六戊日時生癸丑,卻去從妻成配偶;為人性巧甚聰明,尤好風流嗜花酒。戊日癸丑時,戊以癸為妻財,丑中有癸餘氣從財,癸旺,若通月氣化為真火,為人聰明;若通土氣,主富貴,操權。夏月,行東方運,貴顯。戊子日癸丑時,戊月生,雜氣印綬,天干透丙丁字,不必格局,主富貴。若年月午酉,干透庚乙,乙與庚合,戊與癸合,戊食庚,庚旺於酉,貴於丑,癸為財,乙為官,而印根於午,日時干支為天地合德,貴祿交加,況兼以羅文貴,遇者主極品。

The rhyme says: When the day stem is Wu (戊) and the time is Guiyou (癸丑), the day stem yields to its wife and wealth, forming a spouse; this person is cunning and very intelligent, especially fond of elegance and enjoying wine and flowers. The interpretation says: On a Wu day with Guiyou time, Wu earth takes Gui water as wife and wealth, and Guiyou contains the residual energy of Gui water; the day stem yields to the wealth, thus making Gui water stronger; if the month supports the earth and Wu and Gui combine to form true fire, the person is intelligent; if the month supports the earth, it indicates wealth and power. If born in summer and the fortune moves eastward towards wood, it brings high status. For Wu Zi day paired with Guiyou time: if born in a month of Wu earth, it is considered 'miscellaneous earth official', and if the heavenly stem also reveals Bing or Ding, it indicates wealth and honor without needing further analysis. If the year and month contain Wu and You, and the heavenly stem reveals Geng and Yi, Yi and Geng combine, Wu and Gui combine, Wu takes Geng as food, Geng is strong in You and noble in Chou, Gui water is wealth, Yi wood is official, and the official is rooted in Wu, thus the day and time stems form heaven and earth harmony, with honor and wealth converging, and with the nobleman's influence, the person will reach the highest position in court.

戊寅日癸丑時,寅已午未戌月,化火吉。秋冬平常。戊辰日癸丑時,寅巳午未戌月,化火得地,申子辰財局亦吉。年月干支純土,得四庫全者貴。戊午日癸丑時,寅戌未午年月,聰明特達威權。戊申日癸丑時,辰戌丑未午月生,富貴愛酒色。夏,東方運,貴。秋冬,財旺生官,若身衰,不夭即貧。

On a Wuyin day with a Guichou hour: if born in the months of寅, 巳, 午, 未, or 戌, and the combination forms fire, it is auspicious; those born in autumn or winter are ordinary. On a Wuchen day with a Guichou hour: if born in the months of寅, 巳, 午, 未, or 戌, the combination of Wu and Gui forms fire and gains strength; if the year and month contain申, 子, or 辰 forming a wealth pattern, it is also auspicious; if the year and month are entirely earth and the four earth branches 辰, 戌, 丑, and 未 are complete, it indicates high status. On a Wuwu day with a Guichou hour: if the year and month contain寅, 戌, 未, or 午, the person is intelligent and outstanding, and holds authority. On a Wushen day with a Guichou hour: if born in the months of辰, 戌, 丑, 未, or 午, the person is wealthy and noble, but has a fondness for alcohol and women; those born in summer and with an eastern destiny are prosperous; those born in autumn or winter have strong wealth that can generate official status, but if the day's ruler is weak, they may be poor even if they do not die young.

戊戌日癸丑時,夏生,東方運,貴。辰戌丑未月,富貴操權,好花酒風流。化合南離局,財門日月開;柱中無沖破,福祿自然來。丑時戊癸化合櫃,最喜刑沖忌鎖閉;運行忽遇鑰匙開,興旺家門為活計。戊日時逢癸丑,化為炎火生光。運行地水不相當,運到東南興旺。祖業相離不定,從妻置買田莊。不然骨肉有刑傷,晚景榮華旺相。

On a Wuxu day with a Guichou hour: those born in summer and moving east are destined for wealth and status; those born in the months of Shengchen, Xuwu, Guichou, or Weiwu will achieve wealth and power, enjoying fine things and being naturally flirtatious. As it is said: when the combination of Wu and Chou forms the southern fire trigram, the wealth gate opens like the sun and moon; if there is no clash in the pillar, fortune and happiness naturally arrive. The concluding verse says: the combination of Wu and Chou at Guichou hour is like a cabinet, most favorable when there is a clash to open it, most unfavorable when it is locked; when the big destiny meets the key, the family becomes prosperous and has a livelihood. The interpretation says: on a Wu day with a Guichou hour, the combination turns into blazing fire and shines brightly; if the big destiny goes to a water place, it is not suitable, but going to the southeast brings prosperity. The ancestral property is unstable, mostly relying on the wife's family to buy land and estates; otherwise, there will be conflicts among family members, and the later years will still be prosperous and strong.

Six Wu Days: Jiayin Hour Division

六戊日生時甲寅,病中又被鬼傷身;月氣若通身旺吉,日干衰弱夭亡人。戊日甲寅時,身衰鬼旺,寅中甲建祿,丙生身,如通身旺月,有倚托有救助,化鬼為官,主富貴;反此貧夭,行身旺運亦吉。戊子日甲寅時,先破後發,貴。未月生,干有制伏,貴。午月無制,聰明近貴。辰戌丑身旺,亥卯煞旺,但有印有制,貴。純乙丑年月,金紫。

The rhyme says: When the day stem is Wu Tu and the time is Jiayin, Wu Tu is in the Jiayin hour, which is a weak position. In weakness, it is further harmed by the seven evil stars. If the monthly stem supports the day stem, the day stem becomes strong and brings good fortune. If the day stem is weak, it indicates a short life. The interpretation says: On a Wu Tu day with Jiayin time, it is "body weak and spirit strong." In Jiayin, the Ji wood is the seven evil star, but the Bing fire in Jiayin can support the body. If the monthly stem supports the day stem, and the column has support and assistance, the evil spirit can be transformed into an official star, indicating wealth and honor. Conversely, if this is not the case, it leads to poverty, low status, and a short life. However, if the big year moves to a strong position for the day stem, it is still good. When Wu Zi day is paired with Jiayin time, it first experiences failure but later success, indicating high status. If born in the Wei month and the heavenly stem is controlled, it is of high status. If born in the Wu month without control, it is intelligent and close to high status. If the year and month have Chen, Xu, or Chou, the day stem is strong. If they have Hai or Mao, the evil star is strong. As long as there is a seal and control, it is of high status. If the year and month are entirely Yi Chou, it reaches the position of a golden seal and purple robe.

戊寅日甲寅時,身旺,骨肉不同居。午月,刃印帶煞;子月,正財黨煞,干透制;亥卯未,純煞身柔,干透刃,運行西南,兵權萬里;巳丑戌年月,身旺敵煞;酉丑申,制煞,皆主大貴,嫌劫煞克身則凶。戊辰日甲寅時,時上偏官,印綬帶煞,柱有庚辛制伏者,貴。辰戌丑未,身旺亦貴。戊午日甲寅時,曰羊刃,時偏官,以刃合煞,貴。巳酉丑月,刀筆驚人,制伏不宜太過;寅卯辰巳戌子年月,天干有制伏,俱主大貴。

On a day with the stem Wu and branch Yin, paired with an hour with the stem Jia and branch Yin, the day's ruler is strong but cannot live with family members. Those born in the month of Wu have Yangren (sheath of the sword),印绶 (imperial seal), and seven evils; those born in the month of Zi have 正财 (positive wealth) assisting the seven evils, and it is necessary for the heavenly stem to reveal a god that controls the evils. If the year and month contain Hai, Mao, or Chou, the day's ruler is weak, and the heavenly stem reveals Yangren, and if the big year moves to the southwest, one can command a thousand-mile military power. If the year and month contain Si, Chou, or Xu, the day's ruler is strong and can resist the evils; if the year and month contain You, Chou, or Shen, they can control the evils, all of which indicate great wealth. Only if Jiesha (劫煞) comes to harm the body, it will be dangerous. On a day with the stem Wu and branch Chen, paired with an hour with the stem Jia and branch Yin, the hour forms a biased official, with 印绶 (imperial seal) and seven evils. If the column contains Geng or Xin to control the evils, it indicates wealth. If the year and month contain Chen, Xu, Chou, or Wei and the day's ruler is strong, it also indicates wealth. On a day with the stem Wu and branch Wu, paired with an hour with the stem Jia and branch Yin, the day's branch is Yangren and the hour is a biased official. Using Yangren to harmonize the seven evils indicates wealth. Those born in the month of Si, You, or Chou have remarkable talent in legal affairs and literary skills, but controlling the evils should not be excessive. If the year and month contain Yin, Mao, Chen, Si, Xu, or Zi and the heavenly stem reveals a controlling god, all indicate great wealth.

戊申日甲寅時,申酉,傷官帶煞,土厚地方,貴。丑卯年月,去煞留官,大貴;要行金火運,位極人臣。戊戌日申寅時,辰、戌、丑、未月,行水木運,三品。丑未年月,行金水運,富貴雙全。申子、酉子年月俱貴,子孫亦昌。巳午,貴,傷妻害子。寅時戊日自非凡,卓越超群出世間;定顯寒門出將相,如逢身弱是艱難。戊日申寅時正,身強花木逢春。偏官如遇怕刑沖,假煞反為權印。煞旺身衰減福,難倚雁侶雙親。如行印運福駢臻,定主才名初順。

On a Wushen day with Jiayin hour: If the year and month contain Shen or You, it indicates a harmful official combined with a seven calamity, and if born in a place with thick earth, it brings high status. If the year and month contain Chou or Mao and can remove the seven calamity while retaining the proper official, it indicates great wealth and honor, and one needs to go through a great metal and fire fortune to reach the highest position. On a Wuxu day with Jiayin hour: If born in the months of Chen, Xu, Chou, or Wei and goes through a great water and wood fortune, it brings third rank; if the year and month contain Chou or Wei and goes through a great metal and water fortune, it brings both wealth and honor; if the year and month contain Shen with Zi or You with Zi, it brings wealth and prosperity of descendants; if it contains Si or Wu, although it brings wealth, it harms the wife and children. The concluding verse says: A Wu day with Jiayin hour is naturally extraordinary, outstanding and prominent; from humble origins, it certainly produces generals and ministers, but if the day ruler is weak, it will be difficult. The interpretation says: The Wu day with Jiayin hour is most appropriate, and if the day ruler is strong, it is like flowers and trees meeting spring. Since the biased official is encountered, it is most feared to have punishment and clash, borrowing the false calamity to turn it into a power and official seal. If the calamity is strong and the day ruler is weak, the fortune decreases, and parents and brothers are hard to rely on; if the great fortune goes to the official seal place, the fortune comes continuously, and it certainly brings smooth success in talent and fame.

