不及运一十七法此阴年也
对于岁运不及的十七种情况，这些都属于阴年。
一、乙丑金运不及，丑为阴年。为何要减去九刻？因为丑属土，其数为五；乙为金运不及，金生水，不及则从母（生我者）之数，即四。四加五共成九，所以减去九刻。这是阴年减刻的法度。当交运之时，面向辰方观望。原本乙寄宫在辰，先见到绿色气显现，待绿色气消失后，接着有白色气从乙方向横流至丑方才结束。其颜色清淡，运行缓慢。或者有红色气并至，表示火行胜复；随后有黑色气到来，表示水行复气。
二、乙未，乙金运不及，未为阴年。为何要减去九刻？因为未属土，其数为五；乙金运不及，从生数四。四加五共成九，所以减去九刻。当交运时面向辰方观望。先见到绿色气显现，待绿色气消失后，接着有白色气从乙方向至未方才结束。如果有红色气并来，就知道胜气很盛；如果红色气后来才来，说明胜气微弱。黑色气随后到来，若气势大则复气甚，若气势小则复气微。
三、乙亥，乙金运不及，亥为阴年。为何要减去十刻？因为亥属干（西北），其数为六；乙金运不及，从生数四。四加六共成十，所以减去十刻。当交运时面向辰方观望。先见到绿色气显现，待绿色气消失后，接着有白色气从乙方向至辰方才结束。其颜色清淡，运行缓慢。红色气并来，胜气就盛；随后到来，胜气就微。黑色气随后到来，若气势大则复气大，若气势小则复气小。
四、乙巳，乙金运不及，巳为阴年。为何要减去八刻？因为巳属巽（东南），其数为四；乙金运不及，从生数四。四加四共成八，所以减去八刻。当交运时面向辰方观望。先见到绿色气显现，待绿色气消失后，接着有白色气从乙方向至巳方才结束。其颜色清淡，运行缓慢。红色气并来，胜气深重；随后到来，胜气微。黑色气随后到来，若气势大则复气大，若气势小则复气小。
五、丁丑，丁木运不及，丑为阴年。为何要减去八刻？因为丑属土，其数为五；丁木运不及，从生数三（水生木）。三加五共成八，所以减去八刻。当交运时面向未方观望。丁本寄宫在未，先见到红色气显现，待红色气消失后，接着有青色气从丁方向至丑方才结束。终时有白色气并来，表示金胜则势盛；白色气随后到来，胜气就微。随后有红色气到来，若气势大则火复气大，若气势小则火复气小。早得或迟得复气皆有可能。
六、丁未，丁木运不及，未为阴年。为何要减去八刻？因为未属土，其数为五；丁木运不及，从生数三。三加五共成八，所以减去八刻。当交运时面向未方观望。先见到红色气显现，待红色气消失后，接着有青色气向上起而不横流，直至未方。因为丁的本宫在未，所以不横流。如果有白色气并见，表示金胜则势盛；随后见到的白色气，胜气就微。随后有红色气来，若气势大则火复气大，若气势小则火复气小。
七、丁酉，丁木运不及，酉为阴年。为何要减去十刻？因为酉属兑（正西），其数为七；木运不及，从生数三。三加七共成十，所以减去十刻。当交运时面向未方观望。先见到红色气显现，待红色气消失后，接着有青色气从丁方向横流至酉方才结束。其颜色清淡，运行缓慢。白色气并来，金胜则势盛；随后到来，胜气就小。红色气随后到来，若气势大则火复气大，若气势小则火复气小。
八、己卯，己土运不及，卯为阴年。为何要减去八刻？因为卯属震（正东），其数为三；己土运，其数为五。土无成数，只有生数五。三加五共成八，所以减去八刻。当交运时面向未方观望。己亦寄宫在未，先见到紫色气显现，待紫色气消失后，接着有黄色气从巳方向横流至卯方才结束。青色气并来，木胜则势盛；随后到来，木胜就微。随后有白色气来，若气势大则金复气大，若气势小则金复气小。
九、己酉，己土运不及，酉为阴年。为何要减去十二刻？因为酉属兑，其数为七；己土运不及，其数为五。七加五共成十二，所以减去十二刻。当交运时面向未方观望。先见到紫色气显现，待紫色气消失后，接着有黄色气从己方向横流至酉方才结束。青色气并来，木胜则势盛；随后到来，木胜就小。随后有白色气来，若气势大则金复气大，若气势小则金复气小。
十、己巳，己土运不及，巳为阴年。为何要减去九刻？因为巳属巽，其数为四；己土运不及，其数为五。四加五共成九，所以减去九刻。当交运时面向未方观望。先见到紫色气显现，待紫色气消失后，接着有黄色气从己方向横流至巳方才结束。青色气并来，木胜则势盛；随后到来，木胜就小。随后有白色气来，若气势大则金复气大，若气势小则金复气小。
十一、己亥，己土运不及，亥为阴年。为何要减去十一刻？因为亥属干，其数为六；己土运不及，其数为五。五加六共成十一，所以减去十一刻。当交运时面向未方观望。先见到紫色气显现，待紫色气消失后，接着有黄色气从己方向横流至亥方才结束。青色气并来，木胜则势盛；随后到来，木胜就小。随后有白色气来，若气势大则金复气大，若气势小则金复气小。
