When the Heavenly Stem Geng (庚) is above the Earthly Stem Ji (己), the metal of punishment and killing receives nourishment from hidden earth. Ancient texts state that Geng (庚) with Ji (己) is the most inauspicious punishment. It indicates endless lawsuits and, if mishandled, imprisonment.
Heavenly Stem Geng (庚) + Earthly Stem Ji (己)
Geng (庚) with Gui (癸) is a great formation, with Ji (己) it is punishment, most inauspicious.
The Official Talisman Punishment Formation is formed when the Heavenly Stem Geng (庚) is above the Earthly Stem Ji (己). Geng (庚) represents Tai Bai (Great White), which is an inauspicious metal associated with official disputes and imprisonment. Ji (己) represents Yin Earth, symbolizing hidden or obscure matters. When Geng (庚) metal is above Ji (己) earth, the earth, in turn, nourishes the metal. This means that obscure matters feed the spirit of punishment and killing, providing an endless supply of fuel for official disputes, hence the name Official Talisman Punishment Formation. The 《Song of the Fisherman on the Misty Waves》, when listing the various misfortunes of Geng (庚) formations, specifically points out that Geng (庚) with Ji (己) is the most inauspicious punishment, classifying it as the most severe form of injury among Geng (庚) formations. The principle behind this formation lies in improper nourishment: when an inauspicious deity receives nourishment, its malevolence intensifies. Therefore, a characteristic of this formation is its endless nature—lawsuits are protracted and repetitive, with one issue arising after another. If mishandled, civil disputes can escalate into imprisonment. This formation is considered a severe inauspicious formation: when divining for lawsuits, it indicates new cases arising from old ones, or old cases resurfacing; for human affairs, it signifies relentless slander from petty individuals; for life and destiny, it warns against legal penalties. If supported by the Three Auspicious Deities and auspicious doors, it may be reduced to verbal disputes and financial loss, but still indicates prolonged delays. If encountering inauspicious doors and inauspicious stars, the threat of imprisonment should not be underestimated. Note that if the palace where this formation falls is empty (空亡), lawsuits often remain unresolved, with much talk but little action. When encountering this formation, strict adherence to laws and regulations is the only hard truth; any gray areas should be avoided.
Beware of accountability for regulatory violations in the workplace: procedural flaws, signatures, and endorsements could all be brought up for questioning later. Ensure strict compliance and documentation for all handled matters, and do not endorse or guarantee for others. Proactively clarify existing disputes instead of waiting to be investigated.
Wealth is depleted by lawsuits: being entangled in legal battles leads to continuous losses from legal fees, compensation, and frozen funds. Isolate assets involved in lawsuits early, and do not skip legal review before signing contracts. Absolutely avoid illicit gains, as they are a fuse for legal liabilities.
Emotional disputes are prone to escalating to court, especially those involving divorce asset division, marital property, and recovery of gifts, which are particularly protracted. Resolve issues through agreement rather than litigation. For significant financial transactions during a relationship, it is best to have clear written documentation.
Beware of health issues arising from overwork and recurring old ailments. Lungs, large intestine, skin, and old injuries from falls are prone to relapse. Those burdened by lawsuits are also susceptible to anxiety and insomnia debilitating their health. Treatment must address the root cause; do not stop medication as soon as improvement is seen. Deliberately schedule rest during litigation.
Beware of unexpected complications during travel: flawed documents, traffic violations, or border control inquiries could cause delays. Before departure, meticulously check all documents, visas, and vehicle paperwork. Adhere strictly to rules during travel to avoid providing any reason for inspection.
This formation is a classic indicator of litigation: endless, protracted lawsuits, with severe cases leading to imprisonment. It is imperative to engage professional lawyers for full oversight, ensuring every step follows proper procedure. Absolutely do not fabricate evidence or collude privately, as this could turn a civil case into a criminal one.
