Learning to picture Stars in : Energetic vs Stable Stars

I will try to let everyone understand the concept of picturing of stars in ziwei. As we now know, stars are
plotted into the various courts of ziwei, and with the stars residing in the courts, the courts come alive with the
stars imparting their quality and characteristics to the courts. This is the most important aspect to understand:
the Liveliness of the Stars.

A simple way to judge the stars even before moving into their individual characteristics, is to grade them
according to their level of energy

Thus one look at a court , and when we see a certain star, we will know what kind of activity is in the court.

The stars can be simply divided into energetic ( even to the point of unstable ) and stable stars.

Energetic stars will bring lots of energy to a court, but with it comes much activity, much life changes. Thus, it
things work out well, it will bring the person to a higher level, but unfortunately, if it works out bad , the
person can end up in quite a bad state and bring much Instability. And within the Energetic stars, the stars can
be split into the more energetic ones and the more stable ones ( very much like the concept of yin and yang, but
i am deviating ). So, we know there are a group of energetic stars, and within them you have stable ones and
more energetic ones. Below i will outline the energetic stars first:

QiSha, PoChun, TanLang

, ,: These are the most energetic of the the stars. Commonly described as warrior stars,
and stars of change. Courts with these stars generally have lots of energy, but just a different quality depending
on the stars involve. is firm, persistent and will quietly accomplish a task like a quiet killer in the night, is
the most dramatic, will do all it takes to accomplish a task, is a diplomat, but still gets the job done. Thus ,
these stars in a court will bring changes, sudden energy to the court, but on the downside, more issues, more
problems if things turn out wrong. Thus instability can be a feature as well.

ZiWei, LianZhen,WuQu
,,: These stars are the stable stars within the energetic stars. In terms of energy, these are
still energetic stars, but definitely more stable than the above. Courts with these stars will have more energy
and changes do come on, but not as dramatic in changes as the above stars. Thus we have stability among
energetic stars.

The next group of stars are the Stable stars, these stars do not have as much energy as the above stars, thus
being stable is a feature, but it can also means more difficult to get out of a bad situation. Imagine you are in a
stable environment, and it is not good for you ( stable does not mean good or favourable ), it will be difficult to
move out of it.
And among the stable stars, we will have more energetic stars as well. Thus in this case, changes occurs in a
gentler environment, as compared to the above, where stability occurs in a harsh environment.

Lets start with the stable stars:

TianJi, TaiYang, TianFu

,,: These are the stable stars, but these stars are the energetic stars among the stable stars.

is about change, movement. But people tend to mis-understand this star and start placing it next to ,
,. As explained, , belongs to energetic stars , and is at the top of the energetic stars ( when
events start to change with , , , it is a whirlwind , like a storm as you walk through it) while
is actually a stable star, but also filled with changes ( but in this case, it is about changes occurring under s
sunny sun, a more gentler environment , unlike a storm ).

: is like a sun. Outgoing, shining on others, giving.

: is like a bank, conservative, but itself is like a bank, full of activity , transaction.

The next group are the are MOST stable star:( but stable may not mean good , as mentioned previously )

,,: (TaiYin, TianTong, TianLiang)

: is the moon. Whether it is full moon or moon hidden behind clouds, it is still a quiet environment and
thus the stability that comes with it. Inherently, if the moon is bright, the night will be nice, environment lighted
up . But if the moon has no brightness, the environment will be dark and cold, and frankly, it will be impossible
to change the environment.

: is like a child, and child-like characteristics is imparted to the court. Easily understood.

: This is about elderly luck, like a elder taking care of people. However, it always seems to come at a cost.
We tend to need help only when something happens. Thus imagine a stable environment with issues , you are in
it, and because the surrounding is so still and unchanging, you will feel quite helpless and basically you will feel
like you cannot get out, until elderly/noble luck comes along.

After going through the concept of energetic and stable stars for the earlier post, i went through 12
of the 14 stars, stating theirenergy level. Now we will deal with the last 2 major stars: and
.

