Understanding Di Kong
Di Kong (地空) does not carry the aggression, destructive force, or harmful nature found in other malevolent stars. Its primary transformation is one of exhaustion, leading to outcomes of emptiness and nihilism. Di Kong acts like a black hole, absorbing and neutralizing the influence of any star it encounters—whether aligned with or opposing San Fang Si Zheng (SFSZ / 三方四æ£) —without distinction between favorable or unfavorable stars.
Core Theme
Strong imagination, inspiration, and spiritual awareness—often at the expense of material security and emotional attachment. It’s associated with loss, emptiness, and sudden setbacks rather than visible action or steady progress.
Birth Chart Emphasis
- Emptiness / Void energy: 80%
- Wealth loss tendency: 50%
Overall Pattern
Life often follows a cycle of gain followed by loss. Stability is hard to maintain, and results may feel temporary or hollow.
Best Life Direction
Most supportive for academic study, research, spirituality, metaphysics, religion, philosophy, and deep thinking—rather than pursuing material wealth or status.
Best House Placement
Health House is the most favorable placement. Here, Di Kong helps neutralize both positive and negative star influences that could otherwise contribute to illness.
Weakest House Placement
Di Kong has the strongest impact on the mind, and when it appears in relationship-related houses (Siblings, Spouse, Friends), it can lower energy, motivation, and a sense of fulfillment in those areas. This often results in weak family bonds and unstable emotional relationships.
