正财者，乃甲见己、乙见戊之例。
Direct Wealth, is Jia seeing Ji, or Yi seeing Wu and the likes.
受我克制，为我之妻，譬人娶妻，妻赍财嫁我，我必精神康强，而后可享用，若衰微不振，虽妻财丰厚，但能目视，终不得用。
it is being restrained by me, it's my wife, it's like when I get married, I receive my wife, gifts and wealth, I must be healthy and vital in order to use and enjoy these, if I were weak, even if the wealth of the wife is plentiful, I can only look at them but I could never use them.
故财要得时乘旺，不偏正混乱，不重叠多见，自家日主有力，皆能发福。
Wealth should have the support of the season and riding on prosperity, Direct and Indirect should not be mixed, it must not be seen repetitively, when the DM is strong, DM can be successful.
若财多身弱，柱无印助，财少身强，柱有比劫，太过不及，皆不为福。
When Wealth is many and self is weak, and pillars are without Seal to assist, or when Wealth is little and Self is strong, pillars are with Compares and Robs, too much or too little, these are all not blessings.
经云：伤妻叠叠财轻身旺，弟兄多。
The classics says: Many 'Hurting Wifes' with light wealth and strong self. has many brothers.
又云：财多身弱，反为富屋贫人。
Also says: Many Wealths with weak Self, a poor person who lives in a rich house.
珞琭子云：大段天元羸弱宫吉不及以为荣，纵邓通铸钱，终身不富而饿死是也。
Luo LuZi says: Generally, when the Heaven's Yuan(Stem) is weak, the auspicious Officer is not adequate to (bring about) glory. even when Deng Tong was forging coins, he did not get rich in his life and eventually died of hunger.
Trey: Deng Tong was a man in Han dynasty who was given the authority by Emperor Wen to forge copper coins, one fortune teller told him that he would eventually died of hunger, Emperor Wen found the prediction amusing because Deng was forging money and there was no way he would die of hunger. Then, Emperor Wen died and was succeed by his son Emperor Jing who did no like Deng, someone reported some crime that Deng did to Emperor Jing and the emperor had all of Deng's property confiscated, Deng was left without money and eventually died at some other's people house.
若月令得财局，身衰逢印资助，当作富论，如先见印，却怕见财。
If the Month's Decree has a Wealth frame, if Self is weak but is supported by Seal, that is regarded as wealthy, if Seal is seen first, then it will fear to see Wealth.
Trey: This is confusing, but please read on.
独步云：先财後印，反成其福，先印後财，反成其辱是也。用财不宜明露，柱见比劫，则宜透出，使人共见则不能夺。
DuBu says: First Wealth and later Seal, that becomes the blessing, First Seal and Later Wealth, that becomes an insult.
Trey: This First and Later 先后, XianHou concept is an important concept in analyzing a Wealth adorned with Seal structure. First meaning to appear first in the pillars. Year Pillar comes first, Month pillar second, Day Pillar third and Hour pillar comes last.
Seal DM X Wealth
X X X X
The above chart has Wealth comes first and Seal comes later, 先财後印, which is a good structure.
But this chart below
Wealth DM X Seal
X X X X
has Seal comes before Wealth, this is not a good structure.
用财不宜明露，柱见比劫，则宜透出，使人共见则不能夺。
When Wealth is Used, it should not be exposed, when the pillars see Compare and Rob, should be protruding, that is like people can see the wealth but cannot rob them.
Trey: This paragraph is quite confusing, when it says 'should be protruding', I don't know what the text is referring to. Is is Wealth that should be protruding or the parallels? IMO, if the parallels are protruding and the Wealth hidden, then the parallels would not be able to Rob Wealth, otherwise, if Wealth and Parallels are both protruding, the parallels are opened to counter Wealth. 逐马逢马，劳苦千般.
赋云：财宜藏，藏则丰厚，露则浮荡是也。
The odes say: It is better for Wealth to be hidden, hidden would be plentiful, exposed would be drifting.
凡财格，喜见官星显露，别无伤损，或更食生印助日主健旺，富贵双全。
For Wealth structures, they like to see Officer star protruding prominently, and (the Officer star) should not be hurt or damaged, and also (they like to see) Food to engender (Wealth) and Seals to assist DM and DM healthy and strong, these bring about both wealth and nobility.
如干支见杀，亦能享用，即逢财看杀之义。
If the stems or branches sees 7K, it can also be used, that is the meaning of 'seeing Wealth, look at 7K'.
Trey: Again, this is confusing, SMTH often writes confusing stuff. The saying 'Seeing Wealth, look at 7K' is probably from an old poem 挈要捷驰玄妙诀 in YHZP, the complete sentence says:
逢财看杀原有杀，十有九贫
Seeing Wealth, look at 7K, if there's originally a 7K (meaning 7K in the natal chart), 9 out of 10 is poor.
Other conditions where 7K can be auspicious is when Seal is used and DM is weak or Food is used and DM is strong.
大怕枭夺则不能生，刃劫则不能享，库逢空则不能聚。
It is afraid of the Owl to take away (Food) and thus cannot engender, YangRen or RobWealth and thus not able to enjoy, or storage is void and thus it cannot accumulate.
Trey:
Some conditions which are inauspicious for Wealth structure are:
1. The presence of Owl God (Indirect Seal), as Owl God take away Food God and consequently Food God cannot engender Wealth.
2. Rob Wealth and Yang Ren countering Wealth, competing for Wealth with DM.
3. Wealth storage fallen into KongWang.
如 Like:
甲生午月，见壬伤丙卯破乙夺；
Jia born in the month of Wu, seeing Ren injures Bing, Mao breaks (Wu) and Yi robs;
乙生巳月，见癸伤丁亥破甲夺；
Yi born in the month of Si, seeing Gui injures Ding, Hai breaks and Jia robs;
壬生戌月，甲子旬戌落空亡之类。
Ren born in the month of Xu, JiaZi series has Xu fallen into KongWang,
余以例推。
Others can be analyzed similarly.
Trey: That's all for today's post, a huge part of this chapter will be translated in the next post.
Have a nice day.
