Restraining Special Privileges

Original Text

此格六庚日见巳时，庚金长生之地，内有丙戊二禄，戊生庚，丙为庚煞，柱要壬癸制丙，当为武帅持权。若逢煞运，不吉。

诗曰：专禄庚来就巳位，也须制伏始为奇，武职当权为帅座，忽逢七煞祸来时。

Interpretation

In this astrological combination, when a person is born on a day with the Heavenly Stem of Geng (庚金) and the Hour Pillar is Si (巳时), Si is the place where Geng metal is in its state of "Longevity". Inside Si, there are the "Lucky Stars" of Bing (丙) and Wu (戊). Wu gives birth to Geng, while Bing is the "Killer Star" of Geng. In the Bazi (Eight Characters of Birth), it is necessary to have Ren (壬) and Gui (癸) to control Bing. Such a person is likely to be a military commander with power. However, if they encounter a "Killer Star" fortune period, it is not auspicious.

The poem goes: When the energy of Geng (Metal) in the context of exclusive prosperity arrives at the position of Si (Fire), it must be controlled to be truly remarkable. For those in military positions, they can hold high - ranking leadership. However, once they encounter the Seven Killings, misfortunes will come.
