Analysis of the Wuyin Hour on the Liugeng Day
Original Text
六庚日生时戊寅，火生金绝福高人；
月通从革或秋降，却做皇家柱石臣。
庚日戊寅时，火生金绝。庚以丙为鬼，戊为倒食。寅上有明戊、合癸化火，庚金气绝。若不通金旺月，无救助者，夭贱贫下。巳月，庚长生，丙健旺，身鬼俱强；运行西方，勇暴，武贵。申酉丑戌月，金火合局，化鬼为官，更得身强运，贵。
庚子日戊寅时，寅午年月，登科显达。纯申，三、四品贵。丑月、金火运，公卿。
庚寅日戊寅时，月通火局或秋生，行身旺运，贵。庚子月，自死。年见辛酉，贫夭残疾。身衰见丙太旺，同论。
庚辰日戊寅时，春夏生，乾透丙丁，运行身旺，贵。
庚午日戊寅时，寅午戌月，金衰火旺，当带残疾。纯寅，反主极贵。秋，金旺，多贵，但忌时遇亡劫，克身则凶。
庚申日戊寅时，时日并冲，忧伤妻子。寅卯辰月、火金运。侯伯。春月、西南运，大贵。寅月，贵显不久。一云先刑后吉。
庚戌日戊寅时，贵。戌月，杂气财官印绶，贵。庚辰年，己卯月者，侯伯。
庚日寅时甚可夸，无刑克破显忧华；运来自有高人助，时至如添锦上华。庚日戊寅时秀，编印倒食难收。少年未遇莫心忧，此命或贫或富。时至发财发福，运来顺水行舟。月中金水更相投，无破功名成就。
Interpretation
On the day when the Heavenly Stem is Geng in the sexagenary cycle and the time is Wuyin, with fire giving birth and metal reaching its end, the person has high fortune.
If one's nature is transformed like the moon in autumn and is influenced by the element of metal, they will become a pillar and cornerstone official for the royal family.
When the heavenly stem of the day is Geng and the earthly branch of the hour is Yin (the time corresponding to the Geng day and the Wuyin hour), fire is born while metal is in the state of extinction. For Geng, Bing is regarded as the "ghost" (a kind of inauspicious element in the Five - Element theory), and Wu is the "inverted food". On Yin, there is obvious Wu, which combines with Gui to transform into fire, and the qi of Geng metal is in a state of extinction. If it is not in the month when metal is prosperous and there is no assistance, the person will have a short - lived, humble and poor life. In the Si month, Geng is in the state of birth, Bing is strong and prosperous, both the self (represented by Geng) and the "ghost" are powerful; if the luck cycle moves towards the west (where metal is associated), the person will be brave and violent, and can achieve noble status through military means. In the Shen, You, Chou and Xu months, metal and fire form a combined situation, transforming the "ghost" into an "official" (a positive element), and if the person gets a luck cycle where the self is strong, they will be noble.
On the day of Gengzi and at the time of Wuyin, if one was born in a year and month when the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches form the combination related to Yin and Wu, they will pass the imperial examinations and achieve high - profile status. If the earthly branches in the eight - character horoscope are all Shen, they will reach the third or fourth rank of nobility. If one is born in the month of Chou and experiences the fortune related to metal and fire, they will become high - ranking officials.
On the Gengyin day and Wuyin hour, if the month corresponds to a fire - element situation in the five - element theory or if one is born in autumn and has a favorable fortune of strong personal energy in the five - element cycle, they will achieve high status. In the Gengzi month, it indicates a self - withering situation. If the year column shows Xinyou, it implies poverty, an early death, and disabilities. If one has a weak personal energy in the five - element cycle and the Bing element (associated with fire) is overly strong, the same unfavorable situation as above will occur.
On the Gengchen day and Wuyin hour, if one is born in spring or summer, and the Heavenly Stems reveal Bing and Ding, and the luck cycle is in the phase of prosperous personal qi, they will be noble.
On the day of Gengwu and at the time of Wuyin, in the months of Yin, Wu, and Xu, metal is weak while fire is strong, and one is likely to have a disability. If the eight - character combination is purely related to Yin, it actually leads to extremely high nobility. In autumn, when metal is strong, there are many noble fortunes, but it is taboo to encounter the "Death and Robbery" at the specific time. If it overcomes the self, it is inauspicious.
On the day of Gengshen and at the hour of Wuyin, there is a clash between the time and the day, which brings sorrow to one's wife. If one is born in the months of Yin, Mao, or Chen and encounters the fortune of fire and metal, one can become a marquis or earl. If born in spring and experiences the fortune in the southwest direction, one will achieve great nobility. If born in the month of Yin, the nobility and prominence will not last long. Another view is that there will be misfortune first and then good fortune.
On the day of Gengxu and at the time of Wuyin, it indicates nobility. In the Xu month, with the mixed qi of wealth, official rank, and seal ribbon, it also indicates nobility. For those born in the year of Gengchen and the month of Jimao, they can reach the status of marquis or earl.
It's really praiseworthy when Geng day meets Yin hour. Without punishment, conflict or damage, it shows a glorious future. When good fortune comes, there will surely be help from noble people. When the time arrives, it's like adding a flower to brocade. When Geng day meets Wuyin hour, it's a good sign, but there may be some difficulties in dealing with things. Don't be worried if you haven't met with good luck in your youth. This fate may lead to either poverty or wealth. When the time comes, one can make a fortune and enjoy blessings. When good fortune arrives, it's like sailing with the current. If the metal and water elements in the month are in harmony, and there is no damage, one can achieve fame and success.
