A male querent was preparing for a military recruitment medical examination. He asked whether he would be able to pass the examination successfully. Hexagram obtained: Gui Mei to Zhen.
Judgment:
As a result, the matter fell short of success. The hexagram also contained a hidden indication of financial loss.
1. The significator god and the querent’s physical foundation: parents held the host line and were prosperous and supportive
In this hexagram, the third-line parents B earth held the host line. The host line also represented the querent’s physical condition.
B earth was neither generated nor overcome in the J month, but it received generation and support from the VII L day. Overall, it was relatively prosperous and supportive.
In addition, the sixth line was parents L earth. In image-based interpretation, this represented the head. It aligned with Soaring Snake, which can indicate intelligence and quick thinking. This objectively showed that the querent was intelligent and that his basic physical condition was actually reasonably good.
2. The core reason for failure: the obstacle god transformed into retreat but was held by the day through compatibility
When the parents line represents the medical examination qualification, the wife and wealth line that overcomes parents becomes the obstacle god.
Only the second-line wife and wealth D wood was active in the entire hexagram. Since it directly overcame the host line, this was originally a highly unfavorable sign.
Fortunately, D wood moved and transformed into C wood, forming a retreating transformation. When the obstacle god transforms into retreat, this is normally an excellent sign. It indicates that the illness, unfavorable condition, or obstruction affecting the medical examination is gradually weakening and withdrawing.
However, the L day played a decisive negative role. D and L are compatible. The L day acted like a nail, firmly holding the active obstacle god D wood through compatibility and preventing it from completing its retreat.
The unfavorable factor therefore remained in place and continued to overcome the significator god. This directly indicated that the querent would not pass the medical examination.
3. Precise identification of the medical condition: an old cardiovascular issue and a new liver or gallbladder problem
The previous condition:
The sixth-line L earth was the fire tomb and therefore represented the heart. It aligned with Soaring Snake, which can represent blood vessels.
Taken together, this indicated a previous cardiovascular or cerebrovascular problem.
This precisely matched the querent’s background: he reported that he had failed his previous medical examination because of a cardiovascular or cerebrovascular issue.
The new condition in this examination:
The obstacle god active in this reading was D wood. Within the Eight Trigrams, D wood belongs to the Zhen palace, and Zhen represents the liver and gallbladder.
The second line aligned with Black Tortoise. Black Tortoise represents what is hidden, concealed, or not visible. In a medical reading, this could indicate an internal organ problem hidden inside the body.
The obstacle god moved and transformed into retreat. In a health reading, this could also represent functional decline in an organ.
Based on these combined images, the judgment was that this medical examination would be obstructed by a liver or gallbladder condition.
Conclusion:
The querent would not pass the military recruitment medical examination.
Feedback:
The actual result matched the hexagram judgment.
As indicated by the active obstacle god D wood, the querent ultimately failed the medical examination because of cholecystitis and gallbladder swelling.
This confirmed the condition indicated by the hexagram.
