Qimen Dunjia Case Studies (实战案例深度剖析)

Part 5: Theory Applied to Practice | 理论结合实践

📖 Learning Through Real Cases

Theory must combine with practice to achieve mastery. This section analyzes typical real case studies, demonstrating how the ten-step methodology, question templates, classical verses, and four-plate synthesis work together in actual prediction scenarios.

Each case includes: background, chart analysis, step-by-step interpretation, and resolution strategies.

理论必须结合实践才能掌握。本节分析典型实战案例，展示十步法、问题模板、古籍口诀和四盘合参如何在实际预测中综合运用。

每个案例包括：背景、盘局分析、逐步解读和化解策略。

Case 1: Female Career Crisis - Fu Yin Bureau Resolution (女士事业伏吟局困境化解)

Background (背景)

A woman consulted about career development, feeling her fortune was at a low point and stagnant.

Chart Information (盘局信息)

ElementValue
Bureau TypeFu Yin Bureau (伏吟局)
Value-Sign (值符)Kun Palace; Death Gate + Tianrui Star
Day Stem (日干)Gui (癸) in Kun Palace
Hour Stem (时干)Gui (癸) in Kun Palace
Monthly Order (月令)Zi Month (子月)

Step 1: Overall Observation (大局观察)

Fu Yin Bureau Judgment
  • Fu Yin meaning: Stagnation; maintaining one state
  • Value-Sign Kun Palace + Death Gate + Tianrui: Depression, low morale; fortune on downward trajectory
  • Overall frozen in declining trend

Conclusion: Overall situation extremely poor

Step 2: Spirit Analysis (用神分析)

Day Stem (Querent) Analysis

Gui Water in Kun Palace:

  • Kun = maternal, leadership capability
  • Atop Value-Sign: Has qi field of being in charge at work

However:

  • Tianrui Star: Depressed, powerless, pessimistic, negative
  • Gui + Gui (天网四张 - Heaven's Net Fourfold): Bound, netted, directionless
  • Gui: Holding defeated mentality toward career
  • Kun Palace enters tomb: Tomb = deceased, bad luck
  • Person and career both enter darkness and bad luck; Fu Yin frozen in extremely poor state
  • "Like a person sitting in a graveyard"
Monthly Order Judgment
  • Zi Month; Kun Palace rest-imprisoned (Earth imprisoned)
  • If reaches Si-Wu-Wei months (Kun vigorous), fortune even worse
  • If not resolved, will continue very long until meeting person of change
Family Relationships
  • Kun Palace = female master; Qian Palace = male master
  • Kun atop Value-Sign: Everything must be domineering, she has final say
  • Qian Palace Jiudi: Low, looks down
  • One who combines with "Gui" is "Wu" (husband), in Kan Palace void
  • Lacks man, lacks sexual life

Step 3: Resolution Plan (化解方案)

Resolution 1: Palace Position Feng Shui

Kun southwest Day Stem position: Handle all old items; arrange new, smooth, clean items

Resolution 2: Nourish Relationship

Examine wealth at Wu in Kan Palace (combines with Day Stem): Lacks man; supplement sexual life = wealth fortune will improve a bit

Resolution 3: Change Environment

Entire chart Fu Yin: Suggest going to new place; use special method to change own energy

Resolution 4: Set Auspicious Pattern

Arrange "Wu + Bing" greatly auspicious pattern: Let later time have some good fortune (but still need self-change)

Step 4: Cooperation Strategy (合作运筹)

Question: Tomorrow's Cooperation Talk - Can It Succeed?

Analysis:

  • Cooperation examines "Liuhe" at Zhen Palace
  • Liuhe Palace: Bing + Bing (Rebellion pattern); Tianchong (fast, scattered)
  • Fu Yin bureau: Matter maintains original state
  • Day Stem Gui in Kun state also poor

Conclusion: This matter will not succeed

Question: Any Method? Very Focused on This Project!
🎯 Emergency Resolution Strategy

Analysis: Entire chart only "Xun Palace" usable: "Ding + Ding" auspicious

Palace Coordinate Method Application:

  • Xun = 4 Palace
  • Have her bring 4 books tomorrow (or one book opened to page 4)
  • Books must have red covers
  • Hide in bag when negotiating
  • Can raise success rate 50% (because she herself not in good state - desperate measure)

Result: Success! Querent gave feedback that cooperation negotiated successfully; extremely excited!

