Six Yin Greeting Yang: Xin Days at Wu-Zi Hour and Two Source Accounts
Six Yin Greeting Yang is a classical reading of a Xin day at Wu-Zi hour, connecting actual Wu Resource and Gui Eating God in Zi with an invoked Bing Officer. It does not require six Yin stems or birth at sunrise: Zi is a nighttime branch.
Which six Xin days are meant, and what is their Zi hour?
Each stem appears six times in the sixty-pillar cycle. The six Xin days all have Wu-Zi as their Zi hour; changing the Day Branch (the lower symbol in the birth-day column) does not change that Hour Stem (the upper symbol in the birth-hour column).
| Day | Complete Zi hour |
|---|---|
| Xin-Wei (辛未) | Wu-Zi (戊子) |
| Xin-Si (辛巳) | Wu-Zi (戊子) |
| Xin-Mao (辛卯) | Wu-Zi (戊子) |
| Xin-Chou (辛丑) | Wu-Zi (戊子) |
| Xin-Hai (辛亥) | Wu-Zi (戊子) |
| Xin-You (辛酉) | Wu-Zi (戊子) |
What are Wu, Gui and Bing, and which are actually present?
For Xin, Wu is Direct Resource (a traditional role associated with learning, care and dependable support), Gui hidden in Zi is Eating God and Bing is Officer. The passage connects Wu–Gui combination, Fire nourishing Earth, Earth nourishing Metal and Bing–Xin combination. Wu is exposed while Gui is hidden, rather than both being exposed stems.
Whether Bing is actually present requires checking the other pillars. Under the stated Yin-reverse, Earth-following-Fire life-stage convention, Xin is at Birth in Zi and Wu has Lu in Si. Xin’s own Lu is You; these are different reference points.
Why does the text distinguish one Zi, Wu-Horse and Chou?
The main account asks for one Zi, cautions about Wu-Horse clashing it and Chou combining it, and treats actual Bing or Si as filling the target. These are conditions of the implicit method, not a forecast of harm for people with those symbols. Later verses also mention Ding and need their own attribution.
Six Yi Rat Noble discusses multiple Zi through a separate gathering account. Its repeated-branch logic should not be transferred to this method.
Why do some accounts name only Xin-Hai, Xin-Wei and Xin-You?
A second account explains the name through the seasonal Yin/Yang symbolism of Hai and Zi, naming Xin-Hai, Xin-Wei and Xin-You. Its day scope is narrower than the opening six-Xin account; they should not be presented as identical rules.
The metaphor belongs to traditional cosmology. It does not measure a person’s Yin/Yang quantity or establish a medical constitution. The practical reading starts by identifying the chosen account and the actual pillars.
Should Wu-Zi hour make this the primary interpretation?
Not automatically. After listing Shen, Chen, Hai, Mao, Wei and You months, the passage gives priority to Resource in the seasonal Earth months, Wealth (the role family controlled by the birth-day element, often interpreted through resources and practical demands)/Officer in Bing-Wu, Bing-Yin or Bing-Xu months, and Wealth in Jia-Yin or Yi-Mao months.
For Xin, Jia is Direct Wealth, Yi Indirect Wealth, Wu Direct Resource, Ji Indirect Resource and Bing Officer. Explaining those actual relations and the season is more useful than adding a prestige label from the hour alone. Historical claims about rank, personality and relatives are not reliable personal predictions.
