What is Qi Men Dun Jia?

Qi Men Dun Jia is an ancient divination technique originally used for military strategy. Today, it is used to assess the current state of things and decide the best course of action for specific outcomes.

How is this different from BaZi?

BaZi reflects your life's overall trajectory (macro view). Qi Men Dun Jia is a micro-managing, tactical tool used for specific decisions in the present moment.

Qi Men Qi Men Dun Jia 「奇门遁甲」: The Art of Strategic Forecasting

From Ancient Battlefields to Modern Life: Originally designed as a military strategy tool in ancient China, Qi Men Dun Jia pre-dates even BaZi and Zi Wei Dou Shu. Today, it has evolved into a sophisticated forecasting system used to assess outcomes, mitigate risks, and secure advantages in almost any aspect of life.

Why Choose Qi Men Dun Jia? While other systems map out your life's overall trajectory, QMDJ is your tool for execution and immediate decision-making.

Tactical Precision: Ideal for when you are at a crossroads and need to know exactly which path yields the best result.
Active Management: It empowers you to maximise favourable phases and manoeuvre around unfavourable ones.

The Philosophy: As Above, So Below QMDJ is built on the profound concept of 在天成象，在地成形，在人成事。

What Can Be Forecasted:

Business & Wealth: Investment decisions, debt collection, and partnership dynamics.
Relationships: The true thoughts of a partner and the likely outcome of a connection.
Career: Timing for job changes, promotions, or office politics.
Litigation: Strategic outlooks on lawsuits and appeals.
Wellbeing: Identifying root causes of health issues and treatment effectiveness.

What is a "Divination"?

When you go to a temple to cast a divination lot (求签), it is a form of divination. You ask a question and a response is given.

I came across Sean’s blog on Google while looking for a Bazi compatibility service. I decided to engage his service after reading some articles that he wrote on his blog and was convinced by his ability to bring across his message as well as his knowledge in metaphysics.

While waiting for the scheduled day of consultation, I read up the rest of the articles he wrote on his blog and got to learn more about metaphysics especially in the topic of feng shui (more recently on Flying Star 9) and transcending one’s Bazi chart. If you engage in other Feng shui consultant, I do not think they would have been an advocate of transcending your Bazi chart. This is not the case with Sean.

During the scheduled day of the consultation, he was able to detect something is amiss in the compatibility as I provided him with an incorrect time of birth (I am sharing this as it is a mistake on my part so please do not do this and give him the actual time of birth). Over the next few days through the Q&A, I learnt more from him about the issues he sees. From the process, I have also gained invaluable advice that I will bear in mind going forward.

I believe most of us are here for a consultation as a result of the challenges we faced/are facing in life and have our doubts. Having a consultation enables us to learn more about ourselves and for us to take actions to bring about a positive change. For those who are considering a consultation, I highly recommend you consider engaging Sean if you prefer straightforward analysis for the hard truths so you can take positive actions to bring that positive change to your life. - 1/01/2021

I approached Sean for a consultation after I read his blogposts, and it has certainty been an enriching experience. There are 3 key reasons why I will engage Sean as my practitioner going forward:

1. His heart is in the right place. Sean has been incredibly patient and accommodating when I wasn't able to reply him immediately. Also, he is an morally upright practitioner that conducts his consultations with integrity. Some practitioners might distort the truth in a bid to scare you into buying charms as a “solution”, when their objective is to line their own pockets instead. Although his prices are slightly on the higher side, you can have a peace of mind that it will be a truthful and beneficial experience. You will be able to feel that he genuinely wants to help his clients, and has their best interest at heart.

2. He knows what he’s doing, hence he’s able to give you an in-depth analysis. I believe his blogposts speaks volumes about his understanding and passion in metaphysics. You can expect thorough replies, with a mix of both technicalities and advice in a modern day context. He patiently explains concepts in laymen terms in a way that beginners can comprehend easily too. Additionally, there is a lot of value to be unlocked from the 7 day Q&A session. I personally believe that a consultation is also a time for self-reflection. I was able to digest the information before asking further questions, which aided me in getting a firm understanding.

