Heaven Plate Geng (庚) on Earth Plate Ren (壬). The Metal of Tai Bai sinks into the great waters of Tian Luo, losing all direction. It signifies getting lost on long journeys, difficulty in communication between men and women, and delayed, fruitless endeavors. The main manifestations are loss of contact and getting lost.
Heaven Plate Geng (庚) + Earth Plate Ren (壬)
Geng (庚) is the inauspicious metal of Tai Bai, and Ren (壬) is the water of Tian Luo (Heavenly Net). When Heaven Plate Geng (庚) is on Earth Plate Ren (壬), the metal energy drains into the great waters, like a sharp blade sinking into a river, losing all its power. This is called Shang Ge. The principle of this formation lies in draining without restraint: Geng metal encountering Ren water means metal generates water, leading to a draining of energy. The inauspicious nature is not removed, and direction is already lost, hence it signifies getting lost, obstruction, and lack of communication. Ancient interpretations state that it means getting lost on long journeys and difficulty in communication between men and women. The core meaning is loss of contact and getting lost: a person loses direction on a journey, and an endeavor loses communication midway. The inauspiciousness of this formation is not in direct conflict or attack, but in delay and attrition: plans are long undecided, travelers are long overdue, and letters are long undelivered. Its severity is slightly less than Bai Hu Gan Ge (White Tiger Dry Formation), but it is extremely vexing. When analyzing a chart, observe the palace it falls into: if it falls into Kan Palace (坎宫) where water is strong, the phenomenon of getting lost is intensified; if it falls into Gen Palace (艮宫) where water is restrained by earth, there is a solution amidst the obstruction. If it obtains the Three Auspicious Doors, the loss of contact is often temporary; with Inauspicious Doors, communication is completely lost. If it encounters Kong Wang (Void), it indicates false information or an empty address. For inquiries about finding people, objects, waiting for news, or long journeys, if this formation appears, first conclude that there will be no immediate whereabouts, then deduce traces from the direction of the palace. For endeavors, it is advisable to pause progress, first sort out communication and pathways. Before the direction is clear, any effort will be wasted.
Job applications often sink without a trace, and there is usually no response after interviews. For those employed, project direction is unclear, and requests and reports are delayed at every level, with information distorted by the time it reaches them. It is advisable to proactively confirm information channels from multiple sources, rather than passively waiting along a single line.
For wealth, it signifies losing the path to wealth, opaque information on investment targets, and funds in transit taking a long time to arrive. Money lent out is difficult to recover, and the whereabouts of those who owe money are uncertain. Avoid investing in projects with unclear details recently. For existing investments, first clarify account statements and vouchers.
Relationships are characterized by loss of contact and coldness. The other party's replies are slow, and their thoughts are hard to fathom, especially in long-distance relationships, where difficulty in communication perfectly matches this formation. At this time, questioning or pressuring will only worsen the situation. Maintain a stable communication line, give each other space to buffer, and discuss deeply after the pattern shifts.
Illnesses are characterized by unclear diagnoses, with repeated visits to doctors yielding no definitive conclusions. It relates to kidney, bladder, fluid metabolism, and symptoms of mental confusion. For medical treatment, it is advisable to choose a large hospital for a systematic examination, and avoid trying scattered folk remedies back and forth, which can drag out the illness into a perplexing situation.
Travel is characterized by getting lost, delays, and interruptions to the itinerary. Minor mishaps like navigation failures and taking wrong turns are constant. In severe cases, one may lose contact while traveling. Before a long journey, clearly communicate the route, accommodation, and emergency contacts. Maintain smooth communication during the journey, and avoid taking shortcuts or traveling at night.
Lawsuits are characterized by stalled cases, inability to contact key witnesses, legal documents sinking without a trace, and procedures being repeatedly delayed. Initiating a lawsuit proactively will likely not make progress. It is advisable to first complete basic aspects such as delivery addresses and evidence chains, ensuring that people can be found and documents can be delivered.
