II. Canonical Formulas & Deduction Rules
Formula & Verse
Yang-Liang-Chang-Lu Formula:Sun (Taiyang) and Beam (Tianliang) residing in Mao or You palace, with Literary Star (Wenchang) and Prosperity Star (Lucun/Hua Lu) illuminating Life, Wealth, and Career palaces.
- Taiyang (Sun): Temple phase in Mao palace (Eastern Zenith).
- Tianliang (Beam): Protection Star illuminating in key palaces.
- Wenchang (Literary): Star of erudition providing academic brilliance.
- Lucun (Prosperity): Wealth foundation star illuminating in 3-point alignment.
III. Promote Conditions & Clash Avoidance
Classical Ziwei canons dictate: The Yang-Liang-Chang-Lu Pattern dreads Malefic Stars (Qingyang, Tuoluo, Huoxing, Lingxing, Dikong, Dije). If clashed by malefics, the noble structure breaks into ruin; if supported by Left/Right Assistants and Celestial Noble Stars, supreme rank is achieved.