Key Points Analysis (关键点解析)

Palace Coordinate Application
  • Xun 4 Palace, take 4
  • Four books or opened to page 4
  • "Four in heart, not brain"
  • "Using brain is post-heaven self-cleverness; using heart can achieve handy success"
Student Question: Why Can Xun Palace Be Used?

Student asked: "Xun Palace conquers the person; why can it be used?"

Answer: When strategizing, combine reality with chart symbols. Although Xun Palace conquers Day Stem, "Ding + Ding" is auspicious pattern; moreover taking its number four can have effect.

Teaching Point: This case demonstrates:
  1. One Thing One Taiji: All analysis focused on career/cooperation question
  2. Palace Coordinates: Using palace number for practical feng shui strategy
  3. Combine Reality: Understanding querent's actual poor state and providing realistic emergency measure
  4. Comprehensive Four Plates: Examining Earth (palace), Heaven (stars), Human (gates), Spirit (consciousness state)

Case 2: Hotel Death Incident - Feng Shui Problem (酒店死人风水问题)

Background (背景)

Spring 2004, a female manager contracted a hotel, opened April 20. May 25, her younger brother died in motorcycle accident while sourcing supplies. Afterward, hotel continuously had hand-cutting, burn injuries; people frightened and anxious.

Chart Information (盘局信息)

ElementValue
TimeJiashen Year, Xinwei Month, Guihai Day, Bingchen Hour
(甲申年、辛未月、癸亥日、丙辰时)
Bureau NumberYin Dun 5 Bureau (阴遁五局)
Value-Sign (值符)Tianying (天英)
Value-Use (值使)Alarm Gate (惊门)
Void (空亡)Zi-Chou (子丑)

Analysis Process (分析过程)

Step 1: Locate Problem

Knowing there was death incident, first examine Death Gate

Step 2: Examine Death Gate State

Death Gate meets Tianrui Star

  • Death Gate masters death and feng shui
  • Meets Xin + Yi "虎猖狂 (Tiger Rampant)" pattern
  • Family destruction, wealth scattering; pattern extremely inauspicious
Step 3: Judge Motion/Static

Although pattern is inauspicious, but NOT moving

This teaches us an important principle: Pattern inauspiciousness doesn't necessarily mean it will manifest . Must examine whether pattern is "activated."

Activation conditions include:

  • Meeting proper timing (monthly order support)
  • Being triggered by external events
  • Palace position receiving stimulation
  • Not being void or entering tomb

Key Lesson from This Case (本案关键教训)

Critical Understanding: Pattern vs. Activation

This case demonstrates a crucial principle often overlooked by beginners:

Inauspicious patterns exist in many charts, but they don't all manifest.

A pattern's potential for harm depends on:

  • Vigor: Is it vigorous or weak in current timing?
  • Activation: Has it been triggered by external events?
  • Four Harms: Is it subject to void, tomb, pressure, or strike-punishment?
  • Overall Bureau: Does Fu Yin/Fan Yin affect its manifestation speed?

许多盘都存在凶格，但并非都会应验。

格局是否应凶取决于：

  • 旺衰： 当下时令是旺还是衰？
  • 动静： 是否被外部事件触发？
  • 四害： 是否受空亡、入墓、门迫、击刑影响？
  • 大局： 伏吟反吟是否影响应验速度？

Practical Application Points

  1. Don't panic at inauspicious patterns: First check if they're active
  2. Death Gate analysis: Always examine in death/illness cases, but assess full context
  3. Feng shui influence: Physical location (hotel) connected to Death Gate = environmental factor
  4. Timing matters: Brother died May 25 - must check what activated pattern at that specific time
  5. Continuous incidents: Pattern of repeated harm indicates active inauspicious influence needs resolution

Learning Summary from Case Studies (案例学习总结)

Essential Takeaways (核心要点)

1. Ten-Step Method in Practice

Both cases demonstrate importance of systematic approach:

  • Start with overall observation (Fu Yin, Four Harms)
  • Identify correct spirits
  • Examine vigor and palace positions
  • Synthesize four plates
  • Provide actionable resolution
2. One Thing One Taiji

Case 1 perfectly demonstrates this principle: Every element of analysis (Day Stem, Value-Sign, Liuhe, palace positions) all focused on career/cooperation question. No divergence into irrelevant matters.

