Analysis of the Guishui Hour on the Liujia Day
Original Text
六甲日生时癸酉，暗官明印未希奇；
柱中有火无刑破，元命胎生贵可知。
甲日癸酉时，胎生元命，甲木酉上受胎，为甲生气，明癸为印，暗辛为官，有巳土破印，不贵。酉为金神，若柱有寅戌，通火气者，德性纯厚而贵。无火见水，凶暴残疾。
甲子日癸酉时，春生木旺；酉月官纯，贵。若混之以煞，或煞多，柱中全无火气，凶。
甲寅日癸酉时，春生寿，夏反复。秋性不定，多凶。冬平常。丑未月贵。
甲辰日癸酉时，子戌年月，有财有官，贵。
甲午日癸酉时，主孤。生寅午戌月，行东北方郎官。
甲申日癸酉时，平常。通火气月，行南运，富贵。申酉年月，多夭。有水化金毒，只作官印论，不作金神亦吉，但主退早。
甲戌日癸酉时，子戌年月，文章显贵。子午月，不贵即富。
甲日交通癸酉时，金神火局两相宜；运行南地无刑破，富贵荣华事事奇。甲日时逢癸酉，为人富贵双全。三奇发福屡升迁，上下相和贵显。君子寒门将相，常人置立田园。无伤无破是英贤，此命定居台宪。
Interpretation
Those born on the sixth day of the sexagenary cycle at the You hour (5 - 7 p.m.). The hidden official and the obvious seal are nothing extraordinary.
If there is fire in the Pillars without punishment or damage, one can tell the nobility of the original fate and birth.
When a person is born in the Guishui Hour on a Jia Day, it is a birth in the fetus state according to the elemental destiny theory. The Jia Wood receives its fetal form at the You position, which is the source of vitality for Jia. The visible Gui represents the Seal element, and the hidden Xin represents the Official element. If there is the Si Earth in the Bazi chart to break the Seal, the person will not achieve high social status. The You position is associated with the Metal Deity. If there are Yin and Xu in the chart, which can connect with the Fire energy, the person will have pure and noble virtues and achieve a high - ranking status. If there is no Fire but only Water in the chart, the person will be violent and disabled.
On the day of Jiazǐ and at the hour of Guǐyǒu, if one is born in spring, the wood element is prosperous. If born in the month of You, the official element is pure, which indicates nobility. However, if it is mixed with the killing element, or there is an excessive amount of the killing element, and there is no fire element at all in the eight - character birth chart, it is inauspicious.
If a person is born at the Guiyou hour on the Jiayin day, those born in spring will have a long life; those born in summer will face many setbacks. Those born in autumn have an unstable personality and often encounter many misfortunes. Those born in winter have an ordinary life. Those born in the Chou or Wei months will have a noble status.
On the day of Jia Chen and at the hour of Gui You, if the year and month are Zi and Xu, one will have wealth and official positions and be noble.
If one is born at the Guiyou hour on the Jiawu day, it is said that they will be lonely. If born in the months of Yin, Wu, or Xu, and their fortune moves towards the northeast, they will become a high - ranking official.
On the day of Jiashen and at the hour of Guiyou, it is ordinary. If one is born in a month with the influence of fire qi and has a southern fortune in life, they will be wealthy and honorable. If born in the years or months of Shen or You, there is a high chance of an early death. If there is water to neutralize the toxicity of gold, it should be regarded as the combination of official and seal, and it is also auspicious even if not considered as the "Golden Deity", but it mainly indicates an early decline.
If a person is born at the Guishui You hour on the Jiaxu day, and the year and month are Zishui and Xutu, they will be distinguished and famous for their literary achievements. If born in the Zishui or Wuwu months, they will either be noble or wealthy.
When a person born on a day with the Heavenly Stem of Jia meets the time of Guiyou, the combination of metal energy and the fire situation is quite suitable. If their fortune moves towards the southern direction without any punishment or damage, they will enjoy wealth, honor, and everything will be extremely wonderful. For those born on a Jia day at the Guiyou hour, they will be both wealthy and noble. With the blessing of the three rare elements, they will be promoted repeatedly. There is harmony between the upper and lower levels, and they will achieve noble and prominent status. Gentlemen from humble backgrounds can become prime ministers or generals, and ordinary people can acquire fields and estates. Without any harm or damage, they are outstanding and worthy. This kind of fate is destined to hold high - ranking positions in the imperial court.
