When the Heavenly Stem Ji (己) is above the Earthly Stem Xin (辛), dark earth covers hidden metal, indicating a person in hiding or strange occurrences in the home. Those in high positions should avoid drawing attention, while ordinary households experience unrest and anxiety.
Heavenly Stem Ji (己) + Earthly Stem Xin (辛)
The 'Wandering Soul Enters the Tomb' formation is constituted by the Heavenly Stem Ji (己) above the Earthly Stem Xin (辛). Ji (己) represents yin earth, a deity of tombs and obscurity. Xin (辛) represents yin metal, known as the 'Heavenly Prison' stem, signifying mistakes and penalties. When Ji (己) earth is superimposed on Xin (辛) metal, the earth obscures the metal's light, like a soul losing its way and mistakenly entering a tomb, hence the name 'Wandering Soul Enters the Tomb'. The principle of this formation lies in the superposition of two yin elements: the obscurity of Ji (己) meeting the culpability of Xin (辛), leading to a complete loss of light. Therefore, the judgment states that 'important people go into hiding, and ordinary households experience evil disturbances.' Those in high positions often avoid suspicion and hide, not daring to show themselves, while ordinary households experience strange and unsettling events, leading to widespread panic and suspicion. This is an inauspicious formation, but its negativity lies in obscurity and disturbance, not in immediate disaster or warfare. It is most potent when divining about residences, indicating household unrest and troubled dreams. For illness, it suggests unclear causes and mental disorientation. For people, it means the person in question is hiding and uncommunicative. If accompanied by the Three Auspicious Gates or auspicious stars, it can be interpreted as a temporary retreat for self-preservation, a strategy of advancing by retreating. If it encounters inauspicious gates, the obscurity deepens, and strange events become frequent. Note that if the palace falls into 'Void' (空亡), the strange occurrences are often false alarms; stabilizing one's mind and improving the living environment can resolve most of the issues.
In the workplace, it's better to be hidden than exposed. Drawing attention now can lead to unwarranted trouble, and management often experiences covert changes. It's not advisable to contend for positions or seek recognition, nor to inquire about internal matters. Focus on your duties, maintain a low profile, and wait for clarity before pursuing advancement.
Financial paths are obscure and unclear. One might encounter projects with dubious origins or be secretly manipulated. Firmly refuse to engage in ventures you don't understand, and be especially wary of secretive businesses introduced by acquaintances. For existing investments, observe calmly, do not add more funds, and do not publicize.
The other person's thoughts are deeply hidden, appearing and disappearing, hot and cold, making the relationship feel like looking at flowers through a fog. Pressuring or questioning will only make them retreat further. It's advisable to give each other space and observe if their words and actions align. Guard against someone secretly stirring up trouble.
Often manifests as discomfort with no clear medical cause: insomnia, restless dreams, mental disorientation, unexplained fatigue. First, undergo a systematic physical examination to rule out organic problems, then adjust routines and emotions. If the living environment is dark and damp, improve lighting and ventilation as soon as possible.
Prone to getting lost or taking wrong turns, especially at night. Accommodation often has unsettling minor issues. Avoid traveling late at night and staying in remote hotels. Secure documents and valuables, inform family of your itinerary, and traveling with companions is safest.
Key figures in the lawsuit avoid appearing, witnesses are unreachable, and the opposing party delays and evades, making the case shrouded in mystery. Aggressive tactics are ineffective. It's advisable to obtain evidence through formal procedures and apply for public notification. Guard against covert manipulation by others and keep backup plans.
