Fear Door
The Fear Door belongs to yin Metal, with its original palace at Dui 7. A baleful door, it governs fright, quarrels of the tongue, and legal trouble — favorable for courtroom advocacy, ambush and intimidation, and capturing fugitives; unfavorable for business dealings and marriage.
Classical Verse
景上投书并破阵,惊能擒讼有声名。(At Scenery, submit petitions and break the enemy's formation; Fright can seize litigants and win renown.)
《烟波钓叟歌 (Song of the Old Fisherman of the Misty Waves)》 · 八门吉凶 (The Fortunes of the Eight Doors)

Rumors swirl at work, sudden changes keep nerves on edge, and reports invite public grilling. Roles that live by the tongue — lawyers, client service, negotiation, sales — draw strength instead. Words now multiply mistakes: gossip less about personnel matters, and script important statements before opening your mouth.
Money-making comes with alarms: accounting disputes, customer claims, and contract wrangles arrive one after another. Trades that profit by eloquence — law, streaming, brokerage — can still earn. In investing, beware sudden bad news scaring you into selling at the bottom: a weak Fear Door's scare is mostly hollow, a strong one mostly real — see clearly before you move.
Love is beset by verbal strife: misunderstandings, rumors, and suspicion take turns on stage, and one heated remark can fuel a three-day quarrel. Bicker less, verify more, and let no outsider carry messages. Divining relationship doubts: a weak Fear Door is usually a false alarm; strong, verify seriously before deciding.
It governs palpitations, insomnia, anxiety and panic, and ailments of the lungs, mouth, and teeth answer to this door as well. Those shaken by a fright should calm the spirit and keep regular hours. Recheck any abnormal test result before worrying — false alarms predominate; but dreading the diagnosis and putting off the check is what truly does harm.
The road brims with false alarms: missed-flight scares, feared losses of valuables, and sudden incidents test the heart in turn. Keep documents and valuables on your person and build slack into the schedule. A weak Fear Door means scares without harm; strong, better to postpone — and never walk night roads alone.
The Fear Door natively governs litigation: for answering suits and courtroom debate it is a strong ally — eloquence converts directly into odds. As defendant you can snatch victory from the alarm; as plaintiff, guard against the counterbite. The witness phase is volatile: lock in key testimony early and prepare contingencies.
