The Multilingual "Moon Beauty"
AI translated from the original Chinese.
Anyone who has studied Zi Wei Dou Shu probably knows the so-called "Four Transformations of the birth year": the year of birth brings 化祿, 化權, 化科 and 化忌 (Lu, Quan, Ke, Ji), and these four are often the main key to our fortunes and misfortunes. But according to Master 紫雲 (Zi Yun)'s research, it is not only the birth year's Four Transformations that have power; the birth month, day and hour also carry the power of the Four Transformations, and even the earthly branches of birth have power. This view is called the "別觀法" (the "separate view" method).
That may be too technical, with too much jargon, so readers needn't understand the first paragraph. Just know that the moment we are born, we have what is called the "eight characters." The "eight characters" are the heavenly stems and earthly branches of the year, month, day and hour of our birth. From the Dou Shu point of view, both the stems and the branches affect destiny. This is the 別觀法 proposed by Master 紫雲.
I begin this way because I recently met a case. What should I call her? Let's call her the "Moon Beauty." Let's look at her chart:
Her birth branches are 午, 申, 午, 午. That is, this chart has an especially strong 午 Palace character.
Let's focus on the 午 Palace. It holds 太陰 (Tai Yin) and 天同 (Tian Tong). The subject is a woman, so we call her 太陰. And 太陰 is the moon, so calling her the "Moon Beauty" shouldn't be too much.
As usual, let's transform the chart:
Now 太陰 has moved from the 午 Palace to the 卯 Palace. What are the qualities of the 卯 Palace?
The 卯 Palace (with its three sides and four directions: 亥, 未, 酉)
- 卯 is the "bathing" position, also called the romance position.
- 太陰: a romance star; meeting the lesser romance stars 紅鸞 (Hong Luan), 天喜 (Tian Xi), 天姚 (Tian Yao) and 咸池 (Xian Chi), it takes on romantic qualities.
- 卯 Palace: 太陰 + 天喜 + 咸池 + 紅鸞 in 酉 + 天姚 in 未: four romance stars gathered, meaning the subject has "romance qualities."
Overall judgment: 太陰 plus four lesser romance stars shows in her appearance as good looks, in her talents as artistic gifts, in her life as a sense of beauty, and in her speech as wit and humor.
Beyond that, 太陰 people are generous and give widely, good at caring for others, gentle, reserved and cheerful.
I was delighted to meet such a special pattern. More importantly, besides expressing the qualities of 太陰, this "Moon Beauty"'s 太陰 stem, 己, also comes into play.
太陰 in 己: 武曲 (Wu Qu) becomes 化祿, 貪狼 (Tan Lang) becomes 化權, 天梁 (Tian Liang) becomes 化科, 文曲 (Wen Qu) becomes 化忌
We can see the subject's 武曲 is in the 戌 Palace, so the 戌 Palace comes into play too:
The 戌 Palace (with its three sides and four directions: 午, 寅, 辰)
- 戌 Palace: 武曲 + 文曲 + 左輔 (Zuo Fu)
- 辰 Palace: 貪狼 + 文昌 (Wen Chang) + 右弼 (You Bi)
- 文昌 + 文曲: intelligence, eloquence, sometimes a talent for foreign languages
- 左輔 + 右弼: extension, breadth
Overall judgment: 武曲 化祿 and 貪狼 化權 make her fortunes very strong; besides being smart and good at study, she is skilled in several foreign languages. 文曲 化忌 flanks the 戌 Palace with Ji, meaning she will learn a less common language.
What Actually Happened
The subject studied at a well-known national university, is deeply interested in language and literature, is fluent in two foreign languages, and works at a multinational company. She is now learning a third foreign language, and I believe in time she will be able to speak it as well.
Generally, mastering even one foreign language is rare. That she has mastered and taken up three is even more remarkable. This "Moon Beauty" has a great gift for languages, and such a special state naturally shows in her chart.
