Analysis of the Xinyou Hour on the Liugui Days
Original Text
六癸日生时辛酉，自身失地更何有；
支中明暗被辛伤，无助利名终不就。
癸日辛酉时，明暗枭神。癸见辛为倒食，酉上辛建旺，癸失地，若无倚托救助者，遇贵生涯；有倚托则吉。
癸丑日辛酉时，秋月，印绶格，行官煞运，吉。冬，福禄双全。子寅年月，干头无戊己字，贵。
癸卯日辛酉时，日贵格，辰戌丑未月，贵。子卯年月，大贵。巳午，亦贵。又云不利妻子。
癸巳日辛酉时，孤。寅卯年，辰戌丑未月，贵。子午卯酉，中贵。寅申巳亥，最贵。
癸未日辛酉时，春贫，夏先难后易，秋吉，冬贵。
癸酉日辛酉时，申酉月，印绶多，能守祖，破妻家。子巳午月，乾透庚辛，禄贵印绶俱全，贵不可言。寅戌，腰金。午亥，大贵。丑月，煞重凶夭。
癸亥日辛酉时，戌月，行东南运，金紫；东北，风宪。子月建禄，年遇财官，大贵。
天元是癸时申酉，用尽心机度日忙；官印相生逢印合，胸中便富且如常。癸日辛酉时遇，倒食偏印难禁，柱中无依且安贫，财官月遇亦称。只怕癸水失地，不能驱驾奚胜，六亲骨肉各西东，一生劳苦之命。
Interpretation
On the day when the heavenly stem is the sixth Gui and the earthly branch is Xinyou, one's self is in a disadvantaged position and what else can one have?
If the Yin and Yang in the earthly branches are damaged by Xin, without assistance, fame and fortune will never be achieved.
On the day of Gui and at the hour of Xinyou, there are both obvious and hidden Owl Gods. When Gui meets Xin, it is called "inverted food". On You, Xin is in a prosperous state, while Gui loses its proper position. If there is no support or assistance, one will have a successful career when encountering noble people; if there is support, it is auspicious.
On the Gui Chou day and Xin You hour, in the autumn months, it belongs to the pattern of Yin Shou. If one experiences the luck of official and killing qi, it is auspicious. In winter, one will have both fortune and blessings. If the year and month are Zi or Yin, and there are no Wu or Ji characters at the heavenly stems, one will be noble.
On the day of Guimao and at the time of Xinyou, it is the pattern of "Noble Day". In the months of Chen, Xu, Chou, and Wei, one will be noble. In the years and months of Zi and Mao, one will be extremely noble. In the years and months of Si and Wu, one will also be noble. It is also said that it is unfavorable to one's wife and children.
On the day of Guisi and at the hour of Xinyou, it is an isolated situation. In the years of Yin and Mao, and in the months of Chen, Xu, Chou, and Wei, one will be noble. In the years of Zi, Wu, Mao, and You, one will achieve a middle - level nobility. In the years of Yin, Shen, Si, and Hai, one will attain the highest level of nobility.
On the Guiwei day and Xinyou hour, one will be poor in spring, face difficulties first but then have an easier time in summer, have good fortune in autumn, and achieve nobility in winter.
On the Guiyou day and Xinyou hour, if it is the Shen or You month, there is an abundance of Seal (yinshou in Chinese fortune - telling), one can inherit the family property but will break the fortune of the wife's family. In the Zi, Si, or Wu months, if Geng and Xin appear on the Heavenly Stems, with both High Rank (lu), Noble Status, and Seal all present, the person will have extremely high - status and wealth beyond description. In the Yin or Xu months, the person will be wealthy and hold an official position. In the Wu or Hai months, the person will have great nobility. In the Chou month, with a heavy influence of Killing (sha), there will be misfortune and an early death.
On the Xinyou hour of the Guihai day, if it is the Xu month and one's fortune moves towards the southeast, one will attain high - ranking official positions with purple robes; if towards the northeast, one will hold a position of judicial supervision. In the Zi month, it is a time of prosperous qi. If one meets with wealth and official luck in the year, one will achieve great nobility.
At the Tianyuan, it's the Gui hour between Shen and You. One spends days busily scheming. When the official and seal elements interact and the seal is combined, one's mind is rich as usual. For those born on a Gui day at the Xinyou hour, the reversed food and partial seal are hard to handle. If there is no support in the Bazi, one should content with poverty. If the wealth and official elements appear in the month, it's also acceptable. One should only fear that the Gui water loses its favorable position and is unable to take control. Relatives will go their separate ways, and it's a life full of toil.
