Time of divination: January 31, 2025, at 11:18 AM.

Stem and branch time: I E year, IV B month, VII A day (void: E and F).

A female querent asked about the illness of her father-in-law. At the time, the elderly man was already in the late stage of cancer. She obtained Bi to Yi.

Judgment: In hexagram interpretation, the second line represents the home.

The basic tone of auspiciousness and inauspiciousness was one of extreme danger: The significator, parents G fire, was in the state of rest and constraint in the B month. More fatally, the fifth line wife and wealth A water and the third line wife and wealth M water, both representing obstacle gods, were active at the same time. This increased the force that overcame G fire. The significator was under repeated overcoming. It had no generation or support at all. In fact, there was only overcoming and no generation. As a result, this showed that the illness was extremely serious, with no strength left to turn the situation around. Death was near at hand.

Timing judgment, the core method of judgment: In the hexagram, the two obstacle gods, M water and A water, were active and respectively transformed into E earth and F fire.

Guarding against misjudgment: Many people would easily misjudge this structure and assume that because the obstacle gods transformed badly or transformed into void, namely the fifth line wife and wealth A water transforming into the parents F fire in void, and the third line wife and wealth M water transforming into siblings E earth in void, they would no longer continue to overcome the significator. However, here, active transformation into void was an important clue for judging the timing of fulfillment.
