Analysis of the Bingshen Hour on the Liuyi Day
Original Text
六乙日生时庚辰，水白金清化象真；
壬从辛酉通官贵，却防目疾减精神。
乙日庚辰时，妻贤子贵。乙合庚化金，若通申巳酉丑月，为人秀丽，主贵，却防目疾。如不见化，以壬为印，庚为官，辰土癸水合局，乙木有托，行东南运，贵显平和。
乙丑日庚辰时，破祖克父，身弱忌疾，通月气者，贵。子申年月，天乾透甲戊，合三奇，大贵。
乙卯日庚辰时，富贵。通火土年月，大贵。
乙巳日庚辰时，作事成败，僧道富贵带疾。常人刑克妻子。申子辰卯巳年月，贵。
乙未日庚辰时，亥卯身，身旺；巳申，官旺，天乾透煞印，皆贵。丑酉纯煞，柱有火制，亦吉。戌丑年月，四库全，大贵。
乙酉日庚辰时，亥子年月，乾透戊癸，贵。寅巳午月，官煞有制，吉。纯酉化金，主厚福。
乙亥日庚辰时，不贵则富。若年月癸戊一化，申卯两旺，巳丑酉会金，行木土运，位至金紫。
乙庚相会贵无疑，阴木阳金正合时；运吉身强无冲破，升迁自有贵人提。乙日庚辰时正，天官守库乾元，青年虎榜姓名传，禀性温良恭俭。士庶妻贤子贵。财人禄位升迁。南离戊癸火相连。富贵之中当险。
Interpretation
When a person is born on a day of the sixth combination of the Heavenly Stems (Yi) and the hour is Gengchen, the water is pure and the metal is clear, presenting a true image of transformation.
If the heavenly stem Ren corresponds with the earthly branch Xinyou, it may lead to access to high - ranking officials and noble status, yet one should beware of eye diseases that can reduce one's vitality.
If a person is born at the Gengchen hour on a Yi day, their wife will be virtuous and their children will be noble. Yi combines with Geng to transform into Metal. If the birth occurs during the months related to Shen, Si, You, or Chou, the person will be handsome or beautiful and of noble status, but they should beware of eye diseases. If the transformation does not occur, take Ren as the Seal, Geng as the Official, and since the Earth of Chen and the Water of Gui form a combination, Yimu has support. When they move through the luck periods in the southeast direction, they will achieve noble status and live in peace.
On the day of Yichou and at the time of Gengchen, one will break with one's ancestors and overcome one's father. With a weak constitution, one is prone to diseases. If one is in harmony with the qi of the month, one will be noble. In the years and months of Zishhen, if Jia and Wu are revealed in the Heavenly Stems and form the combination of the Three Auspicious Stars, one will be extremely noble.
If one was born at the Gengchen hour on the Yimao day, they will enjoy wealth and honor. If the year and month of their birth are related to the elements of fire and earth in the Chinese five - element theory, they will achieve great honor and prosperity.
On the day of Yisi and at the time of Gengchen, undertakings may end up in success or failure. For Buddhist monks and Taoist priests, they may achieve wealth and honor but suffer from illnesses. For ordinary people, they may bring misfortune to their wives and children. If one is born in the years or months of Shen, Zi, Chen, Mao, Si, they will be of high status.
On the day of Yǐwèi and at the hour of Gēngchén, if one is born in the years with the signs of Hài or Mǎo, the body energy is strong; if born in the years with the signs of Sì or Shēn, the official energy is strong. If the Heavenly Stems reveal the evil star and the seal star, all these indicate nobility. If the earthly branches are Chǒu and Yǒu, showing a pure evil star situation, and there is fire in the chart to control it, it is also auspicious. If the year and month columns are Xū and Chǒu, making a complete set of the Four Earthly Treasuries, it indicates great nobility.
On the day of Yiyou and at the time of Gengchen, if the year and month are Haizi, and Wu and Gui appear in the Heavenly Stems, it indicates nobility. If it is in the months of Yin, Si, or Wu, with the official and killing elements being controlled, it is auspicious. If it is purely You and transformed into metal, it means great fortune.
On the day of Yihai and at the hour of Gengchen, one will either be noble or wealthy. If in the year and month, Gui and Wu combine and transform, and both Shen and Mao are prosperous, and Si, Chou, and You form a metal combination, and one experiences the luck of the wood and earth phases, they will reach a high - ranking position with great honor.
When Yi and Geng meet, nobility is without doubt. Yin wood and Yang metal are in perfect harmony. When fortune is good and one's qi is strong without being broken or disrupted, there will surely be noble people to promote one's advancement. For those born in the Gengchen hour of Yi days, the celestial official guards the treasury and the primordial qi is stable. In youth, one's name will be spread on the list of successful candidates in the imperial examinations. One is naturally gentle, kind, respectful and thrifty. For commoners, their wives are virtuous and children are noble. Wealth, salary and position will be promoted. When in the south (associated with fire in the Five - Element theory) and there is a connection with Wu and Gui of the fire element, there will be risks amidst wealth and honor.