3. He delivers key issues in a constructive manner that is meant to help you gain more self-awareness. The cards you’re dealt plays a huge role, but how you play your hand is equally important as well. Sean will deliver the unbiased truth, but at the same time he emphasises what you can do with this information. During the consultation, I was made aware of certain issues to be careful of going forward. A consultation can be a vulnerable experience, but you’re in good hands with Sean. 🙂 - 5/20/2020

I stumbled upon Sean’s blog while I was researching articles on metaphysics and found his blog entries candid and refreshing. He is funny, witty and I really enjoyed reading his blog entries which are relatable! Unlike traditional metaphysics masters, Sean is honest about what metaphysics can do and can’t do and that struck a chord with me as I was exposed to metaphysics readings when I was younger as a result of my mother and those readings back then made no sense to me. As a naturally curious (and somewhat anxious) individual, I reached out to him for a bazi compatibility reading for my husband and I and was blown away by his explanation and accuracy about what has happened in our lives. It was like finally, something clicked and a light was turned on after being in the dark for a very long time. Sean’s advice was invaluable as he provides a balanced opinion while considering other perspectives and it helped me understand and gear up for what may come. His advice has helped open the channel for closer communication between my husband and I and I appreciate that he emphasizes that we should not allow the readings to be a self-fulfilling prophecy and to transcend the charts by a paradigm and mindset shift. We are aware that it is easier said than done but we are encouraged by Sean’s support and his willingness to answer any questions that we have even if it sounds silly. I do highly recommend you seek him out if you have any metaphysics questions or would like a bazi reading! 🙂 - 7/03/2018

I came through Sean's blog entries while searching for references to study my own Bazi. While I'd like to be able to decipher mine and others Bazi accurately eventually, I'm far from competent. And, with my wife, we're at crossroads in life now deciding on our next steps in our career. Desperate for guidance, I quickly thought of Sean's service because I love the bluntness, at the same time, professionalism in his blog entries. At the very least I knew what a good/not so good BZ practitioner should know, and Sean's blog entries reflect those values and knowledge. At the same time, the way he writes clicks with me regarding his tone of voice.

I applied for his service and paid, within a day he replied (not the robot) to apologise for the long queue and provide me with expectations to his service - down to earth.

From his blog, I know what can be asked, and what shouldn't. I phrased all my questions while waiting for him to get back to me, and there're TONS of questions that he even commented on it, haha. I didn't want to waste both of our time, so I kept my questions on career, relationship, health, crisis, overall luck pillars and life outcome straight to the point and prepared follow up questions. He usually comes back with a response within 24 hours to 4-5 days, depending on his queue, but he'll keep me updated if I should expect a longer delay.

His responses were not only straight to the point but explained in detail where need be, which is essential for me who needs the clarification of why like this - like that. This is to lend credibility to the whole analyses and minimise confusion for me/my wife when life's confusing enough on its own.

He did emphasise that Bazi is only 1 part of life, understand it --> learn how can we change it if it's not desirable. So from the session alone, there were around 5-8 action points for me/my wife to complete in the next 5 years which includes both awareness and actions. Also, it provides an overall expectation that's the worse it can be for us, so with that in mind, there's nothing really to be afraid of and go experiment, challenge, grow, and transcend! - 6/11/2018

I first found Master Sean Chan via a Google search. From the articles he wrote, it is quite clear that Master Sean knows exactly what he is doing. He provides a ‘translation’ of the olden, traditional teachings of Fengshui, Bazi & Zi Wei Dou Shu through a reasonable ‘lens’ to help us understand how such teachings apply to us in today’s world.

I’ve engaged his services to do a Bazi/ZiWeiDouShu reading for my family & I agree with most of his interpretations of our charts so far. Many geomancers either only focus on the good or tell you bad things that can be miraculously ‘solved’ with the purchase of some items or services. Master Sean Chan will not distill the bad stuff, and instead tells you how to see the negative events in a positive manner.

I also follow his blog and subscribe to his ‘updates’. I find the advice that he dishes out from time to time strangely applicable to my own life. He is knowledgeable and competent in his field and I’d strongly recommend him for your Fengshui / Bazi needs. - 6/01/2018

Stumbled upon Sean’s blog when i was googling for a ZWDS chart calculator. I am not unfamiliar to metaphysics as I have consulted several ‘Sifus’ for decades prior to him and i also do some simple readings myself.

What struck me as refreshing was his stand towards transcending one’s chart; that nothing can change your bazi or zwds but through your own actions and decisions to ‘transcend’ your destiny riding on the ebb and flow of your (运). This sums up what metaphysics can do for you; know thyself and the best timings (运）to actualize your potentials.

