Dizhuan (地转)​

Function​

Dizhuan (地转) represents the state where the energy of the five elements reaches its peak and then rapidly declines, indicating potential misfortune and unexpected events in life. People born on a Dizhuan day often experience ups and downs in career, health, and family, and are prone to accidents or disasters due to energy imbalance. For instance, even if one holds a high official position, lacking the ability to advance or retreat appropriately may lead to unexpected incidents; similarly, even with abundant wealth, excessive attachment might attract external interference, destabilizing family fortune. Overall, the Dizhuan Sha (煞) warns the individual of a "peak followed by decline" state, which can lead to life's instability and various unexpected risks.

Method of Checking​

Check the day pillar based on the month branch, with the specific corresponding relationships as follows:

  • Spring (Yin, Mao, Chen months): Dizhuan occurs on the Xinmao (辛卯) day
  • Summer (Si, Wu, Wei months): Dizhuan occurs on the Wuwu (戊午) day
  • Autumn (Shen, You, Xu months): Dizhuan occurs on the Guiyou (癸酉) day
  • Winter (Hai, Zi, Chou months): Dizhuan occurs on the Bingzi (丙子) day

The ancients used the phrase "peak followed by decline, misfortune followed by fortune" to describe the development laws of things, and "Heavenly Turn and Earthly Turn" is the extreme manifestation of this transformation. Dizhuan is also known as "Heaven and Earth Turn Sha," and an old saying goes: "Those whose fate encounters this Sha, if they do not know how to advance or retreat, will bring disaster upon themselves and not meet a good end." This indicates that the appearance of Dizhuan Sha can cause a sudden change in personal fortune, easily leading to accidents, health issues, or misfortune in family and career due to excessive energy. The ancients observed the Heavenly Turn and Earthly Turn to warn people to be especially cautious during critical moments such as actions, travel, business, or marriage, to avoid the adverse effects brought by the Heavenly Turn and Earthly Turn.