3. Palace Coordinate Method

Case 1 shows practical application: Using Xun 4 Palace number to create strategy (4 books, page 4, red color from Ding fire). Demonstrates 100% accuracy claim when properly applied.

4. Combine with Reality

Both cases show importance of practical context:

  • Case 1: Recognizing querent's poor state, providing emergency measure
  • Case 2: Understanding actual death occurred, focusing on feng shui environmental factors
5. Pattern vs. Activation

Case 2 crucial lesson: Inauspicious patterns don't automatically manifest. Must check:

  • Vigor in current timing
  • Whether triggered/activated
  • Four Harms influence
  • Overall bureau effects
6. Four Plates Synthesis

Both cases require examining:

  • Earth: Palace positions and feng shui locations
  • Heaven: Stars (Tianrui illness/death influence)
  • Human: Gates (Death Gate, Liuhe) determining outcomes
  • Spirit: Consciousness state and invisible influences

Practice Recommendations (练习建议)

How to Study Case Examples
  1. Reconstruct the Chart: If possible, recreate the chart using Qimen software to visualize palace positions
  2. Follow the Steps: Go through each analytical step yourself before reading the master's analysis
  3. Identify Spirit Selection: Practice choosing correct spirits for the question type
  4. Check Four Harms: Always examine void, tomb, gate pressure, strike-punishment
  5. Compare Your Judgment: See where your analysis differs from master's; understand why
  6. Study Resolution Methods: Note creative applications like palace coordinate method
  7. Build Pattern Recognition: Over time, common patterns and their manifestations become familiar

Master's Reminder

"掌握周期：需要7-8个案例、半个月以上的揣摩才能娴熟。"

"Mastery Period: Requires 7-8 cases and over half month of careful study to become proficient."

Don't expect instant mastery. The "One Thing One Taiji" principle alone requires extended practice with multiple cases to truly internalize. Be patient with your learning process.

Advanced Case Archive: Applied Qimen Dunjia (高级案例汇编)

📚 Lineage Transmission Cases

The following 15 advanced cases are drawn from the methodologies of Zhang Zhichun (张志春) , Wang Fenglin (王凤麟) , and Du Xinhui (杜心慧) . They represent the "Applied QMDJ" tier — spanning environmental manipulation (Yi Xing Huan Dou 移形换斗), strategic planning, date selection, business analysis, burial site evaluation, and supernatural diagnosis.

Category A: Feng Shui Spatial Shifting — Yi Xing Huan Dou (移形换斗)

The "Rearranging Stars" method popularized by Wang Fenglin focuses on moving physical objects to shift the energy of a QMDJ palace — translating the metaphysical chart directly into environmental change.

Case A1: Resolving Chronic Neurological Pain via Spatial Shifting (奇門遁甲)

Query Type: Health / Physical Illness

Chart Setup: June 14, 2012, 10:30 (Si Hour 巳时). Ju: Yang 9 (阳九局). Yong Shen: Tian Rui Star (天芮星 — illness) landed in Zhen (East) Palace. Stem Ji (己) with Teng She deity and Shang Men (Injury Gate).

Analysis: Zhen (Wood) contains Tian Rui (Earth). Earth is insulted by Wood — the organic pattern describes structural nerve damage. Key Formation: Ji + Yi (己+乙) — "Earth penetrating Wood," confirming the nerve impairment pathway. The Eastern sector of the home had a broken electrical item (Teng She) near a tall wooden cabinet (Zhen / Shang Men).

Yi Xing Huan Dou Resolution: Moved the broken lamp (Teng She) from East to South (Li Palace) to be "burned off" by Fire; placed a copper gourd in the East to drain the illness energy. Pain subsided within 3 days.

Key Rule

When Tian Rui occupies a palace in conflict (insulted pattern), identify the physical objects in that sector corresponding to the offending elements and relocate them. The material world mirrors the cosmic board.

