论一方之气，不可过角。进角为孤，退角为寡。（一方之气，则四象各主于一时之偶也，如寅卯辰则巳孤丑寡。）
The single energy must not be on the extreme in any given environment. The overly strong will become lonely, and the overly weak will be lonesome in any four directions. (The Day Master with extreme single energy like in the North, South, East, and West and the decline Qi will become widower, lonesome, and live a solitary life. In Yin寅Mao卯, Chen辰 the solitary is in Si巳 and Lonesome in Chou丑.)

既旺不过一方之气，却言衰者成功也。（木 水【生】亥衰于辰，是木出东方春位而衰，此本末衰旺，功成身退，子结花落也。）
Although The Day Master is weak in the environment, the weak can still be successful. (The Wood and Water (Produce) Hai亥 will weaken in Chen辰 because Wood is prosperous in spring. The Wood will be weak at the end of the spring season, but this is not about being weak or prosperous, but rather about retreating when the job is complete, the seed germinated, and the flower petals will wither away.
