Partitioning on DateTime column

Hi,

I have a table containing column X of type DATETIME and I intend to partition this data in order to benefit from partitioning pruning to increase performance.

My queries will be of this nature.

select * from table where X<now() order by X limit 0,20
select * from table where X<now() order by X limit 21,40
select * from table where X<now() order by X limit 41,60
and so on

I would like to retain a minimum of 6 months data in my table and don't want addition of newer partitions to be cumbersome and deletion of old data should be very easy.

This table will have millions of record.

Waiting for help.
