The sixth star of the northern dipper, Metal, and the ruler of the Wealth palace. In the same palace as the Treasury (天府) there is long life. It exercises its authority across the twelve palaces, and its ground may be Exalted (庙), Strong (旺) or Fallen (陷). In a person it means a firm and decisive nature, with gladness and anger both in it, and blessing or calamity both possible. Meeting the trapped (囚) star in the Zhen, the east (震) palace it certainly means a broken undertaking and long delay. Running with the Hoard and the Steed (禄马), wealth is made in a distant province. Sharing the palace with the Wolf (贪狼), a mean and grudging person. With the Disruptor (破军) in the country of wealth, money reaches the hand and comes to nothing. Malefics gathered make calamity; benefics gathered make good fortune. Master Xiyi (希夷先生) says: The Iron (武曲) is Metal, governing long life in heaven and wealth in the reckoning. It fears being held down and badly placed, and welcomes the Hoard (禄存) governing with it. With the Moon (太阴) it shares authority; the Treasury and the Minister (天相) are its assisting stars; Wealth and Property are its particular charge. Harsh malefics, the Great Drain (大耗) and the trapped meeting in the Zhen, the east palace, and one certainly meets wood falling and thunder striking. The Disruptor and the Wolf meeting in the Kan, the north (坎) palace, and one drowns. Meeting the Hoard and the Steed, wealth is made in a distant province. Meeting the Wolf, the early years are unfavourable — hence the saying that Iron holding the Self is no light blessing, and that a Wolf does not open out for a young man. Well placed with the peach blossom (桃花) in the same palace, it profits itself and costs others. With the General (七杀) and the Flare (火星), wealth is taken by robbery. Meeting the Blade (擎羊) and the Millstone (陀罗), solitude and harm; meeting the Disruptor, honour is hard to show. With the Disruptor in the same place, and coming into either limit, it certainly means disputes. Broadly, the Iron holding the Self makes a person firm, strong and decisive; born under Yang Wood (甲) or Yin Earth (己) the blessing is thick, and one goes out a general and returns a minister. Getting the Wolf and the Flare breaking in as well, it is certainly an honoured pattern. It likes a person born in the north-west; those born in the south-east are ordinary and do not keep the ancestral estate. With the four malefics breaking in, solitude and poverty in one form or another, and a scar lengthens the years. A woman with many benefics is an honoured wife; with malefics breaking in, solitude and harm.

答曰：武曲北斗第六星，屬金，乃財帛宮主。與天府同宮有壽，其施權於十二宮分，其臨地有廟、旺、陷宮。主於人，性剛果決，有喜有怒，可福可災。若陷囚會於震宮，必為破主淹留之舉。與祿馬交馳，發財於遠郡。若貪狼同度，慳吝之人。破軍同財鄉，財到手而成空。諸凶聚而作禍，吉集以成祥。希夷先生曰：武曲屬金，在天司壽，在數司財。怕受制入陷，喜祿存而同政。與太陰以互權，天府、天相為佐貳之星，財帛田宅為專司之所。惡殺耗囚會於震宮，必見木壓雷震。破軍貪狼會於坎宮，必主投河溺水。會祿馬則發財遠郡。貪狼會則少年不利。所謂武曲守命福非輕，貪狼不發少年郎是也。廟樂桃花同宮，利己損人。七殺火星同宮，因財被劫。遇羊陀則孤克，遇破軍難顯貴。若與破軍同位，更臨二限之中，定主是非之撓。蓋武曲守命，主人剛強果斷，甲己生人福厚，出將入相。更得貪火沖破，定為貴格。喜西北生人，東南生人平常，不守祖業。四殺沖破孤貧不一，破相延年。女人吉多為貴婦，加殺沖破孤克。

Zi Wei Dou Shu Quan Shu (紫微斗数全书), vol. 1 — What does the Iron govern? (問武曲星所主為何？)

Alone and well placed, a great estate from the father. Badly placed, it comes only after loss. With the Disruptor (破军) and the Great Drain (大耗), the family property is scattered, and what there is does not last. With the Minister (天相), loss first and property after; with the General (七杀), no appetite for it; with the Treasury (天府), a household already made is kept; with the Wolf (贪狼), acquired late. Meeting Fire (火) or the Ember (铃), excellent — property flourishing. With the Void and the Plunder (空劫), in and out.