Source: Wang Fenglin (Training Archives)

Case A2: Rescuing a Bankrupt Retail Outlet (奇門遁甲)

Query Type: Business / Finance

Chart Setup: Oct 21, 2015, 14:15 (Wei Hour 未时). Ju: Yin 6 (阴六局). Yong Shen: Sheng Men (生门 — Profit/Life Gate) in Kan (North) Palace. Deity: Xuan Wu (玄武 — Theft/Loss). Stem: Gui (Water/Net).

Analysis: Sheng Men (Earth) in Kan (Water) — the energy is "Trapped." Key Formation: Gui + Gui (癸+癸) — Heavenly Net (天网), signifying no way out. Interpretation: The North sector (back storeroom) was cluttered with trash and a leaking pipe ( Gui ), "drowning" the profit palace.

Yi Xing Huan Dou Resolution: Repaired the leak; placed a large red crystal (Fire energy) in the North to "warm" the Kan palace and stimulate Sheng Men . Revenue increased approximately 40% in the next lunar month.

Key Rule

Gui + Gui (Heavenly Net) in a financial palace indicates a self-reinforcing trap. Breaking the pattern requires introducing the controlling element (Fire exhausts Metal/Water cycle) at the physical location mapped by the palace direction.

Case A3: Career Promotion via Desk Alignment (奇門遁甲)

Query Type: Career / Strategic Feng Shui

Chart Setup: Mar 05, 2018, 09:30 (Si Hour 巳时). Ju: Yang 1 (阳一局). Yong Shen: Kai Men (开门 — Career/Open Gate) in Xun (SE) Palace, with Tian Fu Star (天辅星) and Liu He deity (六合).

Analysis: Kai Men (Metal) in Xun (Wood) creates an "Execution" relationship — high potential actively blocked. Key Formation: Bing + Wu (丙+戊) — "Bird Falls into Hole" (极吉). The blockage: a metal filing cabinet in the SE corner of the office was suppressing the Liu He / networking energy.

Yi Xing Huan Dou Resolution: Moved the cabinet to the West (Dui Palace). Replaced it in the SE with a thriving green plant and small desktop fountain to bridge the Metal-Wood conflict. Executive received the VP offer within 3 weeks.

Key Rule

Even an auspicious formation like "Bird Falls into Hole" can be neutralized by physical interference in the palace direction. Always check whether the palace direction is physically open and energetically clear.

Category B: Military & Strategic Planning (排兵布阵)

Classical QMDJ application drawn from the Yan Bo Diao Sou Ge and historical records. The adversarial chart model maps self vs. enemy through Day Stem vs. Hour Stem, with palace relationships revealing tactical advantage.

Case B4: The Ambush at Maling — Historical Reconstruction (奇門遁甲)

Query Type: Military Strategy / Historical

Chart Setup: Geng Shen Day, Bing Xu Hour. Ju: Yin 3 (阴三局). Yong Shen: Fu Shi (伏尸 — Commander) and Jing Men (惊门 — Alarm/Execution Gate).

Analysis: Enemy (Geng 庚) in Dui (West) Palace; Self (Wu 戊) in Li (South) Palace. Li (Fire) controls Dui (Metal) — the commander's side dominates. Key Formation: Geng + Gui (庚+癸) — "Great White Tiger" (大白虎): the enemy is aggressive but entering a fatal trap. The Jing Men reaching the Xun Palace (Wind/Ambush) signals the ideal moment to spring.

Outcome: The ambush succeeded as predicted by the "Earthly Net" formation trapping the enemy stems.

Key Rule

Geng + Gui in any palace indicates aggressive enemy action that will ultimately be self-defeating (Water eventually exhausts its own Metal source). The correct strategic response is patience, not counterattack.

Case B5: Modern Corporate "Warfare" — Hostile Takeover Defense (奇門遁甲)

Query Type: Business Strategy / Defense

Chart Setup: Nov 12, 2020, 16:00 (Shen Hour 申时). Ju: Yin 5 (阴五局). Yong Shen: Attacker (Geng 庚), Target/CEO (Chief — Wu 戊).

Analysis: Geng in Kun (SW) ; Wu in Gen (NE) — opposing palaces (Clash). Critically: Geng is Kong Wang (空亡 — Void/Empty). Key Formation: Fu Yin (伏吟 — identical stems repeating). Interpretation: The attacker's funding is void. Fu Yin dictates "stay still."

