Hi Everyone,

1. I am pleased to announce that our End-User version of our Geomancy.Net's version of Qi Men Dun Jia (奇门遁甲) Divinity Chart or QMDJ Divinity Chart for short that was announced on earlier this month is almost ready. You can read more from our initial post:-

2. Given this report is meant for our end-user usage. The goal was to make the report as easy to understand, despite having a complex number of indicators comprising of Heaven Compass (天盘), Earth Compass (地盘), Human Compass (人盘), Deity Compass (神盘) and the Heavenly Warriors (天盘奇子) and Earthly Warriors (地盘奇子) comprising of (3 Advisers/Strategist and 6 Warrior Divisions).  Together, they can form complex analysis and interpretations that can related to space & time dimensions to look into past, current or future events.

3. I can now share with you what our final QMDJ chart will eventually look like upon release. Of course, I may still tweak or add a few more useful indicators or colour tweaking but the fundamental breakdown of the layout should remain the same. Hence, this is a good time to explain a bit so that users can better understand our QMDJ chart once it is released:-

(Updated link with the latest version of v16.8 which improves the background/text colour for better readability)

4. Our layout of each 9 sector is completely different from any textbook style layout, which usually looks like or something of that nature:- 

 

                                                  值符 ------> (Deity)

(Heaven Warriors) <------  戊 - 伤门 ------> (Human)

(Earth Warriors) <--------- 庚 - 天辅 ------> (Heaven)

 

5. Our version of Qi Men Dun Jia Chart sector is instead layout as follows, this is exclusive and unique to Geomancy.Net since it is Master Robert Lee's own re-interpretation/re-organization of the information in a more informative and intuitive way based on his deep understanding of all the fundamental concepts as well as his experience in optimizing database information in away that looks good and easy to present in programming/design report layout:-

5.1. We re-organize the information into 4 main Compass layout in a square for easy cross-referencing (Heaven-Earth-Human-Deity), since most basic interactions revolves around this 4 compass. Deity and Heaven on the left, Human and Earth on the right side. When you read, it starts from bottom left Heaven->Earth->Human->Deity and back to Heaven Compass again. So they relate very well together in this cycle. We put the Heaven Compass and Earth Compass at the bottom, so that it can link to the corresponding Heaven Warriors and Earth Warriors.

5.2. The Heaven Warriors which comprises of 3 Advisers & 6 Warrior Divisions (天盘奇子) and Earth Warriors also comprises of 3 Advisers & 6 Warrior Divisions (地盘奇子) are located each under the corresponding Heaven Compass and Earth Compass. Heaven on the left side, Earth on the right side.

5.3. Even the Sector direction (also related to Earth Compass) has been layout meaningfully, as the two horoscope signs each represents the S1 and S3 (locations of the 24 compass sectors under the Flying Star Feng Shui 玄空风水). S2 is left out as it is always a duplicate of either S1 or S3 so there is no need to show it:-

6. The S1 and S3 are important, as they also represents the Month sector, Hour Sector, Season sector etc. So at a glance, we can associate which sector or season is related to this sector. 

6.1. Rat (Zi) can represent the flying star 24 direction, seasonal influence, month, or hour. 

6.2. For example, if checking for hour influence. Rat (Zi) represents 11pm-11.59pm (night) or 12am-12.59am (midnight). 

6.3. For example, if checking for month influence. Rat (Zi) represents (Lunar 12th month) or Winter season.

6.4. Hence, the interpretation of the his sector can be used to assess the hour/month time period.

6.5. Most of all, this chart just like all our Geomancy.Net tools, re-orientates the traditional South-North chart which follows the Luopan (罗盘) back into the more commonly used North-South layout of an ordinary compass. So it is easy to apply the chart using just any ordinary compass. Especially, when this chart is integrated to the Eight House (八宅) or Flying Star (Xuan Kong Fei Xing) chart.

