Will I get my money back?
I was going to a client to collect a debt. Before leaving home, I cast a Qimen chart to see if I could get the money. After analyzing the chart, I realized that getting the money this time would be very difficult. However, to verify the accuracy of the forecast, I went anyway…

Qimen.Guru Commentary:
Although there is a special Qimen technique for forecasting debt collection, where the creditor is represented by the Chief (值符 - Zhi Fu), the collector by the Harm Door (傷門 - Shang Men), and the debtor by the Heavenly Yi Star (天乙 - Tian Yi), the master uses techniques he specializes in: ‘Host-Guest’ (specifically, the movement of the acting spirit from the Earth Plate to the Heaven Plate and vice versa), ‘Small Triad’, ‘Heavenly and Earthly Emptiness’.
This is normal and is the essence of any esoteric discipline where—in contrast to so-called ‘exact science’—techniques, methods, and personal predispositions are merely tools for stimulating and developing direct intuitive perception. Therefore, one should not attach too much importance to which ones are more “correct”, — the Master can give a precise forecast even just by looking at how a leaf falls from a tree.
The analysis is as follows:
- The Day Stem – Bing (丙) – represents me (the querent). Bing on the Earth Plate in the 2nd Palace is in Emptiness (空亡 - Kong Wang). This means I have Earth Qi but no Heaven Qi: I indeed have the right to demand the money, but my position as a creditor cannot manifest at this moment (there is no Heavenly Chance to receive the money). And indeed, the person did not refuse to pay the money, but at that moment, he simply didn’t have it. This is the first reason for failure.
