More on the Deceptions of 天梁

AI translated from the original Chinese.

We'll discuss four fraud cases related to Earth stars in a row. Let's see what this case looks like!


Case Summary

Name:

Sheri Diamond

Major events:

Age 1: born 06:26, January 28, 1953, in San Diego, California

After age 20: by 1971 she already had about 20 fraud convictions on record

Age 42: arrested April 26, 1993; US$248,000 in cash was found in her 1988 Cadillac. In addition, police seized 330 shirts, 709 pieces of underwear, 276 scarves, 295 pairs of earrings, 160 skirts, 104 sweaters, 5 fur coats and 472 pieces of jewelry. She was later sentenced to nearly 5 months and fined US$262,000.

(Ages are counted in the East Asian way.)


Transformed:

Main star 太陽 (Tai Yang)

  1. 太陽 in 辰 carries 陰煞 (Yin Sha). As said in the previous case, when the subject's main star carries 陰煞, they are usually the backstabber for others, and of course also run into backstabbers themselves.
  2. The subject is a Dragon; her main star 太陽 falls in the 酉 Palace of the second chart: 太陽 and 天梁 (Tian Liang) in 酉, neutral.
  3. The 酉 Palace sees 火星 (Huo Xing) and 鈴星 (Ling Xing), a "Ten Evils" pattern. As discussed before, people with the Ten Evils pattern often ignore social and moral constraints and act perversely.
  4. 太陽 is a romance star; seeing 咸池 (Xian Chi) and 天喜 (Tian Xi), she is lively and warm, witty and humorous in speech, likable. Together with 天梁, she inspires trust.
  5. 太陽 and 天梁 in 酉, stem 己: 文曲 (Wen Qu) becomes 化忌 in 未. The 未 Palace is where the Ji stars concentrate; more on that below.

The 辰 Palace

  1. 廉貞 (Lian Zhen) in 辰 carries 陰煞; 廉貞 is Yin, and seeing 陰煞 is poor.
  2. 天府 (Tian Fu) carries 陰煞, stem 甲; 甲 makes 太陽 become 化忌, and 太陽 is her main star. As said before, the Earth stars govern deceit, making her disregard honesty.
  3. 廉貞 and 天府 have no malefics but see 地空 (Di Kong): not proactive about earning money.
  4. 擎羊 and 陀羅 (Qing Yang, Tuo Luo) clash with 廉貞 and 天府: for money, she'd do anything, except bother to work.

The 未 Palace

  1. 天同 (Tian Tong) and 巨門 (Ju Men) are weak in 未. Both are Water, and Water governs wisdom, but weak Water stars may apply their "wisdom" in the wrong places.
  2. The 未 Palace sees 昌曲 (Chang Qu), raising the "wisdom" of 天同 and 巨門 a level. If 昌曲 in 未 had Lu stars concentrated, one could speak of devoted research, but here 昌曲 in 未 have Ji stars concentrated: she schemes crookedly.
  3. Sees 鈴星. In fact 天同 and 巨門 seeing 鈴星 is also a Ten Evils pattern.
  4. The three sides see 左輔 (Zuo Fu), 右弼 (You Bi), 天魁 (Tian Kui) and 祿存 (Lu Cun): masterful swindling skills without a visible flaw. She knows many tricks of the con and lives by them.

Overall Judgment

The subject is warm and lively, witty and humorous, and easy to warm to. Even so, she always wants something for nothing, so her brilliant way with words isn't used for work but for swindling. And she gained a good deal from her cons.

Imprisonment

By her second major period she already had nearly 20 fraud convictions, and she was finally caught at 42, in her fourth major period. Yet she was sentenced to only 5 months plus a fine.

Why only 5 months after years of swindling? All I can say is that 太陽 is a benevolent star: she only swindled and never used violence.

If you want to see where her imprisonment came from, follow the same approach: bring in 廉貞, 天刑 (Tian Xing), 白虎 (Bai Hu) and 官符 (Guan Fu), and see what happened. I won't go into it further here.


There are many kinds of crime, and fraud is naturally not tolerated in a modern society under the rule of law. But at the very, very least, people like this don't use violence to cause others physical harm. All I can say is that such people have intelligence and talent but don't use it for good, only chasing pleasure. A real pity.
