Qi Men Dun Jia is a well respected forecasting tool believed passed down 4600 years ago. It combines the help from 9 heavenly stars 天星, 8 deities 神, 8 门 doors 人 and time-interaction with 9 palaces 地. This metaphysics formula was originally applied in war strategy, so the terms used are battle-related.
In today’s context it is use to predict progress of development, career, business, competition, health, marriage, polling results and many others. One fundamental rule to use Qi Men is 不动不占 there must a certain need before using it. And you can’t asked the same question within say in a week.
If we translate the Chinese hanyu pinyin to English literally. “Qi” means magic or a miracle. “Men” represents the 8 doors. “Dun” means hiding from it’s enemies to protect the emperor represented by “Jia” wood. So in any QMDJ chart you will not find “甲 jia”- the emperor.
QMDJ a powerful forecasting tool
When comes to specific objectives Qi Men is a very good tool. Things like harmony, wealth, lost & found, career, luck enhancement and many others. Solely my opinion it is more useful for short term than long term results.
Qi Men Dun Jia No Fixed Applications
Most feng shui enthusiasts would use the short cut of 3 positive Doors i.e. 开open 休rest 生life 三吉门 doors. This is risky because one have to analyse other influences such as 8 deities, 9 stars, 奇门干支, season etc. In fact if the matter is urgent, the right approach is to examine the Deity (天盘值符) 急则从神缓从门 residing palace than the 3 Doors.
In life there are two sides of the same coin.
Let’s take “Death Door 死门” as an example which is associated with death, sickness, hardship, trouble, abusive relationships, bad luck etc. So the usual advise is to rectify the sector. This is true in most situations. However certain occupations can utilise the “positives” of “death door” energy such as forensic pathologist, doctor, grief counsellor etc.
The reason is that these jobs solve “life & death” problems on a daily basis. The negative energy associated with “death door” is useful to them because that is what they do.
