夫合有合禄、合马、合贵之说。
There's the saying of combining with Lu (prosperity), combining with Ma(horse, as in YiMa) and combining with Gui (noble).
珞录子云：是从无而立有，谓见不见之形也。
Luo LuZi says: It's originally not there but it is then established to be there, it's said to be seen but not seen.
从无立有，喻如甲生人以寅为禄，不见寅而见亥，谓之合禄；
From not existing and become exist, for example, Jia people with Yin as 'Lu', does not sees Yin but sees Hai, thus it is called 'combining with Lu' as Hai combines with Yin
寅生人以申为马，不见申而见巳，谓之合马；

Dear Master Trey Tan
ReplyDeleteSometimes I difficult to determine my chart combine or clash
DM
Ren Bing Yi Yi
Chen Xu You Mao
DoB 7 Oktober 1975, 6:45 AM 112.7 [deg] east, 7.2 [deg] south
Xu with Chen clash
but Xu with Mao combine
You and Mao Clash but You and Chen combine.
So could you interpret my chart please?
Thanks in advance
Greetings from HelloKitty! =)
ReplyDeleteYour translation is superb. Thumbs up!!!
Dear unknown,
ReplyDeleteImo, combine comes first before clashes.
Rgds,lemon
Dear Trey,
ReplyDeleteI believe there are some conditions for EB combination/transformation to take place. E.g.
EB combined element needs to protrude in HS then we call it successful transformation. If EB combined element did not protrude in HS, we call it combination without transformation. When LP arrives with HS reveal the EB combined element, at this stage, it will transform.
1) Do you agree with the above?
2) Does 月令 play a role in determining combination?
3) For strong pillar like 戊午 where rootedness is present, will EB transformation take place when 未 appears during LP?
Rgds,
Ben
Dear Ben,
ReplyDeleteAt the moment, I don't have the confidence to answer your questions regarding the transformation of the 6 combination. I have very limited information on this subject and still researching. Many classics do not mention about transformation at all. I'll get back to you when I get the info.
regards
Trey
Hi Trey,
ReplyDeleteNo problem. I understand different school has their own method to determine combination. Anyway, thanks for clarifying my doubts and questions all these while.
Cheers,
Ben
Hi Ben,
ReplyDeleteI have learned a lot since I started this blog, back then I could only see the toenail of a dinosaur called BaZi, now I think I can see the fingers. The more questions I get, the more information I would gather to share. So your questions are always welcomed.
Cheers.

ReplyDeleteLike this Bing geng Wu geng
xu wu yin shen
How do you think the san he fire combination will effect my metal day master is it bad?
Hi All. what is meaning of
ReplyDeleteWu combines with Wei, fortune is slow. Wei combines with Wu, is greatly favorable.
If EB at day & year pillar : Wei & Month pillar: Wu assumption all transform to fire, is it bad for strong fire DM (before transform it is weak fire DM)
