particularly in matters of the heart. It is most fortunate to find it in your relationship palace. It supplies honor, kindness, and assistance in whatever life palace it is found in.

Tian Kui brings yang Fire energy and assistance from benefactors, elders, mentors, superiors, and

generally supportive people. It makes recognition possible. The entire life is enhanced by this star. If

you find it in your chart, expect the appearance of helpful individuals. Where Tian Kui shines, luck

seeks you out in the form of a timely helping hand. You may not be able to recognize these helpful people in the moment, but you will definitely recognize this star's influence in retrospect.

Tian Yue brings yin Fire energy and opportunities stemming from rules, regulations, policies, and

authorities. It brings favorable contacts with the opposite sex and helpful people who guide, protect,

and points you in the right direction. The life palace where it is placed, suggests from where this assistance will come.

The Major Indicators of Intelligence and Talent

nontraditional education, especially in metaphysics or spiritual subjects. Verbal skills are indicated,

The Signposts: The Four Life Milestones

Hong Luan indicates marriage, romantic associations, love, and possible pregnancy. It is a milestone

energy of love and romance. When this star aligns every 12 years with the original birth position,

romantic turning points (betrothal, engagement, or beginning of new relationship) occur. This enchanted star forms an auspicious pair with the happiness/joy (birth) star.

Tian Yao indicates enjoyment of the arts and a knack for entertaining, networking, and merriment. It

is also an energy of romance-clandestine affairs, chance encounters, and frivolous romantic pursuits

are found along its path. With Tian Yao, an accidental encounter with a stranger can send the heart

aflutter and become the turning point in a once ordinary existence. The life palace this romantic

energy is placed in will indicate the decade when this encounter will occur, and will delineate the

specifics surrounding that encounter.

Tien Xi indicates celebrations, great happiness, and favorable activities. Like Hong Luan, it can presage major events such as marriage, the birth of children, or an important karmic relationship.

Tian Xing brings difficult situations and "heavenly punishment." Found in the destiny palace, it reveals an influential, fair-minded person with good leadership skills who can also feel alone and

isolated at times. This milestone star can indicate a great loss, a death, or catalytic event that brings with it a new perspective on life. It reveals new horizons that open from adversity.

The Main Energy of Travel, Change, and Movement

Tian Ma brings pure yang Fire, mobility, activity, and action wherever it is found. This "steed" is a

powerful stallion that flies across the sky with both grace and fortitude. In the destiny palace, it

the ability to avert danger. A definite enhancer to any life palace, this star brings the good to new

heights and thwarts the detrimental powers of dark stars. It is an indication of added protection and

prosperity. This is also a healing star-the decade in which it is active will see a new beginning in which past hurts or losses are finally put to rest.

The Six Sha )'ao: The Dark Stars

These stars hamper the major stars and negate the positive effects of assisting energies. In certain

situations, they can help mitigate the negative impact of some of the more difficult stars (such as Sha

Qi) in a life palace. The palace or palaces in which these stars are located will indicate when you will

be prone to misfortune or untimely death caused by accidents or unexpected tragedies. From a more positive perspective, they exist as a balancing factor and as a reminder of possible misfortune.

Huo Xing generates unfavorable events that tend to happen quickly. Its presence casts a dark cloud

over the palace in which it is placed. When found in the destiny palace, it reveals an intense,

controlling, and abrasive personality, especially when it is accompanied by other negative stars. In

the destiny palace, it can indicate a difficult childhood, an early departure from the parents, or other

events that occur suddenly. More positively, the yang Fire energy of this star brings troubles into the open.
