Zi Wei Dou Shu Constellation: Dan Chi Gui Chi

The Dan Chi Gui Chi constellation refers to Tai Yang (the Sun) residing in the Dragon palace and Tai Yin (the Moon) residing in the Dog palace, with the Destiny palace positioned in either the Dragon or Dog palace. Alternatively, it can refer to the Sun in the Snake palace and the Moon in the Rooster palace, with the Destiny palace positioned in either the Snake or Rooster palace.

An ancient verse says:
“The two stars shine brightly and find their rightful place,
Their talent and reputation define a hero,
In youth, success is achieved and a career in government begins,
One step to the sky transforms into a dragon.”

In ancient times, when the brightest Sun resided in the Destiny palace, it was referred to as “Dan Chi” (Sun terrace), and when the brightest Moon resided in the Destiny palace, it was called “Dan Chi” (Moon terrace).

In the past, success in the imperial examinations and obtaining a government position were highly valued, while the wealth of merchants was less respected. Therefore, the Dan Chi Gui Chi constellation was considered highly beneficial for pursuing fame. This led to ancient sayings such as:
– “When the Sun occupies the Rabbit/Cat palace, wealth and honor will follow.”
– “If the Sun occupies the Destiny palace in Rabbit/Cat, Dragon, Snake, or Horse and encounters auspicious stars, great nobility is assured.”
– “The Moon in the Rat palace is like the Moon’s reflection on crystal waters, allowing one to achieve a significant and influential position, becoming a loyal and righteous advisor.”
– “When the Moon shines in the Pig palace, promotions and honors will come swiftly.”
All these sayings emphasize the brightest positions of the Sun and Moon.

However, later scholars leaned toward finding constellations where both stars were bright, aiming to enhance the prestige of the natal chart. This led to the creation of constellations such as “Ri Yue Jing Ming” (The Sun and Moon shine together) and “Ri Yue Hui Ming” (The Sun and Moon unite in brightness). The names “Dan Chi” and “Gui Chi” became less commonly used.

This constellation has strict conditions. First, it must encounter a Wealth (Lu) star. Second, it needs to meet auspicious stars such as Wen Qu, Wen Chang, and Zuo Fu, You Bi. Lastly, it should encounter a few malefic stars like Huo Xing, Ling Xing, Qing Yang, Tuo Luo. If these conditions are met, the chart’s structure becomes highly favorable, making it less reliant on specific constellations.

Zi Wei Dou Shu Constellation: Ju Men Encountering The Four Malefic Stars

The Ju Men Encountering The Four Malefic Stars constellation refers to the dark Ju Men being debilitated in the Body palace, while the four malefic stars Huo Xing, Ling Xing, Qing Yang, Tuo Luo reside in the Destiny palace.

An ancient verse says:
“Ju Men falls into debilitation in the Body palace,
And the four malefic stars reside in the Destiny palace,
If no auspicious stars appear to resolve the malice,
The person will be exiled to distant lands.”

This constellation is considered problematic. There are some doubts about its exact interpretation. Based on a Zi Wei Dou Shu book, it says: “Ju Men in the Body or Destiny palace encountering these malefic stars is dangerous; if the opposite palace also has Huo Xing, Ling Xing, Bai Hu, and lacks the major star Zi Wei, or Lu Cun, the person may face exile to the ends of the earth.”

It is said here that, regardless of whether Ju Men resides in the Destiny palace or the Body palace, only when the opposite palace contains malefic stars does the person have a “destiny of exile” (which in ancient times referred to being conscripted into the military, a form of exile). This is different from having Ju Men in the Body palace and the four malefic stars in the Destiny palace. However, the Body palace often overlaps with the Travel palace, which is why astrologers in the Ming dynasty interpreted this as Ju Men and the four malefic stars being divided between the Body palace and the Destiny palace.

The confusion stems from the ancient verse structure, where the seven-character line rules may have led to an unclear explanation. Ju Men in the Destiny palace, encountering Qing Yang and Tuo Luo, was historically believed to indicate “sexual misconduct” in both men and women, while encountering Huo Xing and Ling Xing was thought to predict “dying in the streets.” These negative outcomes were combined, suggesting that unless stars like Zi Wei and Lu Cun could suppress the malefic influences, the person’s fate would involve exile or hardship.

Individuals with this constellation rarely face significant dangers in modern times. In ancient society, there were fewer professions prone to public criticism or scandal, whereas today, many jobs involve handling controversies, such as lawyers, advertisers, brokers, etc. So, even if Ju Men is in the Destiny palace with the four malefic stars, it might simply indicate a life full of turbulence and obstacles.

However, if Ju Men meets Hua Ji, this person may face serious legal consequences and imprisonment.

Zi Wei Dou Shu Constellation: Three Auspicious Stars Converging

The Three Auspicious Stars Converging constellation refers to a combination of the stars Hua Lu (Star of Prosperity), Hua Quan (Star of Authority), and Hua Ke (Star of Prestige) meeting in the Destiny palace.

An ancient verse says:
“Three auspicious stars converge towards the Zi Wei palace
This is greatly favored in one’s life destiny
It harmonizes Yin and Yang, making a true prime minister
A career of wealth and honor unmatched by others.”

Typically, Hua Lu indicates wealth and official positions, Hua Quan signifies power and authority, and Hua Ke represents fame and reputation. Therefore, the Destiny palace greatly benefits from having these three stars together.

However, the constellation is only considered auspicious if it does not encounter the four malefic stars: Huo Xing, Ling Xing, Qing Yang, Tuo Luo, or stars like Di Kong and Di Jie, or stars like Tian Xing and Hua Ji. If the three auspicious stars are present but encounter malefic stars, a detailed analysis of the qualities of the transformative stars is needed to assess the advantages and disadvantages in the person’s destiny.

Thus, there is no constellation more complex in Zi Wei Dou Shu than this one!

In the best configuration for the Three Auspicious Stars Converging constellation, Hua Lu is located in the Destiny palace, while Hua Quan and Hua Ke are positioned in the triangle. It is not favorable for Hua Lu and Hua Quan to be in the same palace because their concentrated influence might create imbalances in other palaces.

If Hua Quan resides in the Destiny palace, it generally signifies authority, but if it encounters malefic stars, it could indicate having a title without real power. Hua Ke in the Destiny palace usually means genuine fame, but if it meets malefic stars, it might suggest a person only has a false reputation.

Therefore, the Three Auspicious Stars Converging constellation is not easily perfect.

In ancient times, this constellation was highly valued for bringing honor and wealth through government service, as farming and trade were considered less prestigious. However, in modern society, Three Auspicious Stars Converging constellation could indicate a leadership role in a financial conglomerate, not necessarily a government position.