Six Wu Days: Yimao Hour

六戊日生時乙卯,四柱傷官不見好;辛申弗逢沖害無,管取功名直到老。戊日乙卯時,官強身弱,戊用乙為官,卯上乙旺戊死,若無倚托,不通月氣,身弱化官為鬼,縱貴壽夭;若通月氣,身旺有托,柱中不見申酉辛庚、傷官甲木破命者貴顯。戊子日乙卯時,時日相刑,傷妻害子,自成自立。年月再遇,主風憲。午酉,四正全,大貴。戊寅日乙卯時,亥子年月,妻賢子孝,貴。卯辰純,吉;寅巳亦吉。

The rhyme says: For a day stem of Wu (戊) with a time stem of Yimao (乙卯), if there is a harmful official in the four pillars, it is not considered good; as long as it does not meet Xin (辛), Shen (申), or there is no conflict or harm, it will ensure continuous official rank throughout life. The interpretation says: A day stem of Wu (戊) with a time stem of Yimao (乙卯) is "strong official and weak self": Wu (戊) earth takes Yi (乙) wood as the official, and the Yi (乙) wood is strong in Mao (卯), while Wu (戊) earth is in a dead position. If the day stem has no support and the month stem does not connect with the season, the weak self will turn the official into seven evils, even if it is fortunate, it will result in a short life; if the month stem connects with the season, the self is strong and has support, and there is no Shen (申), You (酉), Xin (辛), Geng (庚), or harmful official Ji (甲) wood in the pillars, it will lead to high status. For a day stem of Wuzi (戊子) paired with a time stem of Yimao (乙卯), the day branch and time branch conflict, indicating harm to wife and children, everything depends on self-reliance; if the year and month also repeat this, one can become a censor. If there is Wu (午) or You (酉), making the four direct branches (子午卯酉) complete, it indicates great wealth. For a day stem of Wuyin (戊寅) paired with a time stem of Yimao (乙卯), if the year and month have Hai (亥) or Zi (子), the wife is virtuous and the children are filial, indicating high status; if the earth branches are all Mao (卯) and Chen (辰), it is auspicious; if there is Yin (寅) or Si (巳), it is also auspicious.

戊辰日乙卯時,身孤,貴。巳卯年月,身強官旺,榮身顯祖,子孝妻賢。戊午日乙卯時,刃格,正官去刃為福,子寅卯辰午未申亥年月,俱主貴顯。戊申日乙卯時,中年破祖。春貴。夏近貴。秋孤苦。冬富貴雙全。巳月,木火運,五品上貴。戊戌日乙卯時,春官旺。夏,官印雙全,貴顯。秋平。冬貴。戌丑年月,方面三品。戌月,行東方運,孤貧。時上生官坐祿權,戊日逢之不等閒;身強有托方成貴,制合官星貴亦難。戊日時逢乙卯,木沖六合開通。金雞玉免顯光榮,合掌光輝權印。乙酉辛傷雁侶,重花結子方成。困龍得水喜騰云,運至超群出眾。

On a Wuchen day with a Yimao hour, one may be lonely but still attain high status; if the year and month contain Si or Mao, the day's ruler is strong and the official star is prosperous, leading to honor and success, with a virtuous wife and filial sons. On a Wuwu day with a Yimao hour, it is considered the Yangren pattern; using the official star to remove the Yangren brings fortune; if the year and month contain Zi, Yin, Mao, Chen, Wu, Wei, Shen, or Hai, it indicates high status and prominence. On a Wushen day with a Yimao hour, one may suffer losses in middle age; those born in spring attain high status, those born in summer approach high status, those born in autumn are lonely, and those born in winter achieve both wealth and honor; if born in the month of Si and experiencing a major wood and fire fortune, one may attain a rank of fifth grade or higher. On a Wuxu day with a Yimao hour: those born in spring have a strong official star; those born in summer have both official and imperial stars, leading to high status; those born in autumn are ordinary; those born in winter achieve high status; if the year and month contain Xu or Chou, one may become a high-ranking official, of third grade; if born in the month of Xu and experiencing an eastern fortune, one may be lonely and poor. The concluding verse says: when the official star appears in the hour and is seated in the position of禄 and 权, a Wu day with such combination is extraordinary; a strong day ruler with support can achieve high status, but if the official star is restrained or combined away, the high status is difficult to attain. The interpretation says: on a Wu day with a Yimao hour, the wood is active and the Six Harmony is open; the golden rooster (You) and jade rabbit (Mao) both show glory, and the light of official and imperial stars shines in the palm. If there are Yi, You, or Xin, it harms the brothers, and one must experience two blossoms to bear fruit. A dragon confined by water will joyfully rise to the clouds, and when the fortune arrives, one will surpass others.

On the day of Bingchen (丙辰) in the Six Wu days, the time of Bingchen is divided.

六戊日生時丙辰,寶藏財庫利於身;無傷無破何須問,祿馬相扶富貴人。戊日丙辰時,官藏財庫,戊用壬癸為財,乙木為官,丙為倒食,辰上丙火無氣,壬癸入庫,乙有餘氣,若有倚托通月氣者,貴顯。戊子日丙辰時,春生近貴。夏辛苦。秋,權高壽促。冬財,通火土,有倚托者貴。戊寅日丙辰時,龍吟虎嘯,中年大貴。子月,行北運,土厚地方,官至三品;東運,風憲。丑辰年月,四五品貴。寅午戌年,通土氣月,行木火運,極品。

The rhyme says: On a day with the heavenly stem Wu and the earthly branch Chen, born at the time of Bing Chen, Chen is a treasure store and a treasury of wealth, which is favorable to the day's ruler; as long as it is not harmed or broken, there is no need to ask further questions. The official and the horse support each other, indicating a person of wealth and honor. The interpretation says: On a day with the heavenly stem Wu and the earthly branch Chen, it is called "official hidden and wealth stored": Wu earth takes Ren and Gui water as wealth, Yi wood as official, and Bing fire as "reverse food" (biased scholar). Bing fire has no strength in Chen, while Ren and Gui water are stored within, and Yi wood still has some strength. If the day's ruler has support and the month's stem is in harmony, it indicates high status and prominence. On a day with the heavenly stem Wu and the earthly branch Zi, paired with the time of Bing Chen: those born in spring are close to high status and prominence; those born in summer face hardship; those born in autumn have high authority but short life; those born in winter have abundant wealth, and if they have the strength of fire and earth and have support, they will also be of high status. On a day with the heavenly stem Wu and the earthly stem Yin, paired with the time of Bing Chen, the dragon in Chen roars and the tiger in Yin howls, indicating great wealth in middle age: those born in the month of Zi and moving to the north, if born in a place with thick earth, will hold an official position of third rank; those moving east can serve as a censor; if the year and month have Chou and Chen, they will be of fourth or fifth rank; if the year's branch is Yin, Wu, and Xu, and the month's stem is in harmony with earth, and the great destiny moves in the direction of wood and fire, they will reach the highest position in the court.

戊辰日丙辰時,克父大發,通身旺月,行東北運富;水木月,行身旺運,貴。戊午日丙辰時,亥卯年月,行東北運,富貴。未丑,行西南運,風憲。戊申時丙辰時,辰戌丑未月,貴;不通土氣,行土運亦貴。戊日丙辰時,時日並沖,憂傷妻子。魁罡,行東北方運,主權重發福。酉月,近貴無福祿。亥卯未月,以官印論,貴。丙辰時逢為倒食,庫中財官鎖閉門;不遇鑰匙難發達,誅求勞碌度晨昏。戊日丙辰時正,火光坐庫無功。財官鎖閉主興隆,專等鑰匙收用。卯戌開放乙癸,富貴名舉高崇。運行火土不亨通,作事渾如醉夢。

On a day with the stem Wu and branch Chen, paired with a time of stem Bing and branch Chen, there is a conflict and suppression of the father, but the person himself will achieve great success. If the month ruler connects with the day ruler to create a strong and prosperous condition, and the great destiny moves towards the Northeast, then wealth is expected. If born in a month of water or wood and the great destiny moves to a place where the day ruler is strong, then high status is expected. On a day with the stem Wu and branch Wu, paired with a time of stem Bing and branch Chen, if the year and month contain Hai or Mao and the great destiny moves towards the Northeast, then wealth and honor are expected; if the year and month contain Wei or Chou and the great destiny moves towards the Southwest, then one can hold the position of Imperial Censor. On a day with the stem Wu and branch Shen, paired with a time of stem Bing and branch Chen, if born in the month of Chen, Xu, Chou, or Wei, then high status is expected; even if there is no connection with the earth element, if the great destiny moves towards the earth element, then high status is expected. On a day with the stem Wu and branch Xu, paired with a time of stem Bing and branch Chen, the day branch and time branch directly conflict, indicating sorrow for the wife; Wu Xu belongs to the Qiu Gang (a term for a strong and decisive character), if the great destiny moves towards the Northeast, then authority is great and fortune is achieved; if born in the month of You, then one can only rely on noble people and has no personal wealth or honor; if born in the month of Hai, Mao, or Wei, then according to the official and seal (government position), high status is expected. The concluding verse says: for a day of Wu paired with a time of Bing Chen, it is considered a reverse food (a term for a negative aspect), the treasure of wealth and official position is locked inside the warehouse; if the key is not encountered, it is difficult to achieve success, and one can only spend the day seeking and striving, passing the morning and evening in confusion. The interpretation says: for a day of Wu paired with a time of Bing Chen, it is most correct, the fire light sits on the warehouse but cannot be used; although the wealth and official position are locked, the main ruler is prosperous, waiting only for the key to open. When the branches of Mao and Xu appear, the release of wood and water occurs, and the name of wealth and honor rises high; if the great destiny moves towards fire and earth, then it is not smooth, and doing things is like being in a dream.

