Welcome to Qi Men Dun Jia. This is Dougles Chan.
Today we are going to talk about how to read a Qimen chart and how to plot a Qimen chart.
When you want to do divination using Qi Men Dun Jia (QMDJ), you have to ask a question and, based on the app, do a chart creation. There are a lot of chat creations for Qi Men Dun Jia in the market. Most of them are pretty reliable, which means the information is 99% accurate in terms of the formation of the chart.
When you want to do divination in terms of this Qi Men Dun Jia, it will give us an indication of what the result is going to be and what the outcome is going to be. Sometimes, we can even see why it is going to be like that, and maybe we can even change the result due to a specific arrangement or even knowing the problems.
I will give very brief information about how to do divination because this is a very big and complex subject. I just teach based on very specific things.
This is a Qimen chart.

How do we read the Qimen chart?
When you plot the thing with the app, use the exact time that you asked for. For example, if you are asking now, on January 18, 2019, at 12:50 in the afternoon, this is the timing of that plot. Because that is the moment that you ask the question.
So, assume that this is the time: January 18, 2019, at 12:50 in the afternoon.
How do we see this chart? What is your question?
For example, should I be investing in this business?
So, you have to see two things. First of all, this is a day stem and an hour stem.

The answer, generally speaking, is in the hour stem. This hour stem is called “Ren”. Next, we have to locate the answer “Ren” in the 9 boxes. So, “Ren” is in boxes number 1 and number 3.

In Qi Men Dun Jia, we always look at the one at the very top, which means that we ignore box number 3. We just look at box number 1 over here.

There are 3 signs: “9Earth”, “Obstruct”, “Impulse”, which can tell us a story. We will have to create a story that will give us an answer. Of course, every one of them has certain positive or negative traits. There’s a dictionary on every sign. It is not simple.
All right, we have to look at box number 1 which reflects “Ren” (corresponding with the Hour stem).
But, if you talk about friends, brothers, sisters, fathers, then the answer will not be in the Hour stem. It will be in Month stem or Year stem, depending on how senior the position is.

For example, if you talk about your father or grandfather, then we have to look at the Year stem. So, Year stem is the answer for grandfather, father, or boss, which is over here:

So, there are a lot of different conditions depending on who the person is. It means that the senior will have a different box to choose from.
There is a formula. If we talk about brothers, sisters, elderly brothers and sisters, we will use Month stem.
If you talk about your grandfather, father, or even like your boss, then we have to use the Year stem to see the answer.
Hence, choosing the right answer in the right box is very important. Because if you use the wrong one, the answer will be very different.
I will only touch on choosing the stems. Then, I will cover more in terms of how to read a definition chart in Qi Men Dun Jia. Thank you.
