心少阴君火。其体洪若浮。则正发财。若洪缓则是脾脉。君心部为受母气。主少年聪明。或受父母荫为官职。或为
神童。十五岁以前聪明得誉。若见滑疾。主少年心虚之疾。或下元不固。若于肾脉见促。诊之转旋。则知在何年得之。
何年愈。若见涩脉必死。为贼人心腹。若滑疾无常。则心经得病。若终身滑涩。则是金入火宫。人主绝。为孤独。为贫
贱。若浮涌。主狂妄。奔下主失心。散乱主忧疑。乍有乍无主神鬼。肉颤主心风。肉顽主殷勤愚卤。涩主为干枯肉燥。
滑
主为滋润。若潮水初至为受病。冲决主亡阳。微细主作事不成。言语謇涩。先小后大。则主不言其事成。先大后小。则
作事有始无终。疾则性急。缓则性宽。微则性和。乱则性乖。大则无常。小则无气。大要以洪缓为主。脉分两路。则走
迁移宫。常主在外。若浮而分。则主逐后。若无脉而应于后。为神仙佛祖矣。

The Heart meridian corresponds to the Shaoyin Sovereign Fire (Shàoyīn Jūnhuǒ, Lesser Yin Sovereign Fire). If its pulse is surging and floating (Hóng Ruò Fú), it indicates wealth accumulation. If the pulse is surging and moderate (Hóng Huǎn), it is the pulse of the Spleen. The Heart sector receiving the Qi of its mother organ (Spleen Earth) signifies intelligence in youth. It may also indicate obtaining official positions through parental patronage or becoming a prodigy. Intelligence and fame are gained before the age of fifteen. If the pulse appears slippery and rapid (Huá Jí), it indicates heart deficiency diseases in youth, or instability of the lower origin (Xiàyuán, referring to the Kidneys and Mingmen). If a hurried pulse (Cuò Mài) is seen at the Kidney pulse position, diagnosis through calculation can determine the year of onset and the year of recovery. If a choppy pulse (Sè Mài) is seen, death is inevitable; this is caused by thief evil invading the heart and abdomen. If the pulse is slippery and rapid without regularity, the Heart meridian is diseased. If the pulse remains slippery and choppy throughout life, Metal enters the Fire palace, indicating extinction of descendants, loneliness, and poverty/humility. If the pulse is floating and surging, it indicates madness. A rushing downward pulse indicates loss of mind. A scattered pulse indicates worry and suspicion. A pulse that appears and disappears intermittently indicates spiritual interference. Muscle tremors indicate Heart wind. Muscle stiffness/numbness indicates diligence but foolishness. A choppy pulse indicates dryness and cracked skin/muscles. A slippery pulse indicates moisture and nourishment. If the pulse arrives like the first tide, it indicates illness. A surging and breaking pulse indicates Yang collapse. A minute and fine pulse indicates failure in endeavors and speech impediments. A pulse that starts small and becomes large indicates inability to accomplish matters. A pulse that starts large and becomes small indicates beginning with enthusiasm but lacking perseverance. A rapid pulse indicates an impatient temperament. A moderate pulse indicates a lenient temperament. A minute pulse indicates a gentle temperament. A chaotic pulse indicates a perverse temperament. A large pulse indicates unpredictability. A small pulse indicates lack of Qi. Generally, the surging and moderate pulse is primary. If the pulse divides into two paths, it indicates moving to the Migration Palace, often suggesting travel or being away from home. If the pulse is floating and dispersed, it indicates following behind. If there is no pulse but the event manifests later, it signifies the state of an immortal Buddha.
