Right and Wrong

Original Text

甲乙日得亥卯未局，柱中须有亥字带印为入格，若无亥有卯，止是木之本气，却要见金土为贵，既无亥字，又无金土，则木不秀不实，难以言贵。如甲寅日有亥，时见丁卯劫财、阳刃、伤官，虽贵不全合格。

诗曰：

甲乙日生亥卯未，局全曲直须荣贵，柱中无亥宜土金，自是生来享福地。

又曰：

三命通会。卷六甲乙生人寅卯辰，又名仁寿两堪评，亥卯未全嫌白帝，若逢坎位必身荣。

Interpretation

If one gets the combination of Hai, Mao, and Wei on the day of Jia or Yi, there must be the character Hai in the Bazi columns with an Indirect Resource (Yin) for it to meet the criteria of the pattern. If there is no Hai but only Mao, it is just the fundamental qi of Wood. In this case, the presence of Metal and Earth is considered noble. If there is neither Hai nor Metal and Earth, then the Wood will not be lush and fruitful, and it's hard to say that the person will be noble. For example, if it's the day of Jia Yin with Hai, and there is Ding Mao (Rob Wealth, Yang Blade, and Hurting Officer) in the hour column, although the person may be noble, it doesn't fully meet the requirements of the pattern.

The poem goes:

Those born on the days of Jia or Yi in the months of Hai, Mao, or Wei, if the situation forms a complete straight - line combination, will surely be honored and noble. If there is no Hai in the eight - character columns, with the presence of Earth and Metal, they are naturally born into a blessed land.

It is also said:

In "San Ming Tong Hui", Volume 6: For those born under the Heavenly Stems Jia and Yi in the earthly branches Yin, Mao, and Chen, it is also known as a situation worthy of evaluation in terms of longevity and good fortune. When the combination of Hai, Mao, and Wei is complete, the influence of the White Emperor (a symbolic concept) is not favorable. If one encounters the position of Kan (a trigram in the Book of Changes, representing a certain situation), they will surely achieve honor in life.
