In Qimen Dunjia (奇门遁甲）, the Nine Stars （九星）—also known as the Celestial Stars （天星), originate from the symbolic cosmology of the Great Dipper constellation （紫薇星宿）. These stars represent dynamic cosmic/celestial influences and, when cast onto the Earth Plate （地盘） within a Qimen chart, form an interwoven system of movement and structure representing opportunities and macro circumstances in general.
Apart from the deity (universe), it is part of the trinity of heaven (cosmic/macro influences), earth (doors-actions) and man (human actions and personalities). Each star’s behaviour across different palaces reveals not only its inherent characteristics but also how those qualities interact with the environment, people, and unfolding events. Their strength and individual attributes will manifest themselves in different palaces of the qimen chart.
1. 天蓬 (Grain & Dipper): Symbol of Mystery and Potential
Associated with the water element, Tian Peng governs intelligence, strategy, secrecy, and desire. On the Earth Plate, it signifies concealed or shadowy spaces such as toilets, wells, drainage systems, and basements. When it is with strength, it indicates a person of foresight and depth; when afflicted, it may point to hidden agendas, greed, or entrapment.
2. 天任 (Ambassador & Responsibility): Symbolises Stability and Duty
Associated with the earth element, Tian Ren represents dependability, being grounded, health, and administrative capability. It governs areas related to healthcare, offices, and HR functions. Ideal for personnel matters, healing, and behind-the-scenes operations, it is best positioned in administrative or support departments.
3. 天冲 (Destructor & Energy): Symbolises Action and Sudden Change
A wood-element star, Tian Chong is symbolic of movement, decisiveness, and disruption. It rules transitional spaces such as roads, staircases, and elevators. This star often signifies urgent responses, military action, or sudden decisions. In readings, it indicates momentum, but caution is needed to avoid rashness.
4. 天辅 (Assistant and Support): Symbolises Support, Wisdom and Education
Also a wood-element star, Tian Fu governs intellect, counsel, and education. It correlates with study rooms, classrooms, and meeting spaces. It favours advisors, strategists, and scholars.
5. 天英 (Hero and Fame): Symbolises Fame and Impulse
A fire-element star, Tian Ying is expressive, charismatic, and fame-seeking. It relates to areas with strong lighting, mirrors, entrances, and stages. In professional contexts, it favours competitive pursuits and public recognition.
6. 天芮 (Sickness and Weakness): Symbolises Illness and Concern
An earth-based star with yin energy, Tian Rui signals illness, decay, and worry. It resonates with damp areas, storerooms, and medical facilities. Frequently appearing in health-related readings, it may be an indication where both chronic conditions or emotional stress are present.
7. 天柱 (Obstacle and Pillar): Symbolises Obstruction and lack of knowledge
A fire-element star, Tian Zhu represents resistance, pride, and emotional strain. It manifests in confined or corner spaces and is often associated with individuals who are emotionally distant or rebellious.
8. 天心 (Celestial Heart): Rationality and Strategy
Belonging to the metal element, Tian Xin embodies logic, clarity, and decision-making. It governs legal departments, planning teams, and quiet, focused workspaces. It is ideal for those engaged in legal, managerial, or executive functions.
9. 天禽 (Beast): The Governor
Tian Qin occupies the central palace and is associated with balance, control, and integration. It symbolises the organisational core of a household or enterprise, such as the main hall, command centre, or leadership office and the governor. When properly supported, it enhances cohesion and authority; when weakened or vacant, it may reflect poor coordination and systemic imbalance.
“Their interaction (of the stars) with the palaces, auspicious doors, and heavenly stems can reveal the essence, trajectory, and outcome of a situation. They also reflect the dynamics of personal destiny, health conditions, and environmental energy patterns.”
