Analysis of the Hour of Yihai on the Days of Liujia
Original Text
六甲日生时乙亥，羊刃反伤为祸害；
财官辛戊不相逢，只恐功名不亨泰。
甲日乙亥时，甲木亥上长生有旺，乙为刃，制克学堂，壬为倒食，亥上建禄。甲以金为官，戊己为财，辛金沐浴，戊己衰绝，不能作福。生巳酉丑月及见辛，柱有戊字，贵。馀虽聪明，功名不遂，艺术人也。
甲子日乙亥时，成趋乾格，贵。如生申月，煞旺合刃，权贵。酉月正官，柱稍得土助，大贵。辰巳丑未戌月俱吉。年月纯卯，刃旺则凶。
甲寅日乙亥时，辰戌丑未月，富。申酉月，贵，冬，平常。若寅亥月，高贵。
甲辰日乙亥时，酉月正官，最贵。辰戌丑未及寅亥年月，俱吉。
甲午日乙亥时，卯月羊刃，刑骨肉，身弱不得善终。春生，贵为宰辅。申子戌午年月，行水火运，官至六卿。
甲申日乙亥时，亥月，学问有成，贵为风宪。申酉月，先贫后富。子月，行水火运，金紫。辰戌丑未，杂气财官；寅月建禄，俱吉。
甲戌日乙亥时，春冬生，富，土厚地方显贵。夏，劳力不聚财。秋平常。
甲日时逢乙亥强，有官有印不寻常；时来自有高人荐，运至财乡大显扬。甲日时逢乙亥，就中壬水相生。时临帝座紫微宫，子嗣螟蛉得用。父母雁行少力，花开结子。
Interpretation
Those born on the six Jia days at the time of Yi Hai will have their Yang Ren (a certain astrological concept) turn against them and bring disasters.
If the celestial stems Xin and Wu of wealth and official positions do not meet, one may only fear that fame and success will not go smoothly.
On the day of Jia and at the hour of Yihai, the Wood of Jia has its birth and flourishes at Hai. Yi is like a blade, suppressing and constraining the so - called "school - hall" (a term in fortune - telling). Ren is the so - called "reverse - eating". At Hai, it has the "built - up salary" (a fortune - telling concept). Jia takes Metal as the official element and Earth (Wu and Ji) as the wealth element. Xin Metal is in the state of "bathing" (a fortune - telling state), and Earth (Wu and Ji) is in the state of decline and extinction, so it cannot bring good fortune. If one is born in the months of Si, You, or Chou or when Xin appears in the Bazi, and there is the character Wu in the pillar, it indicates nobility. For others, although they are intelligent, they cannot achieve success in official careers and are likely to be people engaged in arts.
On the day of Jiazǐ and at the hour of Yǐhài, it forms the pattern of approaching Qián, which indicates nobility. If one is born in the month of Shēn, with the powerful killing energy combining with the blade energy, they will have high social status and power. In the month of Yǒu, when it represents the proper official position, and if the earthly branches in the natal chart are slightly supported by the earth element, they will achieve great nobility. It is auspicious if one is born in the months of Chén, Sì, Chǒu, Wèi, or Xū. If the year and month columns are both Mao, with overly strong blade energy, it portends misfortune.
On the day of Jiayin and at the hour of Yihai, those born in the months of Chen, Xu, Chou, and Wei will be wealthy. Those born in the months of Shen and You will be noble. In winter, their fortunes are ordinary. If born in the months of Yin and Hai, they will be of high status.
On the day of Jiachen and at the hour of Yihai, if it is the You month, the person will hold a position of upright official, which is the most honorable. If the years and months are Chen, Xu, Chou, Wei, or Yin and Hai, all will bring good fortune.
On the day of Jiawu and at the hour of Yihai, if one is born in the Mao month, there will be conflicts within the family due to the Yangren (a certain astrological concept), and with a weak constitution, one may not end up well. If born in spring, one can be a high - ranking official like a grand councilor. If the birth year and month involve Shen, Zi, Xu, and Wu, and when one experiences the fortunes of water and fire, one can reach the position of a high - level official among the Six Ministries.
On the day of Jiashen and at the hour of Yihai, if one is born in the month of Hai, they will achieve success in learning and hold a noble position as an official in charge of supervision. If born in the months of Shen or You, they will be poor at first and then become wealthy. If born in the month of Zi and experience the fortunes of the Water and Fire elements, they will attain high - ranking official positions. If born in the months of Chen, Xu, Chou, or Wei, they will have mixed - qi wealth and official fortune; if born in the month of Yin with the establishment of the salary star, all will be auspicious.
If one is born in the Yihai hour on the Jiaxu day, those born in spring or winter will be wealthy and become prominent in places with rich soil. Those born in summer will work hard but fail to accumulate wealth. Those born in autumn will have an ordinary life.
When the day of Jia meets the hour of Yi - Hai, it shows great strength. Having both official positions and seals is truly extraordinary. When the right time comes, there will surely be noble people to recommend. When fortune arrives in the wealth - related aspect, one will achieve great fame. When the day of Jia meets the hour of Yi - Hai, actually, the water of Ren generates it. When the hour is at the imperial seat in the Purple Forbidden Enclosure, adopted sons can be useful. One's parents and siblings offer little support. The flowers bloom and bear fruits.
