Chapter 5 of 15
星学大成
Lu Xun: Each of the Ten Heavenly Stems has its corresponding "Lu" (emolument) star and "Xun" (distinction) position. The correspondences for the Heavenly Stem Lu are: Jia corresponds to Fire, Yi to the Comet (Bo), Bing to Wood, Ding to the Metal Star (Venus), Wu seeks Earth, Ji is the Great Yin (Moon), Geng corresponds to Water, Xin to Qi (Ethereal Energy), Ren to Ketu (Ji Du), and Gui to Rahu (Luo Hou) [Translator's note: the original text reads "癸罗?" — the "?" should be "睺" (Hou)]. The Xun positions are: Jia at Yin, Yi at Mao, Bing and Wu at Si, Ding and Ji at Wu, Geng at Shen, Xin at You, Ren at Hai, Gui at Zi. When related stars fall into their Enclosures or Temples (Huan Miao), they are regarded as honored and revered.
Yu Tang: This refers to the Heavenly Nobleman (Tian Yi Gui Ren), which has two sets — Day and Night noblemen. Day noblemen: Jia, Wu, Geng at Chou (Ox), Yi, Ji at Zi (Rat), Bing, Ding at Hai (Boar), Ren, Gui at Si (Snake), and Xin at Wu (Horse). Night noblemen: Jia, Wu, Geng at Wei (Goat), Yi, Ji at Shen (Monkey), Bing, Ding at You (Rooster), Xin at Yin (Tiger), Ren, Gui at Mao (Rabbit). The original annotation states that day and night noblemen are determined according to the calendar; the transcendental books record Yin and Yang noblemen — after the Winter Solstice, use the Yang nobleman, and after the Summer Solstice, use the Yin nobleman. When the Heavenly Nobleman enters the Destiny Palace without violating Void Desolation or Messenger Horse, blessings are profound. For female destinies, it is not advisable for the nobleman to carry Void Desolation and Messenger Horse; the Five Elements also fear excessive flourishing, preferring instead decline, idleness, death, and extinction.
Wen Xing: Jia sees Rahu, Yi sees Ketu, Bing and Wu see Metal, Ding sees Fire, Ji sees Qi (Ethereal Energy), Geng sees Wood, Xin sees Earth, Ren sees the Sun, Gui sees the Moon — these are the Literary Stars. The Literary Star arises from the mutual interaction of two images forming literary refinement; Water and the Comet (Bo), having no substantive nature, are not taken as Literary symbols.
Kui Xing: Jia takes the Great Yin, Yi takes the Great Yang, Bing takes Rahu, Ding takes Ketu, Wu takes Fire, Ji takes Metal, Geng takes Water, Xin takes the Comet, Ren takes Qi, and Gui takes Water as the Chief Star. The Chief Star is formed by the harmonious union of Yin and Yang generating each other; Earth, being turbid and dull, is not included.
Wen Chang: Jia at Si, Yi at Wu, Bing and Wu at Shen, Ding and Ji at You, Geng at Hai, Xin at Xu, Ren at Yin, Gui at Mao. Wen Chang corresponds to the hidden stem within the Earthly Branch that the Heavenly Stem generates through the Five Elements. The branches Zi, Chou, Chen, and Wei are not included because Wen Chang prefers to be visible rather than hidden.
Ke Ming Star: Jia and Yi pair with Wood, Bing and Ding pair with Fire, Wu and Ji pair with Earth, Geng and Xin pair with Metal, Ren and Gui pair with Water. The Ke Ming Star must be in the Seven Strong Palaces, moving in sequential order and entering temple glory, to indicate high rank; if it is in the Five Weak Palaces or the Retrograde and Stationary section, even passing the examination, the rank will be low.
Ke Jia Star: The ruling star of the palace opposite the Destiny Palace is the Ke Jia Star. For example, if the Destiny Palace is in the Sagittarius (Ren Ma) Palace, its opposite is the Gemini (Yin Yang) Palace, and the water star ruling the Gemini Palace becomes the Ke Jia Star. If it is in the Seven Strong Palaces in direct motion and entering temple glory, it indicates top honors; if in the Five Weak Palaces with stations and retrograde, the examination rank will be low.
Guan Xing: Jia takes Qi, Yi takes Water, Bing takes Rahu, Ding takes Ketu, Wu takes the Comet, Ji takes Fire, Geng takes Metal, Xin takes Wood, Ren takes the Great Yin, and Gui takes Earth as the Office Star (Guan Xing). The Office Star is the "Lu" (emolument) corresponding to the Office Star, which the Qintang school calls the "Opposite Lu."
Yin Xing: Jia Wood, Yi Sun, Bing Fire, Ding Moon, Wu Earth, Ji Rahu, Geng Metal, Xin Ketu, Ren Water, Gui Comet. The Seal Star is formed by the mutual correspondence of the same category in the Five Elements; only Qi is not included.
Cui Guan Star: Jia Metal, Yi Water, Bing Sun, Ding Rahu, Wu Wood, Ji Qi, Geng Comet, Xin Earth, Ren Moon, Gui Ketu. The Cui Guan Star governs promotion in office and advancement in rank, as it mutually impels with the Lu Master. Only Fire is not included, as it partakes of the Sun.
Lu Shen: Jia combines with Wood and Comet, Yi Water, Bing Ketu, Ding Rahu, Wu Earth, Ji Fire, Geng Metal, Xin Qi, Ren Sun, Gui Moon. The Lu Shen serves as the Correct Emolument, governing official salary and provisions.
