Analysis of the Dingsi Hour on the Days of the Six Wus
Original Text
六戊日生时丁巳，印生日禄喜归时；财官不见刑冲破，早际风云会遇期。
戊日丁巳时，印绶遇禄，戊禄居巳，见丁为印，巳上丁火帝旺。年月支乾不宜见财官，见官损禄，见财损印。不见官煞，不行财官，行食伤印运，高贵。忌刑冲破害。
戊子日丁巳时，贵。子月正财，土厚地方，显达。亥丑年月，官居极品，内臣中，富贵双全。
戊寅日丁巳时，寅巳相刑，忧伤妻子。午月，东北运，风宪。寅午年月，四品。
戊辰日丁巳时，巳酉丑月，性格风流，威权重大。年月支乾不见财官，青云得路。亥戌，行南运，五六品贵。申，行北运，贵。
戊午日丁巳时，柱无甲乙卯寅，日禄归时格，又戊禄居时，丁禄居日，为互换禄，高贵；行伤食印运，吉；有甲乙寅卯未字，作官印取用亦贵。
戊申日丁巳时，春夏平，秋成败，冬富贵。行木金运，吉。
戊戌日丁巳时，无冲破，年月不见财官，不行财官运，贵。寅月，作偏官论，行未申运，贵。子月，透甲亦贵。亥卯未，虽见财官，俱吉，盖归禄格不忌官煞与财，以身旺得之，反为福也。
日干支禄喜归时，不见财官贵可期；无破禹门三级浪，伫看一跃上天池。戊日时临丁巳，禄元印绶相逢。早夺丹桂步蟾宫，合掌公卿权柄。食神伤官运吉。财官相遇无功，双亲雁侣不扶，同有破别寻格用。
Interpretation
When one is born on a day of the Six Wu (the fifth earthly branch) with the time being Ding Si, the seal (a concept in Chinese fortune - telling) gives birth to the day's good fortune and it's auspicious as it comes at the right time. If there are no signs of the wealth and official positions being damaged by conflicts and break - ups, one will encounter good opportunities and rise to prominence at an early stage.
On the Wu day and at the Dingsi hour, the seal - ribbon meets with good fortune (lu). Wu's good fortune (lu) is at Si. When seeing Ding, it becomes the seal. At Si, the Ding fire is at its peak. In the stems and branches of the year and month, it is not advisable to see wealth and official positions. If there is an official position, it will damage the good fortune (lu); if there is wealth, it will damage the seal. If there are no official positions or evil stars, and one does not encounter the luck of wealth or official positions, but instead experiences the luck of the eating - wounding and seal - ribbon, one will be noble and honored. It is taboo to have punishment, breaking, and harm.
On the Wuziday at the Dingshitime, it indicates nobility. In the Ziyue (the 11th lunar month), there is proper wealth. In places with a prosperous earthly element, one will be prominent and successful. If the birth occurs in the years and months of Haichou, one will hold the highest official positions. Among eunuchs, one will enjoy both wealth and honor.
On the Wuyin day and at the Dingsi hour, there is an inauspicious interaction between Yin and Si, which brings sorrow to one's wife. In the fifth lunar month and with the fortune in the northeast direction, one may hold a position in the supervision department. If the year and month have the signs of Yin and Wu, one may reach the fourth - rank official position.
On the Wuchen day and at the Dingsi hour, if one is born in the months when the Earthly Branches are Si, You, and Chou, they have a romantic personality and hold great power and authority. If neither wealth nor official positions are indicated by the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches of the year and month, they will have a smooth path to success. If the Earthly Branches are Hai and Xu and they travel southward in their fortune, they can attain the rank of a fifth - or sixth - grade official. If the Earthly Branch is Shen and they travel northward in their fortune, they will also achieve nobility.
On the day of Wuwu and at the hour of Dingsi, if there are no characters of Jiayi, Maoyin in the Bazi, it belongs to the pattern of "the Day's Lucky Star Returning to the Hour". Moreover, as the lucky star of Wu resides at the hour and that of Ding resides on the day, it is an exchange of lucky stars, indicating nobility. It is auspicious when one experiences the luck cycles of "Injury and Food" and "Seal". If there are characters of Jiayi, Yinyu and Weizi, it can be regarded as the pattern of "Official and Seal", also indicating nobility.
On the day of Wushen and at the time of Dingsi, one's fortune is average in spring and summer, with success followed by failure in autumn, and prosperous and wealthy in winter. If one experiences the fortune influenced by the elements of wood and metal, it is auspicious.
On the Wuxu day and at the Dingsi hour, if there is no breaking through, and there is no wealth or official star in the year and month columns, and one does not go through the fortune of wealth or official, one will be noble. In the Yin month, it is regarded as a case of partial official. When going through the Wei and Shen fortunes, one will be noble. In the Zi month, if the Jia is revealed, one will also be noble. In the Hai, Mao, and Wei combinations, even if there are wealth and official stars, all are auspicious. This is because in the pattern of returning to the prosperous Qi of the day master, there is no need to fear the official, the seven - kill, and the wealth. Since the day master is prosperous, getting them will instead bring good fortune.
When the Heavenly Stem and Earthly Branch of the day bring good fortune and gather at the hour, without the appearance of wealth and official positions, nobility can be expected. Without any obstacles, one can ride the waves at the Dragon Gate and is expected to leap into the Heavenly Pond in one bound. For those born on a Wu day at the Ding-Si hour, the fortune and the seal of official rank come together. They can early win laurels and enter the palace of the moon, and be in a position of power among the high - ranking officials. In the luck cycle of the God of Food and the Hurting Officer, it is auspicious. When wealth and official positions meet, there will be no achievements. Their parents and siblings will not offer support. If there are disruptions, they should seek other patterns.
