If it was possible to give ‘black and white’ answers, the job of a professional diviner would have been easy. One could just toss a coin for ‘yes’ or ‘no’. The problem is, that our reality is quite complex, so in many cases simple answers just won’t do.
This case study is an example of how making a choice between the A and the B is not always what is needed for creating a positive outcome. In some cases, we need to look for the C. The QMDJ Oracle is a perfect tool for bringing the clarity into complex matters, such as this one.
Recently I have been contacted by a client who wanted to know, whether my divination method was based on QMDJ. I thought it was quite unusual for a client to show preference for a particular divination method. Under the normal circumstances, people just want to get their answers.
After confirming that yes, this is what I use for divination, she went straight into asking for help. She needed to make a choice between two candidates for joined business venture. She could not make up her mind, and this was making her feel anxious.
So, her question was, ‘Which candidate’s more suitable for me as a business partner, A or B?’
This is the chart of the time when the question was asked.
Based on Liu Bo Wen divination method, the candidates are represented by 壬 Ren (partner A) and 辛 Xin (partner B). 壬 Ren is located in 坤 Kun, while 辛 Xin is located in 艮 Gen.
Both palaces show the mix of auspicious and inauspicious components. No wonder the lady is confused.
To be able to give a clear answer, we need to find one key thing, which would tip one of these palaces into the ‘reject’ category. In other words, rather than choosing which one is better, we need to determine which one is worse. In divination regarding partnership, business or personal, it is not about whether the potential candidate is a nice person. It is about the potential to inflict the financial damage or stress.
Candidate A
壬 Ren in 坤 Kun is accompanied by 玄武 Tortoise. It belongs to Yin Water element.
The Tortoise deity represents cunning character, dark emotions, arguments, loss of money or assets. There is also a clash between Tortoise deity (水 Water) and the Scene door (火 Fire). Due to these interactions, anything positive in this palace is negated, and the potential for dishonesty here is real.
Candidate B
辛 Xin in 艮 Gen is accompanied by 腾蛇 Snake, the deity of deceit and evil play. This deity relates to 火Fire element and it supports supernatural forces. For businesses utilizing supernatural forces, such as religious or esoteric practices etc. Snake could be positive.
However, for a ‘normal’ type of business, Snake points towards intrigues and backstabbing. It may also indicate mental problems. Once again, we can see the Fire-Water clash. This time it is between the 火 Fire deity (腾蛇 Snake) and the 水 Water door (休 Rest).
艮 Gen palace is voided, which means that the candidate B is either not in a position to go into partnership, or he is not willing to.
After giving a detailed description of these people’s characters and inclinations, which my client has agreed with, I have given my final recommendation. When choosing between backstabbing and dishonesty, which one do you choose? That’s right, I have recommended neither.
She went silent. Then she asked… ‘So… just to confirm, that we’re talking about the same people… could you please tell me whether they’re both men, women, or a man and a woman? And if you can tell me this, tell me please, which one is which?’
I have confirmed that A is a woman 坤 and B is a man 艮.
She went silent again. After a moment, she said: ‘Correct… but what should I do now? Am I going ever to find a suitable business partner? I have been looking for a while now… Can you tell me – when this is going to happen?’ My answer was that she would meet a suitable candidate in 子Zi December.
Zi corresponds to Kan Palace. The potential candidate will be classy (太阴 Moon), career oriented (开Open), ethical (天心 Heart) and easy to work with 丙辛 (Bing Xin).
丙 Bing controls 辛 Xin. One of the meanings of Xin is error. In this stem combination, it is controlled by Fire, thus mistake gets corrected. This stem combination is auspicious for character, as it represents somebody who can identify the problems, as well as fixing them. As a business partner, this would be a gem!
This stem combination is also one of six transformations: 丙辛 Bing-Xin transforms into 水 Water. There is also a potential of establishing romantic relationship, or a strong emotional bonding with this person.
When we finished the conversation, I could feel how relieved she was. It seemed that I have only confirmed what she has sensed already. Women are intuitive, but when they apply logic to what they feel, things may get extremely confusing.
