When Heavenly Stem Wu (戊) is above Earthly Stem Geng (庚), the Jia wood (甲) that Wu (戊) is hidden within is overcome by Geng metal (庚). The venerable Chief Guard is forced to fly away from its original position, indicating an unstable foundation. Auspicious matters become inauspicious, and inauspicious matters become even worse.
Heavenly Stem Wu (戊) + Earthly Stem Geng (庚)
Chief Guard Flying Palace refers to Heavenly Stem Wu (戊) landing on Earthly Stem Geng (庚). Wu (戊) hides Jia Zi (甲子), and Jia (甲) is the head of the Ten Heavenly Stems and the venerable Chief Guard. Geng (庚) is Yang metal, which is the Seven Killings (七杀) of Jia wood (甲). When Heavenly Stem Wu (戊) lands on Earthly Stem Geng (庚), it is equivalent to Jia wood (甲) directly sitting on its khắc (克) star. The venerable deity is forced to leave its position and fly to another palace, hence the name. The principle of this formation is that the Earthly Stem overcomes the Heavenly Stem, and specifically, a killing force overcomes a venerable one: Geng metal (庚) attacks from below, leaving Jia wood (甲) without a stable foundation. This symbolizes that the foundation of the main person is shaken, and trouble arises from within. Therefore, the judgment states that auspicious matters become inauspicious, and inauspicious matters become even worse—good things can change at the last minute, and bad things are exacerbated. This is an inauspicious formation, indicating being passively controlled, with many sudden changes and reversals. These changes are often triggered by strong external forces, as Geng (庚) symbolizes weapons, powerful individuals, or opponents, arriving with fierce momentum. Precautions: This formation is a counterpart to Heavenly Yi Hidden Palace (天乙伏宫), which is Heavenly Stem Geng (庚) above Earthly Stem Wu (戊); both indicate a displacement of upper and lower positions. When using the Qimen chart, it is crucial to avoid initiating actions; the more assertive one is, the more severe the setback. If it encounters an inauspicious door or a penalizing clash, the disaster will be even worse. Even with an auspicious door and auspicious star, it can only reduce the harm, not turn it auspicious. It is advisable to avoid confrontation, adopt a defensive posture, and wait for the formation to pass before making plans.
Career foundation is unstable. Agreed-upon positions or promotions may change at the last minute. Be wary of powerful rivals or new arrivals taking your place. Being overly assertive at this time will only invite suppression. It's important to scale back expansion plans and protect core business and achievements.
A major ominous sign for wealth: investments may face strong harvesting, contracts may be unilaterally torn up, and accounts receivable may be forcefully delayed. Do not leverage or gamble against powerful parties. Securing profits and diversifying assets are the most practical choices under this formation.
Relationships face strong impact. Third-party interference, strong family opposition, or a sudden change in a partner's attitude are all possible. Confrontation will only accelerate a breakup. It's better to take a step back, cool down, maintain boundaries without confrontation, and discuss after the clashing energy passes.
Beware of injuries from sharp objects, falls, bone injuries, and damage to the liver and gallbladder. Chronic illnesses are prone to sudden worsening. Avoid non-urgent surgeries. Be extra careful when driving or operating machinery. Seek medical attention immediately if you feel unwell; delaying will be more costly than usual.
Travel is more inauspicious than auspicious. Beware of traffic accidents, luggage being robbed or confiscated. Business trips may also face last-minute changes from the other party. Reschedule if possible. If travel is unavoidable, avoid dangerous roads at night, keep important items separate, and travel with companions.
Lawsuits are in a passive and disadvantageous position. The opposing party is aggressive and uses strong tactics; rushing into battle will lead to losses. This formation advises against initiating lawsuits. If sued, hire a professional lawyer for defense, preserve assets and evidence, and strive for mediation.
