Huà Lù

化祿, marked 祿 on the chart, is the first of the four changes set off by the birth year's stem. It lands on one star per year: 廉貞 for a 甲 year, 天機 for 乙, 天同 for 丙, 太陰 for 丁, 貪狼 for 戊, 武曲 for 己, 太陽 for 庚, 巨門 for 辛, 天梁 for 壬 and 破軍 for 癸. Every chart has exactly one. The calculator reads the stem at the lunar new year boundary, a rule the old texts do not state.

The answer in 卷一 is brief and cheerful. It calls the mark a spirit of blessing and virtue and says that in the Life, Body or Career palace, meeting 化權 and 化科, it makes high office. In the ten-year periods it says good results are beyond doubt, and it adds that even harsh stars striking it do no damage. 卷二 assigns the mark to earth and says it is glad to see 祿存.

On this mark the calculator's default matches the Wikisource verse for all ten stems. A table on Chinese Wikipedia lists the same ten stars for this mark under both 紫微斗數全書 and the separately titled 紫微斗數全集, which was not itself read. The 壬 stem, where the calculator departs from the verse, differs in another column of the table. Modern tables printed elsewhere may differ from these.
