Dexiu (德秀贵人)

Symbolic stars · Tendency: Auspicious

What it means

Dexiu (德秀贵人) forms from the harmonized yin-yang qi stored in the month branch—De (virtue) dispels ill, Xiu (refinement) gives elegance. A chart holding Dexiu unbroken by clash or suppression is intelligent, gentle and even-tempered; meeting the Xuetang (academy) star with Wealth or Officer present brings honor. As the verse says, 'On a Ji day the refined qi of Ren and Gui arrives; meeting Bing and Xin the foundation thrives'—it marks literary refinement and examination success.