Both of the stars are considered as stable stars, but is considered a energetic star among the
stable stars with is considered a stable star among the stable stars.
 is described mostly as a prime minister, second most of the time, never first in the court is stands,
but it imparts a certain among of authority in the court it stands, depending on brightness.

is as its name implies, a BIG DOOR. It then depends on which side of the door you are standing.
If you are always on the outside, you will never know what is happening in the house, thus most
situations are like waiting for things to happen. but if you are inside and looking out, then you know
exactly what is happening on the outside.And this star no longer gives much issue, but you will now
have the upper hand and will know what to do. Thus to have in a court can be a double edge
sword, if one looks and plans, it will be quite a good star, but if one lacks the planning , it is just
waiting for issues to occur. As it is a stable star, when issues occur, people will feel trapped, unable to
change situation and commonly it is trouble through the mouth

1. Ranking of Stars:
The system of uses stars to tell a chart. The number of stars that can be used total
over 100+ stars. These stars are graded according to ranks. The higher the rank, the more
influence it has when it is found in a sector. To make a accurate reading, we will require only to
use 32 of the highest ranking stars that this site will try to cover in the most concise and easy way
possible. The later chapters will explain these stars in more detail. The aim is not to explain these
stars in totality, but to give the most important features of the stars so that one can use it to make a
reading after going through this site. This site is not meant to provide a textbook about
, but it is meant to interest you in this topic and continue to research into . You will
find that is like forming a painting in the mind using the stars. The more u know about
the stars, the more u can visualise. I think it is not necessary at this moment to know the exact
rankings of the stars, but just understand that the stars listed in this book are the most highly
ranked. I will try to make it easy by splitting the stars as below:
14 major stars: , , ,
, .
( these are the main stars that form the charts )
6 helper stars: ,
6 aggressive stars: ,,
4 wild cards: ,
2 additional stars: ,
1. Brightness of Stars:
The stars are graded according to the brightness of the stars. The brightness can be conventionally
split into 5 levels.
: Level 5, the brightest
: Level 4, bright
: Level 3, just enough brightness
:Level 2, dim star
:Level 1, star with no brightness
Each star have their own brightness. Easily put, the brighter the star, the better it is. Each star has
their own characteristic, and with a brighter star, the better qualities of the star will be shown. The
dimmer the star, the better qualities of the star will not be shown, the bad qualities will be shown
instead. You will have a better understanding of this statement when we go into each star
explanation. But the most important rule for a accurate reading is to understand this concept of
brightness of the stars. The cut off between a bright star and a dim star is level 3 and 2. Level 3 is
acceptable, while level 2 is a dim star. So, if a star is level 3, it still have good qualities showing,
while a level 2 star will have bad qualities showing already.

1. Simple Classification of the Main Stars:

There are 14 major stars, each have their own characteristics, but they can also be put simply into
several main classification
Career stars , (ZiWei-Emperor, TaiYang-Sun, LianZhen-
Politician, TianLiang-Blessing)
Money stars ( WuQu-Finance, TianFu-Treasury, TaiYin)
Stars of Change/Movement stars : , (QiSha-Aggressive, PoChun-
Ruinous, TanLang-Flirting)
Authority star : , (TianXiang-Minister, ZiWei-Emperor)
Intelligence star (TianJi-Mercy)
Child star (TianTong-Fortune)
Mouth star: (JuMen-Quarrel)
( mouth star is associated with the issues involving the mouth. Like food, gossip, problems that
arise with talking,etc )
We should keep this simple classification in mind when we look into the charts.
Example:
If a chart has in the (work) sector: The analysis goes like this
we know that the work sector shows us the work condition and what type of work a person is
involved in. Then we look at the star in it. If is there, we must first know the brightness of
the star. If the level is 4 brightness ( ) , it shows that it is a bright star. Knowing the simple
classification that is a career star, we can conclude that this person will have good career
luck. If the is of level 1 ( ), we will conclude that the person will not have a good career.
If a chart has in the (work) sector: The analysis goes like this
we know that the work sector shows us the work condition and what type of work a person is
involved in. Then we look at the star in it. If is there, we must first know the brightness of
the star. If the level is 4 brightness ( ) , it shows that it is a bright star. Knowing the simple
classification that is a money star, we can conclude that this person can earn good money
through his work. If the is of
level 2 ( ), we will conclude that the person will not earn as much money through his work.
If a chart has in the (work) sector: The analysis goes like this
we know that the work sector shows us the work condition and what type of work a person is
involved in. Then we look at the star in it. If is there, we must first know the brightness of
the star. If the level is 4 brightness ( ) , it shows that it is a bright star. Knowing the simple
classification that is a mouth star, we can conclude that this persons work will involve the
mouth, like sales, and if the brightness is level 4, he can be do quite good in the work. If the
is of level 1( ), we will conclude that the persons work still involves the mouth, but due to the
star being level 1, he will have gossips, problems occurring especially through the mouth.
We can use this simple classification and get a rough idea about the various sectors with their
stars in it except for the movement stars. We will require more knowledge before we can
adequately interpret them in their sectors. But what we can know is that if movement stars are
present, it will require hard work.
The following chapters will deal with the individual stars themselves. The major stars, 14 of them,
form the highest ranking stars. Using the birth date/time of a person, the major stars will be
plotted into the 12 sectors. Subsequently, the 6 helper stars, 6 aggressive stars, 4 wild cards, plus 2
additional stars are also plotted. These 18 extra stars will give different probabilities and will
change a chart tremendously depending on where they go. So, besides the 14 major stars, the
other 18 stars must be there as well.