武曲单居旺地，得祖父大业，陷地退后方成，破军大耗同破荡家产，有也不耐久，天相同先见破后方有，七杀同心不欲，天府同守见成家业，贪狼同晚置，见火铃星同极美，田产茂盛，同空劫有进有退。

The sixth star of the southern dipper, Fire and Metal. It is the senior general within the dipper, and truly the solitary star of success and failure. In the dipper it holds the dipper's handle and governs discipline. Its authority works as Metal's spirit, and its nature is like a cold clear air. In the reckoning it suits a religious life; in the Self it certainly passes through hardship. In the Self, if the limit does not support it, life is cut short; in Career on its ground, it turns calamity into good fortune. In Children the children stand few; in Spouse the marriage bed is half cold. Meeting the Punisher (天刑) or the trapped (囚) in Property or Parents, harm to the parents and an estate hard to keep. Meeting the Punisher, the Trouble transformation (化忌) or a malefic in Travel or Health, infirmity for a lifetime — and even standing alone, the years should not be long. With the trapped in the Self, a broken arm or leg, and consumption besides. Meeting the trapped and the Great Drain (大耗) in Travel, death on the road. Coming to a weak palace the injury is a little less; falling in a truly yin palace, the trouble runs deep. The year's malefics must not be met; where the Body's malefic stars pile up at Dragon (辰) and Dog (戌), where the Body meets ill stars in an important place, where the Self meets malefics across the trine, and the year's malefics pile on again, and both limits meet it too, it means death in battle or a violent end. Joining the Sun (太阳) and the Voice (巨门) in a strong palace it is favourable; sitting on the Void (空亡) and offending the Punisher and the malefics, the trouble is not light. Where both limits join the Self and meet a malefic, even the emperor's command has no effect; clashing across the trine, even Fortune (禄) has no force. A hero of the age held down by a malefic — and here the whole thing is a dream. This is the ground of the overturned limit, and what it governs must be weighed with great care. It is an ill star of the reckoning and truly not a good one. Master Xiyi (希夷先生) says: The General (七杀) is the senior general in the dipper. Meeting the Emperor star (紫微) it is transformed to the Power transformation (化权) and brings blessing down; meeting the Flare (火星) or the Ember (铃星) it lengthens its killing force. Meeting an ill star in living ground it is certainly a butcher; meeting the Scholar and the Artist (昌曲) in an important place, the temper is stubborn and loud. The secret classic says: The General badly placed, brooding, and no blessing arises. The Self and the Body meeting it certainly pass through hardship, and either limit meeting it takes calamity and ruin. Meeting the emperor and the Fortune it can be resolved; meeting the year's malefics it meets ill. Holding the Self it advances and retreats in what it does, with gladness and anger not constant. With the two Aides (左右) and the Scholar and the Artist well placed and shining in trine, it holds the power of life and death, and its wealth and rank stand out. If the four malefics or Trouble break in, a craftsman and an ordinary person; badly placed, infirmity. A woman on strong ground commands money and authority and her will passes her husband's. For a monk it suits; and with malefics gathered, drifting and moving, and a return to lay life. The song runs: The General at Tiger (寅), Monkey (申), Rat (子) or Horse (午) — the four quarters give way to the hero. With the two Patrons (魁钺), the two Aides and the Scholar (文昌) meeting, authority and income, a high name and ten thousand measures to eat. The General badly placed is past speaking of, the ill of it like sleeping holding a tiger; and if the malefic is strong with nothing to hold it down, a young man dies badly and goes to the Yellow Springs.

