When the Heavenly Plate Yi (乙) is above the Earthly Plate Ji (己), the Day Qi is trapped in obscure earth, like morning light disappearing into thick fog. This indicates ambiguity, obscurity, and hidden control in affairs. If it encounters an inauspicious door, it is definitely inauspicious. If it encounters the Open Door, it transforms into the auspicious Earth Escape formation.
Heavenly Plate Yi (乙) + Earthly Plate Ji (己)
Yi (乙) is the Day Qi, belonging to Yin Wood. Ji (己) is the Earthly Gate, belonging to Yin, damp, and obscure earth. When the Heavenly Plate Yi (乙) descends upon the Earthly Plate Ji (己), the Day Qi is enveloped by fog, and its brightness is obscured, hence the name "Day Qi Enters Fog." The principle of this formation is that Yi Wood (乙) normally restrains Ji Earth (己), implying one should be able to overcome others. However, Ji Earth (己) is lowly, damp, and obscure, causing Yi Wood (乙) to fall into it, like a person walking in thick fog, unable to discern direction. This indicates that matters are often ambiguous and unclear, the truth is obscured, and one is prone to being secretly harmed by petty people or misled by false information. In terms of auspiciousness and inauspiciousness, this is an inauspicious formation, with its inauspiciousness lying in obscurity rather than intensity. If it encounters inauspicious doors like Injury (伤), Death (死), or Fright (惊), the inauspiciousness manifests, warning against conspiracies, harm, and hidden losses. If it encounters the Open Door (开门), it transforms into Earth Escape (地遁) (Open Door + Yi + Ji), turning the inauspicious into great auspiciousness, suitable for acting covertly and advancing by retreating. To interpret this formation, first look at the door: an inauspicious door means inauspiciousness, while the Open Door turns it auspicious, which is a crucial distinction. Precautions: Do not easily express opinions, sign documents, or pay money before matters are clear. Verify information from multiple sources before making decisions. If it encounters Emptiness (空亡), the fog will eventually dissipate, so it is advisable to wait for information to become clear. If Yi (乙) falls into a Tomb Palace (墓宫) or is constrained by a door, the deception is deeper, and major decisions require repeated verification to prevent missteps.
Workplace information is not transparent. There are hidden arrangements behind personnel changes and job reassignments, beware of being sidelined or taking responsibility for others. It is not advisable to demand the truth or openly take sides at this time. If the Open Door is present, one can secretly plan and wait for an opportunity.
Financial paths are ambiguous and unclear. Project accounts are vague, promises are ambiguous, and investment targets often have hidden aspects, making it easy to fall into traps. Do not invest in anything that is not clear. If the Open Door is present, one can discreetly accumulate and make hidden arrangements, waiting for the right price.
There are hidden aspects in relationships. The other person's thoughts are hard to fathom, or there are hidden pasts and relationships. The ambiguous period may be prolonged and difficult to settle. It is advisable to verify from multiple sources before committing. For those with suspicions, gather solid evidence before confronting.
Symptoms are ambiguous and difficult to diagnose. Examination results are vague, and the cause of illness is unclear for a time, making misdiagnosis or missed diagnosis likely. It is advisable to seek a second opinion at another hospital and undergo thorough examinations, especially guarding against hidden illnesses like spleen and stomach dampness or liver qi stagnation becoming chronic problems.
Travel often involves fog-like obstacles: flight delays, unclear routes, navigation failures, and beware of being deceived during the journey. Be especially cautious when traveling at night, in foggy weather, or on unfamiliar roads. If possible, reschedule. If the Open Door is present, travel can still be successful.
The case has hidden aspects. The opposing party may have unpresented evidence or be acting covertly, and one's own side is easily misled. Do not rush to respond to the lawsuit or trust verbal settlement promises. First, thoroughly investigate the facts. If the Open Door is present, one can secretly gather evidence to turn the tide.
