The Conditions for Quan and Ke to Ease Ji in Zi Wei Dou Shu

Quan gives control and Ke gives standing and buffer, which can ease Ji in theory, but they must land in the relevant palaces and the person must act. Quan and Ke alone, with no action, leave Ji in place.

Many relax on hearing that Quan and Ke can resolve Ji, then do nothing. Resolution is not automatic; they offer conditions, not results.

What This Question Is Really Asking

Three conditions must hold: Quan or Ke lands in a palace related to Ji, it meets Ji rather than sitting unrelated, and the person uses the force to actually handle it. With all three, Ji loosens.

The Underlying Logic

Quan supplies control and drive, giving the ability to actively handle Ji's blockage.

Ke supplies standing, reason and buffer, letting the blockage be seen and softened.

Quan and Ke must land in palaces related to Ji and meet it; misplaced stars cannot help.

Stars only give conditions, and the person must act; with stars but no action, resolution does not hold.

A Step-by-Step Way to Read It

  1. Locate Ji's palace and the blockage it contains
  2. Find where Quan and Ke land
  3. Judge whether they relate to Ji and meet it
  4. For Quan, see whether it supplies control to drive the handling
  5. For Ke, see whether it supplies reason and standing as buffer
  6. Confirm the person will act through Quan and Ke before judging whether Ji resolves

Three Common Mistakes

Mistake 1: Assuming Quan and Ke resolve things automatically without acting

Mistake 2: Ignoring whether they land in related palaces and claiming resolution anyway

Mistake 3: Treating Quan and Ke as universal while Ji still needs long-term work

Back to Your Own Chart

Quan and Ke easing Ji give you the ability and standing to handle it, not a free pardon. With the conditions and the will to act, the blockage truly loosens.

Reading Order

  1. Cast the natal chart first and locate the palaces and major stars tied to the conditions for Quan and Ke to ease Ji before judging anything
  2. Open the triple-direction of those palaces and count the auspicious, malefic and assistant stars separately
  3. Check where the natal Four Transformations land to set the chart's baseline tone
  4. Read the decade-limit transformations to see whether the the conditions for Quan and Ke to ease Ji line is activated in this stage
  5. Then read the annual transformations and the year's palace to pin down this year's trigger and timing
  6. Layer natal, decade and year before concluding, then decide how to act rather than labeling good or bad
