The Sun

The Sun — 太阳 — is the star of generous, public-facing energy. People with this star in their Life Palace have a gravitational pull: friends, strangers, projects all orbit you. You give freely — attention, time, encouragement — and you tend to do your best work in front of an audience, even an audience of one. Your shadow is depletion: because you give without metering, you can wake up one morning hollow and not understand why. The Sun also runs hot — when you're disappointed in yourself or others, your judgment flares before your reasoning catches up. Classically, the Sun is brightest in the morning hours and dimmest at night, and Zi Wei reads this as a literal energy curve: many Sun-Life-Palace people are visibly different from morning to evening. The classical guidance: protect your light. Don't pour into people who won't appreciate it. Choose work where being warmly visible is the asset, not the cost.
