From the classics

淫欲妨害煞。《壶中子》云：老醉秦楼十二，直缘重犯八专；少亡楚甸八千，应是迭逢九丑。八专乃甲寅、乙卯、己未、丁未、庚申、辛酉、戊戌、癸丑是也。

——《三命通会》

What it means

Bazhuan (八专) is the spirit of day stem and branch sharing one qi, the stem and branch overlapping in a single element, overly concentrated. It governs lustful obstinacy: men and women often bring trouble through romance, with an unsmooth marriage and the peril of harming the spouse. If the four pillars are ill-matched, one easily falls into emotional entanglement hard to escape.