During my consultation with Sean, he provided his findings and advices backed by technical analysis. To further prove and support his findings and advices, he cross referenced them with both BZ and ZWDS chart analysis. He endeavours to cut through the mysticism shrouded by some of my previous ‘sifus’ when they were unable to give me a satisfactory answer. This has bolstered my confidence in him and demonstrates the depth of knowledge he has acquired in the field of metaphysics. He has debunked my earlier belief that I should defer such consultations to a more sagely & elderly ‘sifu’. Sean is an antithesis to the conventional metaphysicist. He stays true and steadfast to the fundamentals of metaphysics pedagogy by eschewing the beliefs that your destiny can be moderated with the acquisition of certain Fengshui ornaments, cutting through the commercialism in this field.

Through this consultation, Sean has helped to put some perspective in my life and changed some of my decisions towards my short term and mid term goals. I become less uncertain and anxious, and starting to make near term plans to align with his advice.

So buyers beware, approach Sean ONLY if you want clarity in your life….. - 1/24/2018

Chanced upon Sean's blog one day while searching up the net about fortune telling. I was intrigued while reading up his entries (felt that his posts were so honest/interesting/relatable), and decided to approach him for an online consultation to find out more.

To my surprise, Sean appeared to be friendly and amicable, and seemed genuine in wanting to helping you out. He provided me a detailed analysis on my chart, and explained to me about the theories and reasonings behind his readings. I don't think many other practitioners out there would be bothered to do that.

There are some things being told in the consultation with Sean that really did surprise me a little, and it made me realize that some things in life really does happen for a reason. But not to worry, because besides being objective with his readings, he is also usually encouraging and positive, explaining that nothing is fixed; rather than harping on the areas which we lack in our charts, we should instead focus on personal cultivation and self-awareness so that we could either transcend our charts, or just become a better person out of it.

I was never really a strong believer of bazi, fengshui, etc (or even a bit of a skeptic to be honest), but now, I must say that there is really so much out there in the world that we have yet to learn of, and it wouldn't harm to find out about them, just so you could increase awareness, and help yourself make better future decisions with that new knowledge.

I stumbled upon Sean's blog during a period of uncertainty. I have seen many fengshui masters (or metaphysicians) in my life; most of them would tell me to buy certain items to make up for the luck or the elements that I lack in this life, be it for wealth or health or love etc. When I saw that Sean did not believe in making clients buy items to enhance their luck, I liked this premise and proceeded to consult him regarding a certain crossroad I must pass. He isn't your typical bazi consultant and can come across as stern at times (not for the faint-hearted!) but he puts a lot of heart into the analysis. The best part is he doesn't make you buy nonsense worth thousands of dollars to improve your life and instead gives you practical advice.

He is also logical, and tries to give the best guidance possible without sugar coating things. His advice helped me navigate through a confusing period of decision making, which I am grateful for. He also has an excellent response time, and after-sales service. If you have a desire to know why your life is the way it is, or if you have it in your life (or not) to strike Toto first prize, or have a difficult decision to make, or want to know when is the best time to do certain things to your advantage, I would recommend that you consult Sean. And the bonus is he is also quite humorous so the entire consultation is pleasant regardless of good news or bad. - 12/18/2017

I contacted Sean with regards to Fengshui while hunting for a house. He explained clearly to me the rationale behind why Fengshui should be considered during house hunting rather than after I have bought a place.

It sounded like a really tedious affair, having to consult him after every house hunting. However, he made it easier by teaching me what I need to do exactly, so that I can get back to him to assess. He even made trips with me to the few units which he had shortlisted. He gave very practical suggestions as to how to make the house more favourable to me.

Having my BaZi read by him is also a requirement in engaging him for Fengshui. Honestly, I am impressed by how well-versed and passionate he is in this field despite his age. His reports were detailed, both of BaZi and the house. During the 1st 7 days of unlimited questions, he made sure it was answered with as much details as possible. He did not sugarcoat and presented only what I would like to hear, he was also honest in pointing out the ugly truth as well. He was able to accurately identify the kind of relationships I have. That confirms that he knows his stuff!

It was very comfortable working with Sean. I will definitely engage him again should need to look for a new house or recommend anyone whom I know to engage him in Fengshui or BaZi reading.

Thank you Sean! - 11/06/2017

Sean comes across to me as a knowledgeable practitioner who is sincere, friendly and responsive. His 7 days online consultation service is something unheard of in the industry and that’s what I feel most practitioners should have done.

