陽遁七局 (Yang Dun 7) is one of the 18 Dun Periods (遁局) of Qi Men Dun Jia — the temporal axis of the system. The 18 dun periods divide the year into 9 yang dun (陽遁, the half-year of expansive forward-rotating energy) and 9 yin dun (陰遁, the half-year of receding backward-rotating energy). Yang Dun 7 — anchored at the speech palace; consultations emphasise communication and legal matters; mixed register.
陽遁七局: classical reading and solar-term coverage
陽遁七局 is the energetic configuration that operates during specific solar terms in the year. Each dun period anchors the chart at a specific palace and rotates the components in a specific direction (forward for yang dun, backward for yin dun). Consultations made under this dun period carry the period's distinctive register.
Classical attributes
Yang or yin:陽遁 (yang)
Number: 7 of 9
Anchor palace: west (兌七宮)
Rotation: forward (clockwise — yang dun convention)
陽遁七局 operates during specific solar-term ranges within the year:
清明 Pure Brightness (upper third)
立夏 Beginning of Summer (middle third)
The exact mapping of solar-term thirds to dun-period numbers is the chart-casting work that classical doctrine treats as practitioner-only — the QMDJ Bootcamp covers this rotation logic in detail.
General register for 陽遁七局 consultations
Yang Dun 7 anchors at the west palace (the speech / dispute palace), giving the period a register of sharp communication and potential legal complications. Consultations made under this dun emphasise speech-driven undertakings — public speaking, negotiations, courtroom appearances, articulate persuasion — but warn of sudden shocks and legal escalation. Mixed register; chart-aware reading essential.
What consultations during 陽遁七局 emphasise
The dun period is the foundational temporal layer of any QMDJ consultation. It is the “canvas” on which the gate / star / spirit / stem distribution gets drawn. Consultations made during 陽遁七局 inherit the period's complicated register as a baseline modulating influence — and within that, the specific question's gate × palace × star pattern determines actionable guidance.
Why generic 陽遁七局 interpretation fails
The dun period is one layer of the consultation, not the whole reading. The same 陽遁七局 produces very different actionable readings depending on the specific question asked, the time-of-day chart, and the consultant's own chart context. Generic per-dun guidance can name the foundational register and the temporal anchoring, but cannot tell you what to do for your specific question. Master Sean Chan’s QMDJ forecasting consultation reads the dun period alongside the full chart cast for your question.
Practical priorities
Identify whether your consultation falls under 陽遁七局 based on the solar terms above. Within each solar term, the dun period further subdivides by upper / middle / lower thirds — a chart-aware practitioner determines the exact dun.
Read the dun period as the foundational temporal layer of your consultation. The dun's register is the canvas; the gate / star / spirit / stem pattern is the painting drawn on it.

Frequently asked questions
What is 陽遁七局?
Yang Dun 7 — anchored at the speech palace; consultations emphasise communication and legal matters; mixed register. The period anchors at the west palace and rotates forward (clockwise).
When does 陽遁七局 operate?
陽遁七局 operates during the following solar-term thirds: 清明 Pure Brightness (upper third); 立夏 Beginning of Summer (middle third). The exact determination of which dun number is operating at a given moment requires chart-casting work that is the domain of the QMDJ Bootcamp curriculum and chart-aware consultation.
Should I avoid acting during 陽遁七局?
The period's general register is complicated — favourable for consultations aligned with its domain (speech, communication, sudden shocks, legal matters, youngest daughter register). However, the specific consultation reading depends on the chart cast for your question. Chart-aware reading completes the interpretation.

Master Sean Chan’s Qi Men Dun Jia forecasting consultation reads the specific question you bring against the current dun period’s chart. The reading identifies which gates / stars / spirits are activating for your question, what classical patterns are present, and the favourable timing window for your action. Zero generic advice — every consultation is chart-specific.
Master Sean Chan’s free Qi Men Dun Jia calculator plots the current chart for any time of day. Use it to see the current dun period’s gate / star / spirit / stem distribution across the nine palaces — useful for self-study, but no substitute for chart-aware reading of a specific question.
Master Sean Chan’s QMDJ Bootcamp takes you from beginner through intermediate — chart casting from date and time, the dun-period mechanism, the heaven/earth board rotation, and how to read the 9 stars / 8 gates / 8 spirits / 9 palaces / 9 stems for actual consultation questions. The bootcamp teaches the methodology these reference pages deliberately omit, so you can read charts for yourself.
