What this energy is like

You tend to perform better in a changing, moving environment than staying in one place.

You're likely to find opportunity in travel, relocation, international work, or other active fields.

How it is determined

First find the three-harmony (三合) group that the year branch or day branch belongs to; the star is present if any of the chart's four branches contains that group's target branch. The four groups are 寅午戌, 巳酉丑, 申子辰 and 亥卯未.

· inosul(寅午戌) → sin(申)

· sayuchuk(巳酉丑) → hae(亥)

· sinjajin(申子辰) → in(寅)

· haemyomi(亥卯未) → sa(巳)

FAQ

Is having the Travel Star a bad sign?

No. Although the name carries the character 殺 ("kill"), modern practice reads the Travel Star as a marker of temperament rather than fortune. It must be read within the balance of the whole chart and the flow of luck pillars, and the Travel Star alone never determines good or bad.

Which part of the chart determines the Travel Star?

The basis is laid out above under "How it is determined". The table used is the same one this site's calculator actually applies, so your own chart is checked against the same rule.
