Ancient Astrology

Chinese astrology is based on the twenty-eight constellations. An example of this is found in the Q&A between Zhang Guo and Li in Volume 3 of "The Astrology of Guolao": "Mr. Zhang Guo took Wang Bo's order and showed it to him. Wang Bo's destiny was to sit on the wing. Water retreating sunrise in the square, wood for aid. And Zi Pei Kui Bi's second. Therefore, he is a good writer. To establish oneself with the name, to lose oneself with the name. Jin Yao Dou. The line of well wood, against the injury. Marco Polo a front and a pair, compete with each other to win or lose, the evil death is undoubtedly, the son of its treatment.

These stars twenty-eight constellations, most of them are dark stars, only the corner of the constellations is a first-class bright stars. According to the research of astrologers in recent years, it has been found that the stars with the greatest effect on the natal chart are those with the greatest brightness and close to the ecliptic. Each bright star shines on its own, just like the sun. We call the dozen or so brightest stars visible to the naked eye first magnitude stars. The light from these bright stars can have a decisive effect on a person's out-of-life disk.

Besides the ecliptic, there are also many stars in the three walls near the north celestial pole. Gou Chen in Zi Wei Yuan is the modern Polaris. It is worth mentioning that the popular "Zi Wei Dou Shu" has the stars Greedy Wolf, Ju Men, Lu Cun, Wen Qu, Lian Zhen, Wu Qu and Broken Army. According to the book "History of Chinese Astronomy", these are all Sanskrit translations of the "Brahma Vulcan" translated by the Tang monk Zhang Sui. They are in fact the seven stars of the Big Dipper such as Tianshu, Tianxuan, Tianquan, Yuheng, Kaiyang and Shaking Guang of Ursa Major. According to the translated Buddhist text, India uses the Big Dipper as the image of the town general, and their names, in order of precedence, are Greedy Wolf (Lust), Chumen (Home), Lukchun (Loc), Wendian (Man), Lianzhen (Zheng), Wuju (Wu), and Baojun (Army). These seven stars of the Big Dipper are nearly perpendicular to the ecliptic and far away from the twelve houses of the zodiac, and therefore have no role in astrology.

The role of sidereal planets, by and large, is to enhance the planets on the natal chart. For example, if Jupiter is in the same degree as Regulus 14 on the natal chart, it will increase its splendor. If Saturn is in the fifth degree of Da Ling, you will have a lot of bad luck in your life. If Jupiter is in the same degree as Regulus, one's life will be full of misfortunes. If Jupiter is in the same degree as Regulus, one's life will be full of calamities. The difference between a king and a prince and a peddler lies in the stellar star of the natal chart.

Chinese astrology due to the wars over the ages, measurement of weather lost, the observation of the planets are not accurate, so even the push of luck also rely on the degree of the twenty-eight constellations, mixed with some superstitious components of the gods, is now nearly lost. On the contrary, Western astrology mastered the laws of planetary motion, the planetary push luck, both accurate and spiritual.
