Qi Men Dun Jia is usually taught one of two ways: guarded like a family secret, or dressed up with so much mystique that you leave with feelings instead of skills. I built my course the opposite way. You’ll learn QMDJ in plain English, with worked examples from real decisions, until you can plot a chart, read it, and act on it yourself.
Who This Qi Men Dun Jia Course Is For
Three kinds of people tend to do well here. Business owners and professionals who want better timing on real decisions: launches, negotiations, hiring, signings. Coaches and consultants who want a decision framework their clients haven’t seen everywhere already. And practitioners of BaZi, feng shui or astrology who want to add QMDJ as a strategic layer on top of what they know.
You don’t need prior metaphysics training. If you can follow a structured method and actually practice on real examples, you can learn this. I’ve watched complete beginners outperform people with years of theory, because they did the reps.
What You Will Learn
The curriculum walks the full system in order. The foundations: what QMDJ is, where it came from, and why emperors treated it as strategic statecraft. The chart itself: nine palaces, ten stems, eight doors, nine stars, eight gods, and how the layers talk to each other. Plotting: how a chart is calculated for any moment, the same process I explain in my QMDJ calculator guide. Reading: palace selection, support versus obstruction, and turning the chart into one plain sentence you can act on. Then application: hour charts for daily timing, destiny charts for long-term patterns, forecasting for trends, and business case walkthroughs pulled from my thirty years running and advising companies.
How the Teaching Works
Everything is taught in English, and I translate the jargon as we go rather than hiding behind it. Each concept lands three ways: the explanation, a worked example, and a practice decision. You build the skill instead of watching someone else demonstrate it.
My background is three decades of business: hiring, negotiation, advising owners, and plenty of decisions I got wrong first. A confession that might reassure you: I was a terrible student at the start too. Nobody handed me shortcuts. That’s partly why I teach this one.
Why Learn With Dougles Chan
I’m a QMDJ educator and lineage founder based in Singapore, teaching in English for an international audience. My promise is short: no hype, no fear-based selling, no mystique for its own sake. The system is powerful enough that it doesn’t need dressing up, and honest teaching is what actually turns students into practitioners.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need any prior experience with Chinese metaphysics?
No. The course starts from zero and builds the foundations before the advanced layers. Complete beginners are the norm here, not the exception.
Is the course taught in English?
Yes, English throughout. I introduce Chinese terms where they help you read other practitioners’ material later, but gently.
How long does it take to become competent?
Plotting is learnable in days. Confident reading takes a few months of practice with feedback, which the worked examples and case walkthroughs are designed to speed up.
How do I enroll or ask questions?
Reach out through my consultation page and we’ll talk about where you are and what you want QMDJ to do for you. I read every message myself.
