When the Heavenly Plate Yi (乙) is superimposed on the Earthly Plate Yi (乙), the Day Qi is self-Fuyin. This indicates a heavy accumulation of wood energy that is stagnant, suggesting that matters will repeatedly stall and progress slowly. It is not advisable to seek out dignitaries or fame; instead, one should remain content with their current situation and patiently await an opportune moment.
Formation Conditions
Heavenly Plate Yi (乙) + Earthly Plate Yi (乙)
Explanation
Fuyin (伏吟) refers to the phenomenon where the Heavenly Plate Stem is the same as the Earthly Plate Stem, indicating stagnation and no movement. Yi (乙) is the Day Qi, belonging to Yin Wood. When the Heavenly Plate Yi (乙) superimposes on the Earthly Plate Yi (乙), both Yi (乙) are in the same palace, forming the Day Qi Fuyin. The superposition of two Yi (乙) wood elements signifies an accumulation of wood energy, a harmonious but non-interactive state, where the energy mechanism circles in place: 'Fu' (伏) means stagnant, and 'Yin' (吟) means groaning, hence it indicates prolonged, repetitive, and vexing matters. The person involved often feels a desire to move but is unable to. In terms of auspiciousness and inauspiciousness, this is a Neutral Formation (平格), not considered greatly inauspicious—Yi (乙) is, after all, one of the Three Noble Qi. For matters of maintaining the status quo or continuing old affairs, slow and steady progress is possible. However, for matters of pioneering, seeking fame, meeting dignitaries, or competition, progress will be difficult, and forced efforts will mostly result in going in circles. If the palace is prosperous and vibrant, there is stability in maintaining the status quo; if the palace is weak and stagnant, the vexation is more severe. Precautions: Encountering the three auspicious gates (Kai, Xiu, Sheng) can reduce the stagnation; encountering inauspicious gates will worsen the blockage. If it falls into Emptiness (空亡), extreme stillness leads to a desire for movement, conversely indicating that change is imminent, and one can plan ahead. If it also encounters Gate Constraint (门迫), the dilemma of advancing or retreating becomes even more pronounced. For dynamic matters such as travel, taking office, or starting a business, it is advisable to choose another time; using stillness to counter movement is in line with the nature of this formation.
Categorized Judgments
Career and Official Position
Progress in job seeking or promotion is stagnant; applications and interviews often yield no response. It is not advisable to actively seek out superiors or rashly change jobs at this time. It is better to maintain the current position, solidify existing tasks, and await a change in energy before planning new ventures.
Wealth and Business
Financial luck is stable, income remains unchanged. New investments, opening stores, or expansion are difficult to initiate; forced efforts will mostly result in going in circles. It is advisable to maintain existing businesses and assets, and not to leverage or pursue new projects.
Love and Relationships
Relationships are in a stagnant and repetitive state, neither advancing nor retreating, with old topics recurring. Proposals and confessions are unlikely to receive a response. For reconciliation, due to Fuyin indicating old matters, there is a slight chance; it is advisable to patiently accompany, and avoid rushing or pressing.
Health and Illness
Chronic illnesses linger and recur; they are difficult to cure in the short term but also unlikely to worsen. Symptoms mainly include chronic diseases, stagnant energy, and emotional vexation. It is advisable to continue treatment according to the original plan and avoid frequently changing doctors or treatment methods.
Travel and Movement
Travel encounters many obstacles; itineraries are prone to delays, rescheduling, or sudden cancellations, and even if one goes, matters are difficult to accomplish. If travel is unavoidable, it is advisable to shorten the trip and take familiar routes. Those awaiting travelers will not return soon and are likely still stranded in their original location.
Lawsuits and Litigation
Lawsuits drag on indefinitely, with repetitive procedures and delayed court hearings. Proactive efforts will yield no breakthroughs. It is advisable to delay and await changes, striving for negotiation and settlement, rather than forcefully accelerating the litigation process at this time, to avoid wasting time and legal fees.
