When do people with a water element transfer?
According to an ancient saying:The time of transfer varies for each person, determined by the natal sound of the year.
Fire element people transfer before the Qingming Festival, three days before, at noon.
Earth element people transfer after the Grain Buds, nine days later, at the Chen hour.
Metal element people transfer on the Chushu day, exactly at the Shen hour on that day.
Wood element people transfer on the Greater Cold, exactly at the Yin hour on that day.
Water element people transfer before the Winter Solstice, three days before, at the Hai hour.
On the day of transfer, do not go out, to avoid conflict with your own zodiac sign.
For three days, avoid red or white events, and ensure physical strength and prosperity of family business.
—The time for water element people to transfer is three days before the Winter Solstice. Although water is generated by metal, the ancients did not fully choose a mutually reinforcing relationship here, but instead chose the time of the Winter Solstice, when "the yang energy begins to arise", to transfer, choosing the original position of water.
Three days before the Winter Solstice is a time of intense coldness. Although the Winter Solstice is cold, “the yang energy begins to arise” and it is no longer purely yin and cold water (yang transforms into energy, while yin forms matter). These three days are precisely when the water energy is sufficient.
The reason for setting it at the Hai hour three days before is because in the twelve terrestrial branches, Hai and Zi represent water. The Hai hour is yin water, making it more suitable for the characteristics of water.
What method is used for the transfer?
Evading stars.After determining the date, cover all transparent areas of the bedroom with red cloth to prevent light from entering the room. The person should sit in the center of the room, facing the direction of the long life of the annual natal sound, and silently pray. During this time, do not see any zodiac signs or animal sounds that conflict or harm the person's birth chart and fetal origin. It is also taboo to wear white mourning clothes or to be near a pregnant woman or a woman on her period. It is best to carry a star-evading talisman during the evading stars ritual. The star-evading talisman should be stamped with cinnabar and Taoist seals, written on yellow paper with cinnabar, and performed in front of the deity.
