When Encountering the Birth Seal

Original Text

如甲日子时，取子中癸水为印，资助日主，其人足智多谋，安享食禄，年月上要见辛官生印，运行西北，官印乃为贵命，若柱逢戊己土重，更有午字冲破，运历东南，官印衰绝，百事无成，公吏肆市人也。

Interpretation

For example, if a person is born in the Zi hour of a Jia day, taking the Gui water in the Zi as the seal to support the day master, this person is resourceful and can enjoy a stable income. There should be Xin official in the year and month columns to generate the seal. If the fortune moves towards the northwest, with the official and the seal, it is a noble fate. However, if there is a large amount of Wu and Ji earth in the pillars and there is also a Wu character to break through, and the fortune goes towards the southeast, the official and the seal decline and are exhausted, and this person will achieve nothing in life, perhaps being just an ordinary official or a market - goer.