Six Wu Days: Dingsi Hour Interpretation

六戊日生時丁巳,印生日祿喜歸時;財官不見刑沖破,早際風雲會遇期。戊日丁巳時,印綬遇祿,戊祿居巳,見丁為印,巳上丁火帝旺。年月支干不宜見財官,見官損祿,見財損印。不見官煞,不行財官,行食傷印運,高貴。忌刑沖破害。戊子日丁巳時,貴。子月正財,土厚地方,顯達。亥丑年月,官居極品,內臣中,富貴雙全。

The rhyme says: For a person born on aWu Earth day with aDingsi hour, the印绶 supports the body and the day's禄 is also in the hour, which is most favorable; as long as there is no wealth or official position and no punishment or clash, they will encounter a period of great opportunity early in life. The interpretation says:戊 day with丁巳 hour is "印绶 meets禄": the禄 ofWu Earth is in巳, and the hour stemDing Fire is the印绶. TheDing Fire in巳 is at its peak of prosperity. The year and month stems should not see wealth or officials—seeing officials will damage the禄, and seeing wealth will damage the印. If there is no official or harmful star, and the big luck does not go towards wealth or officials, but instead towards food and official stars and印绶, it indicates high status; only punishment, clash, damage, and harm should be avoided.Wuzi day paired withDingsi hour indicates high status: being born in the month of子 is the正财. If born in a place with thick earth, they will achieve success. If the year and month see亥 or丑, the official position will be of the highest rank, and they will be wealthy and noble among the court officials.

戊寅日丁巳時,寅巳相刑,憂傷妻子。午月,東北運,風憲。寅午年月,四品。戊辰日丁巳時,巳酉丑月,性格風流,威權重大。年月支干不見財官,青雲得路。亥戌,行南運,五六品貴。申,行北運,貴。戊午日丁巳時,柱無甲乙卯寅,日祿歸時格,又戊祿居時,丁祿居日,為互換祿,高貴;行傷食印運,吉;有甲乙寅卯未字,作官印取用亦貴。

On a Wuyin day paired with a Dingsi hour, the寅 and巳 are in mutual conflict, indicating worries about the wife or husband; those born in the Wu month and moving to the Northeast destiny can hold the position of Imperial Censor; if the year and month contain寅 and午, they can attain the rank of fourth class. On a Wuyin day paired with a Dingsi hour, those born in the Si, You, or Chou months have a charming personality and great authority; if the year and month's stem and branch do not contain wealth or official positions, they will achieve success quickly; if they have亥 and Xu and move to the Southern destiny, they can attain the rank of fifth or sixth class; if they have Shen and move to the Northern destiny, they will achieve high status. On a Wuwu day paired with a Dingsi hour, if the column does not contain Jia, Yi, Mao, or寅, it forms the "Day's Wealth Returns to Hour" pattern; furthermore, since Wu's wealth is at the hour's Si and Ding's wealth is at the day's Wu, they exchange their wealth positions, indicating high status; if the big destiny involves the official's enemy, food, and official's patron, it is favorable; if the column contains Jia, Yi,寅, Mao, or Wei, they should use the official and official's patron instead, which also indicates high status.

戊申日丁巳時,春夏平,秋成敗,冬富貴。行木金運,吉。戊戌日丁巳時,無沖破,年月不見財官,不行財官運,貴。寅月,作偏官論,行未申運,貴。子月,透甲亦貴。亥卯未,雖見財官,俱吉,蓋歸祿格不忌官煞與財,以身旺得之,反為福也。日干支祿喜歸時,不見財官貴可期;無破禹門三級浪,佇看一躍上天池。戊日時臨丁巳,祿元印綬相逢。早奪丹桂步蟾宮,合掌公卿權柄。食神傷官運吉。財官相遇無功,雙親雁侶不扶,同有破別尋格用。

On a Wushen day with a Dingsi hour: those born in spring and summer are ordinary, those born in autumn may have both success and failure, and those born in winter may become wealthy. If the big years and months do not show wealth or official positions, and the big fortune does not go towards wealth or official positions, it indicates a high status. Those born in the寅month are considered as a biased official, and those who travel through the运 of Wei and Shen will be wealthy. Those born in the Zi month with the heavenly stem 甲exposed will also be wealthy. If there are亥, Mao, or Wei, even if wealth and official positions appear, it is still auspicious—this is because the禄格 (lucky position) does not fear officials and evils, as long as the day stem is strong and receives them, it becomes a blessing. The concluding verse says: the day stem's禄 (lucky position) prefers to return to the hour, without the need for wealth or officials, one can expect wealth. As long as there is no damage, the three waves before the Yu gate cannot stop it, and one can see a leap into the Tianchi (heavenly pool). The conclusion says: on a Wuday with a Dingsi hour, the禄 (lucky position) meets the印 (favorable official), and one can achieve success early, stepping into the moon palace, holding the power of officials and ministers. If the big fortune goes towards food god and injurious stars, it is auspicious, but encountering wealth and officials brings no success. Parents and siblings cannot help, and once there is a break, one must look for another pattern to use.

Six Wu Days: Wuwu Hour Division

六戊日生時戊午,為人兇狠性多剛;月中化火居官吉,破害刑沖卻是良。戊日戊午時,刃神重迭,戊以午為刃,性狠多剛,如見刑沖破害,刃神受制,通月氣者,為邊疆武職。月中有化氣得天時者,大貴。年月干見甲,僧道命。年中火旺,戊土被焚,多患脾肺疾。若月不通寅午戌亥,通運氣者亦貴。

The rhyme says: A person born on a day with Wu (戊) as the heavenly stem and Wu (午) as the earthly branch is fierce and has a strong character; if the month stem combines with fire and occupies the official position, it is auspicious, but if there is destruction, harm, punishment, or clash, it is actually good. The interpretation says: A person born on Wu day with Wu time is "double Yangren": Wu earth takes Wu (午) as Yangren, so the person is fierce and strong; if there is destruction, harm, punishment, or clash that restrains the Yangren, and the month stem is in harmony with the atmosphere, he can hold a military post at the border. If the month stem has a transformative energy and is in harmony with the weather, he will achieve great wealth. If the heavenly stems of the year and month have Ji (甲), it indicates a life as a monk or Taoist. If fire is too strong in the year stem, the Wu earth is burned, leading to diseases of the spleen and lungs. Even if the month stem does not connect with寅, 午, 戌, or 亥, as long as the big destiny connects with the atmosphere, he will be wealthy.

戊子日戊午時,巳寅戌月,風憲。夏不熔鑄,先刑後發,旺處多官。災破祖。戊寅日戊午時,戌月,三合火局,干透癸化,得天時地利者貴。年月申子會水,寅午會火,有既濟之妙;辰月亦得;酉傷官;未官印,俱吉。戊辰日戊午時,拱祿格,年月無寅巳甲乙字,貴。卯申,武職。酉丑亥,行南運,貴。

On a Wuzi day paired with a Wuwu hour: those born in the Snake, Tiger, or Dog months can become officials. Those born in summer have strong fire, but it cannot be shaped into useful objects. They may suffer from injuries before achieving success. They may hold many official positions when fire is strong, but they may also face disasters and lose their ancestral property. On a Wuyin day paired with a Wuwu hour: those born in the Dog month, with the Tiger, Wu, and Dog forming a Triple Harmony fire pattern, and with癸 and戊 in the heavens forming a combination, will be prosperous due to favorable heaven and earth conditions. If the year and month form a water pattern with申 and 子, and the Tiger and Wu form a fire pattern, there is the wonderful situation of water and fire in harmony. Those born in the Dragon month are also favorable. Seeing You is beneficial as it indicates a skilled official, and seeing Wei is also beneficial as it indicates official rank and support. On a Wuchen day paired with a Wuwu hour, it forms the "Arching Wealth Pattern" (with the Chen and Wu surrounding the巳, which contains the wealth of the earth). Those without the characters of寅,巳,甲, or 乙 in the year or month will be prosperous. Seeing卯 or 申 indicates a military position. Seeing You, Chou, or Hai and moving to the southern direction will lead to prosperity.

戊午日戊午時,先刑後發,多不善終。寅巳午戌年月,印綬,大貴。純午,武職威權,名重鎮藩。亥卯未申,富貴雙全。戊申日戊午時,拱貴格,年月逢寅,行南運,風憲;逢午,貴壽;戌文貴。有未填實、巳建祿相連一片者,大貴。戊戌日戊午時,大凶。卯午年月,官運,貴顯。寅,印綬帶煞,變凶為吉。戊逢戊午火離鄉,刃旺身強大顯揚;運蹇時乖名未就,平常衣祿度時光。戊日時逢戊午,比肩財祿遲違。妻重子晚任施為,發達運臨壬癸。父母雁行少利,六親冰炭疏癸有。沖剋破始奇特中,末之年主貴。

On a day of Wuwu paired with an hour of Wuwu, one first suffers from injuries and then achieves success, but often does not end well. If the year and month contain寅,巳,午, or 戌, the official seal is strong, indicating great wealth and status. If the earth branches are all 午, one will hold a military position and wield authority, gaining prominence in a region. If there are 亥,卯,未, or 申, one will achieve both wealth and status. On a day of Wushen paired with an hour of Wuwu, it forms the "Arching Wealth Pattern." If the year and month contain 寅 and one travels in the Southern direction, one may serve as an imperial censor. If there is 午, one will be both wealthy and long-lived. If there is 戌, one will gain status through literary talent. If there is a future branch filling an empty position and also巳, with the official position connected, one will achieve great wealth. On a day of Wuxu paired with an hour of Wuwu, it is a major凶. If the year and month contain 卯 and 午 and one travels in an official career path, one will achieve high status. If there is 寅, the official seal is accompanied by seven evils, but this can transform misfortune into good fortune. The concluding verse says: Wu earth meets Wuwu, which is the fire of Li in its native land. The Yangren is strong and the day ruler is powerful, leading to great prominence. However, once the great destiny is obstructed and the timing is unfavorable, one's fame and status will not be achieved, and one can only rely on ordinary clothing and food for daily life. The interpretation says: On a day of Wu with an hour of Wuwu, the same pillar is at the forefront, and wealth and official rank come late. One may marry twice and have children later. No matter what one does, one will only achieve success when the great destiny arrives at Ren or Gui. Parents and brothers offer little help, and the six relations are unstable, gradually becoming distant. It is precisely through clashes, conflicts, and harm that something extraordinary emerges, and in the end, one will achieve high status in old age.