The next chapter will deal with the 6 helper stars:

&
&
&

When we use the words helper stars, we must not get the wrong idea that it is always good to have
the helper stars in any sector. Helper stars are also ruled by its own brightness. If found in a sector
with a major star, it is the major star that plays a higher influence, and if the major star is dim, the
helper star may end up helping a dim star, which makes things worst.

Before moving into each star, i will roughly run through in what ways the stars are helperstars.
this is a academic star. It will help in areas of academic fields that require calculation like
money issues, planning, etc. It also makes a person better in the academic field.
this is a expressive star. It helps in making a person more expressive, able to articulate. It
also makes the environment more lively.
this is truly a helper star. It multiplies the effects of the major star that it accompanys
( unfortunately it will help any major star, whether the major star has good or bad qualities).
this is also a helper star. It also multiplies the effects of the major star that it accompanys
( unfortunately it will help any major star, whether the major star has good or bad qualities).
/ these two helper stars ensures the person receives help from elders. It has the
weakest influence compared to the 4 above. It will show these qualities only in the company of
stars that exhibit good qualities or when it stands alone in a sector. If the major star has bad
qualities, these two stars will be too weak to have any effect.

The above chart shows the level of brightness of the star in each of the 12 sectors. Level 5 being
the brightest and Level 1 being no brightness.
Thus Level 3 5: The stars will exhibit its good qualities as stated earlier. Level 5 being the best
qualities. Thus at level 5 will give the sector its good qualities. Example:
If is found at sector, it will have a level brightness of 5. If the sector is the ( brother )
sector, the persons whose chart is being told, his siblings will be highly educated, academically
sound.
If is found at , and it is still the brother sector, it will be the total opposite. The siblings
will be not that highly educated.

From this example we can see the importance of knowing the brightness of the stars in each sector.
If is found at , it has level 5 brightness. If it is at the ( wealth ) sector ( we now know
that the wealth sector is how a person earn his money and spend his money), we will conclude
that he will earn his money through expression, most likely through articulation, talking. At , he
will be able to talk very well and it helps him to earn money. The way he earns money will be
very lively, most likely a lively workplace. Thus the here in the wealth sector is beneficial to
him.
If is found at , it has level 1 brightness. If it is at the ( wealth ) sector , we will
conclude that the way he earns money does not require him to articulate well, and he does not
know how to articulate well in earning money. His workplace is also not lively. Thus, this
here in the wealth sector is not beneficial to him.

With the above examples, we now know that the helper stars and must be of
adequate brightness before it is really helpful in the chart.

/ Zuo Fu (Aide)/ You Bi (Support)

/ belongs to the class of helper stars. The 2 stars essentially can be viewed to have the same
brightness in every sector. When put together with other stars, it will help multiply the effects of
the other stars. Thus to make the best use of these 2 stars, these 2 stars must be with stars that are
exhibiting good qualities. If with stars that have bad qualities, it will also multiply the bad
qualities as well. Thus these two stars are essentially double edged swords.
If found alone without any major stars, it will exhibit its own qualities.
this star is considered the male half of these pair of stars. It is usually associated with
males. To describe its character, i will describe it as one who is willing to help someone in need
by moving forward and lifting the person, and in helping the person does not expect anything in
return and without any motive. When appears in a sector, it usually means the help is from
peers ( friends ) and not form elders. Usually peers who are male.
this star is considered the female half of the pair of stars. It is usually associated with
females. To describe its character, i will describe it as one who is willing to help someone in
need by not moving forward but just by holding out her hand so that the person can hold on to it
and not fall. Thus this star will not help as much as its counterpart, will generally help those that
she knows and not strangers, and in helping someone, she usually has an ulterior motive.
When appears in a sector, it usually means the help is from peers who are female.
Special Scenario: A scenario worth mentioning is when or or both appears in the
spouse sector. When this happen, it is very likely that the person will have more than 1 marriage.
This is due to peers helping in the spouse sector, which is not considered good.
Example:
If is found in the wealth sector, together with : the analysis goes like this
The wealth sector decides how a person earns money, spend money, how much money he can
have at hand. If the is level 4 brightness , and knowing that it is a money star, it means
that the person can earn quite a good salary. Thus with accompanying it, it means the person
can make a lot more now, and peers who are usually males will help him make more money.
If the is level 1 brightness in the wealth sector, it means his salary is quite low. With
accompanying it, it makes it worse, and the person will end up making even less money. Males
around him will help him in making less money.
With the example, it shows again how important the brightness of stars are.

