Chinese Astrology - Zi Wei Dou Shu

The second set is named Chang Sheng Shi Er Shen 长生十二神
because the first star in the set is Chang Sheng 长生.

The Stars are as follow:
1. Chang Sheng 长生 (Beginning)
2. Mu Yu 沐浴 (Accumulating)
3. Guan Dai 冠带 (Maturity)
4. Lin Guan 临官 (Appointment)
5. Di Wang 帝旺 (Pinnacle)
6. Shuai 衰 (Fading)
7. Bing 病 (Ailing)
8. Si 死 (Deteriorating)
9. Mu 墓 (Dormancy)
10. Jue 绝 (Termination)
11. Tai 胎 (Conception)
12. Yang 养 (Development)






First of all, determine the subject's Element Phase (五行局).



This is pretty straight forward.
If one is of Water Element 水二局, establish Chang Sheng 长生 in Shen 申 Palace.

Thereafter, depending on Yin/Yang Male/Female, the other 11 Stars will be plotted sequentially
into each of the other 11 Palaces, as per the first set of stars.


Example:


The subject is of Wood Element,
thus Chang Sheng 长生 is established at Hai 亥 Palace.

The subject is Yang Female (Anti-Clockwise direction).
Thus, Mu Yu 沐浴 is established at Xu 戌 or Friends Palace.

Followed by the next star Guan Dai 冠带 at You 酉 or Career Palace, and so on,
till the last star, Yang 养 at Zi 子 or Health Palace.
