Liuren Approaching Gen
Original Text
此格乃六壬日见甲寅时，合出亥中壬禄，即暗禄格。经云：明禄不如暗禄是也。忌亥字填实，怕冲刑克破。壬寅、壬辰二日为正，见寅字多者大富，以寅中甲木食神生丙火长生之财，财旺生官，故美。忌官煞损身，申庚伤甲，不能生财，为凶。又曰：壬日多见寅字，用寅中甲木暗邀己土为壬官星，寅中丙火暗邀辛金为壬印绶，怕午合申冲，忌财官填实，喜身旺地，岁运同。口诀云：六壬趋艮，逢亥月必贫。《相心赋》云：六壬趋艮，智足多仁。《真宝赋》云：六壬趋艮，透财印为奇，官煞来侵，反为贫穷下贱。
Interpretation
This pattern refers to the situation where on the day of Ren (Water) in the six combinations of Ren and other Heavenly Stems, when it is the hour of Jia Yin, it combines to bring out the good fortune represented by the Ren element in the Hai position, which is the so - called Hidden Fortune Pattern. As the classic says, "Explicit fortune is not as good as hidden fortune." It is taboo for the Hai character to appear and fill the position, and it is also afraid of clashes, punishments, and breakages. The days of Ren Yin and Ren Chen are the most typical. If there are many Yin characters, it indicates great wealth. This is because the Jia Wood in Yin is the "Food God" that generates Bing Fire, which represents the wealth in the stage of "Longevity". Abundant wealth can generate the "Official" element, so it is a good sign. It is taboo for the "Official" and "Killing" elements to harm the self. If Shen (Metal) and Geng (Metal) damage the Jia Wood, it cannot generate wealth, which is inauspicious. It is also said that when there are many Yin characters on the Ren day, the Jia Wood in Yin secretly attracts the Ji Earth as the "Official Star" for Ren, and the Bing Fire in Yin secretly attracts the Xin Metal as the "Print" for Ren. It is afraid of the combination with Wu and the clash with Shen, and it is taboo for the "Wealth" and "Official" elements to fill the positions. It prefers the situation where the self - element is in a prosperous state, and the same principle applies to the annual and monthly cycles. The oral formula says: "When the six Ren days tend towards the Gen position, if it is the month of Hai, poverty is inevitable." The "Essay on Assessing the Mind" says: "When the six Ren days tend towards the Gen position, one is full of wisdom and kindness." The "True Treasure Essay" says: "When the six Ren days tend towards the Gen position, if the 'Wealth' and 'Print' elements are revealed, it is a wonderful situation. But if the 'Official' and 'Killing' elements invade, it will lead to poverty and low social status."
