Zi Wei’s annual transformationsDing year

In 2007 Zi Wei Dou Shu lights four stars: one carrying 祿, one 權, one 科, one 忌. The four stars are the same for everyone; which square they sit in on your chart is what is yours.

LuTai Yin 太陰 · is where something comes to you祿 means “something comes in”. Wherever it sits, that part of life tends to flow in more easily this year. Tai Yin: the inward one — fine, soft, and remembering a lot. Your care is detailed; the ledger you keep is rarely visible to anyone. glossary
QuanTian Tong 天同 · is where you call the shots權 means “you call it”. Wherever it sits, that part of life tends to go better with you in the lead this year. Tian Tong: the soft one, finding the comfortable place to sit. Not competing makes life easier, and lets what you want slip away. glossary
KeTian Ji 天機 · is where you are seen科 means “easily seen”. Wherever it sits, that part of life tends to draw notice this year. Tian Ji: a fast mind, working several moves ahead. You think far and quickly, and tire on things that have not happened. glossary
JiJu Men 巨門 · is what you cannot let go忌 means “hard to let go”. Wherever it sits, that part of life stays on your mind this year. Not bad — it is what you care about. Ju Men: the mouth — accurate, and it lands where it hurts. Being right is your most useful and most costly move; a beat of pause changes it. glossary

The same Tai Yin 太陰 carrying 祿 says different things in different squares:

in “money”money tends to come in more easily. The internet’s “money while you lie down” year is true for this person only.
in “your body”the body is comfortable and rest comes easily. Not more money — more ease.
in “friends and contacts”friends help, someone picks up the bill. The gain comes from other people, not from lying down.

The same goes for Ju Men 巨門 carrying 忌: in the work square it is “work gets stuck”; in the love square it has nothing to do with work. So one sentence about a whole year misses three people in four.

Curious how it works?

The transformations follow the year stem: one set for each of the ten stems, round every ten years. This page uses the 全集 school’s table. The annual life palace is the square the year branch falls on; the twelve annual palaces count back from it; only then, with the four stars placed, is it one person’s year.

This year’s stem and branchDing Hai

From 立春 (the start of spring), 2007 is the year of Ding Hai — the “year of the Pig” people talk about. The stem is the year’s weather, the branch its terrain.

Year stemDing · yin FireDing: a candle. Small, focused, warm to whoever is close. You give heat deeply, to few people. glossary
Year branchHai · Pig · WaterA Pig year: last of the cycle — a full table, then goodbye. You give generously and guard little; keep a share for yourself. glossary
納音屋上土 · Earth life納音 pairs the sixty stem-branches into thirty images such as “water of the heavenly river”. It is a separate reading, not a summary of the stem and branch.

A year’s stem and branch only become a “flowing year” next to your own four pillars: whether it helps or presses on your day master differs from person to person.

Curious how it works?

The year pillar changes at 立春, not on 1 January and not at Lunar New Year. 立春 falls between 3 and 5 February; anyone born on those days needs the exact moment.

Nine Star Ki’s year star2 Black Earth

In 2007 it is 2 Black Earth’s turn in the centre; the nine stars take nine years to go round. It sets the year’s overall “climate” and which star each of the eight directions receives.

A slow star — deep earth, the kind that feeds things. Good for taking one thing deeper; bad for running five at once. glossary

The larger cycle is a twenty-year “period”: this is period 8 (2004–2023).

See the eight directions for 2007

Curious how it works?

The year star changes at 立春: add the year’s digits down to one figure and subtract from 11 (2026 → 1 → 一白). The directions are on the home nine-palace page; your own natal star is on the compass.

Numerology’s universal year2007 → 9

The digits of 2007 add up to 9. Numerology calls this the “universal year”, one number for the whole world; your own “personal year” adds your birthday to it.

Nine is the closing number: ending, releasing, giving away. Nine is for finishing what has dragged on too long. glossary

The universal year is the background hum; your personal year is the tune. The two numbers can match or sit far apart.

Curious how it works?

Method: 2+0+0+7 = 9, then add the two digits down to one; 11, 22 and 33 are kept when they appear. Personal year = birth month + birth day + the universal year.

How to read this page

These four signs are the same for everyone. They are about the year, not about you.
Any “this year everyone will…” comes from one of these signs. Knowing which one tells you how far the sentence reaches.
To know what it means for you, the sign has to sit on your chart: once signed in, the Zi Wei page draws where the four stars fall for you, and the years page lists your own flowing years one by one.
