Patrick Sia · Qimen Partner Matrix

Who is the right partner for you? For business or for life: your values, your style and your Qimen birth palace

Choose what you value in a partner, how you like to work or live together, and the components in your birth palace. Add the other person's palace to see how the two of you fit: four scores, what he/she likely values, and how to make the partnership work.

For consideration only. This page is a self-reflection and learning tool. It is not a recommendation or relationship, business, legal or financial advice. Decisions about a partner are always yours.

Learning note: The partner descriptions are general starting points for reflection. Real partnerships depend on communication, trust and effort from both sides.

The Qimen readings are practical, everyday applications of each component — not classical text. The two-person comparison uses the five-element cycle of support and control between matching components. A full reading looks at both complete charts and the question being asked.
