Analysis of the Guiyou Hour on the Six Ji Days
Original Text
六己日生时癸酉，沐浴之乡水土浑；
财食支藏多聚散，身衰失地寿难存。
己日癸酉时，水土浑浊。己以癸为财，辛为食。酉上癸病，辛旺，比肩夺财，财多聚散；更身衰失地，主成败反复；不然，寿促。若通身旺月或运，吉。
己丑日癸亥时，春平；夏稳；秋伤官伤尽，有威权；冬富。如丙寅巳月，金神遇火，贵。丑月，金水运，郎官。透乙，大贵。
己卯日癸酉时，时日相逢卯酉，主迁移；刑伤又伤官带煞，主性凶暴，作事迟延。生四季月，吉。
己巳日癸酉时，巳酉丑月，伤官伤尽，居武职、风宪。卯戌月，金神入火乡，贵而能言，伤贵，收心早退，以水土败在酉故也。
己未日癸酉时，戌亥丑辰年月，西方运，贵。子巳大贵。卯、辰，近侍不大。
己酉日癸酉时，偏财遇食，主峥嵘。丑未子午俱吉。酉月、内戚。如年月己酉全，犯破碎煞，主一生破败，游走无结果。
己亥日癸酉时，通土气月，行木火运，贵。己逢癸水酉时生，食神生旺自从容；身弱更兼冲克破，此命依算只中平。
己日时逢癸酉，偏财喜遇食神。雁行无倚靠双亲，性格情怀不定。财来财去聚散，眼前广见难存。花开花谢再重新，此命先逆后顺。
Interpretation
When those born on the six days with the Heavenly Stem "Ji" have the Hour Pillar of "Gui You", they are in the state of "Bathing", where the water and earth are in a muddled state.
Wealth and provisions stored in the branches often come and go. When one's vitality is weak and the favorable position is lost, it's hard to preserve one's lifespan.
When the day is Ji and the hour is Guiyou, the water and earth are in a muddled state. Ji takes Gui as wealth and Xin as food. At You, Gui is in a state of illness while Xin is prosperous. The peer - stars seize the wealth, so the wealth gathers and scatters. Moreover, if the body (personal energy in the context of fortune - telling) is weak and loses its favorable position, it indicates repeated success and failure; otherwise, it means a short lifespan. If it is connected to a month or a period when the body is strong, it is auspicious.
On the day of Jichou and at the hour of Guihai, the situation is peaceful in spring; stable in summer; in autumn, the adverse influence of the "offending official" is completely removed, and one has power and authority; in winter, one will be wealthy. If one is born in the month of Bingyin or Bingsi, when the "golden spirit" meets fire, one will be noble. If born in the month of Chou and experiences the fortune of metal and water, one can become an official. If the element of Yi is revealed, one will be extremely noble.
On the day of Jǐmǎo and at the hour of Guǐyǒu, the encounter of the time and the day in the positions of Mǎo and Yǒu indicates relocation. With the penalty and injury, and the combination of the negative influence of the "Hurting Officer" and the "Evil Star", it suggests a fierce and violent nature and procrastination in doing things. Those born in the four seasons' months will have good fortune.
On the Jisi day and Yougui hour, in the months of Siyou and Chou, the Hurting Officer is completely exhausted. Those born at this time will hold military positions or serve as inspectors. In the months of Maoxu, the Metal God enters the Fire Region. They will be noble and eloquent, but the Hurting Officer may affect their nobility. They should calm their hearts and retire early, because the Earth and Water are in decline in the You position.
On the day of Jǐwèi and at the hour of Guǐyǒu, if the year and month fall into the periods related to Xū, Hài, Chǒu, and Chén, and with a fortune in the Western direction, one will be of noble status. Those born in the years or months related to Zǐ and Sì will achieve great nobility. For those born in the years or months related to Mǎo and Chén, they may serve as close attendants but not reach a very high position.
On the day of Ji You and at the hour of Gui You, when the partial wealth meets the eating god, it indicates a prosperous future. It is auspicious when the year or month is Chou, Wei, Zi, or Wu. In the month of You, there may be good relations with in - laws. If the year and month both have Ji You and the broken - star evil is present, it means a life of decline and aimless wandering with no good results.
On the day of Jihai and at the hour of Guishui, if the month has an affinity with the Earth element and one experiences the fortune of the Wood and Fire elements, it indicates nobility. When Ji meets Guishui at the You hour, the "Eating God" is prosperous, and one can be at ease. If the body (life force) is weak and there are clashes and breaks, this life can only be considered mediocre according to the calculation.
When one's birth date is a Ji day and birth hour is Guiyou, it's fortunate that the partial wealth meets the gourmet god. There is no support from siblings and parents. One's personality and feelings are changeable. Wealth comes and goes, hard to gather and retain. One has seen a lot of money but can hardly save it. Just like flowers bloom and wither then bloom again, this person's life will first be full of setbacks and then turn prosperous.
