Five-Step Analysis Process

Step 1: Examine Liuhe (六合) Palace

Liuhe is the core symbol of marriage; its palace state directly reflects marital conditions:

🚨 六合+死门 (Most Inauspicious)

Significance:

  • Couples communicate little; after arguments, neither speaks
  • Commits marriage disaster; first marriage unlikely to last, second marriage also uncertain
  • Lacks happiness; easily leads to marriage despair
  • Vulnerable to external destructive forces; family falls apart

Resolution:

  1. Venerate deities and Buddhas, practice Buddhist/Taoist spirit, cultivate body and character
  2. Marriage itself is cultivation; over time naturally transforms danger to safety
CombinationSignificanceResolution
六合+惊门Conflicts, arguments, estrangement; vulnerable to external destruction; internal conflicts lead to separationStrengthen tolerance, reduce suspicion; remain calm in events; use "unwavering, sincere and open" belief to break Alarm Gate negative energy
六合+景门Peach blossom, affair, vanity; View Gate = peach blossom, post-marriage peach blossom = affair; also represents entertainment, banquets, performance; unrestrained desire endangers marriageClear heart, few desires; restrain vanity; strengthen responsibility; couples maintain "romance" state; occasional travel for freshness
六合+伤门Easily has injury, conflict-
六合+杜门Blocked, poor communication-
六合+开/休/生门Auspicious gates; marriage relatively smooth-
六合落空亡Light: Divorce, broken engagement, disappointment in marriage
Heavy: Disgust with mortal world, all is void, despair about marriage
Many long-term singles often due to Liuhe falling void

Step 2: Examine Yi-Geng (乙庚) Relationship
PatternImplication
乙+丙Female will have affair; if encounters View Gate, Tianpeng Star, peach blossom palace—affair more serious
庚+丁Male will have affair; similarly aggravated by View Gate, Tianpeng Star
乙+辛
(青龙逃走)
Ancient text: family destruction, wealth scattering, female initiates divorce
Actual Application - Must consider palace:
• Falls Dui 7 Palace: Yi Wood extremely weak, female constrained, cannot divorce
• Falls Zhen 3 Palace: Yi Wood strong, Xin Metal clashed, female can divorce but not smoothly
• Falls Kan 1 Palace: Yi Wood nourished, Xin Metal weakened, female requests divorce, male will agree
• Falls Kun 2 Palace: Yi Wood enters tomb, female attached to male, ultimately ends indecisively
Key Reminder: Qimen Dunjia is not simple pattern application—requires comprehensive analysis of palace, vigor, monthly order, and other factors.
Steps 3-5: Vigor, Year-Life, Comprehensive Judgment
  • Step 3: Examine vigor—Five Element vigor of Yi-Geng palaces, monthly order influence, Twelve Growth Stages state
  • Step 4: Examine year-life—Both parties' year-life palaces, relationship with Liuhe/Yi-Geng, year-life vigor
  • Step 5: Comprehensive judgment—Can marriage succeed? Marriage quality? Third party present? Marriage obstacles? How to resolve?

Template 2: Wealth & Finance Analysis (财运求财断法)

Theoretical Foundation (理论基础)

Wealth and Self Five Element Relationships:
  1. Profit generates self: Can easily earn money; investment yields good profit

  3. Profit conquers self: Not only no profit, will also lose capital
  4. Self conquers profit: Laborious and hard; at most doesn't lose money, difficult to profit
  5. Profit same as self (comparison): Someone will share profit away; still cannot earn money

  • Fire: Optics, lighting, oil, hairdressing, stationery, education
  • Wood: Timber, furniture, decoration, floriculture, plant foods

  • Earth: Land, real estate, agricultural products

Step 5: Examine Life Gate direction—Life Gate represents wealth-seeking direction. E.g., Life Gate falls Qian 6 Palace = should develop toward northwest

Resolution & Strategy Example

A case provided 5 solutions:

  1. Star-shift palace-change: Move Day Stem from Xun to Gen (Three Wonders auspicious gate)
  2. Adjust home northwest (Qian Palace): Change 九地 to 九天, petty people and important people depart
  3. Find Li Palace person for negotiation: Suppress Open Gate 己+己 short sunken person
  4. Use money to resolve Value-Sign Kun Palace subordinate problem: Gui can combine with Wu
  5. Change own thoughts and actions; find red-clothed female noble for help

Object Direction: Hour Stem palace direction = lost object location. Hour Stem falls inner plate + Fu Yin bureau = lost at home or nearby. Hour Stem falls outer plate + Fan Yin bureau = lost outside.
