Will she call me back?
Ms. Wang from Shenzhen called me to discuss a project. During the call, we didn’t reach a final decision. Ms. Wang said they needed to deliberate further and that she would call me back this evening to finalize everything. After hanging up, I decided to cast a Qimen chart to see if she would indeed call back…

Analysis:
-
Since the other party (Ms. Wang) called me first, she is the Guest (客), and I am the Host (主). Therefore, we look at the Day Stem Ren (壬) on the Earth Plate (in the 8th Palace), and consequently, the Stem Yi (乙) on the Heaven Plate of this same palace represents the other party — Ms. Wang (see commentary below). Since the 8th Palace is in Voidness (空亡), she will definitely not call back this evening.
The reason she won’t call is analyzed through the principle of “Earthly and Heavenly Voidness”. For the Guest, Voidness means “there is Heavenly Qi (天气) but no Earthly Qi (地气).”
