Big Six Jade Algae Golden Ying Yin Dwelling Divination Method (II): Incoming Dragon

Taken from the Black Warrior (Xuanwu), to divine the condition of the incoming dragon. The base spirit riding the Black Warrior is the outward form of this place's coming dragon.

Zi	In a prosperous and mutual state, an upright form — indicating water that rises high, sounding upright and elegant.
At Changsheng (Long Life)	The incoming dragon leaps and bounds, its form clear and distinct.
Bailu (Defeat)	The incoming dragon's outward form is shattered, its body leaning askew.
At Guan (Office) overcoming Wang	Beautiful peaks, and the entry head has proper form.
Shuai, Bing, Si, Mu, Jue (Decline, Sickness, Death, Tomb, Extinction)	Lazy, slow, wretched, and weak — low and bent down.
Tai, Yang (Fetus, Nourishment)	Embracing or carrying mounds, or a bent belly and extending feet, or uneven sizes, three to five standing in rows like a forest.
Ding Horse	Branching arms to east, west, left, and right, or intermittent yet connected, embracing and circling in front and behind.
Punishment	Metal head, wooden feet.
Fire	Jagged rocks, heavy Sha energy.
Clash and Break	The two forms face off like fighting bulls — one broken here, the other deficient there.
Harm	Cutting damage, sharp piercing — Sha energy harms people.
Carrying Kong (Emptiness)	Deficient, broken, dented wind — rising and falling.

Zi	Over prosperous-mutual, Changsheng, Guan-Guan, Ding Horse	Behind, the incoming dragon must have a flat slope with water surging, or a large stream with long-flowing water. In Rest, Prison, Emptiness, or Pit — fluctuations are inconsistent, droughts and floods unregulated. Punishment, clash, overcome, break on the branches — floods will clash into the dwelling, water comes to strike, forming a flow that breaks Changsheng.
Hai	Mountain water, ponds, wells, water caves	If there is punishment, clash, break, or harm on the branches, ponds, wells, and caves are inauspicious and will surely bring disaster. Also represents buildings — carrying Vital Qi, Joy, Accomplishment Spirit, facing the dragon, and combination, there must be multi-story buildings, with bamboo, trees, or plum blossoms before and behind them.
Chou	Flat and prostrate, a hollow, fields or gardens	Carrying auspiciousness means good fortune; carrying inauspiciousness means misfortune. Carrying Ding Horse and Road Spirit, there must be a bridge crossing. Riding the Nobleman in Death Qi, there must be an ancient temple. Riding Dragon-Noble with Vital Qi, and also prosperous, there must be temples, monasteries, shrines, and nunneries with ancient and modern sages and spirits.
Yin	Water star prosperous and mutual, sharp and elegant	Rest, Prison, flat and prostrate, or leaning askew. Riding Vital Qi, Joy, Nobleman, Dragon, and Chang, there must be an academy, nunnery, or temple and monastery.
Mao	Low and small, wood star crossing a pass, dense bamboo and firewood	Riding Nobleman, Chang, and Ding Horse, there must be deer or rabbits.
Chen	The rear dragon is tall and steep	Carrying Death Qi and Tomb Sha, there must be an ancient tomb. In prosperous and mutual states, generating with the branches and stems, it indicates this grave brings wealth and blessings. In Rest or Prison, with punishment, clash, overcome, break, or harm against stems and branches, it indicates this grave brings disaster. Carrying Well Sha, riding the Heavenly Queen, there is a spring well, and also a pond.
Si	Flat and prostrate, hooked and connected, winding and curving	Carrying Vital Qi, Joy, Chang, Meeting, and Combination Spirit, it indicates a woman as matchmaker/entrapper, or possibly a wine shop.

Wei	The rear dragon is flat and soft, jade screen, Well Sha	There must be a spring well; Death Qi means a tomb.
Shen	Umbrella form, large road	Carrying Road Spirit, it also indicates a major road. Nobleman and Death Qi mean a temple.