十二、辛卯，辛水运不及，卯为阴年。为何要减去四刻？因为卯属震，其数为三；水运不及，从生数一（金生水）。一加三共成四，所以减去四刻。当交运时面向戌方观望。辛本寄宫在戌，先见到温白色（如褐色）显现，待其消失后，接着有黑色气从辛方向横流至卯方才结束。黄色气并来，土胜则势盛；随后到来，土胜就微。随后有青色气来，若气势大则木复气大，若气势小则木复气小。
十三、辛酉，辛水运不及，酉为阴年。为何要减去八刻？因为酉属兑，其数为七；水运不及，从生数一。一加七共成八，所以减去八刻。当交运时面向戌方观望。先见到温白色显现，待其消失后，接着有黑色气从辛方向横流至酉方才结束。黄色气并来，土胜则势盛；随后到来，土胜就微。随后有青色气来，若气势大则木复气大，若气势小则木复气小。
十四、辛巳，辛水运不及，巳为阴年。为何要减去五刻？因为巳属巽，其数为四；辛水运不及，从生数一。一加四共成五，所以减去五刻。当交运时面向戌方观望。先见到温白色显现，待其消失后，接着有黑色气从辛方向横流至巳方才结束。黄色气并来，土胜则势大；随后到来，土胜就微。随后有青色气来，若气势大则木复气大，若气势小则木复气小。
十五、辛亥，辛水运不及，亥为阴年。为何要减去七刻？因为亥属干，其数为六；辛水运不及，从生数一。一加六共成七，所以减去七刻。当交运时面向戌方观望。先见到温白色显现，待其消失后，接着有黑色气从辛方向横流至亥方才结束。黄色气并来，土胜则势盛；随后到来，土胜就微。随后有青色气来，若气势大则木复气大，若气势小则木复气小。
十六、癸丑，癸火运不及，丑为阴年。为何要减去七刻？因为丑属土，其数为五；癸火运不及，其数为二（火生土，此处指火之生数二，或依五行生成数火为二七，不及取二）。二加五共成七，所以减去七刻。当交运时面向丑方观望。癸本寄宫在丑。先见到碧色气显现，待其消失后，接着有赤色气直起冲天。因为癸丑同一家（寄宫关系），所以不横流。其色清淡。黑色气并见，水胜则势盛；随后到来，水胜就微。随后有黄色气来，若气势大则土复气大，若气势小则土复气小。
十七、癸未，癸火运不及，未为阴年。为何要减去七刻？因为未属土，其数为五；癸火运不及，其数为二。二加五共成七，所以减去七刻。当交运时面向丑方观望。先见到碧色气显现，待其消失后，接着有赤色气从癸方向横流至未方。其色清淡，运行缓慢。黑色气并来，水胜则势盛；随后到来，水胜就微。随后有黄色气来，若气势大则土复气大，若气势小则土复气小。
平气运一十六法，实为一十三法（因为在四个岁会中，有三个去除了同天符的情况，所以剩下一十三法）。
一、己未，己土运为阴，应当不及。未为阴年，上遇太阴土司天，合其德，故称为“天符”。符合己土运气之正，故无邪气克制，称为“平气”。气来之日与司天之日相同。计算：未为土减五，己土运加五。得一加一减，故既非不及，亦非太过。当交运时面向未方观望。己本寄宫在未。先见到紫色气显现，待其消失后，接着有黄色气向上起冲上天。天亦有黄色气相接，故得天天气相同，别无其他杂色相间，吉。
二、己丑，己土运应当不及，丑为阴年。上遇太阴土司天，气合德，称为“天符”。计算：丑减五，土运加五。当交运时面向未方观望。先见到紫色气显现，待其消失后，接着有黄色气从己方向横流至丑方。天有黄色气相合，别无其他杂色相间，吉。
三、乙酉，乙金运应当不及，酉为阴年。上遇阳明金司天，又同岁会（酉亦是金）。计算：酉减七，金运加七。当交运时面向辰方观望。先见到绿色气显现，待其消失后，接着有白色气从乙方向横流至酉方。天有白色气相合，别无其他杂色相间，吉。
四、乙卯，乙金运应当不及，卯为阴年。上遇阳明金司天，名曰“天符”，合其德。计算：卯为震减三，乙金运加七。当交运时面向辰方观望。先见到绿色气显现，待其消失后，接着有白色气从乙方向横流至卯方。天有白色气相合，别无其他杂色相间，吉。
五、丁亥，丁木运应当不及，亥为阴年。上遇厥阴木司天，气合德，称为“天符”。计算：亥为干减六，丁木运加八。当交运时面向未方观望。先见到红色气显现，待其消失后，接着有青色气从丁方向横流至亥方。天有赤色气相合，别无其他杂色相间，吉。
六、丁巳，丁木运应当不及，巳为阴年。上遇厥阴木司天，气合德，称为“天符”。计算：巳减四，丁木运加八。当交运时面向未方观望。先见到红色气显现，待其消失后，接着有青色气从丁方向横流至巳方。天有赤色气相合，别无其他杂色相间，吉。（以上六种皆为天符平气）
