Analysis of the Xinmao Hour on the Days of the Six Bing Stems
Original Text
六丙日生时辛卯，旺木双妻为人巧；不旺化水死乡中，色欲随身多爱好。
丙日辛卯时，败财逢合，丙日卯上沐浴，见辛合神。若身甚旺不得化者，只是为人无礼而贪色欲，却好如身弱化水，卯上水死，秀而不实，为人惯巧虚诈。惟丙午、丙寅、春月生，身旺不化者，文贵显秀。
丙子日辛卯时，子卯相刑，伤妻害子。年月同，主魁名，近侍之贵。寅、午、丑、戌、天乾地支俱合者大贵。
丙寅日辛卯时，无祖自立，有肢体疾。寅卯未子月，贵。馀月平，岁运同。
丙辰日辛卯时，生寅戌月，天月二德，高。巳月，行北方运，贵。酉丑亦贵。亥卯未，大贵。
丙午日辛卯时，年月中得癸水官星去刃则吉。子月，伤克妻子，寅酉，性格刚强，不受击触，三四品贵。午戌，行东南运；卯月，行西北运，俱贵。
丙申日辛卯时滞，主聪明好酒色，身旺不化者贵。春吉。冬，行北运，富贵双全。巳丑年月，行东运，二品，午未三品。
丙戌日辛卯时，伤妻害子，身旺不化者贵。春，聪明好酒色。冬，行西运，富贵。夏风宪。
丙辛化水不相当，有助身强大吉昌；四柱若逢冲克破，劳心劳力过时光。丙日时逢辛卯，贪财坏印难成。财官运步显名声，身弱性情不定。父母六亲难靠，挺身改祖方成。雁行各自望前程，有破如常之命。
Interpretation
For those born on a day with the Heavenly Stem of Bing and the Earthly Branch of Yin in the sixth cycle, with prosperous wood, they will have two wives and be clever. If the wood is not prosperous and turns into water in the dead zone, they will be accompanied by lust and have many desires for physical pleasures.
On the Bing day and Xinmao hour, the wealth is lost but meets with a conjunction. On the Mao hour of the Bing day, it is the time of "bathing" in the five - element theory, and there is the Xin which is the conjunctive god. If one's body energy (personal fortune and strength in traditional Chinese fortune - telling) is very strong and fails to transform, such a person is just rude and greedy for lust. However, if one's body energy is weak and transforms into water, and water dies at the Mao position, it means that although the person seems talented, the talent doesn't lead to real achievements, and the person is used to being crafty and fraudulent. Only those born on the Bingwu or Bingyin days in the spring months, with strong body energy and no transformation, can achieve literary fame and show outstanding qualities.
On the Bingzi day and Xinmao hour, there is an inauspicious clash between Zi and Mao, which may bring harm to one's wife and children. If the year and month have the same configuration, it indicates that one will achieve a high - ranking in the imperial examinations and hold a noble position as a close attendant to the emperor. If the person is born in the years or months related to Yin, Wu, Chou, Xu, and there is a harmonious combination of the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches, it means extremely high nobility.
On the Bingyin day and Ximao hour, one can establish oneself without relying on ancestors but may suffer from limb diseases. Those born in the Yin, Mao, Wei, and Zi months will have noble status. In other months, the fortune is average, and the same applies to the annual and luck cycles.
On the Bingchen day and Xinmao hour, if one is born in the Yin or Xu month, with the Heavenly and Lunar Virtues, they will have a high - status life. If born in the Si month and travel in the northern direction in their fortune, they will be noble. Those born in the You or Chou months will also be noble. And for those born in the Hai, Mao, or Wei months, they will enjoy great nobility.
On the Bingwu day and Xinmao hour, if there is the Guishui official star in the year and month to remove the sharp edge, it will be auspicious. In the Ziyue month, it will harm and overcome one's wife and children. In the Yin and You years, one will have a strong character and not tolerate being offended, and can reach the third or fourth rank of nobility. In the Wu and Xu months, if one travels in the southeast direction; in the Maoyue month, if one travels in the northwest direction, both will lead to nobility.
Those born at the Xinmao hour on the Bingchen day may be hindered. They are generally intelligent and fond of good wine and women. Those with strong physical energy but without transformation can achieve nobility. It is auspicious if born in spring. If born in winter and move to the northern region for development, they can enjoy both wealth and honor. If born in the years and months of Sichou and move to the eastern region for development, they can reach the second - rank official position; if born in the years and months related to Wu and Wei, they can reach the third - rank official position.
On the Bingxu day and Ximao hour, one will harm his wife and children. Those with a strong physical constitution but without transformation will be noble. In spring, they are intelligent and fond of wine and women. In winter, if they move towards the west in terms of fortune, they will be wealthy and noble. In summer, they can hold high - ranking official positions related to supervision.
When Bing and Xin combine to form Water, it's not always favorable. With support and a strong self, great good fortune will come. If the four pillars encounter clashes, restraints, and breakings, one will toil and labor through time. When it's a Bing - day and the hour is Xin - Mao, greed for wealth ruins the seal and success is hard to achieve. When walking on the path of wealth and officialdom, one will gain fame. But with a weak self, the temperament is unstable. One can hardly rely on parents and relatives. Only by standing on one's own and changing the family's fortune can one succeed. Siblings each look forward to their own futures. It's a life with common setbacks.
