Analysis of the Dingmao Hour on the Six Jia Days
Original Text
六甲日生时丁卯，伤官羊刃真当恼；
纵然月气有扶持，未免为人性不好。
甲日丁卯时，伤官羊刃，甲用辛为官，丁字伤之，用巳为财，卯中乙木劫之，主为人凶狠。若柱透辛，伤官见官，刑害百端，运气凶险，不得善终；柱有七煞合刃，行财官印绶，大贵。
甲子日丁卯时，克剥悭吝，作事进退，不免刑伤妻子，或死他乡。生辰戌丑未月，贵。卯月凶，柱有官煞制亦吉。
甲寅日丁卯时，年月木火相停，通明之象，贵。月令坐丑、未贵。乙亥月，文章冠世，官至三品，干支金水全，官印双显贵。
甲辰日丁卯时，财帛满目，生计盈馀，妻贤子孝，高命论之。春生太旺无制，贫贱残疾。丑、酉月贵。
甲午日丁卯时，身坐绝地，凶刑。若生秋冬，寿夭。春夏富贵。甲午月，大贵，运宜东北方。
甲申日丁卯时，主武职，风宪权贵。酉月，火木运，中贵。寅、午年月大贵。
甲戌日丁卯时，逢亥月，有才学，贵显。羊刃最坏，造化须有制合方吉；身弱无凶，若年月纯煞，甲木秋生，主夭折。
甲旬六日逢丁卯，重重叠叠怕冲刑；运行背禄无官贵，到老穷经不许名。甲日时临丁卯，伤官羊刃相随。甲逢丁火化为灰，父母兄弟难倚。祖业田财聚散，妻儿总有刑亏。运行官煞始为奇，性格或嗔或喜。
Interpretation
Those born on the sixth day of the six - Jia cycle at the Ding - Mao hour, the "Hurting Officer" and the "Yang Blade" are truly troublesome.
Even if the lunar energy offers support, one can't avoid having a bad personality.
If a person is born at the Dingmao hour on a Jia day, there is the combination of the Hurting Officer and the Yang Blade. For Jia, Xin serves as the Official. However, Ding harms Xin. Taking Si as the Wealth, the Yi Wood in Mao seizes it. This indicates that the person is fierce. If Xin appears in the heavenly stems, it means the Hurting Officer meets the Official, bringing all kinds of punishments and harms. The fortune will be dangerous, and the person will not end well. If there is the Seven Killings combining with the Yang Blade in the pillar, and the person experiences the fortune of Wealth, Official, Seal, they will achieve great nobility.
On the day of Jiazǐ and at the time of Dīngmǎo, one is stingy and indecisive in doing things, and will inevitably cause harm to one's wife and children, or die in a foreign land. If one is born in the months of Chéng, Xū, Chǒu or Wèi, one will be noble. Being born in the month of Mǎo is inauspicious, but it will also be auspicious if there are official and evil stars in the Bazi to be restricted.
On the day of Jia Yin and at the hour of Ding Mao, if there is a balance of Wood and Fire in the year and month, it presents a clear and bright image, indicating nobility. If the month pillar sits on Chou or Wei, it also indicates nobility. In the month of Yi Hai, one will be renowned for their literary talent and can reach the third - rank official position. If the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches have a complete combination of Metal and Water, there will be both official rank and seal, signifying double nobility.
On the day of Jia Chen and at the time of Ding Mao, one will have an abundance of wealth and surplus livelihood. The wife will be virtuous and the children filial. It is regarded as a high - fortune fate. If one is born in spring, with excessive prosperity and no restraint, one will be poor, humble, and may have disabilities. Those born in the months of Chou and You will be noble.
On the day of Jiawu and at the hour of Dingmao, one sits on the position of absolute decline, which brings inauspicious punishment. If one is born in autumn or winter, one's lifespan will be short. If born in spring or summer, one will be wealthy and honored. Being born in the month of Jiawu, one will be extremely noble, and the favorable fortune lies in the northeast direction.
On the day of Jiashen and at the time of Dingmao, it indicates a career in military service and a position of power and influence in the field of law enforcement and supervision. In the month of You, with the fortune of fire and wood, one can achieve a middle - level noble status. If the year and month are Yin or Wu, one will attain great nobility.
On the day of Jiaxu and at the hour of Dingmao, if one is born in the month of Hai, they will be talented and achieve high status. The Yangren is the most detrimental. Good fortune requires restraint and combination to be auspicious. If one's body is weak, there will be no misfortune. If the year and month are full of evil influences and the wood of Jia is born in autumn, it indicates an early death.
If the sixth day of the first ten - day period of a month is Dingmao for a person with Jia as the day stem, there are numerous taboos against clashes and punishments. When the fortune runs against the "lu" (a concept in Chinese fortune - telling) and there is no sign of official nobility, one will study the classics all one's life without gaining a good reputation. For a person born on a Jia day with Dingmao at the hour position, the "shangguan" (a negative element in fortune - telling) and the "yangren" (a fierce element) accompany. When Jia meets Ding fire, it's like being turned into ashes, and it's difficult to rely on parents and brothers. The ancestral property and wealth will come and go, and there will always be misfortunes in the family of wife and children. Only when the fortune runs into the "guan" and "sha" (elements in fortune - telling) will there be something remarkable. This person's personality may be either angry or happy.
