Analysis of the Jichou Hour on the Six Bing Days
Original Text
六丙日生时己丑,官鬼相生禄不成;若见申庚并乙旺,不求财禄过平生。
丙日己丑时,伤官背禄,傲物志高。丙用癸为官,丑中有癸馀气,被明暗土伤,柱透癸为祸。若见庚辛,伤官生财,却为福庆。
丙子日己丑时,寅亥申辰年月,天乾透财印食者贵。
丙寅日己丑时,平常,生乙酉月,正财格,有乙庚健旺者贵。巳丑年月,乾透官印者贵。
丙辰日己丑时,申亥年月,化水则吉;不化寿促,戌月冲库,无人不发。寅午身旺,成火上格,大贵。
丙午日己丑时,春月,行火金运,官至极品。夏平,秋富,冬贵,难为妻子,午酉年月,五六品,此月禄生财之验。
丙申日巳丑时,血疾。申月,文学儒官成。卯贵。子辰会官,寅卯会印,俱吉。
丙戌日己丑时高,武刑后发旺。生亥卯月,火金运,大贵。辰未四库全,火土成局,大富。
丙日财官库里藏,戌辰未字显文章;身衰若也无匙钥,求名求利总平常。丙日时逢己丑,伤官财库暗藏。运交未戌不寻常。破出财官必旺。近贵谋夺劫财,算来虽有害。六亲真假少和谐,直断依时莫怪。
Interpretation
When a person is born on a day of the sixth Bing (in the sexagenary cycle) and the hour is Ji Chou, the official and the ghost (in the context of Chinese divination) interact and yet the fortune of official salary doesn't form. If the signs of Shen, Geng and the prosperity of Yi are seen, one can live a life without striving for wealth and official emoluments.
On the Bing day and at the Jichou hour, there is a situation where the Officer Star is against the Lucky Star, and one is proud and has lofty aspirations. For Bing, Gui serves as the Officer Star. There is a residual qi of Gui in Chou, but it is damaged by the hidden and obvious Earth elements. If Gui is revealed in the Bazi columns, it will bring misfortune. If Geng and Xin are seen, the Hurting Officer Star generates the Wealth Star, which will bring good fortune.
On the Bingzi day and Jichou hour, if the year and month are Yin, Hai, Shen, and Chen, and the Heavenly Stems reveal wealth, seal, and food, one will be noble.
On the day of Bingyin and at the hour of Jichou, the situation is ordinary. If one is born in the month of Yiyou, it forms the pattern of proper wealth. Those with the strong combination of Yi and Geng will be noble. If born in the year and month of Jichou, and with the official and seal appearing clearly in the Heavenly Stems, they will be noble.
At the time of Jichou on the day of Bingchen, in the years and months of Shen and Hai, if it transforms into water, it will be auspicious; if it doesn't transform, the lifespan will be short. In the month of Xu, it breaks the storage, and everyone will prosper. If the body is strong in the months of Yin and Wu, forming the upper pattern of fire, it will bring great nobility.
On the day of Bingwu and at the time of Jichou, in spring, if one experiences the fortune of the Fire and Metal elements, they can reach the highest - ranking official position. In summer, their situation is average; in autumn, they will be wealthy; in winter, they will be of noble status. However, it is difficult for them to have a harmonious relationship with their wife. If the year and month involve Wu and You, they can attain the fifth or sixth - grade official position. This is the verification of the monthly salary generating wealth.
On the Bing-Shen day and in the Yi-Chou hour, there will be blood-related diseases. In the Shen month, one can become a literary Confucian official. Having the symbol of Mao is auspicious. When Zi and Chen combine to form the symbol of officialdom, or when Yin and Mao combine to form the symbol of seal, all are auspicious.
On the day of Bingxu and at the time of Jichou, it is auspicious. After experiencing military-related hardships, there will be prosperity. If one is born in the months of Haixu or Maoyue and encounters the fortune of fire and metal, they will achieve great nobility. If the four Earthly Branches of Chen, Wei, Xu, and Chou are all present, and the elements of fire and earth form a favorable configuration, they will amass great wealth.
On Bing days, wealth and official positions are hidden in the treasury. When there are Xu, Chen, and Wei characters, literary talent will be revealed. If one's body energy is weak and there is no "key", seeking fame and fortune will always be just ordinary. When a person born on a Bing day meets Ji Chou at the hour, the hurting officer and the treasury of wealth are secretly hidden. When the fortune reaches Wei and Xu, it will be extraordinary. Once the wealth and official positions are broken out, one will surely be prosperous. Being close to the noble and scheming against the rob-wealth, although it seems harmful when calculated. There is little harmony among relatives, both real and false. Just make a direct judgment according to the time and don't blame.
