Dear BH Lim,
Both the Grid (9 Palaces) and the Pie method have their unique usages. We need to use both methods. As a general guide, if you are measuring external environmental influences, then you need to use the Pie chart. However, when you are assessing the Qi flow internally, you can use the 9 Palaces.
Hope this helps.
Warm Regards,
Joey
