Analysis of the Jichou Hour on the Liugeng Days
Original Text
六庚日生时己卯，胎生元命发因妻；
柱中有托逢庚旺，财禄丰盈福寿齐。
庚日己卯时，胎生元命。庚金卯上受胎，见巳为生气印绶。庚以乙为财，卯有旺乙，因妻发福。若柱旺丁，生月带禄者，贵；有倚托者，富。通生气财旺者，生财旺运者，俱贵。
庚子日己卯时，子卯相刑，忧伤妻子，子年月，贵。丑未，官至三品。一云破祖失土，大贵。
庚寅日己卯时，亥卯月，财星格，早荣早退。午戌，三合官局，乾透金水，行西北运，吉。
庚辰日己卯时，孤。年月通木气及有倚托者，贵。
庚午日己卯时，刑破。申子辰己酉丑，俱行东南运，贵。寅午戌亥卯未，须得西北运为佳。
庚申日己卯时，卯月，财星格，不贵即富。丑巳年月，翰林清贵，官至亚卿。一云少贫，中年有小灾，克妻少子。
庚戌日己卯时，少孤母贱，中年贵。卯酉辰丑月，官至公卿。
天元庚己卯时连，禄见文书富贵全；四柱无刑冲克破，贵人接引上青天。庚日时逢己卯，财官运气亨通。若无刑冲定褒封，有破中年不顺。雁行六亲难靠，自成家计无穷。时来发达显功名，自有高人引用。
Interpretation
Those born on the day of the sixth Geng with the time of Ji Mao have their fate in the embryonic stage, and their fortune starts because of their wives.
If there is support in the pillar and meets the prosperous Geng, there will be abundant wealth and good fortune, along with both longevity and happiness.
On the Geng day and the Jichou hour, one is born with this natal destiny. Geng metal is in the state of being conceived at Mao. When it meets Si, it forms the Auspicious Qi and the Seal. Geng takes Yi as wealth, and at Mao, Yi is prosperous, so one can gain fortune through one's wife. If there is strong Ding in the pillar and one is born in a month with the Lu (auspicious star), one will be noble; if there is support, one will be wealthy. Those with prosperous Auspicious Qi and wealth, or those who are in a prosperous wealth - transporting period, will all be noble.
On the day of Gengzi and at the hour of Jimao, there is an inauspicious clash between Zi and Mao, which brings sorrow to one's wife. If the year and month are related to Zi, one will be noble. If the year is related to Chou or Wei, one will reach the third - rank official position. Another view holds that one will lose ancestral properties and land but will achieve great nobility.
On the day of Gengyin and at the time of Jimao, if it is the month of Hai or Mao, it belongs to the pattern of wealth stars. One will achieve early success and retire early. If it is the month of Wu or Xu, it forms a tri - combination official bureau. If the Heavenly Stems show Metal and Water, and one walks the fortune in the northwest direction, it is auspicious.
On the day of Gengchen and at the time of Jimao, one may face solitude. If the year and month columns have an affinity with the Wood element and there are supporting elements, one will achieve nobility.
On the day of Gengwu and at the time of Jimao, there will be conflicts and disruptions. For those born in the years of Shen, Zi, Chen, Ji, You, and Chou, if they have fortune in the southeast direction, they will be of high status. For those born in the years of Yin, Wu, Xu, Hai, Mao, and Wei, it is better to have fortune in the northwest direction.
On the day of Gengshen and at the time of Jimao, if it is the Mao month, it belongs to the pattern of wealth stars. People in this situation will either be noble or wealthy. If the year and month are Chou and Si, they will be noble and elegant as academicians in the Hanlin Academy and can reach the position of a high - ranking official just below the prime minister. Another view is that they will be poor in their youth, encounter minor disasters in middle age, have problems with their wives, and have few children.
On the day of Gengxu and at the time of Jimao, one will lose their father at a young age and have a mother of low status, but will become noble in middle age. If one is born in the months of Maoyou, Chenchou, they will rise to the position of high - ranking officials.
In the Heavenly Yuan, when Geng meets Ji Mao at the hour, the good fortune of official salary and literary achievements will bring full prosperity. If there are no conflicts, clashes, or damages in the four pillars, the noble will lead one to the blue sky. When it's a Geng day and the hour is Ji Mao, the luck of wealth and official position is smooth. Without any conflicts or damages, there will surely be honors. But if there are damages, there will be setbacks in middle age. One can hardly rely on relatives and siblings, but will build an endless family fortune on one's own. When the time comes for success and fame to be revealed, there will surely be noble people to guide.