Xi Shen: Jia Rahu, Yi Ketu, Bing Qi, Ding Water, Wu Moon, Ji Earth, Geng Metal, Xin Water, Ren Comet, Gui Fire. The Joy Spirit follows the Moon in reverse order; its sequence is contrary to that of Lu.
Tian Chu: This is the Shoku-jin Lu (Food God Emolument). Jia indicates the position at Si, Yi at Wu, Bing at Zi, Ding at Si, Wu at Wu, Ji at Shen, Geng at Yin, Xin at Wu, Ren at You, Gui at Hai [Translator's note: the original line "丁戊己午己申储" is likely erroneous; deemed a conventional reading "Ding Si, Wu Wu, Ji Shen" is applied here]. If Tian Chu enters the Destiny Palace, it governs fortune; entering the Fortune and Virtue Palace or the Travel and Relocation Palace is secondary. For men, it often indicates abundant wealth and attaining nobility in middle age. For women, it indicates title honors. If the Tian Chu star declines into weakness, lifespan is diminished; in high strength, one's state is self-assured.
Tian Si: Jia takes the Great Yin, Yi Water, Bing Qi, Ding Ketu, Wu Rahu, Ji Fire, Geng Comet, Xin Wood, Ren Metal, Gui Earth as the Heavenly Progeny. It is determined through the remaining emolument, the changed transformations, and the transformation of honors, relating to offspring.
Sui Dian: To locate it, count in sequence from the birth year Heavenly Stem through the Twelve Palaces to the same-position palace. For example, for a person born in the year Bing Chen (43rd year in the cycle), start counting from Chen with Jia, count forward to Wu, and one recognizes Wu as Sui Dian. The Sui Dian welcomes the body-mind master, fortune and emolument master, office star, Ke Jia, and Ke Ming resting upon it, termed "ascending the palace," indicating nobility. If the palace interior merely possesses stars, obtaining — from the body-mind, Sun and Moon, Fortune and Emolument, Emolument and Horse, Officer and Chiefster — concurrent brilliance, it also symbolizes nobility. If stray flying stars or prison-spite intrusion occurs, this becomes "guest stars approaching court, flying stars breaking the palace," which is inauspicious.
Sui Jia: The branch palace of the birth year forms the Sui Jia (Yearly Chariot). For instance, for those born in the year of Zi, Zi palace is the Sui Jia. It welcomes body-mind masters, Sun-Moon palaces, and Fortune Stars and Lu Masters nearing it; it symbolizes riches and nobility. If flying stars break the chariot, prison-spiters approach — calamity/misfortune befalls.
Di Jue: It is derived from the Earthly Branch of the birth year; when one encounters it, it lords over rank advancement and appointment. It welcomes officer and fortune star body-mind accompaniment. Favoring high strength and disfavoring sinking situations. The original five-character verse, to some extent errors in transmission, implies generally: Rat and Monkey belong to Earth; Boar and Goat belong to Fire; Horse and Ox belong to Water; Rabbit belongs to Qi; Tiger is orphan-spirit; Snake belongs to Wood; Rooster and Dog belong to Metal; Dragon encounters Comet as Jue, implying office of clarity.
Hong Luan Tian Xi: Hong Luan counts upward in reverse from the Zi year at You; Tian Xi counts upward in reverse from the Zi year at You. Governs marriage and felicitations; they face each other.
Tian De Yue De: Tian De counts in order from Zi year at You; Yue De counts in order from Zi year at Si. The convergence of Heaven and Moon Virtues — within the Trinity of harmony — if resting on body-mind, portends great nobility for men and women, also known as pressure-killing stars.
Jie Shen: Heavenly Release from Chen palace — Zi year comes sequential movement; Earthly Release rules so that Zi meets Wei during the afternoon, Chou in restraint, etc.; actually: Zi-Chou years at Wei, Yin-Mao years at Shen, Chen-Si years at You, Wu-Wei years at Xu, Shen-You years at Hai, Xu-Hai years at Wu — dwelling only in the six Yin palaces. Jie Shen dissolves all harshness, stirs all kindness. Simpler: so may dissolve all quarrels.
She Wen: Serving for Destiny Master ruling some Palace as “father/mother” star: if originally the destiny-master of Earth —— Flying to a separate domain where fire-ness rising becomes parent —— in nine particulars — etc. Detail: in Earth rules from one’s bound, deriving 'Earth' seat void — fire this mother with symbol vaj–doted; etc.
Tang Fu enters the Eighth Location linked with the Lu forward, and the Guo Yin (National Seal) exits the Ninth Position concerning Lu, both stars supervising body-life thus being remarkable oddities.
Fu Xing Nobleman (Fortune Star Nobleman): Jia and Bing extend out to Yin, with further Zi ascending more strongly enough. Wu through Shen, Ji through Wei, Ding through Hai,Yi and Gui reaching Chou, Geng through Wu, Xin through Si, Ren through Chen. Its alignment — from — four placements of the Five-element dual structures.Fortune-Star governs imperious favor & examination honors.
Guan Xing Nobleman (Office Star Nobleman): Jia at You, Yi at Shen, Bing at Zi, Ding at Hai, Wu at Mao, Ji at Yin, Geng at Wu, Xin at Si, Ren at Wu, Gui at Si. This pre-determining champion gentleman etc— Office-nobleman governs scholarly accession 'duke-hood.
