Monthly Command Verse Formulas
月令詩訣
正月寅宮元是木，木生火旺土長生；戌兼午未宮中喜，申酉休囚數莫行。
In the first month, the Yin palace is fundamentally Wood; Wood generates Fire's strength, and Earth's long life begins. Xu together with Wu and Wei are welcomed within the palace; Shen and You are resting and imprisoned -- do not proceed with their count. [These verses provide month-by-month formulas for assessing each Day Master type born in each of the twelve months, covering which elements are favorable, which are dangerous, and which luck period directions to prefer.]
These verse formulas (詩訣 shijue) are practical quick-reference mnemonics used by practitioners for rapid chart assessment. Each verse addresses a specific combination of Day Master type and birth month, encoding the analytical conclusion in seven-character regulated verse form. They represent the most applied, practitioner-oriented content in the Yuanhai Ziping.