答曰：七殺南斗第六星也，屬火、金。乃斗中之上將，實成敗之孤辰。在斗司斗柄，主於風憲。其威作金之靈，其性若清涼之狀。主於數則宜僧道，主於身定歷艱辛。在命宮若限不扶夭折，在官祿得地，化禍為祥。在子息，而子息孤單；居夫婦而鴛衾半冷。會刑囚於田宅、父母，刑傷父母，產業難留。逢刑忌殺於遷移、疾厄，終身殘疾，縱使一身孤獨，也應壽年不長。與囚於身命，折肱傷股，又主癆傷。會囚耗於遷移，死於道路。若臨陷弱之宮，為殘較減。若值正陰之宮，作禍憂深。流年殺曜莫教逢，身殺星辰戌迭並，身殺逢惡曜於要地，命逢殺曜於三方，流殺又迭並，二限之中又逢，主陣亡掠死。合太陽巨門會帝旺之鄉則吉，處空亡犯刑殺遭禍不輕。大小二限合身命逢殺，雖帝制也無功。三合對沖，雖祿亦無力。蓋世英雄為殺制，此時一夢南柯。此乃倒限之地，所主務要仔細推詳，乃數中之惡曜，實非善星也。希夷先生曰：七殺斗中上將，遇紫微則化權降福，遇火鈴則長其殺威。遇凶曜於生鄉定為屠宰，會昌曲於要地，情性頑囂。祕經云：七殺居陷地，沉吟福不生是也。身命二宮逢之定歷艱辛，二限逢之遭殃破敗。遇帝祿而可解，遭流殺而逢凶。守身命作事進退，喜怒不常。左右昌曲入廟拱照，掌生殺之權，富貴出眾。若四殺忌星沖破，巧藝平常之人，陷地殘疾。女命旺地，財權服眾，志過丈夫。僧道宜之，若殺湊飄蕩，流移還俗。歌曰七殺寅申子午宮，四夷拱手服英雄，魁鉞左右文昌會，權祿名高食萬鍾，殺居陷地不堪言，凶禍猶如抱虎眠，若是殺強無制伏，少年惡死到黃泉。

Zi Wei Dou Shu Quan Shu (紫微斗数全书), vol. 1 — 問七殺星所主若何？

Water, the fourth star of the south, and the ruler of the Wellbeing palace. It is also said: transformed to blessing, it most welcomes meeting benefics, which help the blessing and add good fortune. It makes a person upright and clean, with a clear and unusual look. It has a hinge and a pivot in it and nothing violent; it does not fear the General (七杀) pressing on it, nor the malefics winding round it. A limit meeting it gets its ground for a life, and in all twelve palaces it is called blessing — unbroken, it is certainly good fortune. Master Xiyi (希夷先生) says: The Blessing (天同) is the southern dipper's star of added reckoning and preserved life. Transformed to the Fortune transformation (化禄) it is good; meeting benefics it is fortunate. Falling in the Self it makes a person modest and mild in temper, certainly kind and plain-spoken, accomplished with the brush, with a rare will and nothing violent in it. It does not fear the General pressing on it or the ill stars sharing its degree, and in all twelve palaces it is read as blessing. Meeting the two Aides (左右), the Scholar (文昌) and the Elder (天梁) it is honoured and prominent. It likes those born under Yang Water (壬), Yin Wood (乙) or Yang Fire (丙), and gets its ground at Snake (巳) and Pig (亥). It does not suit one born under the six Yang Metal years (六庚) sitting at Rooster (酉), who keeps nothing for a lifetime. Meeting the four malefics at Snake or Pig it is badly placed: infirmity, solitude and harm. With the Elder and the Moon (太阴) breaking in, a religious life suits, and blessing is enjoyed.

答曰：天同星屬水，乃南方第四星也，為福德宮之主宰。復云：化福最喜遇吉曜，助福添祥，為人廉潔，貌稟清奇。有機樞無亢激，不怕七殺相侵，不怕諸殺同纏。限若逢之，一生得地，十二宮中皆曰福，無破定為祥。希夷先生曰：天同南斗益算保生之星，化祿為善，逢吉為祥，身命值之，主為人謙遜，稟性溫和。必慈鯁直，文墨精通，有奇志無凶激。不忌七殺相侵，不畏諸凶同度，十二宮中皆為福論。遇左右昌梁貴顯，喜壬乙丙生人，巳亥得地。不宜六庚生人居酉地，終身不守。會四殺居巳亥為陷，殘疾孤克。女人逢殺沖破，梁月沖破，僧道宜之，主享福。

Zi Wei Dou Shu Quan Shu (紫微斗数全书), vol. 1 — What does the Blessing govern? (問天同星所主若何？)

Gladness, blessing and long life. With the Voice (巨门), much worry and little joy; with the Moon (太阴), blessing; with the Elder (天梁), leisure and gladness.

天同快乐有福有寿，巨门同多忧少喜，太阴同享福，天梁同清闲快乐。

source. How this was translated.

