On Stems and Branches
The Day Stem represents the Body, and the Time Stem represents the Life. Fortune is determined within the Na Yin. If the Body is not injured or overcome, it is a lucky conception. If Na Yin supports and assists, career succeeds. If transformed and timely without punishment or injury, this person is respected and admired. Most feared is when Body and Life fall into Xiu (rest) and Qiu (decay). Ancestral property will be left with nothing. Na Yin is most worried when Body and Life enter the Tomb; actions are often divergent, and life may end prematurely.

On Zhi Fu
Zhi Fu discusses people and Zhi Shi discusses affairs. The Ten Stems describe character. Starting from the Nine Palaces, trace the origin. Doors opening and closing determine career causes. Years, months, days, times, and life years: carefully trace the palace distribution. Past and future, timely prosperity: divide into children, parents, wealth, and officials. Generally, Zhi Fu fears empty villages; life and career are very erratic. If life year again enters another grid's tomb, suspect the future is not long. Then check the stems of years, months, days, and times. If not punished or in a grid, affairs are mostly joyful. If one loses the palace sequence, examine roots, seedlings, flowers, and fruits by category.

On Zhi Shi
Zhi Shi always examines actions. Meeting birth and riding prosperity is suitable. If punished, harmed, and combined with grids/tombs, plans will not meet expectations. Check from the side on the life year. Then check the four stems and door dependencies. Five inauspicious, three auspicious, and empty/abandoned: fortune and misfortune have separate mechanisms within.

On Ten Stems
Qi Yi at nine places order the six relatives. Each follows the starting palace to distinguish origins. Zhi Fu palace origin and time origin are prosperous. Obtaining Fu and Shi brings benefit, integrity, and righteousness.

On Nine Stars
The Nine Stars have distinct natures since ancient times. Each follows the Five Elements to examine the Xi Jing. Solitude, emptiness, prosperity, and phases along with life years: examine one by one to naturally become spiritual.

On Nine Palaces
Starting from the Nine Palaces, examine the lineage. Meeting the grid and being timely brings many nobles. Examine the useful god by category and check adjacent palaces. Arts and crafts, rise and fall, are recorded in the numbers.

On Doors
Must observe Qi Yi to divide the Eight Trigrams. Palaces falling into tombs and extinction discuss kinship origins. Life year rejoices in the meeting of three and six; calculating people, they naturally prosper.

On Three Jias
Three doors and four places combine with Yang openings. If life year meets them, prominent people come. If losing command and meeting Yin closing, actions often appear clever but are actually foolish.

On Auspicious and Inauspicious
Teng She holding metal worries about speech; suddenly falling into water brings disaster. Tai Yin's lesson body may bear shame; Liu Lin in the west fears secret plots. Gou Chen in Mao position disturbs public affairs; arriving at Gen, Shen, Geng, doors destroy and anger. Bai Hu, Jing Zhu, holding knives is fearsome. Zhu Que, Du, Jing: noise is detestable. Xuan Wu residing in stems cannot maintain momentum. Jiu Di, Du, Si: unheard until death. Jiu Tian, Kai: dragon and cloud changes. Jia and Yi prosper in spring, Bing and Ding flourish in summer, Wu and Ji in four seasons, Geng and Xin prosper in autumn, Ren and Gui like winter. These are all outstanding and superior people. As for Jia getting Ji, it is upright and can be a model; Yi meeting Geng, hardness and softness complement each other; Bing combining with Xin, exerting power; Ding seeing Ren, flattering. Wu and Gui are rigid and decisive,无缘 (no connection) with petty people. Eight palaces mutually combining: gentle auspicious people; each palace's partial factions: stubborn and vulgar; combining with punishment: beauty insufficient, inauspicious. Empty auspiciousness is truly joy with surplus. Follow mutual generation, avoid mutual overcoming. Examine years, months, days, and times. Xun obtains Dragon Returning Head for smooth and beautiful career; Bird Falling into Hole for prominent fame. Obtaining Dun, talent for power and change; meeting Zha, naturally able to manage. Obtaining Shi, urgent outside has assistance; guarding doors, entering and exiting is prosperous. Five Ji's opportunities surpass the masses; Three Sheng's courage and strategy exceed others. Yaojiao and acting cause false alarms; throwing into the river causes loss of letters and documents. Fu Gan reveals lost property; Fei Gan relies on strength and harms self. Fu Gong must guard against thieves; Fei Gong career perishes. Large and small intervals, plans do not turn. Punishment grid and rebellion grid, disaster arises internally. White entering Fluorescent, beware of external enemies; Fluorescent entering White, enemies perish themselves. Dragon escaping, beware of body disaster and obscurity; Tiger raging, fear objects being erratic. Five not meeting, raising affairs is stumbling. Luo Wang spreading, entering and exiting should be guarded. Liu Yi striking punishment, inauspicious disasters are distinct. Three Qi entering tomb, plots do not spread. Fan Yin and Fu Yin: much chirping. Auspicious and inauspicious doors pressing: indeed not auspicious. Tian Ma and auspicious doors arriving on life: riding horses from the generating direction, forever without disaster.

Another Verse
Whenever divinating fate, must look at one's own life year and which trigram/qi it belongs to, in command or out of command, to judge life's auspiciousness and inauspiciousness. Then check the Na Yin of the day's stems and branches, and the Na Yin of the exact time's stems and branches, to see birth, prosperity, overcoming, and controlling, to judge current career's rise and fall. Zhi Fu starts from which palace origin, belongs to which relative of the palace, currently which trigram, prosperity and controlling how, its son entering father's mansion, concubine yielding wife's position,斟酌 (deliberate) within, naturally obtain news. Then detail Zhi Shi to determine current actions, combine with life year to observe the mystery of changes. If father divines son, look at the son's house; husband divines wife, discuss the wife's spirit. Then obtain the star assigned to examine their heart's matter and character, plus detail on door opening/closing, Three Jia Yin/Yang, naturally obtain the profound mystery.
