Analysis of the B You Hour on the Six Geng Days
Original Text
六庚日生时乙酉，金中相会化真金；
柱中无火多刚缺，有火相成贵气荣。
庚日乙酉时，气化真金。庚以乙为财，辛为刃，酉上财绝刃旺。若化真金，柱中无火，金太刚则缺；行火运，造化抑扬，得合中道。庚辰日最好年月带马，三、四品贵，但主少子或不肖。
庚子日乙酉时，主富。月通火气，贵：不通，平常，运通亦称意。卯亥年月，帅阃。一云破祖刑凶。
庚寅日乙酉时，刑。寅午戌吉。申子，凶暴。
庚辰日乙酉时，刑。寅卯午年等月，二品权贵。戌亥大贵。《神白经》云：化金，主福厚。
庚午日乙酉时，刑，中贵。寅午戌亥卯未二局，贵。已，亦吉。
庚申日乙酉时，真刑。寅午戌，大贵。已酉丑，中贵。申子辰，富。亥卯未，凋零，一云财吉。
庚戌日乙酉时，刑后发。寅午戌，官星明朗，贵。亥卯未，富或五、六品贵。已酉丑刃旺持权，主发迹于疆场，武臣最宜，文臣亦主掌兵权，究竟受羊刃之祸。
天元化合酉时生，生月之中见土亨；荣遇财官皆显达，功名利禄沐恩荣。庚日时逢乙酉，就中合化真金。财官运步福源生，文秀聪明为甚。不遇亥子克妻；贵贱举失胸襟。凡事后吉先多凶，人品显达之命。
Interpretation
On the days of the sixth Geng, born at the time of You (when the Heavenly Stem is Yi), the meeting in the metal element transforms into true gold.
If there is no Fire element in the Pillars, one tends to be overly rigid and lack something. With the presence of Fire, it can bring prosperity and noble aura.
On the Geng day and the Yiyou hour, the qi transforms into true gold. For Geng, Yi represents wealth, and Xin represents the blade. On the You position, wealth is exhausted while the blade is prosperous. If it transforms into true gold and there is no fire in the Bazi, the metal will be too rigid and thus flawed; when one walks the fire fortune, the fortune is regulated, and the balance can be achieved. For those born on the Gengchen day, it is best that the year and month columns have the Horse element. They can reach the third or fourth rank of nobility, but they may have few sons or their sons may be unworthy.
At the You hour (between 5 p.m. and 7 p.m.) on the Gengzi day, it indicates wealth. If the month is in harmony with the fire qi, it brings nobility; if not, it leads to an ordinary life, but when the fortune is favorable, one can also be satisfied. In the years and months of Mao and Hai, one may hold high military positions. Another view is that it may cause the destruction of the ancestral family and bring inauspiciousness and punishment.
On the Gengyin day and Yiyou hour, there is punishment. Those born in the years of Yin, Wu, and Xu are auspicious. Those born in the years of Shen and Zi are fierce and violent.
On the Gengchen day and You hour of the second month, there is punishment. Those born in the years of Yin, Mao, and Wu and in certain months can reach the second - rank of nobility. Those born in the years of Xu and Hai will achieve great nobility. According to "Shenbai Jing", when it is transformed into gold, it indicates a life of great fortune.
On the Gengwu day and at the You hour of the Yi period, there is punishment, and one can achieve middle - level noble status. For the two combinations of Yin, Wu, Xu, Hai, Mao, and Wei, one will attain noble status. For the Si combination, it is also auspicious.
On the Gengshen day and at the You hour of the second half of the day (17:00 - 19:00), there is a true penalty. If one's birth chart has the combination of Yin, Wu, and Xu, they will achieve great nobility. If it has the combination of Si, You, and Chou, they will attain medium - level nobility. If it has the combination of Shen, Zi, and Chen, they will be wealthy. If it has the combination of Hai, Mao, and Wei, their fortune will decline. Another view is that the financial fortune will be auspicious.
On the Gengxu day and Yiyou hour, there will be development after setbacks. For those born in the years of Yin, Wu, and Xu, the official star is clear and bright, indicating nobility. For those born in the years of Hai, Mao, and Wei, they will be wealthy or hold a fifth - or sixth - rank noble position. For those born in the years of Ji, You, and Chou, the Yangren (a kind of astrological phenomenon) is strong and they will hold power. They will make their mark on the battlefield. It is most suitable for military officials. Civil officials will also be in charge of military power, but ultimately they will suffer from the misfortune brought by the Yangren.
Born at the time of You (around 5 - 7 p.m.) when Tianyuan (celestial stem and earthly branch combination in traditional Chinese astrology) is in a certain state, and seeing earth in the birth - month brings prosperity. Meeting with wealth and official positions leads to prominence, enjoying glory and receiving favors with fame and fortune. When it comes to a Geng - day and the hour is You with the combination of Yi, there is a true transformation into metal. Walking on the path of wealth and official positions brings blessings, and one is elegant and extremely intelligent. Without encountering Hai and Zi, there will be problems with the wife; whether noble or humble, one may lose composure. Usually, things start with many setbacks and end well. It is a life destined for distinction.
