In its system, Ziwei star is the first among all the stars, hence the name Zi Wei Dou Shu.

Zi Wei Dou Shu absorbs the strengths of many, integrating multiple elements and secrets such as ancient astrology, the Book of Changes, and Taoist thought. After long-term development and evolution, it has formed a unique life prediction system.

III. How does Zi Wei Dou Shu predict fate?
1. Determine the life chart
Determine the twelve palaces: Based on the birth time, first determine the position of the Life Palace. Then, in counterclockwise order, arrange the Brother Palace, Spouse Palace, Children Palace, Wealth Palace, Health Palace, Migration Palace, Friendship Palace (Servant Palace), Career Palace, Field Palace, Blessing Palace, and Parent Palace. These twelve palaces represent twelve main aspects and fields of life.
Place the stars: According to the heavenly stems and earthly branches information of the year, month, day, and hour of birth, place numerous stars (such as the fourteen main stars like Ziwei, Tianji, Taiyang, as well as auxiliary stars and assisting stars like Zuofu, Youbi, Wenchang, Wenqu, and malefic stars like Huoxing, Lingxing, and transformed stars like Huayin, Huayang, Huayin, Huayang) in the corresponding palaces.

2. Analyze the stars
Interpretation of star characteristics:
Main stars: The fourteen main stars each have their unique natures and symbolic meanings. For example, Ziwei star is regarded as the imperial star, representing nobility and authority, with leadership abilities and strong self-esteem traits. Tanlang star governs desires and peach blossoms, and has characteristics such as being good at communication and having a strong curiosity.
Auxiliary stars: Zuofu and Youbi can enhance the power of the main stars. Tiankui and Tianyue represent the help of noble people.
Malefic stars: Malefic stars like Huoxing and Lingxing will bring impacts and obstacles, increasing the twists and turns and variability of life. Qiangyang and Tuoluo represent conflicts and disputes.
Transformed stars: Huayin symbolizes wealth and good luck; Huayang represents power and control; Huayin represents reputation and studies; Huayang indicates obstacles and troubles.
Analysis of star combinations: Different stars combined in the same palace will produce different effects and influences. For example, when Ziwei and Tianfu are in the same palace, it will enhance the noble air and wealth fortune of the life master. While when Lianzhen and Tanlang are in the same palace, the peach blossom nature is even stronger, but it may also bring emotional troubles and twists.

3. Observe the palaces
Meaning of the palace itself: Each palace has its specific meaning and reflects different aspects of life. For example, the Life Palace represents a person's overall fate and personality traits; the Wealth Palace reflects financial fortune and wealth status; the Spouse Palace is related to marriage and emotions.
Relationships between palaces: There are certain interrelationships between the twelve palaces. For example, the opposite palace (the opposite of the Life Palace is the Migration Palace). The star combinations in the opposite palace will have an impact on the original palace, usually indicating the influence of the external environment on oneself or one's reaction to the outside world. In addition, there are also trine palaces (such as the trine palace composed of the Life Palace, Wealth Palace, and Career Palace). The star combinations in the trine palace can comprehensively judge a person's development trends in career, wealth and other aspects.

4. Combine the four transformed stars
The four transformed stars (Huayin, Huayang, Huayin, Huayang) are very important elements in Zi Wei Dou Shu. They will appear in different palaces as time and heavenly stems change, having an important impact on the pattern and fortune of the life chart. For example, when Huayin is in the Wealth Palace, it may indicate that financial fortune is good during a certain period and there are opportunities to make money. When Huayang is in the Spouse Palace, it may mean that there will be some troubles or obstacles in marriage and emotions.

5. Comprehensive judgment
Analysis of major trends and yearly fortunes: In addition to the natal chart, changes in major trends (taking ten years as a stage) and yearly fortunes (each year) are also used to further analyze the fluctuations in fortune. The life chart of the major trend is based on the natal chart and changes and deduces according to certain rules, reflecting the development trends and focuses of life at different stages. The yearly fortune life chart is for a specific year. By analyzing the changes in the star combinations and the four transformed stars of the yearly fortune, it judges the good and bad fortune, career development, emotional status and other aspects of that year.
Comprehensive consideration: The analysis of the life chart needs to comprehensively consider multiple factors such as stars, palaces, four transformed stars, major trends, and yearly fortunes. A judgment cannot be made based on just one factor. At the same time, it also needs to be flexibly interpreted in combination with the actual life background, personal experiences, and personality characteristics of the life master. Because Zi Wei Dou Shu is only a prediction tool and cannot completely determine a person's fate, but rather provides a reference and inspiration.
