Mars Enters Venus
Heaven-plate Bing over earth-plate Geng: the fire of Yinghuo (Mars) invades the metal domain of Taibai (Venus) — gates and households suffer ruin, wealth bleeds away to thieves. Yet in divinations about robbers, the thief retreats of his own accord; guarding the coffers comes first.
Formation
Heaven plate Bing + Earth plate Geng
Classical Verse
庚为太白丙荧惑,白入荧兮贼即来,荧入白兮贼须灭。(Geng is Taibai and Bing is Yinghuo; when Bai enters Ying the thief is coming, and when Ying enters Bai the thief shall perish.)

Marks internal friction and personnel clashes, with projects prone to collapse midway. Do not start confrontations or leap rashly into a new job; guard against schemers quietly undermining your record — keep to your duties and keep written records. Divining about a rival, their momentum will fade on its own; watch and wait.
The signs of loss are plain: guard against theft, holes in the books, and partners quietly diverting funds; keep cash and valuables secure, for investments entered now tend to open with losses. Divining about recovering lost goods or debts, the other side is in retreat — press the claim and part may be recovered.
Fire and metal at war: quarrels flare over money and property, and beware outsiders draining the household purse. In argument one side blazes while the other stands rigid, and the fight only breaks things further. Settle the accounts first, then talk feelings — after the clash, room to reconcile actually opens.
Metal governs the lungs, sinews, and bones, here under fire's attack: watch respiratory inflammation, coughs, injuries, and surgery, and with fire flaring upward, minor wounds and bleeding as well. Illness strikes fast but the constitution can rally; prompt treatment usually drives it off — no cause for panic.
Theft prevention comes first: at stations and on the road keep valuables and papers close, guarding against pickpockets and losses. Itineraries can be upended by disputes; when driving or renting a car, watch for scrapes. Divining about leaving to escape trouble, the way is open — the thief's qi is ebbing, and a later start beats an early one.
Suits here arise from property loss, theft, or robbery. If you are the injured party pressing a claim, the other side's momentum is fading — persist with evidence and compensation is within reach. If you initiated the clash, the chart is against you; sheathe the blade and seek mediation. Guard against further material loss while the case runs.
