Which star takes Ji in your birth year
The birth-year Four Transformations are set by the heavenly stem of your birth year: people born in a Jia year get Hua Ji on one star, people born in a Yi year on another. The table lists the star for each of the ten stems. If that star sits in your Siblings Palace, this page describes your chart. Tap a star name to read about it in the Siblings Palace.
| Year stem | Star that takes Ji | The flavor of Ji it brings |
|---|---|---|
| Jia years (ending in 4) | Tai Yang | You give a lot and are not always understood. |
| Yi years (ending in 5) | Tai Yin | A busy mind; feelings tend to turn inward. |
| Bing years (ending in 6) | Lian Zhen | Emotional clashes and battles over principle. |
| Ding years (ending in 7) | Ju Men | Loose talk and misunderstandings. |

Zi Wei Dou Shu changes year on Lunar New Year’s Day, so if you were born in January or February, check your lunar year first. The year stem follows the last digit of the Western year (1984 and 1994, for example, are Jia years).
What we measured
How we counted: our engine cast one Zi Wei chart for every day from 1960 to 2005, with the birth hour drawn by a fixed-seed random sample, 16,802 charts in all. This shows how chart structures are distributed; it says nothing about anyone’s fortunes.
In our sample, about 8.6% of people have the birth-year Hua Ji in the Siblings Palace; the most common stars are Tan Lang (12.3%), Tian Ji (10.5%), Tai Yang (10.4%). Hua Ji spreads fairly evenly over the palaces, and no palace is especially rare. The real differences lie in which star takes Ji, how bright that star is, and what other stars share the palace or sit opposite it.
