Yue Ma （月马) - Moon Horse / Monthly Horse

[wuxuanyou]

Hi all,

I just checking some chinese online ZWDS charter, and found out their Tian Ma (天马) position is wrong. One of them is:
h t t p://www.18zw.com/paipan.html

First, I thought it's a bug, since they are some site that has correct Tian Ma position, such as:
h t t p://www.zhycw.com/pp/ziwei.aspx

Then, after I read a post from a forum, I found out that the wrong Tian Ma is actually referring to Yue Ma (月马). The calculation is same with Tian Ma, but the input is not birth year branch, but birth month branch (in lunar of course). So Yue Ma is actually monthly Tian Ma.

Below is the Tian Ma/Yue Ma position table:

Year/Month EB     Tian Ma/Yue Ma EB Position
===============================================
Zi (子)            Yin (寅)
Chou (丑)          Hai (亥)
Yin (寅)           Shen (申)
Mao (卯)           Si (巳)
Chen (辰)          Yin (寅)
Si (巳)            Hai (亥)
Wu (午)            Shen (申)
Wei (未)           Si (巳)
Shen (申)          Yin (寅)
You (酉)           Hai (亥)
Xu (戌)            Shen (申)
Hai (亥)           Si (巳)

Note:
For lunar month, you might usually use number (1,2,3,...) instead of EB, so to find out the EB from lunar month number, just remember that the first lunar month is always Yin (寅) month, second lunar month is Mao (卯) month, and so on. For example, if someone born on lunar date: 25 november 1995, the november is Zi month so the Tian Ma/Yue Ma is at Yin palace.

For intercalary month issue, you can read ZWDS notes by Annutara.
FYI, for the 18zw.com site above if your birth month falls on intercalary month, it would be calculated as next lunar month.

If you are interested on how is the Tian Ma/Yue Ma formula looks like, this is an excerpt from 王亭之 中州派紫微斗数初级讲义:

    18  安天马天空诀(年支)
    驾前一位是天空  身命原来不可逢寅申巳亥天马位  三合长生恰对冲
    天空在出生年支前一宫，例如午年生人，天空在未宫。     
    天马以三合局为准，冲三台长生之宫位，即安天马。如申子辰年生人，长生在
    申，寅冲申，故此三年生人，天马在寅。

Note: is there anyone can translate the bold word above? That's the only part that I'm not clear.

First you must understand about San He combination groups and their qi phases.

Just a quick summary, there are 4 San He combination groups:

Chang Sheng   Di Wang    Mu Ku     Element
=============================================
   Shen        Zi        Chen      Water
   Yin         Wu        Xu        Fire
   Hai         Mao       Wei       Wood
   Si          You       Chou      Metal

The important part is the Chang Sheng. The Tian Ma position is at the opposite of the Chang Sheng.
First, you must find out what's group of your EB belong to, and then find out the Chang Sheng and get the opposite EB.

For example:
If your birth year/month's EB is Mao, it's belong to Wood element group (as you can see from the table above), then you find out the Chang Sheng of the group, which is Hai, and the Tian Ma/Yue Ma should be at the opposite of Hai, which is Si (snake).

But I found it can be made more simple like this:

Birth Year/Month EB                    Tian Ma/Yue Ma EB Position
==============================================================
Shen (申), Zi (子), Chen (辰)             Yin (寅)
Yin (寅), Wu (午), Xu (戌)                Shen (申)
Hai (亥), Mao (卯), Wei (未)              Si (巳)
Si (巳), You (酉), Chou (丑)              Hai (亥)