On the day of Jiwei (己未) in the Six Wu days, the interpretation at the time of Jiwei is as follows:

六戊日生時己未,羊刃偏官不怕沖;但是為人多性狠,平生衣祿亦無凶。戊日己未時,羊刃偏官,戊以己為羊刃,甲為偏官,時上明暗二己為刃,甲木未中合局,若見刑沖破害,刃煞有制,主貴。通月旺者平常衣祿,二十年,父母俱失;若不通月氣,得寅申者貴。戊寅日己未時,時日相穿,憂傷妻子,早苦晚好。月通土氣,行財官運,貴;水木月,行身旺運,貴。戊寅日己未時,先難後易,貴人提攜,不貴即富。年月透甲制刃,地支午未身旺,煞刃雙顯,主大貴。

The rhyme says: For a person born on the day of Wuyin (戊寅) with the hour of Jiwei (己未), the Yangren (羊刃) and the biased official (偏官) are both present, so they are not afraid of clashes. However, such people tend to be fierce and cruel in nature, but their fortune in clothing and food is not extremely bad. The interpretation says: For a person born on Wuyin day with Jiwei hour, it is called "Yangren and biased official". The Wutu (戊土) uses Ji (己土) as Yangren and Ji (甲木) as the biased official. The Ji (己) in the hour pillar and the hidden Ji in the Wei (未) form two layers of Yangren. The Ji (甲) wood combines with the wood qi in Wei to form a complete set. If there are clashes, punishments, breaks or harm that restrict both Yangren and the seven evils (七煞), it indicates a high status. If the month pillar is in the旺 (strong) position of the earth element, it is just an ordinary fortune in clothing and food, and both parents will pass away around the age of twenty. If the month pillar is not in the旺 position, but there are寅 (Yin) and申 (Shen) in the pillar, it indicates a high status. A person born on Wuyin day with Jiwei hour has the day pillar and hour pillar in a six-harm relationship (相穿), which indicates worries about the wife, hardship in early years, and improvement in later years. If the month pillar is in the旺 position of the earth element and the person travels through wealth and official positions, they will be high status. If they are born in a month of water or wood and travel through a strong day pillar, they will also be high status. (The next line is still about Wuyin day and Jiwei hour, and the original text is repeated.) This line says that it is difficult at first but easy later, with the help of a nobleman, even if not high status, they will be wealthy. If the heavenly stem of the year and month reveals Ji (甲) to control the Yangren, and the earth branch has Wu (午) and Wei (未) to strengthen the day pillar, then both the evil official and the Yangren are clearly present, indicating great status.

戊辰日己未時,春冬,行北運,富貴。戊午日己未時,羊刃偏官,主人機謀,壽促,不然,妻子難為重立重成。午亥年月,金土運,貴;申酉,富。戊申日己未時貴,行財官運,發福。嫌寅沖煞有凶。戊戌日己未時,春,官旺,貴。夏印安穩。秋平。冬孤苦。戌月,魁罡格,五六品貴。須年月申子辰會財,寅午印綬,己酉傷官,亥卯官煞,各成局面方吉。未中戊己土成堆,刑害沖來事亦諧;先暗後明凶變吉,貴人提攜出塵埋。戊時臨己未,六親骨肉成疏。喜逢火印暗中扶,甲乙寅卯為主。重謝花開結果,雙親雁行夭孤。自為自立自圖謀,賴有貴人扶助。

On a day of Wu Chen with an hour of Ji Wei: those born in spring or winter and who go through the northern fortune will achieve wealth and status. On a day of Wu Wu with an hour of Ji Wei, Yang Ren and biased official are both present; such people are rich in schemes but have short lifespans; if they live long, they will find it hard to keep their wives, needing to remarry and reestablish themselves; if the year and month contain Wu and Hai and they go through a great fortune of metal and earth, they will be noble; if they encounter Shen and You, they will be rich. On a day of Wu Shen with an hour of Ji Wei, it indicates nobility; if the great fortune leads to wealth and official positions, they will gain blessings; however, it is unfavorable if Yin comes to disturb the seven evils and cause misfortune. On a day of Wu Xu with an hour of Ji Wei: those born in spring have strong official stars and are noble; those born in summer have stable official stars; those born in autumn are ordinary; those born in winter are lonely and unfortunate; those born in the month of Xu form the Qiu Gang pattern and attain a mid-level official rank; they also need the year and month to have Shen, Zi, Chen to form a wealth pattern, Yin and Wu to form official stars, Ji and You to form injurious stars, Hai and Mao to form official stars or evils, each forming their own pattern for good fortune. The concluding verse says: the earth of Wu and Ji in Wei accumulates like a mountain, with punishments and harms or disturbances leading to smooth affairs; from hidden to revealed, from misfortune to good fortune, it all depends on the nobleman's support to rise from the dust. The conclusion states: on a day of Wu with an hour of Ji Wei, the six relations and family members become distant; the favorable aspect is encountering fire to form the official star, secretly supporting, still taking甲 and乙, Yin and Mao as the main factors. Flowers bloom and wither, eventually bearing fruit, but parents and brothers may die young and be lonely; everything is self-reliant and self-seeking, relying entirely on the nobleman's assistance.

Six Wu Days: Gengshen Hour Division

六戊日生時庚申,干上食神喜相親;不見卯寅兼甲丙,何憂玉帶不榮身。戊日庚申時,戊以庚為食,壬癸為財,申上庚旺壬生,戊土有氣,無丙火奪食破財,再無寅巳刑沖,生秋月大貴。如有丙火甲寅並巳,為人反覆,亦有功名。年月干止透甲三奇,地支會局,或止寅辰,皆貴。戊子日庚申時,若生亥子月,亦是合祿,貴。戊寅日庚申時,凶刑後發,如生寅月,作食祿制煞論,貴。

The song says: For a day ruler of Wu earth born at the time of Geng Shen, the heavenly stem food god and the day ruler are harmonious and close; as long as there is no Bing fire, Yin wood, Ji wood, or Bing fire, there is no worry of not having a jade belt around the waist. The interpretation says: On a Wu day with Geng Shen time, Wu earth takes Geng metal as its food god and Ren and Gui water as its wealth; Geng metal is strong in Shen and produces Ren water, and Wu earth itself has strength; as long as there is no Bing fire to take away the food and destroy wealth, and no Yin or Si to cause punishment and clash, those born in autumn month will be of great importance. If there is Bing fire, Ji wood, or Si in the pillar, the person will be fickle and changeable, but can still achieve fame and status. If the heavenly stems of the year and month only reveal one Ji wood to form the Three Marvels, and the earthly branches form a set, or only Yin and Chen are present, they will be of high status. For a Wu Zi day paired with Geng Shen time: if born in Hai or Zi month, it is considered harmonious and prosperous, indicating high status. For a Wu Yin day paired with Geng Shen time: first experience danger and injury before achieving success; if born in Yin month, according to the theory of food god getting its strength to control the seven evils, it indicates high status.

戊辰日庚申時,專食合祿,純寅年月,二寅不怕一申沖,亦貴。戊午日庚申時,未酉丑年月,柱無丙甲卯寅,入合祿格,行西北運,貴;有甲丙又合神藏煞沒,四柱純陽格,大貴。戊申日庚申時,身祿同窠,富貴兩全,子辰未酉年月,行西運,入合祿格,近上三品。年月丑戌,吉:辰戌傷克,平常。亥巳年月,行東北運,一二品貴。戊戌日庚申時,災瘧內,子月,亦合祿格,文貴三品。卯辰年月,大貴。戊日時臨喜見庚,食神合祿主昌榮;旺中若見刑沖字,活計生涯只許平。戊日庚申時遇,支上生旺奇希。食神生神顯光輝,上下流通旺氣。丙字傷枝損葉,甲寅群雁行虧。若無沖破與刑剋,積玉堆金之貴。

On a Wuchen day with a Gengshen hour, it is specifically favorable for the food god to combine with the official star; if the year and month branches are all寅, two寅 are not afraid of one申 to clash, and it is considered noble. On a Wuwu day with a Gengshen hour, if the year and month have 未, 酉, or 丑 and the pillar does not contain 丙, 甲, 卯, or 寅, it enters the "combination of official star" pattern, and traveling west-northwestern fortune brings nobility; if there are 甲 and 丙 with hidden combination and seven evils are absent, and the four pillars form a pure yang pattern, it indicates great nobility. On a Wushen day with a Gengshen hour, the day ruler and the official star are in the same position, achieving both wealth and nobility; if the year and month have 子, 辰, 未, or 酉 and travel western fortune, entering the "combination of official star" pattern, it can reach third rank; if the year and month have 丑 or 戌, it is favorable; if there is 辰 and 戌 mutual damage, it is ordinary; if the year and month have 亥 or 巳 and travel northeast fortune, it can reach first or second rank. On a Wuxu day with a Gengshen hour, it indicates internal diseases like malaria; if born in the month of 子, it forms the "combination of official star" pattern, achieving noble status through literary talent, reaching third rank; if the year and month have 卯 or 辰, it indicates great nobility. The concluding verse says: On a Wu day, the most favorable hour is Geng; the food god combining with the official star brings prosperity and honor; if there is a clash or punishment in the旺 position, business and endeavors will be ordinary. The commentary says: On a Wu day encountering Gengshen hour, the earth branch has rare旺 energy; the food god develops and shines, with continuous旺 energy flowing up and down. Fear the presence of 丙 which harms branches and leaves, and the presence of 甲 and 寅 which causes sibling loss; if there is no clash or punishment, it is a noble destiny with accumulated wealth and gold.

Six Wu Days on Xinyou Hour

六戊日生時辛酉,傷官暴敗怕時逢;柱中縱有財星助,有子不成命早終。戊日辛酉時,身敗傷官,戊以乙為官,辛為傷官,酉上辛金旺,戊土沐浴,為人性傲行卑。年月透乙,為禍百端;如有乙再行官旺運,刑害不吉。若通生氣月,行北運,不貴即富。戊子日辛酉時,巳酉丑月,傷官傷盡,行財旺運,武職風憲。戊寅日辛酉時,通土氣月,行西北運,不貴亦富。

The rhyme says: For a person born on a Wuyin day with a Xinyou hour, the official is harmed and the day's ruler is in a weak position, and this is most dangerous when it occurs in the hour. Even if there is a wealth star in the column to help, it is difficult to achieve success and the person may die young. The interpretation says: A person born on a Wuyin day with a Xinyou hour is "body failure and official harm." Wutu uses Yimu as the official and Xinjin as the official harm. Xinjin is strong in the酉 position, and Wutu is in a weak position in the酉. This person is proud in nature but behaves humbly. If the year or month's heavenly stem reveals Yimu, there will be many troubles. If there is Yimu and the official star is strong in the big year, it is not auspicious. If the month is in theLife Qi position and the big year goes to the north, it will not be noble but will be wealthy. For a person born on a Wuzi day with a Xinyou hour: if born in the巳, 酉, or 丑 month, the official harm is fully expressed, and if the big year is strong in wealth, he can hold a military position as a censor. For a person born on a Wuyin day with a Xinyou hour: if the month is in the earth's qi and the big year goes to the northwest, it will not be noble but will be wealthy.

