食神

食神 siksin is the seat that is what the day stem bears, of the same polarity.

What I send outward, so it means expression, craft and sustenance.

It flows gently and is milder than 傷官.

Rich in expression, and it knows how to enjoy.

Being unhurried and hopeful, there is fortune in what it receives.

What it loves becomes its craft, and the craft becomes its living.

A road for the overflowing force to leave by.

Spend it in making and putting out, and that becomes its worth as it stands.

Eating, enjoying and making turn mildly.

Without haste, its own share comes at the right hour.

As much as is put out, its own is reduced.

Fill body and force first, before setting work going.

Ten years of enjoying and spreading out.

The craft loosens, and body and mind are at ease.

The mind is ample and things loosen.

There is fortune in enjoying and in expressing, and the body is at ease.

Be absorbed in what is loved and the yield follows.
