Analysis of the Jichou Hour on the Six Xin Days
Original Text
六辛日生时己丑，金土持争势不安；
年月财官相救助，免交贫困受饥寒。
辛日己丑时，金土相争。辛以己为倒食，丑上有明己暗辛。岁月无财官救助者，贫困；得财官运，亦吉。
辛丑日己丑时，孤浊滞生。申酉月，金旺，运行火乡，疏通，刑伤妻子；为僧道，贵。纯丑，西南运，大贵。
辛卯日己丑时，寅卯亥未等月，财星格，南方运，贵。辰戌丑未，印绶，南方运，吉。
辛已日己丑时，丑已申酉月生，金多克木，损伤妻子；僧道，贵。寅卯辰。月，南运，贵。
辛未日己丑时，寅卯未月，财星格。已午，官显。
辛酉日己丑时，破祖。已酉丑月，金多克木，俊俏有财，难为妻子。寅午月，近侍，贵。
辛亥日己丑时，寅已午月，官星明朗，立计成象。卯未，财局，富贵。未戌，冲，吉。申、子、辰月月，金水水亟秀，佳。酉建禄、行木火运、吉。纯亥，金水水亟秀，贵。
己丑时逢辛日险，财官埋没未为奇；六亲骨肉多刑害，年月冲开富贵推。辛日时临己丑，总由倒食淹留。就中金柜紧监收，午未戌开成就。甲丙卯寅发福，癸壬亥子漂流。少年谋望事难周，中未前程自有。
Interpretation
On the six days with Xin as the Heavenly Stem and at the time of Ji Chou, there is an unstable situation due to the contention between metal and earth.
If wealth, official position, and good fortune in the year and month support and assist each other, one can be spared from poverty and hunger.
On the Xin day and at the Jichou hour, there is a struggle between metal and earth. Xin takes Ji as reverse eating. At Chou, there is obvious Ji and hidden Xin. If there is no wealth or official luck in the years and months to offer assistance, one will be poor; if one gets the luck of wealth and official position, it is also auspicious.
On the Xin Chou day and Ji Chou hour, one's life is solitary, turbid and stagnant. In the months of Shen and You, when metal is prosperous, if one's fortune moves into the fire region, there will be dredging but also injury to one's wife and children; if one becomes a monk or Taoist priest, one will be noble. If there are only Chou characters in the Bazi, and one's fortune moves in the southwest direction, one will be extremely noble.
On the Xinmao day and Jichou hour, in the months of Yin, Mao, Hai, and Wei, it forms a pattern of wealth stars. With a southern fortune, one will achieve nobility. In the months of Chen, Xu, Chou, and Wei, it represents the pattern of seal and support. With a southern fortune, it brings good luck.
On the day of Xinyi and at the time of Jichou, if one is born in the months of Chou, Yi, Shen, or You, there is an abundance of metal which overcomes wood, leading to harm to one's wife. If one becomes a monk or Taoist priest, they will achieve nobility. If born in the months of Yin, Mao, or Chen and moves southward during their fortune - related period, they will also achieve nobility.
On the Xinwei day and Jichou hour, in the Yin, Mao, and Wei months, it belongs to the pattern of having a prosperous wealth star. In the Si and Wu months, one can achieve an obvious official position.
On the Xinyou day and Jichou hour, one will break away from the family inheritance. In the months of Yiyou, Jichou, and Guichou, with an abundance of metal elements that overcome wood, one will be handsome and wealthy, but will have difficulties with one's wife. In the months of Yin and Wuwu, one will serve as a close attendant and attain nobility.
On the day of Xin-hai and at the time of Ji-chou, if it is the months of Yin, Si, or Wu, the official star is clear, and one can formulate plans and achieve results. If it is the months of Mao or Wei, it forms a wealth situation, bringing wealth and honor. If it is the month of Wei and Xu, there is a clash, which is auspicious. In the months of Shen, Zi, or Chen, the combination of metal and water is extremely elegant, which is good. In the month of You when the prosperity is established, and when the luck of wood and fire comes, it is auspicious. If it is purely the month of Hai, the combination of metal and water is extremely elegant, bringing nobility.
On an Xin day at the Jichou hour, danger looms; Wealth and official positions are buried, no wonder it seems. Relatives and kinsfolk face much harm and strife; If the year and month break through, wealth and honor will arrive. When it's a Xin day and the hour is Jichou, It's all due to the obstructing influence that lingers. Like treasures locked tightly in a golden cabinet, It will come to fruition when Wu, Wei, or Xu appear. With Jia, Bing, Mao, or Yin, good fortune will shine; With Gui, Ren, Hai, or Zi, one will drift aimlessly. In youth, hopes and plans are hard to fulfill; But in middle - age and later, the future will be fine.
