Birth-year transformations
Birth-year transformations for Yi years
The stem of your birth year sets your birth-year transformations. Born in a Yi year, yours are Tian Ji Hua Lu, Tian Liang Hua Quan, Zi Wei Hua Ke, and Tai Yin Hua Ji. (The year changes at Lunar New Year, not on January 1.)
The four transformations of Yi years
Tian Ji Hua Lu
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.
Tian Liang Hua Quan
Transforms into Shelter; the elder star. Care, principles and lecturing, and the protection that turns trouble into a way out.
Zi Wei Hua Ke
Transforms into Honor; the imperial seat. Self-respect, leadership and image. It needs supporting stars around it to form a court; alone, it works harder.
Tai Yin Hua Ji
Transforms into Riches; ruler of property. Careful, inward, perceptive, valuing security. Bright, it is gentle and warm; dim, it worries more.
Open each transformation to see what it means in each of the twelve palaces.
