13th April 2012 7PM GMT+8 - Not a bad date

April 2012 7PM GMT+8 is another highly useable date from Xuan Kong Da Gua date selection perspective. There at at least 3 interesting basic interactions among the date time elements? Do you know them? Oops, some of the hints are given below.


However there are subtle inherent weakness in this date. Remember, there is no such thing as a perfect date.

Now while we know this is a above average date time from Xuan Kong Da Gua perspective (assuming we did not consider the owner and dwelling), we can further refine it using Nine Palace Qi Men Dun Jia. The map (Zhi Lun, Rotating Palace) does not bode well but on closer analysis, it is useable and if you do a simple mathematics, southeast and northwest are the best directions. For the blokes who house sit/face this axis, it is your lucky hour. To make the full use of this time will require some conditions. If it was so easily, Singapore will be full of billionaires.


For the Flying Palace die hard supporters, they will probably use this map.


I will resist stating a corny quoted wrongly attributed to Mao Zedong regarding coloured cats, rats or mice. To be precise, Mao did not use that analogy at all. He was probably busy thinking of new schemes to thwart his political imaginary opponents (formerly comrades) after defeating the Nationalists.

Which of the following methods is correct?
For example, in Chess, we have many openings and defense. There are probably no secrets left, only surprises. Extensive analysis by various grandmasters and annotated games have advanced the game since the last 100 years. There is probably no such thing as a best opening or defense, it is how the game is played that matters.
