Hexagram Jia Day, Ding Mao Hour Analysis
📜 Overall Translation
People born on a Jia day during the Ding Mao hour carry the two major inauspicious stars: Hurt Officer and Yang Blade. For Jia Wood, Xin Metal is the Officer Star, but it is harmed by the Ding Fire in the hour stem; Ji Earth is the Wealth Star, but it is plundered by the Yi Wood within the Mao (hour branch). This combination often manifests as an intense and extreme temperament. If the Bazi reveals Xin Metal (Hurt Officer sees Officer), the individual will likely encounter frequent conflicts and disputes throughout life, with perilous fortune. However, if the Seven Killings combine to transform the Yang Blade, and this aligns with luck cycles of Wealth, Officer, or Seal, it can conversely lead to nobility and prominence.
Detailed Analysis by Day Pillar:
- Jia Zi Day, Ding Mao Hour: Prone to financial disputes, indecisiveness, and strained family relationships. Born in Chen, Xu, Chou, or Wei months can mitigate the inauspicious nature. The Mao month is most inauspicious, but if the Officer or Killings provide control, it can turn auspicious.
- Jia Yin Day, Ding Mao Hour: Those with balanced Wood and Fire in the year and month pillars will have smooth and noble fortune. Those born in Chou or Wei months achieve prominence. Those born in the Yi Hai month possess outstanding talent and can reach high official positions. If the stems and branches are complete with Metal and Water, both Officer and Seal stars are prominent.
- Jia Chen Day, Ding Mao Hour: Abundant wealth and a harmonious family (if born in spring without control, leads to poverty and illness). Those born in Chou or You months achieve prominence.
- Jia Wu Day, Ding Mao Hour: Unstable foundation. Those born in autumn or winter are prone to health issues. Those born in spring or summer achieve wealth and nobility. Those born in the Jia Wu month achieve great nobility; favorable to move towards the northeast.
- Jia Shen Day, Ding Mao Hour: Often holds military or judicial authority. Those born in the You month with Fire-Wood luck cycles achieve moderate nobility. Those born in Yin or Wu years/months achieve great nobility.
- Jia Xu Day, Ding Mao Hour: Those born in the Hai month possess talent, learning, and reputation. The Yang Blade requires control or combination to be auspicious. Those with a weak Day Master face no major disasters, but if born in autumn with pure Killings attacking the body, there is a risk of early demise.
Summary Verse:
When the six Jia meet Ding Mao, clashes and penalties bring misfortune.
Luck turns against, no office or nobility; in old age, aspirations fade to nothingness.
Hurt Officer and Yang Blade follow, with few kin to rely upon.
Only when Officer or Killing luck arrives, does the true nature clearly show.

Core Concepts 💡
