Two different sets of Xuan Kong Da Gua or San Yuan Date Selection utilities

Many free internet apps or leisure magazine web applications have sexy screens but when it comes to serious work, those tools begin to crack under pressure.

In the screen capture below, I demonstrate the common application of computer automation to crunch date selection problems. 

Client A, birth year 1984, house sitting 180 degrees south wants a couple of good dates for June 2016.

In the example below, the user has used the Quick Filter function to get dates that has interesting affinity with his house sitting and birth year stem.  He or she can spend more times analysing dates that are minimally above average.  There are useful cues to guide the user e.g. Tiger hour clashes the year in this example.

Well you can use paid 'Look Up' tables too but they require handsome subscription fees. 

Oh no, your clients' birth date or house sitting data are not in the table!  Back to square one. 

You need good luck or deity-level mental dexterity if you looking for the elusive 'Family Gua' dates using tables or manual plotting!

The next screen demonstrates the power of plugins.  One common plugin is 五吉 which was popularised by the late Master Chen Pei Shen that I have briefly explained in my earlier blogs.

In the nice world of books, you will get ideal examples where the birth year, house are chosen nicely to illustrate the 五吉 concepts.

Nice but in practice, things are not so simple. 

Sometimes the days' ranges are fixed or the client has already selected the day, presenting you a choice of a few hours.

In such cases, we have to make some adjustments to the criteria, hence you get to see 3 variants of 五吉.

Suppose it is not your good day, your client's birth date and house sitting have no affinity with San Yuan Date Selection in some cases, don't worry, there is still the Qi Men Options tab waiting for you.

Yes, I forgot to mention, there is the Liu Ren tab lurking somewhere in the app!

FAQ

Brother Keong, that is Yin-Si-Shen, 3 penalties?  Are you trying to kill your client?
Under certain conditions (which is not disclosed here) and never discussed in books or maybe current courses yet, 3 penalties dates can be used with good results. 

How about this example up there?
Good try, next question please.

Neat feature in Qi Men Dun Jia date selection application

Let us digress from Flying Stars Zi Wei for a moment today and get into the mechanics of efficient date selection.


Problem
Suppose you have a grand opening and decided to use Qi Men Dun Jia's Heaven Dun as the principal date selection method.  Life will not be fun if you need find a particular date selection formation in the next 3 months.

As a proto-capitalist, it is more viable and interesting to provide Bazi, Zi Wei or Feng Shui readings.


Now if your Feng Shui applications require date selection, then it is really a pain in the a%$e to find a good date time.

Now look up tables are fast, but computers are faster.  In addition, look up tables take up space and you won't enjoy flipping over them.

Automation using software
At the app, you select Qi Men Options.  You are spoiled for choice, do you like Zhi Run, Chai Bu, Rotating or Flying methods?  In this example, we use the Imperial/Zhi Run/Intercalation method to determine the Ju.

In this case, we are interested in 天遁 Tian Dun.  The computer will scan the next 90 X 24 date-times to locate all the 天遁 Tian Dun formations within minutes. 

This is faster than using lookup tables or manual plotting.

The computer has done all the grunge work for you, well there is even rating for the various 天遁 Tian Dun formations.  We know there is 天遁 Tian Dun on 16 Jun 2016, 1400 hours at the south west direction.

In addition, you could use Da Gua Date Selection to fine tune the dates.  You may get lucky and get a good date using Da Gua and Qi Men date selection, remember the more conditions will results in lesser dates. 

With computer automation, date selection will be less of a pain in the a&%e.

If you existing date selection charting applications do not have filtering functions, perhaps it is time for a gust of fresh air.

FAQ

Qi Sha Star: You have gone capitalist, once proto, now nearing unabashed.

This earlier version was given free but there are no 'thank you' cards.  Strangely after putting a price tag, it is attracts attention and I get 'thanks' from buyers.

Qi Sha Star: Why pay for filtering?

If you are a pure date selection theorist, by all means, encourage everyone to plot charts manually.  However my buyers are tired of clicking 'Next' or flipping look up tables.

Qi Sha Star: You are using intercalation, no wonder you are not doing well!?
Using intercalation or otherwise has no bearing on bank accounts.  Bazi and Zi Wei chart will give you a clearer picture of your bank account.  Everyone has different luck phases or motivations.


As a proto-capitalist, look at the rest of the blog for Zi Wei and Bazi charting innovations in the blog.
