Lu on the Tai Yin Star: The "Something Extra," Seen Through the Star's Nature
Lu (Prosperity) on the Tai Yin Star is the Lu that comes from the Tai Yin Star. Tai Yin stands for a sense of security and the feeling of home; its nature is gentle, attentive, and sensitive. Lu means "something extra." So with Lu on Tai Yin, here is where you can look: there is a little extra when it comes to security and sensitivity. This article explains where you can look with Lu on Tai Yin; it is not a promise of good luck.
Tai Yin's Nature and How Lu Changes It
Tai Yin stands for a sense of security and for how you see home. It also carries the idea of saving: you feel at ease once money has been put aside.
Tai Yin is gentle, attentive, and considerate, with a sensitive mind, and there is usually a lot going on in its thoughts; at the same time, it knows how to enjoy life.
Traditionally, Tai Yin is described as transforming into "Wealth." Here, the energy transformation is a quality of the star itself; it is not the same as the Four Transformations of Lu, Quan (Power), Ke (Fame), and Ji (Obstacle). Transforming into "Wealth" does not mean that Lu on Tai Yin will bring you money.
A transformation never exists on its own; it always comes from a particular star. What Lu on Tai Yin adds lands on what Tai Yin cares about: you may be more willing to put care into looking after yourself and the people around you, and you may care more about the sense of calm that home gives you.
Where You Can Look When It Falls in a Palace
Whichever palace Lu on Tai Yin falls in, that area of life is where this extra sensitivity and calm are more likely to show up for you. Below are directions for four palaces only. Each one is a place "you can look," not the one answer.
Life Palace
The Life Palace shows what kind of person you are, along with your attitudes and values. With Lu on Tai Yin in the Life Palace, here is where you can look: in your attitude as a person, there is a little extra sensitivity and calm; you know better how to look after yourself, and you are more willing to be considerate toward the people around you.
Spouse Palace
The Spouse Palace shows your values in love, who you hope to be in a relationship, and how you are treated in one. With Lu on Tai Yin in the Spouse Palace, here is where you can look: in who you hope to be in a relationship, there is a little extra gentleness and attentiveness; you also care more about the sense of calm a relationship gives you. This is about attitudes and values, not things that have already happened; whether or not you have a partner right now, you can look at it this way.
Wealth Palace
The Wealth Palace shows your abilities and attitudes around money: how you earn, how you spend, how you manage it, and the values you hold about money. With Lu on Tai Yin in the Wealth Palace, here is where you can look: in how you manage money and the values you hold about it, there is a little extra sensitivity that comes from wanting to feel at ease; you may be more inclined to save a little and take care of things carefully, so that you feel secure.
Career Palace
The Career Palace (the palace of work and what you pursue) shows the focus of your daily life and how the value of your life shows. Lu in the Career Palace means more work and getting along well with people, and it has no direct connection to money. With Lu on Tai Yin in the Career Palace, here is where you can look: in the focus of your daily life, you may have more on your plate, and you may get along better with people; Tai Yin's attentiveness and consideration help you handle things more thoroughly.
| Palace | Where you can look |
|---|---|
| Life Palace | A little extra sensitivity and calm in your attitude as a person; knowing how to look after yourself and being considerate toward those around you |
| Spouse Palace | A little extra gentleness and attentiveness in who you hope to be in a relationship; caring about the calm a relationship gives you |
| Wealth Palace | A little extra sensitivity, from wanting to feel at ease, in how you manage and see money; wanting to save a little and take care of things carefully |
| Career Palace | More on your plate and smoother relationships in the focus of daily life, handling things more thoroughly; no direct connection to money |
This table is for reference. In practice, a reading takes many more details into account.
Birth-Year Lu and Annual Lu: The Difference
When it comes from your birth year. The Four Transformations that come from the Heavenly Stem of your birth year are what you were born with. People born in a Ding year carry Lu on Tai Yin in their chart from birth. The natal chart shows your attitudes and values over your whole life, so a birth-year Lu on Tai Yin is more like a little extra sensitivity, and care for feeling at ease, that you have always carried.
When it comes from the annual cycle. The annual Four Transformations follow that year's Heavenly Stem, so in every Ding year, such as 2027, everyone's annual cycle has Lu on Tai Yin; what differs from person to person is which palace of your chart it falls in. The annual cycle shows the opportunities or influences your surroundings bring you this year.
How You Can Approach It
Whatever Lu adds often goes toward filling the places where you feel something is missing. In the end, signs on the chart are measured against what actually happens in real life.
You can ask yourself:
- Where do you naturally want to put this extra sense of security, or this room to spare?
- Are you looking after others and taking care of things carefully as a way to feel at ease? When you do that, do you feel comfortable yourself?
Frequently Asked Questions
Does Lu on Tai Yin mean you will have money?
Not necessarily. Lu means "something extra," and for Tai Yin, what comes in extra is mainly a sense of security and sensitivity, not only money. Tai Yin transforming into "Wealth" describes the star's nature, and it is not the same as Lu either. Even when it falls in the Wealth Palace, what it shows is your attitude toward how you manage money and how you see it.
If Lu on Tai Yin comes in the annual cycle, will that year be very lucky?
Not necessarily. The annual cycle shows the opportunities or influences your surroundings bring you this year; it is not a guarantee of good luck. Every judgment is a relative comparison, and in the end, what actually happens is what counts. To see which four stars this year's Four Transformations fall on, see the yearly overview.
Does Lu on Tai Yin in the Spouse Palace mean your love life will go well?
Not necessarily. With Lu on Tai Yin in the Spouse Palace, what you can look at is the extra gentleness and attentiveness you bring to love, and how much you care about that sense of calm. The stars and transformations in the Spouse Palace stand for your attitudes and values about love, not for things that have already happened. What is really going on still has to be checked against real life; whether or not you have a partner right now, you can look at it this way.
How is Lu on Tai Yin different from Ji on Tai Yin?
Lu is "something extra," and Ji is a sense of something missing. In the Four Transformations table FuSang Vision uses, Tai Yin takes Lu with the Ding stem, Quan with the Wu stem, Ke with the Gui stem, and Ji with the Yi stem.