Earth, the second star of the southern dipper. It governs long life; its transformed nature is shade, blessing and long years, and it is the ruling star of Parents, turning what is violent into what is harmonious. In a person's chart the nature is open and clear; in the features, weighty, mild and modest, straight and without private motive. Facing a matter it decides. Its shade covers the Self, and the blessing reaches the children. Meeting the Scholar and the Artist (昌曲) in the Wealth palace, and the Sun (太阳) in Wellbeing in trine, it is a name secure on every side, prominent in the royal house, in the office of the censorate. Meeting the Great Drain (大耗), and the Strategist (天机) and a malefic besides, a religious life suits — and even then a royal patent is received. Sharing a degree with the Wolf (贪狼) or the Voice (巨门), ritual and household are both disordered. In Servants, Health or Appearance it is read as abundance. Meeting the Mystic (廉贞), the Punisher (天刑) or the Trouble transformation (化忌), there is certainly no fear of calamity or harm; meeting the Flare and the Ember (火铃), the Punisher or darkness, there is no trouble of campaigning either. The year’s ruling star (Tai Sui, 太岁) clashing it makes blessing; the White Tiger (白虎) coming to it brings no disaster. Reasoned this far, the reckoning decides between straitness and passage. If the Self or the opposite palace holds the Elder (天梁) it means long life — it is a star of the utmost good. Master Xiyi (希夷先生) says again: The Elder is the southern dipper's star in charge of long life, its transformed nature shade and years. It assists the high emperor's authority and is the ruler of Parents. It makes a person clear, fine and mild, steady in form and spirit, open in nature, and good at knowing the art of war. Getting the Scholar and the Artist and the two Aides (左右) gathered, a place in the high offices. In the Parents palace it is weighty and commanding; meeting the Sun in Wellbeing, honour of the first grade. Those born under Yang Earth (戊) or Yin Earth (己) fit the pattern. With the four malefics breaking in, it sprouts and does not flower. Meeting the Strategist and the Great Drain, a quiet religious life. Sharing a degree with the Wolf or the Voice, it ruins the proper order. In Servants and Health, read as abundance. The Mystic, the Punisher or Trouble meeting it, there is no fear of an enemy; the Flare and the Ember, the Punisher or darkness meeting it, no trouble of campaigning. The Tai Sui clashing makes blessing and the White Tiger meeting brings no calamity. The Memorial (奏书) meeting it brings unlooked-for glory, the Green Dragon (青龙) stirring brings the gladness of documents. The Small Drain (小耗) and the Great Drain crossing, nothing undertaken succeeds; the Sickness Charm (病符) and the Lawsuit (官符) pressing in are not read as calamity. A woman with benefics well placed is good for husband and children; with the Scholar and the Artist and the two Aides supporting, a title; with the Blade (擎羊), the Millstone (陀罗), the Flare (火星) or Trouble breaking in, harm and trouble drawn on. For a monk it suits. The song runs: The Elder is Earth by nature, the most favourable star of the southern dipper; transformed to shade it is called lengthened life, the ruling star of the Parents palace. In Property or Siblings, blessing arises of itself. The form and spirit hold themselves steady, the nature is more level still; born with no calamity, with a name made in writing; kin are the more harmonious, and in office one stands in the royal court. If the Voice meets it, toil and hardship gone through; if the Strategist shines on it, a monk enjoying the mountain woods. With the two stars at Dragon (辰) or Dog (戌), blessing and long life need no arguing.

答曰：天梁屬土，南斗第二星也。司壽化氣為蔭為福壽，乃父母之主命化暴戾為祥和。於人命則性情磊落，於相貌則厚重溫謙，循直無私。臨事果決，蔭於身福及子孫。遇昌曲於財宮，逢太陽於福德三合，乃萬全聲名。顯於王室職位，臨於風憲。若逢耗曜，更逢天機及殺，宜僧道，亦受王家制誥。逢貪巨同度而亂禮亂家。居奴僕、疾厄、相貌作豐餘之論。見廉貞刑忌，必無災厄克激之虞；遇火鈴刑暗，亦無征戰之撓。太歲沖而為福，白虎臨而無殃。論而至此，數決窮通之論也。命或對宮有天梁主有壽，乃極吉之星。希夷先生又曰：天梁南斗司壽之星，化氣為蔭為壽。佐上帝威權，為父母主，生人清秀溫和，形神穩重，性情磊落，善識兵法。得昌曲左右加會，位至臺省。在父母宮則厚重威嚴，會太陽於福德，極品之貴。戊己生人合局，若四殺沖破則苗而不秀，逢天機耗曜，僧道清閑。於貪巨同度，則敗倫亂俗。在奴僕疾厄作豐餘之論。廉貞刑忌見之，必無克敵之虞。火鈴刑暗遇之，亦無征戰之撓。太歲沖而為福，白虎會而無災。奏書會則有意外之榮，青龍動則有文書之喜。小耗大耗交遇所幹無成，病符官符相侵不為災論。女人吉星入廟，旺夫益子，昌曲左右扶持封贈，羊陀火忌沖破，僧道宜之。歌曰天梁原屬土，南斗最吉星，化蔭名延壽，父母宮主星，田宅兄弟內，得之福自生，形神自持重，心性更和平，生來無災患，文章有聲名，六親更和睦，仕宦居王庭，巨門若相會，勞碌歷艱辛，若逢天機照，僧道享山林，二星在辰戌，福壽不須論。

