癸水继壬之后，乃天干一周阴阳之气，成于终而反于始之渐，故其为水清浊以分，散诸四方，有润下助土之功，滋生万物之德。

在天为雨露，在地为泉脉，谓之阴水。

其禄在子，子乃阴极阳生之地，辛生庚死之垣；
It is at the stage of 'Lu' at Zi, Zi is the time when Yin reaches the extreme and Yang is born, Xin is born and Geng dies.
癸为活水，活水者，柔水也，喜阴金而生，畏阳金而滞，欲阴木行其根则能疏通阴土，阴土既通于地脉则能流畅。
Gui as living water, living water is gentle water, likes to be engendered by Yin Metal, fear of Yang metal as it can be sluggish, desires Yin wood as its root can tilt Yin earth, and tilted Yin earth will allow underground water to flow smoothly.
二月建卯，为花果树木，木旺土屋，癸水方得通达。

至于申地，三阴用事，否卦司权，天地不交，万物不通，申中坤土、庚金遂成围堰，使癸水不能流畅，困于池沼，无所施设，岂再生物？
As for Shen Land, it's the matter of 3 Yins, Fou Gua (the 12th of the 64Gua) takes command, Heaven and earth does not associate with each other, ten thousand beings does not connect (go through), Kun earth within Shen, Geng metal becomes cofferdam, Gui water flow smoothly, and it is contained to be ponds and marshes, nowhere for it to set, how can it engender beings?
