The Chart of a Writer
AI translated from the original Chinese.

Most people who study literature dream of becoming writers, but very few can really keep creating and become writers. Yet in their charts there must be some things in common. This issue, let's write about a few writers' charts; perhaps those who aspire to create can see whether they have such a pattern.
A person's innate gifts all show in the chart; becoming a writer must leave traces. So which stars represent a writer?
文昌 (Wen Chang) and 文曲 (Wen Qu):
文昌 and 文曲 are the source of literary creation. A chart without 昌曲 (Chang Qu) can't be read for literary creation
化科:
To become a writer, 化科 is very important. 化科 represents fame and reputation. If you love to create but have no Ke stars, it's not easy to become a writer. After all, the title of writer needs society's recognition
Romance spirit stars:
紅鸞 (Hong Luan), 天喜 (Tian Xi), 咸池 (Xian Chi), 天姚 (Tian Yao). These stars heighten aesthetic and artistic sensitivity
With this understanding, let's look at a writer's chart!
This chart belongs to a writer still active on the literary scene, mainly writing poetry, with occasional novels, and she is also very interested in visual art. Let's see why this chart is a writer's pattern.
Where the chart's pattern lies
化祿 ●
子, 丑, 寅 and 卯: all 4 branches have 化祿, and 丑 and 寅 in particular are both "flanked by 化祿"
化權 □
子, 丑 and 寅: 4 化權 concentrate across these 3 branches, and 丑 in particular is where the Quan stars concentrate
化科 △
The three harmonious branches 巳, 酉 and 丑 meet; 丑 carries the power of Lu and Quan, so we also place the Ke-star pattern here
From the combination of Lu, Quan and Ke, the 丑 Palace is the strongest, so the pattern is in 丑. Next, let's read the pattern from the 丑 Palace.
The pattern in 丑
Sun and Moon sitting together, seeing 地空 (Di Kong)
She has always had literary talent, especially creative, leaping ideas. In my experience, when 太陽 and 太陰 (Tai Yang, Tai Yin) sit with 空, the creative work is often mainly poetry. Sun and Moon also symbolize light and shadow, so she is very likely interested in visual art too.
"Sitting with nobility, facing nobility"
The chart's pattern sees 天魁 (Tian Kui) and 天鉞 (Tian Yue), forming the "sitting with nobility, facing nobility" pattern, and as the pattern books also say, "天魁 and 天鉞: writing unrivaled in the world"
Other patterns
昌曲 flank the 丑 Palace, giving its 化科 the power of 昌曲 and strengthening its creative energy.
The romance spirit stars, 天喜, 紅鸞 and 咸池, all meet at the 丑 Palace, strengthening her artistic energy and her reputation.
左輔 (Zuo Fu) and 右弼 (You Bi) diversify her creative work, so besides poetry, there are novels and visual works too.
Overall Judgment
This person is richly talented in writing; her creative work is mainly visual art, poetry and novels, and she is quite well known. Anyone in touch with Taiwan's literary scene probably knows her name.
This chart clearly suits work in aesthetics, art and creation, and she is walking that road, in line with the chart's pattern, so she has achieved much and is widely known.
