In Pole Star Astrology (Zi Wei Dou Shu 紫微斗数) there are 14 major stars. It's very interesting to see where is their location on the sky.
Here is a simple chart, which I have used for my Zi Wei Dou Shu class some years ago:
And here are the proper names and positions of the 14 stars:
Sagittarius constellation ♐
Qi Sha 七杀 --- Polis (13 Mu Sagittarii)
Tian Xiang 天相 --- Kaus Borealis (Lambda Sagittarii)

DeleteAnni do you know the very interesting app Lunar Calendar - they have included many asteroids and Vedic information
ReplyDeleteSounds interesting, thank you! Please specify the link of this application, because there are many lunar calendars. It would be nice to look at it.
Deletevery good work annie....also please understand that...zi wu liu zhu accu on time ...does not have gaps in the time intervals !!! nature is an interplay of ebb and flow ...this is why one atom can grow into two !! also the southern hemisphere of earth has a different interplay than that of the north !
ReplyDeleteThank you, J Patto. There are different systems for zi wu liu zhu and one can write a book with all the charts of the exact time of the opening and closing of the points. Most of the time there are several points on different meridians opening simultaneously at one and the same hour. This could be felt through qigong meditation practice. Thank you for pointing out the difference of qi flow in the Southern and Northern hemisphere! Hope one day can visit the Southern hemisphere, so to experience the qi flow there!