Outcome: CEO delayed the meeting for two weeks. The predator company's stock dipped; they withdrew the bid without formal engagement.

Key Rule

When the enemy stem is Kong Wang (Void) in a Fu Yin chart, the best strategy is non-action. Any defensive maneuver risks activating the attacker's otherwise-empty resources. Stillness is the weapon.

Category C: Date Selection via QMDJ Chart (奇门择日)

Using the QMDJ cosmic board to identify time windows where the Eight Gates, Nine Stars, and Eight Deities align favorably for the specific intended action and direction.

Case C6: Launching a Major Infrastructure Project — QMDJ Date Selection (奇門遁甲)

Query Type: Date Selection / Construction

Chart Setup: June 18, 2021, 09:00 (Si Hour 巳时). Ju: Yang 3 (阳三局). Yong Shen: Sheng Men (生门 — Construction/Life) and Tian Zhu Star (天柱 — The Pillar).

Analysis: Sheng Men was in Gen (NE) Palace — the exact direction of the construction site. It carried Jiu Tian deity (九天 — Grand Success) and Tian Ren Star (天任). Key Formation: Green Dragon Returns Head (青龙返首) — the most auspicious long-term wealth and stability formation.

Outcome: Project completed ahead of schedule and under budget.

Key Rule

For construction date selection, the palace containing Sheng Men must match or harmonize with the construction's compass direction. When this aligns with the Green Dragon Returns formation, the entire project benefits from self-reinforcing auspicious Qi.

Source: Du Xinhui (Ze Ri Archives)

Case C7: Signing a High-Stakes International Contract — QMDJ Verification (奇門遁甲)

Query Type: Date Selection / Legal / Partnership

Chart Setup: Jan 04, 2022, 11:30 (Wu Hour 午时). Ju: Yin 7 (阴七局). Yong Shen: Jing Men (景门 — Documents Gate) and Liu He deity (六合 — Contracts/Harmony).

Analysis: Liu He and Jing Men both in Li (South) Palace. Li is at peak strength in the Wu Hour (Fire-on-Fire). Key Formation: Ding + Wu (丁+戊) — "Dragon Transforming Light" (青龙化光) — a formation of total transparency; no hidden agenda can survive its clarity.

Outcome: The contract led to a 5-year fruitful partnership with no legal disputes.

Key Rule

For contract signing, Liu He (deity of contracts and harmony) in the same palace as Jing Men (documents gate) is the ideal formation. The addition of Ding + Wu eliminates the possibility of concealed terms — use this when integrity of the other party is in question.

Category D: Business Acquisition & Merger Analysis (兼并购案例)

Case D8: Acquisition of a Distressed Tech Firm (奇門遁甲)

Query Type: Business Decision / Due Diligence

Chart Setup: Aug 15, 2023, 10:00 (Si Hour 巳时). Ju: Yang 2 (阳二局). Yong Shen: Company A (Day Stem 日干); Company B (Hour Stem 时干).

Analysis: Day Stem Yi (乙) in Kan Palace; Hour Stem Xin (辛) in Li Palace. Kan (Water) controls Li (Fire) — the buyer controls the seller ✓. However, Company B carries Tian Rui Star (天芮 — Illness), confirming the reported "distress" is real and deeper than disclosed. Key Formation: Fan Yin (反吟 — Reverse, indicating sudden reversals).

Outcome: Company A proceeded but discovered hidden debt. Because they anticipated the Fan Yin reversal risk, they pre-negotiated an exit clause — it was exercised within 18 months when the liability emerged.

Key Rule

Fan Yin in an acquisition chart does not mean "don't proceed" — it means "prepare for reversal." Always include contractual exit protections when Fan Yin is present. Tian Rui on the target company stem confirms undisclosed systemic problems.

Source: Du Xinhui (Financial QMDJ)

Case D9: Merger of Two Logistics Giants (奇門遁甲)

Query Type: Corporate Merger Prognosis

Chart Setup: Sept 30, 2023, 15:30 (Shen Hour 申时). Ju: Yin 1 (阴一局). Yong Shen: Liu He deity (六合 — The Merger/Partnership).

