenties or thirties, which pillar should be the main focus? Of course, it's the monthly pillar. Now, let me continue. If you are a woman with the Jia Heavenly Stem and you're asking about your husband, which gods represent your husband? They are the Direct Officer and the Seven Killings. In terms of the Heavenly Stems, they are Geng and Xin. Metal restrains wood, and what restrains me is the Officer and the Killing. If there are Geng and Xin in the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches of your entire Eight Characters, it means you have a husband. The positions in the year, month, day, and hour pillars represent time, not whether one is rich or not. The quality of your husband needs to be weighted. Then, we can use the fact that in the Twelve Stages of Life and Prosperity, Geng and Xin are prosperous in Shen and You, and are in the state of extinction in Yin and Mao.

For those with the Heavenly Stem Jia as the Day Master born in the Monkey (Shen) or Rooster (You) months, which are in autumn! The conditions for their husbands are high, and their husbands are very capable. It's a prosperous situation! If you are born in the Tiger (Yin) or Rabbit (Mao) months, which are in spring, then it means the husband is in a state of decline. That is to say, your husband will be incapable! Then, this determines the conditions of your husband star before the age of thirty. Do you all understand? For the Day Master Jia, those that overcome me are the Officials and Seven Kills. Those that overcome me are Geng and Xin. Whether there are Geng and Xin depends on whether they appear in your Four Pillars. Whether the husband is capable depends on the state of prosperity or decline. For the Day Master Jia, Geng and Xin represent the husband. If born in the Shen or You months, Geng has its Lu (auspicious position) in Shen and Xin has its Lu in You, so the husband is capable. If born in the Yin or Mao months, the husband star is in a state of decline, so the husband is incapable.

So what does it mean to have a way out? And what does it mean to have no way out? Broadly speaking, if we take 70,000 yuan as a benchmark, someone with a monthly salary of over 70,000 yuan is considered in good standing. For those with a monthly salary of less than 30,000 yuan, they simply have no prospects of getting married. They're in a hopeless situation. Why do I use monthly salary as an example? In the past, girls' marriages were arranged when they were just two or three years old, but that doesn't happen in this era. Even in very special cases where someone starts dating at 15, such relationships don't last long, so they're not considered the norm.

If you want to study prosperity and decline, then distinguish the significance of the day and hour. This is the second sentence. What does "significance" mean? Just now, when referring to the month, it was an average concept, not the practical application in fortune - telling. That lady who came might not necessarily be under thirty. For example, she is already thirty - five. What she is asking about is the present situation! People who come for fortune - telling usually have something on their minds. If there is nothing wrong, they won't come to ask. So, if she is thirty - five now, what should we look at? We should look at the earthly branch of the day master's self - sitting. For example, if it is the day of Jiashen, of course, her husband will be prosperous. If it is the day of Jiayin, her husband will be in a state of decline. This "decline" refers to the period from thirty - one to forty - five. In this way, fortune - telling often becomes very difficult.

You may be prosperous in the month but not necessarily prosperous on the day. If you're in an unfavorable situation in the month but prosperous on the day, then I can talk about it! Well, it all depends on the situation. So, generally when discussing one's fortune, we don't talk too much with her. We just focus on the present. For example, if a person with the Heavenly Stem "Jia" as the Day Master was born in the Tiger month (Yin month) and it's also a "Jia Yin" day, theoretically, getting married before the age of thirty is of no use. After the age of thirty, you'll be overly prosperous, which means your husband won't be able to handle it. This is the real answer. Considering human feelings, we usually just say: Don't get married early. Early marriage is not good for you! For the person involved, getting married after the age of thirty is usually not really what the person wants. There's no other way. Having dragged it on past thirty, one has to accept it.

So, it's necessary to distinguish the importance according to the day and time. Besides whether the husband is good or bad, the feelings at that time should also be taken into account. Based on common sense, let me give another example. For those with the Heavenly Stem Jia as the Day Master born in the Shen Hour, the importance is the same. It means that your husband will be capable in your later years. But for us in fortune - telling, this will lead to a lot of redundant thoughts! Can you stay in a monogamous relationship from your twenties until you're sixty and then your husband becomes wealthy? Would I think so?

