9 Palace + San Yuan Qi Men Dun Jia + Xuan Kong Da Gua

After a long break, its time for more work.

There is enough space on the homebrew San Yuan Qi Men Dun Jia (aka 三元奇门遁甲) and I have finally caved in to the temptation of plotting the standard 9 Palaces Qi Men Dun Jia into the inner rings.

In addition, the San Yuan Qi Men's 8 deities 八神 has been plotted as an example. Now I just need some space for the similar San Yuan Qi Men's Nine Stars plate.  A larger screen laptop will be great.  Click on the image below for better view.


Finally I was fed up with all the clicking to select and analyse Qi Men formations, so I think it will be a good idea for the computer to do the dirty work...make it pore through weeks, months or even years dates to filter specific Qi Men formations. 

Surprising when I look at the existing known Qi Men software on the market, most of them are limited to generating charts till 2017 or 2023.  Well, you have to hand it to their developers for the patience to key in all the 24 Jie Qi change over time for the next 10 years and contributing to the data bloat for their apps. 

Hack, it only one function and its less than a page......presto! A utility function that display all the Ghost Dun/鬼遁 formations for a specific time frame, say 100 years. 

There is a simple rating in the comments textbox to seek out the best Ghost Dun/鬼遁 of them all.

This certainly beats going through entire charts and tables to seek out the formation that you need.  You may need to click on the image below for better view.
