What Is Lu Horse Racing Together (祿馬交馳) in BaZi?
Learn how each branch trine derives a Traveling Horse that matches the Hour Stem Lu position, the four pairings, mutual exchange and failure conditions.
Overview
Lu Horse Racing Together is the workbook’s English name for 祿馬交馳. The source links each branch trine’s Traveling Horse to an Hour Stem whose Lu position is that same branch: Yin-Wu-Xu gives Horse at Shen with Geng hour stem; Hai-Mao-Wei gives Horse at Si with Bing; Shen-Zi-Chen gives Horse at Yin with Jia; and Si-You-Chou gives Horse at Hai with Ren. It then asks for a reciprocal exchange among the stems and branches of the four pillars, especially when the pattern appears between Day and Hour rather than Year and Month. Clash, break and Void are explicit failure or weakening conditions. This is more specific than merely seeing one Lu marker and one Traveling Horse. OpenFate does not issue this composite verdict.
At a glance
- Yin-Wu-Xu
- Horse at Shen with Geng Hour Stem
- Hai-Mao-Wei
- Horse at Si with Bing Hour Stem
- Shen-Zi-Chen
- Horse at Yin with Jia Hour Stem
- Si-You-Chou
- Horse at Hai with Ren Hour Stem
- Failure evidence
- Clash, break or Void
- Product boundary
- No OpenFate interracing verdict
The Horse branch must also be the Lu position of the named Hour Stem
First derive Traveling Horse from the source branch trine. Then verify the Hour Stem: Geng has Lu at Shen, Bing at Si, Jia at Yin and Ren at Hai.
A different hour stem, a different Horse derivation or one unrelated Lu marker does not satisfy the listed pairing.
- Show the source trine, Horse branch and Hour Stem.
- Verify that the Hour Stem’s Lu equals the Horse branch.
Reciprocal placement and disruption are additional checks
The text asks for stems and branches across Year, Month, Day and Hour to exchange the Lu-Horse relationship and favors a Day-Hour expression when Year-Month does not show it.
Clash, break and Void are named counterconditions. Distance, duplicate markers and other interactions should also remain visible rather than compressed into one favorable label.
- Identify the exact two-way or multi-pillar exchange.
- Display clash, break, Void and competing evidence.
OpenFate keeps Lu and Traveling Horse as separately traceable evidence
The product may calculate or display Lu and Traveling Horse markers under their existing definitions and preserve the four visible pillars.
There is no Lu Horse Racing Together detector. The article does not add a marker, cancel a clash or modify reports, scores or saved charts.
- Keep Lu, Horse, pillar position and counterevidence traceable.
- No composite flag, score, interaction override or report mutation.
Lu and Horse do not guarantee mobility, income or promotion
The pattern’s name and classical praise do not establish career movement, travel or financial gain.
Do not predict promotion, salary, business success, relocation, migration, travel safety, vehicle incidents, relationship change, health or lifespan. Use real plans and evidence.
- No promotion, income, business, travel or relocation guarantee.
- No accident, relationship, health or lifespan prediction.
