Overview

Major-star pages begin with canonical identity and calculated residence, then add palace, companions, transformations, relational geometry, variants, and limits. No star is a complete personality or status label.

What this section covers

The overview preserves the complete canonical list and placement families.

The Zi Wei Star page demonstrates the required entity-page method.

Begin with the fourteen-star overview, open the resident star’s canonical page, and then compare companions, palace context, transformations, and four-palace geometry.

  • Start with names and residence.
  • Add interpretation second.
  • Use one canonical star owner instead of searching isolated adjective pages.

Star-page workflow

Find the resident palace and companions, then collect transformations and four-palace context.

State which properties are common, source-specific, or modern editorial metaphors.

For a citable star reading, retain the star key, resident palace, companions, brightness-table version, transformation source, timing layer, and any borrowed-star status.

  • Keep deterministic and interpretive fields separate.
  • Cite school tables.
  • Return to the chart whenever a star claim lacks a palace record.

Stable keys, variable wording

The major-star membership is stable while brightness and archetype descriptions vary.

Translations must preserve the Han name so readers can compare traditions.

A source may document a traditional property while software documents placement. Keep those claims separate and identify which table, edition, or editorial layer supplies each statement.

  • One canonical product key per star.
  • Aliases do not create new stars.
  • Treat modern metaphors as editorial guidance, not inherited doctrine.

No single-star typing

A star cannot establish morality, occupation, health, wealth, or relationship outcomes.

Use its themes as conditional prompts within the full chart and lived context.

The hub supports contextual questions, not single-star personality typing. No major star alone proves status, morality, occupation, diagnosis, or relationship outcome.

  • No human ranking.
  • No deterministic stereotype.
  • Compare the proposed theme with observable behavior and counterevidence.
