Third-grader missing
I came across a post from parents online:
Urgent help needed, a third-grader is missing! At 12:12 AM, the school principal called to say the child was gone and the police had been notified. Where did he go, is he alive??? (see comments below)
Date: October 10, 2005, hour of the Rat
Ba Zi: Year of the Rooster, Month of the Dog, Day of the Rabbit, Hour of the Rat
Open in Calculator
Analysis of the Chart:
- The child is represented by the Hour Stem, Geng (庚). We analyze the Guest aspect, as the child is outside. The 9th Palace, containing the Hour Stem on the Heaven Plate, shows his current state. We see that under the Hour Stem Geng (庚) is the Day Stem, Ding (丁). Since the Hour Stem and the Day Stem have landed in the same Palace, we can conclude that the person will return soon and is not in danger. (It is also worth noting the classic heuristic where the Hour Stem’s Palace producing the Day Stem’s Palace is a favorable sign).
(based on the materials of master Zhang Song 張松, comments by Qimen.Guru in italics)
Commentary 1: Most likely, the child lives at the school and returns home only on weekends or even less frequently — this is a common practice in China. His absence was discovered at the school dormitory, and the principal had to notify the parents.
Commentary 2: Judging by the post’s content, the master likely found it on an esoteric forum where people request forecasts for various events. This allows practitioners to elevate their skills, build a reputation and find clients 😉
