Tianyi (天医)​

Function​

Tianyi (天医) is an auspicious star in the Four Pillars of Destiny, symbolizing connections with health, medicine, psychology, and related fields. Individuals with Tianyi in their charts often have advantages in physical health and excel in studying and researching disciplines such as medicine, psychology, and philosophy. The Tianyi star can enhance the individual's comprehension, observation, and intuition, making them suitable for careers in medicine, psychotherapy, philosophy, or the humanities. However, if the Tianyi star is not strong or lacks support from benefactors, the individual may have a weaker constitution and be prone to illness or health issues.

  • Physical Health: The individual is generally healthy, but if the Tianyi star is weak, they may experience frailty or health problems.
  • Medicine and Psychology: The individual possesses strong abilities in medicine, psychology, and philosophy, achieving success in these fields.
  • Learning and Research: The individual has strong learning abilities, observation, comprehension, and intuition, suitable for research-related careers.
  • Spirituality and Philosophy: Tianyi is also related to religion and philosophy, and the individual may have a deep interest in these subjects.

Method of Determination​

The method to determine Tianyi is based on the individual's birth month to identify the corresponding Earthly Branch (Dizhi, 地支) in the Four Pillars. The specific method is as follows:

  • Born in January, see Chou (丑)
  • Born in February, see Yin (寅)
  • Born in March, see Mao (卯)
  • Born in April, see Chen (辰)
  • Born in May, see Si (巳)
  • Born in June, see Wu (午)
  • Born in July, see Wei (未)
  • Born in August, see Shen (申)
  • Born in September, see You (酉)
  • Born in October, see Xu (戌)
  • Born in November, see Hai (亥)
  • Born in December, see Zi (子)

If the individual's birth month matches the above Earthly Branch combination, their chart contains Tianyi.

The Tianyi star originates from ancient worship of celestial bodies and natural forces, combining medicine, philosophy, religious thought, and astronomy. In destiny studies, the Tianyi star is closely related to health and medicine, symbolizing the ability to heal diseases and dissolve adverse energies. Ancient people believed that the Tianyi star could help individuals achieve outstanding accomplishments in health and medical research, making it especially suitable for careers in medicine, psychology, and philosophy.

According to the "Mingli Tongjian," it is said, "With Tianyi shining, one can become a good doctor," meaning individuals with the Tianyi star are well-suited to become doctors or engage in medical-related work. The ancient Zhang Jiao and his disciples also claimed to be Tianyi, excelling in treating various diseases, indicating that the Tianyi star is not only about medicine but also represents healing and saving abilities.

The Tianyi star is also related to the concept of "Tiandao" (Heaven's Way), representing the will of Heaven, capable of revealing the root causes of diseases from a transcendent perspective and reversing them. This reflects the mysterious nature of the Tianyi star in the destiny chart, symbolizing wisdom, healing, and the mysteries of life.
