The 9 Palaces (九宮) of Qi Men Dun Jia 九宮 · Nine Palaces

9 Palaces 九宮 Luo Shu Reference

By Master Sean Chan · Last updated 30 April 2026

The 9 Palaces (九宮) of Qi Men Dun Jia, based on the Luo Shu (洛書) square. Eight directional palaces plus the centre. Each palace is the structural slot in which gates, stars, spirits, and stems land during a consultation.

9 Palaces (九宮): classical reference

Each palace carries native attributes (element, trigram, direction, family position, native star, native gate) that interact with whatever components land in it. Click into any palace for its classical attributes and the components that land there.

For chart-aware reading of how these palaces activate for a specific question, book a QMDJ forecasting consultation.
