When Heavenly Stem Bing (Fire) is above Earthly Stem Geng (Metal), it signifies the Fire of Yinghuo (Mars) entering the domain of Taibai (Venus/Metal). This often indicates household ruin, loss due to theft, or financial depletion. Specifically for theft, the thief will retreat on their own; for safeguarding wealth, preventing theft is paramount.
Heavenly Stem Bing (丙) + Earthly Stem Geng (庚)
Geng is Taibai, Bing is Yinghuo. When Taibai enters Yinghuo, thieves will come. When Yinghuo enters Taibai, thieves must be eliminated.
Bing (丙) represents the star Yinghuo (Mars), and Geng (庚) represents the metal Taibai (Venus). When Heavenly Stem Bing is above Earthly Stem Geng, fire is positioned over metal, and the energy of conflict and clashing gathers in one palace, hence it is called 'Fire Enters Metal'. Principle of Formation: Bing fire clashes with Geng metal. Metal governs weapons and thieves, while fire signifies impulsiveness and conflict. When these two clash, it indicates household ruin, hidden financial depletion, and interpersonal disputes. Auspiciousness/Inauspiciousness Level: Inauspicious formation. The 《Song of the Misty Fisherman》 states, "When Yinghuo enters Taibai, thieves must be eliminated." When specifically divining about thieves, the thief's power will naturally recede, and lost items may be recovered. However, for general matters, this formation indicates signs of ruin for homes, shops, or organizations, with financial losses, followed by eventual stability. Precautions: This formation is opposite to 'Metal Enters Fire' (Heavenly Stem Geng above Earthly Stem Bing), where the latter indicates thieves arriving, and the former indicates thieves departing. When divining, one must first distinguish between the Heavenly and Earthly Stems. In autumn, metal is strong, and Geng metal is in season, making fire unable to effectively overcome it, leading to heavier losses. In summer, fire is strong, effectively restraining metal, slightly reducing the inauspiciousness. Encountering inauspicious doors or stars exacerbates losses; obtaining auspicious doors makes losses controllable. During the period of this formation, it is best to manage household accounts, guard valuables, avoid direct conflicts with others, and control losses to a minimum.
Indicates internal friction within the organization, interpersonal conflicts, and projects easily breaking down midway. It is not advisable to initiate confrontation or rashly change jobs. Guard against petty individuals undermining performance. It is best to stick to one's current position and keep records of work. When divining about competitors, their momentum will naturally decline, so one can observe and wait for changes.
Clear signs of financial loss and depletion. Guard against theft, accounting loopholes, and partners secretly misappropriating funds. Keep cash and valuables safe. Investing at this time often leads to initial losses. If divining about recovering lost items or debts, the opposing party's power will recede, and persistent pursuit may lead to partial recovery.
Fire and metal clashing indicate frequent arguments and conflicts, often over money or possessions. Guard against outsiders causing financial loss to the relationship. During disputes, one party is aggressive while the other is stubborn, leading to escalating conflict and breakdown. It is advisable to first clarify financial matters before discussing emotions; after a conflict, there may be room for reconciliation.
Metal governs the lungs, tendons, and bones. Being clashed by fire, pay attention to respiratory infections, coughs, injuries, and surgical matters. Rising fire energy also warns of minor bleeding injuries. The illness may come on suddenly, but vital energy can recover. Timely medical attention can often lead to recovery, so there is no need for excessive panic.
Preventing theft is the top priority when traveling. Guard valuables and documents carefully at stations and during journeys, preventing pickpocketing and loss of items. Travel plans may change due to disputes. When renting or driving a car, guard against scrapes and collisions. If divining about traveling to avoid harm, it is feasible; the 'thief energy' gradually recedes, so moving later is better than moving earlier.
Lawsuits often arise from financial losses, theft, or robbery disputes. If our side is the aggrieved party seeking recovery, the opponent's momentum will gradually weaken, and persistent evidence presentation can lead to compensation. If our side is the active party in the conflict, it is unfavorable; it is advisable to curb aggression and seek mediation. Guard against further financial losses during the litigation period.