/ Tian Kui (Status) / Tian Yue (Reputation)

These twostars are of the less influence as compared to the above 4 helper stars mentioned.
When these 2 stars appear in a sector, it usually means help can be obtained from Elders.
 There is a slight difference between both of the stars, but i think it is not necessary at this stage.
Just understand that it means elderly help.
It will show these qualities only in the company of stars that exhibit good qualities or when it
stands alone in a sector. If the major star has bad qualities, these two stars will be too weak to
have any effect. Thus it has no multiplying effect on stars like or .
The brightness is considered the same in every sector.

6 Aggressive Stars
& forms a pair. is always ahead of by 2 sectors in a clockwise fashion. Eg, if is in
the spouse sector, will be found in the life sector. If is found in the life sector, will be in
the sector. The method for plotting is based on the year the person is born, which i will not
elaborate here.

(QingYang-Destruction, TuoLuo-Obstruction)
The pair of stars is a pair of stars that can create great impact in the charts.
: This star be found in all sectors of a chart except, . will never be found
in these 4 sectors. The important association with is the knife, sword. When we see in
any sector, this is what should come to mind. As u can see, with such a association, most people
will regard this star as a bad star. I will simply view this star as a aggressive star, and whenever
it is good a bad will depends on where and with what star it accompanys.

is also a star with its own brightness. Instead of 5 grades, we simply grade it as bright or dim.
The star is bright when found in sectors: .
When bright, the star will display a strong character, wants a certain amount of power, have
plans/ideas to overcome problems.
The star is dim when found in sectors:
When dim, the star will display a weaker character, may not want to hold on to power, lack of
ideas/plans.
Thus to read a chart with inside, we must remember its brightness and that it is associated with
a knife. In addition, it is also associated with competition, and , people out to make
problems for u.
Example:
If the (wealth) sector has as well as at sector: the analysis goes like this
Wealth sector is how u earn money, and how u spend money. is a money star, and it is level
5 brightness at sector. Thus it means the person can earn lots of money, and have lots of
money at hand to spend. at sector is bright. Thus it shows that he shows a strong character,
especially in wanting to earn money, has his own ideas/plans, do not like other people to interfere.
But is associated with a knife, thus imagine a knife cutting into the money star. This means
the person has the ability to earn money, but it may end up he will lose money when the knife
cuts into it, by either spending it, losing it at work/business. Competition is also there in that
sector.This problem will be less if the way he earns money has something associated with a
knife, like being a surgeon, chef, someone that wields a knife.
( as shown in the example, analysis has quite a bit of association and using this association
to explain as above. Over the course of this book, more examples will be discussed and you will
get a deeper understanding. )
If wealth sector has and at sector: the analysis goes like this
Wealth sector is how u earn/spend money. at sector has level1 brightness. Thus it means
the persons salary is not very high. If we add on to this wealth sector, the here is dim in
brightness. Thus it means he has not much plans, no ideas when it comes to earning money. There
will also be competition and competitors. And being a knife, it will cut the up, and it makes
the money situation worse. To make this situation better is to earn money through the knife, so
that it does not cut the . Thus the person may be better in a trade that has knife in it as
mentioned above.

: This star be found in all sectors of a chart except, . will never be found
in these sectors. The important association with is a spinning top. When we see in any
sector, this is what should come to mind. The character is that of going round and round like a top.
( like ) is also a star with its own brightness. Instead of 5 grades, we simply grade it as
bright or dim.

The star is bright when found in sectors: .
When bright, the star will display a stubborn character. Is willing to do work that seem not too
glamorous, eg. Sweeping floor, washing, etc .
The star is dim when found in sectors: ,
When dim, the star will display a more stubborn character, will take a lone time to decide,
keeping thinking of issues over and over again. Thus it will make the person appear slow and not
very bright.
 Thus to read a chart with inside, we must remember its brightness and that it is associated
with a top. The difference between and is that is associated with knife and it is fast
and quick, while is associated with a top and has a tendency to be slow, not moving but
staying in the same place.
Example:
If the (wealth) sector has as well as at sectorthe analysis is
As mentioned above, with at , the person can earn lots of money. With , accompanying,
the person may appear slow, especially in areas of earning and spending money, people may view
him as not very bright in issues involving money. Thus with , the person can earn money, but
money may be lost due to him behaving like a top. If is located in a sector like which
makes it dim, the effects will be worse.

