An Tian Fu Xing Jue (Determining the Tian Fu Star Position)

In the ancient astrological system of Zi Wei Dou Shu, the "An Xing Jue" is a crucial method for determining the positions of stars, among which the "An Tian Fu Xing Jue" has unique rules and significance.

"The Tian Fu commands the Southern Dipper, often opposite the Zi Wei Palace," this phrase highlights the important characteristics of the Tian Fu Star and its basic correspondence with the Zi Wei Star. As the leader of the Southern Dipper stars, the Tian Fu Star holds a significant position in the stellar system of Zi Wei Dou Shu, often positioned opposite the Zi Wei Star. The Zi Wei Star, being the Emperor Star, symbolizes nobility and authority, like a ruler of a nation; whereas the Tian Fu Star can be likened to a prime minister, governing wealth and treasury, characterized by stability and inclusiveness. Together, they echo each other, forming the core framework of the Zi Wei Dou Shu destiny chart, playing a key role in determining the richness and status of an individual's destiny.

"The interchange of Chou and Mao, Wei and You as roots, moving between Wu and Xu, shuttling between Zi and Chen, galloping between Si and Hai, sharing positions in Yin and Shen," these lines detail the specific rules for the Tian Fu Star to determine its position based on the Zi Wei Star. When the Zi Wei Star is located at the four main palaces of Zi, Wu, Mao, and You, the Tian Fu Star is opposite. For instance, if the Zi Wei Star is in Zi, the Tian Fu Star is in Wu; if the Zi Wei Star is in Mao, the Tian Fu Star is in You. When the Zi Wei Star is in the four tomb palaces of Chou, Wei, Chen, and Xu, the Tian Fu Star is two palaces apart from the Zi Wei Star. For example, if the Zi Wei Star is in Chou, the Tian Fu Star is in Mao; if the Zi Wei Star is in Wei, the Tian Fu Star is in You. In the four horse palaces of Yin, Shen, Si, and Hai, the Zi Wei Star and the Tian Fu Star are in the same palace, that is, if the Zi Wei Star is in Yin, the Tian Fu Star is also in Yin; if the Zi Wei Star is in Si, the Tian Fu Star is also in Si.

Taking a specific destiny chart as an example, if the Zi Wei Star is determined to be in the Wu Palace through other An Xing Jue methods, according to the "An Tian Fu Xing Jue", the Tian Fu Star will be in the Zi Palace, positioned opposite each other. The determination of such star positions lays the foundation for a comprehensive interpretation of the destiny chart. Astrologers use the positional relationship between the Tian Fu Star and the Zi Wei Star, combined with the combination of other stars in various palaces, to infer a person's financial status, career development potential, personality traits, and fluctuations in life fortune. For example, when the Tian Fu Star is opposite the Zi Wei Star and auspicious stars gather in the three aspects and four directions, it often indicates that the individual possesses good financial fortune and career development opportunities, achieving high success in their field, demonstrating extraordinary leadership and stable decision-making capabilities; if the Tian Fu Star is in an unfavorable position and interfered by malefic stars, it may suggest that the individual may face obstacles in wealth management and career advancement, requiring cautious handling.

The "An Tian Fu Xing Jue" is an indispensable part of the An Xing process in Zi Wei Dou Shu. The position it determines for the Tian Fu Star plays an extremely important role in the in-depth analysis of the destiny chart and the interpretation of personal destiny. It is a key content that astrologers and enthusiasts need to master proficiently. However, it should be clarified that Zi Wei Dou Shu, as a traditional astrological study, has not been fully verified by modern science for its scientific validity and exists more as a phenomenon and knowledge system of traditional culture.
