The General Star (将星)

Symbolic stars · Tendency: Auspicious

From the classics

将星者，如将札中军也，故以三合中位谓之将星

——《三命通会》

What it means

The General Star (将星) takes the middle branch of a Three-Harmony bureau—e.g., Zi for Shen-Zi-Chen. It marks the bearing of authority, a dignified and decisive nature. It needs auspicious stars in support and noble forces alongside to be fortunate; flanked by a pure, unmixed noble storehouse it forms the 'general and minister' pattern, and carrying the Canopy and Direct Seal without a storehouse, the pattern of the two ministries.
