Tian Liang
The Guardian Star · Protection・Maturity・Integrity・Resilience
Tian Liang transforms into “shelter” — it rules longevity and parents, and classically “shelters the self and blesses descendants.” With it in Life you are mature beyond your years, upright and candid, love to look after people and give advice, and tend to turn crises around at the last moment. Like a great tree, you shield those around you.
✦
Steady, principled and elder-like, with a knack for escaping danger; suited to medicine, education, counselling and public good.
☾
Can preach, meddle or seem aloof; and your pattern is often “trouble first, rescue later,” which takes patience.
Bright, it brings integrity and renown; with Tai Yang, Wen Chang and Lu Cun it forms the “Yang-Liang-Chang-Lu” pattern, excellent for exams and reputation. Fallen, it tends toward solitude and wandering — cultivate virtue.
