Analysis of the Gengxu Hour on the Liuren Day
Original Text
六壬日生时庚戌，身临财库却为鬼；
明庚暗戌相刑克，财禄生平聚散多。
壬日庚戌时，枭临财库，壬以丙丁为财，库于戌，庚为倒食，戊偏官，若通火木月气，有倚托者，贵；不通，财帛聚散。
壬子日庚戌时，名利进退，庚辛年月，贵。辰丑，刑冲；酉月，破害，财库得用；巳午，财官旺，俱吉。
壬寅日庚戌时，刑妻克子。若春生，平，夏、冬，吉。辰丑未月，贵。
壬辰日庚戌时，夏月，不富则贵，春平，秋稳，冬辛勤劳苦，或为僧道，有财破刑。
壬午日庚戌时，禄马同乡，壬自坐禄，有庚辛制甲乙为贵。辰戌丑未年月，吉。申月学堂，文贵大显。亥子水旺，透壬主凶。午戌透戊，煞旺亦凶。
壬申日庚戌时，通火木月气，富贵；不通，行通运，亦好。丑戌年月，大贵。
壬戌日庚戌时，不利妻，主被妻妾害，反覆成败。纯戌，贵。寅丑，武职。申月，长生学堂，修文多贵。亥月，建禄，乾透财官；卯月，伤官，乾透财星，俱贵。未月，杂气财官，丑戌相刑。吉。
壬庚相逢戌时生，库有财官锁闭门；究竟无头多反覆，功名到底似浮云。壬日时逢庚戌，支干倒食难容。财官印绶库内封，无钥不能取用。丑酉辰逢作福，更逢丁己成名。但怕克害过刑冲，驳杂如常之命。
Interpretation
When a person is born on a day of the Six Ren and the hour is Gengxu, although they are in the presence of a treasury of wealth, it turns out to be an inauspicious omen.
When the Heavenly Stem "Geng" in the Ming (visible) and the Earthly Branch "Xu" in the An (hidden) are in conflict, one's wealth and fortune in life will often come and go.
On the Ren day and at the Gengxu hour, the Owl (an element in the Five - Element and Four - Pillars theory) is beside the Treasury of Wealth. Ren takes Bing and Ding as wealth, and their treasury is in Xu. Geng is the Reverse Eater, and Wu is the Partial Officer. If it is connected with the qi of the Fire and Wood months and has support, it indicates nobility. If not, wealth will come and go.
On the day of Renzi and at the hour of Gengxu, one's fame and fortune will fluctuate. In the years and months with Geng or Xin, one will achieve high status. In the years of Chen or Chou, there will be conflicts and clashes; in the month of You, there will be harm and damage, but the treasury of wealth can be utilized; in the years of Si or Wu, both wealth and official positions will be prosperous, and all will be auspicious.
On the Renyin day and Gengxu hour, one will bring misfortune to one's wife and children. If one is born in spring, the fortune will be average; if born in summer or winter, it will be auspicious. If born in the months of Chen, Chou, or Wei, one will achieve high status.
On the Ren Chen day and Geng Xu hour, if it is in summer, one will either be wealthy or noble; in spring, the situation will be ordinary; in autumn, it will be stable; in winter, one will work hard, or may become a monk or a Taoist priest, and there will be financial losses and punishments.
On the Renwu day and Gengxu hour, the prosperity of official rank and wealth are in the same place. Ren sits on its own prosperity. It is considered noble when Geng and Xin restrain Jia and Yi. If the year and month belong to Chen, Xu, Chou, or Wei, it is auspicious. In the Shen month, it is a time for learning, and one can achieve great distinction in literary pursuits. When the water of Hai and Zi is in the ascendant and Ren is revealed, it indicates misfortune. When Wu and Xu reveal Wu, and the inauspicious influence is strong, it is also a bad sign.
On the day of Ren Shen and at the hour of Geng Xu, if one is in the months with the qi of fire and wood, they will be wealthy and honored; if not, but then experiences a favorable fortune, it is also good. If one is born in the years and months of Chou and Xu, they will achieve great honor.
On the Gengxu hour of the Renxu day, it is unfavorable to one's wife. One is likely to be harmed by one's wife or concubines, and there will be repeated successes and failures. If the eight - character combination has only Xu, it indicates nobility. With Yin and Chou in the chart, one may hold a military position. In the Shen month, there is the condition of being in the state of longevity and having the "school" element, so those who pursue literary studies are often noble. In the Hai month, there is the "built - up salary" condition, and if the Heavenly Stems show wealth and official stars; in the Mao month, there is the "injuring officer" condition, and if the Heavenly Stems show the wealth star, both situations indicate nobility. In the Wei month, there is the "mixed - qi wealth and official" condition, and there is an "inter - punishment" between Chou and Xu, which is auspicious.
When Ren and Geng meet at the Xu hour of birth, there are wealth and official positions locked in the treasury. In the end, there is no clear direction and many setbacks; fame is like floating clouds in the end. For a person born on a Ren day at the Gengxu hour, the reversed eating (a certain astrological concept) in the heavenly stems and earthly branches is hard to tolerate. The wealth, official positions, and seals are sealed in the treasury, and they can't be accessed without a key. If there are Chou, You, and Chen in the birth chart, it brings good fortune. When there are also Ding and Ji, one can achieve fame. But one should be afraid of harm, punishment, and clashes; it's an ordinary and complicated life.