戊辰日辛酉時,丑未年月,干透財,主貴。若癸巳月,詞館學堂居提綱,主文學高科,寅申巳亥年,則時犯狼藉煞,晚無結果。戊午日辛酉時,春夏平常。秋,傷官傷盡,權貴壽促。冬,難為妻子。戊申日辛酉時,戌亥丑子年月,權貴。戊戌日辛酉時,辰戌丑未月,貴。古人以水土敗在酉,所以多無結果,或功名早退,或子息不成。觀上六日無大官命,可見傷官時遇不吉。戊日逢辛號剝官,時上遇之尤堪嫌;官星若遇生奇禍,尤恐帶疾子不全。戊日時臨辛酉,傷官不喜官星。財鄉運地始亨通,性格心情不定。無破難招祖業,雁侶各自飛騰。妻重子晚始安寧,先難後易之命。

On a Wuchen day paired with Xinyou hour: if the year and month contain Chou or Wei and the heavenly stem reveals a wealth star, the person will be of noble status; if born in Guisi month, the status of Ciguan and Xuetang is in line with the month, indicating high literary talent; but if the year branch is Yin, Shen, Si, or Hai, the hour will be afflicted by the disorderly evil star, leading to no success in later years. On a Wuwu day paired with Xinyou hour: those born in spring and summer are ordinary; those born in autumn have their official star completely exhausted, gaining power but short life; those born in winter have difficulty keeping their wives. On a Wushen day paired with Xinyou hour: if the year and month contain Xu, Hai, Chou, or Zi, the person will be of noble status. On a Wuxu day paired with Xinyou hour: those born in Chen, Xu, Chou, or Wei months will be of noble status. Ancient people believed that water and earth are defeated by You, so this hour is mostly without results, or the official rank is lost early, or there are no children. Looking at the above six days, none have the destiny of a high official, showing that the official star at the hour is not auspicious. The concluding verse says: on a Wu day meeting Xinyou, it is called 'peeling off the official', especially when it occurs at the hour, which is particularly undesirable; if the official star truly meets, it will bring strange misfortunes, and even more so, fear of illness and incomplete children. The conclusion states: on a Wu day with Xinyou at the hour, the official star is not desired; only when the big year reaches the wealth star will prosperity begin, and the character and mood are always unstable. Even without destruction, it is difficult to inherit the family fortune, and brothers will scatter; one must marry twice and have a child in old age to achieve peace, indicating a destiny of difficulty first then ease.

Six Wu Days: Renxu Hour Division

六戊日生時壬戌,身居正位見天財;若生秋月通身旺,萬貫家資不用猜。戊日壬戌時,專位逢財,戊以仁為財,戌上水冠帶。春夏壬水無氣,財帛不旺;冬則大旺,土虛身弱不能驅駕;惟秋後戊土堅厚,財命有氣,富貴。戊子日壬戌時,酉申戌月,家財滿目。辰、丑沖刑庫開,俱吉。戊寅日壬戌時,寅午戌辰年月,金水運,大貴。

The rhyme says: For a day ruler of Wu earth born at the hour of Renxu, the day ruler is in its original position and meets the heavenly wealth; if born in autumn when the month ruler connects with the day ruler's strength, wealth of ten thousand taels is certain without needing to guess. The interpretation says: Wu day with Renxu hour is "special position meeting wealth": Wu earth takes Ren water as wealth (the original text "ren" is likely a mistake for "ren"). Ren water in the hour of Xuxu is in the capping position. In spring and summer, Ren water has no strength, so wealth is not prosperous; in winter, water is extremely strong, earth is weak and the body is weak, and it cannot be controlled. Only after the beginning of autumn does Wu earth become solid and thick, and both wealth and destiny have strength, thus indicating wealth and honor. For Wu day with Renxu hour, if born in the month of You, Shen, or Xuxu, the family has abundant wealth; if there are Chen or Chou to clash and open the warehouse, it is also auspicious. For Wu day with Wuxu hour, if the year and month have Yin, Wu, Xuxu, or Chen and the person goes through a major metal and water destiny, it indicates great wealth.

戊辰日壬戌時,時日並沖,憂傷妻子,如土厚地方,大貴。卯月,火金運,中貴。寅申戌丑,行西南運,極貴。戊午日壬戌時,寅午戌月生,時歲火多,以印綬論,未免孤克,先難後易,不貴即富。卯月,官星制刃,吉。戊申日壬戌時,春貴,夏平,秋富貴,冬平常。戊戌日壬戌時,秋富貴。夏,西運;春,北運;冬,南運,俱貴。辰丑月,尤吉。壬戌時財庫內埋,要開專等鑰匙來;運行財官生旺地,富貴榮華不用猜。戊時逢壬戌,柱中卯丑為歡。子辰乙貴顯財官,出住高人相伴。開庫填房就舍,無沖雁侶難完。先貧後富事團圓,不貴倉箱廣滿。

On a day with the stem Wuchen and time with the stem Renxu, the day branch and time branch are in direct opposition, indicating worries for the wife; if born in a place with thick earth, it instead indicates great fortune; if born in the month of卯 and with a strong fire and metal in the big years, it is a moderate kind of fortune; if the year and month have寅, 申, 戌, or 丑 and the person moves to the southwest, it is extremely fortunate. On a day with the stem Wuwu and time with the stem Renxu: if born in the month of寅, 午, or 戌 and the pillar and flow year have abundant fire, according to the principle of the official star, it is difficult at first but easy later, not necessarily wealthy but certainly rich; if born in the month of卯, the official star controls the Yangren, which is favorable. On a day with the stem Wushen and time with the stem Renxu: those born in spring are prosperous, those born in summer are average, those born in autumn are prosperous and wealthy, and those born in winter are average. On a day with the stem Wuxu and time with the stem Renxu: those born in autumn are prosperous and wealthy; those born in summer born and moving to the western direction, those born in spring and moving to the northern direction, and those born in winter and moving to the southern direction are all prosperous; those born in the month of辰 or 丑 are especially favorable. The concluding verse says: the wealth of Renxu time is buried in the treasury, and to open the treasury one just waits for the key to arrive; when the big years reach the place where wealth and official star are strong, wealth and honor will not need to be guessed. The interpretation says: on a day with the stem Wu and time with the stem Renxu, the column most prefers to see卯 and 丑; seeing 子, 辰, and 乙 will show wealth and official star, and when going out there will be a wise person to accompany. Once the treasury is opened, one can remarry and buy a house; if there is no conflict, brothers will have difficulty; throughout life, one starts poor and becomes rich, everything is harmonious, even if not wealthy, the granaries and chests will be large and full.

Six Wu Days: Guihai Hour

六戊日生時癸亥,化火無戌戰水鄉;若見乙庚丁丑無,反為官命不尋常。戊日癸亥時,戊合癸化火,火絕於亥,戰於水鄉,不成其象,為人虛秀,多是九流藝術近貴之人,主患目疾。戊以甲為鬼,壬癸為財,亥上壬旺甲生,戊土氣絕,財帛聚散,若年月干頭見乙丁庚旺,為三奇之貴;通土氣月身旺,行火木運,吉。

The song says: For a day born with Wu (戊) as the main element, if born at Guihai (癸亥) hour, although Wu and Gui may combine to form fire, without Xu (戌) to assist, it is necessary to struggle in the water region; if there are Yi (乙), Geng (庚), and Ding (丁) but no Chou (丑) to disrupt, it becomes an unusual official destiny. The interpretation says: For a day of Wu with Guihai hour, Wu and Gui combine to form fire, but fire is in its dead place at亥, and it is fighting in the water region, so the transformation is not realized. Such people have only a clear and refined appearance but lack substance, mostly being people of the nine streams, those close to noblemen, and they are prone to eye diseases. Wu earth takes Ji (甲) wood as the "ghost" (seven evils) and Ren (壬) and Gui (癸) water as wealth. The strong Ren water at亥 nourishes Ji wood, so the Qi of Wu earth is exhausted, and wealth is gathered and then dispersed. If the heavenly stems of the year and month are strong Yi, Ding, and Geng, it becomes the Three Marvels and the nobleman. If the month's stem is in harmony with earth and the day's main element is strong, and if the person goes through a big fire and wood fortune, it is auspicious.

戊子日癸亥時,年月不見戊字破格,貴。申子年月,東南運;亥卯,南運,俱貴。巳午未旺,大貴。戊寅日癸亥時,午未月生,化火會局,高命。春,官煞混雜,溫飽衣祿。酉丑年月,三品京堂。戊辰日癸亥時,秀。亥子月,財官格,不貴則富。寅卯年月,貴顯。夏生,教職。戊午日癸亥時,貴。寅巳年月,土厚水秀地方,六七品貴。卯未辰丑,俱吉。

On a Wuzi day paired with a Guihai hour: if the year and month do not contain the character Wu to break the pattern, the person is of high status. If the year and month contain Shen and Zi and the person moves to the Southeast, or contain Hai and Mao and move to the South, they are of high status. If the year and month contain Si, Wu, and Wei, with strong fire energy, they are of great status. On a Wuyin day paired with a Guihai hour: if born in the month of Wu or Wei and the fire pattern is formed, it is a high destiny. If born in spring, the official and harmful stars are mixed, and the person only gets a modest living. If the year and month contain You and Chou, they can hold a third rank official position in the capital. On a Wuchen day paired with a Guihai hour: the person is refined and elegant. If born in the month of Hai or Zi, the wealth and officialdom pattern is formed, not necessarily of high status but wealthy. If the year and month contain Yin or Mao, the person becomes prominent. If born in summer, they are likely to hold teaching positions. On a Wuwu day paired with a Guihai hour: it indicates high status. If the year and month contain Yin and Si, and the person is born in a place with thick earth and clear water, they achieve a rank of sixth or seventh. If the year and month contain Mao, Wei, Chen, or Chou, it is all favorable.