No way! Instead, I'd say: The gentleman who strikes it rich in his later years may not necessarily be the same gentleman you knew when he was young! The problem becomes complicated. From another perspective, even if you've been a couple through thick and thin and your husband finally strikes it rich when you're both sixty, I won't say anything but just congratulate you! But deep down, I'm a bit worried for you. You're already sixty! It's too late for you even though your husband has finally made money. Money is a good thing, but there may well be other problems!

Therefore, when fortune - telling, one must consider the importance of the day and hour! When looking at a Bazi (Eight Characters of Birth), one should combine the current significance and future perspectives. Suppose a woman in her forties or fifties asks me, "Do you think I'll be lonely in my old age?" We're good at understanding what she means. Once we hear this question, it means she's already lonely now. If she's lonely in her old age, it might even be a good thing. "Don't worry, I guarantee you'll be lonely in your old age!" This is just a joke. Let's not talk about the past!

If a woman in her thirties comes to ask, and her husband star is in command at the hour pillar, it's quite difficult to talk about. Usually, we just discuss the matter based on the situation. Because even in the most normal case, she still has to wait for fifteen years. It's easy for me to say fifteen years, but for the person involved, not to mention fifteen years, even one and a half years is a long time!

You should not only understand what I'm saying but also understand the theory behind it. By now, you should realize why when fortune - telling, one must memorize the four sets of rules thoroughly. Without any one of them, it's impossible. Is there prosperity or decline? And what about the issue of timeliness? Then, how to consider the importance of the day and hour? This is about the quality of the conditions.

There are two levels in fortune - telling, one is quality and the other is quantity. Whether your husband is rich is one thing. Everyone hopes their husband can earn a lot of money and hold a high - ranking position. These are the conditions. And there's another aspect, that is, whether you can get along well with each other or not. It's a different matter. He may be rich, but he has multiple wives or he's like an enemy to you. On the other hand, he may be poor, but he loves you deeply.

This often means that there's a lack of clear criteria for making choices: Whether you get along or not doesn't depend on whether it's a prosperous or an adverse situation, but on clashes. If there are clashes in your birth - chart, even if it's a prosperous situation, you still won't get along. Because teaching is different from fortune - telling. In teaching, you talk based on theories and from a book. In fortune - telling, there's a real person in front of you, who has emotions and reactions. For example, if person A is born in the month of Shen, the husband star is in its proper season. With the clash between Yin and Shen, although the conditions are good, they just won't get along! What if it's about the month? I can still comfort her by saying, "It'll be okay after you're over thirty." It's just a simple sentence for me, but the person involved may not be able to hold on for that long. It's several years! Even one day can be unbearable! So, this so - called getting along or not getting along is about clashes.

This is about the issue of personality! So, what are couples most afraid of? It's so - called extramarital affairs! Her husband has an extramarital affair outside. Extramarital affairs have nothing to do with whether they get along well or not! Having an extramarital affair is called "combination". For example, Jia and Ji combine, Yi and Geng combine. If your husband star has a combination, it means your husband becomes shared! For instance, if you are a Jia day - master, there is Gengshen in the month column, and Yi in the year stem. Since Yi and Geng combine, it means the husband star has a combination. That is to say, your husband doesn't belong to you alone. There are different interpretations within the concept of "combination". There are two ways of putting it: one is that your husband is combined by someone else; the other is that you combine with someone else's husband. Both are considered "combination"! This is another detailed issue.

Has everyone noticed that fortune - telling is becoming more and more detailed? When simply stating a sentence, one has to consider the importance of the day and the hour. Since what is written are just clauses, actually, the importance of the year, month, day, and hour should be considered together. It's impossible to write everything down. When talking about good or bad at a certain stage, it refers to your current age. Considering the day, hour, and month together describes the process of your whole life. Everyone has also seen cases where people were very poor when they were young but their husbands became rich in their later years, or vice - versa, where people were rich when they were young but ended up poor in their later years. These are all quite normal. There are many things in fortune - telling that are hard to bring up! So, fortune - tellers often just talk about the present situation based on the matter at hand. What does it mean by "hard to bring up"? Everyone has also seen situations where the first husband was poor and the second was rich, or the first husband was rich and the second was poor. This kind of thing can't be casually discussed! Unless the other party asks about it themselves! Can fortune - tellers tell? They can.

