How to use this in a reading
Use it to ask what needs inspection, repair, support, or containment. Keep symbolic “illness” language separate from any actual medical assessment.
- Name the visible chart fact before assigning symbolic meaning.
- Compare the asker and matter anchors with every layer in their palaces.
- Record at least one supporting condition and one counter-signal.
- End with a reversible action and an observable review point.
Worked contrast
Tian Rui with adequate support can show a problem that is observable and treatable; void or repeated stagnation may show missing information or delayed response rather than a diagnosis.
Common mistake and limit
Tian Rui cannot diagnose disease, identify a patient, or predict recovery. Use clinicians, tests, records, and urgent care when relevant.
