Qimen Dunjia: a map of timing, position and movement
Qimen Dunjia is a time-and-space system built around a structured situation map. It brings attention to position, direction, resources and changing conditions around a question.
THE SHORT ANSWER
A Qimen chart is most useful as a way to think about position and readiness. It can broaden the options you see, but it cannot guarantee that one direction will succeed.
01
What it observes
The chart combines time, direction, palaces, doors, stars and heavenly stems into a symbolic map. Traditional readers use relationships between these layers to discuss movement and opportunity.
02
How to read it
Define the question, the person or goal involved and the time of observation. Treat the chart as a snapshot of the current field, then bring in constraints and evidence from the real situation.
03
How Mingora uses it
Mingora emphasizes context: what is available, what is blocked and what can be moved first. It turns a dense map into a short list of decisions and observations.
KEY CONCEPTS
