The lead star rules the hour
The lead star is found from the xun head and then placed in one palace. Here the xun head is Jia-Zi, and the lead star is Tian Qin at Qian.
The lead star does not replace the other stars. Qian also holds the Scenery door and heaven-plate Ding.
The lead door is the door of the hour
The lead door sits in one palace. Here it is Death at Kan. Kan’s star is Tian Zhu and its spirit is the Snake.
If the question names another door, the useful door is that one. Otherwise the useful door is the lead door.
Where a sentence stops
A sentence that can be written points at a palace and a door: the lead door Death is at Kan, and Open is at Zhen. A sentence that names a day or a sum of money cannot.
A health question still stops on the board. It does not replace a clinical visit. This is an illustration.
The definition is on What Qi Men is.
Common mistakes
- Treating the lead star as a day master from another system.
- Picking a useful door the question did not name.
- Using the lead door to name a result on a chosen day.
