The analysis is as follows:

  1. Using the Three Treasures method (Small Triad method): The Daily Stem Xin (辛) is in the 5th Palace, but is conventionally carried over to the Earth Plate of the 2nd Palace. Above Xin is Ren (壬) — the Hour Stem (symbolizing the matter/business). Ren is on the Heaven Plate, it signifies activity, while Xin (the person themselves) is on the Earth Plate, it signifies stillness. This indicates that the business itself found the person. (Feedback: Yes, someone found him and proposed this business.)

  2. In the 6th Palace, Below Xin is Geng (庚) – this is the Year Stem. According to the Three Treasures method, what is below the Stem signifies support/patronage (‘backing’). Therefore, it is concluded that an influential leader (patron) is behind the venture.
