Analysis of the Bingxu Hour on the Liuyi Day
Original Text
六乙日生时丙戌，鬼败临身有损伤；若不气通身旺月，孤贫劳碌苦难当。
乙日丙戌时，鬼败临身，乙用庚为官，见丙背禄，戌中有辛馀气、丙丁库，食神制煞，若柱透庚，伤官见官，为祸百端；年月有寅午，丙火合局，即一木叠逢火位，主人傲物气高，衣禄平常，残疾，不然寿促。通身旺月气者，吉。
乙丑日丙戌时，春身旺，吉。夏，伤官太重。秋，劳力辛苦。冬亥子，印绶带伤官，极贵。戌月，木火运，七品贵。纯戌年月，天乾透庚丙者，大贵。寅午合火者夭。
乙卯日丙戌时，寅卯月，运西运，六七品贵。子月印绶；丑月杂气，刑出财官，俱贵。
乙巳日丙戌时，吉。丑戌未年月，风宪六卿。亥月，行东运，翰院清贵。
乙未日丙戌时，旺处凶。卯午未戌年月，贵显。
乙酉日丙戌时，春身旺，冬印旺，大贵。夏巳午，秋酉戌，俱贵。亦看天乾如何？丁未、甲辰，生计辛苦；一生遇贵。丑月刑。戌吉。
乙亥日丙戌时，血疾。亥子卯未寅月，遇贵发福；天乾透伤官生财，尤吉。枯木相逢局，逢春叶更生；晚年方得地，花发再重荣。
乙日丙戌时火库，藏辛遇丑乃吉昌；若也运逢凶克害，算来此命且如常。乙日相逢丙戌，伤官库木枝枯。不临辛丑钥匙无。难倚六亲父母，雁侣分飞不睦，于人心悲成疏。要知发福改门闾，此命后甜先苦。
Interpretation
When a person is born on a day of the sixth combination of the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches (Liu Yi) and the hour is Bingxu, the malevolent influence befalls the body, causing harm. If the qi fails to be in harmony during the months when the body is in a prosperous state, one will face loneliness, poverty, toil, and unbearable hardships.
On the day of Yi and at the hour of Bingxu, the evil influence defeats and approaches the person. For Yi, Geng serves as the official. When seeing Bing, it goes against the fortune related to the official position. There is the remaining qi of Xin in Xu, and Xu is also the storage of Bing and Ding. The eating god restrains the killing qi. If Geng is revealed in the pillar, it means the offensive god meets the official, bringing all kinds of disasters. If there are Yin and Wu in the year and month columns, Bing forms a combination with them. That is, one piece of wood repeatedly encounters the fire position, which makes the person arrogant and over - confident, with ordinary livelihood, and may lead to disabilities. Otherwise, the person will have a short lifespan. If the qi of the month when the body is prosperous is in harmony, it is auspicious.
On the Bingxu hour of the Yichou day, if it is spring, the person's physical condition is strong and it is auspicious. If it is summer, the damage to the official element is too severe. If it is autumn, the person will have to work hard. If it is winter with the Hai or Zi period, there is a combination of the seal element and the damage to the official element, and the person will be extremely noble. In the Xuyue month, during the periods of the wood - fire fortune, the person can reach the seventh - rank nobility. If the year and month are all Xuyue and Geng and Bing are revealed in the Heavenly Stems, the person will be of great nobility. If there is a combination of Yin and Wu to form the fire element, the person will have an early death.
On the Bingxu hour of the Yimao day, if it is the Yin or Mao month and the fortune is in the western direction, one can attain the sixth or seventh rank of nobility. In the Zichou month, there is the seal and ribbon; in the Chou month, it is the mixed qi, and through punishment, wealth and official positions are revealed, both leading to nobility.
On the Bingxu hour of the Yisi day, it is auspicious. If one is born in the years or months related to Chou, Xu, or Wei, they will hold high - ranking positions in the law - enforcement and administrative departments. If born in the Hai month and with the fortune moving towards the east, they will enjoy a noble and elegant position in the imperial academy.
At the Bingxu hour on the Yimao day, misfortune may occur when in a prosperous state. If one is born in the years or months of Maoyin, Wuwu, Weiyi, or Xugou, they will achieve noble status and prominence.
On the day of Yiyou and at the time of Bingxu, if it is spring, the body is prosperous; if it is winter, the seal is prosperous, and one will be extremely noble. In summer (when it comes to the months related to Si and Wu), and in autumn (when it comes to the months related to You and Xu), one will also be noble. It also depends on what the Heavenly Stems are. For those born in the years of Dingwei and Jiachen, they will have a hard - working life in making a living; but they will meet noble people throughout their lives. In the month of Chou, there will be punishments. The month of Xu is auspicious.
On the day of Yihai and at the hour of Bingxu, there may be blood - related diseases. In the months of Haizi, Maowei, and Yinyue, if one meets noble people, they will gain good fortune; if the heavenly stems show the appearance of the Hurting Officer generating Wealth, it is especially auspicious. When the withered tree meets a favorable situation, it will sprout new leaves in spring; only in old age can one find a good place, and the flowers will bloom again gloriously.
On the day of Yi and at the hour of Bingxu, there is a fire storehouse. When Xin is hidden and meets Chou, it brings good fortune. If the luck encounters inauspicious conflicts and harms, this fate is just so - so. When the day of Yi meets Bingxu, the wounded official is in the storehouse and the wooden branches are withered. Without meeting Xin Chou, there is no key. It's hard to rely on six - relatives and parents. The siblings fly apart and are in disharmony. There is estrangement and sadness in people's hearts. To know when fortune will come and the family situation will improve, this fate has bitterness first and sweetness later.
