In divination for contests or competitions—whether skill-based or strength-based—the primary focus is on the Self Line (世爻) and the Opponent Line (应爻). If the goal is to win money through victory, the Wealth Line (财爻) must also be considered. Ideally, the Self Line should be strong (e.g., supported by the month or day), and the Wealth Line should be reinforced by the cyclical energies. If the Self Line moves and transforms auspiciously, or if the Opponent Line brings wealth to support the Self Line, it signals victory for the diviner 🔥. Conversely, the opponent is more likely to win. If the Sibling Line (兄弟爻) is active, it indicates financial loss; if the Officer Line (官鬼爻) restrains the Self Line, it may bring trouble or disaster ⚠️.
For activities involving bird fights (e.g., cockfighting, quail fighting), the Offspring Line (子孙爻) is the key indicator. A strong Offspring Line ensures victory, while a weak, vacant, month-broken, or harmed Offspring Line, or an active Parent Line (父母爻), often leads to financial loss 💸.
Example: On the day of Wushen in the month of Si, a divination was cast for quail fighting, resulting in the hexagram Jian (渐) transforming into Xun (巽).
Hexagram lines:
Interpretation: The Offspring Line as the Self Line, supported by the day, is inherently auspicious; the Parent Line moves but is restrained by Water (亥). Unfortunately, Water is month-broken and too weak to control Fire. Thus, fighting during the hours of Si and Wu (when Fire is strong) should be avoided. When asked for the reason, the diviner explained: during the Wu hour, the Parent Line gains power and restrains the Offspring Line, leading to defeat. Indeed, the quail won in the morning but suffered a crushing defeat at noon, resulting in financial loss 📉.
