    Overview

    The 108 Stars in Zi Wei Dou Shu

    In Zi Wei Dou Shu, your Life Chart is like a map of the sky at your birth, populated by many different stars. While there are over a hundred stars in total (108), they aren't all equally important. They're categorized into five "grades" based on their influence.

    Think of these stars as actors in a play, with some having leading roles and others playing supporting parts.


    The 1st Grade Stars

    The Major Players (32 stars)

    These are the most significant stars, having the strongest influence on your life.

    Tian Fu Group: 


    B. The 18 Support Stars

    These stars modify or enhance the influence of the Master Stars.

    Summary

    Note: All the stars discussed in this article are analyzed using the San He method to provide deeper insights. The Si Hua method doesn’t emphasize the detailed traits of individual stars or most of the minor stars; instead, it concentrates on the four transformers (Si Hua) to interpret outcomes.
