What Tian Ji in the Life Palace looks like
The same star in a different branch has a different brightness, and shows up differently. Below, the readings are split by brightness.
When bright (Miao or Wang)
You think fast and see the whole picture, and breaking things down comes naturally. Don't let overthinking hold up action.
When steady (De, Li or Ping)
You think fast, have plenty of ideas and break things down before you look at them. Boredom is what you fear most, and you can easily overthink.
When dim (Xian or Bu)
You react quickly but tend to overthink, and your ideas often go around in circles. Just start with one small thing.
