Frequently asked questions

What is Qi Men Dun Jia?

A classical Chinese metaphysical system (one of the Three Styles — 三式) used for choosing the right moment and direction for important actions. It arranges nine stars, eight doors and eight gods into a nine-palace grid, and reads how they interact for a specific time and question.

How accurate is this chart?

It follows the standard textbook 转盘 rules for 阴阳遁, the 三奇六仪 earth plate, stars, doors and gods, with two documented simplifications: the 局数 uses the solar-term table's 上元 value (no 置闰 correction), and the 值使门 is placed with the 值符 at the hour stem. See the education section for details.

Which matter should I choose?

Each matter maps to its traditional 用神: work→开门 (Open Door), love→休门/六合, wealth→生门 (Birth Door), health→天芮星, legal→惊门 (Surprise Door). Choose 'something else' and describe it for a custom reading.

What is Qi Men Dun Jia?

Qi Men Dun Jia (奇门遁甲, "Mysterious Door Hiding Jia") is one of the three great classical Chinese metaphysical arts (三式), alongside Da Liu Ren and Tai Yi. It has been used for over a thousand years to choose the most favorable moment and direction for important undertakings — from military campaigns and building projects to marriages and business decisions.

At its heart is a nine-palace grid based on the Luo Shu (洛书) magic square. A chart for a specific time arranges four layers over the grid: the earth plate of the 三奇六仪 (three wonders and six instruments — 乙丙丁 and 戊己庚辛壬癸), the nine stars (九星) that travel the palaces, the eight doors (八门 — 开休生 are auspicious, 惊死伤 are not), and the eight gods (八神). Which 局 (one of nine) the chart uses is set by the solar term of the moment, and whether the whole chart moves forward or backward (阴阳遁) is set by the season — winter to summer uses 阳遁, summer to winter uses 阴遁.

The system is famous for its 用神 (useful god/spirit) method: the querent's matter is mapped to a traditional symbol — work to the Open Door (开门), love to the Rest Door (休门) or the He-Le god, wealth to the Birth Door (生门), health to the Tian Rui star, disputes to the Surprise Door (惊门) — and the reader examines the palace where that symbol falls, the doors and stars around it, and the directions and times they indicate.

Like all classical arts, Qi Men rewards practice and humility: it is best enjoyed as cultural heritage and a tool for structured reflection on timing and direction. The chart here follows the standard textbook rules with two documented simplifications (no 置闰 day-correction; 值使 placed with 值符) — accurate in spirit, clear about its limits.
