十天干类象详解汇总
十天干类象详解： 甲木 1 、滴天髓云： “甲木参天脱胎要火；水荡骑虎，火炽乘龙；地润天合，植立千古。”这几句已经说出了甲木的特性与喜忌，是我们推命时应掌握的一些通用原则 2、甲木为东方木,应震卦,震为雷,古人说甲木为雷,可以看到甲木气质轻清向上,快速积极,刚健的性质.甲木代表阳木,如森林,乔木,大树等.一棵健康的树木是离不开阳光的,也就是良好的光合作用来使其生长成材。 3、春天的甲木一般在雨水前需要丙丁火来驱除寒气,故甲木参天,脱胎要火,在雨水后,要庚金劈甲来引出丁火取贵。 4、夏天的甲木火旺木燥,地支须有水润,使木性不至于焚灭,干支生克则地润天合,植立千古.如果八字中火过多,须辰土来即火炽乘龙.为何是辰而不用丑?因辰为水库，其中乙木可以使甲木盘根,有癸水湿润，比丑土(己,辛,癸)要有效率的多，丑为金库，有损木力。 5、秋天的甲木凋零,一般以水印化官杀为用,另须木来帮助,地支最好有根基,即寅卯且不被冲合.如果是九月霜降后,还须适量的火来温暖。秋月金旺，以丁火制约庚辛为佳，反生之功效。 6、冬天的甲木寒冷,以火反生,即阳光普照则光合作用充分.如水过多漂木,则须寅木扎根,即水荡骑虎,寅木中有戊土止水,丙火温暖,甲木相助,甲、丙、戊联合运用,缺一不可，使寅木虎发挥最佳用神效果.其次可以用未土,未是燥木库,能纳水助甲,调节气温,也很不错。所以命中喜寅的人喜欢养猫,或者遇到属虎的朋友,上司帮助大,或者说缺寅的人带虎生肖饰品,家中挂幅虎画,熊猫画，养猫能改良命运。 7、命局如木火二行，成木火通明时，要看节气的深浅。要防灰飞烟灭之虞，故须看干 支水火体性，木火虽通明，也不可忽略甲木的本质，地润兼要火的认识须深入。 8、六壬中甲木主青龙，木将，主财宝、婚姻、喜庆、增福解祸，吉将。在人为辅弼、 大臣、司金铸之官、高雅端方之士、富户、媒妁、僧道。 在物为财宝、文字、重器、衣服、绢帛、羽毛、文彩、龙鱼、水族、虎豹、猫狸、林木、舟车、棺椁、枷棒、筵宴、酒食、果菜，於祟为木神、司命。 9、在《玉照定真经》中讲到“寅申庚甲，商路吏人”，甲（寅)木可以看做功曹,也就是看日元为庚还是甲，就能明确其从事职业特性了。这和六壬中甲木的形意是密切相关的。
