Shen sha 1 / 36 · Nobleman Star
The Nobleman Star is one of the 36 shen sha, anchored on the day stem → four branches (10-row table). Traditional sources rank it first among the auspicious stars: where it appears, hostile stars are said to yield. The table below is the complete lookup — every row links to the branch or pillar page so you can verify it — and the picker repeats the same engine data for whichever anchor you choose.
This page is generated by engine v0.14.0, not hand-written; the table was cross-checked against external sources and against its own derivation (see methodology R32).

Two rival verses circulate: “Jia, Wu and Geng visit the Ox and the Goat… Xin meets Horse and Tiger” (used here) versus “Jia and Wu share Ox and Goat… Geng and Xin meet Tiger and Horse”. They agree on eight stems and differ only on Geng and Xin.

A note on what this page deliberately does not do: the popular versions of this material assign a fixed personality to each term — one character per branch, one destiny per stage. This site rejects that framing. What is published here is a structural position: which element sits where, on what kind of ground, with which tenants inside. The same term reads differently under a different month command, and no meaningful judgement exists without the other characters of the chart. Where the tradition offers a reading it is labelled as the tradition's; this site's own contribution is that every number and term on this page is computed, versioned and checkable against the methodology page.

Every enumerable component of ba zi has its own page here. Each page is computed by the same engine and can be checked item by item — none of it is a personality table.
