紫微斗數全書 卷一
About this entry
天相 lies four palaces forward of 天府, and its only companions are 紫微 at 辰 and 戌, 武曲 at 寅 and 申, 廉貞 at 子 and 午. Five palaces are temple, five gaining, and only the pair 卯 and 酉 fallen.
化氣曰印 is the book's central phrase for it: its transformed energy is the seal, the stamp of office, and it is the star of the minister who assists the throne. The first answer in 卷一 credits it with truthful speech, sympathy on seeing hardship, and indignation on seeing wrongs. It is also described as a civil star of the Career palace, and the same answer says that a meeting with the emperor star leads to a contest for power.
This star is unusual in carrying none of the four marks in the Wikisource table or the calculator's default chart. In the book it is said to transform what is harsh in 廉貞 and to brighten the sun and moon, and the same answer calls it a blessing in all twelve palaces.
