When Heavenly Stem Bing (丙) is above Earthly Stem Yi (乙), the Moon Qi meets the Sun Qi, like the sun and moon shining together in parallel in the sky, illuminating everything. This indicates auspiciousness for both public and private endeavors, with smooth progress in both overt and covert plans.
Heavenly Stem Bing (丙) + Earthly Stem Yi (乙)
Yi (乙) is the Sun Qi, and Bing (丙) is the Moon Qi. When Heavenly Stem Bing (丙) is above Earthly Stem Yi (乙), the light of the sun and moon appear together in one palace, hence the name "Sun and Moon in Parallel." The principle of this structure is that Yi (乙) wood generates Bing (丙) fire, meaning the Earthly Plate generates the Heavenly Plate, providing a foundation that supports the facade. The sun shines during the day, and the moon illuminates at night; with both Qi appearing, there is light in both brightness and darkness. Public matters are legitimized by sunlight, and private schemes are guided by moonlight, thus indicating auspiciousness for both public and private endeavors. In terms of auspiciousness and inauspiciousness, this is an auspicious structure, beneficial for matters that require both public and private consideration: one can both apply through formal channels and make private arrangements, with both paths being viable. It is auspicious for seeking fame, wealth, marriage, and travel. When combined with the three auspicious gates (Kai, Xiu, Sheng) and auspicious stars, it indicates both fame and fortune. Precautions: While this structure is auspicious due to its parallel nature, one must also guard against parallel actions leading to chaos—unclear boundaries between public and private matters, making promises to both sides, which can lead to discord. It is advisable to advance matters on separate lines, keeping accounts distinct, and ensuring that public commitments and private arrangements do not undermine each other. If it falls into Emptiness (Kong Wang), the sun and moon lose their luster, and auspicious events are delayed. If Yi (乙) and Bing (丙) fall into a tomb palace or are afflicted by a Gate Clash, their brilliance is obscured, and their auspicious power is halved. It is advisable to choose a prosperous and strong palace for action, so that the light of the sun and moon can fully shine.
Both overt competition and private recommendations can be effective simultaneously, with the two paths not conflicting but rather reinforcing each other, leading to frequent good news regarding promotions and transfers. Cross-departmental collaboration is smooth, and using both official procedures and private communication doubles efficiency.
Both overt and covert wealth are prosperous: salaries and bonuses arrive on time, and income from part-time jobs and private collaborations also increases. It is advisable to plan on two fronts, seeking stability in the main business and growth in side ventures; keeping public and private accounts separate ensures long-term financial prosperity.
Relationships are open and honest yet full of charm; both formal engagements and free love are successful, with approval from both families. It is advisable to publicly announce the relationship and proceed with engagement; for long-distance relationships, both overt and covert communication are smooth, and feelings steadily grow stronger.
Blood and Qi are harmonious, Yin and Yang are balanced, with ample energy during the day and stable sleep at night, making it a good time to regulate one's constitution. Internal and external treatments are most effective when used in parallel; do not delay minor ailments, seek early diagnosis and treatment, and most can recover smoothly.
Both day and night travel are safe; business trips can include personal itineraries, accomplishing two things in one journey. Both traveling with companions and alone are suitable, with east and south directions being particularly auspicious; good networking opportunities arise during the journey, so it is advisable to build good relationships.
Proceeding formally and seeking private mediation in parallel is most advantageous, allowing room for maneuver both inside and outside the courtroom. The party with reason has evidence that can be presented, leading to a high chance of winning; it is advisable to negotiate while litigating, allowing for favorable settlement terms.
