The Heaven Plate's Yi is placed on the Earth Plate's Jia, called "Qi enters the Heaven Gate," which signifies that all matters will be favorable.

Yi is placed over Ji, called 'Ri Qi Ru Wu', where the odd day is obscured by Ji earth and becomes dark, and if the gate is凶, it becomes even worse; another interpretation is called 'Yue Ru Di Hu Ge', which is highly favorable for the opposing side but less favorable for the main side.

乙加庚，為太白奇合，萬事可為，若宮門相合，尤吉；門凶稍遜。乙加辛，為青龍逃走，奴婢拐逃，六畜損傷（三門合，利主；三門制，吉變凶；門宮相生，永遠吉祥）。乙加壬，為日奇入地，主有悖亂之事，官訟是非（作事主虛張，凡為皆不實，三門合，利客）。

Yi is placed on Geng, called 'Tai Bai Qi He', which means all matters can be undertaken. If the palace and the gate are also in harmony, it is even more auspicious. However, if the gate is凶, the result is slightly less favorable. Yi is placed on Xin, called 'Qing Long Tao Zou', which indicates servants and slaves may run away or be deceived, and livestock may suffer damage.

If the gate and palace are in mutual generation, it brings long-lasting auspiciousness. Yi is placed on Ren, called 'Ri Qi Ru Di', which indicates rebellion and disorder, as well as legal disputes. Matters handled are often exaggerated, and whatever is done lacks substance. If it is in harmony with the three auspicious gates, it benefits the opposing party.

Yi is placed on Gui, called "Qí Lín Huá Gài," which is favorable for hiding one's tracks, practicing Dao, concealing one's form, and avoiding calamities, indicating good fortune. Another interpretation is that the strange star falls into the earth net, allowing the guest army to be prosperous; if it relates to military affairs, it indicates confusion, getting lost on the way, indecision in affairs, and difficulty in moving forward. However, if it combines with three auspicious gates, all matters can still be accomplished. When the heavenly stem Bing is placed on the earthly stem Wu, it is called "Fei Niao Die Xue Ge," which brings good fortune to all plans. Another interpretation is that the strange element and the gate mutually generate, benefiting the main force to go to war; if it combines with three auspicious gates, it can bring long-term prosperity.
