Cloud Escape
The Yi wonder meets one of the three auspicious doors over earth-plate Xin — like a body veiled in purple cloud, its form hidden in the mist. Favorable for praying for rain and moisture, working quietly, and completing the task behind cover.
Formation
Heaven plate Yi + one of the three auspicious doors + Earth plate Xin
Classical Verse
天上六乙合六辛,临三吉门云遁取。 (Six Yi above joined with Six Xin, meeting the three auspicious doors — take this as Cloud Concealment.)

Favors quiet advancement among stronger rivals: shun the limelight, do the work in silence, and come review time you finish ahead. Take on the thorny tasks others avoid and earn merit where no one is looking; grabbing credit loudly makes you the common target — hide the blade and keep the modest craft.
Seek wealth through deliberate haze: quote no open price, show no bottom line, and bargain your way to good terms amid the mist. Favorable for agriculture, rainwear, and humidity-related trades; keep investments dispersed and unseen — wealth undisplayed, quietly gathered in, is this pattern's true reading.
Love ripens best in soft focus: a little distance, a little nearness adds allure, while forcing clarity scatters the cloud and the charm with it. With rivals about, composure serves best; where a rift has opened, cool it for a few days and let the sky clear — reconciliation follows of itself.
Symptoms tend to be vague and intermittent, appearing and fading; get systematic examinations to part the cloud rather than self-medicating on guesswork. Respiratory and damp skin conditions treat well now; convalesce somewhere secluded and mild, mending slowly — no harsh remedies.
Travel low-key and unobserved: shun the rush, go off-peak, and the road stays quiet and smooth. Overcast, cloudy days suit the journey — they answer the image; keep the itinerary unannounced, and a last-minute change of route may sidestep trouble. Carry rain gear against showers on the way.
In litigation, defend rather than attack: play for time, answer in ambiguities, and let the other side lose formation guessing at your position. No open confrontations or loud declarations; the window for private settlement usually opens mid-stalemate — seize the first parting of the clouds and close the matter.
