When the Heavenly Stem Ji (己) is superimposed on the Earthly Stem Ji (己), it is a double Fuyin (伏吟) of Ji, known as 'Earth Gate Encounters Ghost'. This signifies a叠加 of obscure and murky energy, which is most inauspicious for health matters. For undertakings, it indicates repeated obstructions. It is advisable to remain still and wait for the opportune moment, avoiding impulsive actions.
Heavenly Stem Ji (己) + Earthly Stem Ji (己)
The 'Earth Gate Encounters Ghost' formation occurs when the Heavenly Stem Ji (己) is superimposed on the Earthly Stem Ji (己), representing a Fuyin (伏吟) pattern of the Six Ji. Ji (己) is Yin Earth, symbolizing the earth gate, gardens, tombs, and obscure private affairs. 'Ghost' here refers to stagnant and unclear energy. When two Ji (己) occupy the same palace, it's like darkness upon darkness, akin to wandering into a graveyard at night, hence the name 'Earth Gate Encounters Ghost'. The key to this formation is Fuyin (伏吟): when the Heavenly and Earthly Stems are identical, the qi mechanism is completely stagnant. Ji (己) Earth inherently signifies obscurity, and its superposition makes blockages even more severe, hindering all matters. This is an inauspicious formation, its negativity stemming from stagnation rather than conflict: it is most unfavorable for health, indicating severe and lingering illness. Ancient interpretations were very strong; today, it is understood as a dangerous illness requiring prompt medical attention. For general matters, everything will be unsuccessful, requests will go unanswered, and plans will make no progress. For lost items, it means they are deeply hidden and hard to find; for travelers, it indicates being stranded and unable to return. When making judgments, note the levels of severity: if supported by the three auspicious gates (Kai, Xiu, Sheng), the inauspiciousness can be reduced, merely indicating delay. If it encounters the Death Gate (Si Men), Shock Gate (Jing Men), or the palace is constrained by the gate, the inauspiciousness is compounded. If the palace falls into Emptiness (Kong Wang), it suggests the matter will dissipate or be unresolved, which might not necessarily lead to disaster. Overall, the best strategy is to remain still and wait for the right time.
Job applications and promotions will be completely stalled. Resumes submitted and applications filed are likely to fall into oblivion. It is not advisable to change jobs or volunteer for new tasks at this time; it is more stable to maintain your current position and perfect your existing work. Regarding statements about job adjustments, it is better to postpone them.
Financial flow is blocked, income is slow, and investment projects are likely to be dragged into a stalemate. It is not advisable to open new stores, sign new contracts, or increase investment. Old debts are hard to collect, and collection efforts should be planned for the long term. Focus on maintaining existing assets and taking inventory, waiting for the pattern to change before acting.
Relationships enter a stagnant period, with both parties keeping their thoughts to themselves, allowing misunderstandings to fester in the dark. Declarations of love, proposals, and reconciliation attempts are unlikely to receive a response. For married couples, beware of prolonged cold wars. It is advisable to proactively discuss issues, but avoid pressuring the other party for an immediate response.
This formation is most inauspicious for health, indicating severe and lingering illness. Particular vigilance is needed for the spleen, stomach, abdomen, and chronic old ailments. Absolutely avoid procrastination and observation; seek prompt and proper medical attention and re-examination for diagnosis. For elderly patients with chronic illnesses, family members need to pay extra attention to changes.
Travel will encounter many obstacles, with a high probability of rescheduling, delays, or last-minute cancellations. The journey itself will be dull, and things will not go smoothly. Non-essential long-distance travel is advised to be postponed. If travel is necessary, allow ample time and avoid traveling at night or on remote routes.
Lawsuits will be prolonged, with delays at every stage of filing, hearings, and enforcement, making it difficult to achieve results in the short term. Initiating lawsuits proactively is unfavorable; it is better to settle through mediation or reconciliation. For those already in litigation, prepare for a long haul, gather evidence, and wait for the opportune moment.
