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.
