Qi Men Dun Jia for 訴訟 (Legal Disputes). Legal dispute consultations (訴訟) require careful chart reading because the favourable pattern depends substantially on whether the consultant is the plaintiff (pursuing action) or defendant (responding). Some classical traditions treat 驚門 as favourable for the prosecuting side and 死門 / 杜門 as favourable for hiding from a pursuing legal action.
Qi Men Dun Jia for 訴訟: classical favourable pattern
What 訴訟 consultations look for in a chart
For pursuing legal action: look for 景門 on the relevant palace (favourable for formal hearings going your way), paired with 直符 spirit for authority-amplified outcome. For defending: look for 杜門 (concealment) and 太陰 spirit (hidden support). 天心 star supports decisive legal strategy; 辛 stem supports articulate, precise courtroom communication.
Favourable components for 訴訟
Favourable gates: 景門 (View, for formal hearings), 驚門 (Startle, for prosecutorial side), 開門 (Open)
Favourable stars: 天心, 天輔
Favourable spirits: 直符, 六合
Favourable stems: 丙 (Moon Wonder), 辛 (yin metal precision)
Key palace: Depends on the consultant's role — Northwest 乾 if pursuing as plaintiff (authority side), West 兌 if managing a counter-suit (judicial / speech palace)
Warning register
Avoid pursuing legal action if 死門 or 驚門 land on the consultant's own palace (centre or self-palace). 白虎 spirit warns of escalation to physical conflict; 玄武 spirit warns of hidden adversaries influencing the case.
Why generic Legal Disputes 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 訴訟 — 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.