Zi Wei Dou Shu Quan Shu (紫微斗数全书), vol. 1 — What does the Elder govern? (問天梁星所主若何？)

Earth, the honoured star of the central heaven, the emperor's seat. It holds the pivot of creation and is the ruler of a life. Leaning on the five phases it raises all things, and by a person's chart it fixes the reckoning. In any palace it brings blessing down and can dissolve a hundred ills. Look at the Three Terraces (三臺) with it: an Emperor star (紫微) holding the Self is the middle terrace, the palace before it the upper and the palace after the lower — see whether they are well placed, and what favourable or ill stars guard and shine on them. Well placed and transformed to good it is very fine; badly placed and transformed to ill, very ill. If the Self meets the Hoard (禄存) in the same palace with the sun and moon shining in trine, the honour is beyond words. Without the Left Aide (左辅) and the Right Aide (右弼) travelling with it, it is a lone ruler — fine jade, and not enough. With malefics in the same palace, or benefics only shining across, the gentleman is in the fields and the small man in office: the person is cunning under a show of goodness, and ill accumulates through the life. Sitting with the trapped (囚) star and no the two Aides (左右) to assist, it makes a clerk. Falling in Health, Siblings, Servants or Appearance — the four weak palaces — it means toil and nothing completed; even help does not make blessing of it. In Career or the Self, those three palaces above all need the two Aides guarding them. With the Minister (天相) and the Hoard and the Steed (禄马) running together, not falling into the Void (空亡), and seated on living ground, it may be read as honour. With the two Patrons (魁钺) and the Three Terraces meeting benefics it makes the Three Terraces and Eight Seats (三臺八座). The emperor meeting the Scholar (文昌) shining across, with a good period supporting it, means a post won by examination. The emperor bringing the General (七杀) down to authority, with a benefic in the same palace, means emperor and minister both have force, all the benefics gathered, and a military post. In Wealth or Property with the two Aides guarding, together with the Moon (太阴) and the Iron (武曲) and no harsh star, it makes an officer of revenue; and with the Iron and the Hoard in the same palace it is more remarkable still in the Self. In Children with favourable assistance, honoured children; alone with no assistance, the children stand few. In Spouse meeting benefics, a fine partner and growing old together — and that too needs no breaking malefic. Travel is a strong palace but still wants assistance. In Wellbeing it is weak ground for a man and strong for a woman: meeting favourable it is favourable, meeting ill it is ill. Master Xiyi (希夷先生) says: The Emperor star is the emperor's seat and in any palace brings blessing and clears calamity, dissolving the ill of the other stars. It can hold the Flare and the Ember (火铃) to good and bring the General down to authority. Getting the Treasury (天府), the Minister, the two Aides, the Scholar and the Artist (昌曲) and the benefics gathered, there is nothing that is not honour; failing that, still great wealth. Even with the four malefics breaking in, judge it a middle chart. Meeting the Disruptor (破军) at Dragon (辰), Dog (戌), Ox (丑) or Goat (未), it means a minister who is not loyal and a son who is not filial. A woman meeting it is judged an honoured wife; with malefics breaking in, still ordinary and not low. The song runs: The Emperor star is Earth by nature, the ruling star of the Career palace; with a minister it is of use, without one it is a lone ruler. In every palace it brings blessing down, and meeting ill the blessing extends itself. The Scholar opens the examinations, the Artist (文曲) receives the imperial favour; for a monk it means a teacher's title and a life passed in ease. With all the stars shining in, a clerk who keeps things fair. If the Blade (擎羊), the Flare (火星) and the Ember (铃星) gather, thieves and pilferers; with benefics in trine, then judge honour. Without the Left Aide and the Right Aide, all the ill drink together and press it down — an emperor without a way to rule, and the cause must be looked into. When the two limits meet the emperor, gladness renews itself. Master Yuchan (玉蟾先生) says: The Emperor star is the ruler of the central heaven, the hinge of all the stars and of creation itself. Broadly it is the ruler of a life, holding the five phases and raising all things, each with its own charge: The Left Aide and the Right Aide as its ministers, the Minister and the Scholar and the Artist as its followers, the two Patrons as its heralds, the sun and moon as its divisions, the Hoard and the Steed as the office of rank, the Treasury as the keeper of the treasury. Meeting it in the Self, the good of it is beyond measure. Meeting the four malefics, the Plunder (地劫), the Sky Void (天空), the Strategist (天机) or the Elder (天梁) breaking in, it is certainly a religious life. This star in the Self makes a person weighty and generous, with a purple cast to the face, and is read as favourable outright.

