Qi Men Dun Jia for 求子 (Fertility & Pregnancy). Fertility consultations (求子) are among the most emotionally-stakes-high Qi Men Dun Jia readings. The classical favourable pattern centres on 生門 (Life gate) landing on the Southwest 坤 palace (the mother palace), supported by harmony / earth spirits.
Qi Men Dun Jia for 求子: classical favourable pattern
What 求子 consultations look for in a chart
Look for 生門 on the Southwest 坤 palace as the strongest indicator. 天輔 (scholar star — for steady developmental progress) or 天任 (trust star — for accumulating productive growth) on the relevant palace are favourable. 六合 (harmony) and 太陰 (hidden female support) spirits both support fertility. Sun Wonder 乙 brings gentle growth; Star Wonder 丁 supports the more mysterious / occult dimensions of conception timing.
Favourable components for 求子
Favourable gates: 生門 (Life), 休門 (Rest)
Favourable stars: 天輔, 天任
Favourable spirits: 六合, 九地, 太陰

Key palace: Southwest 坤 (mother / fertility palace) and Northeast 艮 (youngest son / new beginning)
Warning register
Avoid attempting conception during periods when 死門 lands on the Southwest palace — the most-watched configuration for fertility consultation. 天芮 (sickness star) on the relevant palace warns of complications; 白虎 spirit warns of medical / surgical complications.
Why generic Fertility & Pregnancy guidance fails
The favourable components above describe the pattern to look for in a QMDJ chart, but a real consultation reads the actual chart cast for your specific time-and-place question. The same favourable pattern can land in a chart configuration that is highly favourable for one consultant and inactive for another — depending on which palaces are activated for the question, what dun period is operating, and the consultant's own chart context. Master Sean Chan’s QMDJ forecasting consultation casts the chart for your specific question and reads it chart-aware rather than from a generic pattern lookup.
Practical priorities
Identify the favourable pattern for 求子 — the gates, stars, spirits, and stems listed above are what an experienced QMDJ practitioner looks for when consulting on this purpose.
Cast the chart for your specific question. The QMDJ chart is time-specific — the favourable pattern is only useful if it actually appears in the chart cast at the moment you consult.
Book a forecasting consultation via QMDJ forecasting service for chart-aware reading. Generic favourable-pattern reference is no substitute for an actual chart consultation.

Can I use the QMDJ calculator to read this myself?
The free QMDJ calculator plots the current chart for any time of day. You can use it for self-study and to identify what the current chart pattern looks like. However, reading the chart against your specific question — knowing which palace is your consultation's relevant palace, how the dun period modulates the reading, and whether classical patterns are activating for your question — is the work of a chart-aware consultation rather than a calculator.
