Analysis of the Bingyin Hour on the Six Ji Days
Original Text
六己日生时丙寅，暗官明印旺其身；
月通木气无冲破，贵倚三台八位成。
己日丙寅时，官印生旺。己用甲为官，丙为印，寅上甲旺丙生。如果无破、通木局月气者，大贵。喜行木火，不宜金水，岁君同。
己丑日丙寅时，春官旺，夏印旺，秋既济，冬平。辰戌年月，文贵显达。纯丑，寿高。戌月，木火运，五、六品贵。
己卯日丙寅时，午辰年月，文章显达，大贵。寅午，官至三品。己巳日丙寅时，先刑后旺。寅月，正官格，文章显贵。亥子水，水运，贵。纯戌，武职三品。年月申亥四生局全，大贵，或不善终。
己未日丙寅时，生土厚地，方贵。水木年月，行东北运，贵。一云多庶出过房，或父不见生。
己酉日丙寅时，月通木火局，贵；木火运，亦荣达。
己亥日丙寅时，春生官旺，贵；夏秋平；冬财旺，吉。寅申丑巳午辰戌年月贵。︽神白经︾云：「火木象贵。」
己日丙寅时异常，少年未遇富文章；运行卯地生明月，平步青云到帝乡。己日丙寅时正，官星印绶长生。学堂三合喜光荣，博览文章聪俊。年月无冲无破，定应金榜题名。运行官旺主亨通，上等高人之命。
Interpretation
When those born on the six days with the Heavenly Stem "Ji" have the time of birth in the "Bingyin" period, there is an implicit official star and an explicit seal star, which enriches and strengthens their being.
If the moon is in harmony with the qi of wood and there are no clashes, one's nobility will be achieved with the support of the Three Excellencies and the Eight Positions.
If one is born in the Bingyin hour on a Ji day, the official and seal elements are prosperous. Ji takes Jia as the official and Bing as the seal. In the Yin position, Jia is prosperous and Bing is in the state of birth. If there are no disruptions and the qi of the wood - related earthly branches is in harmony with the month, it indicates great nobility. It is favorable to have the luck of wood and fire, and unfavorable to have the influence of metal and water. The same principle applies to the annual stem and branch.
On the day of Jichou and at the time of Bingyin, in spring, the official qi is prosperous; in summer, the seal qi is prosperous; in autumn, there is a state of balance; in winter, it is average. If the year and month are Chen or Xu, one will be prominent and successful in the literary field. If there are only Chou characters, one will have a long life. In the Xu month, with the wood - fire fortune, one can reach the fifth or sixth rank of nobility.
On the day of Jimao and at the time of Bingyin, if the year and month are Wuchen, one will be well - known for their literary achievements and enjoy great honor. If it is the combination of Yin and Wu, one can reach the third - rank official position. On the day of Jisi and at the time of Bingyin, one will experience setbacks first and then prosperity. In the month of Yin, with the pattern of the direct official, one will be distinguished for their literary attainments. If there is the influence of the water elements in the years and months of Haizi or during the water - related fortune, one will be honored. If it is all Xu in the year and month, one can hold a third - rank military position. If the four birth combinations of Shen and Hai in the year and month are complete, one will enjoy great honor, but may not end well.
If a person is born at the Bingyin hour on the Jihai day, they will be noble if they are born in an area with thick soil. If they are born in a year or month with the elements of water and wood and move towards the northeast during their life journey, they will also be noble. Another view is that such a person may have many illegitimate children, be adopted by others, or their father may not be alive when they are born.
On the day of Jiyou and at the time of Bingyin, if the moon is in harmony with the wood - fire combination, it indicates nobility. In the wood - fire fortune, one will also achieve glory and success.
On the Jihai day and Bingyin hour, if one is born in spring, the official luck is prosperous and it indicates nobility; if born in summer or autumn, the situation is ordinary; if born in winter, the wealth luck is prosperous and it is auspicious. Those born in the years or months corresponding to the signs of Yin, Shen, Chou, Si, Wu, Chen, and Xu will be noble. The "Shenbai Classic" says: "The combination of fire and wood symbols represents nobility."
It's quite unusual for a Ji day with a Bingyin hour. One may not achieve success in youth but is rich in knowledge and writing skills. When the fortune leads to the Mao position, it's like a bright moon rising. One can smoothly advance to a high - ranking position in the imperial court. For a Ji day with a Bingyin hour being proper, the official star and the seal are in their prosperous stages. It's glorious to have the combination of the schoolhouse and the three - harmony. One is intelligent and well - read. If there are no clashes or damages in the year and month pillars, one is surely to pass the imperial examinations. When the fortune reaches the prosperous stage of the official star, everything goes smoothly. It's the fate of a top - class outstanding person.
