What time does the "Si Shi" (the sixth of the twelve two-hour periods in traditional Chinese timekeeping) correspond to? People born during Si Shi are governed by the element of Fire in the Five Elements theory. Fire symbolizes propriety, so they attach great importance to the reciprocity of courtesy, have smooth interactions with others, and can accumulate abundant wealth. However, they should avoid losing sight of the bigger picture for trivial gains or confronting others directly, as this may lead to a sense of insecurity. Si Shi spans from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. Those born during this period are characterized by a warm and rational disposition.  

They are generous in treating others, adept at socializing, and clear about gains and losses. They handle affairs with tact while adhering to principles, understand the rise and fall of things, possess keen perception, and enjoy a life of peace and joy without unnecessary disputes. They tend to focus on their own affairs.  

Career-wise, individuals born in Si Shi enjoy smooth progress and demonstrate strong work capabilities, making few mistakes and reaping substantial rewards. There is a trend of promotion and salary increase, often favored and elevated by leaders. While they maintain acceptable relationships with colleagues, genuine friendships are rare.  

Financially, those born during Si Shi generally have a stable income and never owe others debts.  

In love, they hold strict standards and pursue purity. They are blessed with abundant romantic opportunities throughout their lives but remain devoted. They marry at the appropriate age, have a large family with numerous descendants, and are surrounded by outstanding admirers. They are open-minded individuals, enjoying harmonious marriages, mutual love, and a thriving family with prosperous offspring.
