Determining the vigor and decline of the daily stem is the pivotal step in fortune telling, marking the beginning of the inference of one’s life fortunes and misfortunes.
The vigor of the daily stem encompasses four aspects: command, domain, vitality, and assistance.
Command: The daily stem thrives in the lunar branches, residing in places of longevity, nourishment, coronation, authority, and prosperity.
Domain: The daily stem thrives in other branches by means of longevity (for yang daily stems), emoluments, or encountering tombs (yang daily stems encountering tombs establish roots, while yin daily stems lack vitality and thus lack roots).
Vitality: The daily stem thrives through the presence of direct or indirect output elements within the four pillars of stems and branches.
Assistance: When the daily stem aligns with other heavenly stems in the four pillars, it encounters peers, wealth, or assistance, thus receiving support.
Criteria for assessing vitality:
Primarily, the crucial aspect for determining vitality is the attainment of command by the daily stem.
Secondly, under the premise of command, the presence of domain, vitality, or assistance in any one aspect confirms vitality. Possessing two out of the three indicates partial strength, while all three signify excessive vitality.
Thirdly, in the absence of command, possessing two or more out of domain, vitality, or assistance indicates significant strength and support, signifying vitality or partial vitality.
Fourthly, in the absence of command, if only one aspect among domain, vitality, or assistance is present, yet a three-combination or assistance imprint exists in the four pillars, it signifies vitality.
Fifthly, in the absence of command, if domain, vitality, or assistance are potent and numerous, even if only two aspects are present, vitality is still present. However, if longevity, emoluments, power, or tomb components are scarce within the domain, it indicates a more balanced state between vigor and weakness, making it difficult to ascertain vigor and decline, and determining auspicious deities or favorable fortunes becomes challenging. In such scenarios: (1) If the interactions among the heavenly stems manifest supportive elements that nurture or assist the daily stem, it denotes vitality; whereas, if they display elements that counteract or deplete the daily stem’s energy, it indicates weakness. (2) Semi-interactions among the branches or semi-associations nurturing or assisting the daily stem’s elements signify vitality, while those counteracting or depleting its energy denote weakness. (3) Instances where elements counteract, deplete, or support the daily stem’s energy are present in weak domains (without command), while those nurturing or assisting the daily stem’s energy are in vigorous domains, signify vitality. Conversely, weakness is indicated otherwise. (4) If elements counteract, deplete, or deplete the daily stem’s energy are in conflict with its branches, being subdued, associated, or distanced, it still indicates vitality; otherwise, it indicates weakness.
