Today's scholar's chart is the last in this series.

Ms. X has been a professor for many years. Besides being kind to people and delving into her own field, she keeps learning new things.

For scholarship, again we look at the Water stars, and at 昌曲 (Chang Qu) with Ke stars.

天同 with 昌曲 and 輔弼

  1. 天同 (Tian Tong) sits in the 戌 Palace, the most prominent pattern in the chart. 天同 is Water and governs "wisdom."
  2. 天同 in 戌 meets all six auspicious stars: 左輔 and 右弼 (Zuo Fu, You Bi), 昌曲, and 魁鉞 (Kui Yue). In scholarship, 昌曲 govern depth and 輔弼 govern breadth: excellent learning. With 魁鉞 meeting, working in education, she's a good teacher who takes great care of her students.
  3. 天同 化祿 ● plus 化科 △: making a living from "wisdom," so she belongs in academia.
  4. Besides academic learning, 輔弼 and 昌曲 also represent an interest in subjects beyond one's own field, so she is learned and versatile.
  5. 鈴星 (Ling Xing) and 擎羊 (Qing Yang) sit in the 戌 Palace. With malefics sitting there, she easily feels uneasy with the status quo, and so keeps pushing herself to break through and innovate. Applied to "professional skills," this can make the pattern even stronger.
  6. The 戌 Palace sees the romance spirit stars 天喜 (Tian Xi) and 紅鸞 (Hong Luan): natural charisma, so she's popular with students.

Conclusion

Seven articles in a row on scholars' charts: you can savor the power of the Water stars and of 昌曲 with Ke stars. Even if people with this type of pattern don't work in academia, they'll be very willing to delve into whatever interests them, and gain deeply from it.