七、癸巳，癸火运应当不及，巳为阴年。下遇少阳相火在泉，下得司地合德，名曰“同岁会”。计算：巳减四，癸火运加七。当交运时面向丑方观望。先见到碧色气显现，待其消失后，接着有赤色气从癸方向横流至巳方。地有赤色气相合，别无其他杂色相间，吉。
八、癸亥，癸火运应当不及，亥为阴年。下遇少阳相火在泉，下得司地合德，称为“同岁会”。计算：亥减六，癸火运加七。当交运时面向丑方观望。先见到碧色气显现，待其消失后，接着有赤色气从癸方向横流至亥方。地有赤色气相合，别无其他杂色相间，吉。
九、辛丑，辛水运应当不及，丑为阴年。下遇太阳寒水在泉，下得水司地合德，故曰“同岁会”。计算：丑减五，水运加六。当交运时面向戌方观望。先见到温白色显现，接着有黑色气从辛方向横流至丑方。地有黑色气相合，无其他杂色相间，吉。
十、辛未，辛水运应当不及，未为阴年。下遇太阳寒水在泉，下得水司地合德，称为“同岁会”。计算：未减五，辛水运加六。当交运时面向戌方观望。先见到温白色显现，待其消失后，接着有黑色气从辛方向横流至未方。地有黑色气相合，别无其他杂色相间，吉。
十一、癸卯，癸火运应当不及，卯为阴年。下遇少阴君火在泉，下得火司地合德，称为“同岁会”。计算：卯减三，癸火运加七。当交运时面向丑方观望。先见到碧色气显现，待其消失后，接着有赤色气从癸方向横流至卯方。地有赤色气相合，无其他杂色相间，吉。
十二、癸酉，癸火运应当不及，酉为阴年。下遇少阴君火在泉，下得火司地合德，称为“同岁会”。计算：酉减七，癸火运加七。当交运时面向丑方观望。先见到碧色气显现，待其消失后，接着有赤色气从癸方向横流至酉方。地有赤色气相合，别无其他杂色相间，吉。
十三、丁卯，丁木运应当不及，卯为阴年。卯亦为木，卯木相合，故得“正岁会”。卯减三，丁木运加八。当交运时面向未方观望。先见到红色气显现，待其消失后，接着有青色气从丁方向横流至卯方。卯上有别有的青色气相迎，故名“岁会”。岁会有四种，今说此一例，另外有三种，故与天符相同。即是乙酉、己未、己丑这三年。所以平气十六数，实际占据十三年。
Seventeen Methods for Deficient Annual Movements: These Belong to Yin Years.
1. Yi Chou Year: Metal Movement is deficient; Chou is a Yin year. Why subtract nine ke (time units)? Because Chou belongs to Earth, whose number is five. Yi represents Metal movement being deficient. When deficient, it follows the generating element (Mother), which is Water, with the number four. Four plus five equals nine; therefore, subtract nine ke. This is the method for subtracting ke in Yin years. At the time of movement transition, face the Chen direction and observe. Originally, Yi resides in Chen. First, green Qi appears. After it disappears, white Qi flows horizontally from the Yi direction to the Chou direction until it ends. The color is pale, and its movement is slow. Alternatively, red Qi may arrive simultaneously, indicating that Fire overcomes (Sheng). Subsequently, black Qi arrives, indicating that Water restores (Fu).
