Danny and Jack responding to KC comments on Wen Wang Gua

>The day of divination is ox which will combine with the rat to turn into earth which will also help the subject Safin. Do you agree?

Hi KC,

In this case it is true of course, but it was only one of many factors in the reading.
The main point is that the Hour when the match was played, and the change of Hour in mid match, gave us a very good picture of how the match evolved.
This means we can use the Hour to get more details.

Doing WWG is not about sticking 100% to the methods we find described in old books, we can go further.

Obviously there were no tennis matches or stock markets in those days, so we need to use logic how we will frame the reading when want to use it for sports events or stocks.

For example we have also done some experiments on the list about football world championships and so.

I am not a football fan, but when it is going to clutter our TV screens for weeks anyway, then why not use it for some tests?

Since these tournaments start with a group stage, with 4 or 6 teams in each group, I constructed a method to do just one reading for each group, with each team getting one line.

Then we tried to predict the matches and the final winner based on very few readings, covering all the groups and teams in one go.

Prognosis for the matches was done based on the lines for each team and on the day and hour the match was played.

This worked surprisingly well.

***

For stock markets I have seen some attempts to use WWG for it, but it was not very convincing.

Some people use Subject to be the diviner and then Object represents the market.
I think that easily leads to confusing picture.

The market is basically an ongoing struggle between buyers and sellers.

When the buyers are stronger then prices tend to go up, when the sellers are more strong then prices will tend to fall.

So a more logical framework is to consider Subject = Buyers, Object = Sellers.

Then the separating lines are just the middle men (like market makers or daytraders who typically buy and sell during the day). Sometimes the Sellers will be stronger than the buyers, but prices won't go down if the middle men absorb all that selling.

The outside lines in the reading are then outside market factors like political decisions or other news items.

To me that would be a more clear mapping for market prognosis purposes.
But I haven't tested it.


>I hope to see more of these kinds of examples

Well, bringing more examples will not make my idea or the approach any clearer.

I am very much a "be your own student" type of person.

Why would anyone want to fill his cup with my tea?

If you want you can try what I say and if it works for you then you can use it.

In doing so you will have created your own examples.

But if it doesn't work for you then just throw my ideas away.

That's what I do too if something doesn't work for me.

My name is called by KC in his reply which makes me vulnerable. In fact, I haven't read the entire message which Danny put up. It's rather lengthy and supposed in details. The only comment I would offer at this stage is that the reason while we do the casting is to seize the revelation that the divine power might have on a particular event and day. In most case, it's the day of the moment of thought. In Chinese, it is called 天機.

Under general practice, we will consider the date of the event, if it is known, and look it up in the hexagram which has already been casted. It is simply because WWG has the ability to predict. There is another school of thought saying that we should use the date of event if it is known and claiming to be more accurate, even the thought came prior to the actual event. I would leave it to other people to judge. To me, it is manipulating.

Regards,
Jack