, (HuoXing-Turmoil, LingXing-Turbulence)
both means FIRE. The characteristic of these two stars will thus reflect that of a fire.
Like fire, it gives the surroundings a lively nature.
Fire has a fiery temper, quick temper.
Fire tend to be fashionable, either in fashion sense or technology sense
Fire tend to have a good memory
Fire is a aggressive star, and in giving the above characteristic to a sector, it tends to make a
sector more lively(good), fiery (bad).
are alike as above, but these two has slight differences as well.
tend to bear grudges against people, while usually not.
In terms of appearance, tend to look better than .
Special Scenario: a special scenario is when or accompanies with . This is known
as or . This combination will give the sector sudden explosive luck.
Example:
If is found in the ( work ) sector: the analysis is as such
The person work is like a fire. Can mean the persons work environment is lively, but it can also
get very fierce. If there is a actual fire in the environment, its fiery nature will be less felt by the
person. The persons worklife is also like a fire, work life is not constant, likely to work
sometimes, and then stop working.
If and is found in the work sector, the person can have good explosive luck at work.
Brightness in each sector:

(DiKong-Nullity, DiJie-Calamity)

This pair of stars are plotted based on the time of birth. Its effects are not as strong as the above 4
aggressive stars, but it also adds an dimension to the chart.
 : This star has the name of Inner Emptiness.
: This star has the name of External Emptiness.
I will bring you through what the 2 stars mean:
: This star if present in the sector gives a feel of emptiness. This emptiness is inherent,
branches from the inner self. It usually makes one more abstract, the person with a , is quite
good in maths,physics, philosophy. But it can make the person more detached, which makes the
person stay in a world of his own. makes a person more directed towards religion, philosophy,
unconventional thoughts/ideas. A word of caution, if exists in a sector, and it does not have the
above character, it is likely the sector will be full of emptiness,eg in child sector, there will be
emptiness which means no children..
: This star if present in the sector gives a feel of emptiness, but this emptiness does not
branch from the inner self, but tend to be due to emptiness coming from the environment. The
person with is also more directed towards religion, philosophy, unconventional thoughts like
fengshui, fortune telling, etc, but these do not come naturally to the person, but the person tend to
be affected by unconvention in the environment making him direct towards such ideas. ( thus
the name External Emptiness ).In the same way as , can cause emptiness in the sector.
Example:
If is found in the ( wealth )sector: the analysis is as such
Having in the wealth sector can be quite bad. The wealth sector is how we earn money/spend
money. is equal to being unconventional, unconventional ideas. Thus in wealth sector, if the
persons job has nothing to do with unconvention, like earning money through religion, fenghui
master, philosophy, etc, will only create emptiness in the sector, thus making one not being
able to earn money. The above is a good example of how we can make use of our chart to
decide on how we can earn money.
[20]
If is in the ( work ) sector: the analysis is as such
Work sector determines the the work we are doing, how is our work environment. If is there, it
can mean there is a emptiness in the workplace or unconventional ideas in environment. The
workplace should have unconventional/philosophy/religion ideas, maybe like abstract art,
temple, church. If there is no unconvention in the workplace, the persons working life will be
full of emptiness in the environment, and may result in the person unable to work at all.
& has slightly different brightness in different sector, but for our purpose, we can
assume same brightness in the sectors.