戊申日癸亥時,子未年月,無祖業,因妻致富,不然移根換葉,貧而且賤。戊戌日癸亥時,寅卯午巳丑戌亥年月,天干透乙庚丁字,清要權貴,宜火土運。戊癸化火亥時生,落照江湖暗復明;卯未月生三合吉,移屋換舍必安寧。戊日時臨癸亥,天干化火為奇。乙、庚丁旺喜相宜,定主名聲顯貴。四海春風響快,六親骨肉刑虧。妻賢子孝樂怡怡,無破科名及第。

On a Wushen day paired with a Guihai hour: those whose year or month contains Zi or Wei will not inherit ancestral property, but will become prosperous through their wife; otherwise, they will have to change their roots and establish a new household, and will be poor and lowly. On a Wuxu day paired with a Guihai hour: those whose year or month contains Yin, Mao, Wu, Si, Chou, Xu, or Hai, and whose heavenly stem reveals Yi, Geng, or Ding, will be able to hold important positions and wield power, and it is favorable to have a great fortune in fire and earth. The concluding verse says: the combination of Wu and Gui produces fire, which is born at the hour of Hai, like the lingering light of the setting sun over rivers and lakes, darkening but then brightening again; if born in the month of Mao or Wei and forming a Triple Harmony, after moving house and changing residence, they will surely find peace and stability. The interpretation says: on a Wu day with the hour of Guihai, the combination of heavenly stems forming fire is a rare and auspicious event; when Yi, Geng, and Ding are strong, it is most suitable, and they will certainly achieve fame and prestige. A person like the spring breeze over the four seas, cheerful and easygoing, but the six relations and family members may suffer from injuries and losses; if the wife is virtuous and the children are filial, and the family is harmonious and happy, as long as there is no damage, they will certainly pass the imperial examinations.

Volume Nine

On the sixth day of Ji (己日), at the hour of Jiazi (甲子), the interpretation is as follows:

六己日生時甲子,明見官星暗有財;倚托若通於月氣,平生衣祿自天來。己日甲子時,明官暗財。己用甲為官,癸為財,辛為食,子為天乙貴,子上有明甲暗癸,辛長生。身若有倚托通月氣者,富貴;若不身旺,行土氣運,亦好。己丑日甲子時,化貴,午寅年月,夭折;通土氣月,貴。忌甲寅月,貴中惡死。丁未月受刑,丁丑月破祖,失鄉惡死。

The rhyme says: On a day where the day master is Ji (己) and the time is Jiazi (甲子), there is an official star clearly visible and hidden wealth in the background; if the day master can connect with the energy of the month, then all his clothes and food are given by heaven. The interpretation says: On Ji day with Jiazi time, it is "clear official and hidden wealth": Ji earth takes Jia wood as the official star, Gui water as the biased wealth, and Xin metal as the food god. Zi is also the Tianyi Nobleman for Ji earth. In Zi, Jia wood is clearly visible, Gui water is hidden, and Xin metal is in its growth stage in Zi. If the day master has support and the month's energy is connected, it indicates wealth and honor. Even if the day master is not strong, if the big luck comes to the earth element, it is good. On Ji Chou day with Jiazi time, because Jia and Ji combine to form earth, it brings honor. If the year or month has Wu or Yin, it leads to early death. If the month has earth energy, it brings honor. It is to be avoided if born in Jiayin month, as even in honor, there is a bad death. If born in Dingwei month, it is punished. If born in Dingchou month, it leads to the destruction of ancestral property, wandering away from home, and a bad end.

己卯日甲子時,先破祖後旺,或旺中有傷。辰戌丑未月,貴。午,身旺。子,聚貴,亥,官長生,俱大貴。忌己巳月,破敗凶死。庚申月,血光惡死。壬子月,刑害死。己巳日庚子時,辰戌丑未月,風憲三品,要行水木運,西運無成,南運財官無氣,虛名薄利,貴而不顯。子寅年月,東南運,貴顯;《神白經》說:“化土生福,但不顯。”忌壬寅月,受刑。乙未月,刑傷。癸酉月,夭。

On a day of Ji Mao with a time of Jia Zi, the person will first experience the destruction of ancestral property and then become prosperous, or during prosperity there will be some damage. Those born in the months of Chen, Xu, Chou, or Wei will have high status. If the month is Wu, the day ruler will be strong; if the month is Zi, the divine spirits will gather; if the month is Hai, the official star will be in its place of growth, all of which indicate great wealth and status. It is unfavorable to be born in the month of Ji Si, which indicates destruction and death; if born in the month of Geng Shen, it indicates death from blood-related accidents; if born in the month of Ren Zi, it indicates death due to punishment and harm. On a day of Ji Si with a time of Jia Zi (the original text says 'Geng Zi', which is likely a mistake), those born in the months of Chen, Xu, Chou, or Wei can hold the position of a third rank imperial censor, and they must go through a water and wood destiny cycle. If they go through the western destiny cycle, they will achieve nothing; if they go through the southern destiny cycle, they will have no real wealth or official position, only a hollow reputation and small gains, being wealthy but not prominent. If the year and month contain Zi or Yin and they go through the southeast destiny cycle, they will become prominent. The "Shen Bai Jing" says that when the combination forms earth, it can bring blessings, but it is not enough for great success. It is unfavorable to be born in the month of Ren Yin, which indicates punishment; in the month of Yi Wei, which indicates injury; in the month of Gui You, which indicates early death.

己未日甲子時,高身坐官庫,辰戌丑未月,吉。寅亥月,官旺,文章振發,貴顯易成。巳丑,文貴晚成。寅卯,貧下。忌甲申月,身不完死。丙子月,孤貧。丁丑月,刑害。己酉日甲子時,寅申午未丑年月,文貴風憲。午月,東北運,極品。忌庚寅年,破敗惡死。己巳月,凶惡。戊戌月,孤單血死。

On the day of Jiwei with the hour of Jiazi, the pattern is high quality. The day's ruler sits on the repository of the official star: it is favorable in the months of Shengchen, Xuxu, Chouchou, and Weiwei; in the months of Yinyue and Haizhui, the official star is strong, leading to success in literature and easy attainment of high status; if the person is born in the month of Si or Chou, they will gain official rank through literary talent, but achieve fame later; if born in the month of Yin or Mao, they will be poor and lowly. Avoid being born in the month of Jiashen, as it leads to a broken body and incomplete life; if born in the month of Bingzi, it indicates loneliness and poverty; if born in the month of Dingchou, it indicates punishment and harm. On the day of Jiyou with the hour of Jiazi: if the year and month include Yin, Shen, Wu, Wei, or Chou, the person will gain official rank through literary talent and can serve as a censor; if born in the month of Wu and moving to the Northeast fortune, they will reach the highest position. Avoid being born in the year of Gengyin, which leads to failure and a bad death; if born in the month of Jisi, it is ominous; if born in the month of Wuxu, it indicates loneliness and a violent death.

己亥日甲子時,春夏,財官生旺吉;秋冬四季,背祿逐馬,凶。寅月,金火運,郎官。午月,東北運,金紫。忌壬寅月,惡死。壬申月,過貧遭刑。癸酉月,破敗。己日喜逢甲子時,財官雙美貴希奇;一朝得遇風雲會,獨步蟾宮折桂枝。己日時臨甲子,化生土厚滋基。財官既助顯光輝,有似青龍戲水。不遇庚金卯午,為人祿至福齊。常人發福有施為,君子登科及第。

On a day of Ji Hai with a time of Jia Zi: For those born in spring or summer, their wealth and official positions are in a flourishing state, which is auspicious; however, for those born in autumn, winter, or the months of Chen, Xu, Chou, or Wei, they are separated from the Lu Spirit and driven away the Post-horse, indicating misfortune. Those born in the month of Yin and moving into a metal or fire destiny may attain the rank of a physician; those born in the month of Wu and moving into the Northeast destiny may reach the position of a high-ranking official. It is unfavorable to be born in the month of Ren Yin, which leads to a bad death; those born in the month of Ren Shen face extreme poverty and punishment; those born in the month of Gui You face destruction. The concluding verse says: On a day of Ji, the most favorable time is Jia Zi, with both wealth and official positions being excellent, and the noble are rare; once encountering a meeting of wind and cloud, one can alone climb the moon palace and pluck a branch of osmanthus. The interpretation says: On a day of Ji with a time of Jia Zi, Jia and Ji combine to generate earth, with a solid foundation; since wealth and official positions come to assist, their brilliance naturally emerges, like the Azure Dragon playing in water. As long as they do not meet with Geng metal and the branches of Mao or Wu, they will have good fortune and official position; common people may gain prosperity and achieve something, while scholars may pass the imperial examinations.

Sixth Ji Day, Yichou Hour Division

六己日生時乙丑,煞星受制不為傷;柱中身旺多榮貴,無助生人晝夜忙。己日乙丑時,專財逢鬼,丑上有明乙為鬼,暗癸為財。若有倚托通身旺者,貴;通運亦吉。若鬼有助,旺不能任者,衣祿平常。己丑日乙丑時,時上偏官,居武職都閫,還看地方斷之。卯月金水運,六七品貴。己卯日乙丑時,子申月,行金土運,侯伯。巳酉丑戌年月,俱吉。己巳日乙丑時,寅卯月,偏官格。無酉戌字,文進貴命。

The rhyme says: For a day ruler of Ji earth born at Yi Chou hour, if the seven deadly stars are restrained, they do not harm the person; if the day ruler is strong in the column, it indicates honor and wealth, but those without support must work day and night. The interpretation says: On Ji day and Yi Chou hour, it is called "special wealth meets ghost": there is Yi wood clearly present in Chou as the "ghost" (seven deadly stars), and hidden癸 water as wealth. If the day ruler has support and is strong, it indicates high status; if the big luck period also opens the energy, it is auspicious. If the seven deadly stars have other helpers and become too strong for the day ruler to bear, then the person will have an average life. For Ji Chou day paired with Yi Chou hour, the hour forms a biased official, which can be a military position, and it also depends on the birthplace to judge; if born in the month of Mao and with a big luck period of metal and water, it indicates a rank of sixth or seventh. For Ji Mao day paired with Yi Chou hour: if born in the month of Zi or Shen and with a big luck period of metal and earth, it can lead to a marquis title; if the year and month contain Si, You, Chou, or Xu, it is auspicious. For Ji Si day paired with Yi Chou hour: if born in the month of Yin or Mao, it forms a biased official pattern; if the column does not contain You or Xu, it is a noble birth through literary talent.

