Born on a day ruled by the sixth heavenly stem and the year of the Wood Monkey, the auspicious alignment of Lu and Wealth graces this individual’s fate.
When the Bing Fire and Yin Wood are absent from the pillars, eminence and affluence naturally unfold.
On a day governed by the heavenly stem Geng during the hour of the Monkey, the Hour Lu occupies its rightful place. With Geng Metal situated in Shen, Lu is present, while Jia Wood represents indirect wealth. The absence of Bing Fire within the pillars, along with any conflicts with Si or Yin, suggests a life of eminence but with an air of normalcy. This pattern continues throughout the year.
For a Geng Zi day born during the hour of Jia Shen, encountering the Lu of the day during this hour, coupled with the presence of the Wealth Star, indicates a life of both affluence and distinction. With no traces of Si, Yin, or Bing Fire within the pillars, the individual thrives in both aspects. Earthly branches of Chen, Xu, Chou, and Wei supporting Metal bring fortune. However, branches of Yin, Wu, Xu, and Shen imply mediocrity unless supported by the influence of fire or wood in the life’s timing. Branches of Yin and Hai suggest positions of third or fourth rank in society, while those of Mao indicate adversity, and Zi portends mostly negative outcomes.
For a Geng Yin day during the hour of Jia Shen, under the months of Yin or Hai, the individual may rise to the third rank in officialdom.
For a Geng Chen day during the hour of Jia Shen, being the Day Kui Gang and also under the influence of Lu, indicates a disdain for wealth and officialdom. Success is assured provided there are no traces of Si, Wu, Wu, Ding, or Si within the pillars.
For a Geng Wu day during the hour of Jia Shen, prosperity awaits, especially under a month of strong vitality, though any absence of Bing Fire or conflicts with Si, Yin, Mao, or Ding may diminish this fortune.
For a Geng Shen day during the hour of Jia Shen, prosperity prevails. Absence of Mao, Wu, Wei, or Xu within the pillars suggests elevated status. Under the months of Zi or Chou and the Metal-Water cycles, literary distinction is favored. The presence of both Geng Shen and Jia Shen highlights the prominence of Lu and its return. Only through the endurance of Metal, rather than the temperance of Fire, can true refinement be achieved. Hence, individuals born under the months of Si, Wu, or Xu often rise to prominence. There are seven principles governing Lu’s return; none should be dismissed, with the Wealth months being the most auspicious.
For a Geng Xu day during the hour of Jia Shen, under the months of Yin, Si, Wu, or Xu, a dutiful spouse and filial children accompany distinction. As per the Shen Bai Jing, the combination of Metal and Water, when carrying the Seal, signifies a life of leisure and tranquility.
When the Day Lu aligns with the hour of Shen, prosperity abounds, though the absence of Bing Fire and the presence of Si or Yin within the pillars are undesirable. However, with the intervention of influential connections, spring blooms eternal. The combination of Geng Day and Shen Hour signifies a symbiotic relationship between wealth and fortune. Nurtured in an environment of leisure and enriched by literary pursuits, the individual’s temperament remains free from wrath and resentment.
Ineptitude in agriculture, commerce, and craftsmanship has given way to a fortuitous ascent in societal hierarchy. The discerning applaud the capable, while the ignoble find support; thus, a path emerges through the unbroken azure sky.
