宫干四化（飞宫四化） · Gōng Gān Sì Huà · How palaces connect
宫干四化 (Gōng Gān Sì Huà) = each palace's stem flying its own Four Transformations — also called 飞宫四化 (palace-flying transformations) — is the core mechanism of the Flying-Star school. Every palace carries a 宫干 (palace stem — the heavenly stem written on it), and that stem sends its own Lu/Quan/Ke/Ji into other palaces. This is a school-specific way to ask how palaces connect. Spouse flying Lu into Wealth may suggest partnership-resource support to verify; Self flying Ji into Spouse may suggest emotional attachment to examine. Follow the flights as an interpretive web, then check real behavior.
Beyond its earthly branch (子, 丑, 寅 …), every palace also carries a heavenly stem — the 宫干 (gōng gān = palace stem). The stems of the twelve palaces are fixed from your birth-year stem by the 'Five Tigers' method (五虎遁): the year stem decides which stem the 寅 palace starts on, and the rest run around in sequence. So your Self, Spouse, Wealth — each palace — owns its own heavenly stem.
The palace stem is the Flying-Star 'launcher'. The birth-year set falls from above (fixed once by the year stem); the palace-stem set is each palace actively firing its own — and that is where the chart truly moves.
Take a palace's stem, run it through the same ten-stem table, and you get the four stars that palace flies — its Lu, Quan, Ke, and Ji. Each of those stars sits in some palace, so this palace 'flies Lu into palace A, flies Ji into palace B'. Read it as 'from this palace, toward that one': the sender is the subject, the receiver the object.
When palace A flies a transformation into palace B, it means 'A does something to B'. Each transformation is a kind of action:
A flies Lu into B = A favours B, helps B, has good affinity with B — bringing ease and joy to B.
A flies Quan into B = A wants to lead, change, push on B — bringing expansion and also pressure.
A flies Ke into B = A gives B smoothness, a benefactor, a gentle quiet concern, and a sense of standing.
A flies Ji into B = A clings to B, demands from B, treats B as a debt. The Ji is the strongest flight — and the 'cause'.
Flying-Star splits the twelve into two halves: the six that are 'mine' and the six that are 'others'. The same Ji means opposite things depending on whether it flies from a my-palace to an other-palace or the reverse.
To read marriage, fly the Spouse palace's stem. Suppose Spouse flies Lu into Wealth and Ji into Self: Lu-into-Wealth = 'your partner brings you financial benefit'; Ji-into-Self = 'your partner clings to you, demands from you, holds you as their attachment'. Together the two flights tell a relational story the stars alone cannot — exactly the power of palace-stem transformations.
Palace-stem flights are the 'function' of the Flying-Star school. Liang Ruoyu strings the flights into 'images that form a case', reading a chart like a knot of cause and effect — the sending palace the cause, the receiving palace the result, the Ji the drawing thread.
From your birth-year stem via the 'Five Tigers' method (五虎遁): the year stem fixes which stem the 寅 palace begins on (a 甲 or 己 year starts on 丙寅, and so on), then the rest run in order around the twelve. So every palace stem is locked by your birth year.
They don't conflict — they divide labour. The birth-year set is the 'substance', the fixed innate tone; the palace-stem set is the 'function', a mechanism that fires per palace and per matter. Read birth-year first (the Ji especially), then layer the flights; together they complete the picture.
A Ji into a my-palace you value is read as the area that asks for the most attention. Ji into Wealth or Property may point to friction around holding resources; Ji into Self or Health is a cue to watch stress, routines, and support systems. It is not a medical or financial diagnosis. Always read it with the palace it flew from, then check observable patterns before drawing a conclusion.
Yes — 'Lu and Ji into one palace', a classic flying-star image of love-and-ache, sweet-then-bitter: that relationship or area brings you benefit and attachment at once. The sweetness and the snag are two faces of one thing.