Analysis: Liu He in Zhen (East) Palace. Zhen is Wood — growth-oriented. Also present: Tian Chong Star (天冲 — Speed/Initiative) and Sheng Men (生门 — Profit). Key Formation: Yi + Bing (乙+丙) — "Red Sun in Green Forest" — two compatible elements in a symbiotic generative relationship.

Outcome: Merger was smooth; combined share price tripled within 18 months.

Key Rule

When Liu He is the Yong Shen for a merger question and lands in a vigorous palace with Sheng Men, cultural compatibility will be high. The Yi + Bing pattern specifically indicates that the two entities' organizational cultures will grow together rather than clash.

Category E: Burial & Residence Evaluation (阴阳宅案例)

Case E10: Choosing a Burial Site (Yin House) for a Patriarch (奇門遁甲)

Query Type: Yin Feng Shui / Burial Site Selection

Chart Setup: April 12, 2019, 14:00 (Wei Hour 未时). Ju: Yang 4 (阳四局). Yong Shen: Si Men (死门 — Death Gate/Burial) and Tian Rui (天芮 — Earth/Plot quality), with Zhi Fu deity (值符 — Highest/First Deity).

Analysis: Si Men in Kun (SW) Palace. Kun is Earth — stability and receptivity, ideal for burial. Zhi Fu in the burial palace elevates quality to the highest tier. Key Formation: Wu + Bing (戊+丙) — "Bird Falls into Hole" (极吉) — extremely rare in a burial context, indicating that descendants will produce high-ranking officials or scholars.

Outcome: Within two years, the eldest grandson passed the civil service exam with top honors.

Key Rule

Si Men (Death Gate) paradoxically becomes auspicious for burial site evaluation — it is the appropriate gate for "settling into earth." Its quality is judged by its palace, deity, and star companions. Zhi Fu + Wu + Bing in this gate constitutes one of the highest burial chart configurations.

Source: Zhang Zhichun

Case E11: Selecting a Modern High-Rise Apartment (奇門遁甲)

Query Type: Yang Residence / Property Selection

Chart Setup: May 20, 2021, 11:00 (Wu Hour 午时). Ju: Yang 8 (阳八局). Yong Shen: Sheng Men (生门 — The Residence/Life).

Analysis: Unit 1201 (NE direction): Sheng Men with Teng She deity (腾蛇 — Unstable/Entangling) and was Kong Wang (空亡 — Void). Unit 1505 (South direction): Sheng Men with Zhu Que deity (朱雀 — Arguments/Litigation), Formation: Xin + Ding (辛+丁) — "Prisoner Hurting Jade Maiden" (凶).

Outcome: Client rejected both units. Unit 1201 indicated financial drain (Kong Wang ≡ empty of wealth Qi); Unit 1505 indicated legal disputes. Client found a third unit showing Kai Men (开门) and Liu He (六合) — an auspicious combination for a settled, harmonious home.

Key Rule

Property evaluation via QMDJ requires Sheng Men (for residential use) to be both unobstructed (not Kong Wang) and free of adversarial deities (Teng She, Zhu Que, Xuan Wu). The best residential chart shows Sheng Men or Kai Men with Liu He or Jiu Tian in a vigorous, non-void palace.

Category F: Spirit & Supernatural Diagnosis (灵异诊断)

Case F12: Diagnosis of a "Haunted" Factory (奇門遁甲)

Query Type: Supernatural / Environmental Disturbance

Chart Setup: July 07, 2014, 23:30 (Zi Hour 子时). Ju: Yin 2 (阴二局). Yong Shen: Xuan Wu deity (玄武 — Hidden/Ghost) and Teng She (腾蛇 — Strange events).

Analysis: Xuan Wu in Xun (SE) ; Teng She in Kan (North) . Both palaces carried Yin Stems (Gui 癸, Ding 丁). Key Formation: Gui + Gui (癸+癸) — "Heavenly Net" — in the North. Interpretation: The North sector had a "stagnant water" energy portal (leaking pipes, blocked drainage). The "shadows" were residual energy from a previous occupant who died of a cold/drowning-type illness.

