Sword Star
Also known as: Goat Blade, Yang Knife, Sword.
This star suggests someone who has a very aggressive and deep attitude towards life.
People who possess this star will tend to speak up in favor of weak people and defend them than themselves,
even if it is harmful.
Those with the sword star will do well as trade union leaders or leaders of political opposition parties.
This star brings charisma and power.
People who possess this star in their birth chart can be said to possess hard-headed mind, they are also strong-
willed, impatient and violent.
Weak self-element will promote the positive nature of this star, but a strong one will show its negative
attributes.
When this star is favorable in your chart (e.g. weak day master), you gain respect and admiration from people in
your surroundings, brings added confidence and success, and helps you to achieve your goals.
If it has either its secret friend or ally present in the earthly branch as well, there are more benefits.
When this star is not favorable (e.g. when your self-element is strong) personal relationships will be bad, as
your peers, friends, relatives and people in your network explain your determination and will as arrogance and
self-centeredness, there will be a high inclination for people finding fault with you.
When sword star encounters combination or conflict, it is activated (the sword moves), which means a greater
possibility of injury or aggression.
As the name implies the star's effect is much stronger in people whose Day Master is yang, in yin people the
star is less effective, and if it lies on a heavenly void, then the effects can be reversed.

Tai Ji Star
Also known as Tai Chi Star.
It can be considered as spiritual Nobleman star, although most people are concerned about wealth ,and use it as a measure of status and
achievement ,yet others- although few- can see religion and spirituality as a more precious value that should be traced instead.
In our materialistic world many can disagree with that view, but that is the world of spirituality where wealth is not the most important thing to
pursue, there are other simple things in life are more morally valuable and meaningful to pursue instead.
When this star appears in bazi, it implies a person with great intuition, tendency towards spirituality, and a person who is not much affected by
abrupt and accidental circumstances.
The person has different vision than common people, and can be much interested and understanding to metaphysics, astrology… etc, that may
be of no or little interest to others.
Since Metaphysics and feng shui rely mostly on spirituality, absence of this star is not a good indicator to guarantee success and progress in
that field.
Having more stars in your chart, is not very much auspicious, as it also points to major sad or tragic events that can occur frequently in life.

void
Also known as: heaven void, death and emptiness, or the star of void.
The void star causes the representations of earthly branches to reverse, i.e. It results in reversals from good to bad or vice versa.
The meanings are not necessarily bad: Death and Emptiness means that the Branch is not able to support the Stem, however, if the branch is
unfavorable (a Stressful Star) to begin with, then the influence is negated, which helps a person to get rid of its negative effects. The opposite is
also true, and the overall effect is like the pillar with the death or emptiness branch has taken a holiday, and has come useless.
If found in:
Month Pillar: can indicate separation from family, and no supporting siblings, or siblings are weak or sick; little luck during young adulthood.
Year: exclusion from society or no blessing/ inheritance from older generations; also means tough or difficult childhood with little or no love
and care.
Day: weak or no support from spouse; problems in marriage; also little luck during middle age.
Hour: An isolated person, with their thoughts, can't connect, or instead can indicate a person who works alone, gets no help from children or
children are weakling or die prematurely; little luck during old age.
However there are many applications and interpretations about void branch.
We can look at, through na-yin prospective also as follows:
When a metal vessel is empty-void this gives unhindered sounding, and is good for jobs that require speaking and communication. Sound is
heard.
When water is in void, it means clearness. So it means intelligence and righteousness.
When earth is in void, it collapses, so it is not good.
When fire is in void, wind blows in and becomes flaming and gives out light. This is considered as auspicious.
When wood is in void, this is more difficult. Wood needs support to survive, and it withers and dies without it. It is an image of loneliness, it
breaks.
Another way of analysis of void branch is to check the branch from transformation star prospective of a pillar as follows:
1-Friend in void: little or no support from siblings or siblings are not helpful or poor relation; no or little support from husband or wife.
2- Rob wealth in void no support from siblings; problems in accumulating wealth; prone to wasting money.
3. Hurting Officer in void: few children or no kid; marital problem or remarry.
4. Eating God in void: little luck and frustrations from life generally.
5. Direct Wealth in void: problems in accumulating wealth; toiling hard for money; lacking relationship with wife; late marriage; no family
harmony.
6. Indirect Wealth in void: poor relation with father; no unpredictable wealth luck.
7. Direct Officer in void: little wealth from government jobs; not adequate for having children difficult for a man, and relation can suffer for a
woman.
8. Qi-sha void: little/no support from managers and bosses; DM has no authority or influence; few children for male, poor relationship with
husband for female.
9. Direct Resource in void: problems in gaining authority and education successes.
10. Indirect Resource in void: problems in getting success in academia or school.
The void is temporary and can be compensated if the branch that appears in year or 10 year luck cycle, is in combination or clash with birth
branch.
This star is derived from Day or Year Branch.
Solitary Star
Also known as: Hermit loner, Loneliness.
It means separation from loved ones, friends, there may be misunderstandings, difficulty establishing relationships, loneliness that can result in
depression, the solitary star loneliness is a choice, and when in bad aspect can bring misfortune to family members specially parents.
If it is found with death stars, it is not auspicious as good luck is not realized in that time, but if it receives support from other stars, these can
remove the solitary nature.
If the Day Pillar is the Solitary Star, The person will have no sympathy with the spouse and children.
The Solitary Star at Year Pillar is better for getting a foster parent, because it could cause harm the biological one.
This star has some positive sides, if well directed as lonesome one, e.g. one can become a scientist or focus on spiritual growth, only when the
person is able to concentrate on the positive aspects and not on the negative ones.
