Strengths
- stability and reliability

- a gracious, inclusive manner
Room to grow
If you wait until everything is ready before you start, try a small, low-cost version first.

Where Tian Fu is bright or dim
| Branch | Zi | Chou | Yin | Mao | Chen | Si | Wu | Wei | Shen | You | Xu | Hai |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Brightness | Exalted | Exalted | Exalted | Favored | Exalted | Favored | Strong | Exalted | Favored | Strong | Exalted | Favored |
Brightness follows the table of the Complete Book of Zi Wei Dou Shu. A bright star shows its nature easily; a dim one asks for more effort, not for worry.
Tian Fu and the four transformations
Tian Fu takes none of the four transformations in any year, so it is read through its palace and the stars beside it.
A question for you
