The Heavenly Three Marvels (天三奇)

Symbolic stars · Tendency: Auspicious

From the classics

天上三奇，十干惟此为异……三奇要顺布，不欲倒乱，如乙丙丁、甲戊庚，天干年月日时顺布为吉。

——《三命通会》

What it means

The Heavenly Three Marvels (天三奇) come in two views: Yi-Bing-Ding (the heavenly marvels, the De stems paired with their branches) and Jia-Wu-Geng (the earthly marvels, lodged at Dou, Niu, Jing and Gui). The principle prizes the three stems running unbroken in sequence, free of the Net and Void; it marks an extraordinary spirit, lofty bearing and broad learning, and with the Tianyi Nobleman, achievement beyond one's peers. An auspicious star.