己未日乙丑時,時日並沖,妻生財可也。卯午年月,金神入火鄉,西南運,貴。辰戌四季全,大貴。干透丁辛,純陰亦貴。己酉日乙丑時,卯月,偏官。辰月,財煞,貴。申酉,傷官傷盡。巳午,印綬,俱貴。丑戌,亦貴。己亥日乙丑時,卯月,大貴。申月,水木運,風憲、方面。時逢乙丑本身衰,庫有財星內伏埋;不遇鑰匙難顯達,方知出外稱心懷。己日時臨乙丑,庫中耗鬼興災。祖宗產業有盈虧,謀望財去財來。戌未刑沖發福,無匙來往搬移,雙親雁序事難依,救未中取貴。

On the day of Jiwei with the time of Yichou, the day branch and time branch are in direct conflict, which is not very good for wealth generation through the wife; if there are branches of Mao and Wu in the year or month, it indicates the "metal god" falling into the fire land, and traveling in the southwest direction brings great fortune; if there are branches of Chen and Xu in the year or month, and all four seasons of Chen, Xu, Chou, and Wei are present, it indicates great fortune; if the heavenly stem is revealed as Ding or Xin and the entire八字 consists of yin stems, it also indicates great fortune. On the day of Jiyou with the time of Yichou: being born in the month of Mao indicates a biased official; being born in the month of Chen indicates both wealth and malefic influences, which brings great fortune; if there are branches of Shen and You, it indicates the official is fully expressed; if there are branches of Si and Wu, it indicates the ministerial official is completed, all of which bring great fortune; if there are branches of Chou and Xu, it also brings great fortune. On the day of Jihai with the time of Yichou: being born in the month of Mao indicates great fortune; being born in the month of Shen and traveling in the water and wood big destiny brings the possibility of holding a position as a censor or a high official in a certain region. The concluding verse says: when the time is Yichou and the day stem is weak, the hidden wealth star is stored in the treasury; if the key is not found, it is difficult to achieve success, thus realizing that going out to seek a living can lead to satisfaction. The judgment says: on the day of Ji with the time of Yichou, the hidden ghost that consumes the body is in the treasury, causing disasters; the ancestral property has both gains and losses, and when planning matters, wealth comes and goes. If there is a conflict with Xu and Wei, it brings good fortune, but without the key, one can only move around frequently; matters related to parents and brothers are hard to rely on, and one must seek fortune through salvation and support.

Sixth Ji Day, Bingyin Hour Division

六己日生時丙寅,暗官明印旺其身;月通木氣無沖破,貴倚三臺八位成。己日丙寅時,官印生旺。己用甲為官,丙為印,寅上甲旺丙生。如果無破、通木局月氣者,大貴。喜行木火,不宜金水,歲君同。己丑日丙寅時,春官旺,夏印旺,秋既濟,冬平。辰戌年月,文貴顯達。純丑,壽高。戌月,木火運,五、六品貴。己卯日丙寅時,午辰年月,文章顯達,大貴。寅午,官至三品。己巳日丙寅時,先刑後旺。寅月,正官格,文章顯貴。亥子水,水運,貴。純戌,武職三品。年月申亥四生局全,大貴,或不善終。

The song says: For a day born on Jichou with Bingyin time, there is an official star in the hidden and a minister star in the open to nourish and strengthen the day's ruler; if the month's stem is in harmony with the wood element and not broken, then one can attain high status by relying on the Three Palaces and Eight Seats. The interpretation says: For a day born on Jichou with Bingyin time, it is "official and minister stars are strong": Jichou takes Jia wood as the official star and Bing fire as the minister star. In Bingyin, Jia wood is strong and Bing fire is in its growth phase. If these are not damaged and the month's stem also connects with the wood element, it indicates great wealth. This pattern favors the wood and fire destiny years, and is not suitable for metal and water. The same applies to the current year. For a day born on Jichou paired with Bingyin time: if born in spring, the official star is strong; if born in summer, the minister star is strong; if born in autumn, it is the Ji Ji hexagram (water and fire in harmony); if born in winter, it is ordinary. If the year and month have Chen or Xu, it indicates literary talent and high status; if the branches are all Chou, it indicates a long life; if born in the month of Xu and moving through wood and fire destiny years, it indicates a mid-level official position. For a day born on Jimao paired with Bingyin time: if the year and month have Wu or Chen, it indicates literary talent and high status, and is a great fortune; if the year and month have Yin or Wu, it indicates reaching the rank of third class official. For a day born on Jisi paired with Bingyin time, it first experiences injury and then becomes prosperous: if born in the month of Yin, it forms the official star pattern, and literary talent and high status are achieved; if there is亥 or 子 water and moving through water destiny years, it indicates high status; if the branches are all Xu, it indicates holding a military position of third class; if the year and month have Shen and Hai and the four generation cycle of Yin, Shen, Si, and Hai is complete, it indicates great fortune, but may also result in an untimely death.

己未日丙寅時,生土厚地,方貴。水木年月,行東北運,貴。一雲多庶出過房,或父不見生。己酉日丙寅時,月通木火局,貴;木火運,亦榮達。己亥日丙寅時,春生官旺,貴;夏秋平;冬財旺,吉。寅申丑巳午辰戌年月貴。《神白經》云:“火木象貴。”己日丙寅時異常,少年未遇富文章;運行卯地生明月,平步青雲到帝鄉。己日丙寅時正,官星印綬長生。學堂三合喜光榮,博覽文章聰俊。年月無沖無破,定應金榜題名。運行官旺主亨通,上等高人之命。

On the day of Jiwei with the hour of Bingyin: those born in thick earth are wealthy in talent; if the year and month belong to water and wood and the destiny moves towards the northeast, then wealth and honor are attained; another interpretation suggests that such a birth often indicates being a second son or adopted, or the father having passed away before the person was born. On the day of Jiyou with the hour of Bingyin: if the month is in harmony with wood and fire, then wealth and honor are attained; if the big destiny moves towards wood and fire, then success is achieved. On the day of Jihai with the hour of Bingyin: if born in spring, the official star is strong, indicating wealth and honor; if born in summer or autumn, it is ordinary; if born in winter, the wealth star is strong, which is auspicious; if the year and month contain寅,申,丑,巳,午,辰,戌, then wealth and honor are attained. The "Shen Bai Jing" says that when fire and wood form a pattern, wealth and honor are indicated. The concluding verse says: the hour of Bingyin on the day of Ji is extraordinary; although the youth does not encounter opportunities, his writings are rich and abundant; when the big destiny reaches the卯, it is like a new moon rising, allowing him to ascend smoothly to the capital. The interpretation says: the hour of Bingyin on the day of Ji is most upright; the official star and the seal are in the place of growth; the school and the triple harmony meet, which is pleasing and honorable, indicating a person who reads widely and is intelligent and outstanding. If the year and month do not clash, he will certainly pass the imperial examination; when the big destiny reaches the place of official strength, it indicates smooth success, which is the fate of an outstanding person.

Sixth Ji Day, Dingmao Hour Division

六己日生時丁卯,支干暗鬼梟虛神;柱中有助方為福,無助難為顯達人。己日丁卯時,己以丁為印,乙為鬼,卯上明丁暗乙。若歲月中無救助倚托者,虛秀不實,有成有敗。月中見辛制伏身旺者,貴;運旺,亦吉。己丑日丁卯時,申子辰,武職。亥卯未,榮富。巳酉丑,行東北運,吉。己卯日丁卯時,巳酉年月,制伏得宜。庚申合煞,文進大貴。子月,刑煞遇貴,主兵權或法官。地支純印或三合木局,運行寅,混官再遇流年沖運,凶死。

The song says: On a day where the person is born with the earthy stem Ji (己) and the time is Dingmao (丁卯), there is an invisible seven evil spirit and aOwl Spirit (soul-stealing god) hidden between the heavenly stem and earthly branch, which are both empty and not real deities. If there is support in the pillar, then there will be fortune; if there is no support, it will be hard to become a prominent person. The interpretation says: On a day of Ji with time of Dingmao, Ji earth takes Ding fire as its official star and Yi wood as the "ghost" (seven evil spirit). In the卯 (Mao) branch, Ding is clearly visible, but Yi is hidden. If there is no saving or support in the stream year and the month, then there will be only a clear and refined appearance but no real substance, and the person will have both success and failure in their endeavors. If the month contains Xin metal to control the seven evil spirit and the day stem is strong, it will lead to wealth and honor. If the big year is strong, it is also favorable. For a day of Ji Chou (己丑) paired with a time of Dingmao, if the year and month contain Shen, Zi, or Chen, the person will hold a military position; if they contain Hai, Mao, or Wei, they will be honored and wealthy; if they contain Si, You, or Chou and travel in the Northeast, it will be favorable. For a day of Ji Mao (己卯) paired with a time of Dingmao, if the year and month contain Si or You, the control is appropriate; if there is Geng or Shen to bind the seven evil spirit, the person will achieve high status through literary talent; if born in the month of Zi, the evil spirit is controlled by a crime and the person meets a nobleman, it indicates holding military power or becoming a judge; if the earth branch is entirely made of official stars or forms a triple harmony of wood, and the big year reaches the branch of Yin, there will be a mix of official stars and evil spirits, and if the stream year conflicts with the big year, it will lead to misfortune and death.

己巳日丁卯時,無沖破,富貴;寅午辰年月,刑傷不利。亥月,木火運,貴。若春生透甲乙者,官煞太旺,有制化,亦貴;否則凶夭。乙未日丁卯時,不貴則富;卯戌亥丑年月,吉。己酉日丁卯時,九成十破,未年旺。年月通身生旺,干頭有辛癸制伏丁乙者,吉。己亥日丁卯時,秋生,偏官有制,富貴。春壽促。夏身旺,吉。冬平常。辰戌丑未月,貴。己日卯時福自摧,求名求利總不宜;身宮但有刑剋字,離鄉別井走東西。己日時逢丁卯,倒食偏官交加,酉庚辛破受波渣,思想不能通達。父母雁行難望,落花後立根芽。圓虧離祖可成家,發跡山林澗下。

On the day of Ji Si with the hour of Ding Mao: if there is no clash, it indicates wealth and honor; if the year or month contains Yin, Wu, or Chen, there will be injuries and it is not favorable; if born in the month of Hai and with a strong wood and fire fortune, it will be honorable; if born in spring and the heavenly stem reveals Jia or Yi, with strong official stars but restrained and transformed, it will be honorable, otherwise it will be dangerous and lead to an early death. On the day of Ji Wei with the hour of Ding Mao (the original text says 'Yi Wei', which is likely a mistake), it will not be honorable but will be wealthy; if the year or month contains Mao, Xu, Hai, or Chou, it is favorable. On the day of Ji You with the hour of Ding Mao, it is nine parts complete and one part broken, it becomes strong in the year of Wei; if the year and month connect to the day's strength, and the heavenly stem has Xin or Gui to control Ding Fire and Yi Wood, it is favorable. On the day of Ji Hai with the hour of Ding Mao: if born in autumn, with the official star restrained, it indicates wealth and honor; if born in spring, it leads to a short life; if born in summer, the day stem is strong, it is favorable; if born in winter, it is ordinary; if born in the months of Chen, Xu, Chou, or Wei, it is honorable. The concluding verse says: for the day of Ji with the hour of Mao, the fortune is naturally destroyed, seeking fame and profit is not suitable; if the palace contains words of conflict, one must leave home and travel east and west. The interpretation says: for the day of Ji with the hour of Ding Mao, the food thief and the official star appear together; if there is also You, Geng, or Xin to break them, one will suffer much fluctuation, with unclear thoughts. Parents and brothers are not reliable, one must wait until after the flowers fall to re-root and grow again; there is both fullness and deficiency, leaving the ancestral property to establish a family, and success comes from mountains, streams, and valleys.