Well, this matter of marriage is actually quite simple and not complicated. For ordinary people, marriage means getting married. Of course, what fortune - telling refers to is not as rigid as that. A marriage certificate is a legal issue. In fortune - telling, as long as someone is with you, he is considered your husband. This can't be stated explicitly! If you've had three boyfriends but never got married, in my opinion, you've had several relationships emotionally, but legally you haven't. So, when you think about it, the concept of marriage has a lot of connotations. But when actually receiving clients, we should just discuss the matter based on your age and current conditions! Asking someone to do fortune - telling and doing fortune - telling for someone are completely different. For example, if I ask you to do fortune - telling for me, it's based on my background. When I do fortune - telling for others, I face all kinds of people, from noble ladies to women of the night. So, I have no prejudices at all. To put it bluntly, I don't even have a sense of right and wrong. Since you are my customer, and I'm like a lawyer. People who come to a lawyer have problems. Why would they come to you if they had nothing to do? So, those who come to me for fortune - telling all have problems. Therefore, after understanding the principles of fortune - telling, when talking about people's horoscopes, you must never measure others from your own perspective. We are like chefs in the kitchen. It's not us who eat the dishes. We just cook according to the customers' orders, regardless of whether it's salty or light.

The rise and fall of the day and time is the most basic first rule for analyzing a woman's fortune. As long as you are familiar with the basic rules, no matter which heavenly stem represents the day master, calculating the prosperity or decline of the husband star will be very fast. For example, for a person with Bing as the day master, the husband stars are Ren and Gui. The question is whether Ren or Gui exists in the four pillars. If the native is born in the Hai or Zi month in the northern direction where Ren, Gui, Hai, and Zi represent water, it means the husband is prosperous. If born in the Si or Wu month, it means the husband is weak, and so on. Well, the classic says to first observe the rise and fall of the husband and children. The part about the husband has been covered.

Now, let's talk about children! For a woman's fate, her husband and children are the two main goals in life. According to common sense, when it comes to her husband, a woman always hopes to live a good life before the age of thirty. However, it's different when it comes to children. A woman can see her children achieve something. Not to mention great wealth and honor, just graduating from a good school and having a good job. For such conditions, the child has to be over twenty - five years old. For a woman, it may be when she is over fifty. Therefore, when discussing a woman's children in the theory of fate, the hour branch is taken as the standard, and the hour branch represents the period after the age of fifty. Let's still take Jia as an example. For a person with Jia as the day master, what is born by oneself is the food - god and the hurting - officer, which represent children. Since wood gives birth to fire, we also follow the principle of the twelve stages of birth, prosperity and storage. Fire is prosperous in Si and Wu, and is in the state of extinction in Hai and Zi.

If this woman has Jia as her Day Master and is born at noon (the Wu hour), her children will be successful. If she is born in the middle of the night, during the Hai or Zi hours, her children will be less successful, or she may even have no children at all! If the Zi element is strong in the Month Pillar, for example, if a person with Jia as the Day Master is born in the Si or Wu months, the offspring will be prosperous. But this female is only thirty years old. How can we explain this? At most, she may have more children, or her children may be very smart at school and win several awards. This doesn't really matter. We need to distinguish the importance and not make decisions on our own. Now, I'm going to discuss both the husband and children together. Please think carefully. What conditions does a woman need for both a good husband and good sons? For example, if a woman with Jia as the Day Master wants to have a good husband when she is young, she should be born in the Shen or You months, when the Officer and Seven - Killers are in a prosperous position.

Similarly, for this person to have well-behaved children in their later years, they should be born between 9:00 - 13:00. That is to say, the husband is good in the early years, and the children are good in the later years. If it's the other way around, born in the months corresponding to the snake or horse and between 15:00 - 19:00, it means the children study very well when they are young, and the husband will only be successful in his later years. Just think about it, isn't the difference in these outcomes quite significant! Therefore, we should distinguish the importance of the day and the hour. Well, you can't arrange your own eight-character birth chart. Whatever your birth chart is, that's the kind of outcome you'll have. Even if you have a caesarean section, it won't deviate too far from what's calculated. At most, it can only affect the first thirty years. Because the Heavenly Way dislikes excessive perfection. This part is finished in the book. Well, the following two sentences are not theoretical but common sense.
