On Taking Luck in the Seal Structure (Yin Shou Qu Yun)

Matching the Luck to the Form of the Seal Structure

The seal structure takes luck by the form it completes. Shen lists them: the seal using the officer (wealth luck may be auspicious when the officer is revealed and the seal heavy), the seal carrying wounding or food, the seal using wounding or food, the seal using seven killings (wounding and food welcome, wealth fatal), the seal meeting wealth (robbers welcome, wealth dreaded), and the seal with officer and killings both revealed. He closes with the warning that even a light seal must not meet wealth.