4 Wild Cards /
The next 4 stars are stars which changes according to the year of birth. To describe them as wild
cards is quite appropriate as u will discover as i continue to explain them to you.
The 4 stars are not actual stars that have their own characteristic, but they are tag-on stars. By
tag-on, i mean the 4 wild cards will attach themselves to 4 of the major stars and envelope the
stars.
When the wild card is tagged on the major star, it modifies the major star. The major star still
has it own character, but it is modified depending on which wild card is attached to it.
Thus, to know the actual effect of the wild card, we need to know the character of the major star
and the way the wild card modifies it.
Let me introduce you to the 4 wild cards
: (HuaLu-Flow) this wild card when tagged onto a major star, will modify it by increasing
its effects terms of improving its effects in terms of improving Relationship,Wealth.
: (HuaQuan-Authority) this wild card when tagged onto a major star, will modify it by
increasing its effects in terms of improving Authority, Power.
: (HuaKe-Fame) this wild card when tagged onto a major star, will modify it by
increasing its effects in terms of improving Competence, Academic Knowledge.
: (HuaJi-Cloud) this wild card when tagged onto a major star, will modify it by giving
problems, creating a flaw in the character of the star.
A simple understanding is that , , will make the star better while will not.
These 4 wild cards has no brightness of its own. Its brightness depends on the brightness of the
major stars. In the same way brightness of stars function, the brighter the star the better. So, if ,
, attaches to a level 5 star, it will help to make to make the star better. If ,, attaches
itself to a level 1 star, its effects will not be felt much. The best scenario is for ,, to attach
themselves to a level 5 star, thus making ,, brightness at level 5 too.
If is attached to a level 5 star, its bad effects will not be felt as much, as a level 5 star will
show off a lot of the good qualities of the star. If is attached to a level 1 star ( level 1 star has
no brightness and will show the bad qualities of a star ), it will make the bad qualities worse.
Out of the 14 major stars, only certain stars will , , , . I will not go into what
stars, but you need to understand the basic principle of the 4 wild cards as stated above. I will give
a few examples below to explain:
: (HuaLu-Flow)
has attached to it in the wealth sector. is a money star, and if attaches on
( we know that this wild card improves the wealth/relationship factor), it will help the major star
obtain more wealth. has a no nonsense, straightward character, but with , it helps him to
relate to people better, thus improving its inter-personal relationship as well when he earns money.
However, how much the can improve the major star will depend on the brightness of the
major star. If is level 5 brightness, the wild card also has level 5 brightness and will multiply
the good qualities many times. If the is like level 2, then attaching a to it will not help
it as much. The will also be level 2 brightness .Thus the after will be better than
not having the wild card. But imagine two level 2 stars compared to two level 5 stars; i believe u
can see the difference.
If the major star that the wild card is attached to is not a money star, the wild card will help the
major star mainly through the relationship factor, and minimally through the wealth factor. Thus,
the best scenario is for to attach itself to a level 5 money star to achieve the maximum effect.
: (HuaQuan-Authority)
has attached to it in the work sector. is a career, authority star. is a wild
card that improves the authority/power factor of a star. Thus with it will help the major star
improve its authority, and help further improve the career. exists from level 3 to level 5
brightness, thus will help improve it, except it will help level 5 brightness more than level 3.
has attached to it in the work sector. is a mouth star. Knowing that is a
wild card that improves the authority/power factor of a star. Thus putting these two stars
together, will make the star speak with authority. Thus, if the star is at level 5 brightness,
then the star will speak with authority at work, and most likely hold a position of authority in
order to be so. However, if the level of brightness is only at level 1, instead of the , the star
will still not do well at work. Because the mouth star is dim, it will still have problems with
gossips at work, and problems will arise when he talks. In fact, the wild card here actually
makes the situation at work worse, because the person still wants to speak with authority inspite
of the problems that can arise when he speaks.
(HuaKe-Fame)
This is the weakest in strength when compared with the other 3 wild cards.
has attached in the work sector together with . is a career star and when
found in the work sector, it will depend on the brightness of the star. If has level 5
brightness, it means he will have a good career, especially among males in the work place. Here
there is with , which means there is help with females as well (as is usually
associated with females) and this help are people who are very competent, academically sound
( due to the fact there is attached to it ).As the major star is very bright, competent help will
push the career higher.
If the is of level 1 brightness, the situation will not be good. Here the career star is dim,
meaning the person will not have a good career. The with , shows that there are
competent female help in the work sector. But in this case, the help actually further worsen the
career.
If has attached to it in the wealth sector. We know that wealth sector is how we earn
money , and how we spend money. With is there, we need to know the brightness of the star.
If it is Level 5, it means he can articulate (express ) himself very well, and he uses it to earn his
money. With attached ( it will also have level 5 brightness) , it adds a new dimension to
it. will make his more academic ( like dealing with issues that require calculation like
finance issues). It also makes him more competent in earning money.
If the has only level 1 brightness, it will mean he does not have the gift to talk, express to
earn money. Thus it will decrease his ability in the wealth sector. If is attached, the
will make the academic. Thus inspite of the being level 1, the actually makes
the situation a bit better by making the more competent.

