When Heavenly Stem Gui (癸) is on the Heavenly Plate and Earthly Stem Gui (癸) is on the Earthly Plate, the two Gui overlap like a net spread wide, indicating that travelers lose companions, illness and lawsuits cause harm, and all matters are constrained. It is advisable to remain still and wait for the right time.
Heavenly Plate Gui (癸) + Earthly Plate Gui (癸)
Heaven's Net Spread Wide is an inauspicious formation (凶格) formed by Heavenly Plate Gui (癸) over Earthly Plate Gui (癸), also known as the Fuyin (伏吟) formation of Gui. Gui (癸) is the 'Heaven's Net Star,' belonging to Yin Water, signifying obscurity, entanglement, and entrapment. When two Gui (癸) occupy the same palace, it's like a net on top of a net, spread wide in all directions, symbolizing a person trapped in a net, unable to advance or retreat. The key to this formation lies in Fuyin: the same Heavenly Stems overlapping, causing stagnation of qi, intensifying the obscure nature. Therefore, all matters become blocked and entangled, difficult to progress. The judgment for this formation is that travelers lose companions, and both illness and lawsuits cause harm—those traveling abroad become separated from their companions, and communication is difficult; those suffering from illness linger and are hard to cure; those involved in lawsuits are burdened and suffer losses. Its inauspiciousness primarily manifests as 'constraint,' often involving delays, entanglements, and restrictions, rather than sudden calamities. Its severity is less than that of the Geng (庚) formations, but its duration is long. When encountered in divination, action will only tighten the entanglement, while stillness and waiting can resolve it. If the palace falls into Kongwang (空亡 - Emptiness), the net has a break, which paradoxically indicates an escape from the predicament, making it a rare formation that favors Kongwang. If it also encounters inauspicious doors or stars, the harm from illness and lawsuits intensifies. The way to resolve it is to scale back operations, pause expansion, and wait for the time stem to change before seeking advancement.
Job seeking and promotions are constrained. Resumes and reports submitted are like stones sinking into the sea, encountering layers of restrictions with no response. It is not advisable to change jobs or volunteer for new tasks at this time. It is better to hold onto the current position and improve internal skills. If the palace falls into Kongwang, the constraints loosen, and one can wait for the next opportunity to act.
Financial paths are like falling into a net. Investments and loans are easily trapped, and capital recovery is delayed and repetitive. It is not advisable to start new projects or increase investments. It is better to collect receivables and cut expenses. If one forcefully enters the market, it often leads to deeper entanglement and financial loss due to illness or lawsuits.
Relationships often involve entanglement, where people are tied to each other but struggle to progress, or old relationships linger and are hard to break off. For marriage and relationships, it indicates delays. It is not advisable to propose or register marriage at this time. It is better to first resolve old issues, and emotions can only become clear after the formation changes.
Indicates prolonged illness that is difficult to cure, especially kidney-related, urinary, and emotional depression issues, with recurring and lingering conditions. When encountered in illness divination, one should not delay or take chances. It is advisable to seek medical attention as soon as possible and adhere to the treatment course. For chronic patients, beware of complications. Recuperation focuses on clearing qi circulation.
This formation is most unfavorable for travel. The judgment clearly states that travelers lose companions—fellow travelers separate midway, itineraries are obstructed, and communication is difficult. Long-distance travel should be postponed. If one must travel, stay with companions, avoid traveling at night or by water. If the palace falls into Kongwang, obstacles are slightly reduced.
Lawsuits fall into a stalemate. Both illness and lawsuits cause harm. Both plaintiffs and defendants are burdened, consuming time and money, making a quick resolution difficult. It is not advisable to initiate lawsuits. For those already involved, mediation and settlement are the best strategies. Forcing confrontation will only tighten the net, leading to mutual loss.
