Shen sha 32 / 36 · Officer Star

Officer Star (Guan Xing) — the Chinese astrology star 官星

The Officer Star is one of the 36 shen sha, anchored on the re-uses the ten-gods rule: branch main qi × day stem. Officer Star is not a separate table: it is the branches whose main hidden stem acts as Officer or Killing for your day stem. 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).

What this page deliberately does not do

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.

FAQ

How is the Officer Star (Guan Xing) determined?
Anchor on the re-uses the ten-gods rule: branch main qi × day stem. Officer Star is not a separate table: it is the branches whose main hidden stem acts as Officer or Killing for your day stem. The full lookup is printed in the table above; the picker repeats the same data for the anchor you choose.
Does Officer Star appear in my chart?
Check the anchor against your four pillars: the day stem for stem-anchored stars, the year or day branch for trine-anchored ones, the birth month for month-anchored ones. The shen sha index page also has a scanner that reads a birth time and scans all 36 stars at once.
Does the Officer Star mean I am lucky or unlucky?
This site deliberately stops at the rule and the table. Classical texts attach auspicious or inauspicious readings to each star, but those readings assume a full chart analysis; printing a verdict from one tag is the kind of claim we refuse to make.
