When the Heavenly Plate Wu (戊) is superimposed on the Earthly Plate Ding (丁), the Green Dragon (甲) gains the light of the Star Qi (丁) and shines brightly. This formation is highly auspicious for meeting dignitaries and seeking fame, beneficial for examinations, interviews, and gaining recognition. However, if it falls into a 'tomb' or is 'forced' (入墓门迫), it can lead to disputes and trouble.
Heavenly Plate Wu (戊) + Earthly Plate Ding (丁)
Green Dragon Illuminates refers to the Heavenly Plate Wu (戊) superimposing on the Earthly Plate Ding (丁). Wu (戊) represents Jia Zi (甲子), where Jia (甲) is the Green Dragon. Ding (丁) is the Star Qi, whose light is like a candle illuminating the night. Wood (甲) generates Fire (丁), so the Dragon's body is illuminated by the flames, shining brightly, hence the name. The principle of this formation is that the Wood of the Heavenly Plate generates the Fire of the Earthly Plate, with Wood and Fire continuing each other, manifesting as brightness. Therefore, the auspiciousness of this formation is concentrated on reputation, documents, and noble benefactors: meeting dignitaries, seeking official positions, examinations and competitions, and publishing works are all areas where it excels. It is an auspicious formation (吉格) that brings outward brilliance, benefiting fame more than wealth. Compared to 'Green Dragon Returns Head' (青龙返首) which signifies grand new beginnings, this formation leans more towards achieving fame and success through the power of noble benefactors. It is a powerful formation for scholars, students, and those seeking career advancement. Precautions are consistent with the judgments: if it falls into a 'tomb' or is 'forced' (入墓门迫) – meaning Ding Fire enters a 'tomb' palace or the Eight Doors are 'forced' – the light is obscured, brightness turns to dimness, and not only will seeking fame be fruitless, but it will also attract trouble and disputes. In such cases, it is advisable to be discreet and low-key. If it encounters 'empty void' (空亡), fame will be superficial and difficult to materialize. If it is matched with auspicious doors like Kai (开), Xiu (休), or Sheng (生), and further accompanied by auspicious deities like Zhi Fu (值符) or Tai Yin (太阴), the support from noble benefactors will be particularly significant, and it is advisable to actively seek them out.
Beneficial for seeking fame and employment: interviews, competitions,职称评审 (professional title evaluations), and public speaking all have an advantage, making it easy to be noticed and remembered by superiors. Actively visiting dignitaries and asking seniors for introductions yields the best results. If the formation encounters a 'tomb' or is 'forced', exposure may lead to criticism, so it's advisable to postpone stepping forward.
Wealth comes with fame. Earning money through professional reputation, documents, and contracts is smooth. Signing contracts, bidding, and monetizing knowledge are all suitable. Speculative trading is not this formation's strength. First establish your reputation and qualifications, and orders and remuneration will naturally follow.
Relationships are clear. It is advisable to openly express feelings to a desired partner. Marriages introduced by elders or noble benefactors are particularly reliable. Romantic relationships can be made public and meet parents. However, if it encounters a 'tomb' or is 'forced', being ostentatious may lead to gossip, so it's better to delay public announcements.
No major health issues, but prone to minor ailments related to heart fire, eyes, or nerves, such as eye strain or insomnia due to anxiety. For medical treatment, seek renowned doctors and hospitals; a clear diagnosis leads to faster recovery. It is advisable to moderate late-night activities that consume energy and fire, to avoid excessive internal heat.
Travel is smooth, especially beneficial for appointments with dignitaries, receiving awards, or taking examinations. Traveling towards the south adds more brilliance. It's easy to meet helpful people during the journey. If the formation encounters a 'tomb' or is 'forced', be wary of disputes and arguments during the trip, and keep documents and papers safely with you.
Lawsuits have noble benefactors to rely on. If documents and evidence are complete, the chances of winning are high. Engaging reputable lawyers or mediators is effective. It is advisable to follow public and formal procedures. If it encounters a 'tomb' or is 'forced', litigation may instead bring reputational disputes, so reconciliation is preferable if possible.
