Lucky and malefic stars in Tử Vi: Thiên Mã, Kình Dương, Đà La…

Beyond the 14 main stars, a Tử Vi chart has many minor stars, split into lucky and malefic. Knowing their roles makes a chart far clearer.

Notable lucky stars

• Lộc Tồn: wealth, blessing, protection.
• Thiên Mã: movement, drive, change — "Lộc Mã" (Lộc Tồn meeting Thiên Mã) is very good for wealth.
• Tả Phù – Hữu Bật: helpful mentors and support.
• Văn Xương – Văn Khúc: study, exams, writing, fame.

Notable malefic stars

• Kình Dương – Đà La: the "twin blades" — obstacles, gossip, accidents when strong.
• Địa Không – Địa Kiếp: loss and flighty ideas.
• Hỏa Tinh – Linh Tinh: haste and sudden upheavals.

Malefics are not always bad — well placed, they can forge drive and resilience.

Reading principles

• Judge the whole configuration, not one lone malefic.
• Lucky stars with Hóa Kỵ or many malefics lose their shine.
• Malefics tempered by lucky stars can "turn bad to good".

Combine with the Four Transformations

A star's true force also depends on the Four Transformations. Read from main stars → lucky/malefic → transformations.