7. Most of the interpretations based around these 4 sectors, which arranged as Heaven->Earth->Human->Deity, of which Heaven/Human/Deity/Heaven & Earth Warriors often revolve around the Earth Compass. Hence, the Earth Compass remains the center-right sector in each of the 9 sectors:-

Deity Compass	Human Compass
Money / Nobleman / Minister / Elderly   Very Good Zhi Fu 1 值符 土	Injury   Bad Shang Men 3 伤门 木
Heaven Compass	Earth Compass
Tian Fu   Good Tian Fu 4 天辅星 木	Heaven   Good Qian 6 乾 金

7.1. Each sector is colour coded (ie Very Good - Light Blue, Good - Blue, Average - Green, Bad - Red, Very Bad Light Red) for the basic sector's auspicious/inauspicious influence. So at a glance, we can see 3 auspicious sector (Heaven/Earth/Deity) and one inauspicious sector (Human sector).

7.2. Each sector has the element located at the bottom right corner represented by Chinese Element (金木水火土). I decided to use the Chinese character, since it is smaller and takes up less space in the chart, than if we were to use the English description (Metal/Wood/Water/Fire/Earth).

7.3. Also, this Chinese Element (金木水火土) is one of the basic character that almost everyone should be able to recognize by now. Anyway, we also specially colour coded the element colour accordingly. This allows you to tell if any element helps or destroy the other sector, which also influence the final interpretations. It is less important so no need too much focus, just the colour and character is enough for it to have a meaningful purpose.

7.4. In each sector, the less important technical details such as Name of Stars (ie 天辅星， 乾，伤门，值辅) are located at the bottom of the sector, which we also included the pinyin (含义拼音) for our non-Chinese clients. While the more important representation/interpretations is located at the top (ie Money/Nobleman, Injury etc).

7.5. So at a glance, you can see that there maybe injury related to money/nobleman which means potential money loss or even offending your nobleman (gui ren).

8. Besides these 4 main compasses, the 2 additional Heaven and Earth Advisers and Warrior Division which help represent the many human relationship aspects is layout as follows:-

9 - 甲子六仪 Jia-Zi Division 天门 / Capital / Money / Wealth 7 - 甲申六仪 Jia-Shen Division Husband / Enemy / Bitch / Police Bad Interpretation: 戊 庚 - 值符飞宫 - Auspicious matters becomes Inauspicious. Inauspicious matters becomes worst. Not Auspicious to seek wealth. If seeking cause of illness, also becomes Inauspicious. 天盘值符 - TianPan ZhiFu

8.1. Or in another sector where it shows one of the 3 advisers/strategist (三奇) has a yellow banner instead of black banner for the 6 Warrior Divisions (六仪):-

1 - 日奇 - Sun Strategist Doctor / Woman / Wife	6 - 甲午六仪 Jia-Wu Division Criminal / Past Mistakes
Bad Interpretation: 乙 辛 - 青龙逃走 - will likely have death or loss of wealth, slave abduction, forced labour, even animals will be injured. If person seeking is a married woman, will mean that that woman is escaping from some man.

8.2. The 3 Mystical Advisers/Strategist (1 日奇 - Sun Strategist, 2 月奇 - Moon Marshall and 3 星奇 - Star Quartermaster) are represented in Gold/Yellow banner, given they are 3 special and important influence which often will bring about positive influence if found in that sector. Hence, they deserve some special mention and needed to be highlighted, to make it easy to identify at a glance.

8.3. The remaining 6 Warrior Division (六仪), are like the 6 army divisions each lead by a warrior, which hides away the hidden leader/general (甲) which is why the title 遁甲 comes about because it is hidden and protected by the 6 army divisions. This is so that the enemy will not know where the leader/general is actually hidden. In order for the enemy to find out, they will have to defeat the 6 army division and 3 advisers/strategist who protects the leader/general.

8.4. Each character is represented by our Geomancy.Net's Ba Zi Ten Heavenly Stem image:- 

8.4.1. Which on it's own already tells you the yin & yang, the element of the character. So that one character itself is highly informative. As such, we decided not to add anymore text details. Also, in Sector Gua 2, it also needs to house the 9th star (found in the center sector), into that sector. So there is very little space left if too much text details was added. 