(HuaJi-Cloud) is a wild card that can fill a whole book, but it is not the purpose of this
book to do so. Let us get a better understanding of the wild card. The wild card is a tag-on to a
star, and will give the star problems. The type of problems that the wild card will give will
correspond to the characteristic of the star it attaches to. I will give u all the possible examples
that can be found with the wild card. The wild card will only attach to 9 stars out of the many
stars, and depending on which year the person is born, only one star will be affected by .
Below will show all the stars that will attached to.
: (HuaJi-Cloud)
1. : the area of problem is with career, males
2. : the area of problem is with money, feelings, females
3. : the area of problem is with planning, the law
4. : the area of problem is with the mouth, gossips
5. : the area of problem is with intelligence, chances
6. : the area of problem is with expression, articulation
7. : the area of problem is with academic issues, finance, paper-work
8. : the area of problem is with money
9. : the area of problem is with relationship, talent, luck
The severity of the problem that the wild card will give depends on the brightness of the star it
attaches to. If the star has level 5 brightness, the wild card will also has level 5 brightness and will
not give as much problem when compared to a level 1 star, and a level 1 wild card.
The topic about can create a lot of controversies. Different schools in will give
different stars that will undergo . The main aim of the book is to help readers understand the
basic concept of the stars / wild cards. Thus i will not go deeper into this topic. As a sidetrack i
will mention that different schools also give different importance to the rule of brightness. But i
will not deal into this topic as well.
Example:
If has attached the wealth sector. The wealth sector determines how we earn money,
how we spend money, the amount of money we have at hand. is a money star and the next
step is to look at the brightness of the star. If the star is level 5 brightness, then we can conclude
that the person will be able to earn a lot of money. But if the is attached here, it means the
person will have problems with money as is a money star , and being in the wealth sector, it
involves how he earns money. Thus the person may have difficulties while earning money. In this
case, the star is level 5 brightness, thus the money problems is not that severe. He still will earn
good money, but have money problems on/off. If the is of low brightness, like level 2, then
he will have money problems.

Two Additional Stars (-TianMa-Celestial Horse, -LuCun-

Treasurer)
These two stars are the last 2 stars that we will look into.
: This star will only be found in .
This star actual describes a horse. Like a horse, it is always on the move, a free spirit.
Whichever sector it falls into, it will impart this character to it.
The star is considered the same brightness in any of the 4 sectors.

Example:

If is found in the work sector: the analysis goes like this,

The work sector tells us how a person works, what the work place is like. Here with in it, it
shows that the persons work will most probably involve travelling. He will need to move about
in his work. Unlikely to be in a deskbound job. But, it can mean the persons work has a unsteady
component to it. If the persons work does not involve movement/ travelling, this unsteady
component will be more obvious in the work.
 : This is known as a small money god.
It will not give a person lots of money, but will provide enough for a person to eat,live
adequately.
The star has a character that is conservative (non-risk taking), stingy (very careful with money,
not willing to spend, a bit self-centred).
When in a sector,it will make the sector conservative, provide enough. But if in the company of
bright stars, it will make the star conservative, and thus the stars will not perform as well,
indirectly reducing the brightness of the star. In the company of dim stars, its conservative
nature will help this dim stars instead and provide enough for the sector.
It can be considered having same brightness in any sector.
It is always found in the sector behind and infront of .
Example:

Special scenario:
There is a special scenario when both and is found in the same sector. Here we have
a star that is constantly on the move together with a conservative star that does not want to move.
If both these stars occur together, there will be wealth to obtain. Unlike when there is only ,
where the wealth is limited.

Meaning Of Courts In (ZiWei)

Posted on February 23, 2011 by admin| Leave a comment

As mentioned in the Introduction to a chart , there are 12 sectors in a chart that can stand for various courts
like ,, etc that states the important parts in ones life. Most books will tell you these courts stands for
your parents, wife, etc
I will now try to bring another perspective of a chart here. One important fact we must understand is that
not only do the represents the person, the whole 12 sector chart also represents the person, whose Birth
Date and Time is used to generate the chart. So, what does that mean?

Here is the part most books never talk about or try to bring out to you. The different courts represents what that
sector thinks/feels about the person, since the whole 12 sector chart represents the person as well,eg;

1. represents the person, and it actually only represents the character of the person, the inner self of the
person, which most people may not see or understand. Sometimes the person himself may not even know what
his character is like.

2. represents a snap shot of what the parents are like, but more accurately, it represents what the parents
think of him/her and what their relationship is like.
3. is the external court, which is what the external environment is like, but more accurately represents what
people think of him/her when they first meet the person, the First contact Impression.

4. is what the friends are like but more accurately describes what the friends think of him or her.

thus this principle works for all the courts that can be found in the chart.