The 7 days Q&A is very engaging and he is so responsive that I wonder does he even sleep. His replies are deep and thoughtful. They are not your simple one or two liner replies which I often experience from other practitioners. IMO, just his attitude and sincere answering in ensuring that you fully understand is already worth the money.

On the analysis, he is very accurate and more importantly, he is able to give me a different perspective to think about. And the fact that I have 7 days to think more and ask him anytime is invaluable.

All in all, not only I feel is the money well spent, but I also enjoyed the overall experience in working with a sincere Master. He is truly the model practitioner for the new era where classical knowledge is delivered through modern technology. I will not hesitate to recommend him highly to any anyone or even my clients if they need a good Master to consult and work with. - 9/20/2017

Sorry for the delayed review! We were looking for a shifu to help to see the fengshui of our new house. But we were wary of some fengshui masters that insisted on weird paint colours or hacking walls.

When I texted Sean about my queries, he was very patient and also encouraged me to read his blog to understand more about fengshui. And I'm so glad that I did! His blog was very insightful and I like his sincerity and honesty through his writing.

He was available almost immediately for my house audit (which I really appreciate) and subsequently, followed up with a very detailed report on our house and our bazi. He is a little expensive but it was money well spent. Thank you Sean! - 8/09/2017

Highly recommended! I was looking for a Ba Zi Master to provide me with insights to my life destiny. As many have experienced, I had my fair share of generalised and conflicted readings. I chanced upon Sean's blog and found it to be very detailed. As you would, I had my reservations for a while before deciding to contact Sean for a detailed Ba Zi and Zi Wei Dou Shu reading. Suffice to say, the rest is history!! Put it plainly, it is as good (or better) than having a face-to-face consultation. Sean's availability online is second to none, be it Whatsapp or Emails. His easy-going and sincere personality aside, Sean is extremely professional and knowledgable. He explains theories and readings in a very practical manner, which makes it easy for one to relate and understand regardless of your "skill level" in this field. Sean's advice to me has been well-received because it was accurate, clear and precise - no beating around the bush. In future, I will most definitely engaged Sean for his Ba Zi and FengShui services. I am also considering taking lessons from him! It is always a "leap of faith" kind of thinking when one considers engaging Ba Zi "shifu" but I strongly encourage everyone out there to give yourself and Sean a chance to know about the DNA prints of your destiny. You will not look back let alone regret. Cheers Sean! From a (more than) satisfied customer who is happy to be contacted as a reference in regards to Sean's services in Chinese Metaphysics. - 8/08/2017

We engaged Sean to do our new BTO fengshui analysis.

First Impression of the name Sean Chan (over the internet) is: Young yet professional. Knows his stuffs well. Knows what he is talking about. Friendly. That’s good enough reasons why we chose Sean over the "older and more experienced” masters over the internet. To some, his non-typical fengshui master age may cast some doubts on him but to me and my wife, we want someone who can communicate well with us someone our age like Sean is actually a plus factor. (Trust me, some uncle masters are either too imposing on what they believe in or you can’t fully understand everything they saying. I know because my parents engage these masters during our house shiftings previously)

After we engaged Sean, we didn’t meet up immediately as we still haven't got keys to our bto. Our initial communication was over emails and Sean is, in Facebook terms “extreme responsive to messages”. Typically replies within the hour, usually replies within a few minutes. Very clear answer were given to our questions and very clear instructions if he needed things (e.g. Accurate main door compass reading).

When we finally got our keys we took the main door reading (an important factor) based on his instruction and he did the analysis over his end. His analysis is based on 阳宅三要 and Flying Stars and Bazi and he is able to explain to us in layman terms which readings we falls under and how does the readings impact us. Everything is based on facts and what the ancient books says and not his prediction or what he thinks.

When we finally met up with Sean at our new house, he was friendly and accommodating. Totally cool dude. He looked around the house and told us what is good and what not to do ( like reflective surface in bedrooms). He also further explain his reading in more layman terms so that we understand how to interpret the readings better.

In relation to looking at fengshui for house, it is somehow related to the personal 八字 and Sean was kind enough to do an analysis for me and my wife, including advice on what's good for us and what to take note for the coming few years.

We have lived in the house for close to a month and everything so far is great!

Don't take a feng shui master as an artist. Feng shui is a science based a lot on literature and the master should be able to apply a certain methodology to analyse the reading. A good Feng Shui Master should also be good in understanding the technical (ancient) terms and explain it in layman terms to us. Sean is a master to both the above and hence is able to provide accurate reading to his clients.