8.5. Each of these Heaven Warriors and Earth Warriors can represent a person or characteristics. Yi (乙) represents Doctor/Woman/Wife. In looking at health / illness issues, Yi is the doctor that is much needed in curing the illness. And if the doctor is not favourable to the illness sector, then it means the illness won't be able to be cured. So this useful information is layout at the bottom of each of the character image.

8.6. Each of these Heaven Warriors and Earth Warriors, while they represent a human representation (doctor/woman etc), they can also represents such additional interpretations (wealth/grave etc). So again, they are used together to provide a broader picture and interpretations.

8.7. Last but not least, the Interpretations at the bottom of the these two Heaven and Earth Warriors represents the 81 unique interpretations of the warriors when found interacting together. Again, you can see at a glance if the interaction brings about auspicious or inauspicious relationship. Each also is represented by a 4 character Chinese Couplet (such as 青龙逃走 - ie Green Dragon Escaping). Given it is just too complicated to literally translate the titles (some often don't have an easy English term for it), I decided to leave that detail in Chinese. Anyway, it is just one of the names given to each of when each of the the two symbols are together.

乙 辛 - 青龙逃走 - will likely have death or loss of wealth, slave abduction, forced labour, even animals will be injured. If person seeking is a married woman, will mean that that woman is escaping from some man.
 

9. There are still many other indicators or factors, but it would be too complicated to include them all in the basic Qi Men Dun Jia Chart. Some are needed only during the interpretation so I don't think I want to show every detail as it will make the chart too complicated. So these are basic information that is often needed to allow a professional to interpret the relationships to focus on the interpreting the signs. 

10. As you can see, I have careful thought out the best way to re-design this QMDJ layout for our end user's usage. It has undergone several revisions and fine tuning to finally decide on this layout design.

11. With so many indicators, there can be many interpretations depending on what is the area of focus, and how the other indicators relate to it. Hence, while we are aware of some books or chart available on this. Often that not, you will find that they are confusing or not easy to understand or interpret.

12. Most of the time, they are based on depending on each of the unique possible chart such as the 540 yin and 540 yang dun charts. Thus, often requiring a reference book to understand what each chart mean. Rather than understanding the fundamental concepts of each indicator, and then interpreting it as they present itself. So that you can interpret it in any situation, place or time.

13. This is why we decided not to rush to release our QMDJ report, even though we do use it in our back-end analysis. We rather wait until all our older tools like our Ba Zi report is upgraded, before getting our Qi Men Dun Jia Divinity Chart available for our end users.

14. As you can tell, it is worth the wait. We put all our years of experience into making our Qi Men Dun Jia Divinity Chart a very easy to understand and comprehensive and power divinity tool. Finally, users will soon gain access to the most powerful divinity tool that can help you make better strategic decisions by finding the right time and moment to do certain things.

Meanwhile, while waiting for our QMDJ Chart, check out our newly revamp Ba Zi Premium report as well!

Hope you are as excited about our upcoming Geomancy.Net's Qi Men Dun Jia (奇门遁甲) Divinity Chart as we are!

Updated initial post with an updated version of the demo report, based on v16.8:-

URL: https://www.geomancy.net/demoreports/bazi_v16_demo/qmdj_with_bazi_divinity_chart_v16.8.html

This version includes:-

• improved background/text colours, to make the information more readable.
• Added Yin & Yang at the bottom left of each compass so that, can see the yin & yang interaction of the 4 compasses.
• More interpretation analysis added and coded into the system.
• This QMDJ version is now incorporated seamlessly into our Ba Zi Premium v16.8 report.
• Seasonal Calendar difference is also now shown if there is a difference between the Lunar Calendar vs Season Month (which usually affects the Month/Year Pillar). Seasonal calendar is used where necessary.

Pretty much, the QMDJ basic chart is now ready for us to focus on the more complex interpretation analysis modules and to enhance some of our existing reports such as the Yearly, Daily Forecast analysis.

Warmest Regards
Robert Lee

 

FYI, for now the bazi reference report's bazi chart will show the seasonal calendar difference which I developed for the QMDJ report. This way should have less queries about the difference.
