The 8 Spirits (八神) of Qi Men Dun Jia — 直符 / 螣蛇 / 太陰 / 六合 / 白虎 / 玄武 / 九地 / 九天. Each spirit represents an interpretive lens that modulates how the chart consultation reads at the palace where the spirit lands.
8 Spirits (八神): classical reference
This batch uses the more common spirit lineage (直符 / 螣蛇 / 太陰 / 六合 / 白虎 / 玄武 / 九地 / 九天). Some traditions substitute 勾陳 for 白虎 and 朱雀 for 玄武 — the registers are similar but the names differ. Click into any spirit for its classical attributes, register, and consultation guidance.
For chart-aware reading of how these spirits activate for a specific question, book a QMDJ forecasting consultation.
