SMTH 壬 Ren Water
壬水喜阳土而为堤岸之助，畏阴木而为盗气之忧。
Ren water likes Yang Earth to be its bank, and it's afraid of Yi wood robbing it's Qi.
在天为云，在地为泽，谓之阳水。
In heaven as clouds, on earth as marsh, named as Yang Water.
其禄在亥，亥为池沼存留之水，谓之死水。
It is at the stage of 'Lu' at Hai, Hai as the water that is contained by pond and marsh, is named dead water.
死水者，刚水也，赖庚金而生，庚禄到申，能生壬水，乃五行转养之气。
Dead water is tough water, relies of Geng metal to engender, Geng is at 'Lu' stage at Shen, so it can engender Ren water, it's the cyclic 'Rear' Qi of the five elements.
至于卯地，卯乃花叶树木，木旺于卯则能克土，土虚则崩，故堤岸崩颓，而壬水走泄，散漫四野，流而不返，又被阴木盗气，岂得存活？
As for Mao land, Mao is flowers, leaves. trees and woods, prosperous wood at Mao can counter earth, weak earth collapses, when the bank is collapsed, water is drained, dispersed everywhere, flow out and will not return, and also its Qi is robbed by Wood, how can it survive?
故壬水生于申而死于卯也。经云：死水横流。正谓此也。
That is why Ren water is born in Shen and dies at Mao. The classics say: dead water flows horizontally. That is the meaning of this.
