Analysis of the Yi Mao Hour on the Six Gui Days
Original Text
六癸日生乙卯时，长生之地遇食神；
众无午酉兼辛巳，福寿双全禄位人。
癸日乙卯时，食神乾旺。癸以乙为学堂食神，卯上癸水长生，乙坐禄，柱中无己破辛夺，午酉刑冲，通月气，有倚托，主聪明有寿，居官食禄；若有己土，不贵。春月生，北运，显达。
癸丑日乙卯时，辰丑月，高贵。一云：少贱中年贵。
癸卯日乙卯时，艰难。生寅卯月，伤官格，难言富贵。未戌年月，技艺近贵。辰丑，吉。己丑、丙子，凶。
癸巳日乙卯时，财官双美，春伤官，夏财旺，秋印稳，冬平常。如丑午子亥年月，官至三四品。乙亥、乙酉，残疾。
癸未日乙卯时，寅亥卯未月，伤官伤尽，刚断平常。辰戌申子月，贵。
癸酉日乙卯时，申子辰月，贵。寅午戌，中。亥卯未，平。巳酉丑，富。
癸亥日乙卯时，辰己月，风宪。
乙癸相逢旺食支，天工造物本无私；运行自有高人荐，手攀丹桂上云逵。癸日时逢乙卯，贵人食禄之乡，玉堂乙卯位侯王，便是金门将相。君子文章播发，常人财禄盈箱，甲寅辛酉颇安常，富贵荣华大享。
Interpretation
For those born on the day of the sixth Gui and at the time of Yi Mao, they encounter the God of Cookery in the place of birth and growth.
Those born without the combination of Wu, You, Xin, and Si in their birth time are people blessed with both longevity and happiness, as well as high positions and abundant wealth.
On a Gui day and at the Yimao hour, the Gourmet God is strong and prosperous. Gui takes Yi as the Academy Gourmet God. At Mao, Gui water is in its state of birth, and Yi sits on its own prosperous position. If there is no Ji to break it or Xin to seize it in the Pillar, and no punishment or conflict between Wu and You, and it is in harmony with the Qi of the month and has support, it indicates that the person is intelligent and long - lived, and will hold an official position and enjoy official emoluments. If there is Ji earth, the person will not be noble. If born in spring and moving northward in the luck cycle, the person will be prominent and successful.
On the day of Guichou and at the time of Yimao, if it is the Chen or Chou month, one will be of high status. Another view is that one will be of low status in youth and achieve high status in middle age.
If one is born at the Yimao hour on the Guimao day, life will be difficult. If born in the Yin or Mao months, with an "off - official" pattern, it's hard to say that they will enjoy wealth and honor. If born in the months corresponding to Wei or Xu, they can gain some status through skills. If born in the months corresponding to Chen or Chou, it's auspicious. If the year and month are Jichou or Bingzi, it's inauspicious.
On the day of Guisi and at the hour of Yimao, there is a good combination of wealth and official status. In spring, there is damage to the official element; in summer, wealth is prosperous; in autumn, the seal element is stable; in winter, it is just ordinary. If the year and month include Chou, Wu, Zi, or Hai, one can reach the third or fourth rank in officialdom. For those born in the years of Yihai or Yiyou, they may have disabilities.
On the day of Guiwei and at the time of Yimao, if it is in the months of Yin, Hai, Mao, or Wei, the Hurting Officer is completely exhausted, and the person's character is ordinary and straightforward. If it is in the months of Chen, Xu, Shen, or Zi, the person will be noble.
On the day of Guishui and at the time of Yimao, in the months of Shen, Zi, and Chen, it indicates nobility. In the months of Yin, Wu, and Xu, it is of medium fortune. In the months of Hai, Mao, and Wei, it is of average fortune. In the months of Si, You, and Chou, it indicates wealth.
On the day of Guihai and at the time of Yimao, in the months of Chen and Ji, one would hold a position in the disciplinary inspection department.
When Yi and Gui meet and the food branch thrives, nature creates without bias. As one's fortune unfolds, there will surely be noble people to recommend. One will pluck the sweet - scented osmanthus and ascend to the high ranks. When it's a Gui - day and the hour is Yi - Mao, it's a place for the noble and those with good fortune. In the grand court, an Yi - Mao position can lead to marquis and king status, and one can become a general or prime minister. For the gentleman, his articles will spread far and wide. For the commoner, wealth will fill the boxes. With Jia - Yin and Xin - You, things go quite smoothly, and one can enjoy great wealth and honor.
