This article will delve into the concept of Tianyi Gui Ren and its application in traditional Chinese astrology. Tianyi Gui Ren, a star located beside Zhi Shu in the Purple Micro Constellation, is considered one of the most auspicious times. We will teach you how to calculate the best time for "Gui Ren Deng Tian Men" (the arrival of the auspicious person at the heavenly gate) through detailed diagrams and tables, and explore its practical applications in daily life.
Definition and Importance of Tianyi Gui Ren
Tianyi Gui Ren originates from a star located beside Zhi Shu in the Purple Micro Constellation, symbolizing auspicious fortune. In traditional Chinese astrology, Tianyi Gui Ren is considered the most auspicious time, known as "Gui Deng Tian Men Shi" (the time when the auspicious person ascends to the heavenly gate). This concept involves the division of Yin and Yang, where the yang gui starts from "Ji" and proceeds clockwise, while the yin gui starts from "Ji" and proceeds counterclockwise from "Shen". Understanding the calculation method of Tianyi Gui Ren is of great significance for choosing auspicious times and enhancing personal luck.
Tianyi Gui Ren Table and Calculation Methods
To determine the best time for "Gui Ren Deng Tian Men", we need to consider two key factors: first, using yang gui during the day and yin gui at night to ensure balance between Yin and Yang; second, using the mid-term of the 24 solar terms as the standard, i.e., based on the month's "Yue Jiang" (month's celestial stem). By referring to the table that matches the month's "Yue Jiang" with the month, we can determine the "Yue Jiang" for each month and then calculate the time for "Gui Ren Deng Tian Men". There are two specific methods: one is to start from the "Yue Jiang" palace position and count forward according to the day's "Gan Gui Ren" to reach the "Dong Pan Hai" (moving disk Hai), and the other is to count forward from the "Yue Jiang" position in the "Gan Gui Ren" Earthly Branch Palace to reach the "Di Pan Hai" (fixed disk Hai).
Application Examples of Gui Ren Deng Tian Men
For example, take an "Yi" day stem. If it is used in May during the Summer Solstice, the sun passes through the "Wei" palace, so "Wei" becomes the "Tian Yue Jiang" (heavenly month's celestial stem). According to method 1, the yang gui (Shen) for an "Yi" day stem ascends to the heavenly gate at "Xu" time, and the yin gui (Zi) ascends at "Wu" time. Through the diagram, we can more intuitively understand this calculation process. Xuanmen Qiankun Hall suggests that after learning a method you like, you can calculate it yourself and verify the results by comparing them with the table.
Correspondence of Auspicious and Inauspicious Times for Gui Ren Deng Tian Men and Precautions
"Gui Ren Deng Tian Men" is the most auspicious time, and its effect can transform the malevolent stars and the destructive power of the "Ri Po" (day breaking) into auspicious. However, when encountering "Jie Lu Kong Wang" (a dangerous time) or "Wu Bu Yu" (five inauspicious times), its effect will be greatly reduced. Therefore, in practical applications, we need to combine the day's configuration for comprehensive analysis to achieve the best results. In addition, this article provides a detailed list of the yin and yang guis for the ten day stems, as well as a comparison table of the monthly "Yue Jiang" for readers' reference.
Through this detailed introduction and diagram, we have learned about the concept of Tianyi Gui Ren, its calculation methods, and its application in daily life. Mastering the calculation of the time for "Gui Ren Deng Tian Men" can help us choose auspicious times at important moments and enhance our personal luck. At the same time, we should also pay attention to the balance between Yin and Yang and the changes in the solar terms to ensure the accuracy of the calculation. We hope this article can provide you with practical guidance and assistance.