Doesnt that add a new dimension to the chart

Analysis of Life Chart

Armed with all the information of the site, you will be prepared to make a analysis of a life chart.
A life chart looks like the below, and based on the date and time of birth, all the stars must be
plotted into the chart. I have not wrote about plotting of stars in this book. The most important
aspect is to understand the stars and how to interpret the chart. Plotting of the chart is
computerized nowadays, and can be obtained through certain websites on the internet.
Over the next 3 chapters, I will run through the essential steps in analyzing the life chart:
we must understand that about : this court will tell us what the persons focus in life will be,
roughly from 30s onwards..
We look at the various sectors from ,, , , etc to find out what the persons parents, mental
health, property, work, etc is like based on the stars inside the sectors.
One point to note is that the stars in the various sectors shows the potential of the sector, and we
usually look at the more important courts of work ,external court , wealth ,
to see the Potential of these courts which directly affect the outcome of this persons life.
Thus, with the Life chart, we have the POTENTIAL of the of the person, but what then determines the
outcome of a persons life?
The answer is the LUCK PERIODS.
Now lets move to the next chapter

14-23
4-13 24-33 34-43

114-123 44-53

104-113 54-63

94-103 84-93 74-83 64-73
Ten Year Luck Reading
The Ten Year Luck Period is one of the most essential aspect of chart reading. Ten Luck periods are
in 10 year blocks. If the life chart is plotted from the computer, the luck periods will be written at the
bottom of each box. Eg. As shown in the chart below, there are numbers at the bottom of each chart,
4-13 means the luck period from the age 4 to 13 ( Chinese age : a persons Chinese age is usually 1
more than his actual age, thus the actual luck period is from 3 to 12 years of age ). And the rest of the
luck periods run as shown using the age provided in the chart.
The luck period means the type of luck or what the person will experience in the 10 years period
of his/her life. We must take this in context togther with the stars in the various sectors reflecting
the potential of each sector, and the for the focus in life.
But the quickest way to assess a persons chart is to look at the persons important courts, which
are work ,external court , wealth . These courts give the persons potential for these areas ,
and together with the Luck periods, we will know the persons life quite well.
We must understand that the stars within the Luck period during the 10years are
the most important, and most relevant, as it tells us what is happening in the
10years. To illustrate: if a persons wealth sector is bad, it simply means his
potential to earn money is bad. To see what he can actually achieve we need to
look at the 10 year Luck periods. If the person has a bad luck 10 year period,
he/she will do quite badly, and money wise will thus be bad, as his potential is
bad and the 10 year Luck period is bad
However, if the person has a good ten year Luck period, and the luck periods
shows a good money star, like with level 5 brightness, the person will still be
able to do very well in this 10 years and earn quite good money, because is a
money star, and since it is brightest at level 5, it means he can do very well
earning money, even though this person has bad potential meaning a bad
wealth court.This is what it means when one say the luck may play a bigger
picture than ones potential. But this is limited to the 10 years of the Luck period. If
the court for the next 10 years does not have a good money star, the persons
bad wealth potential will show up. This is commonly said by people when one
luck runs out.
If a persons wealth court is good, like at level 5 brightness, it means the
persons wealth potential is good.Thus, what this person is waiting for is just
good luck periods to begin accumulating wealth. The person just needs generally
good 10 year luck, and these 10 year luck does not need to be good money stars.
Just stars that is bright . This is in sharp contrast to a person with bad wealth
potential. This person will need good 10 year luck and this Luck period needs to
be bright MONEY stars.

Yearly Luck Reading

To find out what the year luck or what the year will be like, we will simply look at the stars in
the sector. If this is the year of the rat, we will look at the rat sector, analyse the stars within the
sector, and it will tell us what the year will roughly be like. If the rat sector has eg; ,we will
analsye it as such: the mouth star and its brightness is level 4. This year will have issues of
the mouth, more gossips, more problems arising from peoples problems. As the level is
brightness 4, most of the issues will turn out fine, but after much talking/persuasion. But the year
luck is simply a modification of the 10 year luck. It means the 10 year luck plays a more
important role than the yearly luck. eg, If the person has a good 10 year luck star like level 5
brightness, it means the person can earn good money for the 10 years. The yearly luck will change according to
each year passing, but the main emphasis is still good money luck, but each year brings on more variety to the
scenario. If the yearly luck has level 4 brightness, then it means more talk, possibly more gossips, more
problems solved by talking, and in the meantime, the person can earn good money by using the mouth, or
through back end planning, in the backgound, as is a dark star and generally menas nagivating/planning
in the dark or back end work.
If it is the rabbit year, we will look at the stars in the rabbit year, etc
