Analysis of the Bingxu Hour on the Six Geng Days
Original Text
六庚日生时丙戌，金火持争事不详；
身旺月通印绶吉，不通无救祸难当。
庚日丙戌时，金火持争。庚以丙为鬼，丙火、戊土合局，金无气。若通身旺印，卯月有救助者，贵；反是平常或夭贱。运通亦吉。庚属大肠，若丙丁旺甚，主痔漏、脏毒、脓血之灾。
庚子日丙戌时，春，偏官用财，吉。夏，煞旺身衰，凶暴。秋，身煞俱旺。已酉丑月，西方运，腰金衣紫。寅亥子月，金绝病死，多贫贱。一云聋哑、犬狼伤。
庚寅日丙戌时，申子辰月，偏官有制，吉。秋生，身煞俱旺，有禄权。纯午，孤贫无倚，不然残疾。丑午行西南，公卿以上贵。纯寅，亦贵。
庚辰日丙戌时，时日相冲，忧伤妻子。月通金水气，贵。木火气重者，艰辛，贫夭或残疾。
庚午日丙戌时，申酉亥丑、富，贵三品。已午未申，透出壬字，艮坎乾方运，卿相有寿。
庚申日丙戌时，戌亥年月，东南运，贵。申月，大贵。
庚戌日丙戌时，辰戌丑未、印绶生助，吉。申子辰，偏官有制，贵。月通金气，不透壬字，行北运，贵。
戌时官库最为魁，丑戌相刑库自开；初主中年无显达，没年晚景称心怀。庚日时逢丙戌，偏官仓库埋藏。就中鬼贼不相当，身弱钱财虚荡。运旺身强发福，雁行骨肉参商。妻重子晚免刑伤，老景封侯拜相。
Interpretation
On the day of the sixth Geng with the hour of Bingxu, the contention between metal and fire bodes ill.
When one's physical condition is strong and the monthly qi is in harmony with the seal - energy, it is auspicious. If there is no such harmony and no remedy, disasters are hard to avoid.
At the Bingxu hour on a Geng day, there is a struggle between metal and fire. For Geng, Bing is regarded as an inauspicious element. Bing fire and Wu earth form a combined situation, and the metal loses its vital energy. If one's body is in a prosperous state and has the support of the favorable seal element, and there is assistance in the Mao month, then the person will be noble; otherwise, the person will be of ordinary status or even have an early and miserable life. If the fortune is smooth, it will also be auspicious. Geng is associated with the large intestine. If Bing and Ding are extremely prosperous, it may lead to disasters such as hemorrhoids, intestinal toxins, and bloody pus.
At the Bingxu hour on the Gengzi day, in spring, when the partial official is combined with wealth, it is auspicious. In summer, the killing qi is strong while the body is weak, which leads to violence and misfortune. In autumn, both the body and the killing qi are strong. In the months of Jiyou and Chou, and when in the Western direction's fortune, one will wear purple robes and hold gold belts (indicating high - ranking official positions). In the months of Yin, Hai, and Zi, metal is in the state of exhaustion, illness, and death, and most people will be poor and of low status. Another view says that one may be deaf, dumb, or injured by dogs and wolves.
On the Gengyin day and Bingxu hour, if it is the Shen, Zi, or Chen month, the partial official is under control, which is auspicious. If born in autumn, both the body and the killing qi are strong, and one will have emoluments and power. If the chart is purely with the Wu sign, one will be lonely, poor and without support; otherwise, one will be disabled. If there are Chou and Wu and one travels to the southwest, one will reach a position above a high - ranking official. If the chart is purely with the Yin sign, one will also be noble.
On the day of Gengchen and at the hour of Bingxu, there is a clash between the day and the hour, which may bring sorrow to one's wife. If the month is in harmony with the qi of metal and water, one will be noble. If the qi of wood and fire is dominant, one will face hardships, be poor and die young, or be disabled.
On the Gengwu day and Bingxu hour, if one is born in the periods corresponding to Shen, You, Hai, and Chou, they will be wealthy and reach the third rank of nobility. If born in the periods corresponding to Si, Wu, Wei, and Shen, and the character Ren is revealed, and they have good fortune in the directions of Gen, Kan, and Qian, they will become high - ranking officials and enjoy a long life.
On the Gengshen day and Bingxu hour, if the year and month are Xuhai, and one has a fortune in the southeast direction, they will be of noble status. In the Shen month, they will achieve great nobility.
On the Gengxu day and Bingxu hour, if there are Chen, Xu, Chou, and Wei in the chart and the Seal (yinshou) provides support, it is auspicious. If there are Shen, Zi, and Chen, and the Partially Official (pian guan) is restricted, it indicates nobility. If the month branch reveals the metal qi and the character Ren does not appear explicitly, and one walks the northern fortune, it also indicates nobility.
In the Xu hour, the official treasury is most prominent. When Chou and Xu are in conflict, the treasury naturally opens. At first, there will be no notable achievements in middle age, but in old age, one's wishes will be fulfilled. When a Geng day meets a Bing Xu hour, the partial official is hidden in the warehouse. Among them, the evil spirits are not in harmony. If one's body is weak, wealth will be illusory. When the luck is prosperous and the body is strong, blessings will come. There will be estrangement among siblings. A man will remarry and have children late to avoid punishment and harm. In old age, he will be ennobled and hold high - ranking positions.