A very professional engagement we had and we will not hesitate to recommend Sean to anyone who is looking for experienced and competent Feng Shui Master. - 2/15/2017

I was reading Sean's blog and was impressed by the reviews. His promptness to my request immediately set me at ease. He was accurate in quite a number of things from reading my chart. All these even before I actually shared any personal information with him. His follow-ups were timely. I highly recommend Sean, simply for his accuracy and patience. - 2/08/2017

I'm not a person who usually write reviews but Sean definitely deserves it. Was looking for someone to have a look at my Ba Zi & found his website. Sean was really friendly & did provide a quick turnaround. It can be seen that he's really enthusiastic about his job with us having conversations way past midnight. He was patient & did explain my long list of questions in an easily understandable context.

It was definitely surprising that he managed to highlight on my weak kidney / blood issues based on my Ba Zi alone without any prior hints! Really great thumbs up on his health advice & really thankful for it. Do highly recommend to consult Sean on his services! - 2/05/2017

I have a few bazi readings from different masters before. There are a few things which Sean has impressed me.
1. He replies very fast and is always friendly.
2. His bazi reading is comprehensive. There are some technical terms but he will always explain it in a layman's manner.
3. He has a real interest to help. You can feel it in the way he replied and asked.
4. Although there is a 7 days time limit to ask questions, he is not inflexible to cater for my schedule.
5. I like his email consultation service approach. The reason is that I can read the email report on my own time. Believe me that when someone gives you a reading of your destiny, you will have a lot of feelings and questions in your head. You will wish that you have time to slow down and think out your questions. - 1/07/2017

Frequently Asked Questions

How do you apply Qi Men Dun Jia during the consultation?

Please note that I combine all three techniques I know during consultations.

I will use Qi Men Dun Jia as and when it's required so that you can make the best and most-informed decision for any situation you are facing. I will do my best to explain the technicals to you. Just come with questions and trust me with the process.

What can I ask using Qi Men Dun Jia?

The applications are almost limitless, but to give a few classic examples, you can ask about:

Career: Whether it's a good time to change jobs
Health: Will the treatment be successful? What health issues are on the horizon?
Romance: Is the other part interested?
Academics: Am I ready, and will I pass the exam?
Pregnancy: Best time to try to conceive and general insights on the journey.
Outcome of lawsuits: Will I win the lawsuit? What can I do to increase the odds?
Outcome of business decisions: Will the business be successful? What are the ROIs like?
Many more...

If you're unsure whether something can be asked, reach out to me to clarify.

Qi Men Dun Jia sounds unbelievable. Does it really work?

Qi Men Dun Jia is a divination technique. It is no different from horary astrology or a tarot card reading.

It's hard for laypeople to appreciate how divination works because it requires a different way of viewing the world. But yes, Qi Men Dun Jia works just like other Chinese metaphysics techniques.

If you ever went to a temple to draw a lot (签) and felt that it helped you or a prediction came true, what you experienced is the same as what Qi Men Dun Jia is trying to achieve.

Can I ask about other people using Qi Men Dun Jia?

You definitely can. This technique can be used to discover things about others, even without their birth details. But please only ask about others if it's an important situation that directly impacts you.

The only rule for this is not to use it for harming or taking advantage of others.

For example, I use Qi Men Dun Jia to catch cheating spouses for my clients.

How do I get started?

A Qi Men Dun Jia divination comes as part of the consultation, where all three techniques I know will be applied.

Please review the BaZi and Zi Wei Dou Shu service pages to learn more. Fill up the relevant forms once you're ready to get started.

Make sure you go through all the T&Cs and emails that will eventually be sent to you.

Why are your fees so expensive?

There is no objective way of answering this. What may be expensive to you is actually reasonable to others, especially to those who have come for a consultation with me and recognized the insights and value I can bring.

I would actually throw the question back at you and make you ask yourself what price would you put on making good decisions that can potentially change the outcome of your life or help you avert calamitous times. To me, that's worth way more than a few hundred dollars and sometimes even priceless.

My fees are factored by a combination of reasons, such as how much I value my time, where I see myself stand within the industry, and the scarcity of my time as my reach grows.

If I may be blunt, there are tons of charlatans out there charging way higher than I am and I don't see why I should charge lower than them.

My pricing is also a natural filter for the quality of clients I wish to take on.