Sixth Ji Day, Wuchen Hour Division

六己日生時戊辰,其身得位遇財神;田園富貴多誠信,甲乙提綱祿貴人。己日戊辰時,財庫專位。已以壬癸為財,辰上入墓,己土專位。為人誠信富貴。若通月氣或甲乙透出,是生月帶祿、大貴。辰月,身旺,不得父母力。見甲化土者,大富。冬夏,財旺生官、富貴。西運,平常。己丑日戊辰時,身孤。寅卯月,祿旺。辰月透甲,作化氣看,貴。午,富厚。寅酉,風憲。年月子丑透甲,行東南運,金紫,近侍;怕西北運,退職。

The rhyme says: On a day with the Jichou earthly branch, the day ruler is in its original position and meets the wealth god; the land is abundant, wealth and honor are attained, and the person is honest and trustworthy. If the month is Jia or Yi, then the禄 and the Nobleman come together. The interpretation says: On a Jichou day with the Wuchen time, it is called "the wealth repository position": Jichou earth takes Ren and Gui water as wealth, and water reaches Chen and enters its tomb, while Jichou earth is in its original position in Chen, so the person is honest and wealthy. If the month is in harmony or the heavenly stem appears Jia or Yi, then the birth month brings the禄 spirit, indicating great honor. The day ruler is strong in the birth month, but does not receive support from the parents. If the chart contains Jia and Jichou combining to form earth, it indicates great wealth. Those born in winter or summer have strong wealth that can generate official power, indicating wealth and honor. Those who go through the western direction in their big years are ordinary. On a Jichou day with the Wuchen time, the person is lonely: those born in寅 or卯 months have strong禄 energy; those born in the Chen month with Jia appearing in the heavenly stem, according to the combining and transforming energy, indicate honor; those with Wu indicate wealth; those with寅 or You can hold the position of imperial censor; if the year and month contain Zi or Chou and Jia appears in the heavenly stem, and then go through the southeast direction, they can reach the position of gold seal and purple ribbon, and be close to the emperor, but fear going through the northwest direction, which may lead to dismissal from office.

己卯日戊辰時,卯月,風憲。水木年月,行東北運,並同。己巳日戊辰時,身孤後發。春官貴;夏平穩;秋兇暴;冬財旺。歲運同。己未日戊辰時,丑月,雜氣財官,吉。寅辰巳亥午戌年月,文章貴顯。己酉日戊辰時,春官旺,夏平吉,秋暴狠,冬財旺。己亥日戊辰時,丑月,雜氣財官,貴。戌月,木水運,六、七品。寅午子辰年月,大貴。辰時己日不尋常,內有錢龍鎮庫藏;比劫不逢行運吉,定教富貴廣田莊。己日戊辰時遇,身逢旺庫豐盈。果然花謝再重榮,丑戌刑沖財盛。壬申財官雙美,妻重子晚方成。雙親雁侶事中平,獨立自成之命。

On the day of Ji Mao with the hour of Wu Chen: those born in the month of Mao can become censors; those with the year and month belonging to water and wood and moving towards the Northeast fortune have the same situation. On the day of Ji Si with the hour of Wu Chen: one starts alone but eventually becomes successful. Those born in spring have strong official stars and are prestigious, those born in summer are stable and fortunate, those born in autumn are fierce and cruel, and those born in winter have strong wealth stars; the same applies to the flow of years and fortune. On the day of Ji Wei with the hour of Wu Chen: those born in the month of Chou have mixed wealth and official positions, which is favorable; those with the year and month showing寅,辰,巳,亥,午,戌 will have prominent achievements. On the day of Ji You with the hour of Wu Chen: those born in spring have strong official stars, those born in summer are stable and fortunate, those born in autumn are fierce and cruel, and those born in winter have strong wealth stars. On the day of Ji Hai with the hour of Wu Chen: those born in the month of Chou have mixed wealth and official positions, indicating prestige; those born in the month of Xu with a fortune of wood and water will have a rank of sixth or seventh; those with the year and month showing寅,午,子,辰 will be highly prosperous. The concluding verse says: the hour of Chen paired with the day of Ji is not ordinary, as there is a 'money dragon' stored in the warehouse; as long as there is no encounter with a rival or theft and the fortune is favorable, wealth and extensive fields will certainly be achieved. The interpretation says: on the day of Ji with the hour of Wu Chen, the day's ruler meets a strong warehouse, indicating abundant wealth; indeed, after the flowers wither, they flourish again, and with thepunishment and clash of Chou and Xu, the wealth will be abundant. Seeing Ren and Shen indicates both wealth and official positions, but it means marrying twice and having a son in old age. Matters concerning parents and siblings are average, indicating an independent and self-reliant destiny.

Sixth Jisi Day and Jisi Hour Divination

六己日生時己巳,金神與火兩相和;不通月氣平常看,月氣如通榮甲科。己日己巳時,金火相合,己以丙為印,巳中有丙,健旺;己巳又為金神,坐於火位,相合。若通火月氣,四柱不見財星破印,不行財遇,發福非常。若不通月氣,或在冬生,虛秀不實。不通,得南運,亦吉。

The rhyme says: For a person born on a Jisi day with Jisi time, the metal god and fire harmonize with each other; if the month's stem does not connect with its branch, it is considered ordinary, but if the month's stem connects with its branch, he can achieve high official rank. The interpretation says: A person born on a Jisi day with Jisi time is a harmonious combination of metal and fire. Jisi earth takes Bing fire as its official star, and the fire in Jisi is strong and vigorous. Jisi itself is the "metal god," but it is seated on a fire position, which is a harmonious combination. If the month's stem connects with fire energy and the four pillars do not have wealth stars to destroy the official star, and the big destiny does not go to the wealth area, then the person will have great fortune. If the month's stem does not connect with fire energy, or if born in winter, then he only has a clear and refined appearance but lacks substance. Even if the month's stem does not connect with fire energy, if he can reach the southern fire destiny, it will be auspicious.

己丑日己巳時,辰月,西北運,貴。午未火旺,大貴。申子戌巳,亦吉。己卯日己巳時,夾辰財庫,主大富。又,卯以巳為驛馬,二己通看,謂之坐馬。再生午月,祿馬俱有,尤為貴命。亥月,財臨旺地,官遇長生。巳月,金神遇火,皆主大貴。己巳日己巳時,午年月,權威赫赫,名譽昭昭。春月,子孝妻賢。秋冬平常,貴而不顯。辰戌,財印官食;申,傷官生財,俱作吉推。

On a Jichou day with a Jisi hour: if born in the month of birth and moving towards the northwest, it indicates high status; if seeing Wu or Wei, which enhance fire, it indicates great wealth; if seeing Shen, Zi, Xu, or Si, it is also auspicious. On a Jimao day with a Jisi hour: Mao and Si are separated by Chen, which is a treasure warehouse, indicating great wealth; furthermore, Mao uses Si as the post-horse, and the two Ji earths combine to form 'sitting on the horse'; if born in the month of Wu, both official position and horse are complete, especially indicating a noble destiny; if born in the month of Hai, wealth is in its prime and official position meets growth; if born in the month of Si, the golden god meets fire: all these indicate great wealth. On a Jisi day with a Jisi hour: if the year or month contains Wu, it indicates great authority and fame; if born in spring, wife and children are virtuous and filial; if born in autumn or winter, it is ordinary, with high status but not prominent; if seeing Chen or Xu, wealth, official position, and food are all present; if seeing Shen, the injurious official generates wealth: all these are considered auspicious.

己未日己巳時,拱祿格。若無羊刃七煞,午字填實,不犯空亡,主顯貴。亥丑辰申年月,行東運,文武極品。此格不如丁巳、丁未,以丁正祿,巳寄祿故也。己酉日己巳時,夏生,金神入火鄉,貴顯,歲運同前。己亥日乙丑時,夏生,資財滿目,行樂軒昂。冬,平常,戌月、東南運,國師、金紫。寅月,亦貴。己日重逢己巳時,金神化旺要相宜。南離運步財官顯,寅卯東方遇亦苛。己日時逢己巳,夏生丙火金神。不遇戌亥與庚申,無破聲各回應。父母一衰一旺,刑空事業逡巡。要知顯達改名庭,火旺南方之運。

On a Jiwei day with a Jisi hour, it forms the "Arching Wealth Pattern" (the Si and Wei hours bracket the Wu hour, which is the central position of the wealth of the Wu hour). If there is no Yangren or Qisai, and no Wu character to fill the empty position, and it does not fall into Kongwang, it indicates a high official status. If the year and month contain Hai, Chou, Chen, or Shen and the person moves to the Eastern direction, they can attain high official positions in both civil and military fields. However, this pattern is not as good as the DingSi and DingWei days, because the Ding fire's true wealth is in Wu, while the Ji earth's wealth is only temporarily located in Si. On a Jiyou day with a Jisi hour: those born in summer have the metal spirit entering the fire land, indicating high status and prestige, and the year and big luck are the same as mentioned before. On a Jihai day with a Jisi hour (the original text says "Yichou hour", which is likely a mistake): those born in summer have abundant wealth and enjoy a luxurious life; those born in winter are ordinary; those born in Xu month and moving to the Southeast direction can become national advisors, reaching the rank of golden seal and purple ribbon; those born in Yin month are also of high status. The concluding verse says: On a Ji day meeting Jisi hour, the metal spirit becomes strong and needs suitable conditions; when the big luck moves to the Southern fire land, wealth and official positions become prominent; encountering寅 and卯, the Eastern wood, is considered harsh. The interpretation says: On a Ji day with a Jisi hour, those born in summer have Bing fire and the metal spirit together; as long as they do not meet Xu, Hai, and Geng, Shen, without being broken, their fame will be prominent. If the parents are one weak and one strong, encountering conflicts and emptiness will delay their career progress; to achieve success, they need to change their environment, and the key is to move to the Southern fire land where fire is strong.
