Huò Hài

禍害 (huò hài, mishap) is a seat in the 大遊年 scheme, the name given to the position where the star 祿存 sits when the eight palaces are assigned. The Ming book 陽宅十書 lists it first among its five unfavorable stars and gives it the element earth.

Its pairs are 乾 with 巽, 艮 with 離, 震 with 坤 and 坎 with 兌. Every pair joins one palace from the east four to one from the west four, which matches the book's remark that building for one group with the stars of the other goes badly. We worked the pairs out from the eight verses, and the book does not list them.

A verse on the nine stars states plainly that meeting 禍害 is inauspicious, and gives no reasoning in that line. It is the book's claim, not a forecast from this site. The book ties the star, with 天乙, to the four earth positions. Number three of the nine stars bears the name 祿存 as well.
