BaZi: SMTH - 時上正官 Direct Officer on Hour Pillar

時上正官
Direct Officer on Hour Pillar

如甲日酉辛時，乙日申庚時例。
Like DM Jia having You or Xin hour, DM Yi with Shen or Geng hour.

時上官星與月亦同，但力輕微，發福多在晚年，或生賢子，要有印助。
Direct Officer on hour pillar is the same as on the Month pillar, but its strength is a little weaker, most likely would be successful in later years, or begets good children, has to be assisted by Seal.

古歌云：正官有用不須多，多則傷身少則和，日旺再逢生印綬，定須平步擢高科。
The Classics says: Useful Direct Officer does not need to be many, many would injure self and few is harmony, if Day (DM) is prosperous, meeting Birth, Seals and ribbons, will rise to high ranks easily.

Trey:
Some classics propose that Officer shall be taken as the Useful God regardless where it appears, if Officer is absent, Wealth should be chosen instead, if both are absent, then we look into the structures. This is contrary to the teachings of ZPZQ where Useful God must be derived from the month EB, unless the EB does not contain any valid Useful God, the entity can be taken from somewhere else. For example the Rob Wealth structures.
