人有精神,不可以一偏求也,要在损之益之得其中。

原注,精气神气皆无气也,五行大率以金水为精气,木火为神气,而土所以实之者也。有神人不见其精,而精自足者,有精足不见其神,而神自足者;有精缺神索,而日主虚旺者;有精缺神索,而日主孤弱者,有神不足而精有余者,有精不足而神有余者,有精神俱缺而气旺;有精神俱旺而气衰,有精缺得神以助之者,有神缺得精以生之者,有精助精而精反泄无气者,有神助神而神反毙无气者,二者皆由气以主之也。凡此皆不可以一偏求也,俱要损益其进退,不可使有过不及也。

戊午

此造以甲木为精,衰木得水滋,而逢寅禄为精足,以戊土为神,坐戌通根,寅戌拱之为神旺。官生印,印生身,坐下长生为气贯流通,生化五行俱足。左右上下情协不悖,官来能挡,劫来有官,食来有印,东西南北之运,皆可行也,所以一生富贵福寿 ,可谓美矣。

庚戌

己酉

此造以大势观之,官印相生,偏财时遇,五行不缺,四柱纯粹,俨然贵格,不如财官两字休囚,又遥隔不能相顾,支全寅、卯、辰。春土克尽,不能生金,金临绝地,不能生水,水之气尽泄于木,木之势愈旺而火炽,火炽则气毙,气毙则神枯。行运北方,又伤丙火之气,反助取木之精;即逢金运,所谓过于有余,损之反角其触,以致终身碌碌 ,名利无成出。

戊戌

乙丑

丙辰

己丑甲子

庚申

己未

此四柱皆土,命主元神,泄尽月干,乙木凋枯,所谓精气枯索。运逢壬戌,本主受伤;年逢辛未,紧克乙木,卒于九月患弱症而亡。

此造运用逆行,大抵是右命。
