The four transformations of Ding years
Tai Yin Hua Lu
Transforms into Riches; ruler of property. Careful, inward, perceptive, valuing security. Bright, it is gentle and warm; dim, it worries more.
Tian Tong Hua Quan
Transforms into Blessing; the star of good fortune. Easygoing, fond of comfort, childlike at heart. Hardship first, sweetness later; too much ease saps its drive.
Tian Ji Hua Ke
Transforms into Goodness; the star of wisdom. Thinking, planning and change, with a tendency to overthink. Better at work of the mind than of the hands.
Ju Men Hua Ji
Transforms into the Hidden; the star of disputes. Eloquence, analysis, doubt and digging deep. Doubt first, trust later.
