Analysis of the Bingzi Hour on the Six Geng Days

Original Text

六庚日生时丙子，身鬼俱衰退神强；

有托荣华无托贱，鬼逢生旺寿难长。

庚日丙子时，身鬼俱衰弱。庚以癸为伤，丙为鬼。子上庚死、丙火无气、癸水健旺。若身有倚托，吉；无倚托，又行身衰鬼旺运，飘风夭贱。通火气月，要行西运，贵。身弱不然。

庚子日丙子时，贵。年月再子，并冲，午中丁为官，己为印，人飞天禄马格；柱无财官填实，主贵；为僧道，一尘不染，万法皆成；为常人，有名有利，刑伤妻子。一说先贫后富。忌己巳月，破刑，贫。癸未月，孤单。巳亥月、刑。

庚寅日丙子时，春生，带财带煞，行金水运，金紫。夏，煞旺，大贵。秋，身旺，须行南运，贵。冬，身鬼俱弱，平常。纯午年月，位至公卿。壬子，食前煞后随；一阳生后，丙火有气，贵极人臣。忌癸酉月，破败，凶。辛亥月，血光。甲子月，夭。

庚辰日丙子时，月通木火气，行西运，妙。乙巳月，破败，刑。丁酉月，旺中刑，凶。己丑月，破败，凶。

庚午日丙子时，贵。时日相冲，忧伤妻子，运喜西南，通火木月气，风宪三四品。秋生，丙火无气，难为子息。忌己巳月，破祖，凶。己亥月，被劫盗，凶。癸丑月，孤。

庚申日丙子时，申月，生土厚地方，贵。辰未年月，行西运金，方吉。辛巳月，凶刑。辛亥月，孤夭。

庚戌日丙子时，春夏生。西南运；秋月、木火运，俱贵。忌乙巳月，凶、破。乙亥月，官灾多，凶刑。己丑月，破败，凶。戊戌月，恶死。

庚日相逢丙子时，伤官合局不为奇；双亲祖业难成就，燕寝鸾栖别立基。庚日时逢丙子，刑官背禄安身。双亲克陷早难辛，雁侣不能和顺。废学经商发福，田庄后懒先勤。家居财帛晚才成，先暗后明之命。

Interpretation

When one is born on the sixth Geng day at the Bingzi hour, both the body and the "ghost" (a certain concept in traditional fortune - telling) are in a state of decline while the declining energy is strong.

Those relying on glory and wealth but not on humble circumstances; ghosts encountering favorable conditions won't have a long lifespan.

On a Geng day at the Bingzi hour, both the self and the "ghost" (an element representing challenges or adversities in the context of Chinese metaphysics) are weak. For Geng, Gui is the "injury" element and Bing is the "ghost" element. At the Zi time, Geng is in a state of "death" (a concept in the theory of the five - element cycles), Bing fire has no vital energy, and Gui water is strong and prosperous. If the self has support, it is auspicious; if there is no support and one experiences a period when the self is weak and the "ghost" is strong, one will face a life full of hardships and an early and low - status end. If one is born in a month with the influence of fire energy and then experiences a west - bound fortune (west is associated with metal in the five - element theory), one will be noble. However, if the self is weak, this will not be the case.

If a person is born in the Bingzi time period of the Gengzi day, it is considered auspicious. If there are more Zi in the year and month columns, and there is a clash. In the Wu position, Ding represents the official star and Ji represents the seal. This forms the pattern of "People Flying to Heavenly Salary and Horse". If there are no wealth and official stars filling the columns, it indicates high status. If the person becomes a monk or a Taoist priest, they will be pure - minded and achieve success in all religious pursuits. If the person is an ordinary person, they will be well - known and wealthy, but may cause harm to their wife and children. Some say that such a person will be poor first and then rich. It is inauspicious to be born in the Jisi month, as there will be breakage and punishment, leading to poverty. In the Guiwei month, the person will be lonely. In the Sihai month, there will be punishment.

On the Gengyin day and Bingzi hour, if one is born in spring, they will have both wealth and inauspicious influences. When they experience the fortune of the Metal and Water elements, they will achieve high - ranking official positions. If born in summer, the inauspicious influence is strong, and they will attain great nobility. If born in autumn, with a strong personal element, they must experience the fortune of the South (associated with the Fire element) to be noble. If born in winter, both the personal element and the inauspicious element are weak, and they will have an ordinary life. If the year and month are both pure Wu, they will reach the position of high - ranking officials. For those born in the Renzi year, the inauspicious influence follows after the consumption; after the first yang qi is born, the Bing Fire has energy, and they will become extremely noble officials. It is inauspicious to be born in the Guiyou month, which will lead to ruin and misfortune. In the Xinhai month, there will be bloodshed. In the Jiazi month, they will die young.

On the Gengchen day and Bingzi hour, if the month is connected with the qi of wood and fire and one travels in the western fortune, it is excellent. In the Yisi month, there will be decline and punishment. In the Dingyou month, there will be punishment in the prosperous situation, which is inauspicious. In the Jichou month, there will be decline, which is also inauspicious.

On the Gengwu day and Bingzi hour, it indicates nobility. When the hour and day clash, it brings sorrow to the wife. The favorable fortune lies in the southwest direction. If one's fortune is connected to the qi of the fire and wood months, one can reach the third or fourth rank in the officialdom. Born in autumn, when the Bing fire lacks qi, it is difficult to have offspring. The Jisi month is inauspicious as it leads to the destruction of the ancestral heritage. The Jihai month is unlucky as one may be robbed. In the Guichou month, one will be lonely.

On the Bingzi hour of the Gengshen day, if one is born in the Shen month in a place with thick earth, they will be noble. If the birth year and month are Chen or Wei, and they experience the western fortune of metal, it will be auspicious. If born in the Xinsi month, there will be inauspicious punishments. If born in the Xinhai month, they will be lonely and die young.

On the Gengxu day and Bingzi hour, if one is born in spring or summer, the southwest fortune is favorable. For those born in autumn, with the fortune of wood and fire elements, they will all achieve nobility. It is inauspicious to be born in the Yisi month, which brings misfortune and destruction. In the Yihai month, there will be many official disasters and severe punishments. In the Jichou month, there will be decline and misfortune. In the Wuxu month, one may meet a terrible death.

When the Geng day meets the Bingzi hour, it's nothing strange for the pattern of the Hurting Officer to combine. It's hard to achieve success with the family heritage from parents and ancestors. One has to establish a new base away from the old nest. When a Geng - day person meets the Bingzi hour, there are conflicts with the official and loss of the salary, and one has to make a living on one's own. One's parents may pass away early, and it's difficult to get along well with siblings. If one gives up studying and engages in business, one can gain fortune. The farmland and estate start with laziness and then turn to diligence. The family wealth will be achieved late, and it's a life that starts in obscurity and then turns bright.
