Holistic Interpretation
When choosing a feng shui master, the Response Line (应爻) in the hexagram represents the other party. If the Response Line is strong 🌱 and mutually supportive or harmonizes with the Self Line (世爻, representing the querent), even an seemingly average master can be chosen. If the Response Line is weak and clashes with or overcomes the Self Line, even a renowned master should be avoided. If both the Self and Response Lines are in a state of emptiness (空亡), it indicates no destined connection between the two parties. If the Response Line is empty or broken (破散), it suggests the other party lacks genuine talent and integrity.
A strong Response Line that mutually generates or harmonizes with the Self Line, or forms a Three Harmonies Combination (三合局) with it—regardless of whether the Response Line is associated with the Official Ghost (官鬼), Parent (父母), Wealth (妻财), or Sibling (兄弟) line—means that even if others criticize their skills, I will find resonance and默契 with them. Conversely, if the Response Line is weak and clashes with or overcomes the Self Line, even if the other party holds an expert reputation (e.g., Response Line as Official Ghost or Parent) and appears knowledgeable, they may actually misguide me. Both Self and Response Lines being empty symbolize no foundation for cooperation, while an empty or broken Response Line reveals the other party’s lack of capability and credibility.
