Analysis of the Gengshen Hour on the Days of the Six Wus
Original Text
六戊日生时庚申，乾上食神喜相亲；不见卯寅兼甲丙，何忧玉带不荣身。
戊日庚申时，戊以庚为食，壬癸为财，申上庚旺壬生，戊土有气，无丙火夺食破财，再无寅巳刑冲，生秋月大贵。如有丙火甲寅并巳，为人反复，亦有功名。年月乾止透甲三奇，地支会局，或止寅辰，皆贵。
戊子日庚申时，若生亥子月，亦是合禄，贵。
戊寅日庚申时，凶刑后发，如生寅月，作食禄制煞论，贵。
戊辰日庚申时，专食合禄，纯寅年月，二寅不怕一申冲，亦贵。
戊午日庚申时，未酉丑年月，柱无丙甲卯寅，入合禄格，行西北运，贵；有甲丙又合神藏煞没，四柱纯阳格，大贵。
戊申日庚申时，身禄同窠，富贵两全，子辰未酉年月，行西运，入合禄格，近上三品。年月丑戌，吉：辰戌伤克，平常。亥巳年月，行东北运，一二品贵。
戊戌日庚申时，灾疟内，子月，亦合禄格，文贵三品。卯辰年月，大贵。
戊日时临喜见庚，食神合禄主昌荣；旺中若见刑冲字，活计生涯只许平。戊日庚申时遇，支上生旺奇希。食神生神显光辉，上下流通旺气。丙字伤枝损叶，甲寅群雁行亏。若无冲破与刑克，积玉堆金之贵。
Interpretation
If one is born on a day of the sixth Wù (in the sexagenary cycle) with the time being Gēngshēn, the Gourmet God in the Qian position is a pleasant companion. If there are no signs of Mǎo, Yín, Jiǎ, and Bǐng, there's no need to worry about not achieving glory and wearing the jade belt.
On a Wu day and a Gengshen hour, Wu takes Geng as the eater and Ren and Gui as the wealth. On Shen, Geng is prosperous and Ren is born, and Wu Earth has qi. If there is no Bing Fire to seize the eater and break the wealth, and no conflict between Yin and Si, one will be extremely noble if born in the autumn months. If there are Bing Fire, Jia Yin and Si, the person will be fickle, but still have fame and achievements. If in the year and month columns, only Jia is revealed above the Heavenly Stems to form the Three Wonders, and the Earthly Branches form a combination, or only Yin and Chen are present, all indicate nobility.
On the day of Wuzhi and at the time of Gengshen, if one is born in the months of Haizi, it is also a combination of good fortune and wealth, and one will be noble.
On the day of Wuyin and at the time of Gengshen, misfortunes and punishments will occur later. If one is born in the Yin month, it can be regarded as the situation where the food - fortune restrains the killing qi, and such a person will be noble.
On the Wuchen day and Gengshen hour, there is a situation of solely having the "eating" element combined with the "salary" element. If the year and month are both in the pure Yin combination, even if there is one Shen element to clash with two Yin elements, it is still considered an indication of nobility.
On the day of Wuwu and at the hour of Gengshen, if the year and month columns are Weiyou and Chou, and there are no Bing, Jia, Mao, or Yin in the eight - character birth chart, it falls into the pattern of "Combined Salary". When one's fortune moves towards the northwest, one will be noble. If there are Jia and Bing, and the combining gods are hidden while the evil influences are eliminated, it forms the pattern of "Pure Yang in the Four Pillars", and one will be extremely noble.
On the Wushen day and Gengshen hour, the personal fortune and official salary are in the same place, bringing both wealth and honor. If the birth year and month are Zichen, Weiyou, when walking in the western fortune, it falls into the pattern of combined fortune and salary, and one can reach the third - highest rank close to the top. If the birth year and month are Chouxu, it is auspicious; if it is Chenxu which brings harm and conflict, it is just ordinary. If the birth year and month are Haisi, when walking in the northeastern fortune, one can reach the first or second - highest rank of nobility.
On the Wuxu day and Gengshen hour, there will be internal disasters and malaria. In the Ziyue month, it also conforms to the pattern of combined good fortune, and one can achieve a third - rank position in literary and official career. If the birth is in the years or months of Maochen, one will achieve great nobility.
When the day is Wu and the hour is Shen, it's pleasing to see Geng. When the Gourmet God combines with the Salary, it indicates prosperity. If there are characters of punishment and conflict in the prosperous situation, the livelihood will only be mediocre. When the day is Wu and the hour is Geng - Shen, if the branches are prosperous, it's extremely rare. The Gourmet God and the productive energy shine brightly, with the prosperous qi circulating from top to bottom. The character Bing will damage the branches and leaves, and Jia - Yin will cause losses among siblings. If there are no break - throughs, punishments or conflicts, one will be as wealthy as having heaps of jade and gold.
