Lesson 5: An Introduction To Zi Wei Dou Shu Astrological Analysis

The Major Stars and Their Meanings

Unlike Nine-Star Ki, there are about 115 stars used in Zi Wei Do Shu! These are not actual stars, but mathematical symbols used to represent different energies that transit through our lives. 14 of these are considered major stars, and have more impact than the others.

A very amusing story that makes the "stars" come to life in legend can be found at this link: http://www.geocities.com/ziwei_doushu/wa... . Called "Waltzing with the Stars", it is a fascinating story giving personality to each of the major star influences. Each of the major stars are detailed as follows:

1. Zi Wei - The King, King of Stars, or Emperor
   This star is the basis for the name of this astrological system, and is also known as the Emperor Star. Where it falls in your chart is where you are demanding and imperial. If it falls in your Spouse palace, you will marry someone that wants to be treated like a king or queen!
2. Tian Ji – Always Moving, Motor
   Tian Ji represents active intelligence, but can be unstable because of it's changeable nature. This can indicate someone who learns quickly and is a great negotiator. However, if located in your Spouse palace, it can represent instability in your marriage.
3. Tai Yang – The Sun
   The symbolism of the Sun is expansive and expressive, but can also indicate an area where we are boastful and blunt.
4. Wu Qu – The Army General, Dance
   Wu Qu represents military authority. In your Wealth palace, this star can bring prosperity and a successful career. However, those with this star in their first house can be the type who gives orders easier than taking them!
5. Tian Tong – The Relaxed Lover of Life, Servitor
   Tian Tong brings a love of luxury and the good things in life. It can indicate where you will have an easy time of things, and also where you will be a little lazy. This star is often associated with weight issues. It also indicates where you will daydream and romanticize things.
6. Lian Zhen – The Politician, Virgin
   Lian Zhen is the politician star and also one of the “peach blossom” stars – those stars associated with romance, flirting and affairs. If positively positioned, it can bring success in dealing with others, if poorly positioned, it can represent being "too slick", problems with infidelity, gambling, or alcohol.
7. Tian Fu – Emperor’s Treasury,Palace
   Tian Fu is the star that represents great wealth, and is symbolic of great company leaders. If it is in your Self house, it can indicate business potential. If poorly aspect, it represents the white collar criminal or embezzler.
8. Tai Yin – The Moon
   The symbolism here is the same as the Moon in Western astrology; psychic skills, intuition and feminine traits are indicated. If this falls in your self house, it is said to make you very physically attractive.
9. Tan Lang - Impatient and Hungry, Aphrodite
   This is the "Greedy Wolf" star - it can motivate you to get much done or make you very greedy and impatient wherever it falls.
10. Ju Men – The Huge Door or “Big Mouth”, Giant Gate
    Similar to Mercury in Western astrology, this star governs communication or how you use your "mouth". If well positioned, it gives gifts as an orator or public speaker. If poorly positioned, you can spend a lot of your life "with your foot in your mouth".
11. Tian Xiang – The Emperor’s Minister, General
    Tian Xiang is a rather passive or non-ambitious star and can indicate a person who will do better at administrative jobs rather than those in the spotlight. It is a loyal and hardworking star.
12. Tian Liang - Longevity, Honest
    This is a "go-getter" star, but represents a passage through bad times before reaping the harvest. It can indicate talent as a religious leader.
13. Qi Sha – The Risk Taker, Seven Swords
    Qi Sha is a very strong star, and gives the ability to take risks. It can indicate an area of our lives where we see things in black and white only, and where we will not bend.
14. Po Jun – The Resistance Breaker, Demolisher
    Po Jun is another strong and aggressive star that shatters and breaks things– all must be torn down. Guided properly, the person can learn to create a new, better structure. Po Jun can make a person tough to get along with if found in the self house.

1. Hua Lu “Transforms Salary” also called Fortune, helps bring money, good luck and helpful people – this is the best of the 4 transforming stars.
2. Hua Qua “Transforms Authority” also called Power, brings power and authority.
3. Hua Ke “Transforms Name” also called Success, brings fame and name.
4. Hua Ji “Transforms to Trouble” also called Cloud, is a very inauspicious star that transforms the star it is attached to negatively. For example, Ju Men with Hua Ji can cause you to speak tactlessly - Ju Men represents the mouth and Hua Ji brings trouble to the mouth, thus problems with speech.
