Recently, I had an early morning flight and this nagging feeling crept in ? check the Qi Men chart.
It was already late. My bags were packed. Everything was in order. But that inner voice would not rest.
So, I sat down and pulled up the chart.
If you are a founder, CEO, or entrepreneur who values clarity before action ? this might be the most unexpected strategic tool you have not explored yet.
Qi Men forecasting is not about superstition. It is about making smarter, smoother decisions ? and knowing what is coming before it arrives.
The Basics: Qi Men Forecasting in Two Boxes
A simple forecast involves two palaces (or boxes):
- Asker Box ? This is you (or whoever is asking the question)
- Outcome Box ? This represents the event or result
There are 8 palaces ? North, Northeast, East, Southeast, South, Southwest, West, and Northwest ? and each is linked to an element:
- North ? Water
- Northeast ? Earth
- East & Southeast ? Wood
- South ? Fire
- Southwest ? Earth
- West & Northwest ? Metal
Elemental Interaction: What You Should Look For
Productive Cycle (Positive Support):
Wood ? Fire ? Earth ? Metal ? Water ? (back to) Wood
In forecasting, we prefer when the Outcome Box produces the Asker Box.
That means the event supports the person asking the question.
Controlling Cycle (Obstacle or Stress):
- Metal controls Wood
- Water controls Fire
- Fire controls Metal
- Earth controls Water
- Wood controls Earth
This indicates tension, obstacles, or outcomes that oppose the asker.
Quick example:
If the Asker is North (Water) and the Outcome is West (Metal), great ? Metal produces Water.
But if the Outcome is Southwest (Earth), that is not ideal. Earth controls Water. A sign the outcome may not go as planned.
This is a basic Qi Men check ? no advanced techniques like host vs guest, constellations, or secret stems here.
My Chart, My Decision
???????????
In my case, I was the Asker, sitting in the North palace (Water).
The Outcome? It was in the Southwest (Earth) ? which controls Water.
Not only that ? the chart was a Fu Yin configuration. In simple terms, nothing moves. Nothing changes. It?s a standstill.
The message was clear: This trip may not happen as planned.
This trip was important ? not just for me, but for my client as well.
It had taken quite a bit of scheduling, rescheduling, and coordination to fix the dates of my visit.
Even though it was late at night, I decided to message her. She responded immediately. I told her what the chart said.
Her reply? ?What if we do not go through with our original plan? What if we find another way??
She offered a Plan B ? I could fly to a nearby city, and she would send her car to pick me up.
And here?s the kicker: That same Southwest box, though controlling, had some interesting signs ?
- Death Door ? often feared, but also symbolic of rebirth
- Chief Deity ? a strong, commanding figure
- A helpful envoy in position
So yes ? the original plan was ?killed.? But it gave birth to a smoother, better one.
I took a different flight. Her car met me. I reached my destination
without stress.
Meanwhile, the original flight was delayed? then cancelled.
I watched the announcements roll in as passengers sighed, argued, and lined up for luggage recovery.
Time lost. Money lost. Energy wasted.
Because You Do Not Have Time for Maybes
You have big goals. You value your time. You want smooth execution ? not last-minute chaos, delays, or second-guessing.
That is exactly why you need tools like Qi Men.
This is not about mysticism ? it is about clarity, foresight, and better decision-making.
Whether you are planning a launch, expanding a team, investing, or even scheduling important travel ? Qi Men gives you the edge.
Imagine asking the right question before taking action? and knowing what to expect before it happens.
If smooth, strategic moves matter to you ? it is time to start using tools that work with time, not against it.
You are the kind of person Qi Men was made for.
