When the Heavenly Stem Geng is on the Heavenly Plate and the Earthly Stem Wu is on the Earthly Plate, it is called Heavenly Yi Suppresses the Palace. The inauspicious metal Tai Bai (Geng) suppresses the Chief (Zhi Fu) noble, indicating that noble energy is trapped. All endeavors are ill-advised. This is a major inauspicious formation, best to remain still and avoid action.
Heavenly Plate Geng + Earthly Plate Wu
Geng added to Zhi Fu, Heavenly Yi Suppresses; Zhi Fu added to Geng, Heavenly Yi Flies.
Heavenly Yi Suppresses the Palace is formed when the Heavenly Stem Geng is on the Heavenly Plate and the Earthly Stem Wu is on the Earthly Plate. Wu is the stem of the Heavenly Yi Chief (Zhi Fu) – in Dun Jia, Jia Zi Wu leads the six Jia, and Wu represents the position of the noble marshal. Geng is Tai Bai, the most inauspicious metal in Qimen, signifying obstruction, conflict, and legal disputes. When the inauspicious metal Tai Bai (Geng) directly suppresses the Chief (Zhi Fu) from the Heavenly Plate, the noble is restrained by the malevolent deity and cannot move, hence the name Heavenly Yi Suppresses the Palace. The principle of this formation lies in this suppression: the presiding deity is constrained, and the entire situation loses its central guidance, leading to a very severe judgment – all endeavors are ill-advised, indicating great misfortune. In terms of auspiciousness and inauspiciousness, it is a severe inauspicious formation: attempting anything at this time will likely encounter strong resistance; seeking help will find the noble unable to protect themselves, thus powerless to assist. It is the counterpart to Chief Flies from the Palace (Wu added to Geng), and the ancient texts mention both 'suppression' and 'flying' together, indicating that both parties (host and guest) are at a disadvantage in military engagements. If a Three Wonders and an auspicious door are in the same palace, the severity of the inauspiciousness may be slightly mitigated, but it only offers temporary relief and does not change the overall situation. Note that if it occurs on a Geng year, month, day, or hour, the inauspiciousness is compounded, and one is prone to making mistakes. If the palace falls into Emptiness (Kong Wang), major issues may dissipate, and disputes may become difficult to form. When encountering this formation, the only course of action is to remain still, avoid its sharp edge, and wait for the Chief to be freed and the formation to change before attempting to advance.
Job seeking and promotions are completely blocked at this time. Your support system is ineffective, and competitors are strong. It is not advisable to resign, contend for positions, or directly confront powerful individuals; remain calm, solidify your current work, and wait for a more opportune window to act.
Financial luck is strongly suppressed. Large investments, mergers, acquisitions, or business openings initiated at this time are likely to encounter obstacles or losses. Preserving capital is the top priority; avoid leverage and large projects. If someone aggressively enters to share profits, it is better to temporarily retreat.
Relationships face strong resistance, possibly from powerful elders opposing the union or strong rivals interfering. Forcing the issue will only lead to mutual harm. Important events like proposals and engagements should be postponed. First stabilize the relationship itself, and address external obstacles when the time is right.
Beware of external injuries, surgical risks, and acute flare-ups in health, especially injuries from metal or stone. Non-essential surgeries should not be scheduled at this time. Exercise extreme caution when driving or operating machinery. For those with chronic illnesses, be prepared for sudden changes, and family members should have contingency plans.
Travel is highly inauspicious, indicating blocked roads, conflicts, disputes, and accidental injuries. If possible, reschedule important long-distance travel. If travel is unavoidable, avoid dangerous routes and night travel, do not argue with others along the way, and ensure ample safety margins.
Opponents in lawsuits are strong and often influential; initiating litigation at this time is like throwing an egg against a rock. It is advisable to avoid confrontation, seek mediation, and negotiate first. If already sued, maintain procedural stability, avoid escalating conflicts, and focus efforts on preparing evidence and choosing the right timing.
