Ze Ri — choosing an auspicious moment by Qi Men Dun Jia

In classical Eastern thought, time is not a uniform flow but a sequence of differing energetic qualities. 擇日 zérì is the discipline that reads those qualities before an undertaking. You name what an hour has to hold — to begin an activity, to take a decision, to open a project — and the hours that answer are the ones you are shown.

Use this section to analyse the temporal flow and pinpoint the hours and days when the configurations of 奇門遁甲 qímén dùnjiǎ answer the criteria you gave.

How this is computed
The interval and the place
What to look for

Choosing one fills in the gate below, which you can then change. It is the association the tradition makes between an undertaking and a gate — the eight gates only, and nothing further: where the rest of that doctrine is concerned the schools disagree, and this takes no side.

Ruling out

Whose year is to stand there

With a date of birth, only the palaces that person’s year pillar (本命 běnmìng) stands on are reported: 《遁甲演義》 dùnjiǎ yǎnyì has a reading consider it before anything else. It narrows what is shown and weighs nothing: what makes a palace worth standing in is what you asked for above.

These are arrangements, not recommendations. The engine reports where each one stands; whether it is a good hour to act is a reading, and it is yours to make.
