The Rest Gate (休门) meets the Heavenly Stem Ding (丁奇) on the Heavenly Plate, and is located above the Grand Yin (太阴) deity. The essence of the star is concealed by the Yin deity, indicating favorable human relations. It is suitable for seeking talented collaborators, marriage negotiations, and confidential matters.
The Rest Gate and Six Ding together with Grand Yin, for seeking Ren Dun, none surpasses this.
Explanation
Ren Dun (人遁), or 'Human Escape/Concealment,' is formed when the Rest Gate (休门), the Heavenly Stem Ding Qi (丁奇), and the Eight Deity Grand Yin (太阴) are in the same palace. It is one of the Three Escapes (三遁). Ding (丁) is the Star Qi (星奇), representing the essence of the South Pole Star. Grand Yin (太阴) is the deity of protection and concealment. The Rest Gate (休门) signifies rest, human relations, and grace. When the Star Qi (星奇) is in the position of Grand Yin (太阴), it is like a person covered by dark clouds, making them unobservable, symbolizing the benefit of good human relations. The principle of this formation is the convergence of an auspicious gate, an auspicious Qi, and an auspicious deity. The civilized energy of Ding fire is contained and nurtured by Grand Yin, with its sharpness hidden within, thus benefiting human diplomacy and covert planning. This is a highly auspicious formation, suitable for seeking talented individuals, visiting sages, forming alliances, negotiating treaties, and marriage. It is especially beneficial for private and harmonious matters—any legitimate affair that should not be publicized and requires private operation will find this formation most effective. Among the Three Escapes, Tian Dun (天遁) gains opportune timing, Di Dun (地遁) gains favorable location, and Ren Dun (人遁) gains good human relations, each with a different focus. Ren Dun emphasizes achieving things through others, and Grand Yin signifies protection, so plans often receive covert assistance. Precautions: If Ding Qi enters a tomb (入墓) or the Rest Gate is oppressed (受迫), the power of human relations is greatly reduced. If the palace falls into emptiness (空亡), the entrusted person may easily break their promise, and it is advisable to establish a written agreement for matters. Before success, maintain a low profile; publicizing it will break its magic.