2. Yi Wei Year: Yi Metal movement is deficient; Wei is a Yin year. Why subtract nine ke? Because Wei belongs to Earth, whose number is five. Yi Metal movement is deficient, following the generating number four. Four plus five equals nine; therefore, subtract nine ke. At the time of movement transition, face the Chen direction and observe. First, green Qi appears. After it disappears, white Qi flows from the Yi direction to the Wei direction until it ends. If red Qi arrives simultaneously, one knows the overcoming force is strong. If red Qi arrives later, the overcoming force is weak. Black Qi arrives subsequently; if its momentum is large, the restoration is severe; if small, the restoration is mild.
3. Yi Hai Year: Yi Metal movement is deficient; Hai is a Yin year. Why subtract ten ke? Because Hai belongs to Qian (Northwest), whose number is six. Yi Metal movement is deficient, following the generating number four. Four plus six equals ten; therefore, subtract ten ke. At the time of movement transition, face the Chen direction and observe. First, green Qi appears. After it disappears, white Qi flows from the Yi direction to the Chen direction until it ends. The color is pale, and its movement is slow. If red Qi arrives simultaneously, the overcoming force is strong; if it arrives later, the overcoming force is weak. Black Qi arrives subsequently; if large, the restoration is large; if small, the restoration is small.
4. Yi Si Year: Yi Metal movement is deficient; Si is a Yin year. Why subtract eight ke? Because Si belongs to Xun (Southeast), whose number is four. Yi Metal movement is deficient, following the generating number four. Four plus four equals eight; therefore, subtract eight ke. At the time of movement transition, face the Chen direction and observe. First, green Qi appears. After it disappears, white Qi flows from the Yi direction to the Si direction until it ends. The color is pale, and its movement is slow. If red Qi arrives simultaneously, the overcoming force is deep/strong; if it arrives later, the overcoming force is weak. Black Qi arrives subsequently; if large, the restoration is large; if small, the restoration is small.
5. Ding Chou Year: Ding Wood movement is deficient; Chou is a Yin year. Why subtract eight ke? Because Chou belongs to Earth, whose number is five. Ding Wood movement is deficient, following the generating number three (Water generates Wood). Three plus five equals eight; therefore, subtract eight ke. At the time of movement transition, face the Wei direction and observe. Ding originally resides in Wei. First, red Qi appears. After it disappears, cyan/green Qi flows from the Ding direction to the Chou direction until it ends. Finally, white Qi arrives simultaneously, indicating Metal overcoming; if strong, the overcoming is severe. If white Qi arrives later, the overcoming is mild. Subsequently, red Qi arrives; if large, Fire restoration is large; if small, Fire restoration is small. Restoration may occur early or late.
6. Ding Wei Year: Ding Wood movement is deficient; Wei is a Yin year. Why subtract eight ke? Because Wei belongs to Earth, whose number is five. Ding Wood movement is deficient, following the generating number three. Three plus five equals eight; therefore, subtract eight ke. At the time of movement transition, face the Wei direction and observe. First, red Qi appears. After it disappears, cyan/green Qi rises upward without horizontal flow, reaching the Wei direction. This is because Ding's original residence is in Wei, so it does not flow horizontally. If white Qi appears simultaneously, Metal overcoming is severe; if seen subsequently, the overcoming is mild. Subsequently, red Qi arrives; if large, Fire restoration is large; if small, Fire restoration is small.
7. Ding You Year: Ding Wood movement is deficient; You is a Yin year. Why subtract ten ke? Because You belongs to Dui (West), whose number is seven. Wood movement is deficient, following the generating number three. Three plus seven equals ten; therefore, subtract ten ke. At the time of movement transition, face the Wei direction and observe. First, red Qi appears. After it disappears, cyan/green Qi flows horizontally from the Ding direction to the You direction until it ends. The color is pale, and its movement is slow. White Qi arrives simultaneously; Metal overcoming is severe. If it arrives subsequently, the overcoming is small. Red Qi arrives subsequently; if large, Fire restoration is large; if small, Fire restoration is small.
8. Ji Mao Year: Ji Earth movement is deficient; Mao is a Yin year. Why subtract eight ke? Because Mao belongs to Zhen (East), whose number is three. Ji Earth movement has the number five. Earth has no completion number, only the generation number five. Three plus five equals eight; therefore, subtract eight ke. At the time of movement transition, face the Wei direction and observe.
