十月甲木,庚丁为要,丙火次之。忌壬水泛身,须戊土制之。 若庚丁两透,又加戊出干,名曰去浊留清,富贵之极,即乏丁火,亦稍有富贵。或甲多制戊,庚金无根,平常人也。庚戊若透,虽出比劫,必定富而寿。 或多比劫,只一庚出干,坐禄逢生乃为舍丁从庚,略富贵。或支见申亥,戊己得所,以救庚丁,可许科甲。若单己透,其力弱小,不过贡监而已。 用庚,土妻金子。用丁,木妻火子。 十一月甲木,木性生寒,丁先庚後,丙火佐之。癸水司权,为火金之病。庚丁两透,支见巳寅,科甲有准,风水不及,选拔有之。若癸透伤丁。无戊己辅救,残疾之人。或壬水重出,丁火全无者,庸人也,得丙方妙。 或支成水局,加以壬透,名为水泛木浮,死无棺木。 总之十一月甲木,为寒枝,不比春木清茂,端取庚丁。透壬无丙,不过刀笔异途,武职有验。 用庚,土妻金子。用火,木妻火子。 十二月甲木,天寒气冻,木性极寒,无生发之象,先用庚劈甲,方引丁火始得木火有通明之象,故丁次之。 庚丁两透,科甲恩封。庚透丁藏,小贵。丁透庚藏,小富贵。无庚者,贫贱。无丁者,寒儒。或有丁透重重,亦是富贵中人,但须比肩,能发丁之焰,自有德业才能。如无比肩,寻常之士,稍有衣食而已。或支多见水,即有比肩,亦属平常。 总之腊月甲木,虽有庚金,丁不可少。乏庚略可,乏丁无用。经云:甲木无根,男女夭寿。

三春乙木总论 三春乙木,为芝兰蒿草之物,丙癸不可离也,春乙见丙,卉木向阳,万象回春,须癸滋养根基。丙癸齐透天干,无化合制克,自然登科及第,故书云:乙木根荄种得深,只须阳地不宜阴,漂浮只怕多逢水,克制何须苦用金。
