SMTH says:
因昼夜阴阳之气感而六合。
Due to the touch of Yin and Yang Qi of the Day and night comes the 6 combinations.
因六合而生六害，因六害而忌昼夜阴阳之气。
Due to the 6 combinations, the 6 harm is born, because the 6 harm dreads the YinYang Qi of Day and night.
六害者，十二支凌战之辰也。
6 harms, is the occasion/time when the 12 branches are approaching war (with each other).

歌诀曰：六害之人忌日时，老年残疾苦何依；又逢羊刃神相蚀，不中锋芒虎亦欺。
Song and ode says: the person that has 6 harm, the day and hour is taboo (6 harm should not be between day and hour), olden years would be suffering from sickness with no one to care; if meets YanRen god eclipses one another, 不中锋芒虎亦欺 unsuitable edge (of the sword) tiger would also take advantage (this phrase makes no sense to me)
Trey: the song is like this
猪遇猿猴事罢休；
从来白马怕青牛；
蛇见猛虎如刀割；
玉兔逢龙双泪流；
金鸡遇犬门外立；
羊鼠相逢一担丢。
六害之人忌日时；
老年残疾苦何依；
又逢羊刃神相蚀；
不中锋芒虎亦欺。
可见命犯六害，大忌干支相伤，日时上最紧，身命宫次之，便是贵格，贵自贵，害自害，两不相掩。
It can be seen that if Life offends 6 harms, it's highly inauspicious for the Stems and Branches to injure each other, Day and Hour pillar would be the most criticalm Body and Life palace is second critical, even if the structure is noble, noble is noble, harm is still harm. The two does not counterbalance.
No more SMTH please...