答曰：紫微屬土，乃中天之尊星為帝座，主掌造化樞機，人生主宰。仗五行育萬物，以人命為之立定數。安星纏各根所司，處年數內常掌爵祿。諸宮降福能消百惡。須看三臺，蓋紫微守命是中臺，前一位是上臺，後一位是下臺。俱看在廟旺之鄉否，有何吉凶之守照。如廟旺化吉甚妙，陷又化凶甚凶。吉限不為美，凶限則凶也。人之身命若值祿存同宮，日月三合相照，貴不可言。無輔弼同行則為孤君，雖美玉不足。更與諸殺同宮，或諸吉合照，君子在野，小人在位。主人奸詐假善，平生惡積。與囚同居，無左右相佐，定為胥吏。如落疾厄、兄弟、奴僕、相貌、四陷宮，主人勞碌作事無成，雖得助亦不為福。更宜詳細宮度，應究星纏之論。若居官祿身命，三宮最要左右守衛。天相祿馬交馳，不落空亡，更坐生鄉，可為貴論。如魁鉞三臺星會吉星。則三臺八座矣。帝會文昌拱照，又得美限扶，必文選之職。帝降七殺為權，有吉同位，則帝相有氣。諸吉咸集，作武官之職。財帛田宅有左右守衛，又與太陰武曲同度，不見惡星，必為財賦之官。更與武曲祿存同宮，身命中尤為奇特。男女宮得祥佐吉星，主生貴子。若獨守無相佐，則子息孤單。妻宮會吉，男女得貴美夫婦諧老，亦要無破殺。遷移雖是強宮，更要相佐，有吉星照命，則因人之貴。福德男為陷地，女為廟樂，逢吉則吉，逢凶則凶。希夷先生曰：紫微為帝座，在諸宮能降福消災，解諸星之惡虛。能制火鈴為善，能降七殺為權。若得府相左右昌曲吉集，無有不貴。不然亦主巨富。縱有四殺沖破亦作中局。若遇破軍在辰戌丑未，主為臣不忠，為子不孝之論。女命逢之作貴婦斷。加殺沖破，亦作平常不為下賤。歌曰紫微原屬土，官祿宮主星，有相為有用，無相為孤君，諸宮皆降福，逢凶福自申，文昌發科甲，文曲受皇恩，僧道有師號，快樂度春秋，眾星皆拱照，為吏協公平，女人會帝座，遇吉事貴人，若與桃花會，擎羊火鈴聚，鼠竊狗偷群，三方有吉拱，方作貴人評，若還無輔弼，諸惡共飲凌，帝為無道主，考究要知因，二限若遇帝，喜氣自然新。玉蟾先生曰：紫微乃中天星主，為眾星之樞紐，為造化也。大抵為人命之主宰，掌五行育萬物，各有所司。以左輔右弼為相，以天相昌曲為從，以魁鉞為傳令，以日月為分司，以祿馬為掌爵之司，以天府為帑藏之主，身命逢之，不勝其吉。如遇四殺— 羊陀火鈴、劫空機梁沖破，定是僧道。此星在命，為人厚重，面紫色，專作吉斷。

Zi Wei Dou Shu Quan Shu (紫微斗数全书), vol. 1 — What does the Emperor star govern? (問紫微所主若何？)

Few ailments; with the Treasury (天府), few as well. With the Minister (天相), the skin suffers. With the Disruptor (破军), blood and breath out of balance. With the Blade (羊) and the Ember (铃), a hidden complaint. With the Void and the Plunder (空劫), fevers and disorders of the heart.

紫微灾少，天府同亦少，天相同皮胎劳，如加破军血气不和，同羊铃主有暗疾，加空劫主疢疾心气疾。
