Do you know that QiMen can be used for choosing presents too? Since Christmas is just around the corner, we hope with this, you’ll be able to find the perfect gift for your loved ones!
You’re out shopping to buy a present for Christmas and you see something that catches your eye. Perhaps it’s a novelty mug, a weird-looking lamp or something practical. Whatever it is, you’re convinced it’s the perfect gift for your friend, family or significant other. But, here comes a thought. Remember that time and you received a present yourself and you didn’t quite like it?
“What if they don’t like my present?”
It’s actually a normal thing to ponder. When you’re buying a present for a certain someone, the best-case scenario for you would be to see them elated by your generosity. Of course, we always say that we should focus on gratitude and good intentions; but if possible, we’d like to avoid a predicament where our presents are not quite well-received. Fortunately, QiMen Forecasting can help with this.
By now, you should know how QiMen Forecasting works. At the moment in time when you are deciding whether or not you should buy this particular present, plot an Hour Chart. Then, focus on the Day Palace as well as the Hour Palace. As with the usual forecasts, they both represent the asker and the subject matter respectively. The Day Palace would represent the present you’re planning to give them and the Hour Palace represents what they think of it.
Next, examine the interaction between these two palaces. If the Day Palace produces the Hour Palace, chances are they will very much appreciate your present. If it’s a countering interaction instead, perhaps this particular present is not quite to their liking and you should find another present for them. It’s as simple as that!
For those of you who can be considered “advanced” in Qi Men Dun Jia, try to take a look at the content of both palaces. The Day Palace in this context represents the present itself in terms of quality and arbitrary value while the Hour Palace represents the recipient’s reception to it. Positive components mean that the other party is happy to receive it (regardless whether they actually like it or not) and negative components denote otherwise.
Since Christmas is just around the corner, why don’t you give this a try? If you have any thoughts on it, some experience you wish to share or questions you’d like to ask, just leave your comment down below. We hope with this, you’ll be able to find the perfect gift for your loved ones!
