Tianluodiwang (天罗地网)​

Function​

Tianluodiwang (天罗地网) is a major ominous deity and spirit in Bazi (八字), and when the life master carries this spirit, they are prone to legal disputes, health issues, and other adverse effects. The characteristics of a life chart with Tianluodiwang make one's life experience more setbacks and trials, requiring continuous effort to achieve success. If the life chart is relatively weak, the life master may be compelled by fate, finding it difficult to extricate themselves, leading to a rather mediocre life. As the saying goes: "Men fear Tianluo (天罗), women fear Diwang (地网)." Tianluo has a greater impact on men, while women are more easily affected by Diwang.

  • "Yuanhai Ziping" explains Tianluodiwang: Xu and Hai are Tianluo, Chen and Si are Diwang, fire life encountering Xu and Hai days is Tianluo, water and earth life encountering Chen and Si days is Diwang, metal and wood life do not have this spirit.
  • "Sanming Tonghui" explains Tianluodiwang: Luo and Wang symbolize the ultimate predicament faced by the life master. Xu and Hai represent the ultimate of yin and yang, while Chen and Si represent the extreme of yang, symbolizing the ultimate predicament in life and an uncertain future. The life master is easily suppressed by external forces, making it difficult to achieve great success.
