FAQ
Why is Tai Yin associated with the Moon?▾
The Moon is its traditional image: reflective, receptive, cyclical, private, and connected with accumulation over time. Zi Wei Dou Shu also assigns Tai Yin different strength states across the chart; these are technical conditions, not literal lunar effects on wealth or mood.
What are Tai Yin people like?▾
Gentle, sensitive, patient, and aesthetically gifted. Weaknesses: moody, indecisive, and easily affected by their environment.
What is the difference between Tai Yin and the Sun?▾
The Sun governs the "outward" (career, reputation, generosity); Tai Yin governs the "inward" (emotion, real estate, subtlety). The Sun is day, Tai Yin is night — together (Ri Yue) they balance.