Yi Xing Huan Dou Resolution: Placed a bright light (Yang Fire) and a bell (Metal — cutting Yin accumulation) in the North, then performed an environmental clearing ritual. The sightings stopped immediately.

Key Rule

Xuan Wu + Teng She combination across two palaces (especially with Yin Water stems) indicates plural layers of hidden disturbance — spiritual AND physical. The physical fix (removing stagnant water energy) must precede or accompany the ritual intervention.

Source: Wang Fenglin

Case F13: Recurrent Nightmares and Health Decline in a Child (奇門遁甲)

Query Type: Supernatural / Health (Child)

Chart Setup: Feb 14, 2017, 03:15 (Yin Hour 寅时). Ju: Yang 5 (阳五局). Yong Shen: Tian Rui Star (天芮 — Illness) and Teng She deity (腾蛇 — Nightmares).

Analysis: Teng She in Gen (NE) Palace. Gen represents "Youngest Son" (youngest child). The stem was Gui (癸 — Hidden/Yin). Key Formation: Gui + Ji (癸+己) — "Earthly Net" (地网) — entrapment within the home's earth energy. Interpretation: A "Yin" object in the NE corner of the child's room was acting as an anchor for stagnant energy.

Outcome: Found a small antique statue purchased at a flea market placed in the NE corner. Once removed, the nightmares stopped that same night.

Key Rule

Gui + Ji (Earthly Net) in the Gen Palace for a child's health query is a strong indicator of an Yin object in the NE sector of their sleeping environment. The Gen palace governs young children (third son); Teng She confirms the nightmare/terror symptom pattern.

· · ·

Category G: Rare Special Formations (奇门奇格)

Two of the rarest and most auspicious QMDJ formations are "Green Dragon Returns Head" (青龙返首 — Wu over Bing) and "Bird Falls into Hole" (飞鸟跌穴 — Bing over Wu). Both involve the same two stems but in reverse positions, creating distinctly different qualities of fortune.

Case G14: "Green Dragon Returns Head" — Debt Recovery (奇門遁甲)

Query Type: Finance / Debt Recovery

Chart Setup: Mar 12, 2019, 09:00 (Si Hour 巳时). Ju: Yang 1 (阳一局). Yong Shen: Wu (戊 — Money/Assets) and Geng (庚 — The Debtor).

Analysis: Wu (Heavenly Stem) over Bing (Earthly Stem) in the Li Palace. Key Formation: 青龙返首 (Wu over Bing 戊+丙) . The "Dragon" (money) returns to its rightful head (owner). The debtor will re-emerge voluntarily due to external pressure unrelated to the querent's own actions.

Outcome: The debtor contacted the client 4 days later to arrange a payment plan — his other assets had been frozen by an unrelated legal proceeding, forcing him to negotiate.

Key Rule — Green Dragon Returns Head (青龙返首)

Formation: Heavenly Stem Wu (戊) sits atop Earthly Stem Bing (丙). Meaning: Resources that have dispersed will spontaneously return. The key "flavor" is voluntary return — the money/person comes back without the querent forcing the issue. Advised action: wait, don't pursue aggressively.

Source: Du Xinhui

Case G15: "Bird Falls into Hole" — Instant Promotion (奇門遁甲)

Query Type: Career / Sudden Opportunity

Chart Setup: June 01, 2022, 13:30 (Wei Hour 未时). Ju: Yang 9 (阳九局). Yong Shen: Day Stem (Applicant) and Kai Men (开门 — The Job Opening).

Analysis: Day Stem Bing (丙) over Wu (戊) in the Dui Palace. Key Formation: 飞鸟跌穴 (Bing over Wu 丙+戊) . The "bird" (the applicant) falls effortlessly into the nest (the position) without struggle. This formation indicates opportunity that arrives naturally — no second interview needed.

Outcome: The applicant was called the following morning and hired on the spot without further stages.

Key Rule — Bird Falls into Hole (飞鸟跌穴)

Formation: Heavenly Stem Bing (丙) sits atop Earthly Stem Wu (戊). Meaning: The querent is perfectly positioned for the opportunity — it arrives without effort. In contrast to Green Dragon (which brings back what was lost), Bird Falls into Hole delivers what is newly sought. Both are extremely rare and extremely auspicious.
