The fourteen characters the system works with.

The Fourteen Major Stars

Fourteen major stars are distributed across the twelve palaces. They are not planets and they do not correspond to anything in the sky — they are positions in a calculated system, derived from the birth date, hour, and true solar time.

Each star is a character with a method: The Emperor sets direction, The General executes, The Voice questions, The Pioneer rebuilds. What a star means depends heavily on which palace it lands in — the same Wolf reads very differently in Wealth than in Partner.

Some palaces hold two majors, some hold one, and some hold none. An empty palace is not a blank: it borrows from the palace opposite, and that borrowed reading is genuine.

The Emperor紫微 · ZǐwēiThe system is named after this star. It sets direction — and rarely does the work itself.The Strategist天机 · TiānjīSees the angle everyone else walked past. Thinks fast, and thinks a lot.The Sun太阳 · TàiyángGives first, and the room warms up. It gives light, not heat.The General武曲 · WǔqǔDecides fast, then actually delivers. The hardest-edged of the wealth stars.The Peacemaker天同 · TiāntóngThings loosen when you arrive. That ease is a real skill — and it has a price.The Maverick廉贞 · LiánzhēnDoes it their own way, and it keeps working. The most complicated star in the system.The Treasurer天府 · TiānfǔThe safe place everyone ends up leaning on. A star of reserves, not of income.The Moon太阴 · TàiyīnPicks up what was not said, long before anyone says it.The Wolf贪狼 · TānlángWants all of it — and is charming enough to get it. The star of appetite, and of range.The Voice巨门 · JùménSays the thing everyone in the room was thinking and nobody said.The Right Hand天相 · TiānxiàngTrusted with what actually matters. The seal star — the one who holds the stamp.The Guardian天梁 · TiānliángLooks after people whether or not they asked. The shade star — shelter after trouble starts.The Warrior七杀 · QīshāWould rather go alone than go slow.The Pioneer破军 · PòjūnTears it down and rebuilds it better. Demolition first, then the building.
